That was... a trip.

[Phew. One Sollux Captor reporting for duty on the Gear, and he looks absolutely wiped out.] Like, seriously. Did someone shove pot brownies down my throat while I wasn't looking or something? Okay, let me tell you all what happened, because this is weird shit. If anyone's got an answer to how any of the past couple of days even happened, I am seriously interested in hearing it.

I'm pretty sure after we left Cianwood and went back because -- fuck if I know -- someone forgot something, and... well. I just found this off the Internet, but it was the most approximate image for what Cianwood looked like when we got back.

[Trainer 22413 [CAPTOR, SOLLUX] would like to send you a file.]

...Yeah.

Flying numbers and everything.

I think something in there really fucked with Jake, though... he got sent home by the Powers that Be literally right after that, and I got his Zebstrika or whatever it's called. That cannot be a fucking coincidence. I lost both KN and AA getting back out, no idea where they are. And, oh yeah -- I just got transported across an entire fucking Region. This is fucking Lavender Town!

[Sollux looks around, and the next time he speaks, it's very quiet.]

...for fuck's sake, someone get me out of here.

[And he does.]

[...Tries to.]

[As it turns out, when Sollux laughs, he sounds kind of like a cat dying of asphyxiation. It doesn't help that he really doesn't feel like laughing at all.]

[But it's a laugh.]

[ ...Sol...lux... ]

Well, you tried. I will give you a gold star for - wait, nevermind. I almost forgot I'm not allowed to give you any more of those.

[ because of you and your two rule. ]

But I was joking, you know!

Yeah, well, I wasn't.

There's a possibility I might actually have fucked something up.

How? Were you actually tampering with space-time?

[ she takes her eye off you for five minutes -

no okay like aradia wouldn't be on team "let's fuck shit up" if that were a team. she would totally have encouraged tampering with space-time. ]

No, I was tampering with code! But then John accused me of causing the mess with the town, because of what I coded. And then I talked to some other asshole named Ishimaru and he said that he thinks this whole place is based around a... a... a video game. And now there's you and I know you're kidding but I can't shake the feeling that I might actually have fucked something up!

I thought we'd already decided this place is based around a video game?

[ is this new information? ]

But Sollux, the code you were tampering with, what was that about? I mean, I doubt you actually caused this, and if you did I don't think it's the end of the world! Just calm down and think about it. What were you doing?

No, I mean that we are physically within a video game.

That might be what's happening.

I didn't know what I was doing half the time, okay? I was picking at the stuff I knew and seeing what happened. Most of the time? Nothing. And maybe it was just sloppy junk code. But I still want to figure out what's really making this place tick, just to make sure.

Wasn't that implied?

[ She...can't bring herself to mind that. :T It's not like they weren't JUST in a video game... ]

Well...regardless, if you did cause something, isn't that a good thing?

What happened back there was not a good thing.

It was. It'd mean that changes could be effected on this place, wouldn't it? And that's information we didn't or don't have.

But we don't know how to use it.

So we'll figure it out. If anyone can hack the universe and make it work for us, it's you.

But think of what'll happen if I fuck up!

Then I suppose don't try it?

Now you get it.

Well, now that we're agreed...

What?

Well, nothing. It's just a bit silly to argue about, I guess.
