discedo | ≈ first breath; voice

[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!]

Not named after. I am Hong Kong. [ He says this with the practiced ease of someone who says it all the time. ]

Haha! Good one. You had me going there for a second.

I'm totally serious.

[ See his serious expression? ]

[John doesn't really believe in pokerfaces. His best bro is Dave after all.]

I'm not dumb, being a country is not even physically possible.

[ Hong Kong has a pokerface 24/7. And has been compared to Dave before, actually.... ]

There's plenty of other countries here too, y'know. Maybe you'll meet a few.

[John needs more pokerfaced people in his life just to make it hard.]

Like what countries?

Right now? Lemme think. America's here, my brother Macau, China, Taiwan, Vietnam... England and his girl doppleganger, Canada. Hungary, Greece... and Norway.

That might be all of them for now.

Ugh, that sounds crazy. But I guess it's not really the weirdest thing I have seen. Are you sure you aren't trying to prank me right now?

I usually wait 'til after I've introduced myself to do that. [ It's true. ]

Well, I'm not really easily prankable, dude! Just for future reference. I'm the pranking master.

[Except he's not but he doesn't know that.]

Y'know, in some places that'd be considered a challenge. [ And that is how he is most likely going to read it. ]

Yeah, I know. That's why I said it.

I like the way you think. [ Discedo, it's time to run and hide. ]

[This is going to end terribly for everyone.]

Then I guess this will be a prank war of awesome proportions. If you're actually good at it.

I can't really turn you down now, can I? I've gotta give you a taste of what I can do.

[ That might very well be a hint. Or he's just being cheeky. ]

[If it was a hint it was lost on John.]

Then let the prank off begin!

D'you need a headstart? I mean, you just got here. Seems fair.

[ He is a very honorable prankster. ]

No way, dude! A prankster is ready whenever, wherever.

If you're like, totally sure. [ Because he's already using this video to figure out where you might be. And if that fails, then he's going to use one of his secret troll contacts - no, this this not that secret. He'll probably ask Terezi.... ]

Completely sure. Are you sure you're ready?

[It's too bad he won't be where he is much longer, since he's waiting on a ride from someone. But Terezi is always an excellent source.]

I'm always ready. [ He's already running through ideas in his head.

And he would appreciate if Terezi helped out somehow. Again, in the interest of fairness! ]

[Two against one isn't fair!! He'll just have to enlist the help of Dave!]

Awesome. Then expect the unexpected.

[ Two on one is pretty fair when you consider Hong Kong's 170 years-old. He has way more experience. ]

I always do, don't you?

Yeah! You kinda have to with a dad like mine.

Oh, so it's like, genetic?
