Hey, has anyone here tried something called a milkshake before?

I just had one and it's really good!

A friend of mine made it for me. We even added some sea salt ice cream from my bamboo grove. It tasted delicious!

Is there anyway for someone who's stuck inside resting help with restoring the story. I want to do something, at least.

[If moving didn't hurt so much he'd probably go outside and help.]

This is Ren Amamiya and I'm writing out a warning for everyone.

It seems for this story, those who have to play the role of Hyde are either forced to act evil against their will, or in my case, get possessed by my shadow. I didn't get any warning and didn't realize what happened until the scene was over and I got control of my body back.

I don't know if there's anything that can be done to prepare for it, but it seemed better to warn all of you in advance for the other acts coming ahead.

I'm considering the idea of offering Kung Fu lessons in the Index. I've studied Kung Fu extensively for many years, and I've helped teach Kung Fu to students back home. So I'd like to see how many people might be interested in learning.

I should probably mention, though, the style of Kung Fu that I specialize in isn't about physical power or raw strength. It focuses on defense, evasion, precision, and redirecting your opponents' strength to use against them. If anyone is interested in learning, let me know and we can try to arrange something.

IT'S RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT AN EMBARRASSINGLY HIGH NUMBER OF PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THIS SAD EXCUSE OF A WIGGLER TALE SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING WITH A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF CIVILIZED LIVING.
WHETHER IT BE LAYING PROSTRATE ACROSS THESE PAGES WITH DESPERATE WORDS PLEADING FOR GUIDANCE OR BECAUSE A SCENE DICTATES IT TO BE SO IN ORDER TO FIX WHATEVER STORY WE'RE STUCK FIXING, THE LACK OF BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON THIS AREA IS HONESTLY PRETTY ASTOUNDING, GIVEN THAT THE ENTIRE REASON FOR OUR BEING HERE IS TO FIX *STORIES*.
YOU KNOW, THE THINGS YOU READ AND HAVE PREDICTABLE PLOT LINES AND END IN EITHER DEATH, MUTILATION, OR POSSIBLY THE FULFILLMENT OF ONE'S HOPES AND DREAMS IN ORDER TO FULFILL A READER'S OWN LACK OF FULFILLMENT IN THEIR OWN SAD EXISTENCE?
I'M TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT ROMANCE.
ROMANCE IS *FUNDAMENTAL* TO THESE KINDS OF STORIES, AND YET SO MANY OF YOU IDIOTS CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP THE BASIC CONCEPT OF ASKING SOMEONE OUT ON A DATE OR EVEN SORTING OUT YOUR OWN FEELINGS ON THE MATTER.
IT'S PRETTY FUCKING EMBARRASSING AND IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW THE FUCK YOUR SPECIES HAS EVEN EVOLVED PAST THE PRIMORDIAL SLIME STAGE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR.
BUT FEAR NOT, YOU SORRY, UNCULTURED HERD OF BEEFGRUBS!
BECAUSE DESPITE YOUR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I HAPPEN TO BE A GODDAMN *EXPERT* ON ROMANCE.
I'VE READ SO MANY TEXTS AND STUDIED SO MANY FILMS ON ROMANCE THAT I COULD DESCRIBE TO YOU THE SUBTLE NUANCES ONE MIGHT EXPERIENCE AND HOW THEY HELP TO ENRICH ANY ASPECT OF ONE'S ROMANTIC PURSUITS, FROM QUADRANT VACILLATION TO THE BALANCE BETWEEN HATRED AND KISMESISSITUDE.
"BUT WAIT," I HEAR YOU PRACTICALLY WHINING THROUGH THE PAGES OF YOUR JOURNAL, "HOW COME I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THESE WORDS BEFORE??"
WELL THAT IS BECAUSE I'M TEACHING YOU ALL TROLL ROMANCE.
AND WHY AM I TEACHING YOU ALL ABOUT TROLL ROMANCE?
BECAUSE HUMAN ROMANCE IS DUMB AND SEVERELY LACKING IN ANY SORT OF SUBSTANCE OR COMPLEXITY.
IT'LL BE A CRASH COURSE IN CULTURAL EXCHANGE, SURE, BUT GIVEN HOW INADEQUATE HUMANS ARE WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEX ROMANTIC ENDEAVOURS AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL A MOIRAIL FROM AN AUSPISTICE EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING THE PROPER TERMS FOR IT, THIS IS THE KIND OF ROMANCE I'M GOING TO TEACH.
AND HONESTLY, IF EVERY SINGLE STORY WE ENCOUNTER DEALS WITH ROMANCE OF SOME KIND, THIS INFORMATION IS GONNA BE VITAL FOR FIXING THEM SOONER AND GETTING THE FUCK BACK HOME FASTER!
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE MOST IMPORTANT SCHOOLFEEDING OF YOUR LIVES, ALL FREE OF CHARGE!
OF COURSE, ANY PRAISE YOU WISH TO HURL MY WAY IS ACCEPTABLE AND EVEN ENCOURAGED.
I'M PRACTICALLY WAITING ON YOU PRONG AND FUCKING NUB OVER HERE, A LITTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WOULD BE NICE.
OKAY, ENOUGH PREFACE, ON TO THE ACTUAL LESSON!


[And then Karkat draws the following image:]



YOU SEE THIS?
COPY IT DOWN. MEMORIZE IT. LIVE AND BREATHE IT.
BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BASIS OF ALL I'M ABOUT TO TEACH YOU ALL.
SERIOUSLY, FIND A GODDAMN PEN AND START TAKING NOTES.


[And unless anyone stops to ask questions, Karkat is going to go into a long-winded, swear-ridden description of troll romance for all to see.]

When I first arrived here, I had horns on my head. A few days after I grew some kind of ears and a fluffy tail. I assumed they'd disappear after a while like my "full transformation" but they didn't. I guess they're a permanent change.
Has anyone had something like this happen to them?

According to the story I'm from I should look like a beast full time but instead I change into one with a trigger. I guess it's convenient if I need some extra strength.

Is there a ramen place around here? I don't have a friend's cookbook to make it myself.

...actually, do they have cookbooks around here?

I know a lot of people have been busy right now, but I was wondering if anyone had time to answer a few questions.

Specifically... does anyone know much about going on a date? And what to do when on a date? How is it different from just spending time with friends?


[A little later, two specific individuals will get notifications to their journals.]

Hey.

I just wanted to let you both know that I think Sora's gone back home.

Sender: Davy Jones | Eizen

Recipient: Everyone. Unfortunately.

[Rest in pieces, Index, because Eizen has been drinking with Rokurou. His handwriting is messy but legible and oh boy are the drawings included on this post surprisingly good for a drunken scribble.]

So Rokurou told me that there are kids here. Kids who may not know certain things. I may be a pirate but I’m also a big brother and a scholar and I know how you humans are.

You fuck like rabbits. And you’re bad at it. [In Rokurou’s handwriting:] speak for yourself I know the library here doesn’t have anything on romance or sex I’ve looked so that means you unfortunately have to deal with me. I’ve been drinking a lot.

[Little drawings in Rokurou’s hand of beer mugs. Eizen just wants to let everyone know why this is happening. Enough awareness to do that but not enough to stop this trainwreck.]

I can’t speak for how it works between two women but--

[What follows is a very drunken ramble covering the basics that Eizen can cover. With rough sketches to illustrate. Your journals may protest and censor things.

And commentary from Rokurou, though at one point there is a color war as Rokurou tries to make comments when Eizen starts talking about less tame things that end with Eizen writing "I am a thousand years old I think I know more shut up you drunk". Rokurou’s comment is just "haha old". And also a dick.

And he does attempt to offer ideas for how it works between two women but it’s not like Eizen would ever have a chance to find out how. Again, he crosses out anything Rokurou tries to say here because not happening.]


Any questions? Don’t ask Rokurou though. [And another scribble war on the journals. They are sitting right next to each other.]

[In the morning you will find a message at the top of the start of the previous entry from Eizen. In big, bold letters:]

FORGET YOU EVER READ THIS

IF YOU SEE ROKUROU KILL HIM

~HELLO PEOPLE OF THE INDEX~

This is Kokichi Oma, one of the many, many people who hopped on board and found themselves in fairy tale land.

I could say more stuff about myself, but that's kind of boring. So how about we play a little game instead?

First, I'll list three things about myself...
  • I'm the leader of an underground organization back home.
  • I go to a high school for kids who have "ultimate" talents. As in they're the best in that field.
  • I'm a huge fan of bug watching.

    Now you guys get to figure out which one is the lie! Doesn't that sound like fun?

    And feel free to join in the fun by making up your own two truths and one lie. This way, we get to know each other better before the next great adventure! Or whatever that Storyteller guy wants us to do.
