What It Is; ==>

GG: hi happy birthday rose!!! <3
TT: Hello, and thanks.
GG: did you get johns present yet?
TT: I just opened it this very moment. What a stunning coincidence you would ask about it now. I am stunned.
GG: yeah i know!!
GG: what will you make with it?

TT: And who said it was something from which something else could be made?
GG: well john did tell me what it was duh.....
TT: I suppose I'll take a stab at learning the craft.
TT: It's the least I can do in response to the subtle dig concealed in his gesture.
TT: He often tells me I "need a new hobby" when I make perfectly reasonable analytical remarks.

GG: oh but rose i dont think he meant anything like that by it!!
GG: you see not everybody always means the opposite of what they say the way you and dave always do

TT: Maybe.
TT: His birthday is in a few months, isn't it?

GG: yep!
GG: i finally finished a present for him
GG: ive been working on it for years!!!!

TT: Years?
TT: It's so hard to tell when you're joking.
TT: Or if you're even capable of it.

GG: heheheh.... :)
GG: i just mailed it too so it is sure to get there on time
GG: mail takes a while to get anywhere from here!!!

TT: I'll probably craft something with strong sentimental value.
TT: That should burn him.

GG: i dont think you really mean that!
TT: I guess not.
TT: So, shall I expect a green package dropped to my house via airmail from whatever screwball cranny of the globe you're tucked into?

GG: err.......
GG: no :(
GG: sorry but you are sort of hard shop for <.<
GG: besides i have something for you today that i think you will like better than some thing in a box!

TT: Oh?
GG: it is a tip!!!!
TT: This is already intriguing enough to compensate for the grave scarcity of lavish gifts parachuting from the sky. Please go on.
GG: did you have a pet a long time ago that died?
TT: Yes.
GG: ok well how did you feel about your cat, did you love him a lot?
TT: "ok well", I didn't mention it was a cat, or that it was a male. Let's pretend I'm surprised and you're embarrassed and move on.
TT: To answer your question, I would describe my feelings toward the animal as lukewarm.

GG: ummmmm ok....
GG: thats fine!!!
GG: it doesnt really matter i think, just.....
GG: what if someone told you you could play a game that would bring him back to life?

TT: If someone told me that, I would regard the remark with a great deal of skepticism.
TT: If that someone was you, on the other hand, then I would have to ask preemptively:
TT: Is that someone you?

GG: yes that someone is me!!!!!!!!
GG: i just thought you might find it interesting

TT: So what is this game?
GG: oh i dont know
GG: im just saying is all
GG: i think youll hear about it later and maybe you can talk to john and dave about it
GG: they are way more into all that stuff than i am!!!!

TT: I'll see what the word on the street is about it. In due time.
TT: For now I should probably order a copy of Knitting for Assholes. It would be a shame if I ran late with John's present.


What she Learned;
- Importantly, this is The Third Friend, the one that Doc Scratch referenced and that has been thrown around by not only Tavros, but Vriska as well. Rose doesn't know her name (she? he?) but she does have a pesterchum: gardenGnostic.
- Second most importantly: those tornados, the neon world, the flying and the crazy powers? Those are a game. She's playing a video game! She already brought her dead cat back to life, and so this just defines the situation.
- Slightly less important, but still interesting: this is the memory immediately after she opens John's gift! And this girl seems to be friends with John and Dave as well.
- DAVE'S NAME FINALLY SHOWED UP IN HER MEMORIES her assumptions seem to be correct.
- GG is mysterious as fuck.
- GG is also psychic???
- GG lives waaaaaay far away from wherever Rose herself lives, and can only get things to people through airmail and it takes several months. Obviously she doesn't live where John lives.
- I HAVE FRIENDS AND I LOVE THEM.
- More about the mysterious past self: she rarely says anything she means. Perhaps she should be more mysterious...
- Or maybe not because this person seems to not even trust her friends! Ugh that's so weird.
- But this girl is really mysterious...how does she know all of this? How does she have all the answers?
- Also Rose learned how to knit out of a book. '-'

- The reason this is most important: this is Rose in a day to day conversation, and ultimately sets the tone for her skepticism and crazy relationship with her three friends, who she hasn't yet gotten to know very well through her memories. This connects her to all of them, in a very meaningful way. Obviously they must like her a lot if they send her presents and know she cares about her cat very much. Ultimately one of the major themes of Homestuck is friendship, and this gives a very good basis for that, and the importance it plays in Rose's life.
