[Text] Journey start

really
is this really how this is going to go down

this feels a little like dejavu but without the hey ive been here before
like the circumstances feel somewhat passingly familiar
me and some weird pony just hanging out and waiting to see whats up
maybe ill name her black beauty not that shes black
youre a she right
im not looking to check fyi
you do that on your own time

were new in town and too cool for school or so someone calling herself my mom seems to think
ive seen my mom shes way hotter than that
there is a clear path of how did this dude came to be when you look at mom
not so much here sorry lady
but you can keep thinking whatever thats cool

now seriously what the hell is going on

[ooc: Color text opt out over here.]

yeah about that you might want to hurry
hes sort of following me
yeah hes nuts and really taking offense to my charming personality i cant imagine why im such an awesome dude

wonderful.
any chance your ponyta will let you ride it?
maybe you can ditch him.
because it's going to take us a while though.
we're like...three cities away and while fly is great, it's not instantaneous like it is in the games.
let me go find rose and jade and see what they want to do.

lady b might let me ride her yeah
but im only a bit smaller than she is
i can stall him as long as it takes for you to pop over

all three of us will be on our way soon.
just gotta go get the gaggle of fliers out of the pc.
just do what you can, because it's probably going to take at least 16-20 hours.
which, before you say anything, was better than how we used to have to do this meetup thing.

yeah cool i just need to figure out how to ditch him
hes getting really handsy
its getting creepy
this is what i missed when he was in hiding i am cool with him going into witness protection again

while he was hiding?
on the meteor or whatever, you mean?
why was he hiding?

because of chainsaws
held by glowing broads with an urge to settle things in a messy way

oh ok.
that means absolutely nothing to me but i can understand chainsaws.
getting cut in half might suck.
but with how he's acting now i can't really blame whoever this glowing broad is for wanting to give it a try.

shes pretty cool
and from what ive heard yeah she has a legit reason to do it
so i heard about mutations happening here
what did you get

uh...couple of different things.
i had electric powers when it first hit, but those went away after about a week.
which was actually a good thing because electric powers actually suck balls to tell you the truth.
like you think they would be pretty cool until you find out that you can't touch people without shocking them and you fry every electronic device that comes into your hand if you're not careful.
it's all fun and games until you accidentally blow up a bathroom.
there were some physical side effects too and they're kind of starting to go away but nowhere near fast enough.

you know what, it's probably easier to just show you.
it's not like you weren't going to find out soon enough anyway.

[And with that, he flips over to video. It should be pretty obvious why Karkat suggested John as an example of what exactly happened to the infected people. In the three months since the outbreak, the only side effects that have gone away were the golden yellow splotches all over John's skin. The stripes have dulled though they're unfortunately still visible.]

[The curly horns, fangs, blue lips, and cat-like pupils though...not so much. John swears the saber-fangs are shrinking but "shrinking" isn't "gone" and he still can't talk without drooling or lisping.]

[After about thirty seconds and a thumb's up though, it's back to text.]

like i said: this has been my personal favorite rocket scheme.

[sarcasm.avi]

hahaha you blew up a bathroom
wow dude

[Then video comes on and Dave raises an eyebrow at all the changes to his best friend's person. Karkat hadn't prepared him for this. He gives John a thumbs up before it's back to text.]

any idea when it will wear off

not on purpose!
but you know, i wasn't exactly expecting to see all THAT when i looked in the mirror.

no idea. it started wearing off a little bit at the end of last month.
i had all these big yellow splotches on my skin before.
hopefully the rest of it will go pretty soon though. am getting tired of having to write or type everything out so that people can actually understand what the fuck i'm saying.

well of course not on purpose who busts the most useful room in their house on purpose
or even someone elses place
that seems like going way out of line

too bad these things dont work on our thoughts then it would be easier for you

[It is just a fact of Homestuck life. Wherever these kids go, bathrooms will be destroyed.]

yeah that would be kind of neat.
though it's not so much the typing itself that's frustrating. it's more the being completely unintelligible part.
but whatever, not much i can do about it.

btw, we're leaving now.
we can still talk though, if you want.

[It's the law of comedic gags.]

yeah talking would be cool
what do you know of chucklefuck here
do i need to add anything in

chucklefuck being gamzee?
a lot less than i thought i did, apparently.
he was different the last time he was here. kinda spacey but generally a good guy.
there was an incident a year ago where he kinda started acting like he is now. only with less talking and more beating people senseless.
karkat kind of made it sound like he detoxed or something, i don't really remember.
but he got over it and he went back to being a space case.
even moreso once we found out that paras shrooms work as a decent replacement for...sopor slime? that's what it's called right
so i am probably missing a few things since the only details i have things that happened here.
and i am guessing it was a completely different situation back home that snapped him.
unless you guys were travelling through caves or something.

thats the dude
yeah their slime stuff is called that and uh yeah i dont know the details exactly
but he did way more than hand people back their asses
whatever it was kan wants to introduce him to her chainsaw
idk why hes suddenly up in my business youd think it wasnt just kans threats

it must be that irresistible strider charm of yours.
nobody is immune.
what is he even doing?

getting up in my grill
its like hes got the idea he has a right to jump into it and manhandle the cook
hell no he wont go for that shit this cook will bap you with that spatula dont think he wont

sorry dude. :(
really wish we could get there faster...

ive dealt with worse
this is just annoying as fuck
seriously ill be fine

i'd say punch him if you have to but that might not be the best idea.
in any case, it sounds like you're even further along in the timeline than rose and karkat.
or any of the past daves, for that matter.
what have you been up to?

hahaha yeah
yeah im farther ahead than they are
not much happened i mean we dicked around in dream bubbles and shit
thats pretty much it

[And that's a huge lie. But he's not thinking about heavy shit right now.]

sounds like a regular old party.
hopefully you won't be too bored here, i mean i don't know if magical monsters can compare to dream bubble dicking.

are you kidding
magical monsters is the shit
and were all here far as i know
not something thats happened for two years

He loves you too, bro. Best bro. He's going to find a pokemon that will cling to your face.

yes do it.

He'll figure out the perfect name for it and send it. Then sit back and watch.

john deserves it, tbh. this is the second time he's done this. it was shuppet the first time.

jdsakjd that's beautiful

it's what dave gets for leaving him all the time :T

wow rude not like he can help it.

he knows but it's still sad and frustrating and he is the pranking master. JUST LET HIM COPE.

He's down with that but he will so counter it in that bro way. Which is being a troll.

he wouldn't have it any other way.

perfect
