[After much tinkering, someone will pop up on the network-- another one of those gray troll people --this one with fluffy black hair, curved ram's horns, and a bit of a frown tugging at her lips. She isn't necessarily sad. Just. Here.]

This was not what I had in mind. [She mumble for a moment before addressing why she is filming herself.]Excuse me

[Equius Lalonde prides himself on his ability to maintain his composure. Unfortunately, like everyone else in the world, he has a weakness, a kyrptonite, you could say]

[And Aradia never fails to make him absolutely stupid. He's just used to her being more, well... human.]

[But still.]

[Aradia]

[So beautiful and graceful and unyielding and oh~ /swoon]

Hello, beloved. [Sup, Aradia, this blond human boy is giving you his smarmiest most charming smile, looking oh so cool with his pueple shades] You may not recognize me, but I certainly recognize you. I have been waiting for you.

[Oh sweet fuck, what is this.

Aradia kind of stares into the screen for a second, perking a slender brow with a slightly unsure twinge in her voice.]

Excuse me...?

[Eerily familiar, sure. But it's not clicking right away. Give her a second.]

[He will give her all the seconds. Or maybe not, since technically she already has them all]

Would it help if I said my name is Equius?

[rosepyres]

Equius--

[She blinks and wrinkles up her nose. Rather bluntly.]

... What happened?

[mirthfulness]

Well if it ain't the livin' dead girl. Look at our little group up and expandin' here.

[rosepyres]

Gamzee.

I am surprised to see you here as well.

[A few blinks and she tilts her head.]

Just how many of us are here? Do you know?

[mirthfulness]

Ain't counted.

Don't give a motherfuck about the numbers.

But there's most of us and double some.

[rosepyres]

[... Odd.]

At least I am not alone here. That is supposed to be... Comforting... Right?

[spinitagain]

Not what any of us had in mind. Or time for.

[Dave pauses in mid-stride to put his full attention to the message.]

Pretty sure this isn't a time blip, doesn't feel like it. But I can only jump for five minutes at a time.

[rosepyres]

Then it is just a complete universal disruption?

[Video]

[spinitagain]

More like we got snatched up like snacks and dumped in another universe. And there are distortions of the timelines we know. [He makes a face, gesturing to the record on his shirt with the cancer symbol.] Probably not the Dave you know, for instance.

[She stares for a moment, taking note of this.]

This is more confusing than I was going to give it credit for...
