[ He turns VIDEO on and... oh... that is like a tiny mirror. Okay. There's some breathing and the feed catches the ceiling. ]

[ What does this button do? ]

[ TEXT. It turns into the magical paper the young Dave used. ]

[ OKAY. What if he toggled between -- oh that works. He's going to toggle between the two options really fast now. ]

I haven't heard the word "timeline" used in this situation. Everybody throws around "Alternate Universe" a lot, however.
No. It's Meenah. Meenah Peixes, Her Imperious Condescension.

[fabricates]

Vantas pro8a8ly fucked everything up when he was doing his ecto8iology thing. Or I guess Eg8ert did? I didn't think there could 8e overlap 8etween the universes aside from the connection where we cre8ed yours.
If it's an altern8 universe, that would have to 8e 8ecause of a scratch or something. So either ecto8iology caused an offshoot timeline or Eg8ert's scratch went horri8ly wrong.
Is this Imperious Condescension of yours grey? With horns?

[kingdomsgambit]

No, I'm afraid she isn't.
She looked rather normal to me, save for her hair.
She had a lot of hair.

[fabricates]

Trolls are turning into humans? Ugh, what went wrong with the world that trolls were cursed into your thin-skinned bodies?
What was the name of your world, anyway? Was it Earth or Alternia?
........Have you ever heard the name Vriska Serket?

[kingdomsgambit]

The world is Skaia, and I'm ruling over Prospit.

[ Oh. Vriska. Ummmmm. This is not awkward or anything. It takes a while for him to reply. Should he tell this person--? No, that's probably not appropriate here. ]

Yes.
She is the Queen of Derse, Queen Maryam's wife and half of the infamous Scourge Sisters along with Lady Pyrope.
Why do you ask?

screeches quietly at that missed b in my tag

[fabricates]

Derse? What the hell? I was a Prospitian in Sgru8! That's such 8ullshit.
Anyway, Vriska Serket? That's me.
Skaia and Prospit were Sgru8 constructs too. Sounds like Eg8ert really fucked up somewhere.

[kingdomsgambit]

Well, she could be born Prospitian. I hardly know much about her background.

Ah. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Serket.
Are you from the same reality as Dave Strider, Jake English and Dirk Strider?

[fabricates]

Ms.? What is that, some kind of stupid human formality?
It's either Vriska or Serket, 8ut cut the crap with that Ms. stuff.
Sort of, 8ut not really. The same reality, 8ut different timelines. At least, that's how it is with Dave.
I 8n't got a clue a8out the other two you mentioned.

[kingdomsgambit]

Yes. Sorry, Vriska.
I'm too used to court formality.

Oh. But aren't Dave and Dirk related?
This is all very confusing.

[fabricates]

I don't know, I never really paid attention to Strider's viewport.
He had a weird human lusus like the other humans. May8e Dirk is that man-lusus, may8e not.
I don't really care enough to find out. Haven't met him, don't really give a shit if I do or don't.
One Strider is a 8ig enough pain in my ass.

[kingdomsgambit]

"Man-lusus"?
I happen to be very fond of Striders, but I suppose an opinion is an opinion.

This is a rather unrelated topic though. Tell me about yourself.

BUTTS IN SPECTACULARLY

[goodboybestshot]

Pardon me but what the flipping goshdarn fuck?
Your mom is who??

[private] [sorry, poptart]

[fracturedsoul]

Yo, repose yourself, Jake.
Surely you've seen enough movies you have an idea what happens to the guy who knows too much.

[private]

[goodboybestshot]

I well yeah obviously but...
Youre not suggesting that john is on the side of the batterwitch are you?
I guess i hardly know the fellow but he doesnt strike me as evil.

[private]

[fracturedsoul]

I think I might have an idea of what's going on, but I need to gather more information before I say anything about it.
In the meantime, don't prematurely blow your wad all over this situation, got it?

[private]

[goodboybestshot]

Of course.
Care to elaborate?

[private]

[fracturedsoul]

Can it wait? Whenever I try to think about your and Jane's grandparents my brain basically turns into a radio tuned between stations. Formalizing a hypothesis in actual words is going to take forever.

[private]

[goodboybestshot]

Oh!! Well shit sorry strider.
I hadnt realized you were having a case of cagey memories.
Feel free to let me know whenever you would like.

[private]

[fracturedsoul]

No problem, it happens.
I'll get back to you ASAP.
In the meantime, try not to say anything retarded.

[private]

[goodboybestshot]

Your faith in me is astounding.

[kingdomsgambit]

Meenah Peixes.
Personally, I've never met her, though seeing that I took over her throne, I had to clean up her mess.
Trust me, it's a humongous mess.
