[The feed cuts in at the Heimdall Welcome Hall, and a troll that may be familiar to several individuals appears on the screen.]

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.

[The feed is cut.]

(( Grey is Karkat, Red is Aradia.))

[You know... it was a lot like talking to Sollux. She had to fight to keep a straight face sometime.]

Yep, and we were bestest of buddies and we sat around Hel and had drinks and gabbed about all the bullshit people did.

...

heh. No, seriously, you were at least a little. You didn't piss most people off nearly as much as some trolls.

WELL, A LOT OF MY FRIENDS ARE PRETTY INCOMPETENT IN THE SOCIAL DEPARTMENT. I WON'T DENY THAT.

I CAN'T SAY I'M TOO THRILLED ABOUT EVERYONE BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY ME THOUGH. IT'S KIND OF CREEPY.

You'll get over it soon enough, Karkat. It could always be a lot worse. [Except it kind of was.] Not much I can do to end the creepy.

Anyway, name's Samantha.

OKAY. HEY I GUESS. LONG TIME NO SEE. LIKE LITERALLY EVER.

Heh. Good news? He who honks and makes a general murderous ass of himself isn't here to give you headaches? Or did you want him around?

I DON'T KNOW. SORT OF.

HE'S A PAIN IN THE ASS SURE, BUT IT'D BE KIND OF NICE.

WELL, I GUESS HE LUCKED OUT TOO? IN HIS OWN WAY. ISNT' STUCK HERE.

Well, ask yourself this. Would I know any of that about him unless...?

[...]

OH.

He kind of disappeared not long after you did the last time. Fef was here until not long ago too, but apparently she just got sent home after the fight.

THAT...THAT'S REALLY AWFUL.

SO IN THAT CASE, I GUESS IT'S GOOD HE'S NOT HERE.

AND FEFERI TOO? KNOW ABOUT ANY OTHER TROLLS THAT VANISHED?

Kanaya went poof just before you. We only talked a little. I looked back a bit, and there was some blind girl before I got here, but I never talked to her.

[Actually, they had, but Sam didn't know it. It had been anonymous.]

As far as I know, there's you, the grand poobah of whale hunting, Sollux the Ever Pissed, some other freak you're apparently talking to I haven't met yet, Tavros sweet and mild, Aradia queen of the dead, and Vriska the Queen of eh, I'm running out of material. I'm not that good at this. I think I got everyone though.

OK, GOT IT.

THAT'S ALMOST EVERYONE ACTUALLY.

Is it? Ok, good. Fewer names to remember. Just a heads up, if you haven't caught on. You're not going to get any real info from the gods.

NOT SURPRISING, BUT GOOD TO KNOW.

Since we're doing informational session time and everyone's playing "Let's catch up with Karkat and tell him all the crap that's going on," we'll play twenty questions. You ask away whatever comes to mind, and I'll answer or tell you to fuck off. How's that sound?

TEDIOUS.

BUT BETTER THAN NOTHING I GUESS.

HOW LONG WAS I HERE BEFORE?

Months. I can't be sure, but you were here long before me. I've been here a bit more than three months, so I'd guess you were here for about three or four. Or something.

You can check old post...

If you check old posts, I'm over that thing about wanting to kick Gamzee's ass. Let's just save ourselves that argument, k?

UH...OKAY.

[For now anyway.]

I'LL LOOK THEM OVER WHEN THEY WELCOME WAGON ISN'T OVERWHELMING.

No rush. Not like you need to see what your other you did today. So, next question?

I'M NOT READY TO BE MAD AT MYSELF TODAY.

WELL, MADDER. WHATEVER.

WHY DO WE EACH GET ASSIGNED TO A DIFFERENT HIVE? LIKE I GUESS WE'RE ALL GETTING CATEGORIZED, BUT WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICATIONS?

Your resident patron dick's looking for something about your personality. I'm not so hot on the colors, so what's your house? You're not Hel anymore, so apparently little-miss-obsessed-with-death didn't snap you up this time. She's got a thing for morbid assholes and people with ties to the dead.

OH. THAT'S...INTERESTING.

I'M AT HEIMDALL NOW I GUESS. WHAT'S THAT MEAN FOR ME BY THE WAY?

Justice and order obsessed dick. Yeah, I'm calling you a dick if you can hear me. He really is kind of a permanent stick up the ass. A lot of the hero types seem to end up there, self-sacrificing sorts, folks trying to protect society. Not sure about all of his traits. His house is big usually.

Freebie. They can hear everything we're saying on these bracelets if they want.

GOT IT. NEVER EVER TALK. EVER.

ALSO THAT'S INTERESTING TOO. I GUESS. DON'T REALLY SEE WHY I'D BE HERE BUT WHATEVER.

[Another question...]

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO TO KILL TIME HERE? HOPEFULLY NOT HAVE SHITTY 'RAP-OFFS' AND DRINK PERPETUALLY.

Some of us drink. I wouldn't say all the time unless it's Roxy. Romance and marriage seems to be popular around here. Love in the foxholes or something like that. Stupid questions about philosophy's also real common.

I spend what time I have when I'm not plotting how to humiliate Ahab again working on potions mostly. I have no idea what a rap-off is. It sounds horrible.
