[rightcall]

( clementine has been keeping to herself since the chess match so she hasn't talked to jay since all that happened. she was glad to see him get through it okay even if she didn't say so in words. because words are hard lately. )

...holy fuck.

This is impressive.

[burntvideocassette]

[God, it's good to see Clem after what happened. With the water and the...the rest. Even if--]

i know you're technically a teenager now.
and i know this is the internet and i can't stop you.
but clem.

[Jay attaches a photo of himself pointing to the phrase "holy fuck", while frowning disapprovingly.]

Seriously though, thanks, I guess. It was the least I could do.

[rightcall]

You're right. You can't stop me. At fucking all.

( Clementine smirks as she types this even though he can't see it. She did laugh at the photo. )

...no, the least you could do was nothing. You did way more than that. This will be really useful for anyone trying to figure shit out.

[postictal]

is this why you've been locked in your room for the past couple weeks

[burntvideocassette]

i will neither confirm nor deny

but also would anybody really want to go for a walk when they just had a cd tray in their forehead




that wasn't just me right

[postictal]

no that was everyone
i guess it gave you superpowers or something
i didn't try

[angewiesen]

Wow. That's some damn thorough work. How long were you looking back in the network for all this?

[burntvideocassette]

Roughly a year. I went back about as far as I've been here.

I don't know how far back it goes yet. I assume this post is missing a lot.

[angewiesen]

I'm surprised I'm not seeing any huge contradictions. I'd expect them to be lying about stuff here and there, but they've got their stories fairly straight.

[text]

[punful]

dude holy shit

no wonder i haven't seen you in forever

[burntvideocassette]

just me and archie. on the ultimate archive binge.

i have to admit it's easier with a cat.

feels weirdly good getting back into it though.
did a lot of this kind of stuff back home.

[Voice]

[mypartnerintime]

Dude.

[She's been pretty consistent about not contacting Jay, but this deserves a response.]

[Voice]

[burntvideocassette]

Max?

[He hasn't seen her in ages. Was that...wait, was that a thing? A deliberate thing?]

[Nah, that wouldn't be it.]

Hey. Yeah, I...Did this. This thing. You, uh...you've been here way longer than me, right? You remember anything I missed?

[Tim told him she'd come to him if she had trouble. The back-home kind of trouble. The coughing-fits-and-blackouts kind of trouble. Tim said she hadn't come to him with anything. Jay agreed not to bring any of it up with her, for her safety.]

[So, Queens it is.]

[normandysbest]

Shit, kid.
You've been busy.
I assume you have my five death info from way back when.]

[burntvideocassette]

Shit.

One second.

[The next message comes two hours later, after lots of furious scrolling and an edit to his post.]

There it is.

At least it was the first post in the thread. Made it easier to find.

[This is a lot, but Kayo spends a little time combing through it. It's information everyone should have and hold onto, in her opinion. What she isn't sure of is if she should butt in and offer her thoughts. It's always hard to gauge whether an adult would appreciate a kid speaking when they haven't been spoken to directly.

The fact that it's text makes it easier.]

Some of these contradict. They're all telling us different things.

jay you egg you've met kayo. you lost her on the mirrorside.

[burntvideocassette]

Yeah.

[The username looks familiar. Then again, he's been combing through the network for weeks. Every username looks familiar.]

Hard to tell who's telling the truth.
If that's any of them.

[choosetruth]

Alice claimed she never met the White Queen. She died before Alice arrived.

[Network Link.]

Still, not bad.

[burntvideocassette]

Missed that one.

Thanks for catching it.





And thanks in general.

[Don't mind Dipper while he nearly vibrates out of existence at all the sweet sweet information.]

Wow! This is... this is so much. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be reading all night!

[He sounds so excited even though honestly, he's probably already read most of these.]

We've been gathering information down in Angel Investigations. Have you ever stopped by? We could exchange resources.

[burntvideocassette]

[Oh god, it's that kid again. And he's excited. He is excited-excited.]

[Jay remembers that. Not exactly that, but the surge of...adrenaline or whatever when he figured something out. Addictive. And it felt a lot better than the rest of it.]

[He got a taste of it a few times, pulling all this together.]

Enjoy.

And, uh--no, not--not really, no. I haven't...wait, you're...you and your sister are the ones who put that whole...reference thing together, right? Can I...?

[Dipper basically just invited him over, so yeah, Jay guesses he can.]

What kind of stuff've you pulled together over there?

[Do the kids these days even still say that.]

[text]

[burntvideocassette]

[They do if the kids died back in 2013.]

tl;dr: At least one queen is lying, and probably more than one.

[There's a file attached, with all hyperlinks intact.]
