Past Jay: haha your gender is fluid like the water i get it. thats funny

Past Nya: ... oh

DR Lloyd: anyone else want to give their past self a crisis?

DR Cole: nah, i feel like nya and keahi have done enough

Keahi: giggles

DR Nya: chuckles

Past Lloyd: you guys are weird

Frak: wait i remember my parents telling me about The Great Devourer

Frak: how some maniac we dont associate with did it and if i ever saw him i run away

DR Lloyd: honestly? solid advice. wish i knew that

Arin: my parents saw it happen! thankfully they were okay

Sora: whats... the great devourer? is that another ninjago legend thing?

Arin: we really need to give you and wyldfyre a history lesson

DR Zane: i will prepare one

DR Zane: the great devourer was an evil snake that bit garmadon (lloyds father) that was trapped underground. pythor, who was released by lloyd, wanted to unleash the great devourer as revenge for the

people of ninjago locking away the serpentine in tombs. garmadon helped us defeat it. please see me later for a more detailed explanation

Sora: okayyyy

Past Jay: how does she not know?

Sora: im not from ninjago

Past Jay: huh?

Frak: WAIT LLOYD THAT WAS YOU WHO RELEASED THE SERPENTINE? I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FOOLISH CHILD WHO RELEASED US

Past Lloyd: i said i was sorry :(

DR Lloyd: we asked skales and acidicus to change it to just a child out of respect to keep peace between us ninja and them. and also i was embarrassed

Past Kai: you let a serpentine onto the team?

Past Jay: yeah why? thats kinda yikes

Past Nya: be nice im sure they had a reason to let him on

Frak: :,)

Frak: Youve ever been heartbroken by ur heroes before?

Past Cole: is there a reason to let a serpentine on the team?

DR Lloyd: hey. be nice to frak. weve made peace with the serpentine

DR Cole: yeah, cut it out, fraks a good kid

DR Cole: times are different now

Keahi: forgot about snake racism

Past Lloyd: :/

Frak: thanks guys, its been a while since thats happened

Sora: i am once again confused. Also i just heard wyldfyre threaten to bite something?

Wyldfyre: KILL

Keahi: NO

Keahi: NO KILLING RANDOM NINJAGO CITIZENS WHO ARE STUCK IN THEIR WAYS

Keahi: no biting either!!!!!

Wyldfyre: BUT AHIIII, HEATWAVE SAYS ITS OKAY

DR Zane: i do not think heatwave should be listened to when it comes to human relations

Keahi: HES LITERALLY A DRAGON??

Wyldfyre: AND MY DAD

Keahi: JSUT BECAUSE HES YOUR DAD DOESNT MEAN ITS OKAY?

DR Lloyd: PLEASE do not bite people you dont know

DR Cole: you bit jay

DR Lloyd: YOU PUT ME ON A POLE

Past Jay: deserved

Past Lloyd: HEY

DR Lloyd: honestly it was a little

Past Cole: im so confused. what do you mean her dads a dragon? what do you mean sora isnt from ninjago? there are other elements other than ours? why werent we told that

Wyldfyre: I WAS RAISED BY DRAGONS. I WAS BORN IN THE WYLDNESS, I THINK. I DONT KNOW HOW I WAS BORN.

DR Cole: theres like 16 realms and we know all but 3 of them

DR Cole: as for elements, wu wanted us to believe we were special

Sora: im from imperium! its better than it used to be

Keahi: theres a lot that you guys dont know. a whole lot more

Keahi: by the way, this wont cause any timeline issues would it?

Sora: i mean.. it shouldnt?

DR Zane: i do not think so. this appears to be some sort of isolated issue. we would know if it affected anything. this is not like when we dealt with the twins.

DR Nya: good

DR Cole: nya pronoun check btw?

DR Nya: she/her  👍

DR Cole: swag

DR Nya: never say that again

past jay: agreed

past jay: why isnt future me here?

PIXAL: you were not.

past cole: Reply to: @Cole: its okay we got better

DR Nya: LOL

Keahi: CJDNZNX

DR Cole: wow its been a really long time since ive heard that

DR Zane: you get used to it. and also stop caring, same thing with the swearing. 

DR Zane: It is just not worth it to correct them.

DR Lloyd: the day zane made his first spelling error was glorious

past jay: wait i want to see zane make a spelling error

past zane: No.

past jay: lame

past kai: does zane swear too?

Sora: ALLL THE TIME

DR Lloyd: yes

DR Nya: yup

Keahi: yeah and the first time he did was also really funny

DR Cole: wasnt it because his voice box was damaged?

DR Nya: he called jay a bastard in a pirate voice

DR Zane: jay gave me a pirate voice because of my damaged voice box, yes.

DR Zane: i make no promises!

DR Zane: I am joking :)

Arin: zane....

Frak: the jokes are funny but when he actually does manage to severely injur himself i do have to wonder if theres something else going on

DR Zane: i do not mean to concern you, jay used to make those jokes a lot too

Rogue: i what

Rogue: Actually that makes sense. Working in an office will do that to you.

Past Jay: i do what?

DR Zane: it was out of humor, every time anything inconvenienced him he would say it.

Past Zane: @DR Zane Is it possible for our gears to hurt?

Sora: that is... a very concerning message!

DR Zane: Reply to: @Past Zane: @DR Zane Is it possible for our gears to hurt? 

ah... it did hurt when they locked up, yes. it has been a while since that happened

DR Zane: sora, my old body was severely outdated.

DR Zane: how I was even still functioning was a miracle

Sora: just hearing about it hurts me

DR Zane: I may still have my old blueprints if you would like to look at them?

Sora: YES!! I would love to!

Past Zane: I... am sorry for the condition of my body?

DR Zane: do not apologize. it is not something you can really fix right now

DR Cole:💥

DR Nya: cole...

DR Cole: whatttt

DR Nya: Stop that

Keahi: Reply to: @DR Zane:  i do not mean to concern you, jay used to make those jokes a lot too

DR Lloyd: And now that she lives with us, im sure she’d love to teach you alongside riyu

Wyldfyre: OH RIGHT. ALL ASK HER

Past Cole: Rontu?

Keahi: A dragon master! She and her mate taught us how to use an ancient fighting style. She lives with us cause she felt she was too lonely back at her old home.
