so it seems its that time where they r bringing in new recruists and it got me thinking
how do they know waht ppl to being in?
* bring
i mean is it totally random and they dont even know wtf is being brought in
or is there throught proceess behind it?
also what if you are literally stoot in a group of ppl at the time and only 1 gets brought in
like hmm we have this cute guy w/glasses here who all sorts of knows how to shoot guns and has daily fighting practice w/robobs and animals
or the sweet girl thats heiress to an evil empire and survives all these assassinasstion attempts shed b so cool 2 have
or the evne hotter guy w/ rad ninja sword skills who a better fighter than anyboby weve seen who could build us deadaly robots
but no
screw them we will leave them all there
lets take that drunk girl right there who was dead just a min ago since she obvs has all the skills an winning army needs

so does anybody know at all
i mean mayeb it was mentioned before and i wasnt really lsitenign or something idk
* lisgtening
..
* listening
ha take that red squiggley line

i guess i just wondered why it was me that got brought here
and i miss my freinds :(

p.s. hi 2 all new peeps if id idnt say hi already

Do Not Accuse Me Of Anything So Reprehensible As A Human Deceptive Dark Art
Equius And Eridan Are Right Here In This Post
For Heavens Sake Karkat
Give Your Page Browsing Wheel A Little Exercise

See They Already Replied

[crusthatecean]

EXCUSE ME FOR BEING PREOCCUPIED WITH MY OWN PROBLEMS AND NOT READING OTHER PEOPLE'S CONVERSATIONS.

OH GOD, THEY ARE ACTUALLY HERE.

[speakveryclearly]

Yes
Theyre Not Dead
Its Time For Rejoicing
Upon Our Happy Reunion
Though I Suppose Thats Not What This Is For You

[crusthatecean]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS.
I'M GLAD THEY AREN'T DEAD, I JUST.
DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO THINK RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG FOR ALL OF YOU, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TODAY FOR ME.
I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE ON THE TIMELINE.

[speakveryclearly]

You Wouldnt Believe How Many Times Ive Been Asked This
It Gets Really Old
I Was In The Middle Of Trolling The Rose Human
And Then I Was In An Asylum
There Were No Explosions Going On At The Time
Nobodys Deceasement
Nothing Like That
Just Sitting In The Veil
Waiting To Die At The Hands Of The Demon

[crusthatecean]

I'M SORRY, OKAY.
BUT WOW, SEE, THAT IS JUST SO LONG AGO.
OR, YOU KNOW, EARLIER TODAY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE SUCH A LONG TIME.
IT'S DISCONCERTING.

[speakveryclearly]

Since Its Been An Actual And Not Just Perceived Long Time That I Havent Seen You
I Guess I Can Work With That

[crusthatecean]

GIVE ME A DAY TO ADJUST AND THEN
I PROMISE I WILL NOT MENTION THE ALPHA TIMELINE AGAIN.

[speakveryclearly]

These Are Acceptable Terms

[PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

THOUGH HYPOTHETICALLY, LIKE,
EVERYONE IS TOTALLY TIRED OF THINGS FROM THE ALPHA TIMELINE?
I MEAN, WHAT'S THE ETIQUETTE HERE, LIKE, SAY YOU BECAME ASHMATES WITH SOMEONE IN THE ALPHA TIMELINE, AND YOU THINK THEY WERE ASH BEFORE ANYWAY, BUT IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER TO WORK OUT IF YOU JUST WENT, HEY, THIS BIG THING HAPPENED, WE'RE TOGETHER, YOU DON'T REMEMBER BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT,
HOW AWKWARD WOULD THAT BE.

THIS IS JUST HYPOTHETICAL.

[PRIVATE]

[speakveryclearly]

[SHE DROPS HER NETBOOK RIGHT NOW AND VERY NEARLY TYPES HOW DID YOU KNOW

SHE REALLY ALMOST DOES IT]

Hypothetically
I Do Not Think You Could Be Guaranteed A Positive Answer

Re: [PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

[Oops I don't think we're talking about the same thing this is why awkwardly disguised hypotheticals are stupid.]

I KNOW THAT!
I'M NOT THAT MUCH OF A SHITHEAD, THAT I THINK IT'S OKAY TO SAY, HEY, THIS HAPPENED FOR ME, SO YOU HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH IT.
BUT OKAY, IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, REALLY BAD SHIT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO OWN UP TO THE RELATIONSHIP AND ONE'S HYPOTHETICAL DUTIES.
SO JUST IGNORING IT AGAIN ISN'T AN OPTION.
WOULD IT BE REALLY OUT OF LINE TO JUST SAY IT ALREADY HAPPENED, BUT NOT IN LIKE A, YOU HAVE TO AGREE TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WAY?
ONLY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER.

Re: [PRIVATE]

[speakveryclearly]

I Think That If Hypothetically You Approached Someone Saying You Had Experienced A Conciliatory Romantic Involvement
You Would Be At Significant Risk Of Alienating Them Entirely
And Your Honesty About The Level Of Involvement You See As Appropriate For Yourselves Would Very Likely Not Be Appreciated At All
And Your Attempts At Recovering Even A Platonic Friendship Might Even Be Rebuffed
And You Would In Essence Become Painfully Attuned To The Reality That Love Sucks
And Not Even In The Way You Always Read About In Your Romance Novels

Thats My Frame Of Reference For This Hypothetical
In Case That Wasnt Clear

[WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SUCH DIFFERENT THINGS]

[PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

IF YOU SAY SO.
THAT SOUNDS PRETTY HARSH FOR A HYPOTHETICAL.
DID HE SAY SOMETHING TO YOU? IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE?

Re: [PRIVATE]

[speakveryclearly]

Did He Ever
What
Wait
You Are Giving Me The Distinct Feeling That This Is Not An Elaborate Hypothetical And You Are In Fact Seeking My Advice On What To Do With Regards To An Actual Person
Which Is Probably Rather Different Than My General Hypothetical Advice

[PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

IT SEEMED LIKE YOU KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!
YOUR STUPID ADVICE SURE SOUNDED PRETTY SPECIFIC.
WAKE UP, KANAYA, NO ONE IS EVER REALLY ASKING FOR HYPOTHETICAL ADVICE, IT'S JUST TO MAKE EVERYTHING INFINITELY LESS AWKWARD.

OKAY, FINE, IT'S NOT HYPOTHETICAL AND IT'S NOT ASHEN, ARE YOU HAPPY?

[PRIVATE]

[speakveryclearly]

Has It Even Occurred To You That I Could Be Giving Non-Hypothetical Advice From Specific Experience For What I Still Perceived To Be A Hypothetical Situation

Who Is It

[PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE EVEN TALKING ABOUT,
I WASN'T EXACTLY PLANNING ON HITTING YOU UP TO MEDIATE BETWEEN ME AND MYSELF.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT FITS.

AND NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

[PRIVATE]

[speakveryclearly]

In That Case
Whom I May Or May Not Have Found Myself Involved With In The Isolation Of Another Universe Is Likewise None Of Your Business
Though Given The Opinions Youve Expressed It Probably Wouldnt Be Anyway

[PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

YOUR ADVICE SUCKS, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

[PRIVATE]

[speakveryclearly]

My Advice
Happens To Be
Exactly What Happened To Me
In Exactly The Situation You Set Out
To The Very Letter
Except For "In The Alpha Timeline"
Other Than That And The Capitalization
To The Letter

[PRIVATE]

[crusthatecean]

OKAY, WELL, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THAT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE A SHITTY SITUATION.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT, MAYBE BRINGING IN RELATIONSHIPS FROM OTHER TIMELINES DOESN'T WORK.
OR AT LEAST ASSUMING WE'LL BE TOGETHER WON'T.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Can't risk you finding out about the matriorb, snapping and potentially trying to kill him after all. A troll has to have priorities.

Which means his top priority is self preservation even if it means manipulating doomed alternates.

[...this is an unexpected message. She stares at it for a good bit, trying to process just how different this violet text is from what she used to read. But then she answers.]

I Am Over It
Im Not Exactly Happy That You Killed Two People And I Was One Of Them
But Ive Killed Two People
It Could Be Worse
Hell Gamzees Killed Two People And I Was One Of Them

I Want To Be Your Friend Much More Than I Want To Care About That Whole Affair However Unsavory It Was
So I Suppose That Means Im Over It For All Intents And Purposes
The Only Occurrence Im Not Over Is The Continuing One Where You Decided Your New Modus Operandi Was Treating Me Like Shit
And Youre Offering To Bring An End To That
So
Yes
We Have A Deal
