==> ponytailArtist: Recap.



It’s pretty much 4 in the morning (again) as you post this and you still have this space chocolate pudding to drill the fuck out of, but sure, let’s do it.

This is the entire FIRST ACT OF TERRASTUCK/LOTUSTRAPPED. Spoilered for hugeness.

Terra Chapter 1

The adventure began with a flashback of Earth’s recreation through the Scratch. Vriska, John, Dave, Terezi, Aradia, Rose, Kanaya, Jade and Karkat were all alive and accounted for, and residing on Earth with various possessions gained from their time in SBURB/SGRUB. All of the trolls were currently staying with one of their human friends: Vriska with John, Karkat with Jade, Kanaya with Rose, and both Aradia and Terezi with Dave.

The day began as any other for Vriska, save for the presence of Jade in her house. After some quick sloppy knockouts caused by unfounded jealousy (as well as the unnoticed destruction of her room), she left to go bother John at school, and encountered Dave, who had earlier informed Terezi about a project that Aradia was working on with Kanaya. Also, Bro and Kamina had been duelling for a few weeks at this point.

Voma 4.0- a robot lady constructed by Aradia and programmed by Kanaya- was activated within Rose’s household. After momentarily avoiding her masters (and making out with them), it was revealed that her intended purpose was as a Soulbot, a vessel to be inhabited by one of their lost troll companions. Instead, she had developed a soul of her own, and therefore life. She could also channel the ghosts of any of the dead trolls and receive some of their traits and abilities, as well as converse with them.

Jade woke up at around this time and found Terezi heading over to Rose’s place to investigate the robot that Dave had told her about. After witnessing more sloppy makeouts, Jade began to panic over her confused sexual preferences and retreated back home, after which Voma began to follow after being granted permission by Aradia. This is where we caught our first glimpse of the “Organization.”

Vriska and Dave had begun spying on John and Rose at school, and later found some gamblers in an alleyway. Vriska challenged them to her own game and presumably scored a ton of cash because she has all the luck.

Jade locked herself in her room and proceeded to cry. :( Karkat tried to give her some friendly advice, yet was promptly ignored. He then met Voma at the front door, who had channelled Gamzee’s ghost and scared Karkat right the fuck out of her way. Remembering nothing of that moment, Voma then tried her own hand at helping Jade come to grips with her problems, and apparently succeeded. Karkat then began following her back home like Solid Fucking Snake, with the box and everything.

John and Rose escaped from their insanely boring classroom being taught by Mrs Lalonde. John decided to look for Jade at her house while Rose headed back to her own. Unbeknownst to her, another member of the Organization, Demyx, along with the ghost of Gamzee, were watching nearby with the intention of stealing her Thorns of Oglogoth.

Lotus Chapter 1

We are introduced to the Lotus, and Cosmo, whom is currently moving to a new home in a foreign petal. After meeting Rottytops and Jill in a nearby forest, as well as an unknown partner to Jill known only as “J”, Cosmo enters town and meets her sole online friend Klonoa in a restaurant, who proceeds to explain a bit about the people Cosmo met today.

On her way home we see the presence of a third Organization member, Vexen, who waves off a certain sweaty troll’s attempts to convince him to cease and desist. Meanwhile, Ruto and Feferi, the best of moirails, have been spending time together in the ocean, right up until Feferi has to leave in order to confront an Organization member, and most likely won’t be meeting again. This leaves both girls rather depressed.

Rottytops meets Cosmo at her house and brings her to the Genie Pub. There, Cosmo discovers and is enticed by Shantae’s exotic dancing, falling in love instantly. Vexen is nearby and seems to captchalogue the Skaia symbol into a unique Captchalogue card, presumably caused by Cosmo’s romantic feelings. Feferi arrives seconds too late to stop Vexen, who retreats rather than engages the troll.

Cosmo is offered a job by Shantae and decides to become a dancer. She leaves the club happier than ever, but Rottytops isn’t so lucky, having encountered a fourth Organization member: Larxene. After being scarred horribly, she is sent off with the instruction to lead Cosmo to a seemingly deadly mountain range tomorrow morning, or face death. Rottytops later meets Cosmo at her house again, this time to spend the night with her, and is careful to let on nothing about the current situation.

Back on Earth, Vriska wakes up alone to see a glowy hand thing in the sky.

Terra Chapter 2

Jade has successfully gotten over her problems and accepted the fact that she might be into girls. Meanwhile, Voma and Karkat have been surrounded by a shit ton of imps, which are promptly lazar’d by Voma after channelling Sollux. Voma and Karkat agree that they need to find their friends immediately, and proceed to do so.

Dave had encountered imps too, yet effortlessly kicked their asses. He claims that he had left Vriska behind thinking that she was following him the entire time. He also recalls seeing Demyx earlier yet failed to chase after him.

Rose confronts Demyx while Terezi speaks with one more black coat; Luxord. He elaborates that the Organization is targeting the SBURB players, and that the trolls are to be left alive for the time being. He goes on to say that two different universes have become unstable for reasons related to the Scratch caused in both of them.

John was slain by yet another Organization member whose name was never mentioned. In an off-screen tussle, John successfully killed the attacker before succumbing to his injury; Something which is not normally possible for a God Tier individual.

Bro and Kamina have also confronted imps, and in a badass transition, it is revealed that Kamina had died in front of Shantae and Cosmo at some point in the past.

Lotus Chapter 2

Cosmo awakens from a dream showing her Kamina’s death, which has haunted her for the past two years. After leaving a sleeping Rottytops a new sweater to wear, she travels to the library as per Shantae’s instruction. Once there, she meets a short girl named Tiff, who promises a new dancer outfit by tonight and proceeds to take measurements.

Ruto, apparently a former princess, seeks out a method to distract her from her depression, and spots Klonoa walking along the beach, whom she begins bothering with unwanted swimming lessons. ::)

Cosmo meets Rottytops after her short stop at the library. As they agreed the other night, they travel to the mountains, where they are confronted by none other than a dragon. After everyone made some badass ponytailArtist fanart somehow awakening her Maid of Heart powers, the dragon becomes tame and is named Toothless. Cosmo then passes out.

Detective Carrie meets up with her annoying partner, one of many time-clone Daves within the Lotus. Together they travel to the latest crime scene caused by the “subjugglator”, where a shit ton of blue blood was spilled. However, no corpse was found. The blue blooded individual was apparently Equius, who had retreated into Voma’s body in ghost form to recover his injuries.

It is at this point that the Afterlife Double Reach Around is explained. Better take a look at that, folks.

Tiff speaks with Sable over the phone, ordering some materials that she expects the hedgehog to deliver personally. She proceeds to do so, yet is confronted by a killer Gamzee in an alleyway. Luckily she is saved by a badass Eridan, whom she begins to swoon over. Gamzee is called away by an unknown comrade, and Eridan makes his exit shortly afterward.

Cosmo awakens in a field of red grass with Toothless and Rottytops. Toothless apparently enjoys this red grass, so Cosmo demonstrates a common Seedrian ability to absorb plant matter and swap color schemes, which Toothless seems to approve immensely of. Cosmo then decides to head back to town, looking for a dragon caretaking manual, as well as attending Shantae’s private dance class. Apparently she’s already a pro at this, much to her own surprise. She had also met Dave during this time, who developed a secret crush on her due to her current hair color, which was returned to normal later.

The Organization has called a meeting, consisting of Zexion, Larxene, Lexaeus, and Gamzee. Axel failed to arrive; The cause is later revealed to be his presence on Earth with Mr Egbert rather than the Lotus. Zexion spends the meeting pointing out Vexen and Marluxia’s failures as leaders and nominates himself to take over the operation. He also forces Gamzee to restrict his murderous tendencies, which, needless to say, won’t end well.

Rottytops happens upon Ruto nearly drowning Klonoa, and uses Toothless to keep Ruto paralysed in fear while she saves the cabbit boy. Klonoa develops a quick friendship with Toothless, while Rottytops accidentally reminds Ruto of her broken moiraillegance and tries to comfort her. Feferi is in a similar situation with Nepeta, who offers to take half her patrol shift so that Fef can spend more time with Ruto. Fef reluctantly agrees and meets up with Ruto once more, who immediately run off to enjoy themselves once more.

Carrie returns to the crime scene from a trip to the hospital after failing to find any blue blooded victims. Dave successfully convinces her to let him off work for the rest of the day and sets off to look for Cosmo at her workplace, yet barely misses her. He is later swarmed by other Daves who heard about the red haired Seedrian.

Cosmo visits the library once more and is informed by Tiff (joined by her friend Sable) that her outfit will be ready after dinner time. She is also informed of some dragon-related commotion down at the beach, and immediately rushes off to meet her awfully silly friends. After some shenanigans, Toothless is sent home, leaving Cosmo, Rottytops and Klonoa to enjoy dinner. Klonoa leaves to spend time with Toothless, while Cosmo and Rottytops pay another visit to the library to retrieve the new outfit. Which is just plain beautiful.

Cosmo, Rottytops, Tiff and Sable all travel to the Genie Pub, where Cosmo is immediately admired by the only Dave that has met her. Every other Dave has fallen for Rottytops instead. Cosmo is greeted by Shantae backstage and reassured that she’ll do just fine, but moments before the curtain is raised, she begins to panic. Feferi and Ruto are also hiding backstage, and Ruto gives Cosmo a boost in confidence using her Witch of Hope powers.

Cosmo successfully performed in front of a live audience, and was greeted by Shantae once more; This time with excessive sloppy makeouts that left even a sneaky Dave blushing harder than ever. Rottytops leads Cosmo back home, and Sable leaves early as well, sensing something awful has happened to her sister.

Meanwhile, Eridan confronts Vexen and challenges him to take his attack head-on, and also mentions in passing that something severe has happened to Nepeta by the Organization’s hands, which only concerns him since it’s guaranteed to make Feferi cry once more.

Feferi herself had returned to the troll’s secret base, where she was harshly scolded and threatened by Equius for reasons unknown. Tavros informed Equius that Feferi was unaware of Nepeta’s fate, and so Equius began leading them both somewhere.

Then the epic flash update of doom happened. The glowy hand thing has appeared in the Lotus’ sky, larger than it had been on Earth. Feferi lays eyes upon Nepeta’s horrific injuries, as well as Cosmo upon Rotty’s. Gamzee has burned down Sable’s clothing store and killed her little sister Mable right in front of her. He then approaches Sable with weapons in hand, but is quickly disarmed by the timely arrival of Jill and Carrie. Before they can finish him, they are distracted by Eridan’s gigantic attack against Vexen, giving Gamzee a chance to ghost-abscond. Vexen’s weapon fails to repel the blast, shattering and letting the beam through. In his last moments, we see what the true form of an Organization member really is.

All the while, Vriska speaks to a dead John. By the end of her rambling, she seizes the Warhammer of Zillyhoo for herself. The glowy hand thing near Earth has also grown larger, about the same as the one at the Lotus.

Terra Chapter 3A

Kamina, Bro, Earth!Dave, Aradia and Kanaya are all sleeping in a campground while Karkat and Voma keep watch for imps or Organization members. Terezi takes over, leaving Karkat to go to sleep as well. Voma, currently channelling only Sollux, decides to try napping as well.

Jade is now at her house, currently looking after Rose, who was unconscious in a street earlier, and Vriska, who cried herself to sleep after being scolded for earlier sloppy knockouts. On Vriska’s person was the weapon of John’s killer, which is compatible with Jade’s strife deck and was therefore an intended gift. Jade apologizes in advance, and then takes up night watch duty. Lots of coffee was consumed that night.

Vriska awakens in her dream bubble, wherein she participates in FLARP to feed some suckers to her spidermom. The suckers in question, however, were Rose and Dave, who proceed to slice her lusus straight down the middle. Vriska’s anger toward the situation is quickly revealed to be misplaced, and Rose alone helps her understand why. John makes his appearance and reveals that he is, in fact, dead for real, despite his God Tier status. Vriska barely has time to grieve before being left alone with none other than Cosmo, who explains that John had earlier helped her remember her own game session, and also points out the existence of the Organization as well as the glowy hand thing in both of their worlds. The situation quickly degenerates into an argument, which Kamina interrupts. Heart warming hug scene ensues.

Voma enters the dream world as Sollux, wherein the events of the first day on the Lotus are shown in more detail. Sollux had created a program that allows the trolls to access Voma when they turn into ghosts. Before using it, he/she tries to comfort Feferi, whom is already sad that she’ll have to leave Ruto. Nepeta was also showing strange symptoms in her eye and arm. At one point the troll’s base was assaulted by Lexaeus, which Equius and Tavros successfully defended with the help of Toothless. However, Tavros is quickly scolded for revealing their secret weapon, which is quickly disregarded since moving to a new base is more important. Sollux saves the program to a card, which is quickly stolen by Larxene. This causes him/her enough frustration to launch an OPTIIC BLA2T out of the ceiling.

During all of that, Dave leaves Vriska’s dream early to hang out with Aradia and Lotus!Dave, who later check out a space colony orbiting the Lotus inhabited entirely by robot!Aradia time clones, many of which are reprogrammed with different personalities and perform sloppy makeouts with eachother for profit. Some do it for a bit more. >:D This same colony also seems to absorb Sollux’s blasts regularly, distributing the energy among all the robot!Aradia clones. Karkat is also dropped into this dream bubble after a chat with John.

Rose left Vriska's dream just as John had appeared, and appeared to Kanaya to discuss the nature of Voma, whose design was apparently based on a certain something found near a frog temple, on a quest bed. Apparently neither the temple nor the bed originate from the kids' or the trolls' game sessions, either. Sloppy makeouts ensued once more, watched by a wide eyed Zexion.

Sable is reunited with her dead sister and recalls a third sibling they met during a trip downtown, whom she hates to the point of nearly assaulting her on sight. Whatever the matter is, it seems to involve their departed mother. Labelle makes her appearance, apologizing desperately for the matter, which she apparently wasn’t aware of until the incident.

Klonoa appears to Equius and Tavros to snap them out of their memory-following state, and then tells Voma to hurry along with the dream sequence since something is gonna happen soon. Voma skips ahead to when the trolls have moved to their new base, where Feferi gets angry at Sollux for failing to understand her problems. Nepeta becomes aware of this and recalls the recent events outside of her dream, causing her injuries to reappear. Equius, Tavros and Feferi are watching this and desperately try to refrain from acting on the matter, as they need Voma to do something to Nepeta first. Sure enough, when Voma goes in for comfort makeouts, she awakens on Earth once more, with Nepeta next to her. Heart warming hug scene again~

John reveals a plan involving Davesprite, Jadesprite, and Yamchasprite, but for the moment indulges in the memory of his first date with Vriska, who willingly goes along with it. Cosmo, Rottytops and Kamina keep watch over the two, while Kamina explains his presence on Earth and the purpose of the Gurren Brigade.

It is so insanely simple that you feel you need to bash the next person who makes you stay up this late writing things down again. You’ve got a lot of sleep to catch up on, dammit.

You were also hoping to start the new thread with a link to a new roleplay thread but you haven’t had time to start one yet. Bluh.

So do we post commands continuing from the old thread?

Do you still have control of your life?

...What the hell just happened to me?

Arms happened. That's what.

Or the ghost of a dead Vriska went blub blub huge psychic tsundere and possessed you. The thought of a psychic tsudere capable of taking control of your weak willed body scares me, but then again... I've lost my train of thought.

And now that I've recorded that I've observed Betelgeuse and Rigel for my current astronomy project, I'm going to bed as well. (You can only catch Orion the Hunter at about 0500 in the Greater Houston Area, and I'm lucky enough to live far enough away from the metroplex to get a clear enough sky to see my favorite constellation before the sun drowns out all the other stars with its life giving radiation.)

AG: The water’s frozen too?
AG: Good thing we couldn’t 8ring our sea dwellers.
AG: 8ut to 8e fair, one of them was a prick and didn’t swim around all that much anyway.
EB: sea dwellers?
EB: you mean like mermaids?
AG: Sure John, let’s compare things that neither of us has heard of 8efore.
AG: Sea dwellers are pretty much trolls with face fins who can 8reathe underwater.
AG: That’s really all there is to say on the matter.
EB: okay, uh…
EB: mermaids are humans whose legs are a fish tail
EB: who can only survive in the water
EB: and they kinda don’t exist
AG: Well fuck, I’m not surprised.
AG: If they had to deal with getting frozen every year then no wonder they’re extinct.
EB: oh no no, they never existed in the first place!
EB: they’re a fairy tale thing
AG: Oh.
EB: but you know, maybe you’re right?
EB: maybe they did exist and went extinct?
EB: maybe the same thing happened to dragons and dwarves and elves and plant people and gods and michael jackson and-
AG: Woah John!
AG: Slow down there, I can only have my mind 8lown so hard 8efore I pass out. ::::o
AG: Wait, you guys had dragons too?
EB: kinda
EB: same case as the mermaids really
EB: well, I guess my point is that if aliens with psychic powers and cool googly eyes like you exist, along with world destroying video games, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of our ancient fiction turned out to be pretty real
EB: maybe there’s a bunch of mermaids from another world playing SBURB right now?
EB: or dragons or elves or-
AG: Oi.
EB: sorry ^^;
AG: ……..
AG: You think my googly eye is cool?
EB: what, shouldn’t I?
AG: Heh.
AG: “Funny looking” is pro8a8ly the closest thing to a compliment I ever got a8out it.

>update once per day for the past few weeks

>someone quits reading because apparently you're going TOO FAST

I'm getting weird signals here, guys. Should I not be updating daily or what? o_o

[teleportal9]

OH HELL NO. You keep doing what you're doing man, it's awesome. I believe someone is just a wee bit not obsessed with Homestuck and all it's affiliates enough. : p

==> Blatant flirtation: Continue.

Also why are they in Chicago? Not that I'm complaining, I love me some Windy City.

[FIDUSPAWN]

>Fall in love: Make it happen.

[keroseneKeeper]

KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BRO. I love the frequent updates. I was obsessed enough to read everything that existed ever and not stop until I caught up. It just takes dedication! Perseverance! Caffeine!

Also, brb, I'm dying of the CUTENESS. Oh gog, Vriska blushing. It is so beautiful. I was copying and pasting quotes from this to share with my friend, so that he can enjoy the brilliance even though he hasn't read the first board yet.

Sloppy makeouts: Be a thing that happens. Break in the new board.

[LightMage]

I Don't feel like starting any quote seconding pyramids, so Just what the two above me have said.
>Continue with the Romancizing.
Maybe a random monster attack for even more bonding... And some cool fighting combo teamwork?

[naturallyGreen]

yeah I agree with the last 3 posts just do what your doing update wise. your updating is the bomb!

"d8 continue to be gr8"

[VexTheWarlord]

>update once per day for the past few weeks
>feel like you should be going faster
>someone quits reading because apparently you're going TOO FAST

I'm getting weird signals here, guys. Should I not be updating daily or what? o_o

How about we go to hourly and move on from there?

But seriously your update speed is fine. I'd personally like it if it were faster though.

I didn't notice anyone quit reading over your breakneck pace but if they did they're not worth your time.

Anyway...


>John: Make it more obvious.

[ArmsAreLoud]

CONTINUE UPDATING DAILY DAG NABBIT

Also John hurg you are making it really hard to get over you being dead.

[VexTheWarlord]

CONTINUE UPDATING DAILY DAG NABBIT

Also John hurg you are making it really hard to get over you being dead.

Actually I seem to have successfully bitched about that enough that PA seems to have changed his plans.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Wait what

Are we going to get some lame cop out then

Darn it that is my thing you are not allowed to be as bad of a writer as I am Ponytail

[FIDUSPAWN]

Yes since we were lucky enough to learn that John survive after all.
