[ when the feed clicks on, it only shows one thing. Ventus and Vanitas propped up. in bed. sleeping. ]

Since this place is getting new blood in all of the fucking time, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to present a lesson about the mechanics of how this stupid place works.

Behold upon your screen, if you dare, at the deceptively innocent faces of these two bulgesuckers. They have fallen into a sleep that they cannot be roused from.

[ just to demonstrate this fact... Karkat has a squirt gun and is shooting Vanitas and Ventus in the face with it. nope. not even stirring. ]

Get used to it. It could very well happen to you. They could be experiencing memories from their home world.

Either way, Ventus and Vanitas are out of commission for fuck knows how long and up to a week, maybe. If you need them, leave a goddamn message on their Gears since I am no fucking message boy.

That's it. Move along with your worthless lives now.

[ shakes head and leaves a tip anyway, popping it in his mouth. sure is going to leave it dangle as he starts to move for the door. ]

[viiru2alert]

Classy. [Sollux, don't talk with your mouth full.]

[papshooshing]

[ gonna flick your forehead as he passes bro. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Karkat may notice two small tugs on his hair.]

[papshooshing]

[ are they going to be doing this all the way to the theater?

just poking and prodding at each other? ]

[viiru2alert]

[Yes.]

[papshooshing]

[ oh okay. this is totally fine.

Karkat won't complain. much. grumbling, shoving bitching, but otherwise? ]

Should we just get a combo deal?

[viiru2alert]

[Good work, Karkat. He has taught you well.]

Yeah, sure.

[And to the concessions desk:] Hey, uh, one cotton candy tagged on the end of that.

[Eheheheheh.]

[papshooshing]

Make it two.

[ because Sollux has a thing for twos. kind of. Karkat pays and grabs the stuff, prepared to be spirited away by a horrible movie. ]

Want to timeskip?

[viiru2alert]

[It's truly magnificent.]

Sure thing

[papshooshing]

[ and when it's all over? Karkat has sticky fingertips from the cotton candy that he just had surrendered about half way through.

movies had been just as wonderfully cheesy as had been predicted.

but now? first stop is the restroom. TO WASH THE HANDS. ]

Re: Sure thing

[viiru2alert]

[Rrrrright behind you. Damn this dual-colored human confectionery.]

Well, that was a great waste of money.

[papshooshing]

You got some free food out of the deal. What are you complaining about?

[ meticulous scrubbing? you know it. ]

[viiru2alert]

Heh heh.

[Far less meticulous scrubbing, but scrubbing nonetheless. SEE, HE'S LEARNING.]

[usedshooshpap]

I hope you're pleased with yourself. Shrugged off an entire day to go waste my time with you.

[viiru2alert]

I am pleased with myself, actually.

[Dry dry dry the hands.]

Been doing nothing but training for the past... week or something, IDK. Thinking of starting the whole Gym thing.

[usedshooshpap]

[ flicking some water at Sollux. ]

What level is your team?

[viiru2alert]

Both are 20, more or less.

[Water back. Thank God he's not electrocuting anything.]

[usedshooshpap]

That's not nearly high enough. Whitney here is at forty.

[viiru2alert]

Shit. Who's the weakest?

[usedshooshpap]

Falkner in Violet. Level thirty would be good to deal with him.

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux pulls out his PokéGear and checks the map. That's... not too far away. But where they're going in Saffron, right? And that's... the next Region over. Great.]

So I guess I'm not coming with you.

[usedshooshpap]

They have badges in Kanto too. Why the fuck do you think I'm heading out that way?

[viiru2alert]

What, is Saffron the first one there? Your Pokémon are a shitton stronger than mine, I'd be nothing but a pain.

[usedshooshpap]

I think Pewter is. There is an order you know and I think I'd want to follow it this time.

But if you don't want to come with, you don't have to.
