[ It's undeniably weird coming back to this world after three months at home. Caspar's a bit disoriented, trying to remember what had been happening and what he was doing. Still, he remembers the way back to the house in Maurtia Falls, still clad in his Dancer outfit, the sounds of battle still almost ringing in his ears.
Caspar gets inside and a worry crosses his mind that if things have changed for him maybe things changed here. ]
[Kirk is indeed still around, and after a moment emerges from his basement (it's his now, sorry everyone), goggles in lieu of glasses around his eyes.]
Yeah, where have you--?
[And then he takes it all in. And he blinks. Nope, he's not seeing things.]
[ He bounds over to the entrance of the basement where Kirk is. ]
What, this?
[ He lifts an arm and with the other lifts a bit of fabric. The little decorations all along the waist jingle with his movements. ]
Oh yeah, I'm a Dancer now. The Professor said I'm the only one who can be one 'cause I won the White Heron Cup, and that uh, what was it? Something about how I run off to hit the first thing I see and I could learn something about supporting others in battle or whatever.
What is this world? He doesn't want to ask more specific questions because his mind is already in a dark enough place and--why does it feel like he can see the Caspar's heat signature more clearly? He also feels a bit.. better. In words he can't fully articulate.
...Do people not have dancers in battle in your world?
[ That's about as self-conscious as Caspar gets. He pulls at the fabric looping from his arm. ]
I mean, they're not exactly common in mine, but they're supposed to energize you, raise morale, that kinda thing. Still think I'd be more useful on the front lines, but I said I'd do it and I don't back down from a challenge!
Anyway! It's great to see you. I dunno how long it's been here but I've been back in my world for the past few months. I didn't think I'd be able to go back at all!

[Than flashing your junk for them. Please love yourself more, Caspar. Plsu, you were underage, right? He feels like he learned this recently.]

Like that!

I've never heard of any world having... "battle dancers."
[What the fuck does that even mean?]
I mean there's the USO but they aren't exactly fighting on the front lines, and I don't think Bob Hope ever approved of any exotic dancers.

Date: 2020-08-30 02:28 am (UTC)But I guess you still answered the question. [ He shrugs. ] They're not really common in my world either, so I guess it's pretty neat I get to be one.
[ Caspar's despair at being given a support role is clashing horribly with his unending enthusiasm for everything. ]

It is...uh... unique.
