Oh, it's just Tinkerbull writing MEOW.
Unlike Rose's lavender cipher, Tavros isn't authoring this sequence in his signature color. Instead, his code is Doc Scratch white - a bad omen, if I ever saw one.
AA: an incomplete fragment consisting of four symbols
AA: comprising the first word of a binary refrain
A binary refrain, implying the existence of a TOCK Player. Does each code constitute half of MEOW, or has Doc Scratch's genome been spliced with something else entirely?
AA: a pair of sounds emerging from the belly of a fabled tyrants menace
That would be the crocodile from Peter Pupa Pan.
Come to think of it, The story of Hook's crocodile draws some possibly-unintentional parallels to Homestuck's current arc. In the movie, it constantly circled Hook like a buzzard, the ominous ticking in its belly serving as a constant reminder that he was living on borrowed time.
AA: but you authored only one sound of the pair
AA: i would write the other
Breath and Time, T1ck and T0ck.
What have you got cooking, Team Charge?
AA: completing the phrase of legend
AA: the persisting sounds said to accompany the ultimate demise of the tyrant less an arm and an eye
These legendary injuries again. Just like in the original story, it seems that Pupa’s Hook also dies to the ticking of a clock.
In the context of the comic, this might actually be a prophecy about the death one of our Hook cosplayers – namely, Slick, Jack and Vriska. Perhaps the real reason these injuries are so common is to ensure we can't tell who this prophecy's actually about. Tyrant currently suits Jack best, but a lot can happen in four thousand pages.
AA: but even these eight characters
AA: the scrawlings of charge
AA: were still but half the code
Charge provides half the code, and Scourge undoubtedly provides the other. The nascent Doc Scratch is composed of four sequences, supplied by the progenitors of this group's bloodiest conflict.
It seems this code was implanted in three Prospit dreamers, and only one Derse dreamer. Sgurb's mechanics are almost universally balanced by moon, so I find this a little odd.
Immediately after the cueball incident, Vriska subconsciously authors break.
What does Terezi get, then? R3P41R?
‘BR8K H34DS.’
Team Scourge is the story of a rigged coin, and a broken 8-ball.

The first chapter will be posted Sunday, 13 August 2023.
Borne of our actual hatred of business development and networking events, @rmd-writes and I have created (Un)professional Services: 6 chapters and 60,000 words of corporate-Tarlos chaos, to be posted over 6 weeks.
This project was the result of many many hours of no one telling us "no", including each other, and the answer to everything being "yes, and then what if...":
There are hot people at networking events?
We make Owen the most chaotic he’s ever been?
Gwyn lives and roasts TK at every opportunity?
Carlos spirals like a zoodle?
TK has to endure seeing Carlos in a suit all the time?
A law firm makes corporate branded condoms?
Fire safety training is an ongoing and slightly unexplained theme?
Stay tuned to find out the answer to some of these and more.
A thousand forehead kisses and fruit baskets for @celeritas2997 for letting us derail the gc over this so many times and for beta reading!
Summary below just because we like to tease:
TK Strand has been an attorney long enough to know that networking events with accounting firms offer little more than terrible wine that he doesn’t drink, uninspiring small talk and a stack of identical-looking business cards.
Until he takes Nancy up on a bet and winds up having all of his preconceived ideas about business development being challenged by an accountant who is very far from boring.
The Tarlos Professional Services AU.

Someone here said that Steris would love Excel. This is certainly true, however...what if she CREATED the Scadrian version of Excel? She learned about this new fangled computer thing and found it to be a much easier place to store her lists but it was just missing ONE thing.
So you know ..she made it.

With the recent news about the ICC having their balls put in America's wallet I wanna say something snarky to the effect of "I've been saying this for months if not years" but like I can't even bring myself to world news is comically unfunny at this point having my prediction from fucking middle school come to fruition isn't a pleasant feeling when I consider what an asshole I used to be I dont even have a footer to this its so fucking depressing the only thing I didn't predict was that living in the country that has justice in a cock cage fucking sucks actually

Tagged by @wodkapudding - thank you! Love doing these and love reading them too!
Rules: Answer the questions below and then tag people you want to get to know better/catch up with to do the same.
Last song: Madeline Juno - Waldbrand (up there with Megaherz - Amnesie as songs I've been really craving today)
Currently watching: Uuuuuh, I guess I'm still somewhat in the middle of rewatching Tatort Berlin - Das Leben nach dem Tod but rn it's not looking very likely that I'll continue that any time soon.
Favourite colour: dark colours in general + olive green
Last movie: rewatched Kingsman a while ago when my brain was too fried for anything else
Currently reading: Sofies Welt, which is why I'm probably not going to reach my goal of 10 books per month this month. But so far it's very interesting and I'm a bit mad at the friend (i don't remember which one tho) who told me years ago not to read it because it was boring and difficult. Also started Drei ??? - Schattenwelt tho, for when I need something less brain- and note-intense xD
Sweet, spicy or savoury: depends on the day
Relationship status: single and very much not looking to change that. crush or no crush
Current obsession: somehow managed to get myself Justus/Victor brainrot again. Opening Feuermond to check something was a mistake.
Last googled: Beelitz Heilstätten
Currently working on: as usual too many fics (not very actively tho rn) and in a second also making dinner. Should also start planning for the the Writer's Month Prompts, but so far the month has been Intense and I need some time to breathe first.
Tagging: uuuuuh. idk. please just pretend I tagged you if you wanna ramble on any of these questions? I *really* need to start dinner xD
