2025.02.01 22:10 harryhinderson HOMESTUCK Episode 12: Savior of the Dreaming Dead
FOREWARDS
I rewrote last episode to include quite a lot more shenanigans between Dave and Jade, up to when Dave installs grist torrent.
So obviously Terezi has a super flirtatious tone when talking to Davesprite, but as her conversations with John go on they also begin to sound more flirtatious. Terezi essentially interprets John’s snippitiness as him flirting with her.
END OF FOREWARDS
Dave enters his room to find Diamonds Droog already in there. Dave attempts to fend him off with his shitty broken sword, but he barely puts up a fight as DD thrusts a spear through him, instantly killing him. DD absconds through the window.
OP 4A
SECTION 1
John approaches his father’s wrecked vehicle. He’s clearly perplexed by the caution tape surrounding it. He hops over it and looks inside of it, only to find no trace of his package. He then gets a pester on his glasses.
TEREZI: Hi John, it's me again.
JOHN: Who?
JOHN: Oh. The leetspeaking blind one.
JOHN: Go away!
TEREZI: John, don’t make fun of my handicap.
JOHN: Which one? The blindness, or the leetspeak?
TEREZI: I am very sensitive about both.
JOHN: Sorry.
TEREZI: You can make it up to me, by letting me help you.
JOHN: Wow, you drive a hard bargain!
TEREZI: Whatever, just listen and do what I say, because we know you’re going to eventually anyway. Because you’re a nice guy, and kind of a total weenie pushover.
JOHN: Oh yeah? Well you’re a huge…
JOHN: A huge…
JOHN: Oh man, what do you even want, “Calibrator”.
TEREZI: I’m motivated by self interest, to help you advance more quickly.
TEREZI: Because I have your whole adventure in front of me-
JOHN: Do you have a braille screen?
TEREZI: Shhh!
TEREZI: Anyway, it's long and boring, and you could stand to skip some steps.
JOHN: I don’t think I understand.
JOHN: How can you be bored, if you can just scroll to whatever point in my timeline you want?
TEREZI: …
TEREZI: Okay, I can do that.
TEREZI: And I am.
TEREZI: But I guess what I really mean is… I just want to mess with you.
JOHN: Oh, okay. That sounds really great and helpful!
TEREZI: I mean mess with the timeline.
TEREZI: My friends think we can’t really change anything, and they’re probably right.
TEREZI: But I don’t care, I want to mess with it and taste what happens.
JOHN: Sounds dumb.
JOHN: But if it means you’re going to help me, then go ahead I guess.
TEREZI: Let's get you to the gate first.
TEREZI: Its not far.
TEREZI: I sniffed out a map of your planet.
JOHN: Woah, you have a map?
JOHN: Can I have it?
TEREZI: It's huge, and mostly irrelevant.
TEREZI: Here, let me draw a small section of it, showing where you need to go.
John’s glasses display an incredibly poorly drawn map, that looks as if it were drawn by a blind woman.
JOHN: This is the worst looking crap I have ever seen. What am I looking at here?
TEREZI: It's the best I can do.
JOHN: Ok, sorry, but it's useless.
JOHN: What’s with the colors?
TEREZI: I picked the ones that smell nice.
JOHN: You couldn’t just like… crop the world map? I thought you guys were THE BEST.
TEREZI: Shut up, my map is fine.
TEREZI: It's not even that far away, I’ll lead you to it.
JOHN: Alright, I guess.
TEREZI: Let's get moving, John. Are you ready to fuck up the timeline???
JOHN: Sure.
John begins walking into the background.
SECTION 2
We see the countdown until Dave’s meteor hits him. It's around 2 hours.
Rose aggresses multiple Imps, and is then assaulted by an ogre, titled a “Lime Ogre”. Rose stabs it in the eyes and rides it down a waterfall.
DAVE: So I’ve been building up your house. Wait, why do you live in this weird compound. Do you host eastern european industrial raves.
DAVE: Nevermind. The point is, I’m out of grist. So if you’re done whipping that Ogre like a rented mule, maybe you could convert it into a grist waterfall.
ROSE: Right now? The spoils would sink.
DAVE: I dunno, beach the thing first, I guess. Unless you were planning on sailing it down the Mississippi like a runaway slave.
ROSE: And then what?
DAVE: What do you mean, you kill it and release a shitload of grist.
DAVE: Puncture the base of its skull or something.
DAVE: Does it even have a skull, or a brain stem.
DAVE: Can you find out?
ROSE: That sounds malicious.
DAVE: What?
DAVE: But you just rigged the thing with an oedipal harness and rode its torso like a log flume ride down a magical rainbow.
ROSE: That was self defense.
DAVE: This is bullshit. Its an unfeeling monster, who gives a fuck.
DAVE: Look, you can either kill it now for the loot or wait a couple hours for grist torrent to steal more of John’s. But I’ll be pretty busy in a couple hours, so make up your mind.
ROSE: Does John know you’ve been sapping his grist yet?
DAVE: No. But he’s still got a ton, so screw him.
SECTION 3
John is spit out of a pipe, with a loud FLURP sound as oil shoots out. Many of his items are sent at different trajectories. In particular, the con air rabbit is sent into a river of oil and caught by John’s ghost gloves. John holds the rabbit in his hands, and sees a Salamander family. He has an incredible thought. He hands the smaller Salamander the rabbit and hugs them both. Tears stream down his eyes. John gets pestered by Karkat.
KARKAT: John, what the wet bag of human hoofbeast shit to the face do you think you’re doing.
KARKAT: Oh my lord, no wonder you all fuck up this game so bad.
JOHN: What? I am just acting out a scene from an awesome movie and having some fun, what’s wrong with that?
KARKAT: What kind of crappy earth movie is this? Stupid rabbit asshole screws the pooch?
JOHN: No, it's about these criminals on a runaway plane, and they’ve got to be stopped by Nick Cage and John Cusack.
KARKAT: That sounds pretty good, I guess.
JOHN: It is so sweet, you would probably like it.
KAKRAT: I’ve heard of John Cusack, I think. Wasn’t he in Serendipity? That was pretty good.
JOHN: Haha, oh man, that sucked so bad!
KARKAT: Okay, I don’t see how we’re supposed to become friends if you recoil from my olive branch like I’m wiggling a gnarled tree monster’s dick in your direction.
JOHN: Don’t you have alien movies?
KARKAT: You’ll probably laugh if I tell you the name of one.
JOHN: Well, i already laughed when you said the name of one of ours, so who cares?
KARKAT: OK, fine.
KARKAT: ONE THAT IS AMAZING AND IS A CLASSIC IS...
KARKAT: WHEREIN NUMEROUS VIGILANTES CONFRONT PERIL; ONE OF THEM BETRAYS THE OTHERS; (BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE PART OF THE PLAN ALL ALONG);
KARKAT: SEVERAL ATTRACTIVE FEMALE LEADS PROVOKE ROMANTIC TENSION; FOUR MAJOR CHARACTERS WEAR UNUSUAL HATS; ONE HOLDS PLOT-CRITICAL SECRET;
JOHN: Wait, is this the title?
KARKAT: It goes on.
JOHN: I think that’s cumbersome and completely illogical.
KARKAT: Yeah, that’s what happens when you start running out of movie titles after thousands of years of film history.
KARKAT: You know, I think your civilization just didn’t mature enough or something. Must be why it sprouted such a miserable crop of players, instead of basically gods like us.
JOHN: Well, I’ve got one of your godly players helping me right now, so we can’t be in such bad shape.
KARKAT: What are you talking about?
JOHN: GC gave me a map, and showed me a shortcut.
KARKAT: What the hell is she doing? This isn’t what we talked about at all.
Karkat turns around, to see Terezi on her computer giggling like an imbecile while talking to John.
KARKAT: Why is she giggling like an imbecile? While talking to you???
KARKAT: What are you two up to? Are you two in cahoots now???
JOHN: umm…
Terezi walks over to Karkat and punches him.
KARKAT: Ow, fuck!
KARKAT: She just walked over here and punched me, and said it was from you.
JOHN: I don’t know why you guys do this to yourselves. All this time jackassery, it's giving me a headache.
KARKAT: If you talk to her again in the past when she tries hatching more plans, tell her to polish my bone bulge and set a table for fucking two on it. It's for our candle light hate date.
JOHN: I like how you guys resorted to trolling each other, through us.
KARKAT: Fuck you.
JOHN: Oh, did you talk to Jade yet?
KARKAT: Jade? Ja- why would I want to do that?
JOHN: That’s what you said last time you talked to me. I dunno.
KARKAT: Oh, dammit. Are you sure?
JOHN: Yeah. Want me to copy/paste the conversation?
KARKAT: No, no. God, no. I hate when we start going down that road.
KARKAT: Oh shit, something’s wrong.
KARKAT: I have to go.
TEREZI: Hehehehe!
TEREZI: John, stop hugging that salamander and being stupidly adorable. We’re on a strict cheating timetable here.
TEREZI: Wait, who are you talking to right now?
JOHN: It was carcino.
TEREZI: Hahahaha. I bet he’s confused and grumpy.
JOHN: Yeah, sorta.
TEREZI: I can hear him banging on those keys. I think this whole thing is just a way to vent frustration.
TEREZI: He has no purpose yet. Not like you and me, John~
JOHN: Oh, he said to give you a message.
JOHN: He said he wants you to touch his bone lump or something.
TEREZI: What!
JOHN: And he’s basically in love with you.
TEREZI: Wait, did he actually say that? In confidence?
JOHN: I dunno, pretty much.
TEREZI: Can you paste exactly what he said?
JOHN: Ohhh no. We are not going down that road. Besides, it was a private conversation between private gentlemen colleagues.
JOHN: Also, you’re going to punch him.
TEREZI: I am? When?
JOHN: Pretty soon in your future. Also he said you said its from me.
TEREZI: I’m sure highly justifiable and well deserved punches will be thrown in due time.
TEREZI: John, take a look at where that shortcut got you.
John turns around, and sees a massive palace. He begins walking towards it.
JOHN: Oh, wow. What’s that?
TEREZI: It's your denizen’s palace.
JOHN: My denizen?
TEREZI: Every planet has a Denizen that lives deep underground. Sleeping, and guarding a huge Grist hoard.
JOHN: So you want me to go down there and kill him? Won’t that be, uh, kinda hard?
TEREZI: Hahaha. Normally you’d stand no chance at your meager rung, but you have an advantage.
JOHN: Oh?
TEREZI: Normally over the course of your journey, you wake up the Denizen before entering the 7th gate, which is the only way into the palace.
TEREZI: We won’t bother waking it. We will skip straight to the seventh gate, find it, and kill it in its sleep.
JOHN: Um, ok.
JOHN: So what’s the point of releasing the grist hoard? Is it just so I can make tons more sweet loot?
TEREZI: No way. There’s an astronomical amount of grist, much more than you could ever use in an alchemiter.
TEREZI: It's for the ultimate alchemy.
JOHN: What’s ultimate alchemy?
TEREZI: Nothing for you to worry about.
John stops and begins inspecting a small gate beside a broken bridge.
JOHN: What’s this?
JOHN: Is this the gate?
TEREZI: Nope, just a return node. There are lots of these around.
TEREZI: Hop in, I’ll get you to the gate after that.
SECTION 4
We see Dave’s countdown again. 30 seconds until the Meteor hits.
We see Dave climbing up the tower which Seppucrow perched on. He’s clearly struggling, but nearly at the top. The meteor is looming ominously above. We see bro standing atop it, watching. Seppucrow notices Dave and pecks him, causing him to fall off. Bro raises his unbreakable Katana, and with one strike, splits the meteor in two halves. As Dave is falling, Bro’s rocketboard suddenly flies in and saves him from certain death.
SECTION 5
John and Casey appear near his alchemiter. The earlier thing John made by randomly mashing buttons, a rocketpack with a bunch of junk in it,
TEREZI: John, see that big piece of junk over there?
JOHN: The rocket pack?
TEREZI: Yeah, captchalogue that and send me the code.
TEREZI: I can make it work for you.
JOHN: okay.
John captchalogues the rocketpack and sends the code.
TEREZI: Be back in one second.
TEREZI: “PCHOOOOO”
John waits for the code for a second.
JOHN: Hello?
TEREZI: What.
JOHN: I thought you said you’d be back in less than a second?
TEREZI: I was. I gave you the code. It's PCHOOOOO.
TEREZI: Why would I make you wait? That would be so inconsiderate.
JOHN: Oh… I thought that was you going off to get the code, and making like this rockety noise or something. Because you’re kind of goofy.
TEREZI: Well, you’re kind of. Welcome. You ungrateful earth hoofbeast’s noisy butthole!!!
JOHN: Oh gosh. I’m sooo sorry!
JOHN: This is just a stupid code. I’m sorry.
JOHN: Are you sure this is right? It seems kind of… obvious.
TEREZI: If it was so obvious, why didn’t you guess the code???
JOHN: Shut up.
JOHN: Shut up is why.
TEREZI: Hehehe!!!
JOHN: I guess I’ll go make this rocket now.
TEREZI: Wait, John.
TEREZI: I need to know if you want to go.
JOHN: Haha, what?
TEREZI: Do you really want to blast off, John? Really, really badly?
JOHN: uh, I guess.
TEREZI: You don’t sound sure. That won’t do.
TEREZI: Let's make a game out of it.
JOHN: Huh?
TEREZI: Do you like games, John?
JOHN: Yeah. Games are fun.
TEREZI: Great.
TEREZI: I have a coin here.
Terezi holds up a coin, a TROLL CEGAR, between her index finger and thumb.
TEREZI: If it lands on the scratched side, you don’t go through that gate.
TEREZI: If it lands on the unscratched side, you blast off, and go on whatever cute little adventures you want.
JOHN: Okay.
JOHN: That doesn’t sound like much of a game. More like a really lame ultimatum, that I don’t even have to listen to.
TEREZI: Hey! My coin is cool.
JOHN: No it’s not. It’s lame, and really dumb. How will I even know if you’re telling the truth about the result?
TEREZI: That’s the fun part, you don’t, and it doesn’t matter.
JOHN: Okay, whatever.
Terezi flips her coin, and it lands off screen. We don’t see the result, and Terezi doesn’t either. (SHE’S BLIND, REMEMBER?)
TEREZI: Unscratched it is.
TEREZI: Looks like you’re going.
JOHN: Does that mean I win?
TEREZI: If you want it to be a victory.
JOHN: Ha! In your face, calibrator!
JOHN: Now to see if this dumbass code actually works.
TEREZI: Talk to you on the other side.
John creates the rocketpack. Before he takes off, he gets pestered by Dave.
DAVE: Okay I’m in.
JOHN: In where?
DAVE: The medium.
JOHN: Oh, already?
DAVE: What do you mean already shit took 4 goddamn hours.
Dave is standing over the destroyed Lil’ Cal. Seppucrow is looming before Dave, emotionless.
JOHN: Huh, I guess time flew by while I was doing other stuff.
JOHN: How did it go with you and Jade?
DAVE: I don’t want to talk about it.
DAVE: Just imagine the worst day of my life just stood up and clinked a glass like it was about to give a speech, then took a shit in my dinner and passed out with its pants down.
JOHN: Ew dog! Ewwww!
DAVE: Shut the fuck up. What are you doing.
JOHN: I’m in a rocket pack, and I am about to blast off into space. It should be sweet.
DAVE: Ok. I need some advice. So my Kernelsprite which was this brainless feathery asshole with a sword in it just turned into a bigger, like, ghostly feathery asshole.
DAVE: It seems to want me to prototype it again. Not sure what to do.
JOHN: Hmm… have you asked Rose?
DAVE: She’s asleep for some reason.
JOHN: Wow, really? Then I don’t really know, man. I’m not sure what to tell you.
DAVE: Ok fine, but…
DAVE: It seems to be suggesting something here, and… I guess I’m kinda weirded out by its suggestion.
JOHN: I don’t know, just do what it says!
JOHN: It knows stuff about the game, so it probably knows better than I do…
JOHN: Gotta go! I am gonna blast off to the seventh gate. And uh, win the game I guess.
DAVE: OK well it definitely sounds like you’re fucking something up there. Later.
COMMAND: John: Captchalogue Casey
John captchalogues casey and blasts off towards the seventh gate.
We zoom out, to Jack watching John through one of his fenestrated windows.
Right before John is about to enter the gate, it abruptly cuts to black.
SECTION 6
A ticking noise begins playing, and then it cuts to Prospit.
We see a crowd of Prospitians, walking through its streets. They’re wearing simple black mourning clothes, rather than their typical clown garb. They blankly look up, as they view Skaia get covered in thick, dark clouds. It blocks out all of its light, leaving Prospit in pitch blackness.
Cut to Rose’s planet. We see Jaspersprite, rifling inside of Rose’s fridge. He hears feet tapping in the distance and stops for a moment
JS: Hmm?
JS: Rose? Is that you?
JS: Are you back from Dave friend’s house?
Clubs Deuce’s voice responds.
CD: Nope!
CD: There’s no one here!
JS: Oh ok, that makes sense.
JS: I don’t see anyone.
CD: Hmm…
CD: Well, you might want to checks your visions.
CD: Because where you see no men, I see four!
JS: That’s really confusing to me but okay!
Jaspersprite continues going through the fridge, until they find a can of Tuna. They take it out and take off the lid. The ticking gets louder. It is a charge of C4. They look at it, perplexed. It explodes a large portion of Rose’s house.
Clubs Deuce comes from off screen and stands over the rubble. He is wearing a clown outfit, sans a hat. He takes out a walkie talkie.
CD: You tell the boss that you just whacked the Seer’s sprite.
The screen splits, and Jack appears on the right, shrouded in shadow. His exact location can’t be made out. Notably, you can see that he has two eyes.
SS: Alright.
Jack takes out a big chest and opens it. It is filled with assorted knives, and taped onto it are photos of Dave, Rose, Dadbert, Bro, Nannasprite, Mom, and Jaspersprite. Dave, Nannasprite, and Jaspersprite have big red Xs over them. Bro has a red question mark over his photo. Jack takes out a red crayon that looks like it's been gnawed on by someone with sharp teeth and crosses out Jaspersprite.
SS: You tell the Droll to go back into hiding. The Dignitary already killed the Knight, and I’m getting into position to take out the Rogue.
CD: Yeah, you say you’ll get on that, but, y'know boss, you don’t really understand why we’re still doing all this. Even if you found out what happened to the ring…
Jack holds up his hand and takes Lil’ Cal out of his inventory. He puts another hand on him, looking into his eyes and clutching him tightly.
SS: The ring ain’t important anymore.
CD: See, that’s what *I’m* sayin. You say.
SS: I don’t pay you to mouth off.
CD: You thought he couldn’t pay you at all anymores.
SS: Shut the hell up.
SS: If you see anyone, do not engage.
A shadow appears behind the Droll. It’s Dave, wearing Derse pajamas. He has a new sword, with a distinct Dersite appearance. CD doesn’t notice at all.
CD: Alright. Don’t engage. Got i-
Dave slices off Clubs Deuce’s head. His walkie talkie falls to the ground.
SS: Great. This is Jack Noir, signing off.
SECTION 7
Fade to black. The text “MONTHS IN THE FUTURE, BUT NOT MANY” appears below. The word “not” is then crossed out. A red loading screen, with a red Spirograph appears. Sounds of a computer chugging are heard, as it loads “GATE 8”. The loading screen fades out. The fading Spirograph is overlaid with a now impotent Skaia. We pan down from Skaia to Dave’s planet, the Land of .
A sequence very similar to Dave: Accelerate plays out, with the notable exclusion of Calsprite. We extensively see Dave use his new Turntables to aid in combat. They have two modes. If set to “BREAK”, they will function as time travel devices. When spun clockwise they will move the user forward in time, and when spun counterclockwise they will move the user back in time. When set to “HEADS”, they will function as musical instruments. This will allow the user to use powerful techniques known as Fraymotiefs. These are initiated by playing a short musical refrain. Important to note that he actually shows an unexpected amount of emotion while attacking enemies, as if he’s actually pissed off.
The new sword Dave is wielding, the legendary Caldescratch, can cycle through different points in its timeline. Notably, before and after it was broken.
Dave calls Rose on his apple glasses. Rose sounds a lot more “distant” than she usually does, while Dave has a bit more emotion in his voice. The relationship between Dave and Rose is audibly rather awkward and stilted.
DAVE: I’m back in this fucking place.
DAVE: *Again*.
DAVE: I don’t think Jack has anywhere left to hide.
ROSE: And then you’ll go back after you kill him?
DAVE: Yeah.
ROSE: Okay.
ROSE: Did you buy every Fraymotif?
DAVE: I bought them like a month ago, remember.
DAVE: Even the ones that need John or Jade.
ROSE: Oh, right.
ROSE: I fear I may be losing track of time.
DAVE: Yeah, that’s because you spend all of your time looking at hentai beasts of the northern kingdom.
ROSE: You can’t avoid them either.
DAVE: Gee Rose, thanks for the reminder that every time I go to sleep I see your friends twisting my memories into nightmare fuel and screaming incoherently into my ear.
DAVE: Its a fucking pleasure, being here with you and our crazy religion. It really is.
ROSE: Alright.
ROSE: Do you recall the plan they relayed to you?
DAVE: Bit much to call it a “plan”.
DAVE: I just go back and tell John to not get trolled like a gullible stooge by one of those jackasses and then flail myself into my glorified featherduster.
DAVE: Running straight into a Denizen’s lair. I don’t know what he was thinking.
DAVE: Even at the top of the echeladder we don’t stand a chance against them.
DAVE: Guess those crazy Trolls knew that the whole time considering they didn’t even talk to us once after they killed him and Jade.
ROSE: Most likely.
DAVE: Any updates on Derse?
ROSE: No.
Rose looks at the wall of her room. There are two WANTED posters, for the Seer of Light and the Knight of Time. In both of their portraits they are wearing their Derse pajamas. Dave is wielding the Broken Caldesfwich, and Rose is wielding the Thorns of Echidna. Lavender writing crosses out several zeroes from Dave’s bounty and adds several to Rose’s, and also adds stench lines to Dave.
ROSE: Everybody is still mourning. Nobody cares anymore.
Rose looks outside. Derse is completely desolate. Cobwebs and other signs of disuse give the impression that nobody even lives there.
DAVE: Yeah, that’s about what I expected.
DAVE: I’ll see you later, Rose.
ROSE: Bye.
Dave does crazy flashstep parkour from gear to gear, in search of Jack.
SECTION 8
Dave finds Jack’s hiding spot, literally right next to his own house. Jack is now sporting one less eye and has a rocket pack strapped to him. Dave tries being sneaky, but Jack almost immediately notices there’s someone near him.
Jack turns on his rocket pack and is about to take off. Dave takes out his time tables and plays a short refrain, using the tier 4 fraymotif Eschatonic Rupture. A red bolt of magic emanates from his timetables and quickly moves towards Jack. He turns around and notices right before it hits him. When it hits him, it wriggles inside of him like a worm. Jack suddenly stops and begins vomiting blood, clearly in deep pain. Jack falls to his knees, allowing a time clone to rip off his rocket pack. The present Dave in the meantime walks to roughly the position the timeclone appeared and time travels.
With nowhere to run anymore, Jack draws his regisword and begins swordfighting Dave. Jack keeps up with Dave surprisingly well, even with his time travel abilities and flashstepping. However, Dave is pretty quickly able to chop one of his arms off. Dave kicks him in the ribs, and he smashes into a wall and falls to the floor.
JACK: Hahahaha…
JACK: I *loathe* you.
DAVE: Yeah that's fair.
JACK: You got…
Jack coughs up blood at Dave’s feet.
JACK: You got a smoke on you?
DAVE: …
DAVE: No.
JACK: Figures.
JACK: …Hey kid.
JACK: Did you know…
JACK: Your puppet talks?
DAVE: Yeah it screeches incoherently like a Siberian Wood Ape.
JACK: No you douche, words. It speaks… *gasp* it speaks words.
JACK: Do you know what it told me?
DAVE: Did toy know that I dont give a shit because you’re insane?
JACK: Yeah, I killed. So what?
DAVE: Most people don’t murder people for no reason, just so you know.
JACK: No one else wanted to know where we were, knight.
JACK: No one else cared.
DAVE: You didn’t even have a future.
JACK: But you do.
JACK: You’re delusional.
JACK: You’re so content to suffer here, and accomplish nothing.
JACK: So content to keep the Seer trapped here with you.
JACK: Why?
Dave wordlessly and emotionlessly cuts his head off. He stares at the body for a few moments.
The screen pans to show Calsprite cackling at the dead body before him, as if it's the single funniest thing he’s ever seen.
DAVE: Oh god dammit.
COMMAND: Dave: Solicit profound wisdom from your friendly guide.
Calsprite continues cackling incoherently at the corpse before him, in the now stereotypical “HOO HAA HOO HEE HAA HEE HAA” fashion, as if its the funniest thing the bastard has ever seen. Dave tells Calsprite to shut up multiple times, and in frustration pesters Rose.
DAVE: That’s it, I can’t take this anymore.
DAVE: It was a mistake prototyping Seppucrow with this useless mindnumbing jackass.
DAVE: I’m going back.
ROSE: So you didn’t kill Jack?
DAVE: No, I killed him.
ROSE: Okay.
ROSE: What do you think will happen to me when I go to sleep?
ROSE: Will I be lost, drifting in the furthest ring forever?
ROSE: Or will I wake up, and I’ll just be alone forever?
ROSE: I’m not sure which outcome is more unsettling.
DAVE: The thing with time travel is, you can’t overthink it. Just roll with it and see what happens.
DAVE: If you really trust the horrorterrors then I’d just do it.
DAVE: And hey, you might even be able to help your past dream self wake up sooner without all that fuss we went through.
ROSE: I think the true purpose of this game is to see how many qualifiers we can get to precede the word "self" and still understand what we're talking about.
DAVE: The true purpose is to make a sprite that doesn't make me want to flog myself raw with my own brain stem.
DAVE: Anything else is gravy.
ROSE: If my past self can wake up sooner, maybe I'll be the one to visit you first this time.
ROSE: I'll fly by and remind you you're already awake and don't know it.
DAVE: Yeah, that'd be cool I guess.
DAVE: I'm gonna go now.
ROSE: Good luck.
Dave takes out his turntables and gives them a good long spin.
SECTION 9
DAVE: OK well it definitely sounds like you’re fucking something up there.
John nearly turns on the rocketpack, but is interrupted by another pester from Dave
DAVE: WAIT
DAVE: Don’t go, somethings up.
JOHN: Ugh…
Dave returns from the future in a puff of red gear crap.
DAVE: OK It's me from the future.
JOHN: Huh?
DAVE: It's me. I just appeared. Wearing a rad suit.
Casey looks over John’s shoulder, to look at the messages he’s receiving.
DAVE: He says don’t go.
JOHN: Pffft. What kind of a gullible stooge do you think I am?
DAVE: He says gullible enough to trust a leetspeaking troll who wants you dead to strap on a rocketpack cause she said so.
JOHN: This is a terrible april fools prank, you’re twelve days too late.
JOHN: Remember, you are talking to the pranking MASTER.
DAVE: OK that was probably the dumbest thing you just said just now.
JOHN: Hold on, someone else is bugging me.
DAVE: John you fucking idiot stop being a tool and unstrap yourself from that piece of shit right now!
DAVE: If our friendship means anything you’d listen to me.
JOHN: Hahaha! Using your phone and computer at the same time to message me!
JOHN: You’re going through a lot of trouble actually. I don’t know why you’re bothering with this.
DAVE: Yeah, why would I bother. This sort of cornball bullshit is your cup of tea, not mine. Don’t make me track you down and stop you in person.
JOHN: You can’t track down what you CAN’T CATCH!
JOHN: Pchoooo!
DAVE: Oh god, did you just take off?
DAVE: John!
JOHN: No, but it would’ve been really sweet if I did.
DAVE: OK well just don’t ok.
DAVE: I'm turning this timeline over to past Dave and helping you all stay alive and do this thing the right way this time.
DAVE: Just stay on the goddamn ground, for fucks sake.
Future Dave drops off all of his equipment in front of present Dave and somersaults into Seppucrowsprite, becoming Davesprite.
COMMAND: Dave: Solicit profound wisdom from your friendly guide.
DAVE: Hey.
DAVESPRITE: Sup.
They just kind of stare at each other for a good 10 seconds.
SECTION 10
Turns out, John decided to take off anyway.
We zoom out, to Jack viewing it from the 3rd wall. He takes a record out of some record thing and takes it on a record player. The song “I’m a member of the Midnight Crew” begins playing, slightly distorted.
John remembers the letter he was sent by Dave, a lot of episodes ago. He suddenly remembers how much Dave means to him as a friend and changes course, complete with completely nonsensical onomatopoeia.
Jack begins furiously and angrily typing on the typewriter on his desk. He’s so terrible at using it that it breaks. The record he put on the record player begins skipping like an ass, and he gets incredibly pissed off.
SECTION 11
Davesprite pesters Terezi
DAVESPRITE: Hey calibrator.
DAVESPRITE: Don’t talk to John anymore, your plan didn’t work.
DAVESPRITE: I mean it did, but then it didn’t. So you might as well stop trying forever.
TEREZI: You smell like orange creamsicles.
DAVESPRITE: …What.
DAVESPRITE: You’re aliens. Do you even have orange creamsicles?
TEREZI: Of course! What kind of awful civilization wouldn’t have orange creamsicles?
DAVESPRITE: OK that’s pretty far fetched but whatever. No more hijinks from you, I’ll make sure they don’t work.
TEREZI: Obviously I knew it wouldn’t work, he wouldn’t have gone no matter what happened. My friends have been talking to him from his future. I just wanted to mess with him, and see what would happen.
DAVESPRITE: I don’t think you’re following. You DID kill him and doomed a timeline, then I had to go back to the alpha timeline to stop him.
TEREZI: Oh… I didn’t think of that.
DAVESPRITE: Yeah, I’m telling you, huge pushover. He’ll do what you say unless it happens to be for his own good.
TEREZI: Now I feel kinda bad. Are you sure I can’t just talk to him, even if it's just to apologize?
TEREZI: Would that be OK with you, sir brave knight?
DAVE: Yeah, that’s fine I guess. No more coy bullshit antics though. Not even like, an idiotic angry winking emote.
TEREZI: Or what? You’re gonna hunt me down through time ooooh noooo!
DAVESPRITE: Yeah.
TEREZI: Are you sure you want to get your clock cleaned by a blind chick?
DAVESPRITE: I just merged with an impaled orange goddamn bird and now I got all these crazy powers.
TEREZI: Ugh. Self prototyping is so dumb.
TEREZI: This is why you all fail. There are forces that don’t like it when you don’t play as intended.
TEREZI: Oh well, I can’t stop you now.
TEREZI: Hey Dave.
DAVESPRITE: What.
TEREZI: I’ve been researching some of your earth soap operas. Is this you?
Davesprite pulls up an image of some asshole from captain planet on his iglasses.
DAVESPRITE: Oh Jegus, fuck no. Why would that breathtaking douche remind you of me at all?
TEREZI: But he has a fiery personality. Sort of brash and impetuous. And in your face. Like fire itself.
DAVEPSIRTE: Now I know you’re bullshitting me. Do I look like the kind of guy to accept a magic ring from Whoopi Goldberg?
TEREZI: Who's Whoopi Goldberg?
DAVESPRITE: Who cares.
TEREZI: OK, I made some modifications.
TEREZI: This is so you, Dave. Come on, admit it.
Davesprite pulls up an image of the same douche, but with glasses, his symbol, and a broken sword shittily MS painted on.
DAVESPRITE: OK that’s actually pretty spot on.
DAVESPRITE: Look. Just don’t bug John. That’s all there is to say on the matter.
TEREZI: Thanks, Dave.
TEREZI: You’re not actually all that terrible.
DAVESPRITE: Okay.
DAVESPRITE: I really don’t feel like talking to you anymore, so see you never I guess.
SECTION 12
This is where Jack: Ascend goes. The transition will have to be something I figure out at a later date. Probably something with regards to Doomed Rose, and/or John. The framing device here will need to be worked out. Obviously this is without the part where Rose wakes up. Yes, BQ’s hips are in this. Yes, there will also be considerable fan service-y camera angles with regards to mom lalonde’s hips in other areas of this adaptation. Please stop holding my family hostage.
One thing I want to make clear is that, at least for Jack, the process of transforming using the ring is incredibly painful. Like he is being fucking tortured. The wings violently burst out of him and shit.
BACKWORDS
Next episode,“The Lord of Angels”, will have to focus heavily on Rose, The Battlefield, and Carapaces in general. If you didn’t notice, we’re very behind on what the Alpha timeline Rose is up to, hence why I introduced Dave’s countdown as a way of keeping track of the nonlinear aspects of this. Next episode will also introduce Kanaya, Aradia, and we’ll probably see the trolls’ meteor in full for the first time. It will also probably be the first time Lord English will directly be tied in with the main plot.
I’m probably gonna need to go back and add the timer to the last episode as well to keep everything organized.
Why is it called "Savior of the Dreaming Dead" if that's Jade? Because it makes no fucking sense for Jade.

2025.02.01 22:10 Emotional_Doubt1784 When do I disregard my contractions as prodromal labour
I’m super confused. I’ve been experiencing contractions since yesterday.
Yesterday was excruciating painful back aches with not so regular contractions. I realised baby was in wonky position and did some stretches and moves that is supposed to spin babies.
Soon after pain subsided but now having regular contractions. Not too painful but have been more frequent for the past two hours.
There is no water breaking or mucus plug dislodged so I’m so confused.
I’m 36w+4 with twins so really confused.
Has anyone got any advice?
If this continues to tomorrow I’m going to go to my hospital.

2025.02.01 22:10 Full-Comment5980 Showed my Dad “invincible (like you)” and he loved it
My dad and I are very close. Lately we’ve been talking a lot about lyricism and music in general. We love diving deeper into songs we like and seeing why those lyrics connect with us. I had him listen to the song bc it reminds me of him and told him to give me his thoughts, as he was listening to it he started to hum and already knew the chorus by the end so he sang along. He said he liked it but didn’t have an experience to connect to it so he asked me why it reminded me of him. I have a past with depression and my Dad was one of the people who helped me with it most so the song definitely reminded me of him. Won’t get too into it but there’s a lot that we as a family have struggled with and my dad has gad to deal with it the most, yet he still was there for me and always carried the weight of anything he could. This might be a little personal for here but there’s been a lot of negativity on here lately so I just wanted to share something good.

2025.02.01 22:10 Haunting-Guide-5153 Preciso terminar meu relacionamento
Sou um mlk de 15 anos e estou namorando a pouco mais de um ano. Durante esse tempo tivemos muitos momentos bons, e os poucos ruins me marcam até hj, não por ela, mais por mim. Sou viciado em pornografia a 4 anos e estou lutando contra isso, inclusive numa melhora incrível, mais sinto que com isso não tenho sido eu mesmo com ela a um tempo. Já conversei sobre com ela mais mantivemos a relação. Atualmente tô pra começar o ensino médio e com isso minha carga horária de escola aumentou muito, meu pai não trabalha mais na cidade e moro a 20 km dela, trabalho aos fins de semana, apenas então complica muito de se ver. Nos últimos meses tenho tido uma precao imensa pra fazer algumas coisas mais pra frente com ela, não tenho vontade nenhuma mais fico com medo de quebrar as expectativas dela e acabo me frustando. Sinceramente, tem uma voz interior me implorando pra terminar, pra livrar ela de mim e focar mais no meu vício e no trampo. Oq eu faço?

2025.02.01 22:10 Negative-Screen2542 I don't know what to call it
I live in a barren land, No trees, nor grass, Just earth and rubble,
So I ask the birds to come, To make it less lonely, But won't, Cus there's no trees.
So I plant and water, Greats oaks, And ask them again, But won't, Cus there's no food.
So I gather bugs, And food alike So they come, In swarms.
But I cant speak to birds, As I'm not one Or even have the same interests, As I'm not one.
So I still sit alone, And miss the barren landscape, Of my past, So I could do this again, But with real friends.

2025.02.01 22:10 Select-Education6093 Bank teller needing guidance for finance career
I live in Montreal, Quebec and I am graduating college this semester and I work at ScotiaBank as a senior teller.
I do not want to pursue a 3 year bachelor degree (Finance) in University with the mindset that I am wasting 3 years of my life when in the meantime I could be doing my courses/certificates internally with the bank in order to be a Financial Advisor.
The thing is my old man wants me to have a degree in whatever field, he just wants me to have a degree that way I accomplished something in life, while I see it as wasting time when I can get in the job market straight up after college which is what I really want even though people around me keep on saying your 21, enjoy it, once you hit the job market its a 9-5 everyday. I don’t care about it. I want to grind now and enjoy later.
My goal is to get into Private Banking. I dont know yet exactly where in PB, but I am really interested in that field.
Can you guys give me any advice? Thanks.

2025.02.01 22:10 runclimbcycle Which Shanling transport for a schiit modi dac?
Hello, so I've got a schiit modi dac (which seems decent) paired with an old denon cd player, that skips a bit and doesn't read scratched CDs etc. So thinking about getting a dedicated transport.
Looking at the Shanling cr60 and et3. Question is, is the modi 'good enough' to warrant the extra cash on the et3 (which gets rave reviews) or would the cheaper cr60 be fine?
And would be interested to know anyone's experience if they've paired a Modi with a Shanling transport. Thanks!
