writing tip #4173:

if someone points out you've used a semicolon incorrectly; gaslight them

Speaking of John, this is his birthday present. It is the project that has been taking up all your time lately. And today is the deadline to finish it! [...] The TRANSMATERIALIZER you have been using to ship it back and forth is wired to sync up your flow of time with hers, so it's not like you can just take forever with it, and send to the exact time she needs it - you've thought of that!

Dang, Jake. Where'd you get the inter-Scratch teleporter?

It's unfortunate that Jake wasn't clued-in on Jade's situation, because he might have been able to teleport her entire team right into his house. That'd certainly have been a lot more straightforward than messing with Fourth Walls, and Dave's time machines could circumvent most of the logistical issues introduced by the time-lock.

At some point in the early 20th century, Jade gave this robo-rabbit to John, and then later it must have been wound up back with Jade... somehow? Then she... uh... removed all the robot parts, hung on to it until she was an old woman, and gave it to you?

Jake's confused, because his theories are based on the false assumption that his pen-pal is his grandmother. It's a perfectly reasonable assumption for him to make, but it's poisoning his speculation, and he has no way to correct the error until he's provided with more information.

Welcome to the Homestuck liveblogging experience, Jake English.

There's just one problem! Mr. Kiser here cannot be completed and tested today without a source of power! [...] You have been plundering all of your devices for uranium to refuel the TRANSMATERIALIZER, which requires huge amounts of power any time it sendificates or appearifies the package from the past. Seems to you like excessive energy consumption for just a simple time machine, but what do you know? Unless it's doing something besides shipping it across time.

Fair enough, I suppose - and anyway, this problem will solve itself later. Once you enter the Medium, you'll be able to alchemize as much fuel as you like.

As much as it troubles your pride to admit, this project wouldn't be possible without help from your other two technologically savvy friends. And you are slowly coming to the regrettable conclusion that you will not be able to solve this uranium dilemma without asking for Strider's assistance.

Wh... why does Little Bro have a chunk of uranium.
