[ VIDEO ] - [ Hydrogen ]

[ 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.

[Percy is smiling. He finds Gumball amusing.]

I'd think the taffy people would be better with stress than the others.

[Karkat appears on screen, grey and horned and probably not all that weird given what Prince Gumball must be used to, but altogether unamused. His eyebrows are dropped low above narrowed eyes. His mouth is a crooked frown, overbite digging into his lower lip. He asks, voice plain:]

Are you fucking with me?

Can't say like I'm any sort of motherfuckin' butler, but you still need a towel, bro?

[Gumball might be prince of candy kingdom, but living with two Zahhaks makes Gamzee duke of the duchy of fluffy white towels. And he's be more than eager to share.]

[Angelo can't believe someone like this is a prince. Well, he's seem far worse princes back home with Princess Charmles.]

Sorry to inform your royal gumballness, but you won't be leaving any time soon.

Prince?

[because other royalty will always get Eridan's attention.]

Also, no need to worry, your subjects don't ewen realize you're missin'. For all the time we spend here, it's like we're not ewen gone back in our own uniwerse.

[A pause.]

But, seriously? Candy Kingdom? Are you ewen real royalty, or is this some pretend fakey fake shit.

[Because.. Candy Kingdom...]

[Did Equius watch this post? No. Does he have any idea who Prince Gumball is? No. Does he have every intention of behaving like a perfect gentletroll and proving that not all trolls are like Karkat? Why, yes. Yes, he does.]

Hello, and welcome to Vatheon. I'm Equius Zahhak, and I've been here for quite some time now, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Um, actually, there isn't any way to get back to your world or anyone's really. I'm sorry to have to tell you that, Your Highness.

[And he does look sorry.]

But you don't need to worry about your subjects I don't think. Time doesn't pass outside here so if you do get sent home then it'll be lie you never left.

[At least, that's what he's been told. He's not sure if the coral has to do with that process too though, so time could very well be passing on their own worlds again, but there's no need to scare this prince guy.]

[...Huh]

I'm afraid if you want a new towel, you will need to go to a marketplace. Although, I think there should be a nearby building in the Plaza that provides some...

They should have some new clothes too though!

[Leo looks like he's hopped up on vats of caffeine.]

You're really made from gum? Like all of you? Are your teeth made from white chiclets?

[Well, Tech did say that he would be back in touch--or something like it, anyway. Now seemed as decent a chance as any.]

Oh, it's you. I'm sorry for having to cut our last conversation short. I was dealing with some very...personal matters. I imagine that you've already been barraged by claims to the effect of "leaving on your own is impossible," but I doubt that anyone has actually taken the time to elaborate on the mechanics of this dimension, in parallel to your own.

I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about with regards to your, uh, candy people.

[ Annabeth's eyes grow wider and wider as she listens to this post, then as she eavesdrops on what is unmistakably her boyfriend talking to the strange candyman. ]

So let me get this straight. You can create wormholes and you're made of candy? [ He's almost an insult to physics but Annabeth manages to hold her tongue on that one. ]
