[So here is a goofy-looking kid who is actually quite lost at the moment. He spends a few moments looking around himself, as if he's trying to shake himself of an illusion and go back to his normal reality. Except it doesn't work, he's actually here, this is real life.]

Woooooooow! This is so COOL!

[Clearly he is not fazed by this at all. A grin

[A similarly goofy-looking kid is not that far away. Where could they be now? It wasn't long ago that she was steering the ship. Something inside her says that this isn't quite what was supposed to happen, but isn't that just part of the adventure?]

Hey, John! I'm right here!!!

[And see? John's here! Things can't be all that wrong if he's still around. :D

She waves, cheerily heading over.]

It looks like I lost a few things on the way, and we wound up somewhere totally different. But I think we still might be able to find the others here, too.

[foundmyarms]

[Oh there she is! John was beginning to get worried, he was thinking she might not have made it after all.]

Jade!

[Happy waving is overly happy and then he runs (floats?) over and gives her a big hug.]

Man, you have no idea how happy I am to see you!

[Yeah, they'll look for the other two in a moment, but first HUGS and possibly questions because you sure did become a dog God Tier Jade.]

[spacewich]

[She squeezes John tight in return.]

It's good to see you're okay! Everything worked out on our side.

[Daww, and she nuzzles him just a little, too, before gently pulling away.]

Almost everything, I mean. I wonder where this is.

[foundmyarms]

I'm not too sure! I think it might be the next universe, the one after the Scratch, but we can go back and forth between this world and where we were? It's kinda weird.

[Yeah he doesn't quite get it, but hey, they can explore the shit out of this place, right?]

But hey, you have dog ears now! How'd that happen?

[spacewich]

[Her right ear twitches at being mentioned.]

Oh, right! I'm just like you now! Remember when you said that Jack killed you when you were tricked into sleeping on your quest bed? I got blown up by some cans of shaving cream......... and somehow wound up on my quest bed? I don't really know how that happened, but I woke up as my prototyped dream self!

[Giggling a bit, she poses to show off her god tier outfit and self.]

But anyway, John, I don't think this is the next universe. I have this feeling that something is a little off.

[foundmyarms]

Oh well that explains the dog ears then. And the cool outfit. And the planet-shrinking.

[He's kind of wondering how she got blown up by shaving cream, though. He knows shaving cream is flammable but who in the world has enough of that stuff to make a bomb?]

It feels off? How can you tell?

[spacewich]

Well, I'm the space girl! And I was driving the ship, remember? I'm pretty sure I didn't put any of that stuff down... I was taking it with us to the next universe!

[She looks around, but there's still no ship, no shrunken planets, no battlefield.]

So, you think that Dave and Rose might be here, too, right?

[foundmyarms]

I don't know for sure, but if they're here we'll find them.

[He's really hoping they ended up here. The last time he talked to them there was the distinct possibility that he would never see one of them alive ever again. He hopes that they both managed to make it out alive.]

[spacewich]

[She nods, firmly, still smiling brightly. :D]

So, have you looked around already?

[She produces a couple printout brochures.]

I went to the information booth and got both brochures in paper! So it looks like we're still in Space or in the Astral Plane or something...

[foundmyarms]

Just a little bit around here. I got one of those brochures too!

[But he didn't read it yet oops.]

[spacewich]

I'm pretty sure these things explain more than that.

[She read the brochure titles, if that counts for anything...]

But I guess they expect visitors in a place like this. Have you met anyone else yet?

[foundmyarms]

A couple people, yeah. And they've all been pretty helpful so far.

[They got him pointed in the right direction to find out what's going on, at least.]

The weird thing is, I'm not sure where the visitors are coming from. I thought we were the last humans left.

[spacewich]

Maybe they're from different universes.

[That would be amazing! :o]

Maybe all these people came from different ones created by different sessions, just like how the trolls made our universe by also playing the game.

[foundmyarms]

Oh, that could be it! I really hope it is, that way at least some people are left in the universe.

[Then he gets an idea, and he brightens considerably.]

Oh hey! Maybe some of them are from the universe after the Scratch!

[spacewich]

Oh! [:o] Yeah, maybe you're right! That would be so cool!

[Maybe they'd meet her grandson, Jake. Maybe the trolls would be here, along with Rose and Dave! She and John could meet all of them!]

Maybe we could split up to look around and meet more people!! Then, we can come back later and trade notes. What do you think?

[foundmyarms]

Why don't we just stick together and look? We might see something that the other person misses.

[Plus he'd rather hang out with Jade right now, he doesn't want to risk having her disappear again.]
