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.

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
text;
i have noticed i have the tendency to do that when stuff like this happens.
[No, John, you do this ALL the time, not just when people leave...]
yay! :D
if that day comes, we will have to have a party i think.
text;
of course you will!!
i believe hive-warming gifts are a thing that you do right
