homestuck round 2

JERANN: Miss Jeevik. Thank You For Agreeing To Speak With Me. I’ll Confess, I Was Surprised To Receive Your Message After My Previous Invitation Was Not So Politely Rescinded

CRIDEA: Haha, #yeah, I think there was a bit of… an #overreaction on the part of #TheTeam. #Things got #BlownOutOfProportion. But the #LAST thing I want is #BadBlood!

You’re Referring To My Investigation Into Your “Secret”

#Honestly, I think the #RealStory here isn’t what #CertainPeople think they’ve #uncovered. It’s what we can learn from how quickly #rumors spread. 

Are You Suggesting My Claims Are Baseless

I’m suggesting that your #information is #incomplete. #Fragments of #SomethingLarger, taken #OutOfContext. That’s why I wanted to speak #directly, at #JeevikWeek. Not to #silence you, but to #clarify! #OpenDialogue #RadicalTransparency

So There Is Truth Behind Them

There’s a #story here, #ToBeSure. But I’d prefer to give #MySide... #InPerson.

Hence The Reinvitation

#Exactly. I thought it was time we #reset the #tone. You’re just #ChasingTheTruth, and I have #NothingToHide.

Then Why Uninvite Me In The First Place

If I’m being fully #honest here... I #panicked.

You were #TooClose to something you didn’t #understand... And I thought there was a chance I could still keep it all #UnderWraps.

But I was #wrong, I #see that now. I should have #engaged in a #GoodFaith, #FullyTransparentConversation with you from the #VeryStart, especially since #IDidNothingWrong...  

But you know what they say about #hindsight. #ItsTwentyTwenty

That’s A Very Mature Admission Miss Jeevik. Maybe I’ve Misjudged You

Well, I’m #Turning9Sweeps, after all! I’d better #GetStarted on that #adulting, right? #Lol! #BetterLateThanNever

Indeed. Then I Will Extend That Same Magnanimity And Apologize For How My Tenacious Methods May Have Inconvenienced You And Your Friends

Oh, #NoNeed at all! I #TotallyUnderstand, Jerann. In fact, I have nothing but #respect for your #commitment to the #truth.

Thank You. It Sounds Like We Are Both Fundamentally Virtuous Characters

#SoTrue!

That’s why I’m #inviting you #personally to this sweep’s #JeevikWeek #VIPDay. I want you and all your #DiscerningReaders to #see what I’m #ReallyAbout... And then #DecideForYourselves.

I See. Then I’ll Attend. And In The Spirit Of Transparency, I’ll Publish Whatever I Find There

Then I think we’re in #PerfectAlignment, Mr. Mussel. :)

I Suppose The Bombshell Will Have To Wait. The Real Story, It Seems, Is Still Being Written

Isn’t it #always?

Well, There You Have It. In A Shocking Turn Of Events...

I Just Sent In My RSVP To Jeevik Week VIP Day.

Because Of That, I’ve Decided To Temporarily Suspend Publication Of My Shocking Exposé

Not Cancelled

Just Postponed, Pending Further Investigation.

There Are Still Too Many Unanswered Questions

Too Many Threads Leading Back To Her That Don’t Quite Fit The Narrative Everyone Else Has Been Spinning...

But Once I Attend Jeevik Week And See It All For Myself

I’ll Be Ready To Tell The Full Story.

The Next Piece You’ll Read Won’t Be Speculation. It Won’t Be Hearsay. It’ll Be The Whole Truth Straight From The Source

So Stay Tuned, And Watch This Space

I’ll Have A Full Follow-Up After The Party.
