Hey, uh.

[There it was, the pleasant and calm sound of the ocean as waves touched on the shore of Aeolipile.

Dave cleared his throat and spoke up. This was, of course, ten minutes after his suit was ruined beyond repair. Anyone watching the shoreline might have seen a big glowing green sphere rise up from the sea, Dave coming back to life in the middle of it. When it was all done, there was the red outline of a spinning gear hanging over the beach where Dave stood.]

Anybody else havin' a shitty day so far?

Ok, I'll take your word for it. I still don't want you to go for selfish personal reasons, but I'm not gonna tell you to leave your crew to die or whatever. If they need you it can't be helped.

[He doesn't sound sure about any of this, just resigned to both of their mutual fates.]

Just be careful, ok? And make time clones. Lots of fucking time clones. Make an army of them if you have to. No one can resist the Dave army we both know that.

[It seemed a little stupid and contrite to lie to himself, so he shrugged where no one could see it.]

Time clones are always gonna be a thing, dude. This time I'm not gonna get caught off guard, but me bein' the one gettin' gutted ain't exactly my primary concern.

[Making sure the red-lady stayed alive was a pretty high docket on that list.]

But, hey. You keep non-crazy, yourself. Don't drink the putrid witch-brew, or whatever starts it.

Yeah, I thought so.

[Time clones are what he would've done so it's obviously what younger him is going to do too. Alpha Dave doesn't even know why he said anything. The last thing Beta Dave needs is some old, washed up version of himself giving him advice.

That isn't the only thing on Alpha Dave's mind though. He hasn't forgotten about Grell.]

I kinda picked a fight with her, so like... I'll back you up if she makes it over here, but who am I kidding you're gonna have the situation on lockdown long before that happens. Guess I'd better let you go.

She's got some badass teleporting ability like Harley has, but that's about it. That and the chainsaw.

But, I got this. Badass chainsaw doesn't stack up to mystical welsh sword, so I guess I won't be that easy to fuck over in round 2.

[Though, his goal, as always--was to just subdue Grell.]

But, yeah. Peace, dude. I'll be fine.
