wow
i definitely didnt see this coming!
who knew that one day you could just wake up and be casually informed everything you thought youd lived before was complete fiction
i sure didnt
but
hmmmmm
it sounds just a tad
suspicious
dont you think?
i dontt really know whats going on but im not sure i automatically believe it just because somebody said it
my life felt pretty real to me you know and i am fairly certain somewhere along theres probably a philosophical paradigm to justify all of this in between the complexities of space time and consciousness
your fiction could be my reality in an alternate dimension, what about that?
or!
what if this were the fiction??
ooh that would be a twist!!
it definitely sounds like something out a book or maybe one of those sci fi tv shows where theyre always trying to trip you up
surprise it was just a dream all along!
you know what i mean?
anyway
im aradia
if any of my friends were chosen to be told that they are actually fictional entities and now we are finally experiencing real life please let me know so we can meet up again and compare notes on our fictional existences and timelines

Hello there! Brilliant to see you again, although I'm sure you won't remember me! So I suppose I ought to say good to meet you! I'm the Doctor.

No fear, though, there are plenty of people you will recognize! Karkat, Eridan, Feferi... John, Jade, Rose, Dave.. plenty of others I haven';t actually been introduced to, as well!

[maiditoutalive]

hi!
no i dont remember
its nice to meet you too doctor
again i guess
i am sorry i have no memory of our meeting or what we did before but i guess that must have been another fictional me
there are probably quite a lot of those
and yes that sounds like at least half of our party so thats good to hear
i suppose if i am not real everybody else should be not real too so its just a matter of finding them
wow that was a terrible sentence
but you know what i mean right?

[callbacks]

oh hey i remember you
corpse girl
queen of the bubbles
hows it hanging

[maiditoutalive]

hello dave
the only thing hanging appears to be the light and i would say it shows no sign of falling so its hanging quite well i would say
but if you are asking how i am the answer is just fine for the moment
maybe a bit bemused at the whole thing

[hot4engines]

Ain't sure any of us really buy the fiction thing. But it's the only explanation we got...

I'm Kaylee ♥

[maiditoutalive]

hmm
well its not a very good one is it?
my name is aradia
its nice to meet you kaylee

Ooooh, I like the idea of the big twist being this is fiction. Except, being a writer, that would be too many metatastic layers for me. YO MR. CASTLE, WE HEARD YOU WRITE FICTION SO WE TOOK YOU OUT OF FICTION AND PUT YOU IN ANOTHER FICTION- WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER.

Makes my head spin a little.

[maiditoutalive]

would that really be deeper or would that be further out?
you could add another layer and make it even more complicated!
you writing fiction is a fiction being written by another fictional author who is also fiction
somewhere i think a critic probably just died of happiness from how profound and pointlessly complex that is

[there's a small, excited gasp, then a little girl's voice:]

How'd you make the letters write in a different color?!

[clearly this is the most important thing ever.]

[audio]

[maiditoutalive]

[Whoops hang on gotta switch to audio.]

It's in the settings, I believe? If not you could always try to code for it.

[roseate]

Welcome back.

[maiditoutalive]

thank you
i think
i am glad to see you are here and hopefully doing well

[flightybro]

Another troll, huh?
You're rather calm about the how situation.

[maiditoutalive]

how we got here you mean?
i am sure there is an explanation and a way back
even if i dont know what it is yet
and what good would freaking out about it do me?

[fuckincakewake]

u know
for most of tehse guys coming from not our timeline
the trolls still seem to outnumber us
are we sure gneeocide wasnt a bitimeline pheneonal
ps tihs one is cute as hell

[retroversion]

ahahahaha
thatd be a fucking great twist

[maiditoutalive]

yes i think it would be
but i am not sure it would fit with the theme of the rest of our lives
to be honest i am not even sure if we have a theme
i think that is probably more your department dave
