Today I’m reading.
11/22/09- "You are now…” (/homestuck/892) to 11/24/09 - “John: Jump down.” (/homestuck/910)”
Select this thingy to read my commentary
We are the Peregrine Mendicant (PM). They are years in the future. A giant meteor destroyed the area where John’s home had been. John, and his house, had teleported away at the last second. But Maple Valley WA. where John lived, is now a large crater. From that crater a large growing tree had grown bearing a metal fruit. PM had wandered into the fruit and activated it. This caused the fruit to rocket westward through the sky. This is where we are now. One of the mailboxes the PM had been casting around contains a very damaged letter. It’s addressed somewhere very close to John’s house named Dr. David Brinner.
This I had to look into a bit. It is apparently a character Andrew had come up with through some joking around on the forums. There is planted rumours that it is a whole massive webcomic that existed before MSPA Adventures. We’ll only see them as “FedoraFreak” in the “Serious Business” app that John’s father uses. Also they have no real significance on the story. The letter but, as well as a postal workers cap that was also in the mailbox for some reason. This gives the PM an overwhelming sense of duty in the style of the 1997 movie the postman. The plot being that Kevin Costner’s character is living in post apocalyptic America. He gets the same sense of duty to mail a letter. I didn’t hate that one but, wow, what a stupid plot. Also in the PM’s case the letter was just at the location it’s addressed to. That place is now some dust in a crater.
PM attempts to use the terminal, He is able to see Jade holding her rifle. They think they know her for some reason. Odd that both PM and WV seem to have some knowledge of computers. When they use the terminal to ask Jade (this puts a voice in her head) Jade seems to acknowledge them but with panic. The terminal then explodes. Back to Rose. She is still in a giant lab, she has gotten a green box that gives her mobile power and internet access. Very convenient. The countdown on the wall is at 1:33. She doesn’t seem too concerned. The audience points out the pink tea set we noticed earlier. It seems to be an entire bedroom for a little girl. It has wizard plushies and cat plushies. As Rose takes the pink scarf a black 4 eyed kitten pops out of the teapot. It’s an adorable abomination. John is up on his roof. He’s just defeated the 2 massive Crude Ogres, with a lot of help. One of the Shale loot items has embedded itself in the roof above John’s Dad room. John has never been there. He is apprehensive about taking the loot as it would mean seeing inside for the first time. John hops into the hole.
Till tomorrow explore your parents bedrooms with reckless abandon. Also, keep riding the pumpkin tide.
