First beat

[toocoolforthis]

Well, I can't say I've ever been this late to school before.
Unfortunately, I can't claim to be awesome enough to have played hooky for half a year.
Maybe next year.
In the meantime, I'm back.
I'm sure you're all either completely ecstatic or completely disgusted, so please, contain your looks of horror and/or joy.
A simple "Sup, Dirk" will suffice.

[Dirk and everyone else will never fucking know how happy Dave is to see his second oldest bro back. Nobody.]

[Holy shit talk about a surprise. He'd known Dirk was planning on coming back soon, but with everything going on lately, he hasn't really had time to prepare much for it, nor did he have a specific date for it either. So it's safe to say he's really fucking unprepared for this. But despite that? He's happy. He's missed Dirk a whole fucking lot, so seeing that orange ink is like eye searing happiness.]

Dude, you should've let me know you'd be coming back today. I didn't have time to organize the castle-wide surprise party that I would've under normal circumstances.

Wait? You left? Huh.

[wwistful]

I will reserve my look of horror until I see you in class next, Mister Strider. I can only hope the rest of the students join me so as to make you feel welcomed.

Sup, Dirk.
I imagine your studies abroad have been fruitful then?
I'm partially jealous of the chance you've gotten. Please do not skimp on the details next time we speak in person. I must know everything you had done, Dirk. I'm at the edge of my seat with anticipation!

[patrioticspells]

Welcome back, Strider.

Glad you could make it before the year ends.

So one more for our dorm then. Cool.

[Nope, you don't even get a text greeting, Jake is just seeking you out and barreling toward you with little more that a drawn-out whoop that sounds suspiciously like your name, Dirk.]
