[ There's nothing but a blur of blue at first, a muffled groan somewhere. ]

What in the actual fu--

[ A pause, a gasp, and then the sound of running feet. ]

Dirk!

[ THUD. A second later, the SFC that's on has tumbled out of the pocket it was in and lands on the ground, showing the current scene a little sideways.

Roxy's laying on top of Dirk, her arms wrapped awkwardly around him, and she has her face buried in his chest. They're wearing some interesting outfits (nice pants, Dirk), but that seems to be the last thing on their minds. ]

You're okay! I thought you weren't because fuck the Batterwitch but you are you're okay and I'm okay and nothing is going on and look! We're back and-- you know what I probably shouldn't be laying on top of you should I. Lemme just...

[ She caaaaaaaaaaassually slides off of him and picks up her SFC, shutting it again and turning it back off. ]



((ooc; ps dirk and roxy are back from their update 8U replies will probably come from both))

[Random teleportation twice in a row is enough to throw off anyone, even Dirk, as much as he likes to act otherwise. He staggers back a step under the force of Roxy slamming into him, but by now grabbing her in return, to make sure the two of them don't fall, is an instinct.]

I thought you weren't, what the hell did she do to you, she just teleported me into the middle of fuck-knows-where.

[It catches up to him at the same time that they're hugging, and his grip loosens noticably. He's also trying very very hard not to show that he's flustered.]

Right. Okay.

... We're back.

[oceanbreasts]

[ She's just gonna sit on the ground a little ways away from him y'know no big. Whatever. ]

Yep. Sure looks like it.

[ SHRUG ]

I dunno. You disappeared and then Jade appeared only she was all grey 'n shit and she grabbed me and started hauling my ass back towards Derse with the Batterwitch following. And then I was here.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

Thanks for the free heart attack, assholes!

[Karkat looks distinctly relieved, though. Even if he's used to friends up and disappearing from this place, it's never pleasant.]

How long were you gone from your perspective? It's only been a few days here. And how did you reach god tier?

Also, Roxy, I'm sure Eridan will be monopolizing your attention as soon as he's able to.

[oceanbreasts]

Kitten!

[ Aaaaaaaw lookit you and your little face. ]

We've been gone for a few months, now. Spent the entire time in the game. Did you know that even in a completely void session, there are still quest beds on the moons? Who knew! Our friend did. So we went there and then the moons blew up and tada! God tiers.

[ And aw okay that makes her smile. ]

He didn't freak out too bad, did he?

[VIDEO]

[shippingmath]

Oh, because we definitely would have gone back to that if we could have.

[Is it possible to sound more sarcastic? Probably, but it would take a lot of effort. Going God Tier was not exactly worth everything they went through, in his opinion.]

Several months. Got blown up in Derse's moon.

1/3?

[unconchonable]

[Yeah, Eridan has been nothing but a mess since Roxy left, Karkat's done his bit to comfort him, but honestly that can only do so much. So it's a miracle that he can even bring himself to browse the network--]

2/3

[unconchonable]

[--Wait a minute, is that--]

3/4 I LIED

[unconchonable]

[Holy shit it IS. And she's... god tier? Wow...]






[But what does he do? Should he contact her? What if she doesn't remember, augh he doesn't think he could handle that. But he can't just ignore her--because what if she DOES remember? Karkat remembered before, so maybe....]

[video] 4/4

[unconchonable]

[That certainly is Roxy's moirail's blubbering face on the screen. He's trying his hardest to not look like such a grub, but he honestly is having a hard time here. Certainly she'll forgive him.]






Tell me you fuckin' remember me.

[Action!]

[dashingloyalty]

[Dirk is getting a lot of tackle-hugs today. Rainbow Dash is practically a rainbow blur as she slams into Dirk.

Don't mind her, Roxy, she's just a little glad that he's back.]

Omigosh omigosh omigosh, you're back! I was worried it was gonna be one of those times where you don't come back or you pull a me and don't come back for a year and that would've been so uncool, Dirk!

[Dash is talking a mile a minute, but she doesn't really care.]

[Action!]

[shippingmath]

[It's a good thing that he's already sitting from when Roxy hugged him, because it means he's just knocked to the ground again, instead of doing something ridiculously embarrassing like falling into the fountain. That would have just been the perfect way to end the day. Really.

Seeing Dash kind of makes up for it, though. Especially since she seems so happy to see him.]

Hi to you too, Dash. [He can't stay upset around this pony.]

[Video]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Oh, thank fuck, they're back. If they'd left at the same time for good....

None of this is showing, of course, but he is relieved that Dirk and Rox are back.]

Yo, welcome back to the bubble under the sea. What's happening?

[oceanbreasts]

[ Bird bro! Aw ain't you a sight for sore eyes. ]

Not much. Shit getting blown up, mostly. Y'know, the usual.

[Video]

[shippingmath]

[It's a good thing they have shades and poker faces, otherwise there would be feelings bleeding everywhere around here.]

SBURB is what's happening.

[spacecase]

[What was that?

You guys wanted more HarleyEgbertEnglishCrocker up in your grill?

Because Jade teleported to the scene as soon as she heard Roxy's voice and oh god she's hugging them.]

You guuuuuuuys!

[Nope, no greyness or overly pronounced fangs here, just excitable puppytier.]

Oh my gosh, you went god tier?? Roxy, you look so coooool!

[Dirk, well...nice gloves??]

[shippingmath]

[Dirk jerks in automatic reaction, when Jade first appears- last time someone teleported in front of him, it didn't have good results for his face- but as soon as it becomes obvious what's going on, he stops. He doesn't relax, though, because awkward hug is awkward.]

... Hey, Harley.

[paladaddy]

[Oh, it's that one girl from before, the one who was lamenting about how grown up she was while her friends were not.

He really has no idea what they're talking about, so instead he'll just make a comment about dem outfits.]

Interesting wardrobe. You look good in blue, Roxy.

[He hasn't met Dirk yet, so he won't say anything, but he's trying his best not to snicker at the poofy pants.]

[oceanbreasts]

Priestly dude!

[ ...she may have forgotten your name in the last five months sry. ]

Thanks. I'm rather fond of the new duds myself.

1/4 video

[symmetrophile]

Good. I was beginning to think you'd lost your nerve and fled, Strider.

[There's no way in nine thousand hells that Dirk would back down from his challenge, this Kid certainly knew -- that was a lot of the fun right there. The knowledge is in that steady and unsettling stare, even if he's saying otherwise.]

Hello, Roxy. It's so very good to see you aga--

2/4 video

[symmetrophile]

[video]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

You're back! I must admit, I was a bit upset when I learned that you were gone. It's good that this was one of the temporary absences.

[oceanbreasts]

Not even gonna lie I'm pretty glad to be back myself. I mean gaining levels 'n stuff was cool but the bubble is where it's at.

video; just realized I should throw Asuka at this too

[antabaka]

[There is only one way to put Asuka's reaction: utter, unshakeable gawking.]

Dirk? What on earth are you wearing? That has to be the ugliest outfit I've ever seen!

Video;

[shippingmath]

Hello to you too. Don't make fun of the duds, they're basically a uniform.

[Not that he likes them either...]

[video]

[overbiterestart]

Thank goodness.

[Jane was so worried. Oh my god. She was just so worried she may have baked her stress away she was so worried.]

[oceanbreasts]

[ SHE'S GONNA PEER SUPER FUCKING SUSPICIOUSLY AT THE CAMERA FOR A SECOND BEFORE BEAMING ]

Janey!

[ You're normal! ]

sorry this is late! rp continuity stuff delayed me, but I wanted to tag

[terribubbly]

Now that's a slick entrance! [ Feferi laughs. ] I don't think anyone expected you to be splashing down so soon.

No problem!

[shippingmath]

[Wow, no insulting their entrance, it would have been totally cool if the SFC hadn't started recording everything.]

Which is obviously why we're back. Got to do the unexpected, and shit.

[Audio]

[knightime]

Hey. Welcome back to the Bubble.

How much shit has hit the fan, seeing as you guys are sporting some god tier jammies now.

There's something ironic about you two arriving in God Tier together. [Because Rose and Dave had the same thing happen to them, so...]

[Audio]

[shippingmath]

Approximately ninety-five percent of it has hit. The remaining five percent is on standby.

Care to explain?
