caughtinanetwork | [ VIDEO ]

[ Well, if you didn't want to see a close-up of Prince Gumball's ~~pink~~ orchid face for the opening of this video then today is not your lucky day. After exploring the extent of his little ~~pink~~ amaranth iStarfish, figuring out its purpose, trying to get it to play techno music and dying in the first level of a game he found on it, he decided to use it to communicate.

However, he pressed record too quickly and started the video prematurely. After a moment, he pulled it away so the network can be greeted with a more normal shot.

Generally, when Gumball finds himself kidnapped or in another dimension or possessed, Fionna is efficient and heroic enough to save him within a reasonable timeframe. This time, it's been a while so he decides to take matters into his own hands to see what the hold-up is.

He is also feeling a little extra impatient given how...wet the current location is and how his ~~pink~~ salmon rainboots are nowhere in sight. ]

Greetings, citizens of Vatheon! My name is Prince Gumball of the Candy Kingdom. Though my stay thus far has been nice-- [ and he thinks that's being kind ]-- I worry about my subjects back home and their low tolerance for stress. If you could be so kind as to direct me to your nearest ship port or best place to create a wormhole back home, I would be delightfully grateful. Ideally, I'd like to return on the morrow but if one is not available, my previous requests are sufficient.

[ He holds up a wet and sandy towel between his pinched fingers. ]

Also, is there a towel butler around? I'd like to receive a new towel at your soonest convenience, I dropped mine.

[Time to change the subject?]

So how long have you been here? And I've met three of you trolls now - how many of you are there here?

Edited 2013-05-07 16:58 (UTC)

I did, otherwise I wouldn't know to call you your highness.

[Duh.]

How come you're all pink, anyway?

[He was always given to believe that pink was a princess color, which is why Zelda wears a lot of it.]

[He laughs because he was only joking.]

Sounds cool, man. We'll do that sometime soon.

I'm sure we do, like mortal humans do. I've never had any and never asked anyone if they'd had any. So I don't know for sure.

Edited 2013-05-07 21:08 (UTC)

Did I ask you to summon him? If the scientists want to bring him here, they will, and we'll both see what happens then. Until that point, you know my stance.

[He just raises an eyebrow to the explanation.]

Sounds like a sorry excuse for "shitty listener". I already told you what matespritship is, right there, first quadrant. As for the other things, having horns is badass and beats lacking them in every way possible, and I have a so-called Cancer symbol on my shirt because it's my sign, and when my team and I made earth some of our aspects affected it. It doesn't mean Cancer on my planet and is unrelated to the 48 signs of our own zodiac, but I will not explain what it does mean since that's another incredibly long story I have no patience to tell you.

Excellent news! Every last piece of equipment was saved? Will you be reconstructing your lab in a new location or wait for the flooding to go down?

That's what most people are telling me, has it been proven?

Yes! Immediately!

Are there many advantages to being a demigod?

It's my favorite color.

She is queen of the Ice Kingdom which neighbors the Candy Kingdom. She is able to harness the powers of ice to do her evil bidding and capture princes!

I don't fight dragons personally but I do other things in the ruling of my kingdom.

[ SO YOU'LL DO WELL NOT TO JUDGE ME. ]

I guess now would be fine.

We get cool abilities and powers, but we also have lots of problems to go with them. A lot of them are dangerous like monsters and quests we might never return from.

Edited 2013-05-07 22:22 (UTC)

You don't have to be a demigod to go on dangerous quests with monsters though.

I guess not, but Monsters can smell us from who knows how far away and will attack us unless we're at camp. It's got some pretty wicked magical barriers that keeps the monsters out.

[ Wicked magical barriers...?

COLOR ME INTERESTED. ]

Really? Do you know what kind of magic these barriers consist of? How they're made?

[Is that a shade of pink?]

Uh, godly magic, I guess? I don't know much about it except that it works. I know the golden fleece helps with it and we've got a dragon guarding that.

Annabeth would probably be better at explaining it.

[ Tickle Me Interested. ]

Hm. I haven't been properly introduced to Annabeth yet but only one dragon?

One dragon is more than enough.

Well, I'd like to learn more about the forcefield as well as your toolbelt! Sounds like we've got a lot to talk about! You'll also have to tell me more about demigods!

[And the meaning flies right over Shirley's head!]

I apologize, I'm afraid that is the most we can get! However, if you like, there are some jobs available so um...you get some money and I think you're able to buy some stuff from your world in another shop too! I think that might be better?

[But...princes and princesses usually don't like doing a whole lot of work...right?

She never really met a someone of royal blood before so...who knows.]

Yeah, sure. I'm new to a lot of it though so I might not be the best source of information.

Perhaps. It will depend on how long it takes to restore the city to its normal state. In the meantime, I will need some sort of working lab at the very least.

Well, not conclusively, no. Our only evidence that this is the case is based on individuals who have been returned to their worlds, only to be brought back here at a later time. Naturally, we have no way to prove their claims or even if they're technically the same persons, rather than some sort of artificial psychological continuation. Having said that, I tend to support the non-parallel hypothesis, on account of its being consistent with the physics of this dimension that we can observe.

I will have to make do in the meantime until an attractive alternative pops up! If it comes down to it, I'm an excellent knitter and will try to fashion myself a knitted outfit! Hopefully it won't be too warm for sweater clothing.

Have you been here long, mysterious voice?

I am also new!

[ Random enthusiasm!!!! ]

I'm new to the area or else I would offer some space in my LAS'MOREATORY. Are you in the middle of any discoveries that require a temporary lab?

[ He REALLY wishes he could be taking notes on this so that he could develop his own conclusions using charts, 8x10 color glossies with lines, arrows and captions on each one, placebo test groups, flip charts and the scientific method. ]

You've been observing this place for a while, haven't you?

Oh, I didn't know that you know how to knit! That's wonderful, I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a job here and especially when there's so many out there!

[And that she should do something herself..]

Let's see, I've been here for about ... [Oh] a year now? [Has it really been that long?] So if there's any questions you might have, I'll do my best to answer them?

During the fall months, it's usually too warm for a parka but it's too cold to go without anything at all so I knit sweaters for myself a few of my friends. [ And he's pretty good if he does say so himself! ]

I wonder if there are any vacant prince positions...

[ Said as a joke but sort of not really. ]

Thank you for all your help. Most people have been incredibly helpful.
