hi, everyone!
my name is john egbert and i am jade harley's brother.
i figured i should probably introduce myself even if some of you might have already met me.
i was here before but i don't remember any of it so if you know me and i don't know you anymore, sorry. send me a message so i can get to know you again if you want.
jade's already filled me in on stuff so this is mostly just a hi i am here message.
so...
i am here!

[spacecase]

:33 < john!!
:33 < hi john :33
:33 < do you know me??

[pranksterheir]

hello.
what's your name?
now that i am thinking about it, maybe text was not the best idea.
i can't really recognize people's faces this way.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < its nepeta!
:33 < hmmm, purrhaps not
:33 < but then again you purrobably know a bunch of us only by our quirks!

[Beware the ominous black text, John. Beware that lack of actual effort put into it.]

welcome egbert kid. welcome to the wonderful world of not quite underwater antics.

i trust your mind is prepared to be blown. because shit can get hella confusing around here. its the stuff brainfreezes are made of.

[pranksterheir]

my mind is always prepared to be blown!
but i'm already used to things being confusing.

[stridercentric]

yeah i thought the same fucking thing. then i took a vatheon to the head.

but maybe confusing isnt the right word here. more like complicated. farfetched. a touch of bizarre here and there.

CONSIDER ME ACTUALLY SURPRISED FOR ONCE.
YOU HAVE HAD THE FORESIGHT TO ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE WHAT THIS PLACE IS FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT, THUS SPARING ME THE EXPERIENCE OF TRYING TO EDUCATE YOU (AGAIN), AND ELEVATING YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF A SACK OF YOUR OWN RIDICULOUS HAMMERS.
MAYBE YOU'LL ACTUALLY STICK AROUND FOR MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS THIS TIME.

[pranksterheir]

[Even after reading stuff on Dave's post, he still can't help but to grin widely at the familiar gray text. He missed Karkat.]

hi, karkat.

[bethehugejerk]

[And here Karkat was setting in to be a bit surly and standoffish, as often as John comes and goes without a memory of anything here. But you know what? Friendship is his biggest weakness, even more than shitty romance movies. He missed John, too, even if it hasn't been as long without him.]

YOU COULD GIVE ME MORE THAN A HI, DINGUS, OR HAVE THE YEARS OF SHIPBOUND INANITY STRIPPED YOU OF THE ABILITY TO FORM MORE THAN A FEW COMPLEX SENTENCES PER DAY.
WHAT HAPPENED FOR YOU LAST?
I'VE BEEN HERE TWO EARTH YEARS AND FIVE MONTHS EXACTLY, THOUGH THEY GRABBED ME OUT OF THE TIMELINE BEFORE THE MAGICAL METEOR SPACEDOUCHERY BONANZA STARTED.
I AM, HOWEVER, ABOUT AS CAUGHT UP ON THAT END AS I CAN HOPE TO BE
AND I'VE HEARD BITS AND PIECES ABOUT YOUR TRIP HERE AND THERE.
IF YOU EVEN ARE FROM THAT LATE
IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME THE SCIENTISTS DECIDED TO GO BACKWARDS ABOUT IT.

[beatdownremix]

dude where the hell are you
sounds like you got off easier than i did on the wtf department if you got jade to help you out so fast
then again the whole teleporting thing
not to mention this place is pretty damned small in comparison so flyings not that hard either
but thats kind of not the point here
point is answer the question egbert

[pranksterheir]

[Just like Karkat, he can't help but smile brightly when he sees the familiar red text, even if he's still feeling a little nervous.]

hi, dave.
i am on the beach with jade.
i sent her a message and asked her to come meet me, that's why.

[beatdownremix]

why the fuck did you send her a message and not a word to me?
youd think you would have gotten enough of her from the whole three year trip thing
come on seriously dude
leaving a bro hanging like that isnt cool
its like youre ashamed of me or something
is that it john
are you ashamed of me
are you ashamed of me being your best bro like welp better call my ecto sis first just gonna leave this cool dude hanging
not gonna say hi or anything just gonna say sup im here to everyone else
like theres not a really awesome dude waiting to meet you or anything

[timebender]

hello john

[pranksterheir]

hello!

[timebender]

[And then..]

A triumphant return.
Damn, kids from our universe set are just popping back up all over the place.
Can't say we were close, but we're friends by acquaintance.
Since I could be considered Dave and Davesprite's Bro.
