[prodigypyrope]

[ The faint sound of breathing can be heard from a slight distance although the image isn't focused on anything in particular in the room. There is some shuffling before the speaker is finally the focus. ]

Ah, hello?
We are new here.

[ There is a slight pause in the speech. A weak laugh. The young woman breathes in deeply.]

I am new here.
Sort of. All

[silence, and]

Pyrope?

voice;

[prodigypyrope]

[ She knows that voice. The circumstances under which she knows she speaker are, however, different. She looks surprised. ]

Lalonde?

voice/video;

[seared_by_light]

...Well. I suppose it was inevitable. We seem to attract doppelgangers as balsamic vinegar does certain species of fly.

[She turns on the camera.]

I take it you've only just arrived. You should know, first off, that you're not the only Terezi Pyrope in this universe. The other has seniority in how long she's been here, but she's several, ah, sweeps younger than you.

I imagine she'll be responding soon enough, in any case.

As for the sun, it doesn't normally behave like this, no. It's hard to say for certain what's causing it, but it's been correlated to a mysterious loss of powers for some.

[ She frowns, confusion crossing over her expression for a but too long for person comfort. ]

You mean there is another me?

[ There's another pause as she processes this information. ]

A younger me?

Ah-- thank you for the insight. About the sun, I mean. I don't know about powers but I'm guessing I don't have to worry then? But... Another me, huh?
Heh.
This is very strange.

what does this count as if they're in the same room

[carcinology]

[He's fiddling with his own PDA, pointedly not pressing any buttons that might result in turning on the same broadcast system that Terezi seems to have, and very pointedly not looking at her.]

[...Up until she calls him Vantas, at which point he rolls his eyes and scowls.]

I think these are sort of extenuating circumstances, Pyrope, care to drop the charges of Not On Speaking Terms just this once?

actions for them.. videos for whoever cares to watch the hilariousness that ensues? bring popcorn

[prodigypyrope]

[ She almost turns away from her video feed and towards his general direction but stops herself in time. Unknowingly, she mirrors his expression. Bluh. ]

I wasn't the one who walked off in a fit of rage. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm right about what I'm saying.
Am I not?

ACTION right. i'm stupid ffff. popcorn.gif

[carcinology]

[Another roll of his eyes.]

Oh my God are you fucking serious right now. Terezi we're talking right now. That usually breaks the idea of Not Being On Speaking Terms. What are you, five?

And can we just drop the whole walking off in a fit of rage that has a perfectly good explanation. This is just a little more pressing.

fff no you are not /holds eyes.gif

[prodigypyrope]

[ Again, she nearly turns in his direction. ]

Karkat, don't be silly. I don't think your snide remarks count as talking. Attacking my age doesn't, either; it just makes you sound like a bigger fuckass.

I'm looking forward to that explanation. I will be the judge of how good it is.

[Cue some laughter. It dies down much sooner than it otherwise would, though.]

[ Here. Have a six sweep old Terezi. Who is dying in the desert heat and fanning herself with contraband fanfiction. ]

Ahahahahaha, what the hell!?

video;

[prodigypyrope]

[ OH wait, that voice is. Way too familiar, what the hell. ]

Oh God.
Are you.
[ She frowns. Now would be a good time for colours to have smell. Alas, that's not the case for this older Terezi. ]
The other me that Lalonde was talking about?

video;

[r3djust1c3]

What!? No way! You are totally the other me.

video;

[prodigypyrope]

I'm older.
[A pause.]
Please let's not take this into a circular logic.

How can there be two of us? Something is very wrong here.

ill advised video;

[seeingtwofold]

[Have some tiny Sollux Captor - a tiny Sollux Captor that is both in bed, and covered in bruises and lacerations, some of which have been bandaged. His left arm is also almost certainly fucked up in some manner. He seems...unfocused.]

Oh fuck are you from another dimension? God this...man.

video;

[prodigypyrope]

[ See, Sollux - it is probably a good thing that she can't see you. By which one can understand that she cannot even smell or taste colours. If she did, she would be horribly concerned. You can take her slight frown as a sign that something is up with this adult. Like being a grown up Terezi isn't odd as it is. ]

I... Think so?
Your voice sounds familiar.. Captor?

[seeingtwofold]

[He looks at his communicator in confusion, as if he doesn't understand why she can't just tell by what he looks like.]

Uh...yeah though I guess I...I probably look different from what you're used to huh? Wow fuck this is so weeeeird.

video;

[prodigypyrope]

[She just shrugs and offers a small nod.]

You probably do. I haven't seen you in a long time. This really is weird.

video.

[hate_actually]

What the fuck is this.

video.

[prodigypyrope]

Wh-
No.

Karkat? Is that you?

video.

[hate_actually]

Okay, what the fuck, no. Do I want to know how old you are?

video.

[prodigypyrope]

I'm twenty-five. Years, not sweeps.

[This is when she laughs.]

You must look so tiny and cute! Hah.
