[Stepping out of the Chaos Gate is one grey-skinned alien kid. He's looking around curiously now, which is for the better; when he gets out of the glow of the Gate, well--]
...Argh!
[--Too late.]
[He fidgets out of reflex, accidentally dropping the heavy tome previously tucked under his arm. It falls to the cobblestone ground with a soft whump, but he doesn't seem to be very concerned; instead, instinct is telling him to get the hell out of there, because wherever he went, the sun hadn't gone down yet. ...But it only takes a second for him to realize that his skin isn't peeling, his hair isn't burning, his eyes haven't imploded upon themselves; he's alive. He's standing in the sun, and he's alive.]
[Welp.]
[Sollux huffs and collects himself, looking back down at the book next to him on the ground; and likewise, at the new outfit he'd somehow gained for himself. Where he had just been was a bizarre, alien place; the spinning ring, the aliens wandering all over the place. And before that, he had squared off with Douchefin McGee. Was this all Eridan's doing? Did he actually succeed for once, with his shitty excuse for magic? Unlikely. Sollux refused to believe it. There was no reason Eridan would want to send him somewhere else, they were in the middle of a duel. You're supposed to fight in a duel! Even if Eridan was a spineless, overgrown grub, Sollux could only assume he knew that much.]
[...Which was all fine and dandy, but it still didn't answer the question of what the fuck just happened. Sigh. Without bothering to pick a direction, Sollux picks up the grimoire and starts walking.]

[He knows this is probably a bad idea, but as mentioned, if there's one thing Sollux hates it's being in the dark. No ironic humor intended.]

[She takes a deep breath.]
So, Eridan wound up going completely insane. He blinded you, destroyed the Matriorb, then killed Kanaya and Feferi.
Then Gamzee flipped out and started killing people - Equius and Nepeta.
But Kanaya came back as a rainbow drinker, chainsawed Eridan in half, then kicked Gamzee's ass. Eventually, Gamzee flipped out again, but Karkat calmed him down.
Don't worry about Feferi. I talked to her in a dream bubble and she's fine.
Then Vriska had to try and be a hero, but it would've led Jack Noir to us. Terezi killed her to keep that from happening.
But yeah, the big thing...is that instead of destroying the Green Sun, things happened and it turns out it got created instead. You managed to get us the hell out of there with your psionics, but not without consequences. Meaning you went from being blind to literally half-dead.
...in the end, you and I had a choice. We could stay behind and buy everyone else time, make things okay between us, or try and go with the rest of them. Meaning Karkat, Gamzee, Terezi, Kanaya, and two of the human kids, Rose and Dave.
The last thing I remember was us giving everyone else a send-off, and you and I staying behind.

...Tho bathically, everything went to thit?
[This is the best he can come up with. His snark parameters are pretty small at the moment. ]

[She sighs again.]
You shouldn't feel bad for anyone else and you shouldn't put yourself down for anything. You went through just as much rough crap as anyone else did, even more so, I think.
...you smiled. When you made that call, to stay with me.

...I with I could have been there with you, AA. I mean... I wath. But I wathn't. ...What the fuck am I thaying? Thith is thtupid. [And there he goes, spluttering his teeth all over the place, cradling his head in one hand. Because he's not the Time player -- she is -- and he doesn't know any better way to put it. Because it was stupid, really stupid, and she's so... okay with that.]
[Distantly, he wishes he had his glasses.]

[She puts an arm around his shoulders.]
What's important is that hey. We're here! And this place isn't so bad. It's like a - well. It's like an MMORPG, but there's a lot more to explore and a lot less 'oh holy shit that sure is a demon chasing us'.

[And Aradia's up on her feet two seconds later, one hand on her hip.]
Come on, I'll show you.

[Sollux, have Aradia's member address. And a party invite. Then she's off to the Chaos Gate.]
Hm...oh, I know!
[A few moments later. and it's off to Δ Peaceful Leading Freedom.]
This is a good starter spot. You'll learn fast, but.

[They arrive. Sollux looks around, thoroughly unimpressed, but not surprised.] ...Huh. I gueth they can't really thpend all their good dethign ideath on the newbie dungeonth.

This one's a level 3 field, so it's about right for the both of us - I haven't been around long enough to do tons of level-grinding.
