[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!]

Really? Then perhaps your version of earth is more advanced at an early age.

So it is 2012 here...? Oh man somehow we ended up in the future?? I mean, we were trying to get to this year but not here.

No, no. I am not from this planet, no one is, really. We were all brought here by the scientists just as you two were. In my world, the year is 2012 yet there are some people from my world who are from 2011 and the Cold War era.

Oh! So then we don't really know the year here?

That's correct.

The scientists have the technology to take people from different worlds as well as different times. However, I believe this planet has seen better days than this.

Yeah, I kinda figured that. This place looks like a wreck!

They say that a cataclysmic war was what destroyed this planet. Yet, about a year ago, just weeks after I first arrived, an atomic bomb was dropped.

Oh geez, and you managed to survive that? That's crazy! Who dropped it?

We still are not sure who dropped the bomb, but hours before the deed was done, the scientists sent out a warning to everyone, which was barely enough time for us to evacuate.

At least they were nice enough to warn you about it, but... That is still really awful! I wonder how the scientists knew about it to warn you guys. And it is a little unsettling that the culprit was never caught.

Having an atomic bomb dropped is not the only strange occurrence that's happened here before either. Even so, I must admit that this place has it's bright side as well.

What kind of other stuff happened?
