ROXY: *She didn't shut her computer, rather simply stepping away from the cabinet in order to fiddle with the door again, knocking once in warning before opening Jane's door* boogaboogaboo

JANE: *sitting on her bed, she was prepared for something like that, so she only jumped a little bit. and that little bit was a tiny hop to get a good angle to toss a spoon at roxy's chest*

ROXY: *solid toned squeaking noise*

ROXY: im hit

ROXY: im hiiiiiiiit

ROXY: *clutches her chest and spins into the room, dying noises abound as she bumbles over to fake die on the end of her bed*

JANE: Target has been hit! Mission success! *reaches down to mess up roxy's hair*

ROXY: *flappy hands and giggles* hey hey hey ur gonna dent my do

JANE: Oh sorry, little lady. *smooths it out a bit* Wait. No, I'm not. *ruffles it again*

ROXY: noooo *rolls towards her as if that's actually some escape tactic, shielding her head* if u kill me now youll never get your super official mission orders via the leadership council

JANE: *her hands stop moving as she gasps dramatically* Darn it. If I don't get my orders, the council will think that I have betrayed them. I'll never regain their trust. *crosses her arms* Very well, then. Speak, you scoundrel!

ROXY: *pushes herself to sit on her knees, fixing her hair* yeah thats right *chicken nod*

ROXY: ok so

JANE: *uncrosses her arms to pay attention for real tho*

ROXY: friska the pirate lass has a theory about how to get back their dead friend and that involves finishin the other two games asap

ROXY: aaaaaand i sorta volunteered you to play one >3<

ROXY: with john!

ROXY: also rose :'''}

JANE: Oh! Roxy, how do you know I'll even be good at whatever game you've volunteered me for?

ROXY: i have a HUNCH

ROXY: i been gettin them lately

ROXY: theyre usually right

ROXY: but

ROXY: i volunteered you for st mystere

ROXY: it sounds not so bad?

JANE: St Mystere. *her eyes shine a little* No, I was wrong to doubt. That sounds perfect.

ROXY: OuO

ROXY: whatcha thinkin air crocker

JANE: What do you think I'm thinking? Mystere, Roxy. Mystery. A new case.

ROXY: B)

ROXY: thats why i volunteered u bruh

ROXY: you are welcome

JANE: You're so good to me.

ROXY: even tho u throw spoons at me

ROXY: u got my boob 8(

JANE: Aw, you poor thing. In my defense, you tried to half scare me.

ROXY: FINE my boob can take a hit in repentance

ROXY: oh hey check out my cup

ROXY: *takes out the ring cup*

JANE: Your what? *oh that* What in the world is that for?

ROXY: *shakes it* rings!

ROXY: im the ring bearer

ROXY: im going to take them all to mordor

ROXY: and buy legs

ROXY: 8)

JANE: *she opens her mouth and takes a breath as if to speak, more than once. after maybe four tries, she closes her mouth and blinks a lot.* You lost me.

ROXY: 8(

ROXY: ok

ROXY: man shit how long has it been since u talked to anybody about whats goin down

ROXY: frickychicky am i a bad informant

ROXY: okok *wiggleshift*

ROXY: these rings *dumps them out* count as currency

JANE: *gives her a kinda innocent "oops" smile*

JANE: Okay.

ROXY: u win them in games and blahdeeblahdeeblah theyre worth the monies and SO

ROXY: scarfy and pirate lass went into that divine destination game

ROXY: and they found a counter apparently where pirate lass bought her ARM and also half her face back

ROXY: i had given them like 18 rings and then they apparently won enough there themselves to do that

JANE: *fascinated wide eyes*

ROXY: now that they know its in there we wanna get these two games done and get enough rings to buy tavros a wheelchair

ROXY: so he can go in and get da legs B)

JANE: That's a really good idea. Wow. I can't believe there's actual effective teamwork happening right now.

ROXY: ikr?

JANE: But wait, what does that have to do with getting the dead troll back?

ROXY: pirate lass thinks shes actually in the first game

ROXY: the one dirk played

ROXY: and we gotta finish the other two before goin back?

ROXY: multitaskin woop

JANE: Huh. Alright.

ROXY: yeah u would think maybe the dead troll would be in the last game listed but

ROXY: they already went into that

ROXY: and this place obviously aint above bein sneaky

JANE: Which was the last one? Divine something?

ROXY: divine destinaton i think

ROXY: it was a dressup game ovo

JANE: That sounds like somewhere they would-- Oh. Oh my goodness.

JANE: There's a dressup game in here?

ROXY: hell yeah man

ROXY: there is evidence of cool fuckin clothes in there

JANE: Roxy, we need to play that game.

ROXY: we do

ROXY: we dooooooooooooo

ROXY: we can do that after we get the super important stuff done

JANE: Of course.

JANE: When are we starting?

ROXY: for u? whenever john talks to rose i guess

ROXY: idk how much longer these poor people can wait >.<

ROXY: youre cool to play tho? ur PUMPED? :D?

JANE: Wonderful. I can't wait to get started! You know I

JANE: 've never been one for video games, but a mystery game sounds like plenty of fun.

ROXY: yeeee *claps hands* i wish u the best of luck

ROXY: let there be no frothy apes

JANE: *her face falls to apprehension* Frothy apes?

ROXY: *excalibur face*

ROXY: i went to a family reuinion!

ROXY: we took a vacation to the scenic location where temple run is apparently produced

JANE: Uh-huh...

JANE: That sounds kind of... terrible.

ROXY: i ran from rabid monkeys jane

ROXY: rabid monkeys

ROXY: on a gimpy leg

ROXY: which im p sure has an indefinite dent in it?

ROXY: point blank

ROXY: dont be like me janey *hands on arms*

ROXY: dont be like me.......

JANE: *face of horror, and then smacks roxy's arm* Why did you go in there with your injury?

ROXY: :c

ROXY: i didnt know itd be a runnin game

ROXY: i tried convincing dirk not to but he wanted to rush into it and i went to supervise

JANE: Ohhhh, that fuddy duddy. He thinks he's so clever in his plans. And then he goes running into a game he doesn't know anything about.

ROXY: hence my urge to supervise

JANE: *sighs* I can't be too upset with you, then. At least you made it out okay. Does your leg still hurt?

ROXY: nope *wiggles it* i mean if i press on it or whatever its like i bruised the bone but its 10x better

ROXY: nuff about me tho

ROXY: you havent been in here the whole time have you /:

JANE: *smiles and nods upon hearing that she's feeling better, but quickly stops at the quesiton* Of course I haven't! I've been eating and showering appropriately. I am slightly offended.

ROXY: i gotta check!! some people are apparently bein hermits

JANE: Ew. I hope body odor doesn't travel in space.

ROXY: well i also meant have u been chattin anybody up at all?

ROXY: aaaaanyone?

ROXY: sides me?

JANE: Oh. Well. Not really. John, Jade, Jake, and I met up and talked some. We were going to play a game together, but Jake seems to have disappeared since then.

ROXY: he uhh

ROXY: aint disappeared rly

ROXY: have u looked at the board at all either,,,,

ROXY: bc hes in cornland o_O

JANE: N... No. I don't have a whole lot of reason to look at it. *shrugs eheh...*

ROXY: oop

ROXY: yeah i? thought he might have m...eant to do that....probs?

ROXY: hopefully...

JANE: I'd like to give him that much credit. But... you know. Hoo hoo.

ROXY: :T

JANE: *clears her throat* Sorry. You know how he is. I'm just saying.

ROXY: oh no no that was my agreeing face

ROXY: my reluctant sad agreement

JANE: Oh. Yeah. *exasperated sigh*

ROXY: *also sighs*

JANE: I hope he gets out of there soon.

ROXY: yeah me too

ROXY: what game were u guys gonna play?

JANE: Actually, I think we were going to play Divine Destination.

ROXY: oooooo hey u lil shit goin to play the fashion game w/o me

ROXY: well now u know its a fashion game

JANE: Yeah! Gosh. You act like I would have done it on purpose.

JANE: After we do all the serious stuff, though, we can play it together.

ROXY: ye:'>

ROXY: *flops on air crocker*

JANE: *little "oof" sound*

ROXY: *yoooou are the one i can freeely snuggle*

JANE: *i'm used to it. remember the generic girly pillow fight we snuggled through the whole night after that*

ROXY: *fond memories*

JANE: *mostly fond. i never told you about that one thing did i. haha... it's better if you don't know*

ROXY: *WHAT*

JANE: *thank god the telepathic conversations aren't for real. cause you'd probably be super upset about the fact that the nasty green fucker was watching us.*

ROXY: *OH GOD OH GOD? OH GOD*

JANE: *and this is why it's better if i never say anything about it*

ROXY: *its better to flop here in comfy silence and not think about that lil green fuckass*

JANE: *it's true. just the concept of his existence makes everything worse*

ROXY: *zzzzzzzz*

JANE: *i think londe 1 has fallen asleep on me*

ROXY: *sn0re DROooOOOoolll snOOREEEEEEE*

ROXY: *whatever that commentary actually is*

JANE: *you are ruining my best skirt here. le sign.*

ROXY: *and thus this continues till one of them gets pestered*

[tatougunarchy]

ROXY: *after that little unexpected debacle, Roxy descended back down the escalators slowly, seeing as that's how fast they moved and she had chosen to sit on a step and let it carry her. Limping back into the "lobby," she spots Jane at the holoboard and sighs quite the sigh*

ROXY: and now theres ppl here

ROXY: fantastico

JANE: *whips around to see her battered friend coming down* What in the heck, Roxy? *rushes over to meet her* What happened?

ROXY: oh nothin just got attacked by a rabid bed eatin gremlin

ROXY: fuck *hisses a little bit; that kick did a number on her shin.* can we go like siddown somewhere

JANE: Wh-What? *pulls roxy's arm over her shoulder to support her like just a tiny bit as much as she can being five whole inches shorter* Yeah, I guess we can go to my room. *dial fiddle, door open, sit your broken butt down*

ROXY: *gratefully allows her friend to support her, free arm wrapped around herself again. Once she had the opportunity to sit down, she did, climbing onto Jane's bed to lie back and groan with exasperation more than anything*

ROXY: remind me not to give too many ppl the benefit of the doubt

JANE: *sits on the side of the bed, face covered in confusion* Roxy, tell me what happened.

ROXY: *heaves a heavy sigh* ok so

ROXY: i go out lookin for some food stuffs right and i found this other room on the dial

ROXY: there IS food in there ill show u in a min if u want but there was also a tiny clown in there

JANE: Not /that/ tiny clown?

ROXY: oh no

ROXY: it was THAT tiny clown

JANE: Oh god.

ROXY: yeeeeah and i dunno i told him about the holoboard out there and he flipped his fuckin lid

ROXY: bout his intel and shit and he started keysmashin *gestures in the air* so i tried gettin him to stop and he thinks itd be a good idea to punch me off the side of fuckin space

JANE: Oh my god!

ROXY: yeah rite???? jesus

ROXY: be honest am i bruised up or *goes to lift her shirt and peer at her stomach*

JANE: *peeks at hte belly* Shucks, it doesn't look great. But it isn't so bad! You'll be better in no time, I'm sure.

ROXY: oh yeah im sure of that

ROXY: i aint gonna let no lil midget clown beat me up

JANE: I'm not going to let a little shrimpy clown beat you up, either.

JANE: I wonder if there are any first aid supplies around here.

ROXY: i dunno if i actually need anythin anyways i just gotta take a mo and recalibrate the ol guns

JANE: Maybe, but it would be a good idea to have it in case anything worse happens later.

ROXY: i keep feelin like we gotta play for even the lil things

ROXY: but idk maybe theres somethin in the room i found

ROXY: also maybe theres tissues in there *theres purple nose blood on her hand ACK*

JANE: You're probably right. *scrunches up her face at the blood* Gross.

JANE: Do you want me to go look?

ROXY: i can come with u *goes to sit up again*

JANE: Not so much. *puts a hand on her shoulder*

ROXY: :(

ROXY: siiiiign

JANE: You only just got down to rest.

JANE: I'll go.

ROXY: fine *pouty face, but she is sort of glad to just lay down. And there's no clowny danger to be afraid of!*

JANE: Good. *pats roxy's head and says in a teasing baby voice* Now you stay here, and I'll be riiiight back.

ROXY: *swats a hand at her, but drapes it across her forehead to sigh* when will my waifu return from the war

JANE: Your waifu will return in no time at all. Tee tee eff enn. *out she goes, to check in that place for the things. she's gone for a couple minutes, trying to understand what things are and stuff. she eventually does come back with soft napkins and a couple of plums.* Sorry, there are more symbols to sift through than I thought there would be.

ROXY: *when Jane leaves, Roxy closes her eyes for a bit to actually gauge how he feels. Her stomach and shin were going to be purple in no time, she was sure, and the hand that he had been prying at was bound to be joining them. Awesome. Really. She looks up when Jane comes back, reaching for the napkins she had*

ROXY: its cool its cool

ROXY: i see u found the fruit bowl

JANE: *hands them over, biting into one of the plums and smiling* Mhmm. *swallows* They're very purple, maybe you can pretend you bit his ear off. *holds it out in offering*

JANE: *the one she didn't bite. yeah*

ROXY: *makes her eyes wide in exaggerated zeal* gimmie gimmie *takes it, marveling it before taking a bite*

ROXY: fucker made me drop my apple

ROXY: >:c

JANE: What a jerk. *giggles quietly tho cause roxy is cute when she's like that. good bffsie.*

ROXY: *best bffsie* its ok tho i took care of him

JANE: I'm glad. Hopefully he won't cause too much more trouble. *nom*

JANE: But if he does-- *oops juice dribble laugh swallow face wipe*

JANE: If he does, we can take care of him.

ROXY: *snicker snorts at her* nice job

ROXY: i somehow doubt he could cause trouble from the land of corn and more corn

JANE: The land of corn? *bemused smile*

ROXY: i may or may not have sparta kicked him into a farming sim??????

JANE: You...

JANE: You are crazy.

ROXY: you are correct

ROXY: he had CRAZY EYES man

ROXY: thought a trip to the countryside would do him some good

ROXY: blue skies green grass and a shit ton of veggies to soothe the tiny angry beast

JANE: I can only imagine. *plops back down on her bed* Now we just have to worry about you getting better.

ROXY: im okay seriously

ROXY: i can still do stuff

JANE: Well yeah, but you're still hurt.

ROXY: myeeeh

ROXY: *bites plum*

JANE: So don't do too much, or you'll make it worse.

ROXY: yeah i guess ur right

JANE: *more plum yum, stares at it while chewing*

JANE: You know, I didn't see a trash can or anything in there.

ROXY: eh?? ok so then what do u think we need to do with our trash

ROXY: u think it just poofs

JANE: I don't know. *hums in consideration* If they don't, though, we can use it for a good laugh or two. *silly smileeee*

ROXY: *eyebrow raise* orly

JANE: Yeah. We just need the right target and good timing.

ROXY: OvO

ROXY: is ur pranksters gambit risin

JANE: Maybe just a little bit. Hoo hoo hoo.

ROXY: do tell do tell *wagglebrows* i will be ur bonnie

ROXY: ur clyde bc u have a stache

JANE: You make a good point.

JANE: *strokes her invisible stache*

ROXY: gasp

ROXY: u dont have ur actual stache do u

ROXY: oh no

ROXY: oh nooooo

JANE: *pouts* No. That's gone too.

JANE: *pops the plum pit into her mouth to suck it dry while she sulks about her facial hair*

ROXY: *throws her own plum pit into 'space' because either way maybe they can see if it poofs since its garbage to her now*

ROXY: this is bullshit

ROXY: u can punch me in the gut and u can eat my bed

ROXY: but u cant mess with the crockerstache

ROXY: not that he specifically messed with ur stache

ROXY: but these are all things that seem to come w/ the atmosphere

JANE: *almost chokes on the pit because she started laughing again, but spits it out into her hands*

ROXY: (ew gurl)

JANE: You're right, this is all a bunch of hooey. *thumps her chest to cough a little*

JANE: (Don't you ew me, you made me laugh.)

ROXY: you alright?? *laughs and pats her knee* please dont choke to death laughin at my jokes i cant be responsible for that

JANE: Hoo hoo. I'm fine, I'm fine. *follows roxy's example and throws the pit*

JANE: I guess if we want to know what happens to it, we should look after we toss.

ROXY: we should *sighs* maybe in a minute

JANE: A minute sounds fine. *wipes her hands on her skirt before putting here weight on them to lean back*

ROXY: *hums, closing her eyes and crumpling the napkin in her hand* oop better idea *just tosses the napkin onto the floor closer to them*

ROXY: now we dont have to travel

JANE: Oh, very nice. *stares at the newly discarded napkin*

JANE: *stare with me, roxy.*

ROXY: *rolls onto jane's lap to stare at the napkin*

ROXY: (is it showin any signs of poofitude)

JANE: (It isn't. How long do you think it will take?)

ROXY: (maybe we have to forget about it and stop carin)

ROXY: (for then it is truly trash)

JANE: (I guess. But if we forget, how will we know to remember in order to check for its existence?)

ROXY: (that ................ is a good question)

JANE: (This experiment is proving difficult.)

ROXY: (i cant look away jane)

JANE: (Neither can I. How can we escape?)

ROXY: *shimmies to lie flat with her head on jane's lap and look up at her, reaching to take her face in her hands clumsily.* look into my honorable eyes

ROXY: you

ROXY: must

ROXY: trust

ROXY: me

ROXY: *brock face*

JANE: *looks into her eyes, truly unresponsive for a moment. but then her cheeks puff out and she's supressing the laughter as much as she can as she looks into those honorable eyes*

ROXY: *she can't stay like this forever without laughing, they both break at about the same time and roxy collapses into giggles*

ROXY: im not meant to brock

JANE: No. You aren't. *covers her own face to wipe at laughing tears* I can't believe!

ROXY: CAN stop the brock

ROXY: *holds her own face also*

JANE: *snorts rather loudly* MUST stop the brock

ROXY: the brock will destroy every major city on the coast if we dont formulate an elaborate brockombative plan

JANE: *snorts again* What does that even meant? Brockombative?

ROXY: BROCK mixed with COMBATIVE

ROXY: broc-ombative

JANE: Oh. *flops back against the blanket* You really are crazy.

ROXY: imagine if i hadda type it out for u to read i mean thatd be a nightmare but i just said it out loud so

ROXY: *looks into the camera like shes on the office*

JANE: Thank goodness that didn't happen.

JANE: *also looks into camera like she's on the office*

ROXY: *theres a minute where thats all there is, camera staring, before roxy pulls herself off jane's lap and squirms up to lie parallel with her, sighing* do u think itd be overly pertinent to tell some trolls whats up with honky mcgoo or

ROXY: should we just let em like

ROXY: slowly find out themselves

JANE: He's pretty dangerous, but aren't they kind of friends? They could probably deal with it.

ROXY: yeeeeeah people find shit out real fast round here where there is hardly a grapevine to go thru

ROXY: u kno on account of us havin like 2 rooms to go thru

JANE: Honestly.

ROXY: this rly is such bull i hope we get to customize this shit eventually

JANE: *blows a nonexistent hair out of her face* If we can play for something as important as someone's life, maybe we can play for less significant things too.

JANE: Make ourselves more comfortable in this nasty place.

ROXY: yeah im willin to bet theres tons of shit we can play for like

ROXY: if it runs outta prizes what then

JANE: Maybe we could play for a bowl of our favorite cereal.

ROXY: gaspppppp

ROXY: id kill for some cinnamon toast crunch like u dont even know

JANE: Mmmm. Honey bunches of oats.

JANE: *closes her eyes and sighs* Yum.

ROXY: ok but captain crunch

JANE: Oh, no. Peanut butter crunch.

ROXY: trix

JANE: Count Chocula.

ROXY: rice krispes

JANE: Booberry.

ROXY: cheeri-fuckin-os

JANE: Frosted. Mini. Wheats.

ROXY: *gasp* /raisin bran/

JANE: Chex cereal!

ROXY: no way

JANE: Yes way.

ROXY: now i want cereal 8(

JANE: Me too...

JANE: *covers her face again*

JANE: Why did we do this?

ROXY: bc ur a cruel temptress

JANE: What a horrible decision.

ROXY: i blame you entirely

JANE: I mournfully accept this blame.

ROXY: what do u have to say for urself

JANE: I'm only mostly sorry.

ROXY: thatll have to do

JANE: Thank you.

ROXY: *there's a silence*

ROXY: wanna play i spy

JANE: *stares up at the nothing for a bit*

JANE: Yeah, okay.

ROXY: i spy w/ my little eye something black

JANE: Is it space?

ROXY: cheater

ROXY: ok go

JANE: So not cheating.

ROXY: no it was space

ROXY: go go

JANE: Oh my goodness, you don't make sense.

JANE: I spy, with my little eye, something...

JANE: Empty.

ROXY: is it space

JANE: You got it.

ROXY: amazin

JANE: Your turn.

ROXY: *and thus this continues for probably over an hour*

JANE: *and then they play twenty questions for another more than an hour*

ROXY: *these babes sure know how to kill time*

JANE: *well they did contribute to the killing of the lord of time, i'd say they've had practice*

ROXY: * ;) *

[tatougunarchy]

*When you arrive in the hub, something is different: Where previously there was nothing there now floats before you, as if affixed to an invisible wall, a sizable chart inscribed with all the names of the members of your party, along with a great many numbers. What could they all possibly mean?*

ROXY: *upon leaving the room with jane and turning her head, she jerks back a little bit in surprise* whoa nelly

ROXY: *time to jog over*

JANE: Oh, goodness. *why are we jogging I'm still trying to wake up*

ROXY: *gotta go FAST janey*

SOLLUX: *first time being conscious in this room, no difference is noticed. but he still approaches the board as it is the first thing that catches his eye - the second being the only other portal out of this room. room? sure, let's call this a 'room' too. a few others appear to be in the same room.*

ROXY: *she does notice the troll standing there, of course, and glances between him and the board* hey hey

ERIDAN: *all eridan wanted was to escape his sorry excuse for a room. evidently a few other people had the same idea -- he recognized one of the girls as the one who had spoken earlier at feferi's urging -- but unfortunately, none of them were people he particularly wanted to see. still, there was /something/ he wanted to see: the chart that he was pretty sure wasn't there earlier.*

ROXY: *MORE TROLLS TROLLS EVERYWHERE*

JANE: *paying too much attention to the board, and then this new troll coming in, she almost smacked into roxy. quick stop!*

ROXY: *except nah shes scanning the board again* is this what i think it *DOOF* yo

ERIDAN: *wow these humans really arent that coordinated, are they.*

ROXY: back it up like a tonka truck janey

ERIDAN: *side-eyeing you weirdos pretty hard.*

ROXY: okay theeeeen

ROXY: aaaaaanybody gonna second my notion that this is a big ass stats chart

JANE: *i said almost ya dweeb but sure, she backpedals* Sorry!

SOLLUX: *handspockets. looks over shoulder.* um. yeah hii. *oh, humans. and /him/.*

ERIDAN: wwell it sure aint little thats for sure

SOLLUX: *turns his attention back to the board.*

JAKE: *Choosing this exact moment to re-appear from splendid isolation Jake shuffles amicably over to join the group, waving as he goes.* Well met, you lot! Whats all this were looking at then? A honking great big chart, did someone say?

ROXY: *turns around, lifting a hand to flap at Jake in a sloppy sort of wave* hey hey hey we were gonna go get u if we found anythin super juicy

ROXY: id say this constitutes

ROXY: *scans it for her own name*

JANE: *glances to jake, then back* It sure does, I think. Good timing, J.

ROXY: *shakes her head a little* not all these numbers add up to the same thing whats the diff here

JANE: Did the trolls get more points than us? *mental math time that seems to be the case*

JAKE: Well ill be dashed, im glad to be good and timely for this pulp-free edition of prime juice! *notices said trolls and opens his mouth again to say words and some of those words will be "mr erisol" feel free to jump in an interrupt.*

JAKE: *Please, please interrupt.*

ROXY: yeah but half of em are even more than the other trolls what gives *looks to trolls like pls. fill us in. we are but pink monkeys*

SOLLUX: *that voice. he would recognize that voice anywhere.*

SOLLUX: oh HELL no.

ERIDAN: *please, whatever god trolls recognize. please save eridan from jake english.*

ROXY: scusi

SOLLUX: *spots jake from the corner of his eye.* oh HELLLLL no.

ROXY: ey buddy calm down

JANE: Maybe it has something to do with that "special" thing? *tilts her head* I wonder what that is. *looks slowly over to the trio* Whaaaat is happening suddenly?

ERIDAN: *looks intently at the board instead of at sollux or jake because he might as well do some mental math too. sollux stop embarrassing yourself.*

JAKE: *Is the perfect picture of wounded confusion.* Steady on there, old bean.

ROXY: haha bean

ROXY: *looks at Eridan* u mind givin me an answer if hes gonna keep experiencin weird undeterminable whiplash

ERIDAN: yeah wwhy not

ERIDAN: unlike mustardblood ovver there ivve got a functionin thinkpan and wwhat its tellin me is

ERIDAN: highbloods got more points than lowwbloods

ERIDAN: wwhich means wwere fuckin better

ERIDAN: of course that also means wwere better than you humans but thats to be expected

ERIDAN: you just cant compete wwith a race fuckin CREATED to destroy

ROXY: *jaw actually clenches a little bit wow nice to meet you too bub*

SOLLUX: and look at where that'2 gotten u2.

JANE: *makes such a face* Well, then! What a great way to say hello.

SOLLUX: oh for the love of fuck, 2ERIIOU2LY?

SOLLUX: *it's back.*

SOLLUX: *nobody understands.*

JAKE: *scratches the back of his head and decides to skip any fond greetings for now maybe they're just both suffering from low spririts right now thats it - hey!* Oi! None of that now, you too! Be polite to the ladies, if you please.

SOLLUX: *i'm not crazy i swear.*

ROXY: *squintin hard, but yeah wtf sollux* ok why do u keep yellin

ROXY: do u have an eyelash in ur eye

ROXY: swollen tastebud

ROXY: inappropriate itch

ERIDAN: *snorts, but otherwise wont speak up to make fun of sollux. yet.*

JANE: Roxy. *nudges her* That's not much better of a greeting.

ROXY: (sorry my jokes dip in quality when i find myself irked)

SOLLUX: let'2 ju2t go wiith thii2 wa2 the cherry on top of a biigge2t piile of hoofbea2t 2hiit ii've been 2erved iin a whiile.

SOLLUX: *that wasn't an explanation.*

SOLLUX: *it kind of was. in his head.*

ROXY: say whut

ROXY: ok HOW BOUT THIS

ROXY: lets play who da fuq is u

ROXY: im roxy *looks at jane like introduce urself pls follow my lead*

JANE: Good idea.

JANE: I'm Jane!

JANE: *everyone look at jake now*

ROXY: *looks*

JAKE: And they know me already! They are - were? They were my sprite during the game!

SOLLUX: *squints*

JAKE: Very helpful to me, was old mr erisol.

ROXY: oh UR the ones always flippin off inanimate objects

ERIDAN: *doesnt bother hiding his irritation* yeah thats us alright

SOLLUX: *p sure that's not helping my case right now.*

ERIDAN: and noww wwere entirely separate people

SOLLUX: let'2 keep iit that way.

ROXY: and ur actual names aaaare?

ERIDAN: agreed

ERIDAN: im eridan

SOLLUX: 2ollux. we 2poke briiefly earliier.

ROXY: *face falls a bit*

ROXY: o

ROXY: aloha

JAKE: Right, right! Glad to make youre renewed aquaintance then, new old chums!

ERIDAN: yeah nice to meet you all too

ERIDAN: *tone implies otherwise, of course.*

ROXY: *claps hands and faces board again ah yes thank u jake* lets get down to business

JANE: Fantastic. *looks back to the board, feelin the tension*

ERIDAN: *he would be more polite but 1) sollux and 2) being called mr erisol is GRATING*

JAKE: *SORRY DUDE* *claps his hands together* So erm. Chart? What do we make of it?

SOLLUX: 2o what'2 the deal wiith thii2 stat board anyway.

SOLLUX: look2 pretty 2traiight-forward, but ii mean WHY.

ROXY: what do u think the point of this thing is like if i get into a fist fight with somebody one point stronger than me am i gonna get my butt kicked despite having other higher numbers

ROXY: seems like this place might consider playin dirty like that

JANE: *puts a finger to her chin* Maaaaybe. But I think having other stats higher than the other person could still help.

JANE: Utilizing your strengths and stuff.

SOLLUX: iif you got iin a fii2t fiight wiith 2omebody, all of tho2e 2tat2 would play iintwo iit, 2o no.

SOLLUX: po22iible but not iimperatiively.

ROXY: i know that im sayin almost depends on how basic the structure of this whole freakshow is like

ROXY: how willing is THIS universe gonna be to break rules behind our backs nahmean

ROXY: 4 example

SOLLUX: waiit 2hiit, ii2 thii2 liike 2ome 2ort of fiightiing arena or 2omethiing?

SOLLUX: we're not goiing two fiight each other, are we?

ROXY: no i dont think thats the point

ROXY: i mean it COULD be but

JANE: *not listening, gumshoe-ing in her head*

ERIDAN: honestly this just looks like one of the things me and vvris used to do for campaigns

ROXY: why would slendy goad us to win shit back on multi player mode unless we were sposed to work together

ERIDAN: im not sure its really got an actual use other than that

ROXY: this is probs for ref at the most

JAKE: *Throwing the occasional glance over his shoulder at sollux and eridan as if they are his dearly beloved wards who have both stolen cookies from the cookie jar and who he is very disappointed in Jake edges in to get a closer look at the figures, silently mouthing his own statistics with a squint.*

SOLLUX: 2o what'2 the poiint.

JANE: *snaps her fingers* What if it's to help determine what games are too difficult for us on our own?

ROXY: that sounds about rite

SOLLUX: *does take note that aradia's stats are up on the board.*

ROXY: didnt he say -- *leans her hands on the slanted desk-like structure beneath the board*

ROXY: *looks down*

ROXY: faaaaaaceplam

ERIDAN: *surveys the board again, comparing stats to his. he's doing better than most others in the stamina department, at least.*

ROXY: guys

JANE: What?

SOLLUX: what.

ERIDAN: wwhat

ROXY: (wut)

ROXY: look

[As if triggered in answer to Jane's words, a nondescript metal panel on said desk slides down to reveal a small screen and a keypad. Neat!]

ROXY: im gonna go out on a limb here and say janeys right and it has to do w/ whatever this is

JANE: *leans to see the excellent new tech that's been revealed* Well, there we go.

JANE: Now, what exactly do we do with it?

SOLLUX: *takes a couple steps towards roxy and scans the screen. what's on the screen?*

ERIDAN: *well looks like hes gotta be close to the crowd. he edges closer so that he can see the screen*

[So far there is only one thing on the screen, and the only button that seems to work is "Select". If you so choose, you can press it to look up more information for the text box called simply in glowing purple font "Kingdom of Mushrooms".]

SOLLUX: okay thii2 ii2 fa2ciinatiing and all, but how do we actually get the2e reward2 or whatever and how do we know what we're playiing for.

ROXY: kingdom

ROXY: of

ROXY: mushrooms

SOLLUX: can't 2ay ii'm two terriibly iintere2ted iin a kiingdom of mu2hroom2.

ROXY: u must be a sad sad man

SOLLUX: ii'm not a very...

SOLLUX: fungii.

JANE: Oh.

SOLLUX: 

JANE: Oh my gosh.

ROXY: HA

JAKE: *Attempts not to crack up in the bg*

ERIDAN: *rolls his eyes. god. sollux. he was SO glad not to have those kinds of puns running through his head anymore.*

JANE: *don't... don't laugh that was a terrible joke. she snickers and oops that was a snort*

SOLLUX: *kind of snorts at his own joke. at least he made himself smile a little. yeah.*

ROXY: omg i like you wth *snickers OKAY OKAY BOARD*

ROXY: hmm

ROXY: ok so wat do we do we just put in our info and go thru there *points to other miraculous door*

ROXY: where the portals are

SOLLUX: *having to think about wizard statues wasn't exactly a walk in the park either >:(*

JANE: That seems like the way to go.

SOLLUX: agaiin, 2eem2 pretty 2traiight-forward.

ERIDAN: *wizard statues were the best ok you just have terrible taste*

ROXY: the intro to most games are p straight forward to start

ROXY: *pokes a button*

[There is a tiny beep, and the text box expands to reveal more words: 'Platformer, level: Easy. Minimum requirement: Stamina - 30 Strength - 10 Agility - 10 Intellect - 10 Special 0']

ROXY: *reads this over, glancing up at the board again*

ROXY: yea ok sso everyone can play the beginnin except uh

ROXY: that one guy at the bottom

ROXY: ....

ROXY: issat who i think it is

SOLLUX: fuck that guy.

ERIDAN: yes

ROXY: lol

JANE: *ew* Ew.

SOLLUX: *all of the ew.*

ERIDAN: just be glad you didnt havve to play the prevvious game wwith him

ERIDAN: wwell

ERIDAN: for the most part anywway

ROXY: was he a weirdie

ERIDAN: he ate sopor

JANE: He smelled so bad the last time I saw him. I hope he showers this time around.

ROXY: ate what???

ERIDAN: uh

ERIDAN: wwe havve recuperacoons filled wwith sopor

ERIDAN: so that wwe can actually fuckin sleep

ROXY: unsurprisngly unhelpful

ROXY: BUT ok

ERIDAN: wwoww

ROXY: well i dunno what a recuperacoon is

ERIDAN: beds i guess

JAKE: *whispered to himself* So wait... He ate bed linens?

ERIDAN: i guess

ROXY: someone call my strange addiction

JAKE: *Damn.*

JANE: *quiet giggles* No, please.

ROXY: ok BACK TO WAT U ASKED how do reward

JANE: If it doesn't say on this thing, maybe it says so on the other screens. Didn't Slendy mention another touchpad next to the game portals?

ROXY: yeah but wasnt that just to sign in so the lightybob goes on???

[More text scrolls into view unnoticed: 'If requirements are met, accept conditions and log in at the relevant game terminal. From there, options for rewards can be chosen.']

ROXY: *squintin tarantino*

JANE: *you fricker*

SOLLUX: no, ii'm pretty 2ure 2he'2 riight.

ROXY: eh?

SOLLUX: 2omethiing or another about other 2creen2.

ROXY: okok hold on

ROXY: ima just

ROXY: *presses the button and agrees to conditions I MEET THE REQS SO UH*

[At the press of the button another holoboard appears on the opposite side with a much louder beep, appearing to expand out of nothing. Rather than statistics, it displays a mostly blank (for now) chart, with spaces for player names, games, objectives, and time.]

ROXY: thar she blows

JANE: I guess we can play now?

ROXY: i guess so o:

ROXY: well i mean i think u still gotta choose a game and so somethin about the rewards but i think its activated in general

JAKE: *mumbled assent*

ROXY: we should probs be tellin ppl about this

ROXY: where the fuck is dirk

ROXY: did he get lost in the doorway portal

JAKE: *shrugs politely very helpful* Search me!

ROXY: what is he in ur pocket or somethin

JAKE: Not on your nelly!

JANE: Maybe he found a drawing program on his laptop and got distracted. What a dork.

ROXY: no he said he couldnt find mspaint

JAKE: Hah... The very idea of it.

ROXY: no phallic imagery 4 dirk

JANE: Well then, he must have fallen asleep.

ROXY: :(

ERIDAN: *ok this is probably where eridan should take his leave. this is getting too disgustingly human friendshippy.*

ROXY: o wait

ROXY: i was gonna make an example before

ROXY: but got hecka sidetracked by other important sshit

JANE: Yes, you were.

JAKE: Then proceed, if youd be so kind!

ROXY: so me and janey made a groundbreaking discovery earlier

JAKE: Go on.

ERIDAN: *ok maybE eridan will stay for this 'groundbreaking discovery'*

ROXY: theres like invisible force fields keepin us from fallin into space in those rooms

ROXY: i conducted a very reliable experiment

JANE: *stick around, eridan, you know you love gettin reacquainted with these unfocused pink peeps*

JAKE: ...Tell me you didnt.

ROXY: ....

ROXY: :3c

JANE: By reliable, she means she fell off the side.

JAKE: Of course you blooming well did.

ROXY: anyway

ROXY: ANNYWAAY

JAKE: *facepalms politely*

ROXY: how do we know that one day theyre not just gonna disappear is what im sayin

ROXY: like if we get all confident in not bein able to fall off the edge

ROXY: and we go whoopdeedooo oH SHIT IM SPACE ROCK

ROXY: then yeah

ROXY: when we were talkin secret rule breaking

SOLLUX: *just kind of standing off to the side again, watching the scene. he is getting increasingly distressed by the fact that his LISP is back on top of everything else. he's just gonna. shut up for now. maybe even step away once they're done theorizing. he makes a mental note to come back and check this shit out on his own at a later time. or at least when there's less people around.*

ROXY: bc when have we EVER known these kinda places to be strictly linear

JANE: Maaaaybe we just shouldn't abuse the power of not falling into space.

ROXY: it was an example

ROXY: tho ur rite

JAKE: Well, advising everyone to not go and chuck themselves off into the vastness is a good start. We can let dirk know when were catching him up on everything else!

ROXY: *nods firmly, and looks at the trolls, particularly sollux* and when we let everybody else know we can get to playin

ROXY: and winnin

JANE: *so curious about what the heck kingdom of mushrooms is* We should start telling people. The sooner we start beating, the sooner we get out.

ERIDAN: *oh, good, this is done. he'll come back at a later time, hopefully with one or two people in tow, and learn some more stuff about this nonsense.*

ROXY: okay judgin by the lack of response i think its safe to say BREAK

ROXY: go team go *lets disperse*

JAKE: *Glancing back at the stat board with a slowly worsening feeling of consternation he pipes up* Hang on a minute chapesses, but uh. I rather fancy theres a doozy of a mistake been made here.

ROXY: ?????

JANE: *pauses in her steps* Hm? What's wrong?

ERIDAN: *hahah oh god jake saw. time to abscond.*

SOLLUX: *pointedly avoiided making eye contact with roxy. she /knows/. is probably gonna stick around a bit longer to have a closer look. probably.*

JAKE: Yes! I'm not that, er. I'm not- *fidgets* I dont believe I'm anywhere near that much faster than the two of you!

JAKE: Not to forget! I thought we were missing a bod?

JAKE: *gestures back* Seems like weve got the full set there.

ROXY: *scans the list again, glancing to sollux once more oh the guilt is obvious* well yeah

SOLLUX: *stiffens up a bit. why thank you jake.*

ROXY: because shes gonna be playin soon with the rest of us

SOLLUX: yeah.

SOLLUX: 2he ii2.

JAKE: *always a pleasureee* Oh yes! How silly of me, naturally thats it.

ROXY: *shall i try for a small reassuring smile*

SOLLUX: *probably wouldn't notice anyway at this point.*

ROXY: *had to try anyway*

ROXY: that it for now??

SOLLUX: 2ure.

JANE: *smiles also cause hey that person isn't gone forever* I guess so.

JAKE: *Not quite his usual chipper self he nods and tries for a salute.* Copy that, pink leader.

SOLLUX: *you guys don't know that for a fact.*

ROXY: ok everybody go locate a buddy or two i guess *glances at jake and for some reason wants to grimace but wont do anything but smile back*

ROXY: *yes we do slowlux*

SOLLUX: *assumptions. we don't even know what we're playing for yet. i don't want a fish on a fork spear. i want her back.*

JANE: *we'll get her back, grumpy butt. that's a promise*

JAKE: *Nods and goes off to retrieve his com device* Right-o! Ill inform the troops.

JAKE: Ta-ra, all!

[tatougunarchy]

ROXY: jaaaaaane

ROXY: janeyyyyyy

ROXY: psssst

ROXY: wakey wakey eggs n bakey

ROXY: god i want bacon

JANE: *that sleepy little grumbling, eyes that don't want to open, the tired barely awake voice* Please don't mention bacon. I miss it so much.

ROXY: maybe we can win bacon somehow

ROXY: but heyyyyy

ROXY: *she scoots up nearer to her and drapes herself over her friend with a sigh* u gotta rise n shine sleepin booty

JANE: Hmm? *opens one eye, turning her head to see roxy's face*

JANE: My booty doesn't want to rise, nor shine.

ROXY: thats probs for the best

ROXY: however

ROXY: i gots the news of a new variety to share w/ you

ROXY: new news

ROXY: thats why they call it news

ROXY: har har

JANE: *sleepy whining* Fiiiine. Tell me the newest of new news.

ROXY: ok do u want the good new news or the semi bullshitty new news

ROXY: ur gettin both but what first

ROXY: ladys choice

JANE: That choice is always so silly to me. Who would choose the good news first, only to get bummed out by the bad news?

JANE: *tries to sit up but there's a rolal there*

ROXY: ikr

ROXY: oop

ROXY: *rolal rolls off the crock*

JANE: *sits up but then drapes herself over the rolal*

ROXY: neeeeee >3< *bestows a hug, though she teeters to the side a bit and winds up flopped back with her head hanging off the mattress. eye contact with laptop.*

ROXY: this is real sweet but i do gotta show u somethin

JANE: Oh. I thought it was just verbal news. *sighs and rolls off of her, closing her eyes again* Boo.

ROXY: theres some verbal news but most of the news has to do wiiiiiiith....... *rolls off the bed entirely to stride over to the shelf, collecting the laptop to bring it over* this baby

ROXY: this magnificent trash baby

ROXY: ive named her dell-ilah

ROXY: (geddit bc shes a fuckin shitty dell)

JANE: *opens her eyes again, rubbing the sleep from them* That is amazing, Roxy.

JANE: How do you know it's a bad one?

ROXY: bc ive used it duh

ROXY: here look

ROXY: *shifts to sit crosslegged on the bed, positioned so that jane can look over her shoulder and see*

JANE: Right. *leans over to see*

ROXY: so far its only good for one function

ROXY: usin the chat client

JANE: That's weird.

ROXY: yeah it is

ROXY: so far ive talked to 2 people who found the same kind of comp in their rooms

JANE: Who are all these people? Does it have all the trolls on them, too?

ROXY: yeah one was a troll dude

ROXY: the other was distri

ROXY: im p sure these are 200% gaame issued and they like

ROXY: they picked out handles?? that sound like shit wed have picked ourselves???

JANE: If it has the troll handles, this is definitely game issued.

ROXY: fuckin creepy

ROXY: i looked up mine it means government run by lady armadillos with snipers

JANE: Oh my goodness.

JANE: That definitely sounds like you.

ROXY: dunnit

ROXY: yours iiiiiiiis........ *scroll scroll* gourmetGaud

ROXY: im judgin by the blue here obv

ROXY: they got our fuckin colors right

JANE: Huh. That doesn't sound too bad.

JANE: I can't believe they got all this stuff for us, though.

ROXY: yeah it would be hella cool if it wasnt rly invasive ya dig

ROXY: anybutts

ROXY: i said i talked 2 a troll rite?

JANE: You mentioned it.

JANE: Was it a nice troll?

ROXY: i dunno if i would say nice

ROXY: i feel like i hurt his feelins tho

JANE: *frowns* Well, crud.

ROXY: u know the girl that went poof :/

ROXY: im p sure he didnt wanna be findin out about that from a stranger

JANE: Oh no, they were probably pretty close.

ROXY: yeahhh :c

ROXY: me n dirk agreed to go outside and explore and im p sure that guy might be tryin to look for clues on his own so

ROXY: i woke u up and was gonna propose we head on out together

JANE: What is there to explore, though?

JANE: Other people's rooms?

ROXY: nono but dont u remember what else slendy said

ROXY: (idgaf his name is slendy)

ROXY: theres other shit to be found

JANE: (That's creepy.)

ROXY: (well hes creepy)

JANE: True.

JANE: (Also true.)

ROXY: like how to get into the gameplay station w/ the portals

ROXY: and other shit

ROXY: i just think everyone was too crazy last night to try

ROXY: we COULD stop in ur room first to see if u got a shitty laptop too

JANE: Alright, I guess we should see what we can find then.

JANE: *sits up straighter and stretches*

ROXY: *closes her laptop, hopping up to set it back on the shelf before combing her fingers through her hair to try and fix it*

JANE: Where did I put my glasses? *looks around i can't see shit without my glasses unless that shit is one foot in front of me*

ROXY: (up ya butt)

ROXY: o i c them

JANE: Okay, okay. *gets up and stretches some more*

ROXY: *theyre on the floor silly jane fell asleep with them on*

JANE: Okay, you see them. But goodness, Roxy, that doesn't help me much. *looks down* Oh. Nevermind.

ROXY: *bends to pick them up and turn them rightways, moving to stand in front of jane and put them on her face*

ROXY: plup

JANE: *glasses: equip*

ROXY: baller

JANE: Thank you very much.

ROXY: why of course

ROXY: *starts heading for the door*

JANE: *follows, running her fingers through her hair. when they get back out to that fancy portal switcher, she inspects it with a hum*

JANE: So I just look for my symbol and that's my room, right?

ROXY: yeup!

JANE: That's not so hard. *and oh look there's my silly frowny blue guy. still cute. and there's my room*

JANE: After you.

ROXY: such a gentlewoman

ROXY: *hops in with a fake head bow, glancing around for the laptop that SHOULD be there*

ROXY: *boop there it is*

JANE: *steps in with her most gentlewomanly face*

JANE: Wow, it's just as welcoming as your room!

ROXY: id say its even MORE welcoming

ROXY: u have more empty space than i do

ROXY: how very dare

ROXY: id like to contact the cosmo administrator about this

ROXY: i wont stand for it

JANE: You're just jealous that I have more room to dance around in to the music that isn't playing.

ROXY: well i dunno if u wanna dance around the LITERAL EMPTY SPACE but

ROXY: *gestures to the blackness gdi*

JANE: You never know. We could unlock more customizable space. Like in that one game, where you're basically simulating real life.

JANE: *goes over to her new cruddy laptop and scrolls through all the handles*

JANE: I guess since the game gave us these, we probably don't have our own computers anymore.

ROXY: probs *sighs yet agaaaaain and moves to inspect another shelf, running her hand along it* i noticed they fucked with our sylladexes n stuff too

ROXY: like in general

ROXY: theres less space

JANE: I don't have my recipe modus or my dad's wallet, either. *pouts*

JANE: Stupid.

ROXY: D:

ROXY: uuuugh im sorry jane

ROXY: maybe thats the shit we can win back too

ROXY: i mean like

ROXY: dude u can win a fish on a fork spear in maplestory

ROXY: im p sure we can win back all valuables

JANE: A fish. On a fork spear?

JANE: Wow.

ROXY: yeah man

ROXY: its legit

JANE: Maybe that means we can win our really cool weapons, too. You can get your portal sniper back, and I can get my skaia fork.

JANE: *smiles over at her*

ROXY: *had climbed up on the shelf to investigate, squinting out at the unnatural space, and she turned her head to jane as she mentioned the weapons.* hell yes i want my baby back omg

JANE: That will definitely be a priority. Hey, be careful up there. Who knows how far there is to fall? You could end up stuck.

ROXY: i have a theory

ROXY: call it theory of a potentially deadman

ROXY: or dont

ROXY: but

ROXY: if ppl were to be fallin into oblivion all willy nilly what would the point be

JANE: I don't like the sound of that.

ROXY: relax i aint gonna geronimo off the ledge

ROXY: but like

JANE: The point is to... *hums thinking*

ROXY: do u think its to scare us

JANE: Weed out the idiots.

ROXY: probably

JANE: Probably.

JANE: Oh my gosh.

ROXY: (hehehehe)

ROXY: do we got anything to throw

JANE: There don't seem to be any rocks. We don't have anything disposable in our sylladexes.

ROXY: um um um

JANE: I don't really want to throw my crappy computer.

ROXY: hmm

ROXY: i got this i guess *she reaches to pull a hairtie off of her wrist* not like i ever use em anyways

ROXY: *she moves to the edge of the shelf and looks over, holding out her hand to drop it and watch it fall* be free lil buddy

JANE: *carefully peeks over the shelving*

ROXY: *leans over after dropping it, trying to see but squinting* shit i think its too dark to like contrast the abyss or somethin i cant see if its there or noOT *wobbles*

JANE: Hrm. *quickly turns to her* Roxy, be careful!

ROXY: nyeurrgh *windmills her arms to catch her balance, but goes toppling over the back of the shelf*

JANE: *reaches out to try steadying her, but theEEERREEE SHEEEE GOOOEEESS*

JANE: Roxy!

ROXY: *a moment of silence for the nooter*

ROXY: *a moment later, she pops her head up over the edge again*

ROXY: wow

ROXY: that was bullshit if i ever seen it

JANE: *stares in horrified disbelief*

JANE: I just about had a heart attack. What happened?

ROXY: *she stands up, looking down at her feet and stomping on what she figured was an invisible forcefield* sweet

ROXY: i knew it

JANE: So something is there? Are you okay?

ROXY: im good

ROXY: just faceplanted on laminated space nbd

ROXY: *turns around, reaching a hand out* wonder how far it goes

JANE: Okay, good. *smacks the side of roxy's head then* That's for scaring me.

ROXY: ow!

ROXY: :c my b

JANE: Yes, your b.

JANE: If you want to test how far it goes, you could sit where you are and stretch your legs out.

ROXY: *nods solemnly, and turns to face oblivion again* butt scootin across the macrocosm

ROXY: dont mind if i do

JANE: Scoot the boot... y.

ROXY: aye aye capn

ROXY: *she does just that, sitting where she is and extending her legs, promptly scooting until the soles of her boots come into contact with something solid* got it

ROXY: how far would u say this is, like 6 feet???

JANE: Looks pretty close.

JANE: Hey, lay down and I can judge by how much space you still have

ROXY: okieday

ROXY: *and there she does, lying on her back IN SPACE*

JANE: Yeah, that looks like six feet to me!

ROXY: *takes this opportunity to spread her arms out and wiggle* stardust angels aw yiss

ROXY: ok perf

JANE: *giggles*

JANE: That's the best thing to do when floating in space.

ROXY: it rly is u should try it

ROXY: *rolls onto her stomach to peer down*

ROXY: *whispers* a whole new wooooooorld

JANE: You are ridiculous. Get back up here. *rolls her eyes still smilin*

ROXY: fine fine

ROXY: *presses her hands to the force field, mouth quirking to the side again*

ROXY: its like the game never programmed any further than this

ROXY: like a glitch

ROXY: *pushes herself up and walks back over to jane, stepping back onto the shining floor*

JANE: I've never seen glitches like this.

JANE: Then again, I've not played many games.

ROXY: well i dunno if its actually a GLITCH it just reminds me of one

ROXY: like in the pokeymans

ROXY: u can walk into dead black and the music stops

ROXY: its fuckin creepy ngl

JANE: That does sound creepy. How do you even find that out?

ROXY: *shrugs* by walkin past the green i guess

ROXY: it lets u go it just never designed more life

ROXY: o shit *scuttles over to grab her hair band again, now that she had seen it on the 'ground', and waggles it at jane with a smile before meandering towards the door*

JANE: Hm. *stares into the emptiness for a little bit before following roxy again*

ROXY: i think we should tell ppl about this *looks back, too* im p sure dirk is out there already

ROXY: i told him 2 wait for me so

ROXY: think we should get jake before dippin out??

JANE: Maybe. I'm not sure we should rush them into interacting like normal people, though. *rubs her arm* They're still pretty awkward.

ROXY: im more concerned about ppl bein in the know about bonus jazz tbh

ROXY: but yeah maybe

ROXY: if we find anythin important we can go grab him then?

JANE: True. I mean, we can message people about it so they don't have to figure it out themselves.

JANE: That sounds good.

ROXY: well yeah but who knows when theyll find their doodads

ROXY: hehehe how much u wanna bet dirk named his adelle

ROXY: *already opening the door*

JANE: *thinks about it for a second then snickers* He definitely did.

ROXY: lets go find out B)

JANE: Onward, I guess!

ROXY: pchoooooo

ROXY: *and out they go*

[tatougunarchy]

ROXY: ...

ROXY: wooooooow

ROXY: home sweet home huh

JANE: *looks around with her* This sure is cozy.

JANE: When he said places to rest, he really meant that as its only function huh?

ROXY: if by cozy u mean like we just walked into the ultimate sci-fi hospital room-slash-probably an alien enclosure for experimental purposes

ROXY: then yeah

ROXY: cozy as hell

JANE: That is exactly what I mean. You're so good at reading between the lines.

ROXY: aint i just

ROXY: *sighs massively, and steps over to the bed*

ROXY: how much u wanna bet its either hard as a rock or the comfiest bed of all time

ROXY: probably designed to make us want to stay in it 5evur

JANE: *goes to run her hand along the top of the storage unit thing*

JANE: I think it might be a regular sort of bed, so we actually get up and do things.

ROXY: tbh i just dont wanna get stuck to it or wind up with the spinal curvature of an elderly man

ROXY: *decides to test it out and plop on it*

JANE: *watches her do so*

JANE: Well?

ROXY: hm

ROXY: hmmmmmmmmmmmm

ROXY: *is getting very thoughtful*

ROXY: *thinking face and all*

JANE: The court eagerly awaits the jury's ruling.

ROXY: i hereby declare this bed guilty of being decently comfortable

ROXY: drat

JANE: Why drat? *walks over and pushes down on it with her hands* It won't make you stick OR give you an old man spine.

ROXY: i was kinda hopin to have somethin to complain about

ROXY: *shrugs, and flops back onto it*

JANE: *also shrugs and climbs carefully onto the bed as well* There's plenty to complain about.

JANE: Just not the bed, I guess.

ROXY: yeahhh the bed was a long shot

ROXY: *rolls over onto her side to look at jane* wish it wouldnt have been super awk to get the guys in here

ROXY: after we did that totally feelsy hand holding thing too

ROXY: gdi

JANE: Hoo hoo hoo.

JANE: We haven't had a big sleepover like that in so long.

ROXY: i miss it :c

ROXY: but im glad u didnt go off on ur own too

JANE: Hm. Do you think they'll be okay? Dirk and Jake.

ROXY: with themselves or each other

JANE: The second one. I guess the first one too, but that's mostly a concern with Dirk.

ROXY: i feel like if i keep sayin totally unabashedly optimistic crap im gonna start soundin like im pullin it outta my ass but

ROXY: i think they will eventually i mean

ROXY: its not like they dont care

ROXY: we all care

ROXY: and if we care theres drive to patch things up

JANE: That's true.

JANE: But you know how they are.

ROXY: i do

JANE: They are terrible with feelings.

ROXY: oh they is

ROXY: *big eye roll*

ROXY: theyll pull their balls outta their back pockets at some point

ROXY: i think as shitty as this whole level two thing is

JANE: *snorts*

ROXY: it mighta given us all a kick in the booty

JANE: I guess.

ROXY: maybe make some ppl realize theres more important shit than bein a dope

ROXY: and avoidin the people thats there for em

JANE: I would say "God help us," but we both know that isn't exactly going to do anything.

ROXY: yeahno

ROXY: not anymore

ROXY: we gotta keep helpin ourselves i guess

JANE: We could say it for dramatic effect, though.

JANE: God, help us!

JANE: *throws her arm over her face in mock distress*

ROXY: *smiles for a second, and plays along, flopping backwards again dramatically* pleeeease oh bearded men in the sky

ROXY: (gotta include jeebus, jane)

JANE: (I'm so sorry, Jeebus.)

ROXY: (he forgives u)

ROXY: (as he does for all his childrens)

JANE: (I love you, Jeebus.)

ROXY: (he loves u too)

ROXY: (this is a beautiful connection)

JANE: (This is an unbreakable bond.)

ROXY: (jane)

ROXY: (why are we whisperin)

JANE: (I don't know.)

JANE: (This is what we do at sleepovers, though, right?)

ROXY: (das funky)

ROXY: i think that is enough prayin tho

ROXY: *scratches at her temple; her hands are a bit fidgety*

JANE: You're probably right.

JANE: Hum.

JANE: Are you okay?

ROXY: *her eyes flicker over to her* uh

ROXY: yeah no im good im just

ROXY: *presses her hand across her forehead; that shouty guy's parting sentiment about neglecting herself popped into her head, and she sighs again*

ROXY: i dunno im not feelin so hot n spicy ya dig

JANE: *pats roxy's arm sympathetically* Yeah. I dig.

ROXY: i mean im sorta *mumbles* 'feelin like my old self again'

ROXY: its no biggie tho *closes her eyes, tucking that hand behind her head*

JANE: *eyebrows knit together, trying to understand what must be the underlying meaning* I don't understand.

ROXY: *eyes open again; damn, she had thought it could be understood and dropped on a dime*

ROXY: my old self could probs have used a drink by now

JANE: *oh* Oh.

JANE: *pauses, then scoots closer to put her head on roxy's shoulder*

ROXY: *yeah, the comfort is far nicer than dropping it on a dime; she hums a bit and turns slightly to half-drape her arm around her friend, reconsidering and just shifting so she can hug her properly*

JANE: *ah yes quiet hugging is good. she doesn't know what to say, or if she should say anything. so she just lays there and enjoys the embrace. enjoys her best friend's company. thinks about how grateful she is that roxy isn't treating her differently after all that happened.*

ROXY: *Nothing could ever make her see Jane as anything but her best friend in the world, and she would just assume keep the past behind closed doors, and move forward. That included clinging to what she had and what she knew and loved.*

ROXY: all things considered it could probably be worse u kno

ROXY: i mean at least were in one piece i guess

ROXY: and youre you again

JANE: Yeah. *sighs into roxy's shirt* I'm sorry.

ROXY: as if u need to apologize for anythin rn

JANE: Maybe not, but I feel like I should.

JANE: So I am.

ROXY: would it make u feel any better if i accept this vastly unneeded apology

JANE: It would make me feel much better, thank you.

ROXY: then i accept ur vastly unneeded apology *squeezes her, squishing her nose to the top of her head*

JANE: Hoo hoo hoo. Thank goodness. *blows a raspberry on her shoulder. it seems right.*

ROXY: ew omfg

ROXY: *but she giggled and instinctively squirmed away for a second BUT MOSTLY EW*

ROXY: ill bite ur hair or somethin ur not careful

ROXY: sounds gross

ROXY: bc it is

ROXY: and ill do it

JANE: *so much giggling, but no apology*

JANE: That's nasty. You're nasty.

ROXY: just returnin the favor

ROXY: *such girlish happiness*

JANE: *she could fall asleep just like that right here, humming contentedly*

ROXY: *roxy probably will, honestly, just barely stopping herself from idly playing with a strand of Jane's hair. A lifetime of no human contact like this takes surprisingly long to make up for, go figure.*

JANE: *and so they did. they stayed there and stayed quiet and they fall asleep just like that.*

ROXY: *the best way to fall asleep, probably.*

[10:59] TG: DID I HECK UP

[11:00] GG: Don't worry, you can fix it pretty easily. He's a really understanding guy!

[11:00] GG: Um. I should tell you why it probably wasn't the best thing first.

[11:01] GG: Do we need to have this conversation in person? I don't really know.

[11:01] TG: uhhh

[11:01] GG: Gosh;

[11:02] GG: Hoo hoo hoo.

[11:03] GG: Back in his session almost everybody wanted him in a quadrant.

[11:03] GG: Yeah.

[11:03] TG: ohhhh :(

[11:03] GG: Yeah.

[11:03] TG: welp

[11:04] GG: So basically... You may have made yourself seem like another person who just wanted the booty.

[11:04] TG: well

[11:04] TG: ngl i pretty much am another person that wants the booty

[11:04] TG: but

[11:04] GG: He just really wants good friends who don't keep trying to be with him.

[11:04] TG: i respect his bootys decision not to be desired

[11:05] GG: I knew you'd understand. Even if you do word it in such weird ways.

[11:05] TG: :')

[11:05] TG: i guess

[11:05] TG: i ought to say somethin to him

[11:05] GG: That would be a good idea.

[11:05] GG: Maybe start asking people before you kiss them. Hoo hoo.

[11:06] TG: that

[11:06] TG: sounds like a good idea ye

[11:10] GG: We should talk more about those pros and cons now that that's straightened out. :B

[11:12] TG: yes

[11:12] TG: yes we should

[11:12] TG: uh

[11:12] TG: cons

[11:12] TG: our friends r fuckin batshit bananas

[11:12] GG: Ugh so true.

[11:12] GG: We wouldn't be able to invite all of them, or some kind of mess would be made.

[11:14] TG: very true

[11:14] TG: but who do we pick to invite and not invite

[11:14] GG: What a pain. We'd obviously invite moirails.

[11:15] GG: Dirk and Jake are without question, I think.

[11:17] TG: obvs lmao

[11:17] GG: How did we get such jerky friends that don't get along together?

[11:17] TG: idk luck of the draw

[11:17] GG: This really shouldn't be so hard.

[11:25] TG: who is to say i am not in the process of doin that

[11:25] GG: You're still typing, so I just don't know.

[11:27] GG: How do you feel about Kurloz? Would you be okay with inviting him?

[11:28] TG: i guess hes ok

[11:28] TG: in the same kinda clowny enigma way

[11:29] GG: Right. Well, he and Rufioh are close. I just thought I'd ask.

[11:29] TG: oooooo

[11:29] TG: shoulda known

[11:29] TG: given their other u counterparts >B)

[11:30] GG: My gosh, you're right.

[11:30] GG: I can't tell if it's just chemistry or if the universe has a strange sense of humor.

[11:30] TG: prolly both

[11:30] TG: the universe does seem to like laffin at us

[11:31] GG: You have a point there.

[11:32] GG: You know, we started talking about who to invite but we haven't even decided if it's going to happen.

[11:35] TG: it should rite?

[11:35] TG: i mean

[11:35] GG: It would be nice.

[02:36] GG: Please, unless I am making myself sick from stress, don't let me sleep in sopor slime.

[02:36] GG: It's really relaxing but I said such stupid things.

[02:38] GG: Okay, well I took some notes while I was weird.

[02:38] GG: I'm not sure what "jelly bean toes" is supposed to mean, but... most of it makes sense.

[02:38] TG: ...

[02:40] TG: well im not sure if that sounds delicious or not but yeah good on you for bein creative

[02:41] GG: My point is that humans should probably only sleep in that stuff when they're stressed.

[02:42] GG: Good call.

[02:44] TG: the sleepin in slime thing

[02:44] GG: Science.

[02:45] TG: science???

[02:46] GG: Science!

[02:46] GG: I wanted to know what would happen if a human slept in sopor slime.

[02:46] GG: And you know, the only difference between messing around and science is writing things down.

[02:46] GG: So it qualifies as science.

[02:47] TG: ok i approve

[02:47] GG: Thank goodness.

[02:48] GG: Your approval is very important to me.

[02:48] TG: whose slime was it?
