Oh my god... How can anyone want to stick around one place for longer than a few weeks when there's so much shit to get done? I've been settled in Vermillion for only about three weeks and I am already going absolutely shithive maggots. Maybe the best idea is to just blaze through those last few badges, I don't know. What I do know is that one way or another, I am getting the merry fuck on my way. Screw waiting for the weather warm up.

I think my Pichu is feeling it too because he's kind of sparking here and there. Is that normal? Like, my Ampharos when she was a Mareep had this problem, but what the shit do I do to avoid getting shocked this time around? It's not like I can just take care when brushing him! That and he thinks every damn thing is funny at the moment and it just sets him off! Right now it's a never ending spiral of shocking, what I think is giggling, and more shocking. Just make it stop, oh my god.

[ as if on cue, a little Pichu can be heard chiming in and an aggravated huff from a Zangoose. Karkat... he just groans. sighs... ]

Unrelated to all of the globetickling bulgehumps out there and my own trainer problems - which is to say that this message is only for those of my particular joint universes - where the blithering fuck is everyone? I just met up with Eridan a few days ago, but what about everyone else?



[ private to Rose ]

So um. There's a little bit of a problem.

I could ask Kanaya, but I thought... Uh...

Then you were not provided with sufficient material.

[GO READ MORE, RUDE ONE.]

If you are still receiving shocks while using rubber as a countermeasure, I would consider having him discharge all electricity onto a metal object of some sort. It is possible he has built up a surplus, though if he is just doing this to be a nuisance, that should work as a solution as well. If the cause is due to the weather, as the dryness of winter is often the cause of an increase in static, then adding some moisture should be simple as well. I would assume the stores here are equipped enough to sell humidifiers.

I couldn't get out of bed for almost three days. What the hell do you think I did? Holy shit, what are you even thinking... Why would I fill all of my backpack space with items that are going to weigh me down? That makes absolutely no sense, and thus I am stuck with only carrying what I am given...

Now see... The second half is actually smart and guess what? I'm going to give it a shot. Shocking, I know.

[There's a pause. Ah, yes, getting weighed down by items. It's a bit of a new concept to Philip, what with hardly leaving the basement and not having many personal possessions in the first place.]

You could just as easily borrow books from the local library, I am assuming. That way you needn't carry them along with you.

[He would have suggested just getting rid of the things Karkat's already read, but... This kid had been weird about books last time. Might not have taken that well.]

I hope that it helps, though I imagine results will be limited if it is in fact a behavioral issue or an inclination of the species.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if it means he's going to evolve soon. He didn't do it before and I know we're getting close.

[botspeaksalot]

Is there precedent for a change in behavior being followed by evolution? I am afraid it will be some time before I experience that for myself.

Their attitudes can change slightly change after. Del wasn't as nearly irritable when he was a Shinx.
