[Static starts across the voice feed, followed by some mumbling. It seems someone accidentally clicked it on while they were fiddling with the device.]

Dude, do you remember alchemizing these? I don't remember anything like this in my sylladex... Man, speaking of, where is my sylladex?

Why are you asking me? My sylladex launched my sword into the closest tree it could find. Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it was to yank it out with a broken foot? Thanks by the way. I really wanted my toes to get touchy with your hammer. You don't even know. I'm going to get some heinous infection all up in this shit and you're going to have to amputate my foot to save my life or something. Except I refuse, but then we'll get attacked by a swarm of who the fuck even knows and tragically take them down, going down with them. You'll weep over my bloodied corpse. Why Dave? How could you leave me? You were the only bro I could have ever had such a rad bromance with. Now I have nothing. Sweet delicious tears. [Yeah, Dave has no idea where he's going with this too.]

[There's a snort and laughter from the other voice, and even without seeing it's pretty obvious someone is rolling their eyes.]

That didn't even make sense, Dave! But I guess I am sorry that the princess got his foot broken by a hammer that is not even that heavy. Can you ever forgive me?

I take offense to that. How dare you not keep my fragile, maiden tendencies to heart. I have a very delicate complexion going on. But I'll forgive you because I love you. Seriously though, where the fuck are we? I'm two years too early to be wherever we're supposed to be. Fuck if I know. Everything is kind of vague and I think I stopped giving a shit or two since nearly being a victim of trashy novels involving foursomes.

[There's a rustle of fabric. Dave had plopped down next to John, even if you can't see it.] What are you doing?

I am trying to figure out how this thing works. And I am pretty sure I am three years too early to be at the new session. Jade said it would take that long and I just sent you guys that letter. And isn't it kinda weird that we are the only ones here?

[There's more rustling as John fiddles with the functions, turning the communicator over in his hand.] Whoa! I think this thing is on.

Oh my god. You didn't get to see Karkat freak out. It was like the most embarrassing thing. You literally nailed him in the face and he had some major mental breakdown and everything.

Oh shit really? Ok. That's cool I guess. Ask someone where we are. Also if they have a can opener.

Haha, oh man, really? That sounds like something worth seeing! Ok, ok, uhh... Hello? Can anyone hear us? [He's not going to ask your dumb question about the can opener, Dave.]

[ooc| john is in blue, dave is in red!]

We kind of weren't on the ship, I think. But we were heading to the new session to try to beat it there. It's kinda complicated. I feel bad because I left my friends behind on the ship when I showed up here.

It does sound pretty complicated..

Um, I think you don't have to worry about your friends though! I've heard that time stands still back home while you're stuck here.

Whoa, really? That seems kinda cool and right up Dave's alley! Do you know if there is a way to get home from here?

There isn't one yet so far, sorry to say.. Um, the scientists sometimes randomly send people back though, so you might get lucky and be one of the next to be picked for that..?

Huh... Well maybe we can find one or something! It kinda sucks that we have been kidnapped and it would be nice if everyone could go back, wouldn't it? Instead of just one or two lucky people.

.. Actually.. I wouldn't mind staying a little longer, you know? So it's fine if you take my 'spot', so to say..

You don't want to go home?

Not really. It's.. a long and complicated story [ and one he'd definitely prefer not to tell, judging from how quickly he's skipping over these sentences ] but to sum it up I'm a lot more glad to be here, yes.

This city isn't too bad, in the end..

Oh, sorry to hear that dude. But I guess it is your choice!

Have you been here for a while?

Ehehe, thanks..

And it's been a little while by now! I think I arrived back in.. November, that's it. And it's June by now.

Wow, that's so weird! It was April before I got here. But I suppose if it could shoot me into the future three years it could also add a couple of months too. It's kinda discombobulating though.

Yeah, it really is weird, isn't it..? Although I guess you get used to a lot of weird things here, they happen all the time.

Really? What kind of stuff happens?

Um.. right around Valentine's Day everyone started getting really weird love letters posted with their name on it in the community! There was a guy who had supposedly written a love letter to bread, isn't that weird?

Haha, really? That's so lame, dude. So it was basically like those dumb Valentines you get at school?

A little like that, but..

They're not always dumb, are they? My girlfriend here got one posted for me, and I thought it was actually pretty sweet..

I guess? I mean, at school it isn't like you're just giving your crush or girlfriend a Valentine. It doesn't really mean anything because you give everyone in the room one.

It is probably different if you have a girlfriend, though.
