Two years down, even if I'm a few days off. It was about this time I came here. If I'm lucky, I'll never leave.

[Taking in a breath, it feels a little awkward to say, but it's necessary.]

Thank you, to whoever I've talked with here.

Half a year to a sweep, I think! [ Aradia he doesn't care about that. ]

[shadowdive]

Yeah? Huh, a whole sweep.. makes it sound longer. [Yes he does.]

[timelymaid]

I'm almost at the point where I don't have to do mental math every time someone mentions years, but...

[shadowdive]

Years are a more common count of age, but I've been around trolls long enough to automatically know how long a sweep is now.

voice; ALWAYS WAS FORGOT THIS

[timelymaid]

How long have you known us? Two years?

voice; 1/2

[shadowdive]

[He's quiet, trying to think.]

voice; earliest conversations i could find were like, sept 2011

[shadowdive]

I want to say well over a year now is when I met Karkat. He's the first who I really spoke with the most.

voice; i love that you checked

[timelymaid]

He's pretty much the most talkative, so I'm not surprised!

voice; IT GOES BACK A LONG WAYS OK ffffffff

[shadowdive]

Heh. First time we actually met face to face, he was wrestling with a vending machine because it ate his quarters.

voice; <3<3<3

[timelymaid]

[ ...Yep, that's their leader all right. ]

How did that go for him?

voice;

[shadowdive]

I just bought him one, it was hilariously sad to see him trying to stick his arm up the chute.

voice;

[timelymaid]

That was nice of you, though. What was it he was trying to get out of the machine?

voice;

[shadowdive]

Soda. There's one that gets finicky on the roof of Goldenrod, I'm pretty sure it's broke more often than it isn't.

voice;

[timelymaid]

Maybe they should fix it, then!

voice;

[shadowdive]

They might have by now, that was still at least a year ago.

voice;

[timelymaid]

You'll have to check next time you're there!

voice;

[shadowdive]

Yeah, maybe after the last of my badges are collected.

voice;

[timelymaid]

How many do you have to go?

voice;

[shadowdive]

Four left in Kanto, then I'll have them all.

voice;

[timelymaid]

Oh, wow! That's really far along. Did you start as soon as you got here?

voice;

[shadowdive]

Heh.. no, not really. I didn't see a point to it for a long time.

voice;

[timelymaid]

I suppose almost everyone I know was collecting when I got here, so it just seems...practical?

voice;

[shadowdive]

I had some personal things to work through first; when I came here, I tried to do what I did back in my world. Obviously, since we're all purely human here, nothing happened, and I had to come to terms with it.

voice;

[timelymaid]

"Tried to do what you did"?
