ugh shit my head feels like it got smashed up against a couple of walls
if this is what a hangover feels like that noise can skip right off somewhere
i dont even care where just somewhere??
ahahaha that was not a witty sentence at all
f minus for dave strider and his attempts to sort himself out
speaking of that why does it feel like im in a vice thats
[There's a rustling sound from the gear followed by a sharp inhale of breath.]
is this for real seriously
i cant even decide what to think about this because im not getting enough air in this two sizes too small shirt get up
i mean it makes my ass look incredible
this is so stupid i cant even lift a leg without my pants threatening to give up the ghost
who the hell decided to shrink my sweet gear thats just a traversity
well its not exactly sweet its something out of a renaissance fair
how the fuck am i going to get out of this stuff its pasted onto me like glue
who the hell would do that though that just seems dumber than spending all this time remarking about this
[There's a growl that echoes before Dave keeps going.]
what oh hey
i remember you
feels like its been a year since we shared the sky together and went darting around like we lost our minds
why did i give you shades that just seems so dumb in retrospect like trying to pay homage to something when the real deal is around
but between you and me this doesnt feel like my life anymore
i couldnt really believe it when i had it because its so picture perfect straight out of some fantasy a lonely guy might have

--RRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-- wait what the fuck?

[Dave's soliloquy about his ill-fitting clothes is brought to an abrupt halt by the tail end of a very loud, very aggravated shout. It might be hard to tell exactly who the voice belongs to at first, since it can be a little difficult to judge nonsensical yelling. But once he starts speaking, it becomes clear that the voice belongs to John Egbert.]

Where the hell am I? [A slight pause, during which time we can only assume that John takes survey of his surroundings and discovers...] DAVE!!!! Oh my god, it's great to finally see you again! Wherever here is!

[There's an array of vague bumping, stumbling, and rustling noises that we're going to assume is John getting out of his own bed and moving over to Dave's. Because that's exactly what it is. Unfortunately, he still doesn't seem to have remembered how to use his indoor voice because he's still kind of yelling.]

I missed you so mu-- where are my sweet god tier pajamas? What the hell is this, it doesn't even fit!!!

[There's a sound almost like laughter but it's a bit muffled.]
ok ok lets remember not to bellow like some beast
were in a hospital here
what if you woke some poor old lady or something

Why are we in a hospital...?

[It's quieter, but...ultimately, not enough. Because before Dave gets the chance to answer another growl can be heard, but it's decidedly not of the Pokemon race.]

Jesus fucking Christ will the two of you SHUT THE FUCK UP?!

[It sounds like something fluffy and soft hit at least one of them at a rather high velocity followed by a second one and then more from the now recognizable voice of Rose Lalonde.]

I swear to god neither of you know how the fuck to be quiet do you? Is that a hard concept? I thought not but apparently you both still know how to surprise me! Jesus fuck my head feels like it's splitting open ugh. Fucking asinine Skaia-vexing addlepates I swear to GOD.

Oh, you're all awake!

[ ... ]

What are you all talking about? New memories or...? [ why is rose so cranky should she be concerned or ] But you missed the new arrivals, you know. Important ones, too. John, you'll be happy!

[ WAIT, JOHN + GOD TIER PAJAMAS? ] Wait, John, you remember new things? You mean you didn't just get knocked out randomly this time?

[ just double checking okay ]

Edited 2013-06-21 01:29 (UTC)

Hey. Yeah, it was new memory time. Apparently we all got knocked with the coma mallet and left somewhere like bodies in a ditch. Who moved us to the hospital? It's not like it's that life threatening.

Wait. This is a poke center. Okay, that's slightly less worrying. What the fuck happened while we were out?

Edited 2013-06-21 01:35 (UTC)

I don't know! I'm still in Johto, but I assume one of our Kanto friends might have helped you. Perhaps Mom or Bro? Are they still with you? [ CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF OTHER TRAVEL PARTIES. ]

Oh! You are up one space player, basically. [ ...AND...DOWN ONE MIND PLAYER... ] We traded a few people around, I guess. Sollux is all the way over in Kanto, by the way.

[Really, would she not be there? REALLY???

She's in the hallway having left to go get a drink, and it's on checking her gear while walking in the door that there's some echoing going on. Nearly dropping her water, she drops the cup on a desk and darts in to make an attempt at hauling all of them in for a giant group hug because -]

You guys are awake finally! Thank god!

Um... Aradia?

[He sounds... uncertain. Very uncertain. Though not because he doesn't recognize her, but rather for a different matter entirely.]

Shit, did I fall asleep and go back to the dream bubbles again? Is that what this is?

[He's just really fucking confused, okay? He just skipped three years and what is all this. It'll come back to him though. Hopefully soon.]

Hi John!!!!

[ She sounds much less uncertain and more...friendly? Although the accompanying smile might be rough on his nerves, if he could have seen it. ]

No, of course not! You're in Johto! ...Well, more specifically you're still in Kanto, I believe. Trust me, I would know if we were in the dream bubbles, and that has never been the case here. Besides, we would be able to use our abilities in those, you know?

More importantly, I'm glad you're all okay!

[[Rose will take the hug, but she groans in protest of Jane's voice.]]

Why is everyone so loud...?

Oh so we're growing in- wait. Traded. What do you mean by that?

[ Briefly debating it, but: ]

I'm the only FLARPer here, again.

[ 8C ]

A space player for a mind player.

Uh... hi.

[He's still not sure what to think of you, Aradia. You and your need to watch everything blow up.]

Wait. Kanto like as in Pokémon? Okay fuck I'm really confused now, my head is killing me. What's a Johto and what the hell is going on here?

[A beat.]

Also, son of a bitch you're right. I can't use my powers. Why can't I use... wait it's because this place takes them away and turns everyone human wait why do I know that? I've never been here before. Wait... shit.

[It's starting to come back. Sort of. Can you tell he's frustrated, Aradia, he's really frustrated.]

ACK! [There's a fwump and a clatter as John drops the Pokégear due to being lovingly assaulted by his Whimsicott...not that this can be seen but it's totally what happened.]

[There's a long moment of silence.]

Oh.

[John takes the hug though gives Jane somewhat of a confused look.]

Err... hi? Wait... [Squint. Wipe glasses. Squint some more.] N...anna?

[Forgive him, Jane. He needs a few minutes to sort his memories out.]

[ She expected that. ]

Did John shrink your things or did someone else do so? Is this another prank?

[ changing the topic unless he expresses a desire to talk about Terezi, honestly. She won't push it. ]

Ouch! Hey-- [Oh hey, look who it is!!!]

Rose!!! [Guess who's back to yelling again?] You're here too!!! Oh my gosh this is so great!!!

[He's going to come over and hug you now, okay? Or at least attempt.]

Are you okay?

[ You're being weirdly unenthusiastic! ...Wait. She's listening to the rest, and is actually getting increasingly worried. John didn't, like, go home, and then come back without remembering things, did he?

Wouldn't he be in New Bark if that had happened, though? ]

Umm...yes? And yes, you're right!! See, you do remember! But...what's the last thing back home you remember? You were pretty far behind from my standpoint, so maybe you're just juggling a lot.

[ temporal shenanigans she can do, and she actually...sounds a lot more authoritative there. THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TOMFOOLERY. ]

John? Did you hurt yourself???

[Why the fuck is he taller than everyone else. It's like he's the looming red giant to their midget circus. He awkwardly joins the cuddly shoosh reunion with a sigh.] Yeah we're awake. No one burned down the city while we were gone did they?

Nah. I experienced a whole year back home, so when I woke up I guess it all was applied here. Now my shit doesn't fit.

[He will just deal with the tz loss on his own.]

[[There's some grumbling you can hear before Rose finally replies to this.]]

Important like who?

PLEASE stop shouting John! [[He gets the hug, but she's burying her face in his shoulder to block out the lights.]] It's great to see you, I love you too muffin, but my head is fucking killing me and you are too damn loud.

Your space player! Jade!

[ She's ignoring the grumbling. ]

Can I ask what you remember? Or, rather, that you tell me later on after you're situated. If I recall correctly we were fairly near in terms of temporal points before you passed out, so if you remember anything, it's probably new to me.

We were pretty near in terms of time, weren't we? Before you went to sleep?

[ Or is she mixing this shit up. Aradia feels like if nothing else, she and Dave are sort of obligated to have a handle on time points. ]

Jade? Alright, that is pretty important. I'll have to call her later.

[[She groans a little. Thinking hurts, Aradia.]]

Lots of drinking, lots of dumb shit, and a really awesome mayor who put me in charge of can town.

[Dave steps over, and drops his voice low enough that Rose might not kill him. Might. He has a year of memories of the disturbing nature and is trying to sort it all out.] Want me to go ask for some pain killers? Pretty sure the other remedy isn't available here.

Yeah, we were pretty much spinning in the same circle on the time board. I'm way ahead now. We made it.

[Jade isn't crazy here is she? Tell him she's a little bit sane.] Jade say what point she's at?

No I just...got tackled by this little fuzzy...sheep. Thing. [There's a long pause while he has a staredown with his Whimsicott.]

But uh, anyway. Okay, so remember how you and Vriska pretty much dared me to touch the magic intangible treasure? And then I disappeared? Okay well I started like... zapping all over the place after that. I think through time and maybe also through space? Because I saw myself in the past at one point but then I think I also saw Dave in the future? And an adult troll hissed at me at one point. Then I ran into this weird green skull guy in suspenders and one of his other weird green buddies clocked me pretty hard and I wound up on this weird planet covered in grass and red stonehenges. And it had these funky like... crevasses filled with purple stuff? They were kinda like rivers but not really. I think it was one of the planets in the new session? Because we broke through the window thing and the ship was big again but...nobody else was there. Not Jade or Dave sprite or any of the consorts or weird chess people or Nanna.

[He's gone full ramble mode, hopefully Aradia didn't want to get a word in edgewise because he barely even sounds like he's stopping to take a breath himself.]

It was really boring and lonely and did I mention boring? Because it was super boring. So I tried to entertain myself for a bit and I kind of ended up just screaming at the sky. There was a flash of green light and when I opened my eyes... I was here. In the Saffron Pokécenter.

Wait shit it's happening again. Dave and Rose and I met up here and then... ugh.

[Can he just go back to sleep until his head stops hurting and things make sense again? Please?]

Wait... why do you even care about this?
