[Okay, so, Jake accidentally hit a few buttons, so have fun watching what looks like John Egbert having a hard time with an overly affectionate Emolga. At least, it's only for a few seconds. It kind of cuts out to text when he falls down on the ground.]

[After a couple moments more, there is a proper text message.]

Jiminy frigging christmas are these pokemon things always so enthusiastic to meet new people?
Jeez.
I apologize for that spot of trouble but the rapscallion wouldnt take no for an answer!
Or stay for that matter.
At any rate is this perchance a dream bubble?
If it is its the weirdest one ive been in yet!

{OOC: It's also action for anybody in New Bark Town.}

NO, IT'S THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUCKING PAST.
WHO IS UU?

[hoperaider]

Im pretty sure that ghost had a far jollier personality.
Oh okay youre a different person im speaking to.
My mistake!
Your fonts are very similar...and your manner of talking.
uu is a person i know but i havent really spoken terribly much with him.
I mostly talk with his sort of sister UU.

[papshooshing]

YEAH, I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE.
FUCK, I DON'T EVEN REALLY *CARE.*
YOU JUST MENTIONED DREAMBUBBLES AND THAT'S WHERE I CAME FROM.

[hoperaider]

Oh i see.
Ive only been to them once so i was curious if there was a section reserved for pokemon.
Regardless i apologize for mistaking you for someone else!
My name is jake english and its nice to meet you.

[He thinks it's nice to meet this ornery guy, anyway.]

[papshooshing]

AS FAR AS I KNOW, DREAMBUBBLES ARE RESERVED FOR DEAD PLAYERS OF THE GAME.
ROSE WOULD KNOW MORE THAN I.
WELL
MAYBE NOT *THIS* PARTICULAR ITERATION OF HER.
THE ONE FROM MY POINT IN TIME WOULD IS WHAT I MEAN.
ANYWAY, SINCE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE OUT NAMES HERE LIKE FUCKING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
MINE'S KARKAT.
NO REASON NOT TO ANYMORE, CONSIDERING WE'RE ALL STUCK HERE.

[hoperaider]

Maybe they really liked pokemon?
So there are time discrepancies between everyone as well?

[papshooshing]

|:B
DON'T BE AN IDIOT.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES.
THERE ARE A FUCK TON OF TIME DISCREPANCIES.
I THINK STRIDER AND I ARE THE FURTHEST ALONG.
JOHN IS WAAAAAY BEFORE REACHING GOD TIER, WHICH IS AN UTTER SHAME IF YOU ASK ME.
ALL OF OUR TIMES RANGE BETWEEN ONE OR TWO YEARS, BASICALLY.
WHAT MAKES IT CRAZIER IS THAT SOME OF US HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR OR TWO ON TOP OF IT.

[hoperaider]

God tier?
Wow.
That really shouldnt be possible should it?
Guess i should be lucky im not a time player though.

[papshooshing]

I DON'T KNOW THE LAWS OF HOW TIME AND SPACE WORK.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, NO ONE KNOWS HOW EXACTLY WE'RE BROUGHT HERE.

[hoperaider]

Sounds like the only thing we can do is carry on huh?

[papshooshing]

MORE OR LESS, I SUPPOSE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAD ANYTHING IMPORTANT TO DO.
BESIDES
I GET TO SEE DEAD FRIENDS THIS WAY.

[hoperaider]

Well at least theres that silver lining.
Im glad youre able to see your friends despite the situation.

[papshooshing]

WHAT THE FUCK IS SILVER LINING?

[hoperaider]

It means that despite the difficulty theres still something comforting or hopeful to take from it.

[papshooshing]

MAN, YOU HUMANS COME UP WITH THE WEIRDEST SHIT FOR SAYINGS.

[hoperaider]

Hmm.
I suppose we do.
Do you have any sayings like that?

[papshooshing]

YES, BUT NOTHING SO "OPTIMISTIC."

[hoperaider]

Thats a shame.
Why not?

[papshooshing]

TROLLS ARE NOT THE FRIENDLY SORT.

[hoperaider]

You seem friendly enough though.

[papshooshing]

THAT'S BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH HUMANS FOR THE LAST SWEEP.
I AM STARTING TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR INFERIOR THINK PANS OPERATE.

[hoperaider]

Sweep?

[He's totally thinking about broomsticks.]

[papshooshing]

IT'S HOW WE MEASURE TIME.
ONE SOLAR SWEEP FOR TROLLS IS ABOUT TWO YEARS FOR HUMANS.

[hoperaider]

Fascinating.

[Sadly, his astronomy goes only as far as using it to navigate, whoops.]

[papshooshing]

NOT REALLY?
