I kind of love that Steven is who he ended up having this conversation with.... he's gotta talk to Tyler but I'm kinda /face in hands/ because I guarantee he won't stop reiterating that his power is superior to Tyler's
Honestly Dirk finds even that impressive considering how much damage (or good, or both) he KNOWS you can do controlling just one person, also like Tyler isn't some kind of bonkers hivemind controlling Tyler's thoughts so that's nice for him probably
As usual, Dirk is all about what he personally can use--and like okay technically I guess he can use anything because ~narrative control~ but. He's not so lowkey hoping he can take advantage of Team Rocket's cast to make some kind of dent in this reality/canon (he can't but let's call this 'coping')
The really funny part with Lydia is they've never spoken before so dirk has to hit her up like "hi, you've seen me in a meme where I eat shit but now I need you to take me seriously"
BUT, ALSO wrt the thread this is a WEIRD MOMENT because Dirk actually talked to Elaine (Jane's player) during the Fourth Wall, through the narrative, and obvs that's something he doesn't remember but just imagine for a moment, if he did,
Yeah.... VR's Dirk is actually RELATIVELY straightforward, for Dirk, because I have to make compromises if I want threads to ever go anywhere (and also sometimes I just don't have the extended lewd humour bits or Plato references on hand!) and I think that says a LOT
Oh geez I just realised Steven's suggestion implies the one thing that will make Dirk apeshit ha ha....... well at least they will be prevented from fully breaking that fourth wall :B
IT'S. JUST. His choices not being his/not having meaning and being controlled by anyone else.... I mean u kno, he has control issues, so it's inevitable the idea of someone else writing him would be unacceptable
distant laughing in chara
he did notbut also oh god if he ever learned Emporios deal tbh
