ladies of johto! (and also kanto!)
have you a void in your heart?
a void that you just can't seem to fill no matter what you do?
a void that maybe, just maybe, could be filled with with the help of a dashing young knight in shining armor?
well you're in luck!
it just so happens that there is one such dashing knight conveniently located in saffron city. (he even has his own flaming off-white steed! sooooooooo cool!)
not only that, but for reasons i cannot fathom, he has yet to find that ~special someone~.
like a lonely, individually-wrapped kraft cheese single that somehow wound up in the back of the fridge and lies waiting for the moment that it can experience the joy and togetherness that is being part of a delicious sandwich.
actually, scratch lonely. coolkids don't do lonely.
which is exactly what dave strider is: the coolest of cool.
though somehow he manages to be completely smoking hot at the same time. (true facts, even i find him to be almost irresistably attractive. hahaha jk dave, you know i actually don't.)
but in all seriousness, just look at this guy: acoolkidandhiscrow.png
...actually, wait this one is better.

yeeaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! B)


Oh, but allow us to assure you that cool is not all there is to this dashing knight.
And while his armour may gleam with the most incandescent of lights, he is not always smoking hot.
There is more to this cool kid that any number of you would surely find attractive.
After all, simply look at the charm he holds in the colder months.

And, similar to most knights, he is simply darling while he sleeps.

rose, don't you think both of those pictures kind of defeat the purpose of what we are trying to accomplish here?
please save the sibling rivalry stuff for AFTER we find dave a girlfriend.
also, i am pretty sure that when i shared that second one with you, my guidelines for its usage were "blackmail purposes". :|


Personally, I thought the point was attracting a girlfriend.
Not scaring them off with the idea that he is too cool for everyone.
And John, you have a fountain of blackmail.
I felt it wouldn't be harmful to delve into it just a little.
However, fine.
This next picture will be far more suitable, I'm sure.

(Please note, we are strictly speaking in terms of the one in shades. His friend is not up for discussion.)


yes, see rose?
that is a much nicer picture which also manages to capture dave's more fun loving side! (though that could just be because of the devilishly handsome young man in blue hehehehehe. only not really, jk again.)
but enough of these photographic shenanigans and back to the point!
ladies, if you think you have what it takes to date this fine specimen of manliness and all-around awesomeness, all you have to do is respond to this message!
though i should warn you, there is a very stringent screening process!
because i can't marry my best bro off to just ANYBODY, you know?
even if it is his birthday and he really needs a girlfriend. :P

oh! and one more thing: we are being completely serious about this.
so we would appreciate serious responses.
and jade, back us up on this would you?
if you're not too busy right now, that is.


((ooc: Responses may come from John, Rose, the birthday boy himself (Dave), or possibly Jade. Some of you might even be lucky enough to get some combination of them. Don't you feel special? Also, save for the second picture, all art was from the following tumblr artists: bananasandguavas, robopolis, kayotics, kerezteny.))

[[With the heat turned up and everything. They'll even have a blanket ready, just for you Dave.]]

[ It's a little less than five minutes before Dave's knocking at the door, shoulders hunched and telltale orange feathers poking out of his jacket. ]

[Unfortunately for Dave, it's not Rose who answers the door. Surely if she had answered the door, the greeting would have been much calmer. Instead, the birthday boy is forced to endure one of those curly party blowers right in the face, a paper Burger Kingler crown jammed onto his head and a crushing brohug (luckily he manages to miss Coolkid) from none other than John Egbert.]

[Can you tell he's just a little excited about this whole "celebrating each other's birthdays in person" thing? Just a little.]


Happy Birthday, Dave!

[[Rose isn't far behind though. She may not have a party blower or paper crown or crushing bro hug, but she does have a handful of confetti and glitter to sprinkle on the birthday boy.]]

Indeed. Happy Birthday.

[ Dave doesn't flinch, and doesn't try too hard to escape John, although he does twist away after the hug and unzip his jacket a little to make sure Coolkid is intact. He shakes his head under the rain of confetti and glitter, infecting the Torchic, too. ]

Yeah, yeah, thanks, guys. Now can we get inside before I get frostbite or something?

[IS JOHN'S BODY HEAT NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, DAVE? IS HIS HUG NOT INTENSE ENOUGH IN HEAT?]

Oh yes, we can. [He steps aside to let Dave in.] After you, you big weenie.

[[Rose also steps out of the way, but you're not getting away from Guile, Dave. Who is just rubbing up against your legs affectionately. Sorry.]]

Dave, surely the hotel outside the room is semi warm as well as it is inside, isn't it?

[ That's okay. He stoops to scoop Guile up on his way inside, cradling her in both arms. ]

When it's this fucking cold, there's only 'completely warm' and 'where did my balls go, oh wait, they retreated back up inside me, white flags waving like Frenchmen.' Seeing as how 'completely warm' requires at least two sleeping bags, a Torchic and a Ninetales, this qualifies as the latter.

[ Even as he speaks, he's side-eyeing the room for any sign of a sizeable pile of blankets. ]

[There might be a blanket somewhere around here, sure. But for now? For now how about Lopunny hugs? Because Casey feels like hugging you right now, Uncle Dave. She's not a fire type but...hey. She's fuzzy and warm and that counts for something.]

[John chuckles a little at that, closing the door once they're all inside again.]


Two sleeping bags and fire types? Man, how have you not melted yet?

[[Casey always does a great job at keeping Rose warm, so surely she'll do the same for you Dave! Guile, meanwhile, is all happy chirping and nuzzling his cheek.]]

I'm personally surprised there isn't a blanket thrown in there as well.

[ Dave shifts Guile against his shoulder and puts an obliging arm around Casey. It's hard not to be in a good mood, with a crew like this. ]

I'm a cold-blooded beast. I need heat lamps and sunshine to survive. Shit, someone should buy me a heat lamp....

It's a shame you didn't say something sooner! We could have gotten you that for your birthday instead. Oh well. But hey, I know what to get you for Christmas now!

Oh shoot, now I don't have anything to purchase for him for Christmas. [[She snaps her fingers before chuckling and gesturing to the living room.]]

Come, sit down, enjoy the pile of Pokemon just waiting to lavish you with love.
