[Fic] "Trollstuck," part 1 -- Homestuck

[edenfalling]

So, the 4/13/12 Homestuck update: was that awesome or was that awesome??? I freely admit I am not great at weird puzzle shit, so it took me a long time to figure out the last key to the door, but I did eventually get there!

Anyway. I have decided, partly because outside pressure is a useful source of motivation in some specific cases, and partly because while I know more or less where I want this story to end, I have no attachment to any specific method of reaching that ending (so long as I hit a few particular scenes en route), that I am going to write explodingfrogs's prompt fic as a sort of collaborative audience participation thing.

The premise is that the four beta!kids are and always were trolls on Alternia, and Sgrub/Sburb does not exist. In other words, you know that genre of humanstuck fics? This is the opposite. This is

Trollstuck, part 1

==>Be Jade Harley

You can't do that! For one thing, you're on Alternia and Earth does not exist in this universe. For another, Sgrub does not exist and therefore Earth may never be created, even in another universe. Which does raise the interesting question of how you're reading these words, but let's move on before this story becomes hopelessly entangled in meta.

====>Be Troll Jade Harley

You are JARLIA AGAION, and you have just woken from a late aftermidnight nap. You take a lot of naps, partly because your lusus tends to be awake during the day so your sleep schedule is a little erratic, but mostly because when you are asleep, you see the future. You think this is a pretty neat psychic talent -- maybe not as flashy as some people's gifts, but nothing to be sneezed at! Particularly when you also have the brains to put the random snatches you see together into a coherent picture, and the technology and social skills to do something about it.

====>Define "do something about it"

Either get ready for what's coming, or figure out how to change it. Duh!

Right now, you desperately need to change the future. If you don't, your friend Aradia is going to die!

====>Jarlia: Change the future

GG: aradia!
GG: please be home!
GG: i have something very important to tell you!
GG: like really really really important!
GG: oh for pitys sake answer me aradia
GG: this is a question of life and death!
GG: your death!
GG: death death death death death death
GG: come on you know that word is like catnip for you
GG: DEATH!!!!!!
GG: with big pointy teeth!
GG: or actually with vriska brainwashing sollux and big fiery explosions but anyway
GG: death!
GG: ......
GG: ............
GG: youre not home are you
GG: shit

It looks like Aradia is not in her hive and has her laptop in her sylladex so she can't hear the chime of incoming messages.

Phooey. You'll have to do this indirectly. Doing things indirectly is so much more complicated, and such a pain since most of your friends are kind of, well, jerks. But! You will persevere.

Hmm. Who's the best person to enlist for help?

So there's that. Now I am going to finish editing my remix and then catch the bus out to the grocery store.
