HOW I WOULD‘VE WRITTEN HOMESTUCK 2
...Or at least its premise
First of all, the Epilogues would be completely nullified, but elements taken from them.
Your name is HARRY EGBERT.
An aspiring young comedian, you live with your MOM in your DAD’s old house. Ever since your DAD mysteriously disappeared your MOM has developed a habit for EXCESSIVE DRINKING. This was made worse recently when a CLOSE FRIEND of hers hijacked a spacecraft and flew into the unknown. She’s never told you details about your DAD’s disappearance, but one time you overheard something about a shady character named “Calcicorn”.
Your name is TRAVIS CROCKER.
Given that your MOM is the PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY, you don’t see a lot of your parents, but at the very least your DAD still comes by occasionally when he’s not on one of his grand adventures. This means you often spend most nights ALONE in a massive mansion. If you didn’t at least have your friends you’d likely lose all HOPE.
Your name is VRISSY LALONDE
Unlike your other friends, you are a TROLL, a species of egg laying creatures that, according to your MOMs used to not have parents in the traditional sense. Like Egbert’s DAD, one day one of your MOMs mysterious disappeared, leaving only your other MOM to take care of you. She can be a little overprotective though, so you surely have an interest in TEENAGE REBELLION.
Your name is TIFFANY STRIDER
For a long time you’ve been mostly independent. You don’t want help from anybody, and don’t need it. Ever since both your MOM and DAD disappeared, you’ve had to see first hand how cruel the world can be. You were adopted by your UNCLE, but you’re sure you could’ve made it even without his help. He likes to get on your case a lot for STARTING FIGHTS at school, but you tend to just TONE HIM OUT. Which is actually rather difficult with how loud he is.
Starting today, the 13th of April, the four of you are about to partake in an adventure the likes of which most definitely has never happened to ANYONE before.
