[ dipper hands onto his hand a bit awkwardly, though he's is grateful for the extra measure of balance while he moves towards the ground. the last thing he needs is to fall now. even if he's no longer at risk for neck-breaking, he could still face-plant into the ground and get a nice bloody nose going.

but then they're close enough that dipper can hop off the guy's shoulders and land on the ground. ground! what a glorious place to be. ]

Hey! I actually made it. Kind of...wasn't expecting that to go so smoothly. [ he is genuinely surprised. ]

[unluckless]

Neither was I, to be honest. [Komaeda admits with a smile that is probably far too cheerful for what he's saying.] With my luck, I was pretty certain at least one of us would wind up with a broken bone.

[At a minimum. But here they are. Dipper's got his feet on solid ground.

Komaeda is actually pretty impressed.] But I guess it was good luck this time. Are you all right then?

[cryptologic]

[ well that's comforting. dipper's glad he mentioned that after he got his feet on the ground again. ]

Maybe it was karma making up for the whole tree thing. [ seriously, that was the worst luck ever. ] All things considered? Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

[unluckless]

[Karma is it? Komaeda blinks at the phrasing of that.] Does that happen to you too? Does your bad luck offset your good luck?

[He really hopes not. For this kid's sake. Komaeda wouldn't wish his 'talent' of luck on anyone, never mind some kid.]

I'm glad you're all right though.

[cryptologic]

...Actually, my bad luck seems to kind of...roll into other bad luck. Like a big bad luck streak.

[ and with how his day had started out? he's pretty genuinely surprised he didn't break his neck falling out of that tree. ]

Uh - thanks. I'm pretty glad myself. I'm Dipper, by the way.

[unluckless]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[He says quite solemnly. He really is. Luck can be such a difficult thing, good or bad.]

Komaeda. [He gives a polite bow.] Komaeda Nagito. It's good to meet you

[cryptologic]

[ he truly appreciates the commiseration, bro. ]

Good to meet you, too. I mean, seriously. I'd still be stuck in that tree if you hadn't come along.

[unluckless]

I'm just glad that even someone as useless as I am could turn out to be helpful after all.

[That's a successful day for Komaeda, and he'll happily take that.] But now that you're out of the tree, do you know where you're going?

[cryptologic]

Uhh... [ he glances around, half-expecting to see mabel appear out of nowhere, but seeing as how she doesn't... ]

My sister's apartment, I guess. But don't ask me where that is.

[unluckless]

I can take you towards the residential district anyway.

[That'll get him closer, right? So that's almost helpful. Right?] Or what's left of it anyway.

[cryptologic]

Yeah, that wor - wait, what? 'What's left of it'?

[ that's mildly alarming. ]

[unluckless]

That's right! There was something of a flood recently. A lot of the infrastructure was damaged pretty badly. But people have been rebuilding, so it's getting better.

[See? It's totally like a bright side.]

[cryptologic]

Wow. Must have been some flood.

[ seems like it would take something more like a hurricane to do that much damage. ]

[unluckless]

Mm! It nearly wiped us all out!

[Way too blithe in tone and expression as he chatters on about this.] But the weather's been better since then anyway. For now.

[cryptologic]

[ yeah, that sounds way more serious than he's making it out to be. ]

That's a little ominous. Is extreme weather kind of a normal thing around here?

[unluckless]

The abnormal is the normal thing around here.

[CERES screws up so much that any glitch is totally worth it at this point in time.] Pretty much anything that can go wrong does eventually. They call them glitches, usually.

[cryptologic]

[ FAIR ENOUGH. dipper's gotten pretty accustomed to abnormal anyway, so that's par for the course for him. ]

Is this whole world made out of code, then? Not just us? ...You know, assuming that story is even true.

[unluckless]

It's difficult to say. It doesn't seem to be, but I'm not convinced it isn't all just another virtual reality anyway. Maybe we'll figure it out for sure sometime.

[Komaeda may have a few paranoid conspiracy theories about this all given everything he's gone through.]

[cryptologic]

[ oh boy oh boy, paranoid conspiracy theories are dipper's favorite. ]

It's something I'm going to start investigating, in any case.

[unluckless]

[Investigating is it? Komaeda can't help a smile at that.]

I think that's probably a smart idea. It's definitely not wise to take what CERES has to say at face value. But investigating can be a little dangerous at times too.

[cryptologic]

[ dipper had some experience dealing with danger, but... ]

What kind of danger? CERES doesn't like us on their trail, or something?
