Adventures of an Amateur Ace Detective

ironicrobotic:

My only real association with April Fools is the fact that for whatever reason my Bro used to get super fucking quiet that day and he never explained why. Like, not normal Bro “Fuck off, I’m working” quiet, but something almost sad, I guess. I never really thought about it at the time because I figured it was just another one of his ironic things I was too young to grasp, but in retrospect it was a little weird.

Needless to say, there were no funny pranks, ever.

I cannot even begin to imagine April Fool’s Day without funny pranks!

Gosh, Dirk, I think this is the saddest story you have ever told about your Bro.

:(

I’m sorry, I would have mailed you something deceptively innocent and yet explosive, if I’d known.

I apologize for depriving everyone of my completely melodious voice today, but my throat is killing me.

Oh no! You keep staying in bed and now you have a sore throat. Dirk, you should really go to a doctor, I think you’re getting sick. :(

I know it probably looks that way, but I’m feeling fine, sore throat not withstanding. I’m definitely not sick, but I appreciate the concern, Jane.

Fine, but just you wait and see. You’re going to get the flu or something else gross and highly contagious with an attitude like that.

Don’t expect me to send you soup when that happens!

So I finished The Hunger Games on the bus ride to and from Santa Monica with Noiz - Which was fucking awesome, by the way.

Here are my thoughts.

Cutting this, even my totally accurate re-do of the cover, because I don’t want to spoil people. Don’t say I never did anything for you.

I haven’t read it, but I’m sure it will be much more… interesting with your edits and additions!

Though your body of work does suggest that in the end you will have dystopian totalitarianism conquering love, I wonder if your recent endeavors will change that.

Just imagine it: Dirk Strider, starry-eyed romantic.

No no no don’t worry at all. It’s cheering to see someone so like her in good spirits!

Well, I try! Not every day is this great, but nothing has blown up and my friends are acting pretty normal — for them.

Am I like her in other ways? That would be weird, but I guess I don’t know much about my family outside the Crockers.

She very much liked to bake and she played a mean druid in our dungeons and dragons games, and she noticed things not everyone else did. That was probably owing to her love of mysteries and such. You have a similar manner of speech as well!

Well, I do love baking and a good mystery!

Not to be narcissistic, but she sounds like she was a really excellent person. I’m not as interested in games as some of my friends, but I do enjoy them. I especially like the ones we can play together, though we’ve never played Dungeons and Dragons.

You look like a good friend of mine. Unfortunately shes no longer with us i am regretful to say.

Oh! I’m sorry! :( 

I didn’t mean to bring up something like that, I was just curious because you’re the first of two people to say I look like someone they knew.

Jane. That is a good name.

… Quite sorry i almost forgot to give you mine! Joel roland harley quite at your service.

Thank you! You’re very dashing, or at least your manners are.

Do you mind me asking who you think I look like?
