ATTENTION EVERYONE!
MY NAME IS KARKAT AND I REQUIRE ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME.
I'M NOT SHORE WHERE I AM, AND I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE.
IS IT A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT?
I'VE GOT MY TRIDENT WITH ME BUT I'D REALLY PREFER NOT TO HAVE TO USE IT.
HAVE I APPEARIFIED HERE SOMEHOW, OR DID SOMEONE BRING ME HERE ON PORPOISE?
IF THIS IS SOMEONE'S IDEA OF A JOKE OR A PRANK JUST FOR THE HALIBUT IT'S NOT FUNNY! 

ALSO, COULD SOMEONE HELP ME FIND MY TEAM?
THEY'RE ALL PRETTY MUCH USELESS LITTLE SHITS, BUT THEY'RE MY ADORABUBBLE USELESS LITTLE SHITS, AND I KIND OF MISS THEM. 
THERE ARE SIXTEEN OF US, IF YOU INCLUDE THE HUMANS. 
I'M NOT GOING TO TYPE OUT ALL THOSE NAMES, BUT IF ANYONE GETS THIS MESSAGE AND IS WILLING TO HELP ME SEARCH, I'LL DESCRIBE THEM FOR YOU.
IF ANY MEMBERS OF MY TEAM ARE AROUND, MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN TO ME AT ONCE. 
A FAMILIAR FACE WOULD BE REELY NICE RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

I WAS SORT OF IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING, AND I'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO THAT, BUT IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE I AT LEAST WANT TO FIND MY TEAM AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S ALRIGHT.
MY LIFE POWERS ARE REELY IMPORTANT AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE SOMEONE DIE WHILE I'M HERE. ):B
I'VE WORKED SO COD DAMN HARD TO KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE AND HAVE EVERYTHING GO SWIMMINGLY, AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH KISSING ANOTHER BLOODY CORPSE!

:33 < this place isnt usually dangerous
:33 < just confusing

[fuchsiaknight]

_{[It's a first for him too.]}

OKAY, GOOD TO KNOW.
WHAT'S CONFUSING ABOUT IT?
I'M ASSUMING THIS IS NEPETA, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE TYPING IN GREEN FOR SOME REASON.
NOT THAT I MIND, I MEAN, TYPE IN ANY COLOR YOU WANT, IT'S JUST SORT OF WEIRD.

[moirailcompass]

:33 < but purrobably not the nepeta you know
:33 < which is what i mean by confusing
:33 < this place kinda
:33 < draws a lot of people
:33 < furrom a lot of diffurent times
:33 < and worlds
:33 < i know its confusing but just thinking about it kinda liiike
:33 < if all of us existed in a diffurent world and diffurent circumstances
:33 < in this case us being born to diffurent blood castes
:33 < at least being one of the diffurences

[fuchsiaknight]

WOAH, YOU'RE SOME SORT OF ALTERNATE NEPETA? o:B
THAT'S AWESOME.
NICE TO MEET YOU THEN.
I'M KARKAT, BUT YOU PROBABLY KNOW ALTERNATE ME, ALREADY.
WHAT'S HE LIKE?
I CAN'T PICTURE MYSELF BEING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A SEADWELLER, BUT I GUESS, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE BEING ANYTHING ELSE EITHER, AND YOU'RE TEAL WHERE I'M FROM.

:33 < whats the nepeta you know like :??

[fuchsiaknight]

GLUB GLUB.
OH MY COD, HE SOUNDS SO ADORABUBBLE!
I THINK I HAVE TO MEET HIM AND WE CAN COMPARE ROMCOMS.
I WONDER IF HE LIKES TROLL WILL SMITH AS MUCH AS I DO?
YOU SHOULD TRY AND CHEER HIM UP SO HE'S NOT MR. GRUMPY GILLS ALL THE TIME!

WELL, MY NEPETA USES LOTS OF CAT PUNS, LIKE YOU DO, AND SHE LIKES READING SO SHE'S REELY SMART.
SHE'S A POWERFUL HUNTER AND SHE'S ALSO MY FRIEND! (:B

[moirailcompass]

:33 < he is!
:33 < supurr dupurr adorable
:33 < but if you tell him that he will vehemently deny it :PP
:33 < but we all know it to be true
:33 < i do try my best to ch33r him up when i can
:33 < sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt
:33 < but its really nice when it does

:33 < id like to m33t her too sometime
:33 < did you guys have to go through sgrub? =//

[fuchsiaknight]

CHEERING SOMEONE UP IS ALWAYS A GREAT THING!
I KNOW IT ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.
IT'S MUCH BETTA THAN HAVING TO REVIVE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.
LIFE IS A COOL ASPECT BUT IT'S A LOT OF WORK!

YEAH, WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAYING.
THAT'S WHY I WAS HOPING TO FIND MY TEAM, BECAUSE I'M WORRIED.
THEY COULD GET IN TROUBLE AND NEED MY LIFE POWERS.

[fireflyheir]

[what

what what what]

karkat?

[fuchsiaknight]

JOHN!
THANK GOD, I WAS WONDERING IF I WAS GOING TO FIND SOMEONE I KNEW.
WAIT, HOLY CARP, WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU REACH GOD TIER?
YOU DIED AND CAME BACK WITH AWESOME POWERS AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT?
WOW, YOU LOOK GOOD!
WHAT SORT OF AMAZING POWERS DO YOU HAVE?

[fireflyheir]

[still looking as though someone got him in the face with a mackerel because cheerful exuberant Karkat what]

uh, yeah
it was a a while back
at least for me
i'm not totally sure how it relates to your timeline
windy powers! wanna see?

[fuchsiaknight]

OH, YOU'RE ALTERNATE TIMELINE JOHN, I SEE.
I WONDER IF MY JOHN WILL REACH GOD TIER SOON?
HECK YES DUDE!
GLUB GLUB! (:B
I BET THEY AREN'T AS COOL AS MY LIFE POWERS, BUT I'M SHORE THEY'LL BE REELY AWESOME ANYWAY.

[fireflyheir]

oh!
okay, things make more sense now. [more or less.]
you have life powers? … well, you can tell me more later! for now… :)
hang onto your tiara!

[sure is picking Karkat up with the breeze somewhat unceremoniously]

[fuchsiaknight]

THIS PLACE IS VERY CONFUSING.
I WAS WONDERING WHY NEPETA WAS TYPING IN A DIFFERENT COLOR.
IT'S STRANGE, THOUGH.
MY JOHN TYPES IN BLUE TOO, SO I GUESS IT'S MORE DIFFICULT THAN I THOUGHT TO TELL IF I MEET SOMEONE I KNOW OR NOT.

_{[He can't puzzle out the answer now, because before he can think on it much more he's being lifted in the air. It's really cool, and once he gets over his shocked surprise, he is all enthusiasm.]}

GLUB! O:B
YOUR POWERS ARE SO COOL JOHN!
DO YOU GET TO FLY EVERYWHERE?
FLYING IS A LOT LIKE SWIMMING, AND SWIMMING IS THE BEST!
ALSO, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THIS IS A CIRCLET NOT A TIARA FUCKNUTS!

[fireflyheir]

yeah
i guess you could ask
it's probably kind of weird to start off with that in a conversation though!

[John grins, Karkat's enthusiasm bleeding through.]

hahaha!
yeah, pretty much!
oh, so… you're a seadweller, right?
whatever you say, karkat.

[fuchsiaknight]

YEAH.
PLUS YOU MIGHT TRY AND PRANK ME AND TELL ME YOU'RE THE JOHN I KNOW.
I DON'T WANT TO GET CONFUSED ABOUT WHO IS WHO BECAUSE IT'S REALLY CONFUSING AS IT IS!
I'M NOT SHORE I'D BE ABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM FORKING WHOEVER TRIED!

THAT IS SO SWEET.
I'M ACTUALLY A LITTLE JEALOUS.
THAT'S RIGHT! (:B
MY HIVE WAS DEEP UNDERWATER, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY LUSUS LIKED TO BE!
BUT NOW THE ONLY PLACE I CAN SWIM IS MY LAND.

[fireflyheir]

well…
yeah, i probably would.
but i don't know that much about your john, so i guess you could poke holes in the story pretty quick, heh!

well, i'd be happy to take you flying if you wanted to!
cool. what kind was it?
so it's full of water? what's it called?

[fuchsiaknight]

YOU SEEM REELY SIMILAR!
IT MIGHT TAKE ME A WHALE TO FIGURE IT OUT!
UGH, THIS WILL BE A PAIN IN THE GILLS FOR SURE.

REELY?
REELY REELY!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
WHAT KIND OF LUSUS DID I HAVE?
WELL, THERE'S ONLY ONE LUSUS I COULD HAVE HAD, SINCE MY ANCESTOR'S THE EMPEROR!
GL'BGOLYB IS KIND OF FREAKY, BUT SECRETLY HE'S A TOTAL SWEETHEART.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYFIN AS CUTE AS GL'BGOLYB!
OR...I GUESS, ANYFIN AS CUTE AS HE WAS. ):B
YES, IT'S NICE.
IT REMINDS ME A LOT OF HOME, BUT I CAN'T SWIM AS DEEP AS I USED TO WHICH SUCKS.
IT'S CALLED THE LAND OF SHELLS AND SEAFOAM.
DAVE SAYS IT'S BECAUSE I'M SO SASSY HAHA.

[fireflyheir]

i guess some things just don't change, no matter to universe
you'll work it out! it'll just take time.

yeah, definitely! just ask.
whoa. seriously?
that's pretty cool!
he sounds kind of like one of those things rose likes…
but if you say he was sweet, i believe you!
because of all the bubbles?

[fuchsiaknight]

I GUESS!
ACTUALLY, THAT IS SORT OF COMFORTING.

ANY TIME?
LIKE RIGHT NOW?
YEAH, HE'S EXACTLY LIKE THAT!
IT'S NOT EASY TO FEED HIM, AND HE'S KIND OF ANNOYING SOMETIMES, BUT I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER LUSUS.
I WOULD HAVE INTRODUCED YOU, IF HE WAS STILL ALIVE. ):B
WHAT?
NO!
BECAUSE IT'S LOSAS!
ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPLY SOMETHING JOHN?
ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY THAT MY LAND IS FULL OF GAS?

[fireflyheir]

yeah. whatever else, when you get down to it we're the same people at the core!

yeah, of course! [talking and flying is a thing we can totally do, why would you think it wasn't.]
oh, wow. that sounds kind of weird, but… like i said, i believe you!
yeah, that's too bad. i think that that would've been cool.
oh! right, the acronym.
no, but foam is all frothy, right?
…hmm now that I think about it that's not quite right is it.

[fuchsiaknight]

THAT'S TRUE.
THE OTHER TROLLS HAVE DIFFERENT BLOOD COLORS IN YOUR VERSION OF THINGS, BUT I'M SURE THEY'RE MOSTLY THE SAME FRONDS THEY ARE FOR ME.

LET'S DO IT! _{[He is so excited. Flying is the best.]}
THAT'S ALRIGHT.
IT'S PROBABLY BETTA THIS WAY.
I MEAN, HE WAS KIND OF DANGEROUS!
IDIOT.
HOW DID YOU NOT GET THAT?
UH, SORT OF?
I DON'T SEE HOW FROTH AND BUBBLES ARE VERY SIMILAR.

[fireflyheir]

yeah.
really? so what colors do they have in your version?

[picking Karkat up again, and grinning]
want to try a loop the loop this time?
it still seems like kind of a shame, but you'd know better than i would
just didn't think to collapse the words, i guess!
i thought froth was made up of smaller bubbles
is that wrong?

[fuchsiaknight]

EVERY COLOR!
WE HAVE EVERY SINGLE COLOR AND ONE MORE!
BUT FOR AN EXAMPLE, I WAS TALKING TO A NEPETA EARLIER, AND I GUESS FOR YOU SHE'S AN OLIVE, BUT OUR NEPETA'S A TEAL.
I WAS A LITTLE FREAKED WHEN I WAS GLUBBING WITH HER.

_{[Karkat grins, with a whole mouth of big sharp teeth.]} BRING IT ON.
I CAN HANDLE YOUR LOOP THE LOOPS NO PROBLEM.
IT SORT OF LOOKS LIKE BUBBLES, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS.
I GUESS I NEVER REELY THOUGHT ABOAT WHAT FOAM IS MADE FROM!
I'LL HAVE TO TEST IT OUT!

[fireflyheir]

whoa, awesome!
oh, huh! i think so, yeah
terezi's the teal one in our version

haha, whatever you say! [let's do this thing and then add a few more on for good measure]
okay cool.
let me know what you find out!

[no worries!]
