uh... hello? does anybody read these memo things?
is this some kind of prank? i wouldn't put it past terezi to pull something dumb like this.
so terezi if you're reading this can we just go through the "gotcha" moment and can you send me back?

anyways if you are NOT terezi and this is NOT a prank could somebody please tell me what's going on?
because last thing i can remember i was running a bunch of weird time errands for an alien girl.
and then i woke up here in a bed that is definitely NOT mine because it doesn't have cool ghost bed sheets.
also apparently i have a mom now?
she is nice i guess and this lunch box looks delicious, don't get me wrong!
but i was doing some important things!
i don't have time to be playing with this cloud bird thing!!!
(though it is a very cute cloud bird, i will give it that.)

i have tried to get back but my weird time jumping powers do not seem to work here.
and i cannot even fly anymore which is such bullshit! i forgot how lame it was to walk around everywhere.
also my sylladex is gone. so i don't have any of my cool computers or weapons.
instead i just have a backpack and this lame "poke gear" thing which doesn't even have pesterchum installed.
so. yeah.
could somebody fill me in, please?

yeah i do!
he was a little shouty troll who tried to troll me backwards with time shenanigans.
but in the end he really only trolled himself.
he made me a shipping chart once.

why? do you know a dude named karkat, too?

[yanginthere]

yeah i do
hes loud!
and angry a lot
i know dock workers with cleaner mouths than his
not for a lack of trying on my part

[harlequinhater]

hahahaha, yeah that sounds like the same karkat that i know!
his insults are hilarious.
once you learn that he is just a harmless gray alien, anyways. they were pretty annoying before then.

[yanginthere]

i dont want to encourage him
jade does a good job of keeping him in line
but shes not always around
and i think i lost dave to the cause weeks ago

[ NOT THAT SHE FEELS BETRAYED OR ANYTHING ]

[harlequinhater]

well no shit!
dave swears all the time. he just seems more casual about it because he talks in lowercase letters.
like, with karkat, the FUCK is just right there for the world to see! it's very bold.
but dave just sneaks them in there all stealthy-like among his weird metaphors and stupid rapping.

[yanginthere]

ive never heard dave rap before

[ not sure if she should be thankful of that or not. ]

[harlequinhater]

you know.... i am not actually sure i have ever heard him rap either.
but i've seen his raps. textually, i mean.
....though admittedly i skimmed most of them.

[yanginthere]

you made me curious about it
so now ill have to pester him about it soon

[harlequinhater]

if you want to ask him then i will not stop you.
but you might want to bring ear plugs. you know, just in case.

[yanginthere]

haha if you say so

either way im sure theyll be happy to see you
people can come in groups from the same world
or even separately
but the more the merrier right?

[harlequinhater]

right!
i hope that more of my friends make it here. wherever here is.
i really miss some of them.

[yanginthere]

i know the feeling
theres no telling how long any one of us will be here so
you never know

its only been a couple of months for me
but ive heard of and talked to some people that have been here for years

[harlequinhater]

THAT long? dang, that kind of sucks if they left people back home.
though i guess this isn't a terrible place to be stuck for a while.
it seems like there are a lot of nice people and fun things to do.

[yanginthere]

yeah its not so bad
the animals are cute
the food is pretty good
it doesnt cost too much just to get by
traveling is a pain but thats what teleporting is good for

oh hey
if you talk to dave you should ask him about that
thats how they got me out of new bark
