[09:15] GA: *Kanaya has emotionally rebounded from her strange talk with Vriska and is ready to set out once again on her original mission, which was to see her pal Karkat. She exits her room with the intention of knocking on his door, but...*

[09:19] CG: *but indeed. karkat was just approaching the dial to go to his room, when kanaya comes out. as a result... BUMP.* AH. SHIT. *backpedals real quick* WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOOO-- OH SORRY, KANAYA.

[09:20] GA: *She smiles and holds up a hand in a quelling gesture.* Its Okay

[09:21] GA: I Was Looking For You Anyway

[09:29] CG: *rubs his arm and smiles apologetically* WELL. GOOD. COOL. DO YOU WANT TO TALK OUT HERE OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?

[09:39] GA: Anywhere Is Fine

[09:39] GA: Except Here

[09:39] GA: Because We Might Run Into People

[09:39] GA: Which Could Be A Perfectly Nice Experience But Also Could Not Be

[09:43] CG: THEN ALSO NOT WHERE THE FOOD IS. OKAY. *now he can go to the dial and switch it to his symbol, and the door opens* LET'S GO IN HERE, THEN. WHY WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME? *asks as he goes into his room. let us journey to privacy*

[09:47] GA: *She follows him into his room. She loves journeying to privacy.*

[09:47] GA: I Heard Youve Been Doing Some Interesting Things Lately

[09:51] CG: *and the door closes* IF BY INTERESTING, YOU MEAN INDUCING TERRIBLE ACHES IN MY OWN PAN ON AN ALL TOO FREQUENT BASIS.

[09:53] GA: I Take It The Game Has Not Been As Fun As It Didnt Seem

[09:54] CG: BASICALLY.

[09:57] GA: Not Even The Fashion Game

[09:57] GA: *She looks really put out.*

[09:59] CG: *stops short. opens his mouth. closes it again.* OKAY. THAT ONE WAS... NOT TERRIBLE.

[09:59] GA: *Relief.*

[09:59] GA: What Else Did You Participate In

[10:01] CG: I DIDN'T PLAY ANY OTHER GAMES. *sits on the edge of his bed* I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THE LEADER GROOVE.

[10:02] GA: I Suppose Its Been Hard

[10:02] GA: Things Have Changed

[10:02] GA: A Lot

[10:10] CG: NO FUCKING KIDDING. IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE SIX SWEEPS OLD AGAIN. VRISKA EVEN HAD HER OLD INJURIES. ON THE LIST OF THINGS WE CAN BUY, THERE WAS A WHEELCHAIR AND LEGS, SO TAVROS IS PROBABLY FUCKED TOO. *sighs and drags a hand down his face* WHAT ABOUT YOU?

[10:13] GA: I Have Neither Played Any Of The Games Nor Attempted To Take A Leadership Position

[10:13] GA: However Feferi Did Invite Me To Play The Fashion Game With Her

[10:13] GA: I Think It Will Be A Nice Introduction Into Our Inconvenient New World

[10:16] CG: *makes a little nasty face but quickly goes back to neutral* YEAH. IT'S A GOOD START. JUST. YOU KNOW, DON'T GET TOO FREAKED OUT BY THE MANNEQUINS. THEY WON'T HURT YOU IF YOU GO WHERE THEY WANT YOU TO GO.

[10:21] GA: So Ive Heard From Several Sources

[10:21] CG: RIGHT. OF COURSE YOU HAVE.

[10:22] GA: *She tilts her head at him.*

[10:22] CG: OH. BY THE WAY, I HAD A MEETING WITH THE OTHER LEADER TYPE PEOPLE.

[10:22] GA: How Did That Go

[10:23] CG: IT WAS NOT AS HORRIBLE AS ONE WOULD EXPECT.

[10:23] GA: Great

[10:23] GA: Did You Make The Tough Calls

[10:23] CG: OF COURSE I DID. THAT'S MY JOB.

[10:23] CG: SO.

[10:24] CG: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT PUTTING THE FASHION GAME ON HOLD FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

[10:24] CG: WE WANT TO GATHER MORE RINGS SO WE CAN SAVE UP FOR A FULL RESTORE FOR TAVROS.

[10:24] CG: AND WE WERE THINKING THAT WE'D GET A COUPLE OF TEAMS TO PLAY THE ONLY TWO GAMES NOBODY HAS PLAYED.

[10:25] CG: THEN YOU AND FEFERI CAN TAKE TAVROS INTO DIVINE DESTINATION AFTER WE GET HIM A CHAIR. AND HE CAN BUY THE FULL RESTORE THERE.

[10:25] GA: Oh Okay

[10:25] GA: Sure

[10:25] GA: Whats The Game

[10:26] GA: *Kanaya thinks it is hilariously ironic that she cut off his legs in the first place and now she is helping him get them back.*

[10:26] CG: THE PILLAR ONE. PILLAR OF FALL OR SOMETHING.

[10:26] CG: I'M GONNA ASK NEPETA TO PLAY THAT WITH YOU, IF THAT'S OKAY.

[10:27] GA: All Right

[10:27] GA: Will There Be A Lot Of Falling Involved

[10:27] GA: I Might Need A Change Of Footwear

[10:29] CG: I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT CHANGING SHOES WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA FOR PREPARATION AT LEAST.

[10:29] CG: ACTUALLY, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A PAIR YOU COULD WEAR. I GRABBED SOME ON MY WAY OUT OF THE GAME.

[10:29] CG: *and he searches through his loot*

[10:32] GA: I Also Heard You

[10:32] GA: *She clears her throat.*

[10:32] GA: Collected Some Interesting Clothing In The Game

[10:33] CG: *makes a grossed out face* YEAH... YEAH, THAT HAPPENED.

[10:35] GA: Im Glad Youve Renounced It

[10:36] GA: *She pokes her fingers together and looks at the wall.*

[10:36] GA: I Had Some Interesting Conversations With Vriska Recently

[10:36] CG: *looks up at her with concern* YEAH?

[10:37] CG: HOW DID THAT GO?

[10:37] GA: Badly At First

[10:37] GA: There Were No Casualties But It Was A Close Thing

[10:38] CG: AT FIRST. SO IT GOT BETTER. *a little hope in his voice*

[10:39] GA: I Think So

[10:39] GA: It Was A Very Uncomfortable Encounter

[10:39] GA: But We Both Apologized For Our Behavior

[10:41] CG: OH. THAT'S NOT TERRIBLE.

[10:42] CG: WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE ON DECENT TERMS NOW?

[10:43] GA: Yes I Believe So

[10:43] GA: Im Concerned That Shes Still Harboring Bitter Feelings Towards Me But Shes Being Civil So I Suppose It Doesnt Matter

[10:46] CG: I THINK YOU GUYS WILL BE OKAY. ANYWAY. HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

[10:49] GA: Much Better About This Whole Thing I Think

[10:50] CG: GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.

[10:50] GA: The Tasks Set Before Us Seem Tame In Comparison To Socializing With Previously Dead Friends I Think

[10:51] CG: YEAH. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.

[10:51] CG: DO YOU THINK YOU COULD TELL FEFERI ABOUT THE GAME PLAN?

[10:52] CG: ALSO. WE'RE GIVING ALL THE RINGS TO ROXY FOR SAFE KEEPING UNTIL WE NEED THEM.

[10:52] GA: Roxy Is The Other Female Blonde Human Right

[10:53] CG: YEAH, THAT'S HER.

[10:53] GA: Thats Good

[10:53] GA: She Seems Responsible

[10:53] GA: Ill Make Sure To Tell Feferi

[10:54] CG: THANKS. YOU'RE REALLY HELPING ME OUT.

[10:56] GA: You Must Be Very Busy

[10:56] GA: Ill Get Out Of Your Way

[10:57] CG: OH. WELL. YEAH, OKAY. I'LL SEE YOU LATER, KANAYA.

[10:57] GA: I Hope So

[10:57] GA: You Know Where To Find Me

[10:57] GA: *Exeunt.*

[10:57] CG: *smiles after her goodbye sweet mother type person of mine*

[03:24] TG: ok tell me honestly

[03:24] TG: dont hold back on me just because you care about my feelings

[03:25] TG: did you like the fish at the party

[03:26] CG: THERE WERE WAY TOO MANY FISH AT THAT PARTY. DO YOU THINK I HAD TIME TO LOOK AT THEM ALL? THE FUCKING WALLS WERE MADE OF FISH, DAVE.

[03:26] CG: THEY WERE NICE COLORS. IS THAT SUFFICIENT?

[03:28] TG: what the hell

[03:28] TG: im not talking about those fish

[03:28] TG: im talking about the dead fish

[03:30] CG: OH. YEAH, THAT WAS GOOD. IT WAS PERFECTLY JUICED AND SHIT.

[03:31] TG: thanks bro

[03:31] TG: vantas 2.0 was totally harshing it

[03:32] CG: WHY IN ANY LEVEL OF HELL WOULD YOU ASK HIM ABOUT IT?

[03:33] TG: i didnt

[03:34] TG: i accidentally pestered him because i thought he was you and then i didnt want to be a dick so i asked him what was up

[03:34] TG: and then he proceeded to gordon ramsay all my shit

[03:35] CG: NOT SURPRISING. YOU ACCIDENTALLY PESTERING HIM, I MEAN.

[03:35] CG: WHAT IS SURPRISING IS YOU NOT WANTING TO BE A DICK.

[03:35] TG: whats that supposed to mean

[03:35] TG: hey rude

[03:35] CG: DAVE.

[03:35] CG: DAVE PLEASE.

[03:35] TG: im improving myself as a person

[03:35] TG: its character development ok

[03:36] CG: WHAT DEVELOPMENT DO YOU NEED? YOU'RE A PERFECTLY GOOD BULGECHAFE AS YOU ARE.

[03:37] CG: AND WE BOTH KNOW YOU JUST LOVE BEING A DICK.

[03:37] TG: thanks karkat

[03:38] TG: that means a lot coming from you

[03:38] TG: just kidding because youre a dick too so it doesnt

[03:38] TG: i know YOURE perfectly ok with me being a bulgechafe

[03:40] CG: BITE ME, I KNOW IT MEANS PLENTY TO YOU.

[03:40] CG: WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPROVE YOURSELF NOW? WHAT'S GOT YOU ON THE CRUSADE?

[03:47] TG: i guess i just dont wanna get left behind

[03:47] TG: people skills are important again now that there are more than eight people in the universe

[03:53] CG: I HONESTLY DON'T SEE HOW JUST BEING AS YOU ARE WON'T BE ENOUGH FOR THESE NEW PEOPLE. WERE YOU PLANNING TO RUN AWAY WITH THEM? OTHERWISE, YOU'VE JUST GOT ME INCREDIBLY FUCKING CONFUSED.

[03:58] TG: ok i just

[03:59] TG: never mind forget the new people

[04:00] TG: anyway im crazy levels of dick tier so falling a few rungs on my echeladder wont suddenly make me into a nice nancy or whatever the fuck

[04:01] TG: i just think that my natural talent for being an asshole is too much for this world

[04:01] TG: and maybe

[04:02] TG: never mind

[04:03] CG: NO. YOU STARTED A THOUGHT. YOU'RE FUCKING FINISHING IT.

[04:03] CG: MAYBE WHAT?

[04:04] TG: dude

[04:04] TG: ok dont like

[04:04] TG: its really lame

[04:05] TG: but maybe people would like me more if i werent a jerk

[04:11] CG: LET ME TRY TO ADDRESS THESE THINGS IN ORDER. I KNOW YOU WON'T BECOME NICE NANCY, YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN GET DOWN TO NELSON NUISANCE, I'M JUST GONNA NEED SOME TIME TO GET USED TO IT. THE NEW WORLD IS KIND OF BATSHIT AND COULD PROBABLY USE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO MAKE OTHERS SHUT THE HELL UP.

[04:11] CG: AND FINALLY, WHO DOESN'T LIKE YOU?

[04:16] TG: i dont know how to answer this without sounding like a drama queen

[04:28] CG: DAVE. DAVE, LISTEN. DO YOU HEAR THAT?

[04:28] CG: LISTEN REALLY FUCKING CAREFULLY.

[04:28] CG: OH MY GOD.

[04:28] TG: what is it karkat

[04:28] TG: what do you hear

[04:28] CG: IT'S THE SOUND OF NOBODY GIVING A SHIT IF YOU SOUND LIKE A DRAMA QUEEN.

[04:28] TG: oh my god

[04:28] TG: what a revelation

[04:28] CG: RIGHT?

[04:28] CG: HOLY FUCK.

[04:28] TG: thank god thats audible to the troll ear

[04:28] TG: i would have never known

[04:29] CG: I KNOW, YOUR PATHETIC HUMAN AUDITORY INTAKE VALVES DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE.

[04:29] TG: it is so sad

[04:29] TG: anyway i guess i just dont think that many people like me at all

[04:30] TG: and even the people who do like me think im a piece of shit

[04:30] TG: and my friends are drifting away from me

[04:30] TG: and also my own brother hates me

[04:30] TG: what is the common factor in all these relationships

[04:30] CG: YOUR DELUSIONS THAT YOU AREN'T LIKED.

[04:32] TG: im not delusional

[04:32] TG: i mean not a lot

[04:32] TG: not in this field

[04:47] CG: I DON'T THINK YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT, YOU JUST ACT LIKE A GIGANTIC BALL OF DOUCHE SOMETIMES. YOU'RE ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, DAVE. WE'RE BROS. REALLY FUCKING STUPID BROS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH ANYTHING, BUT WE STILL GET THROUGH IT.

[04:47] CG: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO COUNT LIKE YOU.

[04:47] CG: ALSO, I'VE SPENT SOME TIME WITH YOUR BROTHER.

[04:48] CG: THERE WAS A PARTICULARLY CRAZY TIME WHEN THERE WAS AN ALTERNATE ZOMBIE HUMAN GUARDIAN THING AND HE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT.

[04:48] CG: I WOULD BET MY MOVIE COLLECTION THAT HE DOES NOT HATE YOU.

[04:48] TG: oh

[04:50] CG: YEAH.

[04:56] TG: i guess

[04:56] TG: some of that

[04:56] TG: might be true

[04:56] TG: but there are possibly a few people in particular whom i am concerned about and im not delusional about this one ok

[04:57] CG: I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.

[04:58] TG: i think ive sort of failed rose

[04:58] TG: and dirk

[04:58] TG: somehow

[04:59] CG: YOU'VE. FAILED THEM.

[04:59] CG: I DON'T HAVE THE CONTEXT TO JUDGE THIS.

[05:00] TG: yeah

[05:00] TG: its just i think they kind of expected more from me

[05:00] TG: because alpha universe dave was this big hero

[05:00] TG: so i guess dirk expected me to be some kinda hero too

[05:01] CG: LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE.

[05:02] CG: IF HE EXPECTED SOME BIG HERO GUY, THAT IS HIS FAULT.

[05:02] CG: THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

[05:03] CG: BECAUSE THE BIG HERO HE IMAGINED FOR HIMSELF WAS PROBABLY A COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC CHARACTER WHO WAS THE LIVING BREATHING FORM OF BADASS PERFECTION.

[05:03] CG: YOU AREN'T PERFECT.

[05:03] CG: THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

[05:03] CG: HE NEEDS TO SEE YOU FOR YOU.

[05:05] TG: but i dont think he likes the me he sees

[05:05] TG: oh my god what is this desperate housewives

[05:06] TG: ;lp;lp;l

[05:06] TG: that was me slamming my head on the keyboard

[05:09] CG: THAT WAS A PATHETIC KEYBOARD SLAM.

[05:09] CG: LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE.

[05:09] TG: wow i thought thats what you were doing this whole time

[05:09] CG: GBVVFGVBFBGGB

[05:09] CG: WOW SHUT THE HELL UP.

[05:09] TG: you used your hands karkat

[05:10] TG: it looks more impressive

[05:10] TG: but my frustration is more genuine

[05:10] CG: I'M PRETTY FUCKING FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW, BUT SURE. WHATEVER.

[05:10] TG: oh

[05:10] TG: whats wrong

[05:11] CG: WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT ME RIGHT NOW.

[05:11] TG: yes we are

[05:11] CG: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHERLY ISSUES.

[05:11] TG: i dont want to talk about that anymore

[05:11] TG: its lame

[05:11] TG: and uncool

[05:12] TG: i would rather talk about your interesting and deep emotional issues karkat

[05:12] TG: please tell me about yourself

[05:12] CG: AND NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE YOUR SISTER.

[05:12] CG: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON TODAY?

[05:12] TG: hahahahaha

[05:12] TG: no seriously

[05:13] TG: whats up

[05:13] CG: IT REALLY ISN'T A BIG DEAL. I DON'T HAVE THE DEEP-SEATED SHIT THAT SEEMS TO BE GOING AROUND.

[05:14] TG: ok

[05:14] TG: but

[05:15] CG: I'M JUST REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF MY BEST FRIENDS THINKING THEY'RE WORTHLESS AND THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THEM AND THEY DON'T FUCKING BELONG HERE OR SOMTHIING. OKAY? I JUST GOT FINISHED DEALING WITH ERIDAN WANTING TO KICK SOLLUX'S TEETH IN, SOLLUX WANTING TO LET IT HAPPEN, AND NOW I GUESS YOU AREN'T AS UP TO PAR AS I THOUGHT.

[05:15] CG: WHY DIDN'T YOUTELL ME EARLIER, MAN?

[05:15] TG: oh

[05:16] TG: it sounds perverse but kind of because complaining about no one liking you is a great way to make people not like you

[05:16] TG: and anyway youve got your hands full right

[05:16] TG: were all kinda busy nowadays

[05:17] CG: FUCK I GUESS YOU HAVE A POINT WITH THAT FIRST THING.

[05:17] TG: yeah

[05:18] CG: BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T HAVE? A FUCK TO GIVE ABOUT THAT.

[05:18] CG: THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF.

[05:18] CG: WE CAN'T JUST KEEP SHOVING IT DOWN THE GLASS CONTAINER UNTIL IT'S ABOUT TO CRACK OPEN.

[05:19] TG: over at strider corp we are working on that actually

[05:19] TG: although glass is eco friendly and recyclable its really fragile

[05:19] TG: so were thinking about a more durable kind of packaging for toxic emotions

[05:20] TG: youre welcome to sit in on the board meeting

[05:20] CG: I THINK I HAVE A GREAT IDEA TO TOSS YOUR WAY.

[05:20] CG: YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LISTEN.

[05:21] TG: im listening

[05:22] CG: STOP PACKAGING IT.

[05:22] CG: LET IT FLOW.

[05:22] CG: IF YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, MAKE FILTERS.

[05:22] CG: NO MORE STORAGE.

[05:23] CG: JUST FILTERING.

[05:24] TG: ok

[05:24] TG: maybe

[05:24] TG: i guess

[05:24] TG: i dont know how that works really

[05:24] TG: but

[05:25] TG: this is the second time this week im spilling my feelings everywhere so

[05:25] CG: YEAH SEE, PACKAGING IS UNRELIABLE.

[05:25] CG: GO WITH THE FILTERS. CALL THEM STRAINERS IF YOU WANT.

[05:26] CG: WHAT'S THAT THING HUMANS USE FOR THE THICK WHITE POWDER FOOD?

[05:26] CG: SIFTER.

[05:26] TG: colanders

[05:26] TG: karcolanders

[05:26] CG: ...

[05:27] CG: THAT WAS WEAK, THOUGH. YOU'RE SLIPPING.

[05:28] TG: hey i dont have a lot to work with here

[05:28] TG: im sifting through a list of possible jokes and they are not jumping out at me

[05:29] CG: MAYBE YOU SHOULD SLEEP AND GET MORE JUMPY IDEAS.
