yeeeessss i was wondering when these two would talk!

[kringlefuck]

<sub>[ It's been a rough one for Jake still. As boisterous as he is about adventure and all of that, seeing so many people in pain is devastating. And like Jake normally does, he reflects the situation back on himself. What if he ends up like these guys? He's had a bunch of close calls since he's gotten here, and that just makes him more unsettled.

Jake has just returned from his outpost when he receives this message. Truth be told, he actually had no idea Roxy was here. And, considering the fact he's never seen her in person before, he feels a bunch of mixed emotions.

It's hard to find words to say. ]</sub>

Miss lalonde? Im uncertain of what it is youre doing here!

_{[ he had to backspace and retype that like 5 times.
After all, part of CDC's arrangement was the fact that both Dirk and Roxy would be safe if he agreed to join them. So, finding both Dirk and Roxy now here makes his stomach twist. ]}

>i got recruited buddy same as u

>some troll dbag asked me if i wanted 2 avoid the spiderbitch

>the one tryna fuck w ur head and ur hope powers

>i said yes and here i am

>howd they get u

[Dirk, after all, was from the same time as she was. Jake should be too, right?]

[kringlefuck]

01
Erg. Hope powers?
Spiderbitch?

02
Do you mean vriska?

_{[ funny how he assumed her and not Aranea. ]}

[wonk]

>yeah man u got insane hope powers it was fuckin crazy

>hugeass dbz style ball of white light shinin all over derse

>well jades land bc when she couldnt stop u she swapped derse w her planet

>anyway yeah that happened

>also on the name: fucked if i kno man

>does vriska wear a blue dress w a scorpio symbol on it

[CASUALLY ASSUMES HE'S UP TO DATE AND JUST DOESN'T REMEMBER THE HOPE POWERS BIT BECAUSE HE WAS SO OUT OF IT.]

[kringlefuck]

01
Oh for cripes flipping sake! Youre not the roxy ive been chattering to in my present period. Youre future-future roxy just like dirk! Hells bells alive i knew this would just be an excruciatingly complicated fiasco from the get-go.

02
Miss lalonde would it be troublesome in the least if i paid you a visit in person?

03
From my utmost understanding you and i have no been acquainted yet in the bones and flesh from *my* time period but evidently a whole bunch of things have happened from you and dirks period.

04
There are a lot of unanswered questions and i dont think strider wants to shed any light on the situation. Oh hell no he doesnt that would just make things EASY now wouldnt it???

[wonk]

>i dont blame him tbh so much shit went down

>im on rover 32 rn

>thats not a typo im literally on top of it

[kringlefuck]

01
On.. top of it?

02
Dare i ask how to bloody blazes you got your little caboose up there or shall it be left a mystery left for me to delicately unravel?

01
Ahoy vriska! There she blows. It feels like it has been awhile.

02
Also if you said my name for more times youd get eight. Thought you would appreciate i noticed that.

[hypertoxic]

01
i would say i've 8een 8usy, 8ut it's sort of 8een the opposite.

02
good jo8! i am impressed. or i would 8e. may8e.

listen! you should come to the med tent.

[kringlefuck]

_{[ soooomething seems off. The lack of capital letters and the fact she had the opportunity to say his name 8 times and didn't is a bit concerning. Even Jake can pick up on that. ]}

01
Alrighty-tighty. Ill be there faster than a jack rabbit on a steaming date.

02
Um. Did something occur?

[hypertoxic]

god. i should pro8a8ly tell you 8efore you get here so you don't freak out.

someone may or may not have tried to kill me.

[kringlefuck]

_{[ oh.... welp...
he's just going to stop right there. ]}

Kill you??
But youre supposed to be stronger than that!!

_{[ plus aren't you kind of dead anyway ok that's a thought he nearly asked but he stopped himself for once. ]}

Vriska i dont understand but ok.
Im nearly there!!

[hypertoxic]

[ ... oh. ]

01
it is flattering that you 8elieve that a8out me, 8ut i am not as strong as i try to make myself look.

02
especially not against insidious sneaky 8ullshit.

03
i will see you soon.

[anytime]

FROM: strider.dave@cdc.org

alright so it falls short of a box set but weve got movies

FROM: strider.dave@cdc.org

weve got so many movies itd be fair to say were fuck deep in them

wow then like 10 thousand years later..

[kringlefuck]

_{[ but seriously. he got this text yep he most certainly did but got a bit caught up in things and now.... he fell asleep? for a good while, IC speaking.
now he wakes up and remembers this text and???? WOW what a time to be alive. ]}

Ah yes the younger strider!!
Im really sorry about the late message um. I seemed to have fallen asleep for a good long bit??

_{[ this concerns him but who gives a fuck DAVE MENTIONED MOVIES??? ]}

As you were saying???

[anytime]

[Whoa, Dave totally forgot about this. He's been busy enough that it just kind of slipped his mind.]

01
seriously
that was one long ass nap

02
ive never seen anyone get their snooze on like that and some days the only way to kill time was by kicking back in a self inflicted coma

03
but yeah movies
i got one of those media cards they were selling

day 42

[peterpanic]

[After he jumps through instructor hoops, alright, let's see who this mystery fellow recruit is.]

FROM: seki.shiroe@cdc.org

Jake English, is it? How do you feel about mutant shark movies?

FROM: seki.shiroe@cdc.org

I'm supposed to watch them with you. Orders.

oh boy

[kringlefuck]

<sub>[ congratulations your mystery fellow recruit is none other than pseudo-adventurer-self-proclaimed-archaeologist-uncharted-islander Jake English himself.
he's a pretty awkward kid but... he means well.

when he gets the text, he has to double take for a moment. somebody.. actually contacting him..?

though, his response is.. quite something: ]</sub>

FROM: english.jake@cdc.org
Are you absolutely devilshitting me???? Youre pulling my leg arent you! Orders are to engage in cinemaflick viewing?
Oh harharhar thats a good one mister mysterious sir SEKI sir if that is indeed who you are.

[peterpanic]

[That... that is definitely something. Shiroe stares at his cuff, and the message, somewhere between confused and deeply regretting obeying this envelope-order. What are some of these words supposed to mean??]

FROM: seki.shiroe@cdc.org

Shiroe. You can look me up, I don't care. I have a letter from Gliese that says I have to do this! Since I'm not going to let you get me in trouble, I'll show you, but then you have to sit through these stupid movies.

[kringlefuck]

FROM: english.jake@cdc.org
Of all the silly things they could have us do they now ask for us to do the most simple thing imaginable?? Not to mention its my favorite thing to do! Thats a load of hogswallop! Theres gotta be some catch!

[peterpanic]

["Favorite thing," oh. Oh god.]

FROM: seki.shiroe@cdc.org

The catch is there's a time limit, and you're wasting time!

[kringlefuck]

_{[ he doesn't believe it. he doesn't want to believe it. after all the turmoil CDC has put him through, now they're going to watch movies? really?
Jake doesn't reply for awhile, but then he finally types back: ]}

FROM: english.jake@cdc.org
And specifically just WHICH films are we talking about here? All movies are superb. Not any of them are horrible or stupid so i highly suggest to take back your insult on them buddy.

[peterpanic]

FROM: seki.shiroe@cdc.org

Some nonsense called Sharknado and its sequel, and something else I'm sure is just as stunning called Sharktopus. If they turn out to be worth sitting through, I'll take it back.
