[ Karkat is literally surrounded when he flips on the Gear. poor guy is a little rattled, Pokemon kind of all over him. swablu, some dragons, his Espeon... but seriously. looks like he is about to hyperventilate over here. taking deep, slow breathes to help calm. ]

What the...

[ and then he loses it. ]

MIGHTY TAINT CHAFTING FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?



(( ooc note: it's been a whole year canon-wise for Karkat. he's going to be a little disoriented at first. ))

....well, that's a new one.

[She's crouching on the ground as it records, trying unsuccessfully to get a stick from her baby Poochyena.]

I kinda like it!

[video] ==> after he's calmed down

[usedshooshpap]

What's a new one?

[video]

[usedperishsong]

[She's got the dog in her lap, now, and its tail keeps whacking her in the side.]

Oh, you know. The thing you said.

I'd repeat it, but she's just a baby.

[And she pats the Pokémon.]

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

Ooooh.

So what's the difference between saying it now and when the pup grows?

[video]

[usedperishsong]

You know, I never quite got that myself!

If you're gonna say something, you should say it, y'know? And explain to the kids if they've got questions after.

[Never mind this flippant comment is the polar opposite of her last.]

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

Or don't bother to explain.

[video]

[usedperishsong]

That too!

--anyway, things work out over there? Sounded like you've had quite the day.

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

Vanitas said I was in a coma for a week. I felt like I was back in my own universe.

[video]

[usedperishsong]

....yeah, that'd do it.

[She scratches her head while the Poochyena grabs one side of her hair and tugs, which she doesn't seem to mind.]

Going back wasn't really a bad thing, though, right?

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

It wasn't really a good thing. Things were still shitty, but in different ways.

[video]

[usedperishsong]

[She winces good-naturedly.]

Awfully sour about your own place! There really nothing worth visiting, Mr. Sunshine?

Especially if there's no guarantee you'll see it again.

[There's no doubt in her mind Johto is a step up from some people's homes. Heck, technically it is from hers. But she's also a little dead, so her view on this stuff has gotten skewed.]

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

It's Karkat and no, no there is fuck all there for me to want to go back to.

[video]

[usedperishsong]

Now that, I don't believe.

Even a crappy hole in the ground is your hole in the ground. And I'm not gonna let you just give up on it like that!

[video]

[papshooshing]

Dude... My fucking universe is destroyed. Gone! Blown up!

[video]

[usedperishsong]

[......well, count that on the number of things she wasn't expecting to hear.

And it kind of hits her like a punch in the gut. How did you manage to go back if -

But that is beside the point.]

....w-well. Yeah.

Not something you hear every day....

[She's bad with apologies, but that's an apology.]

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

It's because we were tricked. So now we're stuck on a meteor flying through space.

[video]

[usedperishsong]

So there's something to return to.

Good.

You'll need ground beneath your feet when you kick that guy's ass.

[Whoever they are that tricked you. That's - she can hardly even comprehend the scope. But it pisses her off.]

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

[ snorts. ]

I don't think you need to fucking worry about that. We'll have to face him sooner or later.

[video]

[usedperishsong]

[She nods grimly.]

Do what you gotta.

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

Why do you care anyway...

[video]

[usedperishsong]

Hey, who knows....

Why shouldn't I?

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

Because I'm nothing short of an asshole?

[video]

[usedperishsong]

Isn't that fine?

Everybody's got reasons for acting like they do. Hell, this puppy you sent me's no charmer herself!

[Arrow the Poochyena resents this, as she gnaws on something that, in a past life, might have once been a stick.]

Stick up for what's yours with all your might. That's reason enough to get support.

[video]

[usedshooshpap]

...If you say so.

[ but he's flattered. really. ]

[video]

[usedperishsong]

I do!

[She nods and grins. Clearly this matter is settled.]

Well, unless you start intrudin' on others. Then I'll have to beat you up instead!
