[Hi, network, here's a porkschop mouth and bear hat you haven't seen in a long while. He appears to be smiling, but a pretty strained smile.]

Yo, peeps! I guess I'm back! I guess that's okay! Not like I was busy or anything! It's pretty jumpin' here, lots of adventures and dance parties to be had, even if Peebles isn't here! Or Marcy! Starchy! . . . Jake! I can do this again, YEAH! If the City still needs me to be a hero, I can't really say no, right? That's so not heroy, and that's what I'm allllll about. [A little arm wiggle dance to illustrate that this is, indeed, fact.]

[Pause.] I, uh, didn't beef it down a bunch of stairs again, did I? That'd be so embarrassing. Ahem.

Callin' out for all my City bros, answer me so we can do sweet screen fistbumps and catch up! And a special shout out to Zizi, where are you, gurl! I keep calling you don't answer. Scamper your sweet unreadable teal text on over here.

Jake, huh?

[ same name as friend, totes interested. ]

You seem to like being here, big hero and all.

[rhombus]

Yeah! Why, you know Jake?

[He shrugs at that, all nonchalant smug.]

It's not the same as home and I get really homesick, but it's cool to be around so many humans and I have a ton of friends here I don't have back home, so it's p-cool. It's like a side mission in a game, you know?

[wytchkkrafts]

Uh, I know a Jake.

[ she smiles. wonkwonk. ]

I guess that makes sense... more sense than I really had of this place actually. [ dang. ] Well, I'm Roxy. So why don't you tell me a little more about your Jake.

[rhombus]

Hi, Roxy! [Waves at the camera like the polite teen he is.] I'm Finn.

My Jake's a dog; is your Jake?

[wytchkkrafts]

El-oh-el! No he's not a dog.

[ though he did write what looks like BARKBARKBARKBARKBARK in his journal... ]

He likes adventures too.

[rhombus]

Oh, then you must be talking about the Jake I'm talking to! Unless there is another Jake who's not a dog and also likes adventures. Are you guys bros?

[wytchkkrafts]

Yup! And hell yeah, we're bros. He just got here not too long ago.

[ grinning. ]

Say, you seem to be someone who knows what he's doing. Why don't you help his adventure boner out a little, take him out for some fun.

[rhombus]

He got an adventure bone to pick, huh? [Over his head, oops.] I'm always up for adventures with anyone! Is he just really bored and antsy? I was totally like that until I met Zizi.

[wytchkkrafts]

[ ah. ]

Zizi?

[rhombus]

Her real name was Terezi. She was my girl before I left. And then she left. She was super cool and fly. And pretty.

[wytchkkrafts]

Don't know her. But hey, maybe she'll be back. For now you've got us.

[rhombus]

Yeah, if I cam back then maybe she can, too! Gosh, I hope she remembers me.

But I do have you guys! Even though I don't know who you are!

[wytchkkrafts]

You got our names, that's a start. But Terezi's a troll then right?

[ unreadable teal text or something. ]

[rhombus]

Oooo, how mysterious of youuuuu. [Spooky finger wiggles.]

Yeah! I'm guessin' you know about those scamps, huh?

[wytchkkrafts]

[ she gives a wink, a ~mysterious~ wink. ]

Yup, we're technically from the same place too. Alternative universes, whatever, same shit.

[rhombus]

[He looks a little embarrassed by that, but does an awkward wink back!! Maybe it's some weird form of a handshake.]

Oh, jee, alternative universes are so confusing.

[wytchkkrafts]

[ she grins, what a cute boy. ]

Right? I hope she shows up. [ esp after getting that information out of kanaya. ] Betcha miss her a lot.

[glowsferatu]

I am reasonably certain that Terezi did nothing of the sort for your...inconvenient anatomical monuments.

[rhombus]

...Huh? You talkin' about the green lady whose stairs I fell down or...

[glowsferatu]

What? Not at all. I'm talking about your...preferably concealed hardships.

[rhombus]

You . . . you mean the secret nightlight I have? No one was supposed to know about that!

[glowsferatu]

No! The lower situated edifices which may arise at inopportune occasions.

[rhombus]

The gout in my right big toe??

[glowsferatu]

Your erections!

[rhombus]

[He takes him a second, but he finally gets what she's saying.]

DUDE!! Gross!! Why are you even talking about me like that?!
