"We will be waiting on the other side. Rose Lalonde, April 15th, 2017." Rose finished writing the introductory post and clicked "submit".

Of course, it would go without question that the post would not become viral or whatever the wacky definition was. For starters, Rose wasn't even sure if it was publicly available. Sure, the original blog that inspired her to create this blog was accessible through a Google search, but its author may have been promoting the work; hence the overtaken support group memo.

On the other hand, though, the people behind this blog didn't even need fame. As Rose was now diligently describing them in the "about us" page while messing around with the blog's theme, they seemed to be rather ordinary personalities, only shaped by one thing: they were Homestuck characters.

Rose had already neatly put them into groups. In this room, there was herself, Jade and Calliope, and they all agreed to be the founding members of the blog, after Rose had asked them quick questions. John was probably still asleep, while Dave was probably in some sort of brotherly ritual with his... brother, and therefore they were more distant, but not completely out of the reach.

Then there was Caliborn, who would very likely make an opportunity to antagonize Calliope, especially since she had accidentally become the figurehead of the group. For him, Rose made a new category, which could have been described as an enemies list, but there was still the sliver of hope that an agreement, no matter how difficult, could be made with this person.

Then there was Andrew Hussie.

From the first meeting the beta kids had with him, Andrew Hussie was an enigma wrapped in a mystery shrouded in a tight ball of secrets, surrounded by an even tighter ball of his comic that didn't allow those secrets through, surrounded by a larger circle of his fans, who appeared to be reaching far and wide. Even research on Andrew Hussie didn't yield much; Rose did learn that he was born in 1979 and that he had several other projects on his hands, including whatever the hell Hiveswap was, but then, she got deep into the well of Homestuck fans. And possibly Hiveswap fans as well.

While Rose was distracted, Jade decided to enter a chat with Calliope once again. "pretty nice beginnings huh?" she asked.

"coUld have been nicer. it really coUld. a lot of the ideas behind the sUpport groUp were becaUse we hated hUssie, and there is no way to change that!"

"that much is true..." Jade reluctantly agreed. "but think of it another way / you will slowly but surely become good friends with us four / and possibly even our kind!"

"i look forward to seeing what hUmans are like when they are not complimenting my cosplay!"

"wait / your cosplay? / are you telling me that you are not really a cherub?"

"no! i didn't mean that. i meant that other hUmans are talking aboUt cosplay! i am really a cherUb. there are articles aboUt me. rose?"

"Yes?" Rose had already gone deep into the net, and unearthed a comic strip about Jeffrey Rowland, another comic artist from Easthampton, welcoming Hussie into the town... on October 1st, 2010. A pretty long time, and very likely, Hussie had gotten acquainted with everything during the time.

"coUld yoU perhaps look Up stUdies on me?"

"Hmm. I'm not sure if any of those were published on the Web, but perhaps we can ask my mother." Rose closed her laptop, so that neither Jade nor Calliope could do anything funny to it, and went to her mother's room. "Hey, lead research consultant R. Lalonde?"

"hey thats no fare / im mom to u / an besides once i got shot in 98 i coldnt do anymore sciences on the survivos slash ur new friends"

"Caliborn is not my friend."

"then he shold be" At those words, Rose slightly flinched. Caliborn? Her friend? He didn't really want to be anyone's friend, and at this rate, it didn't seem like his personality could be fixed.

"Anyway, Calliope is wondering what research you did on her. Perhaps you have a folder left over?"

"maybes / lemme check" Rose's mother opened a drawer and rummaged through the papers. She had done a lot of science during the time, and there was a year on each folder, so it was only a matter of looking for anything with 1996, 1997 or 1998 and any words on "survivors" or "Easthampton".

Rose, slightly curious, peered over what her mother was searching for, and immediately her eyes were caught on the folder in question. She swiped it, leaving her mother dumbfounded and making her realize, once again, that she had been drinking a little bit too much. "There we go. Thank you. I can take these, right?"

"there all sorts a classified / bu as long as they dont leave the house its all fine ba me"

"I'll take that as a yes." Rose returned to her own room, where Jade and Calliope were chatting, once again, and handed the folder over to the cherub. "And I already found it. Now we can all learn something about a species that we will never encounter again."

Jade quickly moved closer to Calliope, looking at the folder. All the details about the aliens were captured and recorded, and the resulting documents were fairly long. Calliope finally felt relief that something that had been kept secret from her had been revealed, while Jade looked at the observations and asked something along the lines of "do cherubs really do that?"

Rose, though, once again was the one left out. She presumed that it was time for her to blog again, even if she had absolutely no idea how to blog.

Perhaps, if she made posts with random comment related to her and her friends, she would hit the jackpot sometime. If not, then there always was the memo, even if it was overrun by rabid Homestuck fans.
