[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.))

[Yep, someone had no memory of dream bubbles, and therefore did not know that they were dead. They just remembered being shot in the leg and choked with a bow garrote. He kind of knew he was dead, but he didn't really want to admit it.]

D --> Actually
D --> I could use a towel
D --> I was perspiring earlier
D --> I may draw several

YOU DO THAT.
PRETTY WEIRD TRADE-OFF THOUGH. I WONDER WHY THAT IS.

D --> If what the faceless peasant said is true
D --> I have this power from Freyr
D --> Who is dead
D --> I was chosen for the purity of my artistic gifts
D --> And the glories of my most pristine and perfect masterpiece
D --> And my appreciation of the most beautiful and gorgeous of artworks from ancient Alternian culture

[Yes. He was chosen for his fascination with muscle builder posters and his creating a creepy Aradia body masterpiece.]

WOW.
YEP.
THESE SURE ARE COMFORTING QUALIFICATIONS FOR GODS TO CHOOSE FOLLOWERS.
TOTALLY.

D --> Absolutely a testimony to the taste and artistic comprehension of this Freyr
D --> It is truly a shame that he is dead
D --> I would speak with him about the glories of ancient Alternian artwork for days

SOUNDS LIKE YOU TWO REALLY DO HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.

[In his mind.]

D --> Indeed
D --> I am honored to have so much in common with a god this brave
D --> He apparently killed himself to fight the enemy
D --> Quite impressive resolve
D --> Who are you tied to

HEIMDALL, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
APPARENTLY I USED TO LIVE IN THIS PLACE CALLED HEL? NOT THAT I REMEMBER ANYTHING PAST ME HAS DONE.

D --> This conversation reminds me of something
D --> I believe it would be wise
D --> To maintain the rules of that Jade human
D --> No more memos

NO MORE MEMOS?
RULES?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

D --> Your open discussions and announcements
D --> I think conversations with our past selves would prove fruitless here
D --> They tended to devolve into filthy and inappropriate topics anyway

OH YEAH. THAT.
DON'T WORRY.
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO MYSELF IN A WHILE.
ANYWAY WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT RIGHT NOW?

D --> In truth
D --> I am unsure there ever was a point
D --> Other than a self-fulfilling prophecy
D --> As the lowbl00d Sollu%% might babble about

WELL, Y'KNOW.
I GUESS IN THE END THEY WERE GOOD FOR IDIOTS TO VENT THEIR EMOTIONAL FRUSTRATIONS ON.
OF COURSE THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY WERE FOR. LIKE AT ALL.
BUT WHATEVER. THE POINT IS WE'RE NOT DOING MEMOS. I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW WE COULD DO THEM ON THIS NETWORK ANYWAY.

D --> G00d
D --> Oh yes
D --> In case I forget
D --> That assignment you asked me to do
D --> The very important task
D --> I did find the Highbl00d

YEAH.
I HAD A FEELING YOU DID.

D --> Does this order still stand
D --> I lost consciousness
D --> I am unsure if it would still apply
D --> Not that it matters
D --> He is not here

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT ANYMORE. IT'S BEEN RESOLVED.
YOU
YOU DID GOOD BUDDY.

[He didn't believe Karkat. There was a bigger worry, but he didn't want to address it right now. She wasn't here, and it worried him. Other topics...]

D --> G00d then
D --> In that case I must prepare myself for the next battle
D --> They will need a STRONG warrior like me
D --> Obviously the lack of sufficient STRENGTH is why this affair is not already concluded

YOU KEEP DOING THAT.
UNTIL THEN, I GUESS MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU'VE GOT?

D --> I fully intend to
D --> I have noticed there is an arena
D --> I will be visiting soon
D --> Must attempt to test my archery skills here

OH YEAH. MUST BE COOL TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY USE THAT BOW OF YOURS.

D --> Please do not test sarcasm today Karkat
D --> That is really not funny
D --> Why would today be any different than the last time

[He suspected something was wrong, but he had no idea that he wasn't THAT strong anymore.]

WHAT SARCASM?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

D --> I will break the bow just like all days
D --> Why would anything be different
