[WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN basically!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

This is kind of awkward, but do you know who I am?

Um…

[saying it like that, it sounds like she knows him, which probably means he should know her, but he's drawing a blank on the voice.]

Can I get a hint?

Sure.

[OOC: ALSO I JUST WANTED TO SAY I'm really glad you joined GB! ♥ I've had some threads with you on D_M and I really love your John.]

[well that makes it pretty obvious really! John stares for a moment before breaking out into a grin, which is practically audible when he speaks.]

Wait… Vriska!? Haha, this is awesome, we finally get to meet! Where are you?

[ooc: ahhhh I'm glad, thank you! I like your Vriska, too, she sounds fantastic! ♥]

I'm in my room! But I can come out. You want to meet by that big dolphin pool?

... Oh, yeah. This is also kind of awkward, but I never talked to you in the game. I left before that, so I'm from the past to you.

Sure, that sounds pretty cool! Let's do that.

Huh? You left? [what does that mean, exactly. He shrugs it off though, checking the Guide's map.] So I guess the others filled you in, then?

And I've talked to you before. Other yous. And met you in person! It just didn't happen there.

[she's heading out now, already knowing the way]

Weird. So what, does that mean it's an alternate timeline or something like that?

[starting on the way and keeping the map open so he can at least try to not get lost]

It's not really a timeline at all. Not a game one, anyway.

Okay, so… more like a different set of events? And then it just split off completely.

[this looks like the right way- wait no wrong turn ugh hold on]

I guess. That sounds kind of right, anyway.

[once she gets there, she'll just wait]

Cool.

[and then he focuses his attention on getting there, which… still means he gets there a bit after her. At least he doesn't need to spend much time actually looking.]

Vriska! [waving as he approaches] You didn't wait too long, right?

[she shrugs]

I wasn't waiting waiting. I was looking through the Guide, in case there was anything that needed my immediate attention! I'm a popular girl.

[no]

Something more important than catching up? [He affects a hurt look, which only lasts a few moments before he snorts and grins, settling next to her.] Do you know a lot of people here?

[she shrugs]

I guess. Do you know a lot of people here?

[his turn to shrug] Some! It's pretty big, I haven't met everyone yet- that'd probably take a while anyway, heh! And I guess maybe there're people who know me from… the other me who was here? It's weird.

It's totally weird. There was another me here before, too! I've never had that happen before.

Yeah. It doesn't seem like it should be that likely! But if there's a universe that explores every possibility… [he shrugs again.]

God! Can you imagine? And infinite number of uses around, doing an infinite number of things.

It's a lot of options! [he laughs, nudges her with an elbow.] I think one's pretty much enough for me right now.

[she nudges him back]

Yeah, I want to be the only me around. This ship is too awesome to contain more than one.

Haha, yeah, I think you might be right! Is there something that's the most awesome, or is it all at a pretty equal level?

You mean something that's the most awesome about me?

Weeell… I was thinking more what you find most awesome about the ship, but sure!

Oh, uh, I guess the pool's pretty awesome. And the shops.

As for me, everything about me is awesome. Duh.

Yeah, the pool is definitely cool! You saw the dolphins, right? The shops, huh? [he grins at her]

Oh, of course. How could I have thought anything different, really? [nudging her again]

of course I've seen the dolphins! I've been here for aaaaaaaages.

[not really, but it has been many months]

And you just need practice with the other thing. Some people realize it quickly, some don't!

Heh! Have you swum with them, too? [obviously this is the cool thing to do.]

It can only improve with time!

Nah. I'd rather swim alone.

Oh. Well, I guess that gives you more time to focus on improving your stroke.

I don't really care about that. I just don't want to have to deal with bumping into dolphin noses!

That doesn't sound too great. But… would they really like it so much themselves?

Good point. Maybe they'd be avoiding me.

Possibly! You won't know without trying. [he grins, leaning back] Soooo… what do you think?
