"So, where are we going?"
John holds out a map, which doesn't really show much, since John is so unfamiliar with the location, and so he asks Vriska for help. Since she seems to be beaming with excitement.
"Oh come on John! Show a little excitement! We're on Alternia!"
Vriska does a little dance, most likely in excitement. John still isn't totally sure what this means, he knows it's Vriska's home planet sure, but everything else is beyond him. He looks over at Vriska though, seemed to be dressed as some sort of pirate? The hook for a hand and boots definitely show this off

John Yawns and rubs his eyes,
"So uh, why did you wake me up at 4 am to drag me all the way out here?"
"Wait wait please! Just follow me for like 8 more minutes, we're almost there"
Vriska responds, its probably alot sooner, Vriska says *everything* is about 8 minutes long. Though it has proven before that 8 minutes long can mean something is way longer too, so John is kind of skeptical

After a whole 3 minutes of walking, John puts the map away and looks up at Vriska, who seems to be staring off into the new area, an ocean, a giant purple ocean. John just assumes it's the ocean at Alternia, he doesn't think anything is weird anymore when it comes to trolls, he seriously has Vriska to thank for that
"Come on John! Aren't you excited!" Vriska exclaimed, she's absolutely beaming in the face. It's the first time in awhile Vriska has seen her own ocean. she runs in the water and gets her boots a bit wet.
"No offense Vriska," John says "but excited for what?" John wipes his eyes

"John! We're going to FLARP!"
She seems extremely excited, John has only heard tales of the this elusive sport in troll culture

"Sooo, you woke me up in the middle of the night to take me out to an alternian ocean, to roleplay?"
"Yes!!!!!!!!"
The spider comes back and hugs John, John hugs back but rolls his eyes behind her back. He's always wanted to do something like this but waking him up this early was unnecessary

Vriska suggests that he wipes his face off in the water, to help wake him up. So he does and when he comes back, Vriska is sitting on the sand with her dice and character sheets. John smiles at this, despite being about 3am on an alien planet, he feels comfortable there, maybe it was Vriska, or maybe it's just him being weird again, either way he sits down next to and starts studying the pieces of paper

"So, what's this all about? What classes are there?"he says, trying to emit conversation from the busy looking spider girl
"Ok! So we'll need you to fill this out, so I'll ask you a few questions and you'll answer! I'll fill it out and we'll have your class and stats!"
John nods and continues to study the sheet, wow! He does not understand a word of this! He doesn't want Vriska to know this though, so he just fakes it until she is available to explain

After many questions and a few explanations and heavy sighs coming from Vriska, she finally sets down the pen and reads the new sheet out to John.
"Ok! So turns out you are an.. Unstoppable Prankster (unsurprisingly)" Vriska says and John chuckles at that,
"Wait that's a real class? You coulda just told me that and I would have picked it!" John stands up and stretches his legs out,
"So, what's next?" John says, exploring his surroundings

"Next we go there!" Vriska points at her ship, wow! It is massive! John didn't notice it at first, he probably thought it was normal at the time. But having a giant ass pirate ship pointed out to you, it's kind of hard to realize it's kind of an outlier
