WELP.

THIS SURE IS GREAT.

I LOVE BEING UPROOTED FROM ONE SHITTY SITUATION TO ANOTHER, MORE ASININE ONE. MOST DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE THING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. ASK ANYONE.

SO, WHAT? I GUESS I LIVE HERE NOW?? WHATEVER. I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SAYING HELLO TO EVERYBODY, BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.

[Karkat probably doesn't have time to actually say anything because there's suddenly a shout.] Karkat? Karkat! [The video feed is probably a blur of motion with lots of greys, blacks, and reds. There's a face that hasn't been around recently. Aradia has bounded over to Karkat and is basically invading all his personal space.]

When did you get here? Have you talked to Sollux or anyone else? A lot of our friends are here you know! You have to tell me what point of the timeline you're from.

[Aradia had lost her bracelet and is pretty much oblivious to what's been happening as of late.] I guess we got here at the same time! I mean I was here earlier but I lost my bracelet hehe.

ARADIA, STOP. I ONLY GOT LIKE HALF OF THAT--

HANG ON.

D --> The Dave-human is almost tolerable when he is not posturing
D --> Rose is strange
D --> It is like speaking with Kanaya sometimes

[adventuretime]

i think theyre a lot of fun :)
but i guess that might just be me

[alternia_strength]

D --> Well I do not often think in terms of fun
D --> Nepeta would likely chide me for it
D --> But that all seems so frivolous

[adventuretime]

someone needs to let go a bit
frivolous isnt all that bad
it might seem scary at first but i promise it doesnt hurt :)

[She's definitely teasing him.]

[alternia_strength]

D --> Someone is suggesting that I should let go
D --> You always make the most questionable of suggestions and yet I end up following through with them

[And as usual, he wasn't catching on.]

[adventuretime]

just have fun!
sheesh
i can just picture nepetas reprimanding face :)

[alternia_strength]

D --> I
D --> You
D --> Nepeta
D --> Wait

D --> What

D --> I am not sure what just happened

[Explanation: He just tried to figure out whether or not she'd implied she was his moirail, and that had devloved into him imagining her with Nepeta's face.

It went downhill from there. He's desperately confused.]

[adventuretime]

...
what?
im not sure what happened either

[alternia_strength]

D --> No
D --> I am confusing myself
D --> That is the only possible e%planation
D --> The alternative makes no logical sense
D --> I apologize

[Dooooodging the question. Badly.]

[adventuretime]

o...kay?
if theres something you want to talk about
we can talk about it!

[alternia_strength]

D --> I am unsure what there is to speak of
D --> Perhaps that is the comple%ity that I am struggling with
D --> I could speak with Nepeta first and come to you later perhaps

[adventuretime]

take your time!
hehehe
we have a lot of that now :)

[alternia_strength]

D --> Yes
D --> Ample Time
D --> We should speak again later in that case

[adventuretime]

im fine with that
im usually around except when im not!
like when i lost my bracelet

[alternia_strength]

D --> Do try to avoid that in the future
D --> It isn't healthy you know

[adventuretime]

i didnt try to lose it!
i just did

[alternia_strength]

D --> I understand
D --> Just consider it a little light concern

[adventuretime]

its surprisingly easy to lose it
even when you know what happens when you do lose it

[alternia_strength]

D --> Perhaps it is a trick
D --> These creatures do like to toy with us after all

[adventuretime]

i wouldnt be surprised!
but we do eventually come back
well except when we just end up going home
that happens too

[alternia_strength]

D --> For as much as they require us they are e%plicitly untrustworthy
D --> Are they not

[adventuretime]

they havent done anything to me for me not to really not trust them? :(
but then again!
im just excited to see what happens
you dont want to see how this war will end?

[alternia_strength]

D --> Trustworthy or not
D --> I am fully committed to seeing it through
D --> I want to see the culmination
D --> It should be glorious

[adventuretime]

itll be great!
it makes me wish that i could hear the dead again

[alternia_strength]

D --> Would that not become cacophanous
D --> There will be dead everywhere
D --> Piles and piles of them
