SECOND ♋ VOICE ♋ EARLY 17TH OF APRIL.

Before I get into anything else, if anyone has any healers and/or narcotics handy, I'd appreciate it if they could be delivered to this [ insert .pdf attachment ] address. Thanks.

Now that's out of the way, let's get to the real purpose of this broadcast. I suggest you drop whatever vastly unimportant rubbish it is you're wasting your vastly unimportant time with and pay attention, as this greatly concerns all of you.

Most imPorts operate under the assumption that when you leave here, you go back to your native universe, resulting in the never-ending wave of newbies telling us that, no, really, the world is at stake, person nobody cares about is going to suffer a fate worse than death only I can prevent in approximately point three seconds, I left the stove on, my problems are unique and more important and time sensitive than any of my predecessors have ever been, so please, make history by making me the first imPort to ever be returned to the sorry butt crevice I crawled out of just through asking.

Most people will tell you that nobody decides when you go back. It just happens. It's random. No one can predict it. But you will go back! And, conveniently, it will be at the exact instant you left. With no memory of ever having arrived here. Sometimes you might come back from a different point in time, after a few days or years, with an influx of memory from your time here upon arrival. Sometimes you come back without it. That's random, too.

But nobody can prove that.

I've been over this before, but the gist of it is, your options in "going back", are either to be effectively erased from existence through having your memories of here erased, or sent back to a dead or dying timeline to await your inevitable doom. There is no going back. It's just a lie we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better when one of our friends blips out of existence. Nobody goes back! Nobody is ever going to go back!

[ There's a pause, where he seems to catch his breath, something close to a groan, before he goes on. ]

I was serious about the healers or drugs. Sooner rather than later.

[Dying timeline, that hits a bit close to home.]

Yeah well, I've got to go home, I left the oven on and it's important.

[Squints. Karkat's a very strange looking thing....]

So in theory what you're saying is we all could have gone home fifty seven times already, and we wouldn't remember it. That makes me feel fuzzy, pretty sure I can sleep at night now knowing I can avoid that particular headache.

[Is pretty sure he hasn't seen anything like Karkat before...are those horns? Really?]

That's why I'm unregistered. As if I'm going to just let the government of all things do what they want. Hey, you got any tinfoil hats or do I have to make my own for this?

[Karkat looks amazing. Gabriel must know what this is all about.]

Might not be much of a difference, but at least it's a big gesture of 'screw off' to them.

So. Elephant in the room. Horns?

The fact you've got them would be a good start. Those and sharp teeth. Horns are more obvious though.

[Actually cracks up laughing. What a character! Takes a few moments to calm down.]

I didn't think they were a costume. Tell you what, I'll avoid those ones if you avoid the duck pillow feather jokes in my direction. Tit for tat. Deal?

[...Huh. Kid must have missed the telethon. That's okay, no skin off Gabe's back! He's even going to flap a hand at the camera.]

Never you mind that, kiddo. So if you're not a goat, bridge or club, what ever could you be?

[Thinks about it....and the penny drops.]

Oh yeah, so you did. I'm sorry I was too distracted by those awesome head poles you have going on there. Are you sure you're a troll and not a devil?

[Gives a low whistle.]

I heard the humor go flying right over your head then. So what happened to cause you to do the macarena for medicine?

Oooh, unfortunate. So maybe not quite a macarena, more like a shuffle. Who did that?

[Ugh. Gabe's just going to roll his eyes and look exasperated. Is there anyone on this network he can talk to without his brother being an asspain? Bueller? Bueller?]

What, and you didn't stop and get his autograph? Could have at least gotten some money out of the bad hand Fate dealt you.
