Oh, no way! Weiss is my best friend. My birdy is named Daisy!

[ Why Daisy? We don't know.

But she asks for a song that is...whatever it is, here. ]

[itsknighttime]

Oops.
I'm learning names on the fly. Uneducated guess.

[[Why not Daisy? When the bird starts to sing the song, Dave is finally quiet. He likes music and he likes listening to it instead of talking through it, for the most part. In fact the knight is quiet the entire time the song is on and only shifts to get comfortable while listening to it, needing to push his dark sun glasses back on the bridge of his nose.

When it's over he nods his head.]]

Damn man, that's not the bass I was expecting but Christ if I don't love it anyway. That guitar was fuckin' crazy.

[sanguinertia]

Ooooh, speaking of names, I guess I should say! I'm Ruby.

[ Since her username is "crescentrose" that wasn't really obvious. ]

[itsknighttime]

[[He never expects anything more than user names on the network, it's still a way to refer to someone and it's nice she offered at least.]]

Dave.

[[He replies simply.]]

Ruby's a nice name. Is it a life style too?

[[Says the guy who types in red.]]

[sanguinertia]

Haha, I guess? It's more a thing back home - a long time ago there was a war that kinda involved, uh, destroying art and that kinda thing, annnnnnnd to summarize things a lot most people are named for colors or that sort of thing these days. And we wear lots of colors! My favorite one is red, obviously.

[ OBVIOUSLY. ]

[itsknighttime]

A war that destroyed art? You lost me but not my interest. I love art so a war over it sounds like some top tier adventure.

[[When she says red is her favourite. Gripping a small pinch of the outfit he's in, he pulls softly at the red fabric, mostly right over the cog on his chest.]]

You're among friends. Best colour and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[sanguinertia]

[ IT was not a top tier adventure since it was more a side effect of totalitarianism or whatever, so. ]

I mean, people could say otherwise! But they'd be wrong. Oh, hey - my entire name is red, actually? Ruby Rose.

[itsknighttime]

[[Knows that when there's no real answer given, he drops it. He's learned that from Karkat drilling it in his head but that all sounds like something that isn't as much adventure as it is horrible living conditions. Poor girl.]]

They'd be dead fuckin' wrong. It's a damn good colour.

[[His eyebrow lifts from behind his glasses.]]

Holy shit. Alright, you got me on that one at least. I can't say any of my names are red related.
Is this all coincidence? Fate? Coincifate? Both. All three.
I've never been in a place where people like red as much as this.

[sanguinertia]

You can always make up a reddish middle name!

[ That's how that works, right. ]

...Also, why would people not like red?

[itsknighttime]

[[He shrugs his shoulder, curling back into the corner of the couch he's now calling his own. Also according to Dave, yes, that's how it works. They can't both be wrong.]]

That's not a bad idea, I could handle having two middle names. Or just dropping one and going with a red name. Don't think t hey have birth certificates on this planet.

[[Another shrug.]]

There's a lot of redcists out there.

[sanguinertia]

Lame!! Red is the best color! ...Although I guess yellow and blue and black are cool, too!

[ Because she loves her color-coded friends. ]

[itsknighttime]

[[He huffs an amused noise and maybe there's even a little smirk on his lips.]]

Damn, well as long as red's the best. I guess the rainbow isn't so bad. Got a whole society of aliens back home who might or might not agree with you but I think that's cool. Right down to the black spectrum. Red and black aren't so bad either. Then 'gain red and yellow isn't so bad. Or red and blue.

[sanguinertia]

Uh...why do the aliens hate red?

[ You might have to run that one by her again, Dave. ]

[itsknighttime]

[[A shoulder shrug and he's sure he could explain the sufferer in small tense, but it's not something he heard too much on. Not past basics.]]

Something about it in their society they don't like 'cause it ain't their norm. It's stupid. They've got this whole system worked out on colour coding and if you don't fall in those lines you're not part of their shitty cool kid club. I think it's dumb but it's not my society. If it was I'd probably have fucked it up worse trying to fix it.

[sanguinertia]

That sounds...........really confusing! At least that's not a thing here. We're just, you know, "moonblessed".

[itsknighttime]

It's not so bad. Twelve colours, one of which's dead and gone so really only eleven. Warmer colours are lower, cool colours are higher... but yeah I'd hate a caste system here or anywhere. Let's just live. Live and not have to be furries would be great.

[sanguinertia]

I mean, I don't mind being part wolf sometimes! It's fun. I can smell more?

[itsknighttime]

You could even rent out your services to the police stations around here. Or finding lost items.
Okay it's not so bad.

[sanguinertia]

I mean, that could be pretty fun! I should get SOME kinda part time job I...guess? Beyond, uh...hugging people to afford cake?

[itsknighttime]

[[He shrugs his shoulder, shifting in place.]]

I mean that's basically a job here isn't it? They expect us to generate Chroma. Plus cake sounds like a damn good reason to give a guy a hug you know? If that were the way back home I'd think about it.

[sanguinertia]

So you won't hug people for just cake??

[itsknighttime]

I mean.
[[He pauses in momentary thought.]]
It depends on what kind of cake and it depends on what kind of person.

If some like ninety year old man comes up to me and a says "Would you like some cake little boy" I'm pretty much guaranteed to do a background check before I say yes.

[sanguinertia]

Okay, then! What if I needed help to grab some strawberry cake?? I'm not ninety years old! I'm seventeen.

[itsknighttime]

Oh.

[[That is an entirely different story.
It's hard to parse out how friendly people are here even if it's what they have to do to survive it still doesn't hit him.]]

Well shit yeah.
I'm not a shady guy so I'd say you're safe. I could go for helping a nice girl get an equally nice cake. Especially since we're red buddies.
I don't know the grading scale but I can forewarn you I don't hug people often. I'm not a huggisseur if you will.

[sanguinertia]

Oh! I can totally help you! I hug people ALL the time. Mostly my sister? Or my uncle. Or my friends!

[ She's...very friendly, in the cheerful protagonist sense. ]
