KANKRI: Hell9. D9 I kn9w y9u? I d9 n9t 6elieve we have met 6ef9re.
♋: I d♋n't believe we have.
KANKRI: Y9u d9 l99k s9mewhat familiar, h9wever. And y9u appear t9 6e quirking y9ur text with the sym69l my dancest9r karkat 6ears 9n his attire. W9uld y9u 6y any chance have any relati9n t9 him? Familial 9r 9therwise?
♋: I am his Ancest♋r. Kn♋wn by many as Signless ♋r after my death Sufferer. Where I was finally given my sign.
KANKRI: Y9u are his ancest9r? Truly? Hm..
KANKRI: It is t9 my understanding that, in s9me twisted way, y9u might p9ssi6ly 6e..
KANKRI: Well, t9 put it quite simply and 6luntly..
♋: Yes. But the name D♋l♋r♋sa gave me is Carmine.
♋: Well..that is interesting.
♋: Th♋ugh I d♋ see the resemblance.
KANKRI: Excuse me if i am inc9rrect, 6ut i 6elieve that, after carefully researching many t9mes 9f ancient 6ef9rus and alternian culture, there was a n96le her9 wh9 went 6y the pers9na 9f "The Sufferer" 9r "The Signless". N9w, far 6e it fr9m me t9 judge such a ch9ice as 69ld and signifigant as hiding 9ne's identity, and it is sad that y9u had t9 d9 s9, truly, 6ut i w9uld like t9 p9litely 96ject t9 such a ch9ice. I 6ear this text c9l9ur and even my very cl9thing t9 sh9w my pride in my unique and special 6l99d c9l9ur, as well as my clear 96jecti9n t9 the hem9spectrum itself.
KANKRI: C9uld y9u als9 perhaps descri6e this "D9l9r9sa" individual t9 me? While i did d9 much research, my mem9ry is n9t quite the 6est there is, while it d9es have its shining m9ments in the field 9f s9cial justice, my hist9rical kn9wlege is very rusty and underused. I am curi9us as t9 what y9ur relati9n t9 her is, and what right that gave her t9 6rand y9u with a name that may 9r may n9t have 6een y9ur 9wn.
♋: Well D♋l♋r♋sa was...the elder tr♋ll wh♋ f♋und me when I was n♋thing but grub. T♋ put it simply she was my Lusus. She gave me the name because it happens t♋ be the name ♋f a certain shade ♋f red. n♋t my bl♋♋d c♋l♋r t♋ be exact. But I l♋ve my name.
KANKRI: Well, it j9ys me t9 see my p9tential future/past self sh9wing at least s9me pride in the c9l9ur 9f his 6l99d! 6ut tell me this, why w9uld s9me9ne as indipendant, 69ld and s9cially c9rrect as me/y9u even c9nsider hiding this red 6l99d that we were 6lessed with at 6irth? N9t t9 put the 9ther c9l9urs 9f the hem9spercrum d9wn, 9f c9urse, heavens n9, 6ut merely t9 emphasize that there is n9thing in the c9l9ur 9f 9ne's 6l99d t9 6e ashamed 9f. The c9ntent is purely what pumps thr9ugh 9ur veins t9 keep us alive, and n9thing m9re.
♋: It was n♋t my ch♋ice t♋ hide my c♋l♋r. D♋l♋r♋sa has raised me fr♋m a Grub t♋ what I am n♋w. And had asked me t♋ be secretive ab♋ut my bl♋♋d. I was hesistant ab♋ut it. But her l♋ve f♋r me as her s♋n made he s♋ happy s♋ I did nt♋ want her t♋ w♋rry m♋re than she needed t♋ ab♋ut the day they w♋uld find me.
♋: Sadly I let my self get caught by saving a grub ♋n the l♋wer area ♋f the hem♋specturm and the Swubjuggulat♋r wh♋ caught me...well..that didn't end well.
♋: Alth♋ugh he left me ♋n the gr♋und...D♋l♋r♋sa happened t♋...sc♋ld me.
KANKRI: Excuse me f9r this 6reif interrupti9n, i am genuinely interested in this truly mind-69ggling st9ry! 6ut i must ask, f9r the simple reas9n 9f reassurance 9ver whether 9r n9t y9u are myself fr9m the future 9r the past, 6ut d9 y9u remem6er this d9l9r9sa's exact name? Als9, d9 y9u remem6er her carefully crafting a sweater much like the 9ne i wear right this m9ment f9r y9ur wriggling day? While these things may n9t seem imp9rtant right n9w, 9ne w9uld 6e surprised at the am9unt 9f clarity that can 6e achieved 6y answering even the m9st trivial 9f questi9ns.
♋: I sadly did n♋t kn♋w her name. I either called her R♋sa ♋r M♋ther.I recall a sweater, but then again she made what I am wearing right n♋w. even the cl♋ak with a additi♋n ♋f a clasp ♋f my sign.
KANKRI: Perhaps y9u c9uld reveal her 6l99d c9l9ur? I think i am 6eginning t9 make a stunning relati9n 6etween her and 9ne 9f my friends.
KANKRI: Jade 6l99d? Why, that is the exact c9l9ur 9f the very individual i am thinking 9f! P9rrim Maryam, t9 6e exact! I swear, s9metimes she treats me like a gru6. It d9es frustrate me, 6ut her 6ehavi9ur t9wards me resem6les that 9f a human "M9ther" quite c9mm9nly. It is em6arassing at times, 6ut i kn9w that she is 9nly caring f9r me in her 9wn unique way. Far 6e it fr9m me t9 judge her f9r the ways in which she c9mmunicates her acts 9f kindness and c9mpassi9n.
♋: -he n♋ds sl♋wly- I see. I believe I've met Ms. P♋rrim. She was nice t♋ talk t♋. \
KANKRI: I am still trying t9 peg what p9int in my lifetime y9u are fr9m, exactly..
KANKRI: Its truly mind69ggling t9 meet y9urself and n9t kn9w when y9u were even that pers9n, partially due t9 the fact that y9u have 6een dead f9r h9wever many sweeps, and y9ur mem9ry has 6ec9me 6ey9nd unfaithful 6ecause 9f time that has 6een passed.
♋: Well ♋bvi♋usly if I am y♋u and y♋u are me. it c♋uld mean I am p♋ssibly fr♋m an alternate timeline. But we will n♋t find it ♋ut. But I can say that since my sign was unkn♋wn f♋r s♋ many sweeps and that it was given t♋ me the day I died in fr♋nt ♋f many ♋f the ♋ther tr♋lls wh♋ f♋ll♋wed my w♋rds ♋f a way int♋ a w♋rld ♋f bl♋♋d equality I'm sure we can find ♋ut thr♋ugh that. But I am unsure .
KANKRI: Erm. My ap9l9gies 6ut.. I d9 6elieve 9ur time t9gether is gr9wing sh9rt f9r n9w.
KANKRI: I will try my 6est t9 get 6ack in t9uch with y9u 9ne way 9r an9ther.
♋: Is that s♋? I see. What a shame. I enj♋yed this chat
KANKRI: Likewise. I f9und it t9 6e quite educati9nal.
