Your name is John Egbert and currently, you are standing in the mess-hall being hugged to death by most of your friends. They had been so overjoyed in seeing that you were awake.
You were... glad.
They care - or was this all just some cruel joke? Were they toying with you?
You push that thought away.
You're absolutely positive they care.
Well... At least some of them.
The only thing ruining this moment for you was the occasional stares you receive from both Rose and Jade.
You silently wonder if Jade told her - hell, scratch that thought.
Rose is a Seer. No wonder she knows. She probably saw/heard your thoughts.
You take a quick gander at her from the corner of your eye.
She's standing by the counter, next to Kanaya.
You notice she's smirking. She must have heard that too.
If only you could block her from accessing your mind.
You're about to let a frown grace your features, but quickly stop yourself.
You're supposed to be happy, right?
Can't have your friends thinking you're all sad and depressed, now can we?
You are cheerful, bubbly John Egderp - Egbert.
Sadness doesn't look good on you.
It makes you look like a hideous, fat boar.
So chin up, and show the world the world how much an asshole you can be! Pull the shittiest pranks you can!
Ha, what are you thinking?
You don't feel like pulling any of your shitty pranks today and you sure as hell don't feel like being an asshole.
You want to - no.
You're not even going to think about what you want to do, because quite frankly, it scares the shit out of you.
You decide to actually pay attention to what's going on around you.
Jade is now leaning against- woah.
She's leaning against Sollux, a soft smile resting on her face.
Sollux is whispering something to her that's causing a light blush to cover her cheeks.
...You decide you don't want to know what he's saying to her.
Nepeta is standing a few distances away from them, talking animatedly to Equius.
Equius appears to be sweating bullets.
Over by the table are Karkat and Terezi, and Gamzee and Tavros. It looks as though Karkat is trying to discuss something serious, but Terezi and Gamzee keep arguing.
Tavros looks a bit upset, but he's not doing anything to stop them.
Eridan, Vriska, and Feferi are... nowhere to be seen.
This doesn't surprise you.
The usually -
You jump and resist the urge to yelp as someone places their hand on your shoulder.
You quickly turn around and find that the owner of the hand is your best bro, Dave Strider.
"Woah, chill dude," he says calmly.
Inside, you know he's a bit freaked out.
You've never been this jumpy - even after the game.
You sigh, "S-Sorry, Dave."
He shrugs.
"S'No biggie."
He looks like he wants to say something more, but he doesn't.
"Dave?" You ask timidly. "Is there something you want to say?"
Dave hesitates at first, but complies and asks, "Are you okay? You seem a bit different."
Different? Ha. There's an understatement.
Woo, understatements for everyone! Step right up and get your understatement!
Your albino friend takes off his shades and reveals to you his crimson eyes.
He's being serious.
He knows something's up, and he's not going to stop until he finds out what that something is.
You rub the bridge of your nose.
You don't think you'll be able to lie your way through this.
You slowly exhale through your mouth and build up the courage to tell him.
