Hi! This is Ashley. I, um, can't come to the phone- gear right now? Leave me a message and I'll get back to you ASAP, okay? Bye!

*Let me know the time/date of your message!

Yeah, it was horseshit. It worked out for him and John in a weird way, though, because when he started trying to hassle John at the end, John was already friends with him and knew Karkat was just being Karkat, and when he got back to when John was just starting out, he was actually kind of understanding and helpful. John has that effect on people.

Really does sound like Chris... Alright, so- you're all trying to...to make a universe with aliens alternatingly helping you and annoying you, and somehow along the way you become friends. I'm understanding this right?

Pretty much, yeah. That seems like an accurate summary for the part before things went totally shithive bananas. You pick things up quick.

I've always been afraid of scary things like monsters or ghosts, but- A few months ago, I started getting really into reading about- the supernatural, or the occult. Silly me, right? If it's strange or weird, I digest it fast. Comes with being a...recent convert and all.

[She offers a weak smile.]

And I mean... You said it was like a video game. If I think of it like a story...I can conceptualize.

Mm, yeah, I think I get that. It's sort of the same for me, I visualize things best like a movie. Or with video game terms, probably for obvious reasons.

You know, I could go over more of the mechanics stuff with you if you find that interesting? Like I said, I'm not good at the plot stuff, but the Class and Aspect system kind of has that fantasy magic personality quiz thing going for it, it's probably fun from an outside point of view.

Class and Aspect...? Like- warrior and mage and... Ohhh... I- yes, I would. I'd love to, but- probably when it's light out. ...Or I've got a roof over my head. I can just see that as something that'll take a lot of time and questions and...maybe a conference call with your friends.

I...wanna get to sleep eventually, I hope- oh. [Her beanie slides down and almost covers her eyes; it's her Munna's fault, he's pushing down.] I know, I know...

Haha. Cute.

[Pokémon are cute.]

Don't let me stop you from getting some shut-eye. Christ knows I'll be around whenever for the rest of the story or to chat or whatever.

[Her smile pulls tight.]

Oh, that's easier said than done...but when I feel like it, this guy'll help me out. [She shoves her beanie back up and jerks a thumb to her head.] Morpheus here...he eats nightmares, which as you can probably imagine, I've...had some trouble with.

[Dave blinks a couple times behind his shades. Somehow, he's managed not to hear about this magical pink moon creature.]

Oh. Huh. That's...that seems. Handy. ...What is that like?

It's... It takes some getting used to. [She shrugs lightly.] He just kind of...blanks me out. Sometimes right before I fall asleep, sometimes if I'm...you know. It doesn't get rid of everything, and I...don't usually have good dreams either? Just this empty space, which is weird. Not great, but-

[The blanket goes a little tighter.]

I don't wake up with...those things screeching in my ears, or...other stuff. So it's...better.

...Huh.

[That sounds vaguely unsettling, but also...]

That's kind of cool. Damn, is there anything Pokémon can't do?

Well, it's the only way I get some rest, so it's also kiiind of necessary.

[She half-smiles.] When we- ...Chris and, um...J-Josh, they played a little when we were kids. All... [She gestures around her; Pokémon.] I never, but...

It's not so bad here. [A Shinx nuzzles her hand, near the bottom of the screen.] With the right...help.

...Yeah. I know what you mean.

[He's thinking about people, not Pokémon (though of course Missy Elliott is a great hot water bottle and a wonderful friend), but it's true: He can't imagine what state he'd be in if Jade weren't here, or Penny, and thank Christ Karkat's here now, too.]

Sleep well, yeah? I'll look for more music to send you for the road.

You too. Tell me more next time, okay?

[...]

And um, Dave? Thanks. For...you know, not... Just, thanks.

'Course. See you around.
