WELCOME "HOME", JOHN.

[dorkways]

woah, karkat!
wait, what do you mean, by home?
is this what was supposed to happen after the scratch?
are you guys all here already?

[katlocked]

NOT QUITE.
I MEAN GODS FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE DRAGGED US HERE AND NOW WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THE VEIL.
ONLY, I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF THAT'S A BAD THING OR NOT.

[dorkways]

oh.
huh. weird.
yeah, i am not sure either!

[chillin]

no dude youre doing it wrong
you have to pinch yourself hard enough that ever inch of your mental stability turns to stardust and your body bends into the shape of a cookie like you suddenly blast off past the speed of light via the goddam uss enterprise
jesus the point is that weve been pulled from our universe into this place called asgard which is apparently a holy city and is harbored by gods
my name is dave strider just take my hand and ill lead you through this journey
k

[dorkways]

oh, daaaave.
sign.
you don't know anything about the uss enterprise!
also does this mean this isn't sburb anymore?

[chillin]

Everyone was brought here the same way. By the gods.

...mostly everyone, anyway. There were some people here even before then, but... they probably won't answer your questions.

[dorkways]

Like that maid lady that came in and gave me your letter...she wouldn't really answer the stuff that mattered! And she looked weird. [he frowns, looks like he's thinking about it] Like she didn't really have just one face, you know?

[veritates]

Right. They're... "locals". They might help you with some things, but they won't really answer questions about this place.

That's up to us to figure out.

[dorkways]

It doesn't sound that bad though...Apparently we get powers! And everything to be happy... We are supposed to make friends or something. [he shrugs and then grins wide, laughing] Sounds like fun to me!

HI TAGGING THIS BEFORE I PASS OUT [1/2]

[8rutal]

[ ... where does she even begin?

"Hey, did you know I died? And that it's Terezi's fault? And that Karkat kind of totally let it happen and I don't believe him when he says he wasn't okay with it?

Did you know that basically all of my friends seem to be 0k with the fact that I was murdered, and I am taking it kind of personally?"

I don't know what you know, and that fact is beginning to bother me. ]

........

I know this is kind of sudden, 8ut I could use someone to t8lk to.
I mean
If you are not too 8usy, I guess, with settling in and .......... uh, everything.
Wow, this is really l8me! Sorry. Hi, John.

[filtered]

[dorkways]

vriska!
what's wrong?
are you ok?
i wanted to talk to you but karkat was being all cagey about where you were!
i'm not busy, so we can talk.

[filtered]

[8rutal]

Nothing! I mean ........ I'm not really sure anymore. Things 8re just kind of messed up right now!

8ut I'm fine. I guess I am just glad to see a friend. Karkat is 8eing an idiot, as usual. Ignore him. I sure am!

Anyway, could we, may8be ........ meet in person? Since th8t is a thing we can do, now.
