this thing is pretty useful and ursula was very helpful. took a little bit to get it to work. but it's working now at least!
this is public right? has anyone here seen my friends? i'm looking for two bros named dave and dirk and my other friends, rose, jade, roxy, nann... i mean jane and jake. also let me know if anyone has seen any trolls around! hard to miss them, especially karkat.
while i'm at it, i got what i think is the basics about this place. didn't really know what else to ask since i just got here. starting with that i guess. so this place is called iniidae. it isn't really what i expected when i opened the door to get here...
oh yeah! my name is john.

action;

[Nothing like the very real, if brief fear of drowning upon his arrival to this place to give him something of an appetite. Upon locating the kitchen, John's face lights up with delight and he immediately begins to search the area for some non-dessert like food.

Seeing the fridge, John yanks it open and looks over the food. Wow. That's a lot of fish. With a shrug, he takes the most tuna looking container and walks over to the counter.]

Is there bread anywhere?

[Dammit. Where the hell is the bread? John begins to rifle through the cupboards trying to figure out where it is, and where everything else is.]

video;

[The feed clicks on and a young man sits in the dining area with a smile on his face. He attempts to angle it on his wrist in a way that allows a proper view of his silhouette. John mouths the word 'ow' several times as his arm cramps up and he pulls it back so it's awkwardly facing the corner of his face.]

OK. So now that I've dealt with the food crisis. I've apparently been here before. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of where I stayed and if I left anything behind? Or any instructions? Written in pen... I hope.

aw i came first in your list
super touched
you cant see it but i curled my hands in a heart just for you
ok thats a lie i didnt do that
where are you
are you on the base
im not there rn but i can be immediately
or wherever else
why the fuck did you need the refresher course?

[fullofgusto]

i was just about to ask why you would do that. then i remembered that it's kind of appropriate today for that. you go ahead and make those hearts.

i'm drying off right now. so i guess i'm at the front door to the ocean? and why wouldn't i need one?

[parodeity]

[ all right. he skimmed that. give him a second. haha fuck fuck fuck. ]

yeah its vday here
are you like particularly attached to hanging out at the base or do you mind if i drag you elsewhere
do you have plans already egbert
got a hot date with a fish
if not we should probs chat or something
my plans have otherwise been like "sleep" or "consider eating a thing" so
youre lucky im willing to put them aside for you

just to clarify
last memory before waterplanet would be opening the door like you implied very heavily
no other memories of this place whatsoever
yeah

also dont wander off like the whimsical fucking asshole you are
stay right there or i stg ill sic rose on you

[allsetfree]

[ Haha. Fear of drowning. Ha........

Alex happens to have made her way to the kitchen as well after figuring out what she could from URSULA. She's just sitting on the counter nearby, eating... is that a lunchable.......?? She shrugs. ]

I didn't see any when I looked, but I dunno my way around this place. I wasn't looking long.

[fullofgusto]

[It's a very real fear. Eying the stranger, John looks her up and down until his attention falls on her... What is that?]

What is that?

[allsetfree]

A lunchable...? I guess? [ look she was surprised to find it, too.

she gestures towards a fridge. ] Found it in there.

[ actually on second thought, half-way through eating these, she starts looking for an expiration date... It tastes fine but? ]

[voidkatini]

[ IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS... ]

[fullofgusto]

[voidkatini]

[fullofgusto]

alright. nice to meet ya doc. and i will do that! where is your office?

[lamortespoir]

I do not think so.

I am usually at the medbay in the underwater base, but if you are elsewhere I can come.

[despairing_hope]

Oh! Almost all of those people are here, and a few more.

[Wait, did his ban on talking to these people include new arrivals...? Oh what did it matter?]

Whatever you think happened that brought you here is probably a lie. Well, some of it might be true, but this probably wasn't what was suppose to be on the other side of your door. But I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's only a small detail.

[fullofgusto]

a few more? who?

shouldn't i worry about that a lot? that sounds like its really important and dangerous.

[despairing_hope]

Kanaya san? There were others, but, I'm not sure if they're still around or not. I don't really talk to them.

I don't know about dangerous, it probably is important. But I can tell you if you want to know. Basically everyone drowns when arriving, and you just don't remember it. Instead you either connect one place to the other in a straight line, or have some other made up memory to fill the gap.

[alienates]

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M CHOOSING TO TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT AND NOT AS SOME REMARK ABOUT BEING LOUD.
EVEN THOUGH I AM PRETTY SURE THE OTHERS HAVE QUALITIES THAT WOULD STAND OUT MORE THAN THAT.
WOW, MY VOICE IS HIGH IN VOLUME!
AT LEAST I DON'T WALK UP TO PEOPLE AND FUCKING LICK THEM, EGBERT.
I THINK PEOPLE WOULD NOTICE THAT MORE THAN MY IMPRESSIVE VOCAL CORDS.

[fullofgusto]

ok. i'm pretty sure you're ragging on terezi but i gotta know if she actually does that cause i never saw that when i met her.

good to hear you again, karkat. heh.

video; the next day

[splinten]

Welcome to round two of fish bullshit. Has someone handed over the metaphorical memo yet? Also, hey.

[He assumes so but he likes to cover their bases (ha).]

[fullofgusto]

[He looks like he just woke up, and one half of his hair is pressed flatly. John fusses with it a bit before responding.]

Yeah, I think I got most of the important stuff thanks to URSULA and Dave. Hey, Dirk. How're you doing?

[grimdeity]

Welcome back, John.
Or, welcome in general since you don't recall your previous visit.

[fullofgusto]

hey rose! how've you been since we last saw each other? which i guess was hours for me and a long time for you. feels kind of shitty, not remembering that.

[aspearing]

Was anyone able to answer your questions?

[fullofgusto]

yeah. most of them. who are you?

[quadjumps]

wow you're popular huh

[fullofgusto]

what makes you say that?
