5 planets full of very relieved and thankful people! ^^

JOHN: i would feel really bad leaving you here, even if you do have a million salamanders and chess guys to keep you company. JOHN: you are my friend and also my sorta-sister, and we just met for the first time ever a few minutes ago... JOHN: i'm not going to be like, welp! see ya in three years jade! JADE: awww :D 

I love John <333

I’m sad we won’t get a Dave/Rose/John meet up, but i’m glad he’s sticking by his friend! ^^

JADE: personally, i think this trip could be a lot of fun! JADE: theres no pressure to do anything important or run around like lunatics anymore JADE: we can just relax 

God, that must feel so good! Hell, I’m feeling good just thinking about it! Just, not much rushing, just chill for a change!

JOHN: also... starving!!! JADE: woof! JADE: whoops 

xDDDD haahahahaahahaahahaha!

JOHN: then maybe i'll just hop over real fast, and give karkat a fist bump, and give dave a hard time about his hella tight little hood, and then hop back? JADE: im sure that would be hilarious JADE: but JADE: if you go i dont think i can bring you back 

Write them a note! :D

JADE: then i guess thats what we are! JADE: semipotent demigods JOHN: demidogs. JADE: woof woof woof! JADE: dammit!!!!!! 

The woofing is killing me! xDDDD

JOHN: is that a permanent thing now, or what? JADE: i think so JOHN: i like them. JADE: i do too! 

hehehe

JOHN: you are like a furry now, but not really the weird kind that people on the internet like to have sex with in their imagination. JADE: D:

...dammit John! You had to make it weird!

[missfinefeather]

JOHN: wait a minute! JOHN: i forgot, trolls hate cleaning products for some alien reason! shit, that's going to make everyone so uncomfortable. JOHN: oh well, there it goes. too late i guess. DAVESPRITE: ahahahaha you fucked up

xDDDDD fucking god, Karkat’s face! Is he reacting to the bucket about to hit him? Can he see through jade right now?

Davesprite is just LOVING this!

[missfinefeather]

I’m sure John has accumulated a lot of questions by now!

Wow, this is the first time they’ve met in person... First Rose who was possessed by the elderich abominations when they talked, and now Jade who is a dog. John is having no luck with these first meetings! xDDD

JADE: im not sure! JADE: some sort of limbo dimension between the two walls i guess JADE: like a realm with unusual spatial properties we have to cross through 

Well, I’m glad she doesn’t know it’s Hussie’s house. That would have been a bit much.

JOHN: we escaped the scratch? JOHN: like, we still exist and everything? JADE: yes! JADE: we still totally exist john JOHN: ok, just making sure. JOHN: i still felt pretty existy, but you never know.

It’s only been two weeks and I’ve already missed you two so much! <3

God this is going to be great! ^^

[missfinefeather]

Everything about this amazing xDDDDD

[missfinefeather]

KARKAT: SOLLUX, WHERE DID YOUR BODY GO??? SOLLUX: hell if i kn0w. ARADIA: oh nooo :( KARKAT: WAIT A MINUTE. KARKAT: WAIT JUST A FUCKING MINUTE, WHERE'S... KARKAT: SHIT KARKAT: VRISKA'S BODY IS GONE TOO! 

...what is going on? 0.0

KARKAT: OH NO, WHERE'S GAMZEE KANAYA: He Took Them KANAYA: Look At The Trails 

OH FUCK!

Please tell me he’s just preparing them for the funeral! D:

KARKAT: HE SORT OF COLLECTS BODIES AND DECAPITATES THEM AND STUFF KARKAT: STICKS THEM IN BIG SCIENCE JARS, FOR SOME REASON?? KANAYA: Im Pretty Sure He Kisses Them Too Sometimes 

Oh god oh god oh god, this could be bad! D:

ROSE: It's just that with the clarity afforded by my new abilities, it occurred to me just now that dead horse was likely the beautiful pet pony my mother gave me recently. ROSE: It was crushed to death by your newborn ass. ROSE: You bastard. DAVE: well shit DAVE: thats a hell of a mystery no one thought was a mystery and didnt even really need solving 

Well, that was a revelation that needed to happen! 0.0;

[missfinefeather]

This is an interesting shot! :O

KANAYA: You Arent Coming Then ARADIA: no ARADIA: i still have important work to do here TEREZI: 4WW >:[ 

Aww D:

SOLLUX: i'm just d0ne with this crap, this insane adventure bullshit, it's nothing pers0nal. SOLLUX: i just want to spend time with aa and chill 0ut and catch up with some 0f our dead buddies, is that 0k? 

That’s understandable!

KANAYA: Maybe I Will Stay Here Too ROSE: Why? KANAYA: As Nice As It Sounds To Move On KANAYA: I Dont Know If I Can Stand Three Of Your Human Years Of More Darkness 

NO NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONONONONONO! YOU STAY HERE WITH YOU HUMAN GIRLFRIEND YOUNG LADY!

ROSE: What outcome would you like the most? KANAYA: I Would Like To Have The Orb Again And To Keep It Safe This Time KANAYA: And I Guess To Not Be A Total Failure ROSE: Ok. ROSE: If you follow my advice, I can at least promise you will find yourself in the best position to determine whether that may come to pass. 

YES! FIGHT TO KEEP HER!

Though, I have to wonder how much of this is Rose really wanting her to come along?

ROSE: Can you please come? ROSE: Between the two of us, you with your inexplicably heretofore unmentioned phosphorescence, and I with my nigh-reflective traffic cone orange sun-sari, the meteor should never be too dark. KARKAT: (sollux, oh my god is it me or is everybody already just fucking hitting on each other left and right? oh god i can't take sweeps of this shit, don't leave me alone here, please don't) SOLLUX: ehehehehe. 

OMG his frikkin’ right! omg omg kfoewjiofewjoifewewfaewjkerjojfejoi I can’t fucking words right nowd aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

ROSE: And after that, we have to wait for one final guest to appear. 

Wait, what, really? Oh god, do you seriously mean Jack?

[missfinefeather]

ROSE: But reasonably soon, within a certain window, it will be time to leave. ROSE: We will then pilot this meteor as fast as we can make it go in that exact direction. SOLLUX: what's that way? ROSE: Nothing whatsoever. ROSE: As of now, that way lies darkness and uncertainty beyond description. 

Huh, then why go that way? Maybe she means there will be something there very soon?

DAVE: plan b DAVE: involves drawing some shitty cartoons DAVE: and not giving a fuck about stuff TEREZI: >8D TEREZI: 1 H3R3BY S3COND TH1S COOL DUD3S R4D1C4L MOT1ON ON GROUNDS OF R1D1CULOUSLY D3C4D3NT 4TT1R3 KANAYA: Yes Im Willing To Humor Elaboration On This Rap Centric Plan And Its Apathy Based Contingencies 

God, I just love that everyone is fucking here, guys? I’m so goddamned happy! ^^

I want to see Kanaya rap now! ^^

ROSE: Just as you should trust me that by the time we leave, if we leave exactly within the designated window and are able to travel at nearly the speed of light, the meteor will trace a route through the Furthest Ring which will topologically resolve as a straight line. ROSE: It will lead us directly to the new session. 

Speed of light... is this going to be a 3 year trip, too?

ROSE: If we are particularly unfortunate, we might even collide in an intersection of spacetime with a meteor piloted by our future selves. ROSE: And if we looked closely at that meteor before impact, we might notice a very large dent in it, which it originally suffered during the very collision we were about to experience.

Wibbly Wobbly timey wimey... thing...

Though seriously, this is fascinating! ^^

KARKAT: I'M GUESSING THAT MEANS IT'LL TAKE CONSIDERABLY LONGER TO GET THERE THAN IT DID TO GET HERE? 

...three years...

ROSE: It'll only take about three years. KARKAT: OK KARKAT: THAT'S NOT SO BAD I GUESS. KARKAT: WAIT, HOW LONG ARE YEARS SUPPOSED TO BE AGAIN? KARKAT: WAS IT LIKE TWO WEEKS OR SOMETHING? ROSE: Yes, two. ROSE: And then fifty more. KARKAT: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

xDDDDDDDDDD this is conversation is goddamn fantastic!

[missfinefeather]

Oh wow! This is so goddamn surreal!

God, Rose is like... RIGHT THERE next to Kanaya! What could she being thinking right now?

ARADIA: i told you they would bring your body SOLLUX: ok, well i believed y0u about that, but yeah, i can see that. SOLLUX: eugh, can s0meone get rid 0f that thing please? 

Sollux really really really want to get rid of himself xD

ROSE: Well, in my experience, a loved one, typically an elder, arranges to have the departed placed in a small box, and then forces you to stand in the rain all day. ROSE: Then, presumably winded by all the deeply ironic catharsis, she gets drunk and passes out on the couch. DAVE: oh my god we are never going to stop fucking with each other are we DAVE: even without computers 

xDDDDD omg

God I’ve missed you guys! ^^

ARADIA: i just thought it would be a nice thing to bond over SOLLUX: not everyb0dy is as into death as y0u though. like, it's c0ol t0 see you s0 excited about s0mething, i'm seriously thrilled ab0ut that. SOLLUX: but frankly it's all pretty fucking morbid t0 everybody, i just th0ught you sh0uld know. ARADIA: am i really that bad? TEREZI: Y3S >:| 

Hahaahahaha god, I’m dying! xD

TEREZI: LUCK1LY YOU M4K3 4N 4DOR4BL3 H4NDM41D TO TH3 M4ST3R OF D34TH, 3SP3C14LLY 1N YOUR CUT3 CH3RRY P1X13 3NS3MBL3

[missfinefeather]

DAMMIT! D:

[missfinefeather]

JADE: i would say JADE: if i keep our speed constant... JADE: we should arrive in about three years

!!!!!

They are going to spend 3 years on this damn ship together?

God I hope they have food here...

Can they access the dream bubbles at least?

[missfinefeather]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain cloth. Or anything taking place out here in the emerald shitty paintjob, for that matter.

*facepalm*

I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED HUSSIE WAS THE WIZARD!

[missfinefeather]

OMG! Is this where the Rose eyebrow thing comes from?

YES! MAKE OUTS! LETSA AGO!

[missfinefeather]

John! ^^

i'm sorry we can't be there for the big meetup. karkat, i deeply regret that i will not be present for these highly touted "TROLL/HUMAN SLOPPY MAKEOUTS", ha ha. maybe in three years, assuming you all aren't totally smooched out by then!!!

OMG John, just had to make it weird xDDD

rose and dave, you both look totally sweet! i can't believe you're both god tiers now. did you know jade is too? also, she has dog ears. she looks fantastic. how cool is it that we're all god tiers?

It is totally sweet! ^^ I’m so glad it all worked out like this!

vriska, if you read this, thanks again for all your help.

And now I am sad...

see you all in 3 years!!! ~john

I wish he could meet them now but... I understand his reasoning...

[missfinefeather]

KANAYA: Clown Hunting

...so baddass 0.0;;;;;;

[missfinefeather]

I love that Rose is just casually flying right now! xD

Omg, and Kanaya is looking at her, omg this whole sequence oh god I can’t handle this i’m going to explode!

ARADIA: tactically speaking a knight of time and a seer of light is a nearly unbeatable combination 

Makes sense!

DAVE: i dont really have any orders to give though DAVE: except for karkat to shut the hell up because that horseshit is more obnoxious in person than i ever imagined 

OMG Dave god my brain is melting into goop god wijroewjfeowijfowaejfoejqjiofes

KARKAT: OH WOW, I WOULD OFFER A RETORT TO YOUR VICIOUS BARB, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT UNLIKE EVERY ASSHOLE EVER, I CAN ACTUALLY FOLLOW ORDERS AND SHUT MY MOUTH! KARKAT: CHECK IT OUT, "DOGG" KARKAT: ...................................... ARADIA: yes you are off to an excellent start as a subordinate ARADIA: keep doing that! 

STOP! JUST STOP OMG!

I’m seriously losing my shit over here with glee! ^^;

TEREZI: TH4T SOUNDS 4 LOT MOR3 US3FUL TH4N MY S33R POW3RS >:[ ROSE: Illumination of the road to victory for all is an asset considerably different from command over the outcomes of decisions made by individuals. 

Lead the way Lalonde! ^^

Okay, I’m breathing, calming down. Breath. Breath. Breath....

[missfinefeather]

TEREZI: 1 4M SO SORRY YOU GUYS TEREZI: W3 4R3 4CTU4LLY 4 LOT COOL3R TH4N TH1S! DAVE: are you actually TEREZI: ... TEREZI: NO TEREZI: NO W3 AR3 NOT

KARKAT: WHO'S THE LEADER NOW? KARKAT: ARADIA ARE YOU THE LEADER NOW KARKAT: OR IS IT ROSE "I HAVE AN IDEA, LET'S TAKE THE INVINCIBLE DEMON HEAD ON!" LALONDE.
