ROSE: My brand missed you too, John. JOHN: your brand has good taste in friends, and kicks ass. TEREZI: (N333RDS) JOHN: hey, how do you think kanaya and karkat are doing? ROSE: They're probably getting a stern earful of roiling monster patois right about now. JOHN: do you think they'll be successful? ROSE: ... ROSE: At what? JOHN: at... JOHN: talking to a monster? JOHN: i don't know. ROSE: I think Karkat will successfully fail to understand the monster, and possibly also successfully shout at the monster. ROSE: Kanaya I think will probably successfully do something sensible in response to whatever the monster demands. JOHN: so... JOHN: you think they're going to pull it off then? ROSE: I'm still not sure what "it" is. ROSE: But yes. JOHN: well, the idea was to release the frog i think. ROSE: You think so? JOHN: that's what vriska said. ROSE: Vriska says a lot of things. ROSE: That's the basic idea, yes. ROSE: But monsters can be complicated. ROSE: Regardless, I think the right person was summoned to handle it. JOHN: you really trust kanaya, don't you? ROSE: Sure. JOHN: not to change the subject too hard, into something maybe you don't want to talk about because of your brand... JOHN: but i think you make a nice couple. ROSE: You do? JOHN: yes, i thought so last time i was hanging out with you both, in the screwed up time line. JOHN: but didn't say anything then. JOHN: i think it's still true! JOHN: i'm glad it didn't change when i retconned some things. ROSE: I am too. JOHN: maybe that means it's a strong relationship? JOHN: if it can survive... god. JOHN: whatever the hell happened. JOHN: a hard three year reboot, and then the sudden presence of vriska?? ROSE: When you put it that way, ROSE: It really does sound like you were trying to fuck us up. JOHN: haha.
