John is still exploring the Land of Wind and Shade (LOWAS). He’s aware of this because his grandmother resurrected as a game sprite and told him. Johns is now attempting to contact Rose but not having much luck. He is able to chat with Jade though. Jade already knows that John is in LOWAS. Jade explains to John that she now has the game and needs to contact Dave to get started. John mentions it doesn’t make any sense that she’d get Daves copy of the game. Especially since she didn’t know what SBURB was last time they talked. Her response is that she was asleep at the time. She also tells John he needs to get his server a copy of the game so she can get into it. This means John’s priority is to now walk over to the area directly below his house. Then he’ll need to locate his dads car, and get the package. Jade swears she isn’t psychic. We know this is technically true now. She’s been getting visions from the clouds of Skaia.

John now also gets pestered by trolls, but we can’t see who. Dave is also trying to contact Rose. This is a bit odd as he should be able to just see her on his screen. He threatens to prod her with a wizard statue if she doesn’t respond soon. But Jade is also chatting with him. Jade explains that she’s going to be his server host. Dave points out it is a bit stressful to be simultaneously playing the game as both a client and the host player. Jade mentions It’ll be easy and ribbs Dave a bit about being so dramatic in getting the game. She’s well aware he was being utterly beaten by a puppet for like an hour. She knows she needs to move though. Not only has she seen “the big meteor” in her dreams but she even has a screen shot from her dream recorder. That technology would be terrifying. I think if we saw our own dream in the waking world we’d all just have a mass identity crisis. Fortunately, it seems Jade’s used to this and happy to share her dreams with others. Dave mentions Rose is finally answering. But we switch to John and a troll. carcinoGeneticist [CG] and other trolls used to pester John constantly. Eventually he figured changing his handle would get rid of them and it seemed to work. Until now that is. CG explains that the trolls just didn’t care enough about John to contact him sooner. Also that his ploy never worked at all. GC as was mentioned to Rose before mentioning they are actually friends now. Though that doesn’t make them any less of an asshole. But they are in an awkward situation of seeing John’s timeline in reverse. Now he keeps having to explain this over and over. IT gets more and more difficult as their own past selves were being total jerks. Also apparently the trolls are also in the game but in a different game session. They need to let Jade know something urgently but she is ignoring them because they are assholes. So they are now bugging her friends to ask her to talk to them. John says he’ll consider it but proceeds on his mission to find his dads car.

Meanwhile years in the future The wayward vagabond has brokered a peace. Now he, the Peregrine Mendicant and the Aimless Renegade are sitting together. They’re eating canned preserves and drinking Tab. They may even be friends now.

Jade is learning the game the hard way. Much like the others she is deploying the crafting stations in terrible locations. We can see there’s a few extra options for deployment items. Also Dave’s template card is a red egg. We also see a card with 6 buttons and a CD. Dave is trying to chat with Rose who has kind of put him on hold. Dave notices Jade trying to deploy the Cruxtruder in his small cluttered bedroom. At least she has time to learn. Though she also immediately removes Dave’s bed. Rose now responds to Dave pointing out the irony given what Dave had done to her bed. She also finds it funny the gamer guy only managed to get into the game minutes before Rose’s imminent doom. While Jade, who doesn’t play video games, got in ahead of schedule. Rose mentioned she was busy chatting with the troll, also checking on John. It seems while John is on the surface of LOWAS she can’t see him from the game. Rose doesn’t mention where she is currently but she does mention that she really likes it there.

Jade continues to re-configure Dave’s room. She’s got the Cruxtrider and room, the lathe in the living room, and she put the alchemizer on the roof on top of an AC unit. This will be a huge pain for Dave. Did they not have Minecraft? You gotta keep your crafting stations near each other! Jade wants to organize more of Dave’s stuff but notes the puppets are actually Dave’s Brothers. She finds him intimating. Though much like Rose did she figures she can clean the bathroom. Then proceeds to rip out the toilet. We are now shown where Rose was sent. The Land of Light and Rain (LOLAR). This planet is very bright with pinks, yellows and blue pastel. It’s a kind of vapor-wave but I don’t think the term is popular yet. It seems to be oceanic, Roses house is on an island and no longer on fire. It seems damn cool but probably annoyingly bright.
