====>Get ready to visit Kanaya
Nah. Maryam fights zombies for fun and profit. She's not going to flip out over a bit of fresh meat on your breath. Even if she does, so what? That's the price of your cooperation.
You wonder what a shirt designed to suit Terezi's tastes will look like. Besides red, of course. That goes without saying. Maybe a design of dragon wings? She says she's started having weird dreams about being all curled up and blind, like in an egg -- she thinks this means her lusus might finally be waking up, maybe even getting ready to hatch.
Speaking of waking up, Terezi ought to be done hauling her lazy, pointy butt out of her recuperacoon by now. You wonder if she's online.

Who should be the POV character for chapter 5? Executive decision here: we are jumping back ahead in time to the hour in which chapter 1 occurred, hopefully to pick up the Jarlia-fights-the-future plot thread. As you may or may not recall, ch. 1 ended with Jarlia planning to troll Alonde in hopes of getting her to intervene with Jothan who might then intervene with Vriska, while Karkat was going to troll Terezi to get her to persuade Davven to go save Aradia in case Vriska's murder attempt couldn't be derailed. At around the same time in ch. 3, Aradia removed the battery from her laptop to power her lamp, found her way out of an underground maze, and headed home to sort through a lot of digital images she wanted to send to Alonde.
Would you like to be Karkat? Terezi? Jothan? Vriska? Jarlia, Alonde, or Aradia again? Someone completely different? (Kanaya, perhaps? Tavros? ...Gamzee?)
Please feel free to present reasons for your choice! That will help determine what happens in the first scene.

Who should be the POV character for chapter 5? Executive decision here: we are jumping back ahead in time to the hour in which chapter 1 occurred, hopefully to pick up the Jarlia-fights-the-future plot thread. As you may or may not recall, ch. 1 ended with Jarlia planning to troll Alonde in hopes of getting her to intervene with Jothan who might then intervene with Vriska, while Karkat was going to troll Terezi to get her to persuade Davven to go save Aradia in case Vriska's murder attempt couldn't be derailed. At around the same time in ch. 3, Aradia removed the battery from her laptop to power her lamp, found her way out of an underground maze, and headed home to sort through a lot of digital images she wanted to send to Alonde.
Would you like to be Karkat? Terezi? Jothan? Vriska? Jarlia, Alonde, or Aradia again? Someone completely different? (Kanaya, perhaps? Tavros? ...Gamzee?)
Please feel free to present reasons for your choice! That will help determine what happens in the first scene.
