[ 00:02 ] > Dave: Join Jade in making a PSA. [ filtered from eridan, gamzee ]

[ironicool]

[Jade and Dave are sitting together, facing the camera. Jade shoots it a smile before speaking.]

So! Um, as a warning, we have filtered this from Gamzee's and Eridan's communicators, but Gamzee has a second one whose number we don't know. So he will be able to see this. But someone has to do something, so I guess we should just get right

[text] bout time he got off his ass about this :|

[donttasemebro]

[Not pictured: the gigantic mountain that is all of Bruno's UNSURE that he should even be getting involved in this at all. But...]

He has killed more than that.

[Smallest of awkward delays between messages.]

I want to help.

[ironicool]

somehow im not surprised
tell me hes taken down entire races and fuck i still wouldnt be surprised
he offed someone you know i take it

[text], encrypted EVEN HARDER (seriously this is like Sollux-level shit up in here)

[donttasemebro]

[... Oh why the fuck not, it's not like he ever spoke to any of these kids when he was 'Bruno' anyway.]

He 'offed' me, as a matter of fact.

Obviously it did not take. The Porter had other ideas.

[Ouch :( ]

My condolences.

I hope that you at least returned with your powers intact, for your sake. I did not, and so there has been little I could do.

But I have to do something.

They will come back eventually. I have never heard of an instance in which a revived individual's powers have not returned.

[And here we have one of the several reasons this conversation is taking place in text. He's not sure he could say that aloud without a telltale hint of reluctance, one which he would rather not have to explain.]

In the meantime, I do still have quite a way with technology, if that could be of any use.

[ironicool]

yeah
how long does that usually take

i cant tell you how useful thatd be cuz we dont actually have a plan yet but im sure it could be

[text], SUPERCRYPTED sob and then i actually legit researched this

[donttasemebro]

[A short delay while he "researches"]

Network records suggest that the minimum period of complete depowerment appears to be at or slightly above 14 days, although in most cases the wait time is approximately three to four weeks. Individuals with multiple discrete powers or power-sets sometimes only regain them incrementally. The longest instance of delay between revival and complete repowerment for which I have confirmation was 135 days.

By the way, you two and Bauer certainly seem to be hashing something out.

[Yea he just sauntered casually through Jack's private filter and creeped on you guys just to prove a point Dave. He's probably working on Waller's too, but I haven't heard back from Colin yet that encryption is a bit trickier. This is one of those times he actually misses having a legit computerized brain B( ]

[text], SUPERCRYPTED thanks for the notif lj??

[ironicool]

[donttasemebro]

It's complicated.
