Kim's POV

I just sat there for a minute, staring at the frozen application. Then, the game restarted, and it showed the main menu again. Afterward, a message popped up.
XF: "Alright, Ymke is shown as offline. So I presume that means that you guys succeeded?"
Kim: "Yep! So now I've gotta enter now, right?"
XF: "That's right. Just connect to me, I'm using the username xenyFlux."
I clicked the client button, and found his username in the list. Once connected, a big cursor appeared above me. Immediately, it deployed the required machines, and dropped a card on my desk.
XF: "I'll go ahead, and prepare myself for entering. I suggest that you do the same."
Kim: "Alright! ^u^"
I went ahead and took the card. After sticking the card into the slot on the totem lathe, I began trying to decide on a way to open the cruxtruder.

Ymke's POV

I stood in my room with my new toothlessSprite, and only half of my house was left after 'entering'. The house seemed to be on a giant floating island, with an unbelievably bright source of light coming from what seemed to be another planet, and a strange sun. Out of curiosity, I stuck my hand outside a window, and I got almost instantly sunburned.
Y^,^: "Jesus tering christus! (JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!)"
Man! That hurt like HELL! Welp, now I've gotta hope that my half of the house has the medicine, so I could treat this. I began to search the house for some hydrogen peroxide.

After a bit of deciding, I began leaning against my dresser, and it tumbled onto the cruxtruder, forcing open the lid and revealing the sprite. I already had an idea for what to prototype with it, too. I picked up my ragdoll that I kept by my bed, and tossed it in. Afterward, I checked the timer, seeing that I had ten minutes.
After a sigh of relief, I turned a wheel that was attached near the top of the tube part of the cruxtruder, and took the cruxite dowel to the totem lathe, along with the card. I inserted both, and pressed a button, activating it. I then took the carved totem and placed it on the small pedestal of the alchemiter, and started it up. I ended up alchemizing a machete!
Kim: "Ahh yeah! Now we're talking!"
(8:00) Just as I was about to touch it, however, it was automatically stabbed into a stone that appeared as well. Giving a sigh of frustration, I grasped the handle and pulled as hard as I could, but it didn't budge. (7:00) I got a message on Skype: the rest of the friend group was messaging me, as well as probably trying to message Ymke.
Melina: "Wat de fuck gebeurt er?! Wat de fuck is er aan de hand?! Het regent meteoren, er komt een hurricane aan, en Ymke is nergens te bevinden! (What the hell is happening?! There's meteors raining down on Earth, there's a hurricane coming, and Ymke is nowhere to be found!)"
Jade: "dit komt me erg bekend voor... (This seems awfully familiar...)"
Kim: "Hey jongens! Ymke is veilig! (Hey guys! Ymke's safe.)"
Rosanne: "Kim, wat is er aan de hand?! (Kim, what's going on?!)"
Kim: "Nou, ik begon met het spelen van deze coole game, en- (Well, I started playing this cool game, and-)"
Jade: "Wacht, welke game?! (Wait, what game?!)"
Kim: "Nou, het heel Sburb (Well, it's called Sburb.)"
Rosanne: "..."
Rosanne: "...Well, shit."
Jade: "Guys! we moeten naar Kim's huis, nu! (Guys, we've gotta get to Kim's house, pronto!)"
Melina: "hoezo? (Why?)"
Rosanne: "Zodat we overleven, Melina (So that we can survive, Melina.)"
Rosanne: "Als het verhaal echt is, dat zijn we fucked als we niet in een Homestuck's huis zijn. (If the story is legit, then we're toast if we don't get to a Homestuck's house.)"
Melina: ":I"
Melina: "Waar wachten we dan nog op! (Then what are we waiting for?!)"
(3:00) I decided to try again to pull the sword from the stone, this time at a different angle. I heard a knock at the door, just as I accidentaly snapped the sword. Then, there was a flash of light...

I sure am glad that I prototyped a sketch of Ymke's waifu. It's so hot here, wherever 'here' is... I looked out the nearby window, and had to immediate close the blinds. I put on some shades, and take another look outside.
The entire landscape was made of crystal. In the distance, I could spot some structures that looked like crystal that made up the ground was clear, and I could see the core deep down, shining like a literal star. Said core was shining so bright, that the sky looked dark as night.I walked out what was left of my house, and noticed a set of rings above my house.
Bas: "What are those?"
ElsaSprite: "Those are your gates. They will eventually allow you to travel to friends."
Bas: "Huh..."

I knocked on the door, and immediately afterwards, the house disappeared! The door, frame and all, was still there though. We all just stood there for a minute, speachless. Then, Jade and I broke the ice.
Rosanne: "OH GOG!"
Jade: "Wait, didn't Ymke and Kim talk about have a homestuck as a friend in America?"
Rosanne, perking up: "you're right!"
Melina: "I don't get it, couldn't we just sneak into any random Homestuck's house?"
Jade: "No, because we have to be sure that we enter the same session as Ymke. So, it's better to play it safe, and find someone that we know for sure will likely join her session."
Melina: "But we'd have to use all our money to get to America, plus, we don't know where he lives."
At that, I simply opened up Google+ and found the name "Skylord Xenysis" in Ymke's friends list. I saw the city GR, Michigan, before I lost connection due to the hurricane coming our way.
Rosanne: "Damnit."
Jade: "We'd better get going."
We got into Jade's car, and she began speeding to get to the nearest airport.
