SON: Approach the one that smells like your MOM!

SON: Approach the one that smells like a cat
No! That is a terrible idea! You are a MOUSE - whatever that means - and CATS eat MICE! Your ingrained instincts tell you not to go that way.

SON: Investigate!
Wow, it feels like you haven’t been out of your POKéBALL in well over a year! But of course that’s ridiculous, as you are still less than a day old. But your SENSE OF SMELL is already top notch, and you sniff a number of suspicious stenches in the nearby area! But which one should you investigate first?

JOHN: Be the brave one

VRISKA: Transform!
Ah, yes! You can feel the power of the MYSTERIOUS VIAL overtake you! You feel a sort of PRIMEVAL CHANGE happening right in your gut! Surely you are now about to become more powerful, powerful enough to rule the hole galaxy! Hey, wait a sec-
OK, that’s not almighty power, that’s just nausea. Maybe you should refrain from drinking things from mysterious green vials from now on.

MYSTERIOUS EYES: Very well. Carry on
You continue to spy on KARKAT, using your HEIGHTENED FELINE HEARING to aid you in your on-going surveillance mission.
LOOK WE HAVE BIGGER PLANS THAN YOU. PLANS SO BIG YOUR MEASLY HUMAN THINKPAN CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND THEM WITHOUT SHITTING ITSELF.
oh yeah? then tell me! i bet that humans are not as dumb as you think we are.
I COULD TELL YOU BUT THEN I’D HAVE TO KILL YOU.

You do so. You’re aware that both DAVE and JADE are new trainers, and that they might be a bit intimidated by the giant prehistoric flying monster set against them. But you? You’ve been in worse scrapes before.
We need to start by evening the odds to three to one. Olgogoth, use absorb and take out the Slowpoke. Jade and Dave you two work on the Diglet. uh, right! yeah ok...

No way. You are not asking the two of them anything. Especially not when they’re acting like two lovebirds. Just listen to them!

KARKAT: Give your ITEMS to JOHN
That is actually a very good idea! That way, if they are illegal, he’ll be the one to get the blame for it! You are undeniably brilliant, which is why you should be the leader of your friends, and not just stuck in the first gym like an imbecile! …Unfortunately, you do not actually know how to transfer items. You don’t even know how to get them out of the PC, to be honest. This...

TEREZI: Throw the phone into the lava!
You do so. You now no longer have bearing on the plot, because you are stuck here watching this volcano, waiting for something to happen, and you have just thrown away your last source of communication. We have it on good authority that nothing will happen here for a while. You are about to get very bored. Way to go.

KARKAT: Check what CRABDAD bought you
Just a bunch of random shit, as usual. You’re not even sure what in this list is new, to be honest. You don’t ever use anything he buys you because you’re scared it might be illegal or something. Speaking of illegality, you’re a little put off by what SOLLUX mentioned about TEREZI knowing what you’re up to. What was up with that?

KARKAT: Respond to CRABDAD first
Might as well. He tends to get antsy if you don’t respond for a while. You’re not really sure when he learned how to work a computer, but you suppose that with no you around to take care of, he’s figured it out somehow. As you understand it, lusii get bored without trolls to take care of. It’s convenient for keeping in touch with him, at least, even if he tends to make a...

You would rather not be KARKAT, because KARKAT is stuck watching as VRISKA forces her new human pet to cosplay her, which is a sight that nobody should be forced to endure.
