WELP.

THIS SURE IS GREAT.

I LOVE BEING UPROOTED FROM ONE SHITTY SITUATION TO ANOTHER, MORE ASININE ONE. MOST DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE THING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. ASK ANYONE.

SO, WHAT? I GUESS I LIVE HERE NOW?? WHATEVER. I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SAYING HELLO TO EVERYBODY, BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.

[Karkat probably doesn't have time to actually say anything because there's suddenly a shout.] Karkat? Karkat! [The video feed is probably a blur of motion with lots of greys, blacks, and reds. There's a face that hasn't been around recently. Aradia has bounded over to Karkat and is basically invading all his personal space.]

When did you get here? Have you talked to Sollux or anyone else? A lot of our friends are here you know! You have to tell me what point of the timeline you're from.

[Aradia had lost her bracelet and is pretty much oblivious to what's been happening as of late.] I guess we got here at the same time! I mean I was here earlier but I lost my bracelet hehe.

ARADIA, STOP. I ONLY GOT LIKE HALF OF THAT--

HANG ON.

Time doesn't pass back home. And we all get pulled from different points in time, so I don't think you have to worry about things getting off track.

Sometimes, we even get sent back and brought back here with more knowledge from home. It's really odd!

[Look who's totally chill about this even though it's probably not really that chill. She is.] But a lot of our friends who've passed on are here, you know!

NO. I DIDN'T KNOW.

I MEAN YEAH, I CAN TELL JADE'S HERE. APPARENTLY SOLLUX IS TOO?

[He shrugs.]

WHO ELSE?

Eridan is here, along with all of Jade's friends! There are people from the session you're probably headed to that are here too!

Vriska and Tavros too! Not all of our friends are here, but it's nice to see them again. And this isn't even a dream bubble!

[cancerass]

YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF US ARE HERE, FOR SOME REASON.

DOESN'T THAT STRIKE YOU AS KIND OF WEIRD?

Well, I find a lot of the stuff that happens here weird, but there isn't a lot of information to answer those questions.

It's nice they're here though. [Don't worry, Karkat. Aradia is constantly wondering why all of this stuff keeps happening.] I mean, why constantly drag us back here without previous knowledge of our times before?

[SUPER ACTION BRACKETS]

[cancerass]

WELL, THAT'S WHAT THEY SEEM TO KEEP DOING.

BUT YEAH, GIVEN THAT I SEE YOUR POINT.

DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS STUPID.

I've been trying to figure it out, but it makes no sense to me at all! And I can't find a reason other than they just can't! Which is silly, because they're supposed to be gods.

But they're also very cagey gods who don't want to tell us anything either!
