1st record | April 30th; Video

[The video switches on to show two color coded teens, one dressed in all red with a cape and awesome shades (with two bottles of apple juice, one in his hand and the other waiting at his side) and the other in all blue with a ridiculously long hood. The red one seems somewhere between totally chill and mildly unnerved while the blue one looks rather pleased and amused.]

Okay we've got a few problems here but the most serious one is someone please tell us we're not the only ones who can see that the sun is looking back at us. Is that like a sun or a giant rock with teeth waiting to eat us like wow that planet sure looks tasty better not eat the middle its too spicy but the north would be an awesome icy snack.

It's like big brother is watching you all the time. Or big sister. Is the sun a girl or a boy? Does anyone know?

[Dave stops to just stare at John for a moment, just giving him an 'are you fucking serious?' look.]

Dude, it's a rock.

But it has a face!

Male or female would imply it has reproductive parts and that's something I'd really rather not think of thanks. It's pretty creepy as is.

[John pauses with a thoughtful look.]

I wonder if the moon has a face. Maybe one is a boy and one is a girl and asteroids are their babies. I wonder if the asteroids have faces?

Wow. Ok, yeah. We're moving onto more important matters now, topic over.

[John rolls his eyes at Dave, he's no fun. He then turns back to the camera with an intrigued look on his face.]

What did that guy mean, I turn into a weapon? How can you turn into a weapon? I'm a human!

[Dave looks like he could care less, though there's a hint of curiosity there as he takes a drink of his juice.]

Yeah, that's pretty much all we need to know since the creepy dude filled us in on the other shit. I've got my AJ now, I'm good.

Hello, Dave.

Rose will 8e happy to see you.

Though she will pro8a8ly 8e a little surprised 8y your godtierdom.

Temporal shenanigans, you should know the drill 8y now.

[beatdownremix]

holy shit seriously
like shes that far behind
wow ok
this kind of sucks
so did you already give her the tl;dr of what you know or is that gonna be up to me

[consider8]

No, despite my 8est efforts. She's quite stu88orn in that regard.

The extent to which you provide her with exposition is in it's totality entirely up to you. As far as my role is concerned, she has made it a8undantly clear that I am not going to 8e one that she will trust. Further, she has taken it upon herself to undermine the session you are a part of, and 8elieves that su8version of what is to 8e is the 8est response.

Or, to put it in a more common vernacular, she is 8eing flighty and wants to wreck the events that are to come.

[beatdownremix]

thanks for summing that up for me
i hope you know i usually only read the last sentence
and ill see what i can do about talking to her when i see her then

[consider8]

I hope you know that I already knew this and am providing exposition for if and when you choose to return to this conversation, also knowing that is pretty unlikely.

How are you 8oth?

[beatdownremix]

nah its cool i know you like to talk
or type
same diff

ive drank the first apple juice ive had in two years how do you think i am

[consider8]

Well hydrated? ::::)

[beatdownremix]

very
best ive been in a long time
its awesome
so hey where can i get a job around here for cash
they said this thing can get me some freebies but ill need more than that

[consider8]

From my experiences there are two ways to go a8out acquiring funds, and a third if you don't mind illicit and potentially counterproductive measures.
The first is to inquire at any one of the numerous shops, 8usiensses, and restaurants that are interested in hiring us "guests."
The second is to take part in the weekly missions 8oard, which requires that you team up with a meister or weapon, depending on your role.
The third is illegally, through whatever other means that are not specifically covered in the first and second methods.

[beatdownremix]

taking a moment to appreciate you throwing in the third option

[consider8]

If you know who I am, then you know the company that I keep.

[beatdownremix]

punk fish princess here too?

[consider8]

Yes.

[beatdownremix]

who else?

[consider8]

The Alpha iteration of your brother, for starters.

[beatdownremix]

i kind of noticed
john got on my ass until i said something to something he put up earlier
who else

[consider8]

You may not 8e aware, 8ut a humanized personification of his artificial intelligent self.

It's easier to understand once you meet him.

A few more on our side: Feferi, Eridan, and Gamzee.
And a few of the adult versions of what people from my iteration becomes in the beta iteration, including Her Imperious Condescension.

[beatdownremix]

so not a single person john knows
and youre basically telling me rose has been all alone here

[consider8]

Yes.
8ut that second question is a 8it more complicated.
From her universe and temporal state, she is alone.
Even with you here, that only increases those from her universe, and not necessarily from her time.
Yet this world is not without it's share of people, and Rose may yet have had the opportunity to create acquaintanceship.
Or at least allies.

[beatdownremix]

read the first two lines
ill talk about it with her when i see her

[consider8]

Great!

Now, if you don't mind. I have a question for you, as a hero of time.

[beatdownremix]

shoot

[consider8]

When are we?

[beatdownremix]

i wish i could tell you
best i get is whats off the calendar here
its freaky as fuck
i cant feel time anymore
after two years it became like a second nature sixth sense type of thing but now its just gone

[consider8]

No, it makes sense.

I don't have my empathic sense or my Sylph of Light powers. So perhaps it was too much to expect.
