2009: 3 pages. John captchalogues the punched captchalogued captchalogue card, violently ejecting the PDA from his sylladex, but Rose saves it just in time with a SWEET CATCH. John then recaptchalogues the PDA, which ejects the old copy of Colonel Sassacre's, right through the wall and onto an unsuspecting imp. The narration notes that "the two card sylladex" is the "inventory of dumbasses". Slaying the imp does, however, allow John to LEVEL UP, allowing up to ascend to the PESKY URCHIN rung on his ECHELADDER.
Editor's note: memo summaries have been spoiler'd for brevity. 2010: 5 pages. "I THINK I SET THIS UP RIGHT" begins Karkat's first memo on the TEAM ADORABLOODTHIRSTY bulletin board.
The board indicates when, relative to the current time of viewing, the comments were made, referring to these statuses as the "past", "current", and "future". Thus, "P", "C", or "F" is prepended to the user's trolltag, so Karkat writing in the past is "PCG". The software indicates when a particular user logged into the board. For instance, Karkat started the memo 6 hours and 12 minutes ago, while the first person to respond was Terezi, who did so from Karkat's future but still 5 hours and 51 minutes in our past, so she is still indicated as "PGC". Confusing enough yet? Karkat thinks so as well, and urges the others to not use the memo as a chatroom, which will prove to fail spectacularly. He first lays down that there is only one team and that he assumed leadership over it, and since he has already read the entire board, he also knows that at some point in the future he will succeed and chalks it up to his fantastic leadership. While pondering whether he can avoid typing any of the stuff he already read from the future, Sollux pops in to sum the whole thing up: "[you] ba2iically ju2t babble about paradoxe2 and argue wiith your2elf for hundred2 of page2 heheheh". Apparently Sollux connects at a point just as the VAST GLUB occurs and he has to get Feferi into the game, but Karkat writes off this as more bullshit and continues. Karkat continues about how important he is in when 612-hours-in-the-future Karkat connect to bemoan how embarrassing this is, and promptly gets banned. Karkat reiterates: "LEADER = ME FOREVER, OBVIOUSLY" and tries to leave when the Equius from RIGHT NOW connects and says that he still doesn't "recognize the validity of your leadership", reiterates what Sollux said earlier about the board mostly consisting of "you from various points in time raving about nonsense and arguing with yourself", and that "this bulletin has come to be regarded as something of a joke". Karkat just responds by pointing out Equius's weakness: "THIS EXCITES YOU, BEING THE TOUGH GUY AND PRETENDING LIKE YOU'RE PUTTING THE AWESOME LEADER IN HIS PLACE. YOU'RE PROBABLY WORKING UP A GOOD SWEAT." Equius asks how Karkat knows about this, and then realizes he knows from that very memo.
Meanwhile, we get to see one-side of Terezi's on-going conversation with her exile: "WH4T 4BOUT TH3 QU33N J4CK W4S H3LP1NG US 3X1L3 H3R SO... BOTH??? >:\". She switches from red chalk to sky blue chalk, which prompts the exile to ask why, and she says simply: "R3D 1S TH3 B3ST AND T4ST3S TH3 B3ST". The exile can only respond "You are a strange and funny girl" as she licks the aforementioned chalk. Also in the present, Karkat begins another memo on the board, apparently in some ruins at the time typing away as Jack holds up a torch.
Karkat begins with the usual warnings to everyone else to shut up and listen to to his instructions to prepare for OPERATION REGISURP, which is exactly when Future Eridan messages the board saying he can't get ahold of Karkat in the future and he's got a problem "wwith feferi". Karkat relacantly bans him and continues. He thinks he's good to go which is when Future (as in, 609 hours hence) Vriska interrupts and assures him that thanks to her usurping the queen easy and that this whole build-up is hilarious. Karkat finds it less so, as he doesn't take kindly to the message from the future: "BECAUSE AS IT TURNS OUT, IN THE FUTURE ALL THAT STUFF ALREADY HAPPENED. WE'RE OFF THE FUCKING HOOK!" After something about "autoerogenous shame globes", pondering Vriska's unfortunate abbreviated future trolltag "FAG", and banning himself from 20 minutes in the future, Tavros from 38 minutes in the past replies, saying he could use some help "aBOUT A THING THAT HAS TO DO WITH A GIRL". Tavros explains the situation we have witnessed previously, with the Pupa Pan costumes and the kissing and whatnot, but his haltering typing quirk makes the whole thing sound even more fucked up than it already is. He's also being yelled at by his exile but he doesn't know what to call it. Karkat reminds him that this is all public and anyone could read it, including Vriska, but he figures that's okay and just wants to let her know that "i DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HER FEELINGS". Karkat reminds him that she could read it anywhere in the past and present, "COMPLETELY DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF YOUR SPINELESS MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE APOLOGY". Which is right when Vriska from 8 minutes in the past responds. She tells Karkat to shut up and lets Tavros know that it's okay in: "Anyway, though totally unnecessary, your apology is accepted." She tells him to "pick yourself off the floor" but "remembers" that he can't, so she tells him to "w8 a few minutes for your timeframe to catch up with mine." Karkat bans them both: "THERE, GREAT, ANOTHER HAPPY COUPLE IN WHATEVER HIDEOUS QUADRANT THIS BATSHIT PAIRING WILL SUSTAIN" and tries to get back on message, but fails and then himself from 609 hours in the future bans himself from the memo.
2011: No update.
2012: No update.
A quick note: On the 30th, there is another playable flash (well, technically it was in HTML5) and 2012 updates resume. I have been extremely busy at work the past couple of months and pretty much only able to post TIH on-time because, well, there hadn't been anything new to write. I am also going to PAX this weekend, pretty much working until I get on the plane. I will do a "Let's Play!" style update for the playable updates, as I have done in the past. (My eventual goal is to have a LP-style write-up for all playable flashes, especially since there's no way to search the text in the actual flashes.) I think they should be quicker since I won't have to transcribe all of the text, but I still have to take the screenshots and write the posts. So basically, I will try to do it, but it may not happen until after the 30th. Thanks again for indulging me here.
