[09:04] AG: *Tavros having disappeared yet again, Vriska heads back over to the shared cottage, partly because she doesn't want to be cooped up in a cottage by herself again, and partly to just check up on everyone else since it's been god knows how long since she's seen any of them. plus, she has some new to share. lets herself in, hoping that at least SOMEONE in their small group was awake at this hour, con
[09:04] AG: sidering all everyone seems to do in this place lately is sleep*
[09:06] TG: *Dave has been playing Tetris on his phone for what seems like forever, but might have only been ten minutes. It feels like the last few- days? weeks? months?- have been spent sleeping for twenty hours a day, because getting up just to sit in the shower for an hour and then try to ignore the terrifyingly depressing blob denizens was just not worth it. He looks up at the sound of the door open, and
[09:06] TG: raises his eyebrows in faint surprise. When was the last time he saw Vriska, again? It doesn't really matter.*
[09:06] TG: hey
[09:12] AG: *can't stop herself from pulling a little frown. she looks around the room quickly, hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone else, ANYONE else was awake, too. but no, it's just this guy. lets out a quiet huff* Hi. *she perks up some when she glance at the phone, thinking that maybe he was talking to someone on it, and she moves over a little closer* What are you doing?
[09:12] TG: *He shows her the screen.*
[09:13] TG: playing tetris
[09:17] AG: Oh. *huffs again, this time a little more audible* Have you 8een a8le to talk to anyone?
[09:17] TG: no
[09:17] TG: i havent tried in a while though
[09:17] TG: have you
[09:18] AG: Yeah. Terezi has, too.
[09:19] TG: *He sits straight up, actually interested for the first time.*
[09:19] TG: who did you talk to
[09:20] AG: *crosses her arms, looking away to the floor* Eridan. 8ut just 8riefly.
[09:23] TG: how was it
[09:23] TG: where is he
[09:23] TG: is everyone ok
[09:25] AG: *makes a face* It was........fine. And he doesn't know where he is, or where everyone else is. I don't think he's in the same place as us, though. 8ut I do know he's with some other people, 8ut I didn't think to ask who.
[09:27] TG: ok
[09:27] TG: *He taps his fingers on the edge of the bed, considering that for a minute.*
[09:27] TG: i could try hitting someone up on pesterchum again
[09:27] TG: i mean who knows what kind of otherworldly bullshit is going on here
[09:28] TG: we could be on someones fucked up shadow playground
[09:28] TG: like
[09:28] TG: running through some kind of perverted voodoo emotionally wrecking version of the game
[09:30] AG: *looks back up with a raised eyebrow and waits a second, making sure he was done before she opened her mouth to speak* I don't fucking know dude. May8e you're right. *shrugs and nods towards his phone* You can try, I guess.
[09:32] TG: *He opens Pesterchum hesitantly and scrolls through his contacts to see who's online.*
[09:32] TG: do you know who terezi talked to
[09:33] TG: *No one is online, to his dismay.*
[09:33] AG: She talked to Karkat. *frowns again, recalling the conversation that Terezi let her read*
[09:35] TG: *This is the second time he's nearly jumped out of his skin in the past few minutes.*
[09:35] TG: what did he say
[09:45] AG: Not a whole lot. He was too 8usy freaking out to say a whole lot, which is normal. *laughs a little, but glances over to wherever Terezi is in the room* 8ut something happened to Sollux I guess. And that's really freaking her out.
[09:50] TG: what happened to him
[09:50] TG: where are they
[09:50] TG: is it the same place as eridan
[09:50] TG: or us
[09:58] AG: ohmygod. *mumbles under her breath, turning back to look at him with her hands up like whoa dude* Wow ok, one: I don't know. Two: I don't know. And three: I don't know!!!!!!!! *sighs and lowers her voice some* I don't know if he's dead, 8ut I think Terezi thinks he is. 8ut-*rubs her eyes* That's not the only possi8ility for why Karkat was freaking out.
[10:00] TG: what do you mean
[10:03] AG: Well........It sounded more to me like Soullux /did/ something, not something happened to him, from the way Karkat was flipping out.
[10:03] TG: *He stares at her.*
[10:03] TG: what would sollux have done
[10:04] TG: *Then he sees the phone notification, flips out, and nearly drops his phone.*
[10:04] AG: *was just about to answer him, but she snaps her mouth shut and stares at him* Wow.
[10:05] TG: karkats online
[10:05] TG: *typing like mad*
[10:06] AG: Whoa shit, really?! *tries to look at his screen* What's he saying?
[10:07] TG: *He rolls over onto the bed so she can't really see the computer screen, just in case Karkat has some secrets to share.*
[10:07] TG: uh hes just insulting me as usual
[10:09] AG: *SCOFFS, but she still tries her best to look at the screen anyway* Oh yeah? Ask him a8out Soullx. W8 NO, ask him where he is first, that's more important!
[10:11] TG: ok i asked him where he was and now hes just mad
[10:11] AG: *nods* Sounds a8out right.
[10:11] TG: *His brow is furrowed. Dave is very confused. And possibly a little upset. Although you couldn't tell from looking at him.*
[10:11] TG: no i mean
[10:11] TG: not like usual karkat mad
[10:12] TG: *He looks up at Vriska.*
[10:12] TG: time could be passing differently for them
[10:12] TG: oh my god
[10:12] TG: it could have been twenty years or something
[10:12] TG: i have no idea where or when we are
[10:12] TG: i dont even know how long weve been here
[10:12] TG: ive totally lost track of time
[10:13] AG: Whaaaaaaaat. What the fuck are you talking a8out. Do I need to slap you so you can start talking sense again like in the movies?
[10:15] TG: no that doesnt work it just makes you a jerk
[10:15] AG: *shrugs* So?
[10:18] TG: we are doing business right now
[10:18] TG: save the abuse for later
[10:18] TG: if you ever want to hear from the outside world again
[10:18] TG: *he dangles the phone in front of her.*
[10:19] AG: *rolls her eyes* Fiiiiiiiine. *glances at the phone* What's he saying now? ........*tries to snatch it from him so she can just look herself*
[10:21] TG: *He snatches it away just in time and rolls over so his back is to her.* hold on grabby pants
[10:22] TG: *He's typing furiously, scowling at the phone screen and holding it real close to his face.*
[10:22] TG: karkats lost it
[10:23] AG: *huffs, really bummed that she can't look at the phone* Why, what makes you say THAT?
[10:24] TG: i dont know he just has okay
[10:24] TG: why are you so fucking nosy
[10:24] TG: you already got to talk to your boyfriend
[10:25] AG: So???????? And I'm 8eing /nosy/ 8ecause I want to know what's fucking going on in this place!
[10:26] TG: karkat isnt even in this place
[10:26] TG: *he tosses his phone to the side and slides off the bed, looking around.*
[10:27] AG: *blinks, slightly (but only slightly, she swears) worried* What's wrong?
[10:28] TG: nothing
[10:28] TG: i mean everything obviously as usual
[10:28] TG: we need to get out of here already
[10:28] TG: why is everyone sleeping
[10:29] AG: *eyes him suspiciously, but then he brings her back to the reason why she came here in the first place* ........A8out that.
[10:29] TG: what
[10:29] TG: *He whips around to stare at her.*
[10:29] TG: do you know something
[10:29] TG: wheres rachel
[10:29] TG: dont even ask
[10:29] TG: just

[10:32] TG: the only condition is that we dont talk to any of those fuckin blob people
[10:33] AG: I am one hundred percent ok with that condition.
[10:34] TG: perfect
[10:34] AG: I have one condition though, too.
[10:35] TG: what is it
[10:36] AG: If we DO steal one of these ships, you have to refer to me as Captain Serket, whether you like it or not.
[10:37] TG: *he looks at her with those indecipherable shades and flat pixellated line for a mouth.*
[10:37] TG: .........................
[10:37] TG: *then, quietly.*
[10:37] TG: aye aye capn
