[Video] ectoBiologist has begun pestering prospero....... again.

[During the dark hour tonight, a memory is played out on all the communicators for anyone who is paying attention. There's been a lot of that going around recently, of course. But the boy this memory belongs to hasn't been seen in this city since sometime in April. Although he may be recognizable to some of you who have been here a while.]

[The memory starts here. and continues here. ]

[About a minute later, the screen comes back on to show the confused face of John Egbert.]

That was....weird. Anybody else ever get sent back where you came from for like, five minutes?

Well... that or I just had the strangest dream...

J-John?! Is that really you?

Re: [video] Sooooooooooo late. orz Feel free to ignore.

[theheirofbreath]

Hehe, yep. Last time I checked it was still me...

[He chuckles nervously, not sure why she'd be so surprised to see him. He'd only been gone an hour from his perspective. And he still wasn't a hundred percent sure it hadn't been a dream.]

[video] shhhh /squishes face

[needsteaplz]

A lot of us were worried when you disappeared! Time apparently gets strange here too. When I had disappeared and came back for a day or so, I spent twenty years in my home world.

Re: [video]

[theheirofbreath]

Twenty years?!? Seriously? I was only gone for an hour, maybe two tops! And even that feels pretty weird.

It must be surreal to come back after being home that long.

[needsteaplz]

[She shrugs.]

Apparently some of us who've went home for a while and came back had some time-whiplash. No kidding. What just happened there?

Yeah, I was worried I wouldn't be able to see everyone again.

[theheirofbreath]

I didn't really have time to do much more than talk to my sister and throw a bucket at one of my friends.

So did I miss anything?

[needsteaplz]

I'm...not going to ask why you threw a bucket.

Quite a few things. I opened up a tea house, we've been dealing with our memories leaking onto posts in the network like what just happened there, and there's one other thing. Lately now and then everyone's dreams have been intercepted by these people from "the velvet room". They're claiming to be our allies but we haven't been able to contact them ourselves.

[theheirofbreath]

Hehe, that's probably a good idea. It's... kind of a long story.

The 'Velvet Room?' Oookay, that just sounds like the title to a bad porno from the seventies...

[needsteaplz]

[She sputters at first but laughs.]

J-John how would you even... okay you're the first one to point that out.

[theheirofbreath]

Hahaha!

Sorry. But c'mon! Doesn't it?

[needsteaplz]

[She's still laughing.]

Y-yeah, that's true. Wonder where they got that idea to name it that.
