Land of Days and Homestuck

This is your grandfather's collection of what he refers to as his BEAUTIES. No lovely lady will be fit for his collection unless her portrait has spent at least 20 years bleaching in the front window of a beauty parlor, a sort of establishment he's plundered no less frequently than ancient tombs. You guess they were sort of like your sisters while growing up, and you were always encouraged to look up to them. They are all awfully pretty ladies you suppose, but it was always hard to get as excited about them as grandpa. "Jade, study hard and keep your rifle at the ready. When adventure summons, I know you will rise to the task and take your rightful place among the DAUGHTERS OF ECLECTICA." That old coot sure is a bag of wind!

Oh yeah. How could you forget about his stash of DECREPIT MUMMIES. God you hate these things.

You hop down a level. Granddad also likes to accumulate VALIANT KNIGHTS from his travels. These are pretty cool, you guess.

This is as far down as you can go. The GRAND FOYER is still a few floors down, but the TRANSPORTALIZER on that level is blocked by one of GRANDPA'S impressive BIG GAME TROPHIES, and you just don't think he would cotton to someone moving it. Speaking of which, here are some of his TROPHIES now. He has a million of these ghastly things. You really dislike them.

It looks like the kiosk monitors the lab's enormous HUBGRID.

There are no scientists to be found, mad or otherwise. Or anyone for that matter. The lab appears to be deserted. There is a KIOSK though.

You enter the LABORATORY.

PUNCH CARD CALCULATOR [By Gankra]

But years, not hours... Under bare white branches a sentry wakens.

Try as you might, you can't stop your mind from drifting to the fate of your friends. You dwell on a particular configuration of REMINDERS on your finger.

You pack up your LUNCHTOP and get ready to take care of some business downstairs.

You've spent enough time for now concerning yourself with the future of your friends. John will not be available until later. By then he will have his hands full, as will you.
