Call Me Out!

[cyan_maid]

Feel like threading something out with Jane? Homestuck's canon, AUs, taking place within a game she's had CR with one of your characters with, meme-type prompts, text conversations, or otherwise? Come at me, bros!

Just warn for anything like gore, smut, etc. in the title of your toplevel and let's get down to business!

[Jane shakes her head.] Sorry...I haven't. But I was...in a weird computer simulation for two months, and now we're both in a spaceship. I don't think things can get any weirder.

[telecosmetic]

A simulation? Was it...inside the spaceship, like that holodeck thing on science fiction shows?

[cyan_maid]

I guess you could call it that. We were all hooked up into these pods, though...they're still in the other room, but...

[She lets the sentence drop. Nobody wants to go back in that room.]

[telecosmetic]

[Okay, that sounds creepy.] Someone...trapped you in there? [Is that why she sounds so hesitant?]

[cyan_maid]

Yes...and we don't know who, or where they are. [A pause.] Or how we even came to be in there.

[telecosmetic]

...that's really creepy. Oh, um, I should help you pick these up, right? [Eliza bends down to pick up one of the shirts.] Latte art? Why is there a team for that?

[cyan_maid]

[Jane's cheeks turn pink.] Uuuh...um, d-don't worry about it! I was only using these to...make something to lay on...t-there's really nothing important about teams or the like, it's all really stupid and actually creepy in origin?

[telecosmetic]

Creepy? Does it have something to do with the people who trapped you in those pods?

[cyan_maid]

...Yes.

[At least she didn't get the Team SurvivHeir shirts...?]

[telecosmetic]

[Hey, it's not like she'd know what it meant! Although...it takes a while for her to start putting things together.] Were people watching you guys? Like a really freaky reality TV show? [She's never liked those shows anyways.]

[cyan_maid]

Y...yes.......

[So red in the face right now. So red.]

[telecosmetic]

Did...did they also have creepy detailed videogames all about your life? [She's folding up that shirt and picking up some more, although at least she isn't reading them right now.]

[cyan_maid]

N...o? Though I was kind of...living in a video game before I ended up in space. That's it's own confusing story, though.

[telecosmetic]

Did...did anything happen to you in that game before you ended up here? [She touches her neck again.] If this is some kind of afterlife...

[cyan_maid]

A lot happened in that game. It's called Sburb - [A pause.] Oh God, don't tell me you've played it.

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza shakes her head quickly.] I don't even know that name. But...but I guess what was going on in Town A could count as...as a game. [Her voice goes quieter] It seemed so fun and harmless at first...

[cyan_maid]

...But it turned out all wrong, didn't it?

[telecosmetic]

...the second week, we were told there were too many of us, and we had to be brought down to four.

[cyan_maid]

[Jane gasps at that. No...not another...]

...And they...they expected you to kill to narrow it down, didn't they?

[telecosmetic]

[A quiet nod.] But there would be...trials, if someone was killed. And if you were caught...there would be an execution. A...a terrible execution.

[cyan_maid]

[Jane is trying her very best not to shake too visibly.]

...How many of these terrible games are there...

[telecosmetic]

...there can't be that many, can there? Someone would have found out and stopped them!

[She hesitates for a moment, then reaches forward to hug Jane.]

[cyan_maid]

[She accepts the hug, after a split second of surprise at the gesture. Hugs are...very sorely needed, amongst the murdergame'd.]

...I don't know. I-I don't even want to think about it...!

[telecosmetic]

I"m sorry! I didn't want to upset you! It's just...I don't know what happened to everyone else! I don't even know if Zack is safe!
