So I'm pretty sure I LITERALLY [ metaphorically, in no way was Roxy unconscious ] passed out after prom and just sort of woke up today when Aradia and I were catchin' some water ballet in Cerulean like "whoa, I am awake and this is occurring", y'feel me? You ever been awake but not awake, sort of just existing through time then it's like whaaat it's been three weeks?

[ pause ] So, Di Stri up and ditched. [ muttering something about dumb anime-shade wearing blah-blahs ] And his riolu showed up, she's a sweetie but yelling "Roxy!" makes it sound like I'm yelling at myself...

[ noooo oooone caaaares god ]

Annnnnyway, I just... y'know, wanted to get all kinds of philosophical with y'all: I know people disappear sometimes, and sometimes they come back. But like, don't always remember being here? So. What happens to the versions of us that were here before but that don't come back? Do they go home, just live out shit as it was or...? Just disappear?

You can always rename her. When I was here before, I named a Poliwhirl Clouseau...I don't remember why I did that, so I renamed him. He doesn't seem to mind.

[But then again, Archimedes isn't that smart.]

As for that...I'm not really sure what happens. John says that I was here...man, probably three years ago coming up, but I don't remember that very well. I don't think that's always the case, though, some people never remember. When one of my friends finally got here, he claimed that I never left our world, but I've been here this whole time, it's like there's some weird dimensional thing going on where a bunch of different versions of the same person in the same world exist and whatever is bringing us here just picks and chooses what version to bring. Not to mention the differences in time points some of us have.

[...And she's not a science person so she's rubbing at her temples.]

Sorry. I'm not making a lot of sense. That's just been my experience with it.

I've been callin' her Roxylu, sometimes Lulu thus far. I don't want to... offend Dirk through time and space by renaming the poké he named after me, I guess?

[ "Not making a lot of sense" is Roxy's middle name. It's also Homestuck's subtitle, so uh. ]

Makes sense to me. A whole lotta sense, actually. It would explain a lot, if we were just different versions. I've apparently been here before, but can't remember a thing. Can't remember not remembering, either, like there's no gaps in my memory or something as if was just shoved back and grabbed again later.

Lulu's cute. I guess I'll have to think of what to call Tsubaki if her namesake ever arrives, it'd be confusing to call two people by the same name.

[KIDS AND NO-SENSE-MAKING FUN.]

What gets me is with how long some people have been here, nobody's been able to figure out even a hint about what's behind all this and what the purpose is. It seems strange, just taking people out of their worlds and dropping them into this place...it's not as though there's calamity here. Criminal activity, sure, but that happens everywhere.

But, if answers came easily it wouldn't be an adventure to figure them out. So all we can do is keep asking questions I guess.
