Hello
I Admit I Am A Little Unsure As To How To Start Off Something Like This
It Is Difficult To Go About An Introduction When You Have Been Transported In What Was No Doubt A Forcible Manner To An Unfamiliar Place While On The Brink Of Complete Existential Rewrite
But I Suppose It Is Something That Must Be Done No Matter What Degree Of Panic One Is ( Read more... )

[ Have a human with blue hair, Kanaya--he recognizes the quirk as hers, having met the other one, but is well aware that this is most likely an alternate, especially since she introduced herself.

And also an entirely confused newbie, so he'll be doing his best to offer what he can. ]

You came in at something of an unfortunate time... none of us are really sure what it means, but I might be able to at least offer you some basic information. I helped write a guide with a girl named Rose--I can send you the link if you'd like, we've saved the file on this server.

[ Since they kept taking down the fliers he'd busted his ass to put up. Sob. ]

[It's a little while before there's any response -- likely for her to debate on if she should turn on video or not. But eventually, she does. She's still clad in the strange white suit provided on arrival, with no sign of her Virgo symbol anywhere. She also looks like she's trying her best to stay composed; probably so her face won't flush with her blood color. The degree of success she's having keeping her cool is arguable, but she can talk to the boy, at least.

There's a flicker of recognition in her face at the name "Rose". She doesn't point it out, though.]

I see. I would greatly appreciate this, if it would not be too much trouble to you.

It's no trouble at all, I'm glad to help.

[ Give him a moment, and you're sent this. He offers her a small smile of what he hopes is at least somewhat welcoming. He doesn't comment on her appearance at all; it's not how he is, after all, and if she wanted a comment, assumed she'd ask. ]

I realize this tower is disorienting and dangerous, but I do hope there are some things I can do to make things a bit easier, at least.

My name is Minato, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

[Her facial expression goes through a few more changes than she'd like to admit, particularly when she reaches the part about timelines, as well as the catalog of all the different worlds known to the authors of the letter. There's surprise, and concern, and anger at points -- quite a bit of anger. But eventually, she draws in a deep breath -- two, three of them, to calm herself down before she speaks.]

Thank you very much. That was incredibly informative. I am impressed at your information-gathering skills.

[Despite still being a little freaked and no small amount of frustrated, she gives a small smile, to be polite and stave off the temptation to start raging. This human has already been very helpful to her; it wouldn't do to startle him off.]

It is nice to meet you as well, Minato.

[Whoa. Weird. Is this the Kanaya Karkat was talking about?]

HOW D1D YOU D3C1PH3R TH4T? >:O

reddeadvirgo November 29 2011, 05:42:29 UTC

[Oh god. Oh god. No way. There is no way.

Okay. Stay cool. The quirk is a little different and the color is totally off. Maybe it's not her. Thankfully, the slight pause between Terezi's message and the response is just short enough to be interpreted as Kanaya having to think about her explanation.]

In Truth There Was Not Much Deciphering To Do
The Message Was Relatively Clean Once I Found it
It Was Just A Matter Of Digging For It
And Incidentally It Was Buried Well Amongst All The Nonsense
I Would Likely Not Have Come Across It Had I Not Been Intent On Snooping
I Could Not Get Any Further Than This Though

[Oh good lord that laugh. She can almost hear it through the text.]

Ah
Thank You
I Have Not Been Here For Very Much Time At All
At Least Not While Conscious And Aware
I Am Not Sure How Long I May Have Been Asleep

[...Oh, dear. Naminé knows that name, she knows what a newcomer sounds like, and she also knows about the tower's tendency to mess around with multiple universes. If she hadn't already been inclined to help, that would have been enough to make her speak up anyway.]

Hello. Don't worry your introduction was fine. I'm sorry I know it's hard when you first wake up here but did you read the letters? [Since they're usually a good starting point.]

Thank You
I Do Not Recall Any Letters
Though I May Have Missed Something As I Was Panicking Even Worse When I First Woke Up

[Text] lethechained November 30 2011, 00:49:53 UTC

You're welcome.

There should have been some in your room when you woke up but I understand why you might have missed them. At least there usually are when people arrive so if there really aren't I'm not sure why.

If They Are A Constant In Every Other Scenario Then I Am Sure They Are Present In My Room As Well
It Is Probable That They Merely Escaped My Notice
Since I Was Not Eager To Stay In That Room After I Could Move Again
I Will Check When I Return As Im Sure I Will Inevitably Have To Go Back There

Fussyfangs????????
W8, w8. Are you another duplic8 from a doomed timeline?

reddeadvirgo November 30 2011, 05:24:04 UTC

[Okay that's Karkat's font color, and part of his quirk, but, that nickname...]

Strictly Speaking I Was Not Present For The End Of My Universe Even Though I Should Have Been
But
I Think Doomed Is An Accurate Term To Describe It
So Yes I Will Go Ahead And Answer In The Affirmative To This Question
Even Though I Am Not Comfortable With Being Referred To As A Duplicate

craaaaaaaazy8s November 30 2011, 05:28:38 UTC

I meant an offshoot of our alpha timeline, 8ut whatever!
If you're typing in Vantas' 8lood color and hiding the same ridiculous 8lood color secret 8ehind it then you can't 8e my Kanaya!
Which makes you the duplic8 8ecause we were the alpha timeline. ::::)

reddeadvirgo November 30 2011, 06:09:34 UTC

[Her heart sort of hurts. Um.]

From My Perspective You Are The One Typing In Karkats Color
And My Universe Performed The Scratch As Far As I Know
So It Is Hard To Say Definitively Which Came First I Would Imagine
Since I Have No Way Of Knowing What Would Logically Follow Once The Deed Is Done

[...her text...]

I CAN THINK OF A FEW GOOD WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE PLACE YOU'VE BEEN WHISKED AWAY TO.
WE AFFECTIONATELY REFER TO IT AS "THE FUCKING TOWER".
WE BEING ME, SINCE IT HASN'T CAUGHT ON AS QUICKLY AS I WOULD'VE LIKED.

NOT GOING TO "WELCOME" YOU HERE, BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS FULL OF SHIT,
BUT I CAN SAY THAT THAT NUGGET OF INFORMATION YOU'VE GIVEN WILL PROBABLY BE PRETTY USEFUL.
NO CLUE WHAT FOR YET, BUT HEY ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING AT THIS POINT.

AND IN CASE IT'S NOT OBVIOUS TO YOU FROM WHATEVER TIMELINE YOU SPLIT INTO,
I'M KARKAT.

[text] wow self way to take forever to notice a typo reddeadvirgo November 30 2011, 06:34:09 UTC

[She's having a similar reaction on the other side of the screen. It probably shows a little in the amount of time it takes for her to respond.]

Oh
Well That Is A Very Foreboding Nickname To Have To Be Frank
I Will Make My Decision On Adopting It After I Have Become More Well Acquainted With The Location
I Do Hope That What I Have Uncovered Will Become Useful To Someone If It Is As Terrible Here As You Say
Especially If It Is Conductive To Assisting People In Understanding Why They Are Here

[There is a small pause.]

I Had An Inkling As To Your Identity
It Is Nice To Meet You Karkat
Or As Nice As It Could Be In The Circumstances We Respectively Find Ourselves In
Thank You For The Not Welcome

[He decides it's best to lock this from here on, just to be sure.]

LIKEWISE, I'M SURE.
SO WAS IT THE CAPSLOCK OR SOMETHING ELSE?
KARKATS SEEM TO HAVE A LOT IN COMMON OVER ALL THESE WEIRD TIMELINES.
NOT THAT I'M PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THAT.
THAT'S ALL EXISTENCE NEEDS, MORE "ME"S WITH INCORRIGIBLE PERSONALITIES.

[text - locked] reddeadvirgo December 4 2011, 04:38:04 UTC

[She accordingly makes sure to lock hers too. It's not obvious through her text, but she's thankful for the precaution.]

It Was A Combination Of Your Quirk And Similar Written Nuances
I Am Well Acquainted With The Mannerisms Of My Karkat
So I Think Intuition May Have Also Been A Factor As Absurd As That Likely Sounds
If It Is Acceptable For Me To State You Did Not Impress Yourself As That Incorrigible Upon Me
It May Be That I Am Simply Accustomed To Greetings Of A Harsher Nature Though
