==> Fall out of a portal.

Well, that wasn't too difficult to do, since you were already in the middle of falling. Said portal spat you out, oh, about fifteen feet off the ground, and you crashed into some unsuspecting park goer.

"AGH! Thon of a bitch!" You shouted, rubbing your already sore head, you migraines had been excruciating leading up to the swirling vortex, and slamming your head into the ground DIDN'T help them.

===> Get yelled at.

"HEY! Fuckhead, get off me!" The man under you squirmed before shoving you off and onto the ground. "Damn! Watch where you're falling!" He continued yelling as he stood up. The man didn't look ANYTHING like a troll, an alien maybe? He was tall and wore a blue striped sweater.

"Who the fuck are you?" You ask, probably sounding ticked off, because you were. Headaches did WONDERS to your already fluctuating mood, and this dickwad pushing you around made your sour mood worse.

"Tycho." He said, sounding rather annoyed, but he reached down to give you a hand. You smack it away, you were a troll, you didn't need help. You stand up on your own, fixing your glasses. "What about you, lord Douchebag." They Tycho person asked.

"Thollux." This person seemed a lot like someone you knew well, Karkat specifically. "Thollux Captor."

[irradiatedmongoose]

Gabe grumbled under his breath as he wandered around the strange park. It had been at least an hour since that stupid vortex had opened up, and dropped him... Well, where ever this was. He hadn't seen Tycho since then, so he must have not had been thrown threw some crazy portal like he had been.

A familiar voice made him look around, to see a very familiar looking person arguing with what looked like some sort of grey demon, maybe? But there was no doubt the other man was Tycho: Well, actually there was. It looked like him, but he was wearing some really weird blue shirt with a stripe on it, and he appeared to have shaved off his sideburns? Well, either way, he looked way too much like Tycho to not be like him.

His attention now turned to the angry grey demon-looking guy that seemed to be scowling at Tycho. They both seemed pretty angry, so perhaps they were fighting? And considering Gabe was hired to punch demons, well, he should probably get on that. Pushing up his sleeves, he charged at the gray devil, yelling the whole way like a ferocious man-bear.

[kisashika]

The troll and human were distracted from their short banter by the hairy man-being shouting and running at Sollux, fists bared. Tycho blinked not once, but twice, he could SWEAR that it was Gabe shrieking like a bat-beast while lunging towards this.... Alien thing. Honestly, Tycho was getting used to the settings of this place and all it's strange inhabitants- especially after running into Homestar and many of the various other beings that lived here. But, about Gabe, Tycho thought he ditched Gabe back at their apartment so he could "bond" with their roomies while he took a breather away from the chaos.

But, there he was. In some ridiculous 20s get up, covered in hair, like some lavishly sophisticated big-foot, wailing like a cat in heat. Wait- when did he find the time to grow so much hair and buy ridiculous clothes like that?

"Gabe?" Tycho asked, who he assumed was his screeching best friend.

Sollux was extremely unamused by this human-beasts insufferable howling and used his psychic abilities to lift him off his feet. "Will you SHUT UP?" Sollux growled, getting ever-so more irritated by all the commotion- he just wanted a moment of quiet so he could THINK properly and try to figure out where the hell he was.

[irradiatedmongoose]

Gabriel was taken by surprise as he was lifted off of his feet mid-charge, and being dangled in the air. He continued to swing wildly at thin air, as if it would somehow get him back on the ground. He noticed Tycho was just standing there, staring at him, bewildered.

"Hey, instead of staring at me like a dumbass, why don't you take that guy out with your guns like you usually do? Or at least hit him over the head with that stupid oversized book you carry around everywhere?!" Gabe shouted at Tycho.

[kisashika]

"Uh...." Tycho was taken back by Gabe's outburst. "Because I left my gun and books back at the apartment, dumbass." He retorted with a snort, shoving his hands in his pockets. "You know, I came out here to get away from you and your retarded antics, right Gabe? A man can only handle to much stupid for one day."

"You know thith athole?" Sollux said, deapan. Just what he needed, TWO jerks who knew eachother, bantering like an old married couple.

"Yes, sadly. But I have no idea why he's dressed up like some brute from the 20s, trying to attack you." Tycho rolled his eyes. "Usually he'd be up all in your shit, trying to figure out what you are. Which brings up a curious question- WHAT are you?"

It was the Gemini's turn to roll his eyes, though they were hidden behind bi-colored shades. "A Troll. And I'm athuming you're humanth? You two theem to fit the dethription KK gave me. Thave thith one ith a lot hairier than what he thaid." Sollux boredly dropped Gabe to the ground not taking him as much of a threat.

[irradiatedmongoose]

Gabe momentarily stopped flailing, and raised an eyebrow at Tycho's statement about coming here to get away from him. "Wait, wait. Are you saying you opened these crazy ass portals that dropped us in here? Does this have anything to do with that 'Apocalyptics' shit you studied, or whatever?" He asked.

"Yeah, I know him- he hired me, and I'm supposed to punch demons, like you, for him," Gabriel replied, glaring at Sollux. The bear-man let out a grunt as he hit the ground after Sollux had released him.

[kisashika]

Tycho looked at Gabe like he was crazy and it SEEMED that he actually was. "Apocalyptics? Hired? Punching Demons? Johnathan Gabriel, what the HELL did Shackles give you while I was gone?" He asked, accusingly. Gabe had obviously consumed something that wasn't good for his health if he was running around punching people like some fur-lined golem. Tycho walked over to the grounded bear-man and gave him a scolding glare. "I'm never leaving you alone in this place again." He gave Gabe a firm kick to the side.

"THPEAKING of thith plathe- you theem to know thtuff about it. Where the hell are we?" Sollux intruded on the heartwarming display of Kismesistude. "Becauth I would really like to know where exactly I've been tranthported to tho I can find a way back." He folded his arms, honestly, he couldn't care less about getting back, but he did have "friends" back on Alternia.

Tycho grunted and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Dimensional Island. Specifically, we're in Portal Park." Sollux nodded his head.

"Alright, I gueth that antherth my quethtion. But, where exactly ith 'Dimenthional Ithalnd'?" Tycho shrugged.

"I don't know, it's just kinda' floating in the middle of where every universe meets." After a debating moment, Tycho leaned over and held a hand out for Gabe. What ever drugs he was on couldn't be good for him.

[irradiatedmongoose]

Gabriel's expression became even more confused than usual, as Tycho continued. "What? YOU'RE the one who sounds like their on something. How can you not remember all of that? You went to college for your stupid degree in Apocalyptics, for fuck's sake! And who the hell is 'Shackles'?" Gabe retorted, trying to figure out who would name their kid that.

"Ow!" Gabe grunted, slightly wincing. "Wait, what do you mean 'you're never leaving me alone here again?' I haven't even been here for like, an hour!"

Dusting himself off as he got up, Gabe raised an eyebrow at Tycho as he explained Dimensional Island. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. You said you didn't know anything about apocalyptics, but this sounds like all that weird shit you used to talk about. What the hell is going on?" Gabe asked.

[kisashika]

"Okay, Gabe, you're starting to really piss me off." Tycho said, rubbing his temples. Then he remembered something that robot bar tender and Thel had said, about there being the possibility of running into alternate versions of yourself or others. Tycho looked over this alternate Gabe again, well at least it wasn't that horrendous British version, which he was positive existed, and hoped he'd never meet.

"I don't know what your babbling about, but if you've only been here an hour, it's only safe to assume that you are not the same Gabe I know- but one from a completely different universe. And I am not the same Tycho that you know." He explained, hoping that this Gabe would understand what he'd said.

"What the fuck?" Sollux frowned, this place seemed almost illogical. "That dothent make any thenthe." He felt another headache coming on.

[irradiatedmongoose]

Upon the mentioning of alternate versions of oneself, Gabe only became more confused for a moment, but after that kind of interested- did that mean there was another version of him running around, like this hairless, somehow douchebaggier version of Tycho he was faced with?

"So there's, like, another me running around here? ... Is he good at punching stuff too?" Gabe asked hesitantly.

[kisashika]

"Yes, and I can only hope your Tycho eventually finds you." Tycho said. "But, no, he's not very good a punching things. His abilities lie in drawing and tri-syllable words. And maybe the occasional video-game." Tycho stopped degrading his best friend there, it just wasn't the same as doing it to his face, even though his face was right there- but it was a different Gabe and.... Fuck, this alternate versions stuff was getting confusing.

"You said you landed here alone? The other me didn't come with you?"

"Hey, if you two are done arguing, would mithter talkth too much kindly direct me to the nearetht exthit? 'Cuth I'm a very bithy troll with thingth vathtly more important than watching you two get your black on." Sollux butted in again, growing increasingly bored with this meaningless universe talk; he gets enough shit about universes from his bi-colored eyes.

Tycho just rolled his eyes at the alien-troll kid and pointed at the nearby sidewalk. "Just follow the yellow brick road. Happy trails, partner, don't forget to call."

Sollux just ignored the comments and started along the concrete pathway. He couldn't get away from those two annoying humans fast enough.

[irradiatedmongoose]

Gabe was slightly disappointed that his alternate self wasn't as fond of beating up stuff like him; if they were to meet, they'd have to find some other common ground. Perhaps they would have their hatred for Tycho's words that are too long to share?

"No, he didn't- I don't think so at least. I didn't see him drop through one of those portals when I did," He answered.

[kisashika]

"Then it looks like we're stuck together until he comes out of hiding. If I know myself, he would be in the right mind to hide." Tycho straitened up. "Alright, first things first, we have to get you out of those dreadful gloomy clothes, Gabe. We aren't in the twenties, nor is everything in a sepia tone. I'm sure my Gabe has some clothes you can wear, since you two are the same person, you should share a common interest in clothes design." He started to walk away before stopping and turning back to the other Johnathan, waiting for him to follow.

"And by the way, don't let him rub off on you. You don't seem to be quite as corrupted as Gabe on the imbecile gauge. But his stupidity can be quite contagious at times."

[irradiatedmongoose]

"Fine, whatever you say," Gabe replies, with a shrug. He follows after Tycho, while looking around, taking in how different this place was. It certainly was much brighter than New Arcadia- It was actually somewhat refreshing.
Gabe wasn't quite sure how to take Tycho's comment. While on one side he was being given credit for not being quite as dumb as Tycho thought he would be, he's also informing him of how dumb his alternate self was, which is technically still him, so would he still be calling him dumb? Gabe shook the thought from his head, as all of this 'alternate self' stuff was starting to give him a headache.
