who has some happy news they would be willing to share?
seriously, anything i don't care how insignificant of a thing you think it is. it doesn't have to be something earth-shattering or life changing, the only requirement is that it's something happy.
i just want to hear that SOMEBODY out there is having a good day today.
because april 13th is rarely anything other than an overall disappointment for me, no matter what universe i'm in.
i am beginning to wonder if it's just some kind of unspoken rule.
hell, now that i think about it, it doesn't even have to be something that actually happened today.
i want to hear about anything in your life that has ever made you happy. the more recent the better, but it can be stuff from back home too.
there's only one more thing i wanted to ask about, and that is the other father.
he went back home earlier this week. the last time this happened i was...well i didn't deal with it as well as i should have, let's just leave it at that. i ignored some things that should have been obvious and should have been taken care of.
but i am a bit more prepared this time. or at the very least, it didn't hurt quite as much.
that being said, is anybody watching his house at the moment?
i have been giving it some thought the past couple of days and i am very seriously considering going back and continuing what he started. well, in a way.
because i am not the other father by any stretch of the imagination so it wouldn't be quite the same sort of deal but i do think having a somewhere for people to be able to call home when they otherwise don't have one is a good thing.
but i still have things i have to do over in kanto and i am not sure how long it will be before i can get back to goldenrod.
or if i would be stepping on any toes with this, i mean if somebody already has it covered then that's fine.
but if nobody does then hey? why not me?
that's what i figure, anyway.
so uh...basically, tl;dr: who's watching the other house right now and if the answer is nobody, would somebody mind occasionally just...popping over there for me once in a while?
to make sure it doesn't get demolished or something like that. i don't know how stuff like this works, i have never owned a house or anything like that before.
or if he even left it to anybody or anything like that. houses have deeds and shit, right? he built the place himself so that just makes this all the more confusing...
i guess what i am saying is: i call dibs if nobody else has already. to put it as simply and admittedly childishly as possible.

or stabbed
because both those things seem to happen a lot and im growing slightly concerned
and yes you will! i think that hayate said they tried to plan it so there was something in kanto and johto both
which sounds smart
i do want to do a parade thing for christmas still
i spoke about it with francis
text;
maybe we're both just genetically predisposed to incredibly shitty luck which likes to manifest itself in injury.
but i promise it's definitely not something i aim to do on purpose. though for the record, i have yet to actually be stabbed.
and i intend to keep it that way!
ooo...a parade would be fun.
sounds like you are turning into quite a party planner, huh?
text;
yet
i know none of them have been here apparently but
anyway i will help you with your goal! :D
of not being stabbed i mean
it sounds like a neat goal
we can be in the club of people who dont die or get stabbed
and have badges and stuff for it
haha i wasnt even the one who initially thought of it so i take no credit!
but i think its mostly
i like to see people here
and with everyone so spread out it takes an event to bring them together
i dont know if you knew this too but
we didnt have many parties back home :o
Re: text;
somehow that is just an instant -10 to "yet" joke funniness.
at the very least.
but can we really have a club like that here? where we supposedly can't die.
yeah, i had gathered that much. between things vriska has told me and what kanaya said at the prom it was a little obvious.
i guess i'm kind of used to it though, in a way?
since we were all spread out before we came here and we never...all got the chance to be together until we came here.
so i feel you. it's really nice to be able to see everybody together at once.
text;
its something that sticks with you
oh theres john that kid who got stabbed
but i have warned you about the stabbing so we are ahead of the game!!
and i dont see why not
we cant die permanently isnt that the case?
i mean what actually happens if you sustain an injury that kills you?
also are we functionally immortal or is old age a thing
either way i am fully on team alive its a nice team
yes!
because you were all spread out much like we were
we can also be in the seeing everybody club
because i think some of our friends refuse to join that one
[ aaaaaaaand straight from "cheerful things" into morbid thoughts SORRY JOHN, this is what you get for talking to Aradia. ]
text;
christ did i really get stabbed THAT much? that is a terrible first impression!
i don't really know the answer though.
part of me kind of hopes that we aren't actually immortal. i mean i love it here and i certainly don't want to die anytime soon but...
i dunno.
wow this suddenly got really morbid. i'm thinking we should talk about something else before this conversation goes any further down that path.
i like the sound of this club.
who's being a stick in the mud?
text;
although i didnt really watch them like some of the others did
the first time i ever saw you-you you were getting stabbed! :o
although id talked to dead yous before
who are all quite nice of course!!
whoops!!
what should we talk about?
haha gosh who isnt
karkat and sollux are the most likely suspects
they dont like travel
from one region to another especially :p
equius also seems opposed to parties and im not sure why
eridan is also opposed
um
so basically trolls instead of humans are sticks in the mud
[ ...All the guys, basically, too. ]
text;
maybe we can have that conversation some other time when the mood is uh...a little better.
than this one currently.
except for you and kanaya though, right? :P
you both seemed like you were enjoying yourselves.
text;
i need to think up a doom pun or joke so sollux can eat his words!
thats important if you know any
definitely!!!!!
i really like dancing
and parties
although she raised her eyebrows at my shoe choice :o
terezis pretty fun at a party too :)
text;
what's the context of the joke?
yeah terezi too! how did i forget her wow i feel dumb now.
because she is definitely somebody you want to have at basically all the parties ever.
[Actually she seemed a little down and it made him sad. :(]
text;
because thats solluxs thing and he said my jokes sucked :/
and i have yet to prove him wrong!!
haha probably because there are so many of us!
and were all scattered to the four corners of the world more or less
text;
if i think of something, i will let you know.
we really are. but that's ok.
i mean we should definitely get all together for like...christmas and stuff.
but trying to herd that many people in a travel group ALL THE TIME is a headache, let me tell you.
text;
i dont want to think about that
its hard enough to get our current group of five through cities on a timely manner
considering we all have varied goals
besides im pretty certain we need to keep some of the others separate
just in general
text;
yeah. i mean, don't get me wrong i love getting to spend time with everybody!
but when traveling is concerned, it's just...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasljdghs.
almost makes you sick of people sometimes.
trying to get out of violet was the worst, i swear there were like...almost 20 of us?
dumbest idea ever.
DUMBEST!!!!!!!!
text;
i feel the same
i mean
perhaps my opinion is colored because there were twelve of us
in the game i mean
and getting everyone to be on the same page and to agree to a set of goals
was sort of impossible
at least when it came to what they thought they were doing
i dont even want to imagine travelling with a huge group right now
five is quite adequate in terms of travel partners
although didnt your group meld with karkats for a little or did you guys split up again
text;
yeah, karkat's group is still with us.
so it's me, rose, dave, jane, karkat, vanitas, and terezi now.
dave's bro and rose's mom and their friend valeria were with us until prom, but they went ahead to cerulean for now.
i think they were getting sick of pewter.
we are going to head that way ourselves once jane wakes up.
text;
hm thats not too bad
i mean it could be worse
seven is only two over five
but if we were all together wed have twelve
or fifteen if bro mom and val joined back up
i think our plan is to continue on linearly from cianwood asap
just need to sort out our badges
text;
or like...just temporarily happen to cross paths sort of deal.
like oh man what a coincidence this is! we were in this city and now you are too! did you come for your badges?
cool, cool.
ok bye now.
that's what we're doing over here in kanto.
going the way nintendo intended.
even though i already have over half the badges and none of them were in order. oh well.
text;
after all having different teams makes us more mobile
i think if wed all stayed together id have a lot less done already?
no offense
i think i am mostly in order now
my first one was out of order but from then on out we went straight
what do you plan to do once youve got all the badges?
text;
no offense taken because you are totally right about that.
i...am not sure yet.
like i said, i am kind of thinking about taking over the other house now that dad is gone but.
idk.
that's a big decision to make and something i need to talk to rose about too.
see what she wants to do.
text;
well as long as you two let us know what you decide
so we can pop in
although i assume you will let us know!
text;
what kind of friends would we be if we didn't tell anybody something like that?
text;
text;
i guess if it was something like "we didn't tell you right off the bat, but did later" then it would just be cagey.
or something.
i'm not really sure what i'm talking about here anymore.
but in any case, if we make any huge decisions like settling down and reopening the other house, we will let you know.
text;
i think were just talking for the sake of talking a bit :p
but if you do open up the other house or whatnot
of course well come by to visit
