[cykedfists]

Who: Athena Cykes (cykedfists ) & Bro Strider (stridercentric ) & Dirk  Strider (anotherdirkstrider ) & MAYYBBBEE Apollo Justice (justjustice )
Where: Athena's Apartment (Pisces 09-09)
Summary: After answering Bro's text, they somehow set up a not!date.
When: The night after this thread.
Style: Starting in 3rd, but I'm cool with either or.
Status: Closed

After their text chat, they had apparently decided that they were going to have a muppets marathon. Athena hadn't really been to Hinoto-ri for that long, so she didn't really know a lot of people yet. It was pretty strange how this was all decided, but if she could make a new friend out of it, why not? Besides.... something about eating pizza and having a movie night was kind of nice. It actually sounded like fun.

Athena's apartment was pretty plain at the moment, but she did try to make her apartment homey. Her mother's Hat-1 jacket was hanging up. Ever since she'd discovered it, she couldn't help but keep it out. Something about having it made her feel better, even if it did make her sad to see it too.

She had gone out to grab some pop with the pizza that Bro was bringing. While she waited, she set up the living area for their movie night escapade.

Haha thanks! :D About time Dirk started branching out, anyway.

[Who's this chick? Dirk doesn't recognize her, but it doesn't phase him. He gives a curt upnod.]

Sup. I heard Muppets.

[He leans over to see Bro.]

Bro, why didn't you tell me you're having a party? Leaving your own bro out of sweet shit like this is a mean move, aniki.

Good time to do so then

[cykedfists]

[Which is funny considering you're at her apartment.]

You heard... Do you have good hearing or something? Come on in.

[Moving out of the way to let him in. Bro? So they were brothers huh?]

Whoops, lol. :P My bad! Thought they were at Bro's.

[anotherdirkstrider]

I have my way of knowing things.

[Never even misses a beat. Dirk looks back to Athena with a complete deadpan and studies her face from behind his shades. Particularly with Bro not wearing a hat, he looks even more like a mini-me than usual.]

Name's Dirk Strider.

That's okay <3

[cykedfists]

Athena Cykes. It's nice to meet you.

[anotherdirkstrider]

Ditto.

[Dirk puts on a lopsided, cocky smile and holds out a fist to bump. This chick can't be someone Bro's dating, can she? Maybe there are more inter-universe differences between the two of them than previously thought. Not that chicks are gross or anything-- to dismiss an entire gender seems pretty damn sophomoric, in his opinion-- and he never did like to label his sexuality, but Dirk certainly had to wonder what differing circumstances might cause their respective orientations to branch off like that...]

[cykedfists]

[So she'll just fist bump back. No worries Dirk, they're not dating. This may be a random not!date, but neither of them are seriously thinking that it is a date. More than anything, it's just two people watching movies.]

Come in in.

[Heading back to sit down on the couch again.]

[anotherdirkstrider]

Thanks.

[Dirk follows her inside and seats himself on one arm of the couch.]

What did I miss?

Wow why did nobody ping me for this

[stridercentric]

[Sup mini-me. Bro will just hold out one of the pizza boxes so Dirk can take a slice, but you can bet he's not taking his eyes off the screen.]

Only the first ten minutes. Which are, y'know, kinda vital. You need me to rewind and start this thing over?

BP

[anotherdirkstrider]

[Dirk shrugs and takes a slice of pizza, biting into it with terrible manners as he talks.]

Nah, I know this movie well enough I've got the first ten minutes down pretty damn well. Thanks though.

[stridercentric]

[Good. Exactly the sort of answer Bro would expect from a Strider. Especially a Strider who's, well... him.]

Eh, you got it bro. [He basically tosses the pizza box back onto the table and sits back again, taking up way more space on the couch than is technically needed.]

[cykedfists]

[Of course they don't have manners. It's a wonder that Athena isn't saying anything. Instead, she's busy watching the movie while listening to them talk.]

Hey hey hey! My couch, my space.

[You're in her bubble right now Bro. Shoving him a little to the side lightly, she made sure she had enough room while allowing him to have room too.]
