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.

No, not Vriska, 8ut close.

And yes, she is. Do utilize the encryption feature on your mirror. For evey8ody's safety, 8ut most especially yours.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, you don't really sound like her.
mine? why me?
consider8: (Let's 8la8!)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
That is she 8ecause she's my decedent, of a sort! :::;)

And my apologies, that is a general "you." Those that the 8atterwitch knows a8out are most especially suscepti8le to her interests.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
oh!
are you uh...
shit, i'm trying to remember what vriska said...
spinneret? a troll pirate?
how would the batterwitch know about me? i've never met her...

Close again!
One second...
consider8: (Oh why hello)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Hello, John.

My name is Aranea.

[video/private]

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink blink.]

Hey, you have the same horns as Vriska!
consider8: (Gentle 8reathing)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Yes, I do.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that makes sense, if you're related to her.

Hi, Aranea, nice to meet you.
consider8: (Disclosure)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you too!

To answer your question, the Batterwitch is a veritable ancient that has transcended multiple times and multiple universes. She was the guardian of your grandmother, and in another universe she was a guardian...

...of you.

/not here

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Dave, get out.

No, wait, stay here, you might need to calm him down.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Insert one of those long pauses that goes on just long enough for it to start to juuuuust get awkward.]

WHAT????????
consider8: (It's my pleasure!)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
[You'd be surprised how much those awkward pauses seem meaningless after the first million years or so.]

It's true!

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean, guardian???
consider8: (Internal de8ate)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Um... please forgive me, I'm not 100% on the specifics of human interactions with their progeny.

Stair... mother? Oh! Adoptive mother.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
The... She... great grandmother??? Adoptive mother??? But my dad is the one who adopted me! I don't have a mom! I never had a mom! ... I mean, one that I grew up with!
consider8: (Now that's interesting)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
That's because she's not. [pause] In your universe. In another universe, the one you perpetrated by creating the scratch, your role with your grandmother was reversed.

Thus, in that universe, you were the ward of the Batterwitch, while your Grandmother took the mantle of the player character, and Maid of Life.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
... I suddenly don't understand anything.
consider8: (Aside commentary)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, give it a minute and think about it. You've just had a significant shock. I'll be here if you have any questions.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Please hold while he asks Dave some questions and figures stuff out.

Holding...

Holding...

Holding...

Okay, he's back.

Alternate me's life must have been a nightmare.

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
In some respects.

He had a long, full life. Died of old age, and became a very successful standup comedian.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
[That last bit makes him perk up.] A comedian? Really?
consider8: (Exhilar8ion)

[personal profile] consider8 2013-02-06 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
The best comedian.

[personal profile] pranksterheir 2013-02-06 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks very very happy about that.] I guess it wasn't a total nightmare.
