[ dave actually had like, a few mouthfuls of food earlier so he doesn't seem that interested in the activity in terms of a personal i'm going to eat sort of way so much as he drifts over to the hubbub out of a sense of curiosity and a vague desire to be near all the activity.
granted, he equally isn't sure he wants to be, but for the most part dave stations himself somewhat near the cooking fire on the sand, though he ends up sprawled on his back and looking upwards at the stars.
his shades are on; they're not his, but he won't take them off for anything now. ]
If you make up a constellation and a story about it, I'll draw you somethin'.
[ it's his magic, not just a terrible trade offer. ]
ii. random telepathy matchup
[ he ignores the hello for a while, but then, in irritation: ]
ok yes fine hello can we stop with the Hello. now what even is that if youre gonna introduce yourself to a guy you have to add some pizzazz otherwise what impetus do i have to keep talking to you like you have to set the scene let me know your personality possibly threaten to troll me for the rest of my life i dont know thats happened a lot well a few times which is kind of weird? but anyway hi now stop sending Hello. at me and let my eyelids close onto nothing thanks failing that answer the following: if we switch tabs on our browser does a gif still loop
[ the cadence to the text is strange and rapidfire, and there's an after-sense of a texan twang even though he doesn't write it out. weird. ]
iii. music
[ dave's a simple soul. he immediately fishes out an mp3 player and headphones, and will sit there absently scrolling through the playlist on it, headphones clipped over his ears. they're kind of oldschool, but he finds that comforting.
he's not so distracted he won't look up when approached, though. ]
iv. space worms
[ ...kind of. dave's always up late so when the worms are a thing he peers up at the sky - and then immediately makes a face, opens his cabin door, and steps inside. ]
Nope. [ he has had enough of eldritch horrors, pretty or no? you're welcome to bother him about why he's up so late or whatever but he's about to close the door on this Everything. ]
