[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.))

[ And she flips the feed to video. ]

Hehe, right. Hi, Karkat!

NOT WHAT I MEANT, BUT YEAH. THIS IS ACTUALLY BETTER.

HEY.

-- oh my god, do you actually shout like that in real life, too??

YEAH. SO? IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL RIGHT?

No, it's not! It's just- surprising, that's all, haha.

[ Do you see those fluffy white dog ears, Karkat? They can't lie. They are perked and pretty curious. ]

I HONESTLY DON'T SEE HOW.

SO...YOU'RE PART WOOF-BEAST. HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU?

Well, it's not like Sollux says the number '2' instead of his 's'es.

[ -- except no, wait, fuck, she doesn't want to talk about Sollux right now. ]

And pretty well. I, um - can hear really well? Oh, wait! What point on the timeline are you from? On the meteor still, I guess, since we haven't all met up yet?

YEAH, HE LISPS. WHICH IS EVEN WORSE.

OH, I'M STILL ON THE METEOR. I THINK THERE'S STILL AROUND HALF A SWEEP BEFORE WE REACH THE NEW SESSION?

-- there's nothing wrong with a lisp!

And anyway, I think we're pretty close timeline-wise, then. I got these when I went godtier.

OH YEAH. THE LAST TIME I ACTUALLY SAW YOU YOU WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT SHAVING CREAM OR WHATEVER.

WE GOT A NOTE FROM JOHN SAYING YOU WERE OKAY. GUESS IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOME PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

Oh, yeah, um. Turns out that was actually a bomb! But I'm fine now. Sorry about that note, by the way.

IT'S...

LET'S JUST NOT TALK ABOUT THAT NOTE ANYMORE. OR EVER AGAIN.

POINT IS YOU'RE NOT DEAD, AND THAT'S PRETTY GREAT. REALLY.

Uhhh huh. I can hear the joy in your voice.

I PROMISE I'M MORE ENTHUSIASTIC THAN I SOUND.

AT LEAST ABOUT THIS.

I MEAN YEAH, THIS IS ALL PRETTY SHITTY, BUT AT LEAST IT'S PRETTY SHITTY WITH MORE COMPANY THAN BACK HOME.

WHICH I GUESS STILL ISN'T SAYING MUCH. THIS IS PRETTY SHITTY JADE.

Which house are you in? What power do you have?

[ Steamrolling past all of his grumpiness.. ]

HEIMDALL. APPARENTLY I USED TO BE IN HEL? I GUESS YOU KNOW THAT.

AS FOR MY POWER, SOUNDS STUPID. NOT GONNA USE IT SO IT DOESN'T MATTER.

Well, um, you never really talked to me much the last time you were here, I think you were preoccupied. Which power is it, though?

WHAT COULD I HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN DOING HERE THAT WAS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT?

THAT WAS RHETORICAL, BY THE WAY. I DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO KNOW.

DAMAGE DRAIN.

You have the same power as Riku!

DON'T KNOW. NOT SURE IF I WANNA KNOW.

[ sorry she can't help this: ]

HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE!

OH. GOOD FOR HIM I GUESS?

DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A GOOD POWER, BUT OKAY.

IT MOSTLY DEPENDS ON WHETHER--

Jesus Christ, Karkat, how is your throat not sore all the time?

[Who says it isn't?]

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO SWITCH TO VIDEO.

You're in Heimdall, right? Are you at your welcome house now?

[ do you see her putting her coat on :D ]
