| So. Woke up this morning to a couple of things. Good news, I'm back in my own body.
[As is probably obvious to everyone when they see his face, which looks too sad for this post to be about the curse being over.]
Bad news, Percy and Annabeth are both gone. Checked the list and everything.
[He pauses to sigh and looks away from the camera for a moment.]
Gotta remind myself that at least they've got each other this time.
[He reaches his hand out to turn off the SFC, his hand blocking the camera as he says one last thing.]
I just wish them being gone didn't mean they're free-falling into Tartarus. |

|  Y'know, I'm starting to figure out why wizards in Ooo are all a bunch of freaks. Having awesome magical werewoof powers? Awesome. [This is Jade and also not Jade. It certainly looks like Jade, but punk rock fashion doesn't really seem like her thing. The overly large leather jacket seems cute on her, 'tho. At least that's what Marceline would say.]
[And yes, she did say 'werewoof'.] Anyone want to get shrunk? Or get bigger? Feelin' pretty generous today, might do it to you anyway if I see ya, heheheheh. Also, Jade, one, I might have updated your wardrobe a little. [You are punk rock tier now, it is you.] Two, don't worry about your boyfriend, I have him in my pocket, it's all cool. |

|  [ In this video, there is a lot of smoke clogging up the view. A smoke detector is going off as well, so there is an annoying beeping throughout the video, or at least until someone goes to turn it off. But even after the person in the video- who looks like Leo, by the way, but is definitely acting different than Leo normally does- also goes and opens a window to let the smoke out of the room.
After taking care of those few tasks, the person in Leo's body finally turns their attention to the SFC.] Okay, Leo? I could really really REALLY use some help right about now. [ As not!Leo says that, a towel in the background spontaneously catches on fire. Then not!Leo lets out a very unmanly scream as they turn to go put out the fire, knocking over the SFC and turning it off in the process.] |
|
| [There's a sound in the background before anyone starts talking, a sound that is almost suspiciously like the loading of a gun. Before anything more ominous happens, though, the noises stop, and a man's voice speaks up.]
Well, this is hella entertaining. They're getting uncreative with their invasive afflictions. You'd think they'd be eager to come up with new and interesting ways to get reactions out of us, instead of rehashing shit they've done before.
For you newbies, it means that this has happened before. At least this time I'm not fucking barking.
This is Dirk, by the way.
[For a few moments, there are some more random sounds- a little mechanical click-click-click, that continues until the recording cuts out.]

| WHAT FOUL AND MERCILESS ENTITY ROLLED OUT OF THE SPECIES APPROPRIATE SLUMBER APPARATUS AND DECIDED TO INVENT TIME WHY, IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS, DID THIS ASSHOLE INSTILL INTO LIVING BEINGS THE CONCEPT OF THINGS HAPPENING BEFORE AND AFTER EACH OTHER AND WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AFFLICTED WITH THIS WHEN I'M NOT EVEN A FUCKING TIME PLAYER. WAS IT NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ENDLESS STABLE TIME LOOPS HOLDING THE SHODDY STICKS AND TWINE OF OUR TIMELINE TOGETHER? WHAT ABOUT THE FLUX OF PEOPLE BACK AND FORTH FROM DIFFERENT SPOTS ALONG THAT LINE LIKE BACKWASH FROM AN ILL-CLEANED MOUTH INTO A SOULMELTING BOTTLE OF FAYGO??? WELL I GUESS THE FUCK NOT, BECAUSE HERE I AM BEING FORCED TO DEAL WITH OVER FIVE YEARS WORTH OF MEMORIES LAID OVER THE TOP OF EACH OTHER LIKE PARADOX SPACE DECIDED TO MAKE A PARTICULARLY AWFUL SANDWICH OUT OF THEM. SAID SANDWICH HAS THEN BEEN FORCE FED DIRECTLY INTO MY THINK PAN I AM OVERSTUFFED WITH RECOLLECTION AND REMEMBRANCE MY BRAIN WOULD VOMIT IF IT WERE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. CONTEMPLATE THAT FOR A MINUTE. OR HOWEVER LONG, I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE UNITS, AND NONE OF IT WILL APPROXIMATE THE SCREAMING HEADACHE CURRENTLY DECIMATING MY CRANIAL UNIT. COULD I NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS IN EASILY DIGESTED PIECES WOULD THAT BE SO FUCKING HARD TO DO. SURE, SEND ME BACK A COUPLE HOURS THAT FIRST TIME, BUT NO! YOU SCIENTIST NOOKMONGERS JUST *HAD* TO GIVE ME THE FULL THREE YEARS. WHO CARES THAT I WAS ALREADY 15 AND A HALF IN EARTH YEARS, I OBVIOUSLY NEEDED THE SQUALID, STULTIFYING EXPERIENCE OF LIVING SOME OF THEM TWICE! PLUS AN EXTRA FEW MONTHS!! SO UNTIL MY SPONGE STOPS TRYING TO CANNIBALIZE ITSELF (ETA: NOT FUCKING SOON ENOUGH), DO NOT EXPECT COHERENCY FROM ME BECAUSE I CANNOT EVEN SORT OUT THE SIMPLE CONCEPT OF "YESTERDAY" FROM THE FESTERING REMAINS OF MY OWN THOUGHT ORGAN. YESTERDAY MEANS TOO MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW. YESTERDAY CAN FRANKLY GO FUCK ITSELF TWICE IN A BRAND NEW ORIFICE I'VE JUST INVENTED FOR IT. ALL I KNOW IS THE LESS I SEE OF POSSESSED PSYCHOPATHS AND THEIR WEAPONIZED CUTLERY, THE BETTER. SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED SINCE I DISAPPEARED AND WHO'S HERE, BECAUSE I CANNOT EVEN CARE TO CHECK THE LIST RIGHT NOW. - Tags:bro strider, dirk strider, eridan ampora, gamzee makara, jade harley, kanaya maryam, karkat vantas, leo valdez, nepeta leijon, rose lalonde, sollux captor, sufferer, the disciple, the dolorosa, the psiioniic, washu hakubi, yotsuba koiwai

| [Mr. D had spent the last week or so confined in his place of residence until the shenanigans around the city calmed down. If anything had happened to him during that time, he wasn't talking about it.
[Now, he is sitting in the park with a deck of playing cards in his hand, flipping them between is fingers expertly to shuffle them as he talks. He's actually bored enough at the moment to request company of others. It's shocking, really.]
If anyone thinks they are up to a fearsome challenge, I have just the game for you. Meet me in the park, and show me what you're made out of. You will be judged harshly on your performance, because I doubt anyone will be able to beat me.
[He fans the cards out to hide his mouth as he speaks his parting lines.]
Don't worry if you aren't familiar with the game. I will train you. Every civilized man should at least learn the basic rules of pinochle.

| UGH!How many times is this going to happen to me!? It is absolutely unacceptable! OOOOH![There's some sputtering and growling on the other screen followed by hooves pitter-pattering on the ground. After a beat, however, the voice stops along with the sound of dripping water as Rarity uses her magic to clean herself up. Ugh. She hates it when her mane gets wet!]Ah. That is much better. [And with that the communicator floats up to eye level so Rarity can properly address everyone watching. Surprisingly, her mane looks just as perfectly curled and shining as ever without any sign she had been soaked.
She's back in her room, it seems, after being brought right back to Vatheon in a huge puddle of water just like the first time, and around her are several rolls of fabrics in all shades and styles, scissors and pins and needles all neatly tucked away into appropriate bins, but most importantly for this broadcast are several different pieces of jewelry scattered on the table.]Now, before I was so rudely interrupted, I was just about to announce my new line of custom and hoof made, one of a kind jewelry~! You see, I managed to get my hooves on a few more beautiful gems for my projects, and I must say my newest creations are most exquisite! Now, as you can see I have completed quite a few different styles of earrings and bracelets, but I can also create necklaces, headpieces, rings, and brooches, just to name a few~ For those of you without pierced ears, I do offer clip on versions of all the designs I make! I'm afraid I will not do the piercing myself as it can be, ahem, quite messy. But nevertheless! For a reasonable amount of starfish tokens depending on the style you specify, I shall be more than willing to take down orders as soon as possible! Beauty should be priceless, but not worth an arm and a hoof~ Let me know if you are interested! There is no task Rarity cannot do~! [~*~*~BEAM~*~*~] |

| [The last thing Percy remembered was taking a really hard fall. A hard that should have ended in darkness and death, but most certainly not anywhere close to any source of water. Lave and instant death, sure, but not this. Or to some weird communicator and a brochure. If anything, this was the nicest welcoming committee he'd seen and that didn't make him any less anxious.
He'd tried reading the brochure. He got some parts of it, but his mind was too wired to make any more sense of it than "Hi,welcome to an underwater city! You're stuck here, have fun."On normal occasions this would be cool, but it's not a normal occasion.
So instead he looks less like his usual troublemaking self and more confused when the Starfish Communicator finds its way on. His ida was get answers real fast and then abandon it, but well...]
Um, yeah. Hi there.
So you'd think I'd be used to this whole being kidnapped thing by now, but just for the questions of one confused kid is there any not text version of this thing. [He means the pamphlet.] Maybe a welcome video? One of these days I'll totally have earned a welcome video--
[A brief pause as he considers before speaking more firmly and less jokingly.] Is there any way to find out who's here? I like playing marco polo, but this important.
--And what are we supposed to be doing here? Admiring the view? I mean it's pretty great, but normally you don't just appear places for no reason. That's normally how it goes.

| So you know how a whole bunch of you guys were acting all batshit and weird last week? Probably under a curse or something. Whatever, I don't give a shit.
[ He smirks and fans himself with what appears to be a stack of photos. ]
And you know how a bunch of you were wearing weirdass outfits and and tights even tighter then anything I'm comfortable wearing? Bet you all'd like to forget that shit ever happened. Well sucks to be you cause I spent the week collecting mother fucking photographic evidence. See?
[ He holds a handful of photos up, grinning like an idiot. ]
I'm willing to sell 'em too if you wanna destroy the evidence once and for all or if you want someone else's so you can mock them forever or whatever. Who's the super villain now, huh?
[ The feed going dead cuts off the last half of his accompanying cackle. ]
