[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?
