ok the point is to make my stomach feel better, not puke up oatmeal because of sweaty horse troll imagery.
yes that is exactly it. you have caught me. i know nothing about rap. also because i am also your favorite dude in all universes, that's why. what i said still applies though.
i think that will require me getting used to hearing your voice first, so you have a month or two.
anyway. you and rose are definitely similar, but i am not sure about all of the similarities between me and jade and me and jake and me and jane from what jake told me? i can kind of see it but it is probably one of those things you do not notice until someone else points it out. i don't know. i'm still getting to know them. you and rose are easier to figure out with that stuff.
hey you cant use my own words against me also what you said does not apply i am excellent at rap you just have zero taste as proven by the fact you like failure to launch which come the fuck on john why
ill treasure fondly the time in which you do not tell me to shut the fuck up
you and jade are both really optimistic youre genuinely good people who draw lines in the sand about what you are or arent willing to do mind control aside and youre both loyal and determined and kind of jackasses sometimes but not in a bad way i got no fucking clue how youre like the other people since i only met your mom when she was mindcontrolled and therefore i cant speak to what she was like really and the one interaction i had with the jake dude he was just punching one of the trolls because i think he grossly misunderstood what the fuck was going on from my vague understanding of what the fuck was going on you guys look alike i guess?
tbh i think those two seem a bit less social than all of us i didnt notice them using doing the telepathic thing at like all and dirks initial reaction to housing was to go wander off and stay in a fucking tree or something not interacting with people is not a thing that is like you at all or like not being around the group youre a people person
i take back pretty much everything i said about you being my favorite dude in the universe.
also i can, too. have you ever even watched failure to launch? i think you think it's terrible just because i like it.
i tell you to shut the fuck up online sometimes, does that not count?
oh.
[And again it's another point in which John's like. Wow Dave, that sure is a lot.]
i guess all of that makes sense. you and roxy are both very easy to talk to and nice and rose and dirk say a lot of words that sometimes don't always make sense.
there are a lot of similarities between you and roxy, actually.
why did jake punch a troll…which one? also i know, i know. i still do not know how i missed noticing that.
jake also told me he tied his stuff up in a tree because he was not sure about claiming a hut. what the fuck happened in that session that they felt trees were smarter? but yeah i want to interact with people? it has been really nice being able to meet everyone and get to know them after being on the ship with no new people for so long. isn't it the same for you and rose?
dude i never hate a movie without watching it first that would be dumb if im gonna dislike something im gonna dislike it for reasons though i admit all your armageddon movies run together after a while
meenah you know the punk fish princess one? i think he punched her b/c her post scratch self is the condesce it interrupted serket storytime so like w/e
i have no idea what the fuck happened really i know they had a barren session so i have to assume a whole lot of nothing until we showed up? thats what a barren session is they shouldnt really have had quests or any real monsters to get experience from or anything but honestly i dont think it was something that happened that would make it bros first option to fuck off away from the crowd he was always a very private person and im more surprised he decided to snag a hut after all
the commotion is kinda nice yeah esp since theres literally no one talking to me about quadrants do you know how much ive heard about quadrants in the past three years john a lot of much is how much
i still think that is because you aren't paying as close attention to my armageddon movies as you could be but we can fix that. i told jake if we ever found a way to stream movies or anything i would show him a few. maybe we'll bring rose and dirk, too, and make it a whole thing or something.
oh. yeah. she threw a trident at me and roxy. why do all serkets like to talk so much? her post scratch self is what now. i mean i guess it doesn't matter right now.
so that means what, they did not have to fight imps and head through their rings and stuff like we did? then what was the point of their game? if jake was raised like jade maybe he just is not used to people either. shrug.
yeah, funny how that happens on a meteor filled with trolls. i still am not sure i understand quadrants but i do not think i want to know either. there are a lot of people here though! like more than i think any of us have dealt with in years? so that's a little weird. and none of them will talk about alien romance probably.
i watch them what more do you want from me also apparently dirks shades have like computer files on them? i know he has music but you know ill watch whatever with you dude even godawful adam sandler flicks though i ask you take pity on me at least sometimes
rude af i think its b/c theyre light players supposedly rose chats a lot too but at least i fucking care what she says you know half the time i tune out the spider trolls
they like failed to prototype anything so their imps never got any upgrades so they had nothing interesting to fight etc their game stalled out but since we didnt have the battlefield we needed or whatever we needed their session blah blah blah rose can give you the lecture if you ever really want it but i suggest coffee before you even attempt to listen in because she says a lot of things that make you want coffee
ok if anyone talks to me about alien romance im jumping off the island though ive had to actually watch some of their romcoms and let me tell you a thing theyre even more mindnumbingly horrible than our romcoms
yes. that is exactly it. my love for you is the size of a comet, which is the size of jupiter.
[He's missed their useless stupid banter.]
i guess that is a sacrifice for you, thank you for your service or w/e. and yeah he told me his shades are a computer. he built it himself? he was trying to charge them last night or something. if we find movies we can do a real movie night instead of just streaming stuff at stupid hours in the morning. do you think telepathy could stream movies? like if we remember them or whatever.
vriska has a lot to say but you can learn to tune her out, too, after a while. i cannot say much for the other serket that exists? but rose is chatty so maybe yeah it is a light player thing.
roxy said they played in their session for like half a year with a ton of skeletons? and dirk told me some stuff about the earth he and roxy are from. i don't know if i want to think about the game right this second, but i also did not know you liked coffee?
i am almost afraid to ask. and also if you jump off the island you would get slingshotted back, remember? we saw how that goes. why did you have to watch--oh. karkat?
hey you remembered to size the comet for me this time you do care
yeah i heard the same thing re the shades bros shades didnt do that to my knowledge although maybe they did and he was secretly watching anime all the time you never know also a real movie night would be pretty cool as a group itd be fun but also just together sometime maybe for a change of pace beyond streaming stuff at stupid hours in the morning as stated you and rose and i can have a slumber party also maybe they could but our recall would have to be pretty good
i spoke to the other serket more tbh or well was spoken to?
its a love hate relationship we had a coffee machine and no aj what was i supposed to do john i mean we also had booze but i didnt have an interest
ok then i will jump off a high point on the island onto ground or something else dramatic and yeah karkat my options for hangouts got pretty limited when rose started dating kanaya like the mayor was always available but the clown troll was you know living in the vents and being a creepy motherfucker or whatever and terezi was hatedating him and mostly drunk on soda? which i guess trolls get drunk on so everyone else was busy so after like two years we started hanging out together periodically i never got to pick what we watched even once
i still cannot believe you cared more about sizing the thing than IF I WAS GOING TO LIVE.
do we need to have the "i am pretty sure your bro was that lame" talk again because that is not helping at all. not that all anime is bad but come on. i don't think that's how dirk's shades work but who knows. a group movie night with new friends would be awesome if we could pull it off but just you and rose is good, too. about that...i have an idea i want to try but we can talk to rose about it, too, since it probably impacts her the most.
you did not miss much. i'm still not sure about all of it.
was there really nothing else? and does that mean we have to start combining shittily drawn coffee and cups for you?
rose and i will be on standby, i guess. that. is really weird. but that makes sense. my options were usually between nannasprite, a stupid cat princess, some chess people and the consorts...and jade when she was not hanging out with bird you. sometimes bird you hung out.
you were obviously gonna live what would the point in a universe without you be anyway what the fuck was i gonna do i wasnt your server player
man come on hes dead now do we really have to diss my dead bro lame or not he saved my ass on more than one occasion also what idea that sentence worries me automatically
ill assume your crush didnt survive a day then
i mean i could also have formed a faygo addiction but who the fuck would wanna and maybe
yeah i heard bird me was a heartbreaker or w/e so i guess both rose and jade dated people?? granted i dated someone briefly but that didnt go so hot and also it was maybe a terrible idea
probably existing, but i wouldn't know if i was not around in that one. but ok, good point i guess.
i don't know. dave sprite mocked my dead dad.
[Oh. Shit, wait.]
but that is not the same thing so ok, fine. i am grateful your bro at least kept you alive long enough to get here, is that better? we'll talk about it at breakfast.
and let's not talk about that right now either? love sucks, and i think i do not know entirely how i feel about vriska but it is not that good. i do not really like her very much after really meeting her.
faygo sounds gross. bird you was kind of a feathery asshole, yes. it's good to have the real you back. so really what we can agree with is that dating is not great for anyone not-rose.
oh what the fuck i wouldnt do that and yeah ok we can talk then
thats fair forget i ever brought her up
faygo is super gross and i dont recommend it so anyway my vice was coffee and actually i do feel like i need a cup? but it isnt like im sleepy without it and yeah we can agree that and also that polyamory is perhaps best left to aliens and rose who seems into quadrants
i know you wouldn't. like i said, it is nice to have the real you back. it will be a good idea and i think you and rose might like it!
we can talk about it later, but yes. there is a lot that i should fill you in on but later. way later. beyond breakfast and birthday stuff later.
i bet we could enchant an endless coffee machine somehow that we can keep in one of our huts, but then we would have to get coffee beans and stuff. i do not think i've ever had coffee, but dad used to drink it. it can't be that hard. ...did rose get in a quadrant a different quadrant and no one told me. please tell me it is only kanaya.
he was slash is real he just belonged to another john who died and another jade too i kind of get it even if it feels wrong im not sure he and i spent the last three years thinking the same thoughts because the divergence was losing everything and commiting to saving it for a timeline not his
alright dude
man thatd be great though we can get terrible coffee mugs and drink it in the mornings while rose rolls her eyes or not drink it after the gross cold film appears but
i think she messed around in clubs a bit but tbh i cant be sure kanaya is pretty great though
i know. sometimes it's still confusing to think about our alternate selves and how much they differ and stuff. jade and i kind of argued about dave sprite and how he was different than you, but i guess i still do not really get how that guy thinks. but that sort of sounds sad.
[The irony of it is that he doesn't even realize that the same will be said for him later.]
...the dead alternate me and vriska dated for a while. she told me. so i guess they are different.
rose rolls her eyes at us no matter what i think so actually that sounds like a thing that should happen anyway. we can do breakfast together every morning with shitty coffee and terrible mugs and it will be great. let's ask her how to enchant a coffee machine this morning.
i don't even really know what that means, dave. but kanaya and i have only talked a few times and i think she was disappointed i was dumber than rose.
it is but its sad a thousand million times over throughout the course of our history there are a lot of dead daves
[ he's one o them, now. ]
theyre who we could have been versions of us who did one thing differently and that cascaded into a million little differences saying i wouldnt do something is true of this me right now there are things i would never say or do to any of you but those things might not be sacrosanct to a me who lived through very different things and i understand how that would be and why
sounds like the perfect start to a day im in
im not explaining quadrants to you theyre stupid but haha yeah she has this really dry sense of humor and shes very smart and kind of calm? like i dont think shes always calm but shes very self possessed and she cares about people she cares about rose a lot which as another person who cares about rose a lot i have always found to be an endearing quality even if i dont talk to her a whole hell of a lot
[That's all he says because he's still not sure he wants to entertain the notion of dead Daves, especially not this one. It's been one day. Dave's alive here. So is Rose. So is Dirk and so is Jake and so is he. Things can be fixed.
(But if they can't? What then...)]
all a part of being a time player, i guess? i think maybe that's silly to say. that's like saying i understand the wind and can read all deep meanings in it just because of my aspect, which is stupid. but i think i understand. daves and johns and roses and jades that interact with people differently. is it bad to still have a preference though?
i don't think bird you would agree to coffee and breakfast, for example. we'll bug rose later and figure something out.
god please don't. keep that to yourself. somehow that seems very rose-ish. i guess you got to know her better on the meteor though, so that's cool. i wonder if any of them will ever show up here, too.
time players have to think a certain way that breath players probably dont bromodachi it isnt a bad thing to not think like that and i dont think its bad to have a preference im preinclined to like any iteration of john egbert but youre the iteration who shares all those memories with me in the specific way they played out out of every john egbert in the multiverse youre the one who is mine insofar as we are from the same timeline and share the same shit
his loss and yeah that works
ok but if vantas shows up im not saving you from his romance dissertations and yeah i kinda did for a given value of get to know like for the most part i hung out with the mayor pyrope pre clown fiasco vantas around the last year but we had some times she stuck around to listen to me rap off against meenah once that was p chill
it's always been that way, hasn't it. thinking a certain way that the rest of us don't. i mean obviously i am fine with different versions of you guys because you are all still my friends but yeah, sometimes it is a little weird to think about you not being the you i have known since we were kids and knowing where the timelines stop syncing up. you and rose are my versions and those are the versions i was ready to see after three years.
cool. then it is settled.
i think i can handle karkat. he doesn't seem that bad when he's not trying to talk about romance and i can distract him just fine. i know. the mayor is your true bff. i saw terezi right before we got here, actually.
[ he knows, too, that john's going to get different versions by the end of things. ]
youre my favorite version of you too so its ok to be biased a little i think in favor of the people you spent so much time caring about and growing up with if you asked rose shed have the same answer i bet
hes a pretty cool dude when he like chills the fuck out a little and when he is not picking the movies you have to watch even though he insists on doing things like putting a dude on speaker crab which is just offensive tbh
oh yeah how was she i think you mentioned her briefly but
[He'll get there someday. Today isn't that day. Today is a day he wakes up thinking about how grateful he is to spend a second day with his friends in person. This is fine.]
yeah. and jade would probably have the same answer, but i guess she was fine with bird you and his dumb ghost butt. but that is just how things have always been.
i can't wait to meet him and actually get to talk to him when we get back. i did not get to really see him long because of. you know. grimbark jade and everything. is it offensive because it's speaker or because it is a crab?
um. it's sort of a long story but she was bleeding a lot. she is the one who told me what happened. so we are working together now, kind of.
[ dave basically suggested to someone else that their first ever fight would occur the day john figured it out, so HE WILL WAIT and put it off 5ever?? ]
mostly it is offensive because i am then a disembodied head so far as anyone can tell and also he only does it when he wants me to like participate in conversations with other people which are usually awkward?
yeah that figures i saw part of her battle but i guess she lost the upper hand then but if you have a seer directing you youll be fine
more like a disembodied crab which is actually funnier. weren't you all on the same meteor though, weren't they all the same people? what even was the point of that?
i am not entirely sure what happened to her after i left, but i hope you are right. it's really the only way i can fix everything. with terezi's mind powers and me talking to typheus to figure out my zappy thing. so. the timing here is sort of inconvenient? but if qri needs our help then i guess we will help, right?
dude we are talking about the guy who pulled you and i out of a busy day to like draw us shipping charts what point did there need to be were friends now and all but i dont pretend that i understand the inner workings of his mind
i wouldnt worry about the timing too much dude if were here its where we were going to end up and what happens next was supposed to happen or its not worth worrying over
trolls just have their own thing. also yes i remember the shipping conversation and that was stupid. i think rose probably thought it was stupid too but it was hard to tell when she was all grimdark.
i know. you're the time dude, so i trust you about timing. and we just have to wait for jade and everything will be awesome and the way things should be. are you coming back soon?

yes that is exactly it. you have caught me. i know nothing about rap.
also because i am also your favorite dude in all universes, that's why.
what i said still applies though.
i think that will require me getting used to hearing your voice first, so you have a month or two.

i don't know. i'm still getting to know them.
you and rose are easier to figure out with that stuff.
no subject
hey you cant use my own words against me
also what you said does not apply
i am excellent at rap
you just have zero taste
as proven by the fact you like failure to launch
which come the fuck on john why
ill treasure fondly the time in which you do not tell me to shut the fuck up
you and jade are both really optimistic
youre genuinely good people who draw lines in the sand about what you are or arent willing to do
mind control aside
and youre both loyal and determined and kind of jackasses sometimes but not in a bad way
i got no fucking clue how youre like the other people
since i only met your mom when she was mindcontrolled and therefore i cant speak to what she was like really
and the one interaction i had with the jake dude he was just punching one of the trolls because i think he grossly misunderstood what the fuck was going on
from my vague understanding of what the fuck was going on
you guys look alike i guess?
tbh i think those two seem a bit less social than all of us
i didnt notice them using doing the telepathic thing at like all
and dirks initial reaction to housing was to go wander off and stay in a fucking tree or something
not interacting with people is not a thing that is like you at all
or like not being around the group
youre a people person
no subject
also i can, too.
have you ever even watched failure to launch? i think you think it's terrible just because i like it.
i tell you to shut the fuck up online sometimes, does that not count?
oh.
[And again it's another point in which John's like. Wow Dave, that sure is a lot.]
i guess all of that makes sense. you and roxy are both very easy to talk to and nice and rose and dirk say a lot of words that sometimes don't always make sense.
there are a lot of similarities between you and roxy, actually.

isn't it the same for you and rose?
no subject
dude i never hate a movie without watching it first
that would be dumb
if im gonna dislike something im gonna dislike it for reasons
though i admit all your armageddon movies run together after a while
meenah
you know the punk fish princess one?
i think he punched her b/c her post scratch self is the condesce
it interrupted serket storytime so like
w/e
i have no idea what the fuck happened really
i know they had a barren session so i have to assume a whole lot of nothing until we showed up?
thats what a barren session is
they shouldnt really have had quests or any real monsters to get experience from or anything
but honestly i dont think it was something that happened that would make it bros first option
to fuck off away from the crowd
he was always a very private person and im more surprised he decided to snag a hut after all
the commotion is kinda nice yeah
esp since theres literally no one talking to me about quadrants
do you know how much ive heard about quadrants in the past three years john
a lot of much is how much
no subject
i still think that is because you aren't paying as close attention to my armageddon movies as you could be but we can fix that. i told jake if we ever found a way to stream movies or anything i would show him a few. maybe we'll bring rose and dirk, too, and make it a whole thing or something.

even godawful adam sandler flicks though i ask you take pity on me at least sometimes
rude af
i think its b/c theyre light players supposedly

half the time i tune out the spider trolls
they like failed to prototype anything

i spoke to the other serket more tbh
or well
was spoken to?
its a love hate relationship
we had a coffee machine and no aj
what was i supposed to do john
i mean we also had booze but i didnt have an interest
ok then i will jump off a high point on the island onto ground
or something else dramatic
and yeah karkat
my options for hangouts got pretty limited when rose started dating kanaya
like the mayor was always available
but the clown troll was you know
living in the vents and being a creepy motherfucker or whatever
and terezi was hatedating him and mostly drunk on soda?
which
i guess trolls get drunk on
so everyone else was busy so after like two years we started hanging out together periodically
i never got to pick what we watched even once

do we need to have the "i am pretty sure your bro was that lame" talk again because that is not helping at all.
not that all anime is bad but come on. i don't think that's how dirk's shades work but who knows.

so really what we can agree with is that dating is not great for anyone not-rose.

what the fuck
i wouldnt do that
and yeah ok we can talk then
thats fair
forget i ever brought her up
faygo is super gross and i dont recommend it
so anyway my vice was coffee

i do feel like i need a cup?

who died
and another jade too
i kind of get it even if it feels wrong
im not sure he and i spent the last three years thinking the same thoughts
because the divergence was losing everything

alright dude
man thatd be great though
we can get terrible coffee mugs and drink it in the mornings
while rose rolls her eyes
or not drink it after the gross cold film appears but
i think she messed around in clubs a bit but tbh
i cant be sure
kanaya is pretty great though
no subject
[The irony of it is that he doesn't even realize that the same will be said for him later.]
...the dead alternate me and vriska dated for a while. she told me.
so i guess they are different.
rose rolls her eyes at us no matter what i think so actually that sounds like a thing that should happen anyway. we can do breakfast together every morning with shitty coffee and terrible mugs and it will be great. let's ask her how to enchant a coffee machine this morning.
i don't even really know what that means, dave.
but kanaya and i have only talked a few times and i think she was disappointed i was dumber than rose.
no subject
but its sad a thousand million times over throughout the course of our history
there are a lot of dead daves
[ he's one o them, now. ]
theyre who we could have been
versions of us who did one thing differently and that cascaded into a million little differences
saying i wouldnt do something is true of this me right now
there are things i would never say or do to any of you
but those things might not be sacrosanct to a me who lived through very different things
and i understand how that would be
and why
sounds like the perfect start to a day
im in
im not explaining quadrants to you theyre stupid
but haha yeah
she has this really dry sense of humor
and shes very smart and kind of calm?
like i dont think shes always calm but
shes very self possessed and she cares about people
she cares about rose a lot
which
as another person who cares about rose a lot
i have always found to be an endearing quality
even if i dont talk to her a whole hell of a lot

[That's all he says because he's still not sure he wants to entertain the notion of dead Daves, especially not this one. It's been one day. Dave's alive here. So is Rose. So is Dirk and so is Jake and so is he. Things can be fixed.
(But if they can't? What then...)]
all a part of being a time player, i guess? i think maybe that's silly to say. that's like saying i understand the wind and can read all deep meanings in it just because of my aspect, which is stupid.
but i think i understand. daves and johns and roses and jades that interact with people differently.
is it bad to still have a preference though?
i don't think bird you would agree to coffee and breakfast, for example. we'll bug rose later and figure something out.
god please don't. keep that to yourself.
somehow that seems very rose-ish.
i guess you got to know her better on the meteor though, so that's cool.
i wonder if any of them will ever show up here, too.
no subject
it isnt a bad thing to not think like that
and i dont think its bad to have a preference
im preinclined to like any iteration of john egbert but
youre the iteration who shares all those memories with me
in the specific way they played out
out of every john egbert in the multiverse youre the one who is mine
insofar as we are from the same timeline
and share the same shit
his loss
and yeah that works
ok but if vantas shows up im not saving you from his romance dissertations
and yeah i kinda did for a given value of get to know
like for the most part i hung out with the mayor
pyrope pre clown fiasco
vantas around the last year
but we had some times
she stuck around to listen to me rap off against meenah once that was p chill
no subject
thinking a certain way that the rest of us don't.
i mean obviously i am fine with different versions of you guys because you are all still my friends but yeah, sometimes it is a little weird to think about you not being the you i have known since we were kids and knowing where the timelines stop syncing up.
you and rose are my versions and those are the versions i was ready to see after three years.
cool. then it is settled.
i think i can handle karkat. he doesn't seem that bad when he's not trying to talk about romance and i can distract him just fine.
i know. the mayor is your true bff.
i saw terezi right before we got here, actually.
no subject
[ he knows, too, that john's going to get different versions by the end of things. ]
youre my favorite version of you too
so its ok to be biased a little i think
in favor of the people you spent so much time caring about and growing up with
if you asked rose shed have the same answer i bet
hes a pretty cool dude
when he like
chills the fuck out a little
and when he is not picking the movies you have to watch
even though he insists on doing things like putting a dude on speaker crab
which is just offensive tbh
oh yeah
how was she
i think you mentioned her briefly but
no subject
yeah. and jade would probably have the same answer, but i guess she was fine with bird you and his dumb ghost butt. but that is just how things have always been.
i can't wait to meet him and actually get to talk to him when we get back. i did not get to really see him long because of. you know. grimbark jade and everything.
is it offensive because it's speaker or because it is a crab?
um. it's sort of a long story but she was bleeding a lot.
she is the one who told me what happened.
so we are working together now, kind of.
no subject
mostly it is offensive because i am then a disembodied head so far as anyone can tell
and also
he only does it when he wants me to like participate in conversations with other people
which are usually awkward?
yeah that figures i saw part of her battle but i guess she lost the upper hand then
but if you have a seer directing you
youll be fine
no subject
more like a disembodied crab which is actually funnier.
weren't you all on the same meteor though, weren't they all the same people? what even was the point of that?
i am not entirely sure what happened to her after i left, but i hope you are right.
it's really the only way i can fix everything. with terezi's mind powers and me talking to typheus to figure out my zappy thing.
so. the timing here is sort of inconvenient? but if qri needs our help then i guess we will help, right?
no subject
to like draw us shipping charts
what point did there need to be
were friends now and all but i dont pretend that i understand the inner workings of his mind
i wouldnt worry about the timing too much dude
if were here its where we were going to end up
and what happens next was supposed to happen
or its not worth worrying over
no subject
also yes i remember the shipping conversation and that was stupid.
i think rose probably thought it was stupid too but it was hard to tell when she was all grimdark.
i know. you're the time dude, so i trust you about timing.
and we just have to wait for jade and everything will be awesome and the way things should be.
are you coming back soon?
