Welcome to my apartment. I trust you'll find my voice is more palatable against this decor. I continue to be an excellent host. I'm expecting two more guests later. First one, and then another. Make yourself comfortable in the meantime. But don't touch the candy on the table. That is reserved for one of my guests. Let's have a look at this disc. She really did a number on it, didn't she? It's virtually unplayable like this. What a shame. There are many moments trapped on this disc which you would have no doubt found to be quite exhilarating. But yes, I can fix it. It will take time, though. I estimate, by which I mean I am certain by way of omniscience, that when I am done we will have reached just shy of the green circle on the card above. I'm sure you have already presumed this mark represents the beginning of Act 6. The disc should be ready to run in time to witness the Critical Event, a confluence of thickly interwoven, aconcurrent circumstances which have been meticulously arranged by myself, influenced to a much lesser extent by you, and by an even more negligible degree, our heroes. The scratch will be healed in time to watch these heroes put into motion, yes, The Scratch itself. If you don't mind waiting here while I complete my repairs, I will tell the rest of the story. I will show you as well, as I recover data from the disc. But the visuals I supply will be nothing more than abbreviated snapshots, and my telling will be abridged. Immortality notwithstanding, I'm not going to live forever, you know. And since for once in my life, time is at a premium, let's get on with it. Where were we...

Background

Doc Scratch is a major character in Homestuck. He was born out of Lil' Cal, and is Alternia's first guardian. He gives numerous characters information about what is happening around them, and about the event known as the Scratch, which is a hard reboot on existence.

After a scratch in reality happens, the reader visits Doc Scratch in order to repair "the disc of reality". Doc then tells the story while the disc is being repaired, up onto nearly the end of Act 5. He is then ambushed by Andrew Hussie and turned into a lifeless puppet. However, at Act 5 Intermission 2 ([S]: Begin Intermission 2 to be exact), it is revealed that Doc Scratch is Lord English's vessel, and Doc Scratch manipulated Rose into using the tumor, lying to her that it would destroy the Green Sun. In truth, it does the opposite; It kills two universes which causes the birth of the Green Sun, so that when Lord English comes into the dead universe, he is powered up.

Doc Scratch's last words is "S U C K E R S .", in reference to how he fooled the main characters
