Simulacrum is coming soon!

I'm finalizing the last details for the beta version of simulacrum068. After that, just a few more corrections and I'll finish the CGs, and everything will be ok!

EB: hey vriska! EB: ok, i still cannot find my nanna up here, so now i am just installing this game. EB: what are you up to? AG: John! What the hell. There are so many things wrong with what you just said. AG: First of all, who told you you could just hassle me without warning like this? That's not how this works! [...] AG: Secondly, I am very pissed off that you figured out my name.

He has Dave to thank for that.

It's hard to keep secrets with all these twisted timelines - not unless you're planning on keeping them in perpetuity.

Holy shit, we're getting a John/Dave/Karkat group chat?

I didn't realize it was Christmas already, but I'll take it.

Alright, sound off. What's the funniest reaction that Vriska could have to Con Air?

I'm a big fan of the idea that she sincerely loves it. Con Air is bombastic and over-the-top, much like Vriska herself.

LMAO

Never forget that behind all the murders, Vriska is still a thirteen-year-old kid.

Honestly, you might want to savor your ignorance. Time travel in Homestuck is a stress-fest that leaves you walking on eggshells.

Even worse, most traditional time-travel exploits aren't possible, due to enforced predestination. You can't save anyone - although you could probably resurrect them, through clever application of the Captcharoid Camera.

Generally, though, it seems like one of the less fun Aspects to get saddled with. The mechanics you're navigating are too restrictive, too punishing.

Oh, I get it now.

This is a Terezi/Vriska proxy war. They're getting antsy out in the Veil, and the old rivalry is flaring up - but they're restricted by their truce. Plus, they can't actually fight out there, since that whole situation is rather precarious.

Competing from inside the kids' session, though, is relatively safe - or, at least, it won't harm anyone important. How better for the Scourge Sisters to challenge each other, than to test out their manipulation skills on a pair of impressionable kids?

It'll be just like old times.

Karkat's fucking pissed!

I bet this is his first interaction with Dave, coming right off the heels of his first conversation with John.

[thewertsearch]

TG: there now i wont be satisfying your crazy red fetish either [...] TG: all you get to smell is black TG: like licorice or something [...] GC: 1 LOV3 L1COR1C3 [...] TG: ok lets say i dont smell like licorice then TG: i smell like TG: a coal miners asshole [...] GC: 1T 4LR34DY SM3LLS L1K3 L1COR1C3 S1NC3 YOU S41D TH4T, 4ND NOW 1 C4NT UNSM3LL 1T

That's fun. I imagine Terezi usually has to discover what something's 'Mind Scent' is - but if someone describes a scent to her, it's locked in.

I wonder - can she tell the difference between real scents and Mind Scents? For example, if she smells licorice later on, will she be able to tell if it's actual licorice, or just Dave's suit?

TG: later terezi nice knowing you [...] GC: YOU C4N'T D1TCH M3, W3V3 GOT 1MPORT4NT STUFF TO DO TOG3TH3R [...] GC: H3Y >:o GC: HOW DO YOU KNOW MY N4M3? TG: you told me remember GC: Y34H, BUT 1 THOUGHT YOU FORGOT! [...] GC: YOU S41D YOU W3R3 GO1NG TO M4K3 4 PO1NT OF FORG3TT1NG! [...] TG: i guess i forgot i was supposed to forget

We already know that Dave's detached persona is a façade, but it's always nice to see him acknowledge that fact himself, however obliquely.

Dave liked Terezi, way back when. He's not just playing along for the hell of it - a small part of him is actually having fun.

GC: HON3STLY 1 TH1NK 1 4M 4 B3TT3R 4RT1ST TH4N 1 H4V3 PR3S3NT3D SO F4R GC: 1F ONLY 1 COULD DR4W YOU SOM3TH1NG W1TH MY CH4LK >:\ GC: OH!!! GC: 1 KNOW, 1 C4N BORROW MY FR13NDS DR4W1NG T4BL3T GC: 1 W1LL DO TH4T 1N 4 L1TTL3 WH1L3 TG: thats cool GC: D4V3 W3 SHOULD TR4D3 SOM3 DR4W1NGS GC: YOU 4ND M3

Dave isn't sending comics to Terezi yet, and the crocodiles he's met were supposed to show up pretty soon after Descend. We've jumped back quite a bit on his personal timeline - long before the LOHACSE, at least.

Will we be following both Crocodile Dave and Stockbroker Dave, going forward, or will the narrative pick just one to focus on?

Or, since this is Homestuck, will we be adding additional Daves?

GC: 1F 1 4M M34NT TO H3LP YOU, TH3N YOUR FUTUR3 S3LF OUGHT TO V1S1T YOU R1GHT NOW 4ND G1V3 YOU 4 THUMBS UP, R1GHT?

TG: yeah fine but i doubt that i TG: oh fuck there i am hiding behind that column

And, right on cue, here's (what I assume to be) Stockbroker Dave.

Also - just, for the record - this isn't a sign that Dave should trust Terezi. See, he'll have to give himself a thumbs up here, even if Terezi does turn out to be a problem, since failing to do so will doom the timeline.

Terezi, of course, knows this, and she's taking advantage of Crocodile Dave's inexperience with Paradox Space. Devious girl!

TG: ok so whats the plan [...] GC: 1SNT 1T OBV1OUS? GC: NOW TH4T W3 4R3 4 T34M D4V3 GC: YOU 4ND M3 GC: 1T 1S T1M3 TG: time TG: for GC: T1M3 TG: for [...] GC: 4 MOTH3R FUCK1NG D4NC3 P4RTY!!!!!!! >:O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's pretty much won me over, though.

Yeah, I'm just going to let Terezi cook. Whatever she's up to, I think it'll ultimately be helpful - and it'll definitely be entertaining.

S67-68: Night of Judgement, I-II

The night was quiet and still. Eerily so. Yet the Mudwangs crossed campus quickly after Vax scried on Huon Hurrard seemingly ambushing Larry Dennit Jr. in his office. Prior to leaving, Elder Gikandi encouraged them to remember to work together, and gave them each a magical item of great power. Whilst on the way, the warlock used his magical goggles to investigate the area and caught on to a scrying orb following the party. With knowing glances, Vax alerted the group before flying into the air to throw off their observer. 

Arriving at Larry’s office, they observed guard posts seemingly abandoned with the doors left open to the wind. Inside, they found a heavily decorated messenger bag filled with doodles and schematics- the satchel of Rinna A’ran, who’d volunteered to keep an eye on Larry for her friends. Fearing for her safety, the Mudwangs proceeded cautiously forth and entered Larry’s office, where the (Acting) Elder was speaking with an aide in seeming peace.

While an office cat lounged lazily by the roaring fire, Rucker and Shakan approached Larry, trying to clarify whether Huon had attacked or threatened him. Larry seemed perturbed by their intrusion, considering this could be considered judicial harassment given the recent conclusion of the trial. When pressed, the Elder grew increasingly agitated, insulting the Mudwangs and calling out Shakan for his continued foolishness. Sensing things were amiss, the Mudwangs tried to assess the play when suddenly Larry and his aide attacked, transforming into hideous creatures of smoke and claws as they screamed and battered at the warriors.

The Mudwangs fought off the monsters, eventually felling them before the cat transformed into Huon, who gleefully taunted Shakan for trying to set things straight. Disappearing into the fire with a burst of flames, Shakan saw that his true adversary had opened a portal elsewhere. Not willing to let the writer of his assassination attempt free after coming so far, Shakan plunged into the fiery portal, with his tribesmen following close behind.

—

They thudded onto hard earth, somewhere without light and smelling of dank earth. As the casters illuminated their shields and weapons for better vision, they found themselves in a narrow, earthen hallway that eventually began doubling back and forth, evidently the start of some underground maze.

The men quickly found other, less fortunate maze runners who had either been torn apart by purple-scaled creatures or had their heads exploded outward by… something. The creatures- nothics, or mutated wizards who’d gone insane in their pursuit of knowledge- harried and psychically pried into the minds of the Mudwnags, who fought off the vile creatures lurking in the shadows. 

Amid the harrasment from the nothics, as well as the threatening rumblings of massive creatures moving through the earth nearby, the Mudwangs encountered some Academy students- some who seemed truly lost, others who had been corrupted by bulging creatures that resembled ambulatory brains. The Mudwangs heard whispers of power and secrets in their minds from these various adversaries, as well as misleading distractions meant to confuse and lure the men into the maddening maze. Yet they emerged relatively intact at the heart of the spiraling hallways, where another portal waited ahead.

Taerus, after being battered by a large, bladed booby trap, rallied Rucker, Vax, and Shakan forward to finish what they had started and went once more into the breach...

Story #68: Hi! Actually, ako si C#1683. Gusto ko lang kasi ikwento yung story namin ni crush. I’m in first year college nung makilala ko siya. 2nd sem ko siya nakilala, kasi nung 1st sem di ko siya kaklase tapos nalipat ako dun sa block nila the next sem. De ayun, wala akong kilala sa block nila, then nakita ko siya sa labas ng room namin nung first day, kausap niya yung ibang boys. Tapos out of all the boys na andun, sakanya talaga ako napatingin. Nagwapuhan kasi ako sakanya. Pero di kasi ako nagkakacrush agad kung basta gwapo lang. De ayun, dedma pa ko nung una. Tapos nung nagtagal na ko sa block namin, nakilala ko na parang siya pala yung class clown. Naturn on na ko sakanya nun dahil super plus factor sakin ng lalaki yung pagkakaroon ng sense of humor. Madami siyang good qualities. Gwapo siya, matangkad, may good sense of humor, matalino, magaling magchess, basta madami pa siyang good traits. I’m so close of having a crush on him. Naging close kami and I got to know him better. Then, boom! Super crush ko na siya nung nakilala ko na siya ng tuluyan. Actually, he’s kinda like my dream guy. Yung simula nung bata ako, yun yung pinangarap kong qualities ng magiging prince charming ko. Simula nung naging close kami, naging super excited ko na pumasok lagi. Hahahaha medyo malandi lang. XD

Tapos one day, lumaban sila ng out of town since kasama siya sa varsity ng chess team sa university namin. 5days silang nawala. The day before sila umalis, nagtext siya sakin. Nagpaalam siya tapos sabi niya mamimiss daw niya ako. Well, akala ko pati yung iba tinext niya ng ganun. But apparently, talagang ako lang pala yung tinext niya kasi pinag-uusapan ng mga kaibigan niya na nag-GM lang daw si crush tapos hindi man lang nagtanong ng gusto nilang pasalubong. Hahaha! Pero before yun parang nagpaparamdam na pala si crush pero di ko feel (manhid ata ako) kasi tinanong nung isa naming kaklase kung nililigawan daw ba ako ni crush. Tapos nung habang nasa laban sila, nagkatext kami tapos sabi niya kung wala daw akong ka-MU, liligawan niya ako. Yes, may ka-MU ako nung mga time na crush ko siya, pero nung nagstart kasi akong magcollege, parang di na nagwowork yung kung ano mang meron samin ng ka-MU ko. Deep inside me, parang gusto kong ligawan niya ako. Pero alangan naman kasing ako ang mag-insist na “Sige ligawan mo na ko, malabo na yung samin nung ka-MU ko dati pa”

Pagdating niya galing nung laban nila, okay naman kami. Close pa rin ganun. Di naman kasi niya alam na crush ko siya kaya ganun. Tapos medyo sweet pa siya sakin. Tinetext niya ako lagi ng “Ingat :)” tuwing pauwi ako. Tapos pag nagkakatinginan kami saka nag-uusap, may something talaga. Tapos biglang one day hindi na niya ako pinapansin, hindi na kami close gaya ng dati. I don’t know why. But still, di nawala yung pagkakaroon ko ng crush sakanya.

Nung bago magstart yung 2nd year ng college, as in officially nang wala kami ng ka-MU ko. Nalaman ng buong klase namin yun kasi yung madaldal yung friend ko. Hahaha! Tapos ayun, last december pumunta kami sa bar ng kaklase namin. Yung mga lalaki uminom. Si crush mukhang nalasing. Tapos nung paalis na kami sa bar, hinatid kami ng mga boys sa sakayan para safe daw kami. Tapos si crush bigla akong inakbayan. Tapos nung pauwi na ako, nagbalik yung dating siya. Tinext niya ako na mag-iingat daw ako. Tapos chineck niya kung nakauwi na ako. Tapos sabi niya nilagnat daw siya sa pagkakainom niya, tapos parang naghahanap siya ng care from me, yun bang mag-aalala ako dahil nagkasakit siya, ganun. Hahahaha at dahil assumera ako, inassume ko na may gusto pa rin siya sakin at naiexpress nalang niya ulit dahil lasing siya. Sana lagi nalang siyang lasing. Hahahaha dejoke.

Sorry kung mahaba. Gusto ko lang balikan kasi gusto kong mafeel ulit yung dati. :)
