alright so just kind of chilling here on the beach instead of some underwater city this info guide talks about
and you know thatd be kind of cool if it werent for one major issue
what the fuck just happened
seriously i think i just got whiplash from trying to figure out where that five minutes went so wrong
i mean the first time i got teleported randomly at least it wasnt just me
landed right on my ass confused as hell but i wasnt the only one
its easier to sit there and look like a tool when youre in a group trying to figure out what the hells going on
its lame to lay on a beach alone looking like a tool getting wet sand in places sand doesnt need to be

read over the whole welcome thing so ok cool i get it
stranger shit has happened i guess so why the fuck not
moving on to try and be somewhat productive here
sup names dave
tell me theres someone that knows me here cause itll make this shit a lot easier
or worse
idk i guess well see
like id say something is better than nothing but i can think of a lot of cases where that wouldnt really be true
so for better or worse i guess
isnt there like a saying or something that knowings half the battle
does that apply to this situation?
well it does now because i say so

technicalities get confusing and i could probably find a way to argue that point but youre the third one ive seen so well roll with that
cant really say im glad to be back because i dont even know what i missed but i guess its better than the neck deep shit i was just in
id ask what kind of name sufferer is if i didnt stop questioning trolls a long time ago

i wouldnt mind taking him back and you could have visiting rights or something
wouldnt want to rip the birdy away from you permanently or anything if you went and bonded with him for so long

[He'd probably just give Bro a big hug and tell him how much Dave looks like him. Yeah, fight that, buddy... just try and be mean to Sufferer. It can't be done.]

[It brings up a lot of feelings in Dirk, seeing that text on his screen. But it's not as intense as the first time, not really. For one, Dave isn't wandering randomly into his house, completely unexpected.

For another, he's met Dave and Davesprite both. And while they're still alternate versions of his Bro, he knows they aren't the same. They're just about his age, even if staying in Vatheon has added a few months to that time. Dave's got his bro here, he doesn't need to get torn up over Dirk.

So Dirk just takes a breath, and responds.]

As I'm sure you've found, there are more people who know you than who you know.
Everyone gets to sit around like a tool wondering what the fuck just happened, so don't feel too bad about losing your special snowflake privileges.
The sand is the welcoming gift this time around, but if you want to shun beach tradition, we've got ourselves a quaint little village going on.

I have not checked if there are wild pokemons around. Maybe? I know there are trainers here, and some pokemon left behind from when their owners left.

...If that's the case then, I sure hope they were rescued from the bubble. But I have a good feeling that they were, I mean people went back for the chocobos.

Dude, there are so many different people here it will blow your mind. I am friends with a guy that is half demon, and he is an exorcist as well! And his classmates are here, too, one of them has been teaching me about Buddhism. [She pulls back the collar of her shirt for a moment to show him the jade (hurr) prayer beads she's been wearing since Bon gave them to her.]

Dave. Dave. Bugs Bunny is here. [That's clearly the most important part.]

[Okay actually, you know what.]

the quests still going you know.

[It doesn't take much to put two and two together and figure out who this is, and if he wasn't already warned he'd probably be having another minor panic attack over this. Too many Striders that aren't versions of him, he's not sure how to deal with this.]

i remember you
saw you in a dream bubble a long while back

[When he had to grab teen mom. But that seems like an awkward thing to say, so he's just gonna not go there. And pray that Dirk was too busy then to see how much shit he flipped at the time.]

id say im pretty sure i can take the cake for the wtf is going on meter
one sec i was on a meteor wondering how the hell we were going to stop it while passing through your session
since apparently three years and we never bothered to look into that little detail
the next jade appears out of no where looking scary as a motherfuck
next second were all in a pile at johns feet on a grassy land
then bam on my ass on a beach
pretty sure that all took place within the span of like
three minutes

[The idea of wild pokemon is certainly one of interest, fuck he wants an Eevee now too. And the Buddhism thing, well, if she likes it then whatever. But it's what she says last that gets to him. Really hits home and he has to take a sec to realize he heard her right.]

Holy shit, really? Like, actual Bugs Bunny?

[This world really does bring in people from all over, holy shit.]

I'm serious! If you were to walk into a room and ask for the real Bugs Bunny to please stand up, he would totally stand up!

Remind me to try that later.

[Because seriously. That's pretty fucking sweet.]

THE GUIDE IS ACCURATE FOR NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES BUT NOT THE CURRENT SITUATION, AS YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY TELL.
THE UNDERWATER CITY HAS A CRACK IN THE BARRIER AND IS BEING FLOODED, SO WE'RE STUCK UP HERE UNTIL THAT GETS FIXED.
YOU HAVE BEEN HERE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, THE MEMORY LOSS IS NORMAL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
WHAT'S THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU BACK IN OUR CORNER OF REALITY
BECAUSE HEADS UP: EVERYONE'S FROM DIFFERENT POINTS OF THE TIMELINE HERE.

:33 < mine is gr33n! :33
:33 < i havent had him very long but we get along purretty well!

:33 < you do?!
:33 < thats pawesome!!
:33 < h33h33 i should have known youd save the day daddy X33

yeah i managed to catch that much and that blows pretty hard core
meaning both about the popped barrier and the whole in and out and not remembering a damned thing
i want to say that it would be more important of me to check where the fuck youre from first
because some serious shit was going down with us last i checked and not sure how many spoilers i should give on that front

thats cool
just how many damned colors do these things come in
and do the different colors mean different abilities here or is it just to make them look pretty

AS BEST I UNDERSTAND IT, I'M KARKAT'S ANCESTOR ON OUR OWN TIMELINE, BUT IN A DIFFERENT TIMELINE, OUR ROLES ARE REVERSED AND HE'S MY ANCESTOR. SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ANYWAY.

SUFFERER IS THE NAME I WAS GIVEN AFTER I DIED.

I WOULD LIKE THAT. GAME BRO IS A GOOD CHOCOBO AND I'D LIKE TO COME SEE HIM SOMETIMES.

[The plot thickens.]

HELLO, MYSTERIOUS STRANGER!

ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT IN A TEXT POST BY DAVE, YOU MIRACULOUSLY SHOW UP, AND THEN WORRY ABOUT HIS EATING HABITS? IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU CARE ABOUT HIM OR SOMETHING.

yeah sounds about right
fyi youre like a million times more preferable to other you
wouldnt get near that asshole if someone paid me
so not worth it
kind of sucks to get stuck with such a shitty name but i guess if youre going by it you dont mind all that much

he sounds like a pretty cool chocobo
which of course if he was mine is an undeniable fact because all striders are cool by default
but yeah you can feel free to see him whenever you want
least i can do for you taking care of him and all while im gone

wow no. that is none of your fucking business.

[He spends a lot of time contemplating it, wondering if he should or not or if he should just play it off still like he has been. But fuck it. After a while he doesn't give a damn as much anymore. Okay, so he cares a little otherwise he wouldn't bother putting it to private but whatever.]

hey bro

im glad youre here
youve got no idea

[Bro spends a good couple of seconds staring at that message. It's not the message itself that gets him, so much as how long it took for that message to be sent in the first place. Either it was added as an afterthought or a lot of thought went into it. He's spent enough time with Davesprite to suspect that it's the latter option.

In the end, he needs to retype his response like five times before its sent, but even then it doesn't feel right.]

ditto bro.

im fucking glad this place is a thing.

[It's always harder than it should be to find words for them, emotion really isn't his strong point and he knows it's not Bro's either. But damned if he doesn't want to try.]

yeah

so are you from after a certain time point or were you just told about it

[Because he can't bring himself to outright ask if he remembers dying or not.]

[This is so not something Bro wants to discuss right now, but... Well, he'd better get the elephant out of the room and address the matter, seeing as he can't pretend it's not sitting right there on his couch forever. The elephant, that is.]

after.

JUST MAKING AN OBSERVATION.

[He wants to talk about this as little as possible, but at least that gets out of the way what he doesn't have to say himself. There's a whole lot of other shit he doesn't want to say either, but it might need to be said.]

did the other me tell you anything about it

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KANKRI? IT ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE YOU AND KARKAT... DIDN'T REALLY GET ALONG, EXACTLY, BUT HAD A WORKING RELATIONSHIP.

HE'S A VERY COOL CHOCOBO.
THANKS, DAVE. MAYBE WE CAN HANG OUT TOO, IF YOU'D LIKE THAT.
