[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.

[He looks mildly confused for a moment, but it doesn't take long to put it together.]

So you're not Vantas one or two, gonna take a guess that you're the ancestor variation. Yo.

[sermonize]

Correct. There was a brief conversation between the last time you were here and myself, but nothing to fret over.

[ your confusion, he can feel it. ]

I'm certain Rose is glad to hear from you.

[beatdownremix]

So how'd that go down?

[Because if he's had a conversation with someone, it'd be good to at least get some sort of idea what it was over and how this guy knew him. He seemed a lot more friendly than Karkat and a lot less annoying than Kankri, so that's already a bonus.]

And yeah, I know she was. Gonna send John over to keep her company while I work on some other things.

It was really more of a hello than anything. Striders tend to come and go, it seems.

[beatdownremix]

Hopefully that's gonna change. The three of us got something to make for ourselves here after all, kick ass and take names and all that kind of thing.

[Cause just from barely meeting Hal and Dirk, he doesn't feel like letting go anytime soon. Plus having John around and being able to just hang out for once will be pretty awesome too.]

[sermonize]

While I am certain that no one will complain if you did stay for a longer period of time...

Do you not have something to do? Something just slightly more important?

text;

[beatdownremix]

[Nope, switching to text. He's not letting any of his emotions show here.]

you said ive been here before right
well i dont remember
so it obviously doesnt really effect back home very much
theres a lot of shit ive got to do
but to be honest i was more or less just dicking around writing new raps and drinking shitty coffee while questioning roses life choices
we still had a year to go before shit got real
so yes and no

[sermonize]

[ 8| kids.... ]

You don't believe that everything you do, menial or not, has purpose?

[beatdownremix]

no youre right
i believe me forcing karkat to draw dicks had a very deep and meaningful purpose
it made my day that much better

[sermonize]

...Oh I'm sure he just loved that.

[beatdownremix]

he totally doesnt know how to appreciate penis ouija
but its his own fault for trying to make shitty charts in the first place

[sermonize]

Perhaps it is his way of coping with his own feelings. He tends to do the most ridiculous things as an outlet. Both of you are still young yet. Doing such things, as nonsensical and pointless as they seem, is all part of the growing stage.

[ yeah, that's right. your dick drawing is GROWTH, man. take that. ]

Or... Maybe forcing him to partake in your own brand of shenanigans is a way for you to have an outlet?

[beatdownremix]

you have actually found a meaningful purpose for dick drawing
thats it youre pretty much unbeatable
i give
youve made a believer out of me

[sermonize]

I admit... Even I have trouble depicting sarcasm from mere text.

[beatdownremix]

everyones gotta learn sometime
but seriously totally legit here
if you can find a meaning for dick drawing then you could rival rose

[sermonize]

I find Rose to be quite the charming lady. This is a compliment, no doubt.
