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.

[alternia_strength]

D --> Please do not test sarcasm today Karkat
D --> That is really not funny
D --> Why would today be any different than the last time

[He suspected something was wrong, but he had no idea that he wasn't THAT strong anymore.]

[cancerass]

WHAT SARCASM?

Text

[alternia_strength]

D --> I will break the bow just like all days
D --> Why would anything be different

Text

[cancerass]

OH.
I GUESS I MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER.
SURE THEN.

Text

[alternia_strength]

D --> Unfortunate but true
D --> However I have learned a new trick with the bow I never thought to use before

Text

[cancerass]

OH?

Text

[alternia_strength]

D --> It is not very appropriate
D --> I will save it for if I must use it
D --> And not before

Text

[cancerass]

YEAH. THAT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST.

Text

[alternia_strength]

D --> Very well then
D --> Do you require anything of me in the meantime
D --> Anything at all

[Not one, measly little order he can obsess over and imply is so much more perverse than it is?]

Re: Text

NOPE. NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF.

Text

[alternia_strength]

D --> Then I will wait for your orders
D --> With bated breath
