≈ first breeze! (text)

wow, oookay.
this place is pretty messed up!
i find it to be a terrible fourteenth birthday present.
even if it's not my birthday anymore.
but, uh, belatedly!
hi, i'm john egbert.
apparently there's a lalonde-me running around, so hi lalonde-me.
it's really freaky to consider a me, that's also a rose, but still me?
how does that even work. is that like doomed timeline shenanigans?
wow does that mean there's a doomed timeline somewhere that combined me and rose?
maybe i messed up on the ectobiology and created some weird rose-me-hybrid.
freaky tentacle-ghosty-movie-wizard baby!
oh man that sounds like an awesome horror movie or something.
we should write our own horror movie.
hi everybody else that's not-me, too!

...What.

So, you're on a boat with Jade and I'm on a meteor with Rose. That was basically the only important part. But why would you have to get sent to us? We can't just pester each other?

Uhhh, it's sort of long and confusing. Jade broke through the fourth wall on a Prospitan ship, and you guys went to the furthest ring for some dumb mission that wound up creating the Green Sun or something? But we can only communicate through dream bubbles. It's super-lame.

Oh. [That was like the hugest mood killer. Dave doesn't like that they can't just talk to John and Jade whenever they want.]

[He quirks his mouth into a sort of :\ expression and shrugs.]

But whatever, I mean. We're here now, and actually together in more of a capacity than before? So it's okay. Or something.

Yeah. It's cool. Well, I mean. It kind of sucks that you're here, but it's also cool because, you know what I'm gonna shut up because this is dumb.

[That was going nowhere.]

[John just raises an eyebrow.]

Actually it's kind of rad that I'm here, I was seriously going insane on that boat. I mean-- not that I particularly like the whole idea of getting tortured, but.

Most people aren't particularly into the whole being tortured by shitty tower caretakers. Join the club.

We should make t-shirts.

I don't think anyone would really want to wear them.

I was trying to make a joke, dude.

Believe it or not. I've had a serious conversation about this with someone else before.

...about t-shirts?

Yeah. You'd be surprised of what you talk about when you're stuck in a cell.

Heheheh. I can imagine. Why were you stuck in a cell?

It's a long story. Don't worry about it. [There goes Dave again. Not wanting to talk about things.] Seriously. The punchline isn't even worth the story. You think it's going to end with 'and then they fucked' but instead it's some anticlimatic story and you're left with the hugest boner kill.

Well I'm not really in the story-telling thing for a boner, to be honest, so I wouldn't mind the boner-kill aspect.

[He's still standing there grinning like he's expecting you to tell him anyway.]

The tower heads wanted to play a game and rounded us up and threw us into different pods. I basically got put with my favorite tower caretaker ever. Which is to say, shit was so boring. There was nothing in the cells and I was almost at the point where banging shit against the wall would be the best form of entertainment. Of course, you can't help but talk to everyone else. Misery loves company.

[He left out the part where they got operated on and other terrible things.]

...Lame. It's probably really dumb of me but I'm kind of excited for this shit to start happening? I mean it's more interesting than being stuck on a boat.

You...really don't want shit to start happening. Take it from basically everyone in this tower.

[Frowns.]

Killjoy.

That's what I'm here for. Ruining your excitement for Torture Tower.

Ruuuude. [He pushes at his shoulder just a little.]

You say that now, but you'll definitely thank me later.

Uh-hmm. That's what you think.
