SO LET ME SEE IF I'VE GOT THIS RIGHT, BECAUSE AFTER AN INFODUMP LIKE THAT MY THINKPAN IS THREATENING TO SPLIT APART FROM THE SHEER FORCE OF HOW BULLSHIT THIS ALL IS.

MY FRIENDS AND I GET DRAGGED SCREAMING AND FLAILING INTO AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS-INDUCING BID TO LEAVE EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER KNOWN BEHIND IN THE HOPES OF MAKING SOMETHING BETTER, GET BLOCKED ON THAT AT EVERY TURN, DIE OR COME CLOSE TO IT A WHOLE FUCKING LOT, SPEND THREE EARTH YEARS ON THE SHITTIEST POSSIBLE ROUTE THROUGH PARADOX SPACE TO THE BIG FINAL SHOWDOWN, COME THROUGH THAT WITH OUR MORTAL HUSKS MORE OR LESS UNSCATHED, AND *NOW* YOU'RE TELLING ME I'VE BEEN SHOOSHED TO YET ANOTHER NONSENSE-INFESTED CORNER OF REALITY?

TO FIX THINGS?

IS THERE ANY END TO THIS OVERTORQUED CAROUSEL OF MADNESS, OR ARE WE ALL SUPPOSED TO HOLD ON UNTIL WE'RE FLUNG TO OUR DOOM OR COVERED IN OUR OWN VILE STOMACH CONTENTS??

((OOC: Karkat hasn't taken the oath yet. Also, anyone who doesn't want to deal with trolltext can opt out here or simply reply with voice/video. He'll match you!))

To be honest? It's probably that second one.

Your capslock function is a friend, not your rented mule to beat whenever you need to carry a thought.
Did I miss a memo and we're all picking stupid font colors now?

The whining might get a little more sympathy if people could READ it.

You get hit on the head or something? Cause normal people don't type like that.

Am I the only one not having problems reading this?

[Maybe it's because he's left his omnicomm on the default settings, so the text is darker against a white background.]

At least you've got valuable experience you can give to the rest of us, right? For what it's worth, I'm sorry you're having to go through everything all over again.

[Oh. Holy shit. If he'd had any doubts about it being Karkat based just on the text, they're quickly extinguished by that distinctive vocabulary. Dave scrambles to send a reply but pauses as he goes to actually type something, because what does one say in this situation? "Oh my god I wasn't sure if I'd ever see you again"? "I missed you"? "Where the fuck are you because I need to come find you right now"?

In the end, he takes a moment to calm himself and plays it cool.]

yo
took you long enough
i was beginning to think i was stuck here alone with the baby justice league forever

i'm just going to assume the text thing is a thing for a reason, and if it isn't it's fun watching everyone go nuts over it anyway.

so hi. my name is rich rider. i also go by nova prime. all the stuff you said about existential-crisis-inducing bids to change things, and dying or coming close to it a whole lot, is pretty goddamn familiar. a lot of the people here carry around shovels to deal with all the bullshit they find themselves dealing with.

to answer your question, the end goal is destroying chronoblivion. hopefully after we've saved pretty much every universe ever, we might be able to go home. right now, the being that brought us all here, the time trapper, he apparently stuck us to this universe with some kind of quantum whatsit and he might stop trying to keep us here when the threat's gone.

if youve already been through something like this before, why are you acting so shocked about it?
