018 ♋ Voice => Video ♋ 4TH WALL

[usedshooshpap]

Remember how I've been saying lately that I don't feel fucking respected as an individual that is not human? Oh right, that's because my perspective, culture, and essence have been fucking scrutinized like a scienterrorist examining the brand new fucking microbe on a recently discovered planet out in the far reaches of the known universe. Let this be a lesson for all of you that I'm not human and shouldn't be expected to act like one!

[ he flips on the video feed now!  Karkat is now in all of his troll glory and is about to make a few points before running off into the sunset and having a time of it. of course behind him is his team of pokebeasts: a shiny Haxorus, Crobat, Growlithe, Sneasel, Espeon, and Luxray. ]

In no way do I even resemble one. First, let us observe the fact that I have horns. Do humans have these? Why no! They do fucking not. What about fangs? Claws. See these features of mine that humans distinctly lack? Do I LOOK built to scream about love, peace, and the American way? Fuck you sideways, I don't! I am a lean, mean culling machine and you would all fucking do well to remember that.

Now I'm throwing out my middle prongs to you all in a traditional salute while I fuck off to enjoy my REAL body. I might be dreaming, but look at all the shiny fucks that I give.

Shit, I forgot about screwing over my sleep schedule...

No. They don't return once they're out.

[Lifting his weapon, he takes a swing and a group from the floor disappear into wisps.]

This is how I've always gotten rid of them.

[papshooshing]

[ Karkat watches in uneasy silence. killing monsters is one thing. killing things that are your emotions is another... something's not RIGHT about that.

or maybe that's just far too pale a sentiment and he should just let Vanitas deal with his shit. ]

[shadowdive]

[Whatever he's making due to the killing of these emotions are only forming outside, if Karkat looks out the window. Vanitas clears the room pretty easily of everything, cornering the rabbit shaped one last.

He doesn't even use the weapon in hand for this one, reaching out to give it a solid kick into the wall where it disappears in the similar fashion to all the others.]

[papshooshing]

Next question, my dark oozy friend. WHY the hell does this happen?

[shadowdive]

When I was separated from my original heart, these are the feelings I took with me. Not to say he doesn't experience anger and hate, but those feelings generally get funneled to me. Whether he means to or not.

[With the room cleared, he lets the weapon disappear and sits on the bed again, but doesn't remove his helmet.]

[papshooshing]

[ plops down on the other end of the bed. why the mask, Vani? Karkat frowns, but he's no one's moirail here. can't pale zone everyone. ]

You live in a fucked up reality, you know that?

[shadowdive]

It wasn't normal. It was forced, because Ventus wasn't dark-hearted enough. So Master removed me and sent Ventus somewhere else and trained me instead.

[He doesn't even flinch with the added weight on the bed.]

[papshooshing]

Because that's not just fucked up at all. Doesn't that bother you at all?

[ huff puffing. ]

[shadowdive]

It used to. Still kind of does. [Funny how ever since dealing with all those unversed, his tone hasn't changed from being flat.]

I hated that we were so weak.

[papshooshing]

[ not funny. unnerving as fuck. ]

Weak? Just because he wasn't raging enough? Wasn't DARK enough?

[shadowdive]

Weak enough to be separated. To not fight off the monsters dropped on us -- me. To not do more than say no and nearly die for it.

[The slightest inflection, but the tone tapered off into monotone again easily.]

[papshooshing]

You don't think he, and some part of you, didn't realize what saying no would mean? He made a fucking choice, Vanitas. That's all. It's not exactly weak to choose the path of no conflict.

Gamzee could have killed us all in his subjuggulating state. Kanaya and Terezi wanted to fight him off. So according to your limited perspective and view, because I chose to stand up and take responsibility, facing him down with gentle paps and soothing tones that means I'm weak?

Fuck that noise.

[shadowdive]

Probably not, because Ventus is incredibly naive and stupid. He didn't know what Master wanted until Master dropped Heartless on him, saying "let these devour your heart". The basic invitation to become a mindless, heart devouring monster who can't reclaim his own heart, because it would grant power.

He made the choice to shatter our heart too. It's why we're as good as dead if he never wake up.

[He hissed, at first, his tone breaking a moment, but it only serves to make several of these appear. Vanitas stands again without hesitation and takes them out with some rough swings of a suddenly summoned keyblade.]

[papshooshing]

He didn't seem that dumb to me.

[ managed to call you out on the whole fist fight thing earlier, didn't he?

Karkat only jumps a little when Vanitas moves again. good god. ]

...Question. Are these fuckers aggressive?

[shadowdive]

Because he's taken it upon himself to be responsible for me, for some reason. And yes. They are.

[Usually only when he wants them to be, but the ones made by anger are more prone to it than others.]

[papshooshing]

Probably because you matter to him, genius. If he's as naive as you say, then it's probably floating somewhere in pale territory.

[shadowdive]

I tried to kill the people close to him and crush his spirit. [Why should he care?] Being the half that is all light, he's too nice for his own good. He doesn't behave any differently now than he did before we rejoined.

[papshooshing]

Yeah so what?

[shadowdive]

[Rolling his eyes beneath his helmet, Vanitas lets out a bit of a sigh.] I don't understand.

[papshooshing]

What's there to understand? You said it yourself. He is a goober of light and doesn't give a fuck about what you did because you two are still connected. It's a thing.

[shadowdive]

[Making a bit of a face, but actually Karkles, you put it in way easier to understand terms.]

[papshooshing]

[ nudges at with a foot. ]

[shadowdive]

What? [Don't nudge me with your foot >( Pushes his leg a bit.]

[papshooshing]

Don't make dumb faces like that.

[shadowdive]

I wasn't making a dumb face, idiot. [Scowling a bit, he sits up straighter and crosses his arms.] You put it in easier to understand terms though. He's just that dumb to forgive someone like me for all that crap.
