004 ♓ video

[ Cue video feed of one slightly pouty, slightly befuddled fishgirl, chin-in-hands, and staring straight into the camera. ]

So, does someone want to tell me that I'm reading the calendar wrong? It doesn't have to be the truth! It would just feel nice to hear it, and maybe just pretend for a second that I didn't just go to sleep and wake up a month later. It's good to be back, at least! Sort of. Better than being nowhere at all, right?

I get the feeling things have changed, though. Does someone want to fill me in? Is Sollux still here?

I haven't been anywhere, but apparently I did leave. The last thing I remember was going to bed. It was May 6th. Then I woke up and it was today and I was getting the whole spiel again!

[caligulas_aquarium]

Wwell there goes that idea.

Maybe the initiativve had nothin' to do wwith it then. Or maybe they did an' they screwwed up or somethin'.

The more time I spend here the less sense this entire operation a' theirs makes, an' it didn't exactly get goin' on a' good start I'll say that much.

[fintastic]

I don't really know, and I don't think it's worth trying to find out unless it happens to someone else. I still have that mark, so maybe it has something to do with it...

[caligulas_aquarium]

Wwhat mark?

[fintastic]

Oh, this mark.

[ There's some shifting of the camera, so that she can show off the circular mark on the inside of her right wrist. ]

It happened after that trip into the future we had, before I ever came here.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Before you evver came here...so...wwhat, in that Neww Mexico place?

Wwhat'd you get it for?

[fintastic]

Yes, there. I don't know exactly why we got them, but I think it was related to whatever brought us back from that timeline and let us try again.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Huh.

Did you try gettin' rid of it?

[fintastic]

How? By cutting off my hand?

[caligulas_aquarium]

It doesn't look like it's a' fuckin' brand or somethin', I jus-

Oh, forget it, keep your stupid mark.
