09/17/09- "==>” (/homestuck/652) to 09/24/09 - "WV: Clear out all the cans inside the purple machine.” (/homestuck/681)"
Select this thingy to read my commentary
John has woken up. He’s on a structure rose had built above the roof of his house. Despite there being imps everywhere. I guess they really are neutral but annoying. GardenGnostic [GG] is chatting with John. She slips that John should follow his grandmother's advice. John points out that he hasn't mentioned his grandmother to her yet. He knows something is up with her as Dave and Rose mentions she had “powers” but John never believed it. She wants to tell him something about the meteor that fell near her house but isn’t able to.
She tells John he needs to wake up, ending the chat. Notability Pesterchum records the end time of the chat as ??:??.
At this point John becomes aware there is something much bigger than imps up there with him. 2 things. The Crude Ogres are here and John has no choice but to face them..
But first. Back to Dave. Taking his brother's instruction, he grabs Cal, and arms his sword. Now he ascends to the roof of his building in a completely awesome animated sequence. This is one of the cooler sequences in the entire series. Upon opening the door to the roof the sky red with fire and meteors are destroying the entire city around him. As he's distracted by the sight, Cal is again moved. On the roof Dave prepared to fight-
We get psyched out.
We are now a girl in a greenhouse with glasses. We haven't seen this character before-
No psyched again!
We are with the wayward vagabond (now called WV). He is still many years in the future (but not too many). He discovers the ruins of some facility with a lot of SBURB symbology in it. From here he is able to command John as an audience member. He’s also discovered a cache of cans, books, plants, and other stuff. He is very hungry.
Unlike other characters so far WV can just pick stuff up without any kind of modus. His skin is a black carapace, an exoskeleton. But he is pretty weak and not able to open cans with force. He also has some sort of barcode on his wrist which he says gives him bad memories.
Till tomorrow, keep ~~eating~~ riding the pumpkin tide.
