PROLOGUE

[Karkat Vantas]

"CALIBORN YOU ARE A DOUCHE AMONG DOUCHES AND I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU DO. LIKE, LEGIT, YOU COULD JUST BRUSH YOUR TEETH OR SOMETHING AND I WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR EXISTENCE." Karkat shouted back, despite simply walking on past the Cherub and proceeding through the hallway. The note told him to make his way over to the Assembly Hall, so... he assumed that it would be wise to do just that, rather than be assailed by someone who had an apparent tendency to use bear puns. That was one of the most horrifying things Karkat could imagine. Giving Caliborn no thought besides "what a douchebag", Karkat soon realized that he had no idea where the Assembly Hall was. He assumed that if he wandered around enough, he would eventually get there.

He was, in fact, correct. He soon stood in front of a door, nearby which was writing labeling it the Assembly Hall. He had no idea what to expect upon entering the room. He didn't even know if he could actually expect an Assembly Hall, since nothing about that fucking place made any sense to him. Karkat scowled, staring at the door for a moment before shoving it open. Once he entered, he found himself face to face with some.. unfamiliar people. One of which was a hoofbeast, something Equius would no doubt be intrigued by {though, Equius was a raving douchebag, so Karkat didn't give him much thought at all}, a few human-looking people and... well, that was it. Thankfully, Caliborn hadn't gotten there yet so he wouldn't have to deal with more douchebaggery, at least not for a while.

"OKAY, WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN GOING ON?" Karkat asked, as he stepped further into the room. "SERIOUSLY, THE FIRST THING I EVEN DO AT THIS FUCKING SCHOOL IS PASS OUT AND GET TAKEN TO THE LAND OF MYSTERIOUS FUCKERY. I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS BULLSHIT."

[Dave Strider]

"No one signed up to be subjected to the merry verbal ministrations of your shouty ass either," came a voice quite familiar to the irate troll. Guided by that almost comforting yelling, at first second-guessing himself but soon deciding he missed the fucker too much to not want to investigate, Dave had quickened his search for the Assembly Hall. He now stood in one of its doorways, the hem of his cape swaying about his feet.

He had spared only the most cursory glance around the room when he entered, briefly examining each of its other occupants. His eyes lingered on the rather brightly maned unicorn longest, before settling upon the one friendly face in the hall. "Been a while, Karkat."

The meteor bros were reunited after their first meeting in this world, months ago. Fuck yeah.

[Roxy Lalonde]

Roxy had apparently awoken in a room dedicated to work and study. Thankfully for the young girl, the Assembly Hall wasn't too far away from her current position. However, it didn't come with some bumps and bruises. Having a black out after staying off the sauce was seriously not a fun experience. One that wasn't helped any by all the shouting. At one moment, she'd caught sight of a stupid little green figure, but she was so not in the mood to deal with that kind of bullshit.

The Rogue of Void rubbed her temples with a groan to try and dispel the lingering headache as she entered the Assembly Hall. She had attempted to appraise the other poor shmucks who also seemed to have been lured to what was obviously a trap from the Batterwitch. Unfortunately for poor Roxy, one of the first things she caught a glimpse of was the radiant pony. In the next moment, Roxy had backed up furiously with a yelp of shock; right into some sort of chair, falling backwards with a crash.

"somebody PLS turn off the sun!!!!!" Roxy could apologize for her transgressions later; right now she felt like she'd woken in a pile of empty wine glasses and every bit of light hurt her brain. Her legs pedaled lamely in the air as she laid on her back, covering her eyes with a groan.

[Caliborn]

Good. Excellent. Everyone was in their positions within the Assembly Room: all of the morons and weirdos in this shitty little shoe box were all plopped down in the assembly hall...gooooooooood...

Not that it really mattered to Caliborn anyway. But maybe if everyone did what they were supposed to fucking do, things would go faster. Taking a quick peak over the side of the entrance, he did a quick headcount of who was about. Having a good bit of autonomy beforehand, he was able to take stock of these things while everyone else was out being useless. Let's see...one, two, three, disgusting horse, five, six...oh, that Roxy whore was speaking up with something vapid...

"IT'S NOT THE SUN YOU STUPID BITCH. BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE. WE ARE IN SPACE. WHICH. WHILE BEING THE PLACE THE SUN IS KEPT. IS FURTHER AWAY FROM IT. IN A TRADITIONAL SENSE. THEN YOUR SHITTY EARTH PLANET."

Anyway. As he continued on with his tally, Caliborn noticed just about everyone was here. The metallic homeless guy, the radiating sparklehorse, the various useless dumb human shits, etc etc...but there was one moron missing...Caliborn turned around from his place in the Annex hall to investigate...

...only to see that dumb fucking visage of that blue imbecile wandering around the hall behind him. He took a moment to turn completely to him before staring.

Staring.

Staring.

And then getting bored of that and marching up to him in a huff.

"WHAT ARE YOU EVEN. DOING RIGHT NOW. I WOULD THROW MORE TERTIARY INSULTS AT YOU. BUT WE DON'T HAVE FUCKING TIME FOR THAT. SO INSTEAD. I WILL COMMIT VIOLENCE UPON YOU. YOU NEBULOUS SHITLORD."

In a sudden burst of moment, Caliborn's green, clawed hand launched forth to attempt to grab John Egbert by the back of his collar, and then violently and more than likely painfully drag him to the Assembly Hall to be deposited, complete with a vicious throw of some sort, likely aimed at the person that Caliborn disliked the most, the identity of which would have been "everyone".

Seriously, fuck everyone here.

[John Egbert]

Well, it looked like just about everyone was as confused as he was. The woman he had asked didn't seem to have any idea where they were all supposed to be headed, either, which was kind of disappointing, but it was somehow what he had expected. This entire situation was just....it was stupid. Really, really stupid. And it made even less sense than Dave when he was actively trying not to make sense, which was a feat in and of itself.

"Oh, well, yeah, I guess that's a good idea!" Honestly, following the others, some of who seemed like they knew whare they were going did seem like a good enough plan, and after a moment he started to do just that, only to stop dead, staring blankly as someone spoke up -- rather loudly, too.

Oh. "Well, I guess it's over there, then!"

He stalled for a moment, staring back down at the letter in his hands, reading it over again dubiously, as if he had missed something or, or, or maybe something new would just suddenly jump out at him. He started to blankly wander forward in the general direction of the Assembly Hall, only to be yanked from his thoughts -- and, shortly afterward, his feet -- by a very unpleasant sound.

"What the-- H-Hey!" He was dragged uncerimoniously along, flailing about as he tried to get free, but only serving to get his godhood wrapped around his head and making him even more useless than he already was, which served to make him a rather easy target to be flung across the room. The landing was painful, and accompanied by a clearly audible "DOOF" from John, and he just kind of laid there, sprawled over an empty chair -- coincidentally the one makred for him.

"Well I guess....I'm here now...."
