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!

[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.

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]

well, duh.
didn't you know, jade?
i am just that awesome.
hehehe.

[pranksterheir]

hi, who is this?

[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!

[pranksterheir]

oh, hi, nepeta.
that is true, i do know some of you by your quirks!
but i met a bunch of new trolls right before i came here face to face so i don't know their quirks.
like you!
we didn't really get to talk but i saw you for a little bit before you left with feferi and sollux.

[pranksterheir]

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

[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.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < oooh really??
:33 < what was i doing with fefurry and sollux??
:33 < were we having fun?

[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.

[pranksterheir]

[Oh crap, he isn't sure if she's dead or not...]

you were dressing up in pirate costumes and playing instruments.
you had some maracas.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < h33h33, that sounds pawesome!! :33
:33 < we must have b33n enjoying ourselves

[pranksterheir]

wow, you've been here that long?
that is a long time.
see, i can form complex sentences just fine!
the last thing i remember is seeing you, dave, rose, two other trolls, and a chess guy appearing out of nowhere in front of me.
it was my sixteenth birthday.

[pranksterheir]

you looked like you were having fun.
tavros was there too, and aradia and vriska.
i am not sure if you know who aranea and meenah are?
they were also there.
oh, and sollux, but he fell down the stairs.

[bethehugejerk]

THAT SOUNDS BIZARRE BUT I THINK I CAN PIECE IT TOGETHER FROM WHAT DAVE SAID.
THREE YEAR TRIP, RIGHT?
SO THAT HAS TO BE WHATEVER THAT GRASSY PLANET WAS
MEANING THAT THEY WERE TELEPORTED THERE BY JADE
MEANING WHY THE FUCK WERE THERE ONLY TWO TROLLS BESIDE FUTURE ME?
DESCRIBE THEM, BECAUSE GAMZEE, KANAYA, AND TEREZI SHOULD ALL BE THERE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO'S MISSING.
THAT "CHESS GUY" MUST BE WHOEVER DAVE WAS CALLING THE MAYOR. MORE IMPENETRABLE BULLSHIT BUT COLOR ME UNSURPRISED.

[pranksterheir]

it was the very end of the three year trip.
one of them had a long red skirt and the other one had black pants. they both looked like girls.

[bethehugejerk]

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT GAMZEE, WHY DOES HIS FUTURE SELF MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL.
FIRST AN ABSOLUTELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE TURN OF THE QUADRANTS, AND NOW HE CAN'T EVEN STICK WITH THE GROUP!!!
I GIVE UP.
I WILL STICK WITH MY RELATIVELY SANE IF SOPOR-ADDLED VERSION OF HIM HERE AND BREATHE A QUIET SIGH OF RELIEF THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE UTTER CATASTROPHE HE SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED INTO.
RED SKIRT GIRL IS KANAYA, BLACK PANTS GIRL IS TEREZI.
NOW TELL ME WHAT'S UP WITH JADE BECAUSE DAVE SAID SHE LOOKED POSSESSED.

[pranksterheir]

i did not understand any of that stuff about gamzee but ok.
i thought terezi had fancy glasses because she was blind?
i don't know what's up with jade, the last time i saw her was when i fell asleep on the ship before i went into a dream bubble and she looked the same as always. when i woke up, everyone was gone so i wandered the planet for a little before you guys showed up.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < ive met m33nah here!
:33 < not aranea though
:33 < poor sollux DDX
:33 < was he okay?

[bethehugejerk]

SHE'S NOT BLIND ANYMORE, APPARENTLY, BECAUSE MORE BULLSHIT WITH GAMZEE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE I DON'T UNDERSTAND EITHER.
WE ARE TOGETHER IN A WHIRLING TEACUP ON THE CARNIVAL RIDE OF INCOMPREHENSION.
THE NAUSEA IS THE CHURNING BILE OF RAGE AT THE FUTURE
AND IF EVER I HAVE TO DEAL WITH ONE OF THOSE WRECKS FROM THAT POINT OF THE TIMELINE, I WILL VOMIT FORTH MY INCANDESCENT FURY UNTO THEIR DEFENSELESS SPONGE CLOTS.
GO FIGURE WHEN DAVE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD HIS SHIT TOGETHER ENOUGH FOR ME TO DO THE FRIEND THING WITH, FROM WHAT HE SAID.
AND
I GUESS
THE MAYOR?
I STILL DON'T GET THAT PART.
I'D SAY ASK DAVE ABOUT JADE, BE HE CAN HARDLY TELL ME MORE THAN WHAT I TOLD YOU.
SHE SHOWED UP, SHE LOOKED POSSESSED, SHE TELEPORTED THE GROUP, THE END
AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THEN I GUESS NO ONE DOES AT ALL.
HOW NOOKROTTINGLY WONDERFUL TO KNOW JACK SHIT MORE THAN I STARTED WITH!

[pranksterheir]

is meenah here right now?
yeah, he left with you and feferi later after tavros did.
