[Dave's face remains impassive behind his aviators. If Mom has ever had the pleasure of meeting Dirk Strider Sr.'s charge, she'll note that this handsome silver fox is pretty much him, all grown up and old enough to be your guardian.]

Whew, what an introduction. You improvise all that, or do you fall into interdimensional alternate reality whathaveyous often? Mind, not that I'd be surprised either way.

The name's Dave.

[The Strider kind of goes without saying.]

[It'd be nice if every time she encountered a Strider she didn't become immediately and inconcievably attracted to them, no matter what universe she's from. Apparently this is just some sort of Strider/Lalonde thing?

Either way, it ain't fair! ~~This is some Robert Downey Jr. Bullshit here, damnit.~~

She's noticeably surprised by his appearance, and she seems to just... stare in stunned silence there for a bit until she remembers that... he can actually see her. Welp, that sure made a first impression, didn't it.]

I-- pardon? Oh.

Oh.

[Shit that's not how she should have responded to that.]

Dave. I-- I'm sorry, I'm just-- I'm taking in a lot right now, please excuse me.

Yes, um. Well. No, actually. This doesn't happen much... just a lot in what I think has been the last twenty four hours.

[She did spend a lot of that journey drinking, so some of it is actually a bit hazy.]

[Whoa there little missy hold your miniature horses, this here Strider's a kept man. Besides that, you're basically his alternate universe daughter, and House 12 may have a lot of snarky horseshit and, well, Dave shenanigans, but it ain't no soap opera.

~~This totally is some RDJ bullshit though. Right down to acting like a five-year-old in public, tbh.~~

A blond eyebrow arches over his shades when she just stares at him for a minute, and he patiently waits for her to compose herself. When she's done rambling, he finally cracks a bigger smile.]

You're fine. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. It's been a while since we had a Lalonde around here aside from Rosie.

Long and the short is, you've fallen ass over teakettle into the rabbit hole that is Ruby City, my dear Alice, a wretched hive of assholes and monsters.
We got an open guest room with your name on it at Casa Stri-Lal, if you're interested.

[That's cool, it's usually a fleeting thing anyway. On most occasions, as soon as her Strider opens his mouth, she finds herself wishing she could just superglue it closed. However it does occur to her that this is still Dave, Dirk's Dave, but not his Dirk, her Dirk--

Screw it, she's not drunk enough for this.]

That would be great, thank you. Um-- I mean, so long as I'm not imposing? And I warn you you may need an extra room. Looks like I didn't come alone. [She knows he's probably got an idea of who she's talking about.]

Would you mind giving me a better explanation of what's going on here? Once I'm there, of course. The pamphlets helped, but I don't think I'm okay with staying this deep in the dark about our current predicament, you know?

[Funny, because Rosie would probably say the same thing about her Strider.

They haven't had booze in House 12 since Bro went on a bender for nigh on the entire month of November. Well, not hard liquor anyway.]

It's not a problem, little lady. I said it had your name on it. We've got a genuine McMansion up in here, enough rooms for the whole Stri-Lal clan plus any bespectacled and/or bucktoothed, behatted, or whatever the fuck friends who come along, all built with patented Strider elbow grease, stays strong to last long.

How about I come show you the way to the house? It's clear across town from the station, and shit gets kind of nutso at night.
