It Is My Regrettable Duty To Inform You That The Count Of Those Present On This Plane No Longer Includes The Following
Jake English
Feferi Peixes
Roxy Lalonde
Rose Lalonde
And Karkat Vantas

There Are Others Missing Also But I Havent Identified Them
Just That The Number Of Familiar Threads Are Fewer In Number
It Seems As Though Some Sort Of Mass Exodus Was Accomplished While We Slept Last Night
And We Are The Ones Left Behind In Its Aftermath

I Wonder If We Havent Offended Her In Some Way

I Could Be Completely Wrong Of Course
Maybe None Of Those Things Will Happen
But How Can We Truly Be Sure Without Risking Catastrophe

[dupable]

yeah we should probably not risk it this one time, because i am pretty sure people would be pissed if we got them stranded here forever.

[glowsferatu]

Which Isnt Even To Mention The Timelines We May Doom In the Process

[dupable]

wait... the doomed timeline stuff still applies even out of the game??

[glowsferatu]

Well The Ultimate Integrity Of It Would Depend On Our Eventual Return Wouldnt It
There Will Have To Be Some Compensation If We Never Did
Paradox Space Would Probably Find A Way Around It
We Cant Be That Vital To Its Final State

[dupable]

i guess that's true...
but in a place like this one where you can come back to life and all that it doesn't seem like doomed timelines would even be something that should happen.

[glowsferatu]

While They Are Isolated They Dont
While Our Eventual Return Is Assured
Compromise Either Assurance And The Rules Must Change To Match

But We Are Expending Too Much Time Discussing A Possibility That We Shouldnt Consider Pursuing Anyway
There Are More Immediate Matters At Hand
Like The Fact That You Now Reside With Only Three Striders As Hivemates
How Is That Working Out

[dupable]

ugh...
i don't think i actually want to think about that too much.
one strider is enough to deal with most of the time!

[glowsferatu]

I Still Think Some Of That Isnt From Their Own End Alone
But I Should Hope Youre At Least Getting On With Dirk
Hes A Perfectly Reasonable Individual

[dupable]

yeah, i guess he isn't so bad!
i mean, we don't actually hang out a lot or anything though.

[glowsferatu]

Well Maybe You Should If Youre Having So Much Trouble With The Other Two

[dupable]

you think so?

[glowsferatu]

We Agreed Hes Not So Bad
Hes Actually A Rather Decent Person For The Most Part
So If Youre Going To Be Living With The Three You Should Develop A Good Rapport With At Least One Of Them

[dupable]

i get along with dave just fine!
he is just...
well he's dave!
sometimes you kind of want to punch him in the face, but in a way where you are still really good friends at the end of the day.
but i guess i should probably get to know dirk better anyway since he is dave's bro and all.

[glowsferatu]

Daves Great
Im Fond Of Dave
But Sometimes You Need Someone Who Isnt Dave
And Dirk Has A Very Different Disposition To Him So He Could Be Just That Person

[dupable]

yeah exactly!
but oh man...
you don't think it'd be weird, do you?
hanging out with dirk.

[glowsferatu]

Why Should It Be
Havent You Hung Out With Roxy And Jake Already
If Jake Is Jades Grandfather Wouldnt That Have Made Him Your Own Forebear As Well

[dupable]

yeah, but i guess it is kind of different with them because they are both really friendly and chatty.

[glowsferatu]

So Maybe He Just Takes A Little More Effort
I Think It Would Be Weirder To Share A Hive With Someone You Dont Really Know That Well

[dupable]

yeah...
i am gonna be honest here, that has been pretty weird too.

[glowsferatu]

I Can Understand That
Honestly When We First Moved To Our Current Location I Hadnt Known The Weasleys In The Least
I Suppose Aradia Maybe Had But Once She Was Gone And Returned In A New Iteration That Was No Longer The Case

There Was Only One Option After That
Youll Just Have To Get To Know Them Better

[dupable]

i guess you are right about that.
i just wonder if there is anyone around here who could maybe tell me a little bit more about him so i could actually... you know relate to him!
everything i know about him is what i know about dave's big brother and i have to be honest with you, dirk seems a lot cooler than the way dave described his bro.

[glowsferatu]

You Know If I Had To Guess
I Would Tell You That The Person Best Equipped To Inform You About Dirk
Would Be The Boy Himself

[dupable]

yeah, but isn't that kind of weird to ask at this point?

[glowsferatu]

Just Outright Asking Him Sure
But There Are Better Ways To Approach It
How Would You Get To Know Anyone Else
Do You Consult With Their Close Acquaintances To Advise Your Approach There As Well Before Making First Contact
Because Thats Actually Kind Of Weird
Though I Can Sympathize With The Impulse A Little
