[Oh thank god, it's a friendly face. At least, he thinks so? The last he heard from Jade, she was gray and dead, but she seems pretty undead and ungray here, so he's going to hope that things are cool between them.]

Jade? Geez, now I'm even more confused! What are you doing here? And where is here? And what are all of these weird blue cloud things?

[eclectictype]

Oh, fuck the exposition shit for a second--come here!

[AAAAaaAAA--she's attacking with the Older Twin Sister Hugs! Jade's definitely alive and definitely happy to see John, so it goes without saying things are more than cool with them.]

[Apus--her Altaria--simply waits for this moment to pass.]

I missed you so much, you goober.

[harlequinhater]

[Okay, John's a little taken aback by that hug, but he's definitely not so taken aback that he's not going to hug back. That'd just be rude! Besides, Older Twin Sister Hugs are a vast improvement over Evil Twin Sister Dog Tackles.]

It's nice to see you too Jade! Though wait- I saw you like two hours ago, what do you mean you-

[It hits him pretty quickly and he lets out a long groan over Jade's shoulder.]

Ughhh, is this more timeline bullshit again?

[eclectictype]

Yes, unfortunately the timeline bullshit is at it again.

[Right, John's had enough, she'll release him from the vice grip of familial love and take a step back.]

Let me guess, you are going to say that the last time you saw me I was evil and grey, right? That's what Dave and Karkat had to say, too. I am pleased to announce that I have been released from the fish-bitch's control and I'm fine now, no more grimbark bullshit from me. Oh--also? It's 2016 here, so we jumped forward in the future of Pokemons? Now there's a whole lot more and a whole lot of different stuff to learn.

[harlequinhater]

That is exactly what I was going to say! Anyways, I'm glad you aren't evil and gray anymore, but that still raises a lot of questions. Like why are we in the world of future Pokemons? How did we get here?

[Seriously. Out of one video game and into another? Or is this some dreambubble bullshit? He's getting a headache. Maybe it'd be best to focus on the easy fun stuff for now.]

Okay, so anyways, Dave and Karkat are here too? Are they also Pokemon masters?

[eclectictype]

The universe had enough of fucking with us and we got pulled into another video game? I don't know the exact circumstances, but nobody else does, so we are just concentrating on living Pokemon lives.

[Time and space is incredibly muddled.]

Pfft--no, I mean yes, they have Pokemon, but they are far from being masters. As it stands, Dave has only gotten a badge from the first gym and I am trying to convince him to train in double battling with me.

[harlequinhater]

Well I guess Pokemon lives beat a lot of other kind of lives. At least you get cute animal companions.

[Sburb came with those too, granted. But Sburb also came with a lot more death and aberrations of time and space. Pokemon is probably the better bet.]

Are you a Pokemon master then, Jade? Your bird is bigger than mine. I would definitely believe that you could whoop Dave and Karkat's asses in a Pokemon battle anyways.

[eclectictype]

No, I am not either--you can't access the Elite Four to beat them up and take their lunch money, so...? No one can ever truly be Pokemon masters, I guess.

As for Apus over there, she is just the evolved form of your Swablu--an Altaria. She was the first egg I hatched when I came here.

[Yes, Pokemon come from eggs and it goes without saying that she could whoop Dave and Karkat in battle.]

We can't fly on our own anymore, John, it sucks. But flying on Apus has been nice!

[harlequinhater]

Ugh, I noticed that. As soon as I got here, I tried to fly up to get a lay of the land, but it didn't work at all! Now I have to walk around on two feet like a total chump again.

[And it's not exactly like his little blue friend is big enough to hop on top of. Maybe one day.]

It looks like your cloud bird is pretty comfortable, though. It has built in cushions and everything.
