nah its not about me in that sense
i just think itd be a shitty move on my part to call you by a class
we can stick with HK and its a middle ground just as long as we dont end up on an earth replica trying to send mail back and forth

you dont gotta be formal just daves fine

[instilled]

'HK' is perfectly fine.
There are others who use 'Hollow'.
Whichever you find best, Dave.

[itsknighttime]

HK it is
ill even use upper case probably until i resent pressing shift
ok im trying to get everyones species right and before i let you go so i dont put my foot in my mouth further
are you a moth very important question

[instilled]

No, not a moth.
The being you speak to is but a vessel.

[itsknighttime]

alright cool
im trying to understand what im getting told
its not that youre confusing just a new thing entirely for me
if you run into trouble or got a question you can ask and ill do what i can to help
all yall have been pretty cool to me so im goin to return that favor

[instilled]

That is very kind of you Dave.
Please know that the offer is mirrored.
In the meantime, for your advice, will a repayment of Chroma suffice?
All levels of its generation are fine to ask for.

Yeeesss the alien collection groooowwws.

[itsknighttime]

[[He feels John-tier stupid about what that might mean and assumes he's reading into it in the wrong way.]]

cool
knights got to stick together
i wasnt in it for the cheddar bro but if you wanna make sure you dont turn into a crystal i am down
i got a sick high five with your name on it or whatever it is that works
i should read the post again

oh shit right
did anyone send you the giantass post this helpful motherfucker made about the place and generation of chroma? i dont know how long youve been here im just makin sure to ask

Dave Strider: amatuer alien collector

[instilled]

[ Those sure are a lot of words it can't understand! But whatever a 'sick high five' is, it would return it in kind when Dave wanted it. ]

Yes.
The sick high five will be returned.
But which post would this be?
This place and its needs is not something to be ignorant of.

He's leaving Knight of Time behind for the new hobby lol

[itsknighttime]

[[The hazards of dealing with any Strider. Actually, not fair, just this Strider. Sick high fives for oblivious mammalian morons. It's a new hit single.]]

perfect
you cant leave a five hangin i figured you werent the type to fuck off on a good five

its this one
a real nice lady named angela told me about it
shes a real cool chick
like chicks are pretty cool normally but shes ultra cool
even runs a clinic so that people arent dying left right and center

well when's that sburb shit ever done anything good for him anyway

[instilled]

Thank you.
This is very thorough.
Your friend Angela sounds like a good person.
Being a doctor is not an easy task.

You make a valid point.

[itsknighttime]

yeah no problem i didnt make it but that shit helped me damn good too
man id be lucky to call her friend i mean i think she is but shes good people
i can tell good people
i bet it isnt easy what she does nah
anyway
im going to draw you up some more emojis over the next while so you can throw that shit in peoples faces too
again you aint got to do nothin for it i just want to help

[instilled]

Not a dung-beetle, but thank you Dave.
Though you say you need nothing, please do not hesitate to ask for assistance.

[itsknighttime]

[[This, since he's in the privacy of his own home, gets an actual laugh out of him. No, Dave he's being serious.]]

haha
ok
i like you
good one

yeah man i can pick up what you got down
tell you what when you got a free day we can sit around and do a chill
maybe we can catch a movie
you got movies you like?

[instilled]

Please do not think lowly of Hallownest.
It was a place of wonder.
But it did not have 'movies'.
What is a movie?
Also, it would be remiss not to tell you:
It is kind that you wish to spend time with this vessel, but it cannot offer you companionship nor an enjoyable time.
It is not a person.
It is a thing.
You would get little pleasure from its presence there.

[itsknighttime]

nah i just think you guys got a rough deal
its probably not the place itself just the shit yall have to go through

a movies like a story that can be real or fake or whatever and you go see it and enjoy it? well you try to enjoy it sometimes the stories can be shitty and not that great
looking at you americanized version of the grudge

did you just *CHALLENGE* me to find you pleasing? i feel like you just challenged me and i dont back down from a challenge as a strider
its not in my dna
bitch i am already enjoying your presence and like its cool you can be a thing to you but youre not a thing to me
people arent things youre a you to me
alright i got it
thats it
were having a sleep over some time and were painting our nails and well utter the traditional no homo to whatever god forsook us here
then were going to talk about boys in an irony only fashion right after it
barring that we make a better sleep over with blackjack and hookers
or just chill and like talk or not talk
play a game maybe if i can find some game shit here

thanks for being dave, dave.

[instilled]

[ There was so much in that message that the Hollow Knight didn't understand. The 'movies' sounded interesting, like the scrolls from Amegahara. Everything else...

Why would it paint its nail? To show expression? The idea of a self? Was this the same reason they would 'talk' about boys, too? To pretend it was a being that could be interested others? What was 'homo' and why was there none of it? Blackjack? Hookers?

It had no idea. ]

That sounds very nice, Dave.
If you do wish to do this, then please contact this account when the time is right for you.
Time will be made.

[ What else was it meant to say? ]

You mean be a confusing mess of teenager to a poor, sweet soul lol ♥

[itsknighttime]

[[Dave does this a lot to innocent bystanders and even if he got asked to stop he's not sure that he could promise that. It's his go to.

All of those answers and more because Dave is actually going to follow through with this one day once he's settled in. It doesn't matter if the guy doesn't have nails, or if he has seven arms that need a lot of nail polish. He's going to find out the secrets of girl stuff, find the best kinds and it's happening. He's backed himself into it, so it has to.]]

bro
itll be the fuckin best
you got it man im going to get all this shit together in like the next week so you have time to chill out and do vessel things
idk what those are but i bet theyre cool too
talk to you later im going to start writing out cool things to do at sleepovers

he's a treasure, god bless him

[instilled]

Very well.
This is something that will be looked towards.
Thank you for that, and for all of your help.
