[ video has Karkat, in full troll skin kinda fussing with his nails. claws. whatever. in yellow Prospit pajamas. ]

Kanaya already said something, so I'm not going to repeat that shit pointlessly. I don't care how this happened. All I know is that I am very, very fucking thankful for it. I am hoping that it will stay that way.

It's not that I'm apposed to being soft and squishy. I just don't feel right in my own goddamn skin. This? This is much more natural.

[ doesn't look very scary with that Joltik perched on his shoulder though. ]

Last time I had this outfit an entire fucking moon blew up...

[ A) maybe you're just traveling along a route. maybe you're walking in town. suddenly there is this little guy attached to your pant leg. possibly eating it. maybe just chittering and climbing higher and higher.

B) it's a bird, it's a plane! no, likely it's just Karkat. goodhood and all. enjoying flight because he NEVER gets to fly. it's a sore spot. a big, giant sore spot.]

You know it won't, though, right?

Things I didn't need to hear today:

That.

Well, don't you kind of remember the last time? I think this is something that happens on occasion.

You should just enjoy it while you can, Karkat!

Vaguely? It's not crystal clear, but hazy as if it had been a dream.

Yes, exactly! But according to Kayneth and the others, losing time like that has happened before, and so it can be assumed that whatever this is happens periodically at those "lost time" moments.

At least, that's the conclusion we reached after discussing it a lot.

...Dude, I could have told you that.

[timelymaid]

Oh, so you weren't actually hoping it would stay this way seriously?

video;

[papshooshing]

Of course I was serious. Even though it's futile, I can still have a sliver of hope.

That's a new outlook! I approve. Maybe we will get to keep it, then.

video;

[papshooshing]

I'm attempting to be somewhat optimistic.

[timelymaid]

It's a nice change of pace!!! You can definitely keep it up if you try, Karkat!

[papshooshing]

It's definitely temporary. The world might fall apart if it becomes a permanent thing.

...That optimistic attempt didn't even last one exchange, since that remark was pretty cynical.
