That's fun. I imagine Terezi usually has to discover what something's 'Mind Scent' is - but if someone describes a scent to her, it's locked in.

I wonder - can she tell the difference between real scents and Mind Scents? For example, if she smells licorice later on, will she be able to tell if it's actual licorice, or just Dave's suit?

TG: later terezi nice knowing you [...] GC: YOU C4N'T D1TCH M3, W3V3 GOT 1MPORT4NT STUFF TO DO TOG3TH3R [...] GC: H3Y >:o GC: HOW DO YOU KNOW MY N4M3?

We already know that Dave's detached persona is a façade, but it's always nice to see him acknowledge that fact himself, however obliquely.

Dave liked Terezi, way back when. He's not just playing along for the hell of it - a small part of him is actually having fun.

Dave isn't sending comics to Terezi yet, and the crocodiles he's met were supposed to show up pretty soon after Descend. We've jumped back quite a bit on his personal timeline - long before the LOHACSE, at least.

Will we be following both Crocodile Dave and Stockbroker Dave, going forward, or will the narrative pick just one to focus on?

Or, since this is Homestuck, will we be adding additional Daves?

TG: yeah fine but i doubt that i TG: oh fuck there i am hiding behind that column

And, right on cue, here's (what I assume to be) Stockbroker Dave.

Also - just, for the record - this isn't a sign that Dave should trust Terezi. See, he'll have to give himself a thumbs up here, even if Terezi does turn out to be a problem, since failing to do so will doom the timeline.

Terezi, of course, knows this, and she's taking advantage of Crocodile Dave's inexperience with Paradox Space. Devious girl!

TG: ok so whats the plan [...] GC: 1SNT 1T OBV1OUS? GC: NOW TH4T W3 4R3 4 T34M D4V3 GC: YOU 4ND M3 GC: 1T 1S T1M3 TG: time TG: for GC: T1M3 TG: for [...] GC: 4 MOTH3R FUCK1NG D4NC3 P4RTY!!!!!!! >:O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's pretty much won me over, though.
