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...

[UUUUGH]

...Fine.

Go.

[Careful to not use any words with S sounds in them.]

Captor, it honestly sounds like you have a serious flush crush going on. And really? Who could blame you, considering the situation.

The real problem is, you don't think you're good enough. Don't deserve it.

What'h that thuppothed to mean? 'The thituation'?

[He's not acknowledging the second part, because both of them know it's true, and Sollux doesn't have the energy to deny it like he did in times gone by.]

Her metamorphosis? Being in this universe in general? I'm saying that you guys are spending a lot of time together. It's only natural for those feelings to develop?

Only natural. Yeah. [Grumble grumble hiss.]

Okay, tho fine. I have a fluthcruth on Aradia Megido. There. I thaid it! Happy now?

No, no I am not Sollux 'I am a wiggler and not a troll' Captor...

I'll be happy when you tell her.

Don't make my mistake, okay?

[...Tell her.]

[The fast-growing knot in his stomach is practically visible on Sollux's face.]

I have to tell her?

Uh, newthflath, KK, I kind of already told her.

By. You know.

Flipping my thit in the middle of a Thenter lobby.

Did you use the sentence "AA, I am flush for you?"

Because if you didn't, then it doesn't count.

I uthed the thententhe "AA, I'm red for you in thome way that I thtill cant figure out becauthe I'm a thothially inept arthepod."

But now you have figured it out. So now you've got to get some shame globes and say something.

I feel like the betht thing to do ith just... leave. Leave and let her not have to accomodate for my fucking deadweight all the time.

You're not dead weight, Captor. Not really. It's just a part of who you are and honestly? As much as I bitch about it and give you a hard time, I wouldn't want it to change too much.

Aradia knows you, Sollux. She wouldn't put up with you unless she wanted to.

Ever think she might feel the same way?

...We breached the topic becauthe Aradia wath trying to find a 'platonic friendthip' thymbol for uth to uthe.

Tho no.

I know, Sollux. I read the conversation.

But isn't that just because she didn't know where you two stand?

The wouldn't get that invethted if the wanted to do thomething about it.

Captor. Don't make me link her this conversation. I will.

Why?!

For your own good and because I am your best friend which puts me as also your wing man.

[He sputters for a little bit.] Don't show her that, you grubfucker!

Then you know what you have to do.

[The response to this comes very late, because Sollux has just gone back and watched that entire conversation over again, and has also taken a few more minutes to gather his bearings before he responds. It's cringe-worthy. He kind of just wants to... delete it, delete it all, but he can't make the Gear let him. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.]

...Fine. You win, Vantas.

Look, man...

[ he's had time to think about this conversation too. Karkat does not want to push TOO much. just wants to give Sollux the confidence boost. help him out, since he had been such a failure as their leader. it's the least this guy can do for his best friend, right? ]

Just, don't let the opportunity for something good to happen to you slip by, okay? If you don't really want to tell her, I won't really be a douchewaffle about it.

I do want to, I guess, it's just...

[Sigh.]

You were right about what you said, though. Before. I guess I... still don't think I'm good enough.

And that, Sollux, is probably why you are. Think about it. Yeah, we're assholes to each other. Still, there's no one I'd rather have those sorts of conversations with. Sollux Captor, you're my best friend not because of how awesome you can be, but how great you are will all of those little faults. Sure, I can take a shit on you about them, but...

If you weren't my best friend I think I'd go absolutely insane. You're an amazing coder and an essential member of the team. We wouldn't be where we are without you, at all.

[Another silence, this one significantly shorter and actually visible from Karkat's side of the Gear; it seems Sollux had opened it up to say something probably insulting and dismissive, but then reconsidered, and now Karkat is just watching him stare for a couple of seconds. Eventually, he speaks again.]

Fine, I'll do it. How sad would it be if the best surviving Alternian hacker can't even tell a girl he's flushed for her? [He laughs, kind of weakly, and then:]

...Thanks.
