This is really quite seamless, isn't it?
These handheld ta8lets, I mean. They're very streamline and quite convenient! I can see why they would have such a large appeal, even in a place as desolate as this.
Since everything appears to 8e in working order, I suppose I should introduce myself.
My name is Aranea. While I am new to your world, I have take ample time to prepare myself 8efore em8arking further into such an initially confusing environment.
I admit that even I was a little overwhelmed 8y the sudden change in surroundings, and while the aesthetics aren't particularly something I think anyone would wish to 8ecome accustom to, there is a certain charm, perhaps? In the sense that 8eauty can come from the maca8re, or something of the sort. The situation we've found ourselves in is not too far from others I have watched, truth 8e told. 8uilding a civlization out of ruin is no easy task, and while I wouldn't necessarily call this the pinnacle of industry, o8vious improvements have 8een made. It feels to 8e a very functional environment.
Actually, this might 8e the perfect time to have made my appearance! Only 8eing a8le to witness such events and not take part in them was a little frustrating. I am not discounting the value of o8servation, of course, only my own wish to 8e an active mem8er in the historic process.
It is an unfortunate 8eginning, to 8e sure, 8ut the resilience to continue despite hardships feels to me to 8e a very human characteristic. I must express my admiration for this species that I only can profess to knowing in passing. I hope this will not only 8e an opportunity to take part in something truly fascinating and consequential, 8ut also to learn more a8out other 8eings.
Not having the pretext of imminent and eternal annihilation is certainly a perk.
8ut I digress!
Though it may seem a 8it off considering the circumstances, I look forward to taking on this struggle together!
Although, 8efore I forget, I have heard rumors of some local feasting and festivities to 8e taking place this time of your solar sweep. If you don't mind satiating my curiosity as I am nota8ly unaware of the significance, what exactly is happening? What is 8eing cele8rated?

so youvve been spyin on me
fanfuckintastic
look that dont explain jackshit about wwho you are or wwhy you got that quirk or nothin
so wwhy not start talkin sense

[spacevixen]

Actually it all makes quite a large amount of sense, 8ut I will divulge some of the finer details of our com8ined situations.
If you haven't made the leap of logic yet, I am from the same session and universe that Meenah is from, and I am going to assume that you're acquainted with her, since she seems to have made an impression on everyone. We also played a game of SGRU8 long 8efore your universe existed. However, our session was long, arduous, and fruitless in the end. I came up with a plan to initiate the Scratch, which in turn eliminated our universe from existence.
8efore we could be wiped out and reset forever, Meenah set off a 8om8 and killed us so that we may reside in the dream 8u88les instead. From there, we were given front row seats in watching the development of Alternia and trolls as a species. Consequently, over the 8illions and 8illions of sweeps I have spent in the afterlife, I was a8le to watch you, along with your compatriots, grow up.
My name is Aranea Serket. My alternate self in your universe was the Marquise.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Well shit, that's one hell of a story.

There's only one thing he takes from that though.]

so you knoww meen
is she alwways such a difficult bitch or
im gonna say yes

[spacevixen]

She has a stu88orn streak that is difficult to shake.

[ She's inherently a little unsure about this, simply because she doesn't enjoy talking to Cronus in the first place. Sorry, Eridan. ]

[caligulas_aquarium]

yeah thats sure one wway a puttin it alright
anywway if youre some alternate marquise wwho aint her an mentioned some sorta ampora counterpart earlier
are you sayin you knoww dualscar

[spacevixen]

In the extent that you are implying, yes, I know him.
I'm not sure you really want to hear a8out him, however.

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwhy not

[spacevixen]

He is likely not to 8e what you have envisioned.

[caligulas_aquarium]

ok wwell
you said you been wwatchin alternia for a wwhile right
so howw far off are your dualscar an alternias dualscar
i mean alternian brand dualscar wwas pretty kickass
pretty much one a the greatest trolls a his caste to havve evver livved
so howws this other him compare

[spacevixen]

[ Oh boy. ]

........
Well, my theory is that our alternate selves that developed in your universe are somewhat of idealized versions that we had potential to 8e, 8ut did not 8ecome due to the constraints and perhaps character flaws in our own time.
Morever, I'm afraid that I have my own 8iases in regards to his portrayal in your history. I do 8elieve that Mindfang's journal is, in this case, a more relia8le source of character traits. 8ut I digress.
The Ampora that I know was under the impression that, at one point, he was destined to 8ecome a great wizard and defeat an evil magician that the angels spoke of. In his personal mythos, the evil magician had faced him once when he was young and attempted to destroy him and protect his own future existence. The spell, however, was deflected and left him with his characteristic scars.
I'm not sure how ore why, 8ut he suffered a crisis of faith at one point and dis8aned the aforementioned ideas completely. At this point in time he 8elieves himself to 8e a talented musician as well as having 8een hatched in the wrong form.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Wow, he is very conflicted about all of this.

The musician part though oh god, Meenah mentioned this, so maybe it is true after all. That's just sad.

That last part though...]

hatched into the wwrong
form
wwhat

wwhat does that evven mean

[spacevixen]

It is the most recent o8servation 8efore my arrival here, 8ut from what I have heard through the prover8ial grapevine is that he 8elieves himself to 8e a human, only accidentally, 8y some cruel twist of fate, was hatched as a troll.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[There's about a ten minute delay here.

The entire time, Eridan just sits staring at that response...like...WHAT...

[tyrians]

But maybe he can turn it around.

Maybe...]

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwell he sure fuckin sounds like it an all
thanks for the heads up there meen

[Of course he's not actually grateful why the fuck would he be, but how's it feel knowing you seem to have done Eridan a favor Meenah.]

[tyrians]

...
yea ok
whatevs
