Long Live Pt. 5

           We had started the game, there was no way out now. Cali, John and I had went to a Starbucks to sort this all out.
"What are we going to do?" John asked
"We have to play the game all the way through" Cali said, obviously
"Oh my god you guys" I just realized what this meant
"What?" John and Cali asked
"In Homestuck, remember how there was that meteor attack?" I was freaked "What if that happen here?"
"No, that can't happen" John shook his head, refusing to accept the truth that we would have to face
            There was a meteor attack that was going to happen. T-Minus 5 Days 4 Hours 36 Minutes 09 Seconds. And counting.
"What if the 'trolls' are actual trolls?" Cali asked, adding to our fright
"Let's settle this, once an for all" I pulled out my phone and pulled up PesterChum the app

PESTERCHUM

CG: WELL, IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE

MC: slightly
CG: AUNT TEREZI IS MY MATESPIRIT
MC: ohhhhhhh
MC: i have to go
MC: but i want to talk to you later
MC: i love you

           I put my phone away, feeling awkward.
"What is it?" John asked
"Nothing" I shook my head
"Okay.." John shrugged, still slightly awkward, knowing how we were all related
           I started mulling over what Uncle Karkat had told me. The trolls who trolled us were ACTUAL trolls. Slowly it started sinking in. I was getting used to it. Cali looked at something on the table, blank, unsure how to deal with how this day had gone.
"It'll be okay, Cali" I rubbed her arm
           Her skin was cold, some thing that was unusual. Normally she was warm, but slowly goosebumps started rising.
This wasn't good.
