Today I’m reading.
09/24/09- "WV: Search room for can opener.” (/homestuck/682) to 09/29/09 - "WV: Welcome the rest into the city.” (/homestuck/711)"
Select this thingy to read my commentary
We are with our friend from the distant but not too distant future the Wayward Vagabond (WV). WV is hungry. He's surrounded by food but it's all in cans and he has no way to open them. He reveals he has a knife made from a mailbox flag.
He decides to just build a small town with the cans and become the mayor. CAN TOWN is actually one of the parts of the fandom I took part in. The tradition takes place at meetings, usually conventions. Homestucks would steal an area of floor and all bring cans. Naturally we’d build a town with them. Anyone cosplaying WV was mayor. The best part is we'd gather all the cans and donate them at the end. I thought that was a lovely way to give back.
Anyway, WV is now the Mayor of Can town. Mayors mustn't be kings as WV has a severe hatred of them. West of Can Town, the corner of the room we didn't notice, is some stuff. A light bug in amber, a glowing green rock or Uranium, a jug of motor oil, and some chalk. WV seems to confuse the concept of picking things up and eating them. He eats the Uranium, and some chalk, but seems OK. He gives the bug friend a home in Can Town and uses the chalk to draw some roads.
WV creates a large chess board pattern west of Can Town using white chalk and the oil as paint. He also gives himself a handsome Mayoral Sash using a label from a Mayo can (adding the R with chalk). He also draws a sky onto the walls with some interesting features
- there is a yellow luminous planet with a single moon
- a planet which is blue with a huge volcano erupting from it
- a planet which appears to be a cross between a gear and a record
- a planet which is brightly coloured blue, pink with clouds of yellow and blue around it
- a planet which is black a dripping oil blot, it has dirty clouds
- on the other wall is a purple planet surrounded in an impenetrable darkness. This one also has a moon.
These places are pretty specifically detailed. At Log 28 (page 424) when Nannaquin Sprite was lore dumping. We saw a yellow kingdom of light and purple kingdom of darkness. Possibly related? These drawings are important.
Turning back to the monitors he can see John at a point just before he went to sleep. In an attempt to turn on the remaining three monitors he tries the tab key. This unlocked another panel filled with Tab Energy drinks. Not sure these are still around. I find energy drinks pretty gross. But WV should be OK with it, he did just eat raw uranium. Also this pun was terrible.
With this new discovery Can Town prospers!
Till tomorrow, consume caffeine, and keep riding the pumpkin tide.
