Pff.
That was a load of hoof8east shit if I ever heard one!
It doesn't really matter to me which reality is actually real. What's important is that I was 8usy! I had things to take care of. Important things! Save the universe from the 8ig 8ad sort of things.
Not that any of those humans seemed to care. ::::\
Then again, why should they? As far as they know, it's all fake.
Shows what they know!
So, hey! I'm going to take a wild guess and say there's pro8a8ly no easy way out of here.
I don't really have time to w8ste, but I'm not exactly 8eing given a choice!
Lame. How did they 8ring us here? I'm not 8uying all that crap a8out suddenly 8ecoming real or whatever.
Ugh.

Who or what else is here, anyway? I might as well know what I've 8een stuck with here!

ah yes the familiar vriska serket joshing
id almost forgotten
its been quite awhile since i saw you alive or dead
you reappeared briefly yet didnt seem all that interested in talking
but you already know that

[hypertoxic]

So I've heard.
That's weird.
Like, really weird.
What the fuck was my pro8lem????????
Oh well. I'm 8ack now. And interested, I guess?
It's just kind of strange.
Time was never my specialty. And suddenly I am up to my horns in timey 8ullshit.
You're all so far 8ehind. ::::\ And like, the linearity of time stopped 8eing a thing a long time ago for me?
8ut now that I'm stuck in a place like this, I guess it's a thing again. Only all of you are from all over the place. The timeline has 8een completely shattered!
I h8 to admit it, 8ut it's a little hard to wrap my pan around.

[maiditoutalive]

welcome to time shenanigans
its like living in one of karkats memos
but as long as you are dead i know more or less where you should be in what is going to transpire so at least in that i am not so far behind you

[hypertoxic]

Oh shit.
No wonder this place feels so annoying.
I am 8asically stuck in an infinite loop of those fuckhead jam8orees that he called memos!
Urgh. Gr8.
Anyway, sure, I guess? I don't know, why don't you tell me the last thing you remem8er? The only solid point on the alpha timeline I could connect it to is my own death, and perhaps John's recent appearance, since otherwise I haven't really 8een a8le to keep track of time. Actually, scratch that last thing. I have no idea when John's appearance occurred relative to the timeline!
8luh.

[maiditoutalive]

its ok
timeline maintenance was never your problem to worry about
the last thing i remember actually occurring for me is after your death so i am not sure if you were aware that rose and dave traveled from the green sun and met up with the survivors from our party and sollux and i threw the meteor through the furthest rim
there will be a lot of meetings in the dreambubbles as a result
john and jade are elsewhere traveling from one session to the next
both journeys will last three years
i know some of what will occur there in order to be where i need to be
but i think you will be meeting with john later in his trip relatively speaking

[hypertoxic]

I had some idea of what was going on, 8ut I only caught on way l8r. At first I had no idea what was happening!
So that fills in some gaps in what I knew.
And yes, I have had a few dream8u88le meetings myself. Though I haven't run into any of you very much!
Mostly I ran into other dead people. Mostly from splintered, doomed timelines. Kind of depressing!
And weird. Reeeeeeeeally weird.
Do you know when in his trip John met up with me? I mean, for me, that already happened! 8ut I still don't know when precisely it was relative to the alpha timeline.
Normally I wouldn't care. 8ut since I have 8een so rudely integr8ed 8ack into a normal time flow, I have 8ecome kind of curious.

[maiditoutalive]

yes well the dreambubbles are for the dead
there was quite a lot of dead in some of our timelines
to answer your question i dont have a precise date yet
i think it should be in about two years from where i am now
the john here will not know about it yet
unless i have missed something drastic

[hypertoxic]

No, he doesn't remem8er. Or rather, hasn't made it there yet.
Kind of disappointing! 8ut I guess not surprising at this point.
So I guess a8out a sweep has passed? Weird. It felt like way longer.

[maiditoutalive]

really
i cant imagine why wandering through memory after memory might cause you to lose your sense of time

[hypertoxic]

8luh. I get it!
Though I didn't actually spend that much time in dream8u88les, 8elieve it or not.
I spent most of my time alone.

[maiditoutalive]

you cant very well leave them even if youre not going from one to another
but i guess its difficult if you have to wait to move on
did you have fun at least

[hypertoxic]

I don't know. May8e that place I was in was a dream8u88le.
8ut I never saw anyone in it. It was just this endless desert w8steland.
There were some hoof8easts there, I guess. 8ut if it was on Alternia, it wasn't anyplace I recognized! And definitely not my memory.
Pff. No way. It was pretty 8oring! I was almost glad to get resurrected.
Almost. The results were not really that gr8.

[maiditoutalive]

at least in your case it wasnt permanent
your luck came through for you once again
