this is a pretty important question
say you were here and left
for lets say
nine months and you happened to have a pet who hasnt seen you in
well
nine months
how would yo-
oh fuck it
how the fuck do you tame a wild chocobo???
because he isnt exactly playing friendly or coming home because i called his name out extra nicely
this is kind of important
id kind of like to get him back but i actually no ding dong about chocobos and how they work
no amount of video games has ever prepared me to actually catch wild chocobos
i also should probably be like
hey whos here
be all like
guess whos back
back again
striders back
call a friend
idk
its been kind of weird
i accidentally walked into a house that isnt actually mine anymore
im not going to elaborate on that for reasons but it was awkward
note to self
find a new place to stay and dont forget because sleeping out here seems like a bad idea
js
so
chocobo

DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M THAT STUPID THAT I'D GIVE YOU USELESS ADVICE BY ACCIDENT.
ALSO, THAT'S WHY YOU LOOK AT YOUR SFC AND CHECK THE FUCKING DATE, IDIOT.
EVEN IF YOU HADN'T BEEN GONE THAT LONG WHY WOULDN'T YOU THINK TO CHECK HOW LONG IT WAS?
THAT'S COMMON SENSE
BUT THEN AGAIN, I SHOULD GIVE UP ON THE "COMMON" PART OF THAT AND STOP GIVING MYSELF HEADACHES BY EXPECTING PEOPLE TO USE THEIR THOUGHT ORGANS.
BUT SERIOUSLY, IF YOU'VE BEEN GONE THAT LONG AND YOUR CHOCOBO IS STILL AROUND, IT'S PROBABLY FINE
EITHER ON ITS OWN OR IN THE CARE OF SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
[TEXT]
yes
you tend to give me pretty useless advice which makes you either seem really stupid or just really awkward
im not even including the times you tried to facilitate my nonexistent quadrants
no
common sense told me im cold and im wet and i should change into clothes to stop being both of those things
so of course i went what used to be home so i could do this
last time i check survival instinct didnt include checking the time or date
i thought you trolls were about survival of the fittest or whatever bullshit your race goes off on
i just want him back
[TEXT] (1/2)
WHAT THE FUCK
BULLSHIT, I DID NOT TRY TO CONVINCE YOU TO TOUCH MY FACE.
EVEN JACKASS FUTURE ME CAN'T BE THAT...
I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE WORD I'M GOING FOR HERE
AS TO ASK YOU TO DO THAT.
WHY WOULD I EVEN WANT YOU TO???
AND THE ONLY REASON I CARED ABOUT YOUR ROMANTIC PROSPECTS WAS THE CONTINUANCE OF YOUR SPECIES, WHICH YOU WERE ALL TOO SELF-ABSORBED TO CARE ABOUT
WHICH ACTUALLY DON'T MATTER HERE WITH ALL THE HUMANS MILLING AROUND, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW.
AND WAY TO BE STUPID ABOUT THAT, TOO.
YES, WE ARE FOCUSED ON SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST AND CULLING THE WEAK
WHICH INCLUDES THINGS LIKE NOT WANDERING INTO A HIVE THAT ISN'T YOURS.
SET ASIDE THE WHINING ON HOW IT WAS BEFORE, BECAUSE AGAIN, BEING GONE LONG ENOUGH MEANS IT MIGHT NOT BE.
BUT HEY, WHY WOULD I KNOW ANYTHING
I'M ONLY THE ONE WHO GREW UP IN THAT CULTURE.
[TEXT] (2/2)
GO TO THE NOSTALGIA NOOK AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET SOMETHING CALLED GYSAHL GREENS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT RECOGNIZE YOU, BUT I DO KNOW THEY LIKE THEM.
AND BEFORE YOU DOUBT ME, THIS IS THE FIRST THING I LEARNED ABOUT CHOCOBOS AGES BACK WHEN I HAD ONLY BEEN HERE A FEW MONTHS
AND I HAVE SINCE WORKED WITH THEM AT A PAST JOB, LIVED WITH SOMEONE WHO OWNS ONE, AND NOW OWN ONE MYSELF.
DON'T SAY I NEVER HELPED YOU.
[TEXT]
how far behind are you on the timeline
you were sleeping and we were passing through a dream bubble at the same time so you ended up in the same place twice basically
im not really going to talk about this because it was stupid
idk
jackass future you is kind of more chill than jackass current you so theres that
haha
ha
fuck im not talking about this either because you probably have no idea what im talking about anyways
i get it
you think im a fucking moron and how i made it this far is a surprise to all humanity
weve done this song and dance can we not?
oh right
gysahl greens
its been awhile
also two years as meteormates i dont think i can even rationalize saying you never helped me
but i guess this means no more storytime with karkat
i wanted to know if that one troll chick was going to get with the other troll dude in our current book
gdi
[TEXT]
I FLAT OUT GIVE UP ON UNDERSTANDING DREAM BUBBLES.
AND FOR THE RECORD, THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THE METEOR IT WAS TALKING TO JOHN JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO SET OFF THE SCRATCH.
BUT ARE YOU EVEN SERIOUS
FIRST ROSE, NOW YOU
DOES FUTURE ME JUST SHARE HIS ROMANCE NOVELS WITH EVERYONE?
[TEXT]
so i guess you can travel through them by sleeping but you dont necessarily have to be asleep to experience them since the environment changes around us as literal as my typed text
so its just kind of unfortunate that you fell asleep when we passed through one because it materialized you into the same place
so there was you passed out
and there was you not passed out watching passed out you
the fact that this game has made it possible to use you that many times and still makes sense makes me hate this a little more
holy fuck
that was two years ago for us
yea
you kind of do that
im hurt you dont remember our heart to heart moment though
...
on second thought
no im fucking glad you dont recall that at all
if you really want to know about anything i guess i can give you the down low
but itll probably just make things even more difficult
you know how shit works
get more information
understand even less
[TEXT]
TEREZI'S HERE FROM ABOUT THE SAME POINT IN TIME, FOR HOWEVER MUCH THAT MEANS TO YOU.
AND TRUST ME, I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE GO AROUND OF HOW MANY DIFFERENT WAYS I CAN AND HAVE USED "SELF" IN MEANINGFUL CONTEXTS
SO OVERUSE OF "YOU" IS HARDLY SOMETHING NEW TO ME
EVEN IF THIS DOES SOUND PATENTLY RIDICULOUS AS EVER.
BUT WHEN IS SGRUB/SBURB/PARADOX SPACE EVER NOT RIDICULOUS.
UNLESS THAT SUPPOSED "HEART TO HEART" MOMENT IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE, PLEASE SPARE ME THE DETAILS AND YOU WILL HAVE MY ACTUAL, LEGIT GRATITUDE.
BUT ANYWAY
IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY WILLING TO SHARE THE INFO, GO AHEAD.
THE RISK OF UNDERSTANDING LESS IS BETTER THAN KNOWING NOTHING.
[TEXT]
terezi is here
man shit is ten times more fly suddenly
it wasnt important at all so im going to breeze over it like it werent even a thang
naw i guess i can tell you
i mean we got however long you and i are stuck in this place to get you to kind of up to speed
youve already deduced
yea
we met up with you and aradia and sollux or whatever shot us off to the new session
its been two years for us for now
shit kind of got crazy weird
like
prescratch ancestral troll bullshit weird
[TEXT]
BUT GO AHEAD AND TELL ME WHATEVER INFO YOU CAN
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, SO I EXTREMELY DOUBT THE SCIENTISTS ARE JUST GOING TO YANK MY ASS BACK TO THE METEOR MID-CONVERSATION.
TEREZI ALSO MENTIONED THE PRESCRATCH ANCESTOR-DESCENDANT CRAP BUT DIDN'T GO INTO MUCH DETAIL
AND ROSE IS LIKE, FROM A POINT BETWEEN ME AND YOU SO SHE'S ONLY MET TWO OF THEM?
THE POINT IS THAT I DON'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT YET, BUT I WANT A BASIC RUNDOWN SO I KNOW WHAT IF ANYTHING TO LOOK OUT FOR
BEYOND THE BASIC ADVICE TEREZI GAVE ME TO AVOID PRE-SCRATCH SIGNLESS AND DUALSCAR.
[TEXT]
i mean i guess ive talked to them but nothing of real interest can be said about it
theyre a little older than us and i guess to preserve their existence from the scratch they blew themselves up
well ok their leader blew them up
i guess their session was fucked to begin with like most session
if you thought either of our session was fucked up
theirs takes the cake because most of them are assholes or theres something wrong with them
hahaha
oh my god
lets put it this way
your prescratch ancestor dude can make you speechless
and not in a good way
[TEXT]
AND THE GENERAL IDEA OF THEM BEING ASSHOLES
BUT IT'S THE SPECIFICS THAT I'M LACKING.
WHICH YOU DO YOU MEAN THERE, THOUGH
GENERAL YOU OR ME SPECIFICALLY?
[TEXT]
remember the shitty red shit that jack used?
the crappy red miles that kind of fucked up a lot of our shit?
think of that in verbal sjw form
that is your ancestor or descendant or whatever you want to call your prescratch friends
i mean generally
but also specifically you because hes definitely going to want to talk to you a lot
bonding and all that fun stuff
good luck
god speed to you
[TEXT]
[Do you really think that term exists on Alternia of all places, Dave? He'll address the rest after, but without that, he's kind of missing the point.]
[TEXT]
basically hes a huge dick that things hes helping but in actuality he just sounds a bigot
kind of tries and stick up for the less abled
tells everyone to check their privilege and to tag their triggers
spoiler
everything is triggering so tag everything possible with a potential warning
and then hell go on holier than thou rants
that
never
end
[TEXT]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT "TRIGGERING" IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN HERE, NOR DO I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO.
I DO, HOWEVER, FIND MYSELF WANTING TO INTRODUCE MY FIST TO MY FACE.
MY ANCESTOR CAN BE A WHINY SHIT WHEN HE WANTS TO BUT HE AT LEAST DID SOME ACTUAL GOOD WITH HIS PREACHING.
[TEXT]
haha no man
your ancestor is pretty chill
this guy is just a twat
a huge fucking twat
and he walks around in this red sweater like hipster culture was meant for him
[TEXT]
HE ACTUALLY WEARS RED???
LIKE
*RED* RED???????
[TEXT]
their society is a lot different from yours
i guess it made him special who even knows
i cant really explain this one though
aradia or someone else would probably be better at it since i kind of have a very outside vague view of your culture much less theirs
but he types in it and wears that shit like a giant red flag
[TEXT]
THE ONLY TROLL WHO'S EVEN MET THEM WHO'S HERE RIGHT NOW IS TEREZI AND SHE WAS BEING SECRETIVE ABOUT ALL OF THEM FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON.
BUT JUST
UGH
THAT GRUBFUCKER.
HOW DOES HE GET OFF WITH THAT???
AND THEN HE HAS THE FUCKING NERVE TO TALK LIKE THAT?
HOW DOES
WHY
WHY DOES HE EXIST, STRIDER.
WHY IS THIS A THING THAT HAPPENS???????
[TEXT]
well i guess i meant in general
for some reason she just seems to always know whats going on
i guess in their society it wasnt a big deal
maybe it was an honor even
i mean none of them seemed to have a problem with it in general so it was either a thing that happened and no one gave a shit
youre asking the wrong guy
i just kind of try not to talk to him too much for reasons
mostly i dont really want to listen to him talk for so long
he exists because their fish queen friend blew them up to preserve their existence
[TEXT]
I SWEAR TO YOU
I WILL PUNCH HIM IN HIS FUCKING FACE.
MORE THAN ONCE MAYBE
BUT AT LEAST THE ONE TIME.
SCREW IT, I'M GOING TO GO TAKE MY SICKLE AND FUCK UP SOME TREES.
[TEXT]
he might talk your hands off
i wouldnt be surprised if he could
maybe tag them for some ridiculous ableist bullshit
not everyone has hands or something fucking dumb like that
woah you okay?
[TEXT]
AND I WANT TO TAKE IT OUT ON SOMETHING THAT CAN ACTUALLY TAKE BEING BEAT ON BY SICKLES.
I DO NOT GIVE ONE SQUEAKBEAST'S FUZZY DERRIERE WHETHER THIS COUNTS AS OKAY OR NOT TO YOU.
WHY DO YOU CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
[TEXT]
am i supposed to not give a fuck?
because i didnt get the memo then
