{{user}}: yo {{John Egbert}}: oh, hey. {{John Egbert}}: i think i pissed off your future self. {{user}}: what did you do {{John Egbert}}: i said he wasn't the real dave. {{user}}: ahahahahaha {{John Egbert}}: i think i might have really hurt his feelings though! {{user}}: pff {{user}}: dont worry about it {{John Egbert}}: why not? {{user}}: cause i wouldnt give a shit {{user}}: and hes me {{John Egbert}}: ok. {{John Egbert}}: i'm in rose's room by the way. {{user}}: what {{user}}: really {{John Egbert}}: yeah, but she's asleep! {{user}}: ok {{user}}: dont go anywhere {{user}}: im coming down to the computer {{John Egbert}}: ok.

{{user}}: dave is here he wants to use the computer {{user}}: probably to help you scope out roses room and snoop and stuff {{user}}: i mean thats what i would have done {{user}}: if you were alive {{user}}: so im gonna go {{user}}: use these flappy ghost wings and tear shit up in space or something {{John Egbert}}: sure! {{John Egbert}}: hey dave... {{user}}: what {{John Egbert}}: in case i forgot to say so before... {{John Egbert}}: thanks for saving my life! {{user}}: yeah

{{user}}: ok i dont know what youre doing here {{user}}: but i think we can both agree that youve got to rummage through as much of her shit as possible before she wakes up {{John Egbert}}: man, i don't know how i feel about that! {{John Egbert}}: i don't really like the idea of capering around her room while she's asleep, it feels weird. {{John Egbert}}: i'm going to wake her up. {{user}}: dude no come on {{user}}: shes out like a light anyway {{user}}: it was some like weird future thing that happened that made her sleep {{John Egbert}}: a future thing? {{user}}: yeah {{user}}: shit doesnt get more clear than that {{John Egbert}}: well, yeah, she won't wake up. {{John Egbert}}: so i guess so. {{John Egbert}}: but i'm not snooping!!! {{user}}: fine dont {{user}}: but here just do this one thing {{user}}: see those two notebooks on the floor behind you {{John Egbert}}: yeah. {{John Egbert}}: they look sorta like journals. {{John Egbert}}: i don't think i should read those! {{user}}: you dont have to read them im not telling you to {{user}}: what kind of prying tool do you take me for {{user}}: just pick them up {{user}}: you know like tidy up a bit since you made a royal fucking dump of her room just now {{John Egbert}}: uh, ok. {{user}}: yes {{user}}: in fact {{user}}: you can hop right through me and join them {{user}}: then you can travel with them to the new session if you like {{John Egbert}}: whoa! {{John Egbert}}: well, heck, why don't we do that then? {{John Egbert}}: it would probably be more fun with them than being on this golden battleship by ourselves. {{user}}: it probably would! {{user}}: but i cant go with you {{user}}: i can serve as a gateway {{user}}: but i cant travel to the sun myself, remember? {{John Egbert}}: oh yeah. {{John Egbert}}: dammit! {{user}}: but its ok, really! {{user}}: if thats what you wanted to do, i wouldnt mind {{user}}: but whatever you do, you have to decide quickly {{user}}: they will be departing from the sun very soon {{John Egbert}}: but i wouldn't want to leave you here all alone for three years. {{John Egbert}}: that would suck! {{user}}: i wouldnt really be alone though {{user}}: i have the population of five planets to keep me company! {{John Egbert}}: :O {{John Egbert}}: that's right. {{John Egbert}}: that makes it seem not so boring i guess. {{John Egbert}}: but still... {{John Egbert}}: i would feel really bad leaving you here, even if you do have a million salamanders and chess guys to keep you company. {{John Egbert}}: you are my friend and also my sorta-sister, and we just met for the first time ever a few minutes ago... {{John Egbert}}: i'm not going to be like, welp! see ya in three years jade! {{user}}: awww :D {{user}}: ok then {{user}}: personally, i think this trip could be a lot of fun! {{user}}: theres no pressure to do anything important or run around like lunatics anymore {{user}}: we can just relax {{John Egbert}}: yeah. {{John Egbert}}: now that you mention it, i'm pretty beat. {{John Egbert}}: also... starving!!! {{user}}: woof! {{user}}: whoops {{John Egbert}}: heheh. {{John Egbert}}: i sure hope there are things to eat on those planets. {{John Egbert}}: there were a lot of weird glowing mushrooms on lowas. i dunno about those. {{John Egbert}}: i seem to remember a bunch of farms on the battlefield... {{user}}: there should be lots of good stuff on the planets {{user}}: also i would bet this ship is stocked with plenty of military rations {{John Egbert}}: yeah, probably. {{John Egbert}}: pff, hell, we could just raid all of our fridges and alchemize some tasty grub! {{user}}: oh yeah!!! {{user}}: durrr, problem solved {{John Egbert}}: ok, cool. {{John Egbert}}: but it would still be nice to say hi to everybody before they leave. {{John Egbert}}: just to let them know how we're doing. {{user}}: yes {{John Egbert}}: like, one of the last things rose saw before she died was me dying... {{John Egbert}}: i wonder if she knows i'm ok? {{user}}: im pretty sure she knows a ton of things now {{user}}: considering she is a fully realized seer of light {{John Egbert}}: yeah, probably. {{John Egbert}}: then maybe i'll just hop over real fast, and give karkat a fist bump, and give dave a hard time about his hella tight little hood, and then hop back? {{user}}: im sure that would be hilarious {{user}}: but {{user}}: if you go i dont think i can bring you back {{user}}: i cant bring anyone or anything to here from there! {{John Egbert}}: aw man, really?? {{user}}: as far as i know... {{user}}: if theres a way i havent figured it out yet {{user}}: i am still kind of new to this omnipotence thing after all :
{{John Egbert}}: that's stupid. {{John Egbert}}: what is with all these rules! {{user}}: i dont know! {{user}}: im sure the rules exist for a good reason though {{user}}: maybe to somewhat limit the power and reach of omnipotent beings? {{user}}: if there are no limits at all, it could be especially dangerous in the wrong hands {{user}}: like what happened with jack! {{John Egbert}}: isn't that a contradiction though? {{John Egbert}}: if there are limits to your powers, you can't exactly be OMNIpotent, can you? {{John Egbert}}: more like... {{John Egbert}}: semipotent. {{user}}: then i guess thats what we are! {{user}}: semipotent demigods {{John Egbert}}: demidogs. {{user}}: woof woof woof! {{user}}: dammit!!!!!! {{John Egbert}}: heh... {{John Egbert}}: can you not control the woofs? {{user}}: i havent gotten the hang of the woofs yet :( {{John Egbert}}: so, the dog ears... {{John Egbert}}: is that a permanent thing now, or what? {{user}}: i think so {{John Egbert}}: i like them. {{user}}: i do too! {{John Egbert}}: you are like a furry now, but not really the weird kind that people on the internet like to have sex with in their imagination. {{user}}: D: {{John Egbert}}: hey, can i at least send a message through? {{John Egbert}}: like a note or something? {{user}}: sure! {{user}}: better hurry up and write it though {{John Egbert}}: oh snap! ok, gotta think, quick... {{John Egbert}}: what do i write on? {{John Egbert}}: maybe the back of a movie poster or something? {{John Egbert}}: i don't think i have one captchalogued though... {{John Egbert}}: and now that i think about it, most of them were ruined by imps. :( {{user}}: how about this one? {{user}}: looks like its still in pretty good condition {{John Egbert}}: yes, that's perfect!!! {{John Egbert}}: everyone will love it, especially probably dave. {{John Egbert}}: i think i need something to fold it up and put it in though. {{John Egbert}}: i don't want to just like crumple it up and chuck it in there like some garbage… {{John Egbert}}: i could stick it in a book i guess. {{John Egbert}}: but i kind of don't want to part with any great reading material, especially since we're going on a long trip. {{user}}: john you have to hurry! {{John Egbert}}: ok, ok, um… {{user}}: here, will this work? {{John Egbert}}: oh, yeah. i guess that'll be fine. {{John Egbert}}: now, uhhh, what to write... {{user}}: whatever you write just make it quick! {{user}}: and tell everyone i say hi! {{John Egbert}}: ok, will do. {{user}}: ok, while you work on that, i think ill bring up some friends {{John Egbert}}: huh? {{user}}: you know, let some of our travel companions get acquainted with the ship! {{John Egbert}}: wait a minute! {{John Egbert}}: i forgot, trolls hate cleaning products for some alien reason! shit, that's going to make everyone so uncomfortable. {{John Egbert}}: oh well, there it goes. too late i guess. {{user}}: ahahahaha you fucked up {{user}}: Yes. {{John Egbert}}: that... {{John Egbert}}: but... {{user}}: What? {{John Egbert}}: vriska, this is a very bizarre and unsettling fact to me! {{user}}: Why? {{John Egbert}}: because... {{John Egbert}}: man, i don't know, it just is! {{John Egbert}}: you say we dated for a while, but like, i don't even get to remember doing that? {{John Egbert}}: i think that's mostly what's weird about it. {{user}}: Hey, we apparently don't get to remem8er the results of a lot of choices we didn't actually make! {{user}}: Again, see: the 8r8ks. {{John Egbert}}: well... {{John Egbert}}: can you at least tell me what happened there? like, how did that go? {{user}}: It was fine. For a while. {{user}}: It didn't really work out. {{John Egbert}}: oh. {{user}}: We crossed paths every now and then after that. {{user}}: Things stayed pretty friendly 8etween us. {{user}}: Until he died. {{John Egbert}}: what?? {{John Egbert}}: what do you mean he died? {{user}}: He was murdered. {{John Egbert}}: you mean... his GHOST died? {{user}}: Yes. {{John Egbert}}: as in, he just doesn't exist at all anymore? like DEAD dead? {{user}}: Yes! Dead dead. For good. {{John Egbert}}: i don't... how does that even... {{John Egbert}}: who killed him??? {{John Egbert}}: was it jack? {{user}}: Jack? Are you kidding? No, John. {{user}}: Jack is 8arely in the picture as a threat anymore. He's just more old news. {{John Egbert}}: he is not old news though! {{John Egbert}}: he's still as strong and menacing as ever. {{John Egbert}}: i just had an awesome battle with him in this very dream bubble! {{user}}: You did? {{John Egbert}}: yeah. i found him skulking around a memory of my dead dad, and i got pissed off, so i really let him have it. {{John Egbert}}: oh, i even used the cool hammer you helped me make. remember that? {{user}}: Oh yeah! {{user}}: Those were good times, when I helped you 8e gr8. ::::) {{John Egbert}}: yes. {{John Egbert}}: the last time i faced him was kind of embarrassing. i let him get the drop on me, and he just stabbed me right away. {{John Egbert}}: but this time i think i held my own pretty well. i even got in one good hit against him! {{John Egbert}}: i gave him a solid bop on the head, and the dice roll made him wear a silly hat. {{user}}: That's awesome!!!!!!!! {{user}}: One time in an altern8te reality, I came pretty close to killing him apparently. {{John Egbert}}: oh really? {{user}}: You 8et. Too 8ad that was in a timeline that didn't really count. 8ut it's always reassuring to know you can put up a good fight against a strong adversary if you ever needed to. Now I guess you know you can too. {{John Egbert}}: i guess so! {{user}}: What happened after you 8onked him on the head? I 8et he was mad. {{John Egbert}}: yeah, he sure was. but our fight was interrupted by like... another taller, white jack dressed in rags. {{user}}: A white Jack? {{John Egbert}}: well, no, it wasn't actually a jack, it was someone different altogether, who just looked like him. with wings and a sword and everything. {{John Egbert}}: i think the white jack was probably a girl? i'm not sure, but that was my hunch. i didn't talk to her or anything. she looked really angry. {{John Egbert}}: anyway, he seemed scared of her, so he flew away, and she chased him. {{John Egbert}}: do you know who she was? {{user}}: No fucking clue. {{John Egbert}}: whatever jack's doing out here in dream bubble land, he seems to have his hands full with her on his tail. {{John Egbert}}: but as you can see, he is FAR from out of the picture. {{user}}: Ok, that may 8e, 8ut it sure wasn't Jack who killed a whole shitload of ghosts out here, including one of yours. {{user}}: I really dou8t Jack can even kill ghosts. In fact, I don't think anyone can except for this guy. {{John Egbert}}: what guy? {{user}}: Lord English. {{John Egbert}}: who?? {{user}}: Wow, John. Really? {{user}}: Wow. {{user}}: Time to get a clue! {{John Egbert}}: hey, are you there? {{John Egbert}}: i did what you said... {{John Egbert}}: but i can't tell if it worked. {{John Egbert}}: hello? {{John Egbert}}: you didn't fly off to fight jack yet, did you? {{John Egbert}}: i hope not. {{John Egbert}}: anyway, all that stuff you said sounds fun to me, i have hells of the cage flicks in my library. {{John Egbert}}: i do not even care that you're an alien! you see, cage is the universal constant which unites us all. {{John Egbert}}: well... {{John Egbert}}: if you haven't flown away... {{John Egbert}}: i will look forward to your message in the future. {{John Egbert}}: it would be nice to talk, about... {{John Egbert}}: all this stuff that happened. {{John Egbert}}: anyway, bye. {{user}}: OH GOD. {{John Egbert}}: hey! {{user}}: OH MY FUCKING HELL, THIS IS SO INSANELY AWKWARD AND SAD. {{John Egbert}}: what is??? {{user}}: HANG ON {{user}}: remember how you told me how karkat kept sort of trying to set you up with rose? {{John Egbert}}: yes. {{user}}: you told me this on more than one occasion if i recall! {{John Egbert}}: what is your point! {{user}}: well, i have kind of wondered to myself if you kept bringing that up because on some level you wanted that to be true... {{John Egbert}}: oh man. {{John Egbert}}: jade, listen. {{John Egbert}}: at this point i could not give less of a rat's ass about romancey stuff! {{John Egbert}}: i would rather just play some games, and chill out for several years on this magical flying boat. is that too much to ask? {{user}}: not at all! that is perfectly fine {{John Egbert}}: when i catch up with our buddies, i'm sure i will give rose a nice, FRIENDLY hug. {{user}}: aww {{John Egbert}}: whereas i will offer dave a tender bro embrace, and shove karkat down a flight of friendship stairs. {{user}}: heheheheh {{John Egbert}}: but that is IT. {{John Egbert}}: it's all very complicated and bothersome, jade. {{user}}: what? {{John Egbert}}: you know. matters of the heart. {{user}}: snicker {{John Egbert}}: ok, you may laugh at my choice of words, but it is true. {{John Egbert}}: it's really befuddling and distracting when you are on a major quest to make universes out of frogs. who even needs it? {{user}}: i guess you have a point {{John Egbert}}: like... {{John Egbert}}: you remember that troll girl who was sort of into me? {{user}}: mm hm {{John Egbert}}: well, ok. {{John Egbert}}: that seemed like a pretty big deal at the time! {{John Egbert}}: it really seemed like she liked me, but also, she was probably insane? {{John Egbert}}: like, i mean, in a trollish, murderous kind of way. {{user}}: yikes {{John Egbert}}: but craziness notwithstanding, i didn't really know what to think. {{John Egbert}}: i guess i thought she was cool at the time. i was honestly kind of flummoxed about it. {{John Egbert}}: but the point is, when all was said and done, that was just some stuff that happened over one day, which was a whole year ago already. {{John Egbert}}: i barely even remember what we talked about. by the time we meet up, she probably won't give a shit about me at all. {{John Egbert}}: which, let's face it, is probably for the best. {{user}}: ..... {{John Egbert}}: i think we make things more meaningful in our head when they're happening than they really are. like realistically? there were probably a lot of things that went on that day that didn't mean that much. {{John Egbert}}: like remember how you said you thought karkat was getting this silly angry crush on you? {{user}}: that was just my hunch {{John Egbert}}: yeah. {{John Egbert}}: i mean, do you really think after three years he is still going to have the rage hots for you? {{user}}: i sincerely doubt it {{user}}: at least {{user}}: i hope not ._. {{John Egbert}}: i don't think even he is that crazy. {{John Egbert}}: anyway, my point is, who even cares about all that? {{John Egbert}}: romance and dating are dumb and boring. we are legendary heroes, and we have bigger fish to fry. like that smug fatass over there on the horizon. {{John Egbert}}: he sure looks pleased with himself. just look at him, he thinks he is the undisputed king of that mountain or something. {{user}}: that is so outrageous {{John Egbert}}: follow me so we can seize the high ground against this hideous ocean dwelling marshmallow man, and steal all of his treasure. {{user}}: after you!
