[A kid with rad shades on adjusts the feed, and if you look closely you can see his left eyebrow is twitching a little.]

Okay, so. After that, [A pause as he looks off screen, away from the end of cycling road that stretches upwards behind him.] report.

[Twitching in that eyebrow just gets worse. It has nearly reached out of control levels. Dave mutters a few swear words and steps out of the frame after kicking the stand on his bike down so it stays in place. He appears a moment later.]

Anyway. Getting to the point of all this. First off, newcomers, yo. Yes this is a real place and if you got questions, just ask'em.

[He holds up a hand and a large Salamence with pointy shades lands quietly at his side.]

To anyone around longer than a week. There was a survey going round before about gathering up who has rolled through here and what worlds have the most representation. We were looking for patterns or something like that. Couldn't find the results, for those of you I talked to. I figure we might as well do another one.

I'll even forgo my red text and do this properly. Because it isn't a joke, it's a fact finding tour of the gear network.

[It switches to text from here.]


Name (obvious)
How many people are here from your universe? (if i need to explain this one shame on you dudes)
How many people have BEEN here from your universe?(as in what people are no longer here and how many times)
What's your universe even like? (what was the most common what themes etc)
How long have you been here? (someone remind me if i forgot anything from the last one)

like i told dave, i might have missed a few iterations of some trolls early on, since i didn't know most of you all that well back then.
and obviously if there were people who came and left before i got here, i wouldn't know about that.
but i am confident that this list is about as accurate as it possibly can be!

see there he is
giving you what you need to see

what a pal

text;

[moveslikestrider]

best pal
dunno why theres so many of everyone
i wonder if the nature of the game makes our universe more likely to connect here
what do you think

text;

[timelymaid]

i think that would make as much sense as anything
ive noticed we seem a lot more 0kay with the idea of being inside a game
probably because
well
thats not anything new??
so its a possibility
but lets see if any other universe racks up more numbers than us
and then decide

text;

[moveslikestrider]

crunching the data as we speak
not that we dont crunch numbers all the time
hail the legacy of the time players
but i demand more high fives
we got to go for the GOLD

text;

[timelymaid]

well since were all going to be in fuchsia soon (?? thats still a thing yes)
i will present myself for time fives immediately upon arrival
well make all the other aspects jealous
actually though full pair wise arent the space players the only other full set
er
and void again i guess?

text;

[moveslikestrider]

well just have to keep doing it so all can see
huh so we only have a few sets
oh well
that just makes us every more awesome

text;

[timelymaid]

yep were just that special and amazing!!
clearly we should have team showdowns
except im mostly joking here
(though if the light players were all here i think id be taken super seriously)

[timelymaid]

consider me up to date
also astounded at the exiles who apparently were in this place
interesting
so dave gamzee and tavros are winning
its only appropriate there be a lot of daves or mes i think
its a time thing thats normal
but what is everyone else doing

text;

[ghostytrainer]

i only spoke to one of them myself, but karkat told me the other two were here.
this was a very long time ago though, and they haven't been back since.
but yes, they certainly are. though tavros is poised to take the lead since he is the only one who isn't here right now.
i have no idea what the rest of us are doing though, i am just relieved that it has slowed down a lot now.
i swear when i first got here there was somebody leaving/coming back every week it seemed like.
that's why we were stuck in violet for so long.

text;

[timelymaid]

thats true :(
tavros is very much not here
and yes you have mentioned the violet thing before
multiple times :p
consider me fully briefed on the matter of violet

text;

[ghostytrainer]

right, sorry!
i just couldn't remember if i had actually told you that or just that violet is terrible.

[It's all kind of a blur. A blur of anger and Violet.]

text;

[timelymaid]

i asked you why it was terrible and you explained

text;

[moveslikestrider]

we should see if he can sing
then he can sing the song of our people
maybe play some drums
shit
oh YES
thats what we need
a jam session
oh man why havent i thought of this sooner

text;

[timelymaid]

can i play the chimes

text;

[moveslikestrider]

course you can
we should all play something
kick back and jam
yeah

text;

[timelymaid]

im so in then!!!
this will be exciting!
we should do it before we all split again
since i think you guys are going to the festival too??
so well see one another there

text;

[moveslikestrider]

yeah were going
me pass up free food??
bro would appear from where he is in this land and smack me upside the head
never turn down delicious opportunities
also never say certain words but that rule has passed
i think
hold up
okay yeah i think its passed

text;

[timelymaid]

disregard
im scattered
also cool!!
i am going to enter something i think!

text;

[moveslikestrider]
