PLANET EARTH III 2023, Episode 02: Ocean - featuring the Pearl Octopus

i have to say i really appreciate how you draw rose wearing a pleated skirt, i wish it was more common

Thanks! Pleats are my favorites to draw when I get the chance to draw.

[badlydrawnrose]

I could draw her so much worse.

(A joke.)

I haven't drawn her in a while; tbh any drawing would be better at this point

[badlydrawnrose]

TG: thank uuuuuu!!!!

TG: she is so round...

TG: OMG ur bby grub is so precious. i luv her.

[badlydrawnrose]

Yayyyyyyyy

EB: I guess I've gotta tell you now...

TT: You do not actually have to. The only thing I insist upon is that you let us be here for you.

[badlydrawnrose]

Even if this isn't the most. Ideal of circumstances. It feels like a sign for the better. Once it is gotten through.

*A figure in the clouds

*She looks tall and wears a hat of the winds and rain, and a long, long tendril like a long hood on her jacket.

*It's June. No one should see that lightning and know it was her tears, but Rose sees it all too well.

*Ink will not work here. The runes must be written in some other plasma, some fire and light.

*Rose knows them.

TT: I am going to get you out of here, June.

TT: We all love you so much. I don't know how you 'failed', but you hardly deserve to spend your time like this.

TT: I got my father killed, did I tell you? I made Jade and Dave very upset, and they did not forgive me for a while.

TT: But they are here for me. We are not...hah...fair weather friends.

TT: Nor do I intend to be a fairweather partner.

TT: Frankly, believing that we would be so callous as to hate you if you expressed yourself is quite the insult.

EB: ...

*The spell completes. June condenses into herself.

TT: June?

EB: ...

*She grabs onto Rose and holds her tight.

[badlydrawnrose]

I wish you luck rose.

*Rose sees June. It is time to fly after her, and to see if she can write on the wind.*

[badlydrawnrose]

It is an interesting reversal. The source of this storm.

TT: June is the source. She's in the clouds.

TT: ...I know the runes.

TT: I can stop this.

[badlydrawnrose]

that which is buried returns tenfold. at least in my experience. its coming back up now because you kept such tight wraps on it.

TT: June?

EB: Shit shit shit!

*Light flashes. June vanishes into the storm.*

TT: June!

*Rose tries to find her again, amidst the clouds and rain. She's there.*

*Time to catch her.*

[badlydrawnrose]

Even If You Are Not Willing To Accept That You Deserve Love, There Are Still People Who Love You, June. Rose Loves You.

EB: (why won't it stop coming back then? I used to keep this down fine!)

[badlydrawnrose]

well even when multiple versions of people are running around i dont think its fair to call any one of them a knockoff. just different people with similar histories and usually the same name.

TT: June, as I told you, I do not consider you a substitute for my Egbert or some hypothetical June who magically makes no mistakes.

TT: I do not think of you as defective. This...

TT: This storm. It is all uncontrolled power that you were never taught to use, isn't it?

EB: ... someone taught me, Rose. I just wasn't up to it. I didn't learn.

TT: They must have been a shitty teacher, then.

EB: He wasn't.

TT: Who? I'd like a word with this so-called teacher.

EB: Don't!

*Rose freezes. She knows that tone.*

EB: He's part of the game. Just a thing called a denizen that's supposed to test you and give you power.

TT: How did this work, then?

EB: ...

[badlydrawnrose]

i hope june is willing to listen to you rose. i am rather worried for her. given the state of things.

TT: She is at the eye of the storm.

TT: I can reach there. It will be difficult.

*So begins the walk. The rain howls. Cries echo and dissolve into the thunder. As Rose nears the center, the clouds and rain and fog grow so thick that she can't see anything but what she always can.*

*Light.*

*And flashing there at the center is none other than June Egbert, shaking more than she has ever before, half dissolved into the wind itself.*

TT: June!

*Lightning arcs and strikes behind them. There's nothing in the eye but the two of them.*

TT: June! I am going to get you out of here.

EB: ...

EB: Rose...you shouldn't have to be here...

TT: Ignoring my loved ones' problems sounds very tempting, but I think I will pass. June, what's happening to you?

EB: I told you. I'm a knockoff of the Egbert with the wind and the retcon thing.

EB: The one who...handled it.

EB: I'm not her.

[badlydrawnrose]

I know your dealing with quite a bit June. But running will not help.

*June cannot hear you over the howling winds.*

TT: Hmm, this one came to me...

TT: Running into a storm seems particularly terrible for the health, in more than one way. Alone time is quite beneficial, but here?

TT: I'll divine her presence first.

[badlydrawnrose]

Rose, I Think Whenever June Comes Back It Would Be Good To Prepare Something Nice For Her, Shes... Not Exactly Doing Well Right Now

TT: I will, but she is caught up in some sort of storm out here. I need to make sure she is all right.

[badlydrawnrose]

ROSE HURRY FIND THE STORM

TT: Zzz...

*In the dream bubbles*

TT: A storm you say? Thank you.

TT: June...what is happening to you?

[badlydrawnrose]

It Wasnt Your Fault :(

*The storm is too thick to see through.*
