10 - [Video]

[So Sollux thought it'd be a good idea to see what Earth movies are like. And with Crank as his only basis thus far, he's 1. not impressed, and 2. confused on a few things.]

Hey.

That movie that was shown last night, used a lot of words I don't know. Human vernacular ith really stupid and weird. Tho everyone should tell me all the thwear words they know and what they mean. There were like twenty onesth I didn't know in that movie, and I thtill don't get what they meant. Thith ith for educational purposes, of course.

maybe that lack of punii2hment
wa2 theiir mean2 of keepiing me loyal two them.
takiing advantage of how guiilty ii feel.
...
yeah wow fuck thii2 got heavy liike really quiick 2orry ii don't try two dump my feeliing2 on people ii've never talked two before often.
uh yeah can we ju2t liike.
forget thii2 happened.

I don't mind the heaviness of it, so you don't have to apologize. Catching feelings is familiar ground for me. I'll never breathe a word of it to anyone.

You're free to change the subject if you like, or not.

ii
don't know what two change it two.

[ ruka think fast
what's a good topic to distract someone from angst ]

Hm...

You used a term I'm not familiar with, earlier. Your primary loyalty is to your "quadrants" ?

oh.
well ii'm an "aliien" two you.
a22umiing you're human riight.
anyway.
that'2 our... mean2 of relatiion2hiip2.
where we actiively pur2ue all four quadrant2.
only two are really "requiired" of u2.
but haviing all four ii2 a de2iired accomplii2hment.
♥, mate2priit, ii2 the clo2e2t two your human kiind of datiing.
although piity and love iin human language mean diifferent thiing2, they mean the 2ame thiing two troll2.
♦, moiiraiil, ii2... hard two de2cribe two human2.
iit'2 ba2iically, 2omeone you rely on for emotiional 2upport.
two put iit iin mo2t 2iimple term2.
♠, kii2me2ii2, ii2 concupii2cent, liike the ♥, but iin2tead of piity iit'2 ba2ed on hate and riivalry.
♣, au2piice, ii2 ba2iically when there'2 a potentiial ♠ relatiion2hiip, but there'2 no matiing fondne22 iinvolved and iin2tead you ju2t really want two riip theiir throat out, 2o a thiird troll get2 iinvolved two paciify the two 2o no one diie2.

and 2o, ii have ♥♠♦ relatiion2hiip2 2ettled and ii'm pretty good wiith that.

[ This is

Yes, human.

The spectrum's a little wider than I'm used to, but these four relationships (Or is it five? Since ♣ involves two others?) constitute the people most important to you, yes?

Which two are the "required" ones?

[Poor Haruka got stuck with the Karkat Explanation, didn't she.]

♣ ii2 weiird a2 hell and ii don't even know, iit'2 CON2IIDERED four but iit really ii2 fiive but ii gue22 the poiint ii2 that you rely on the paciifiier there rather than the other guy you don't want anythiing two do wiith.
but yeah they're the one2 you care about mo2t 2uppo2edly although ii'd rather have a be2t friiend iin2tead of a ♣.

♥♠ are the two requiired one2.

Oh, that makes sense. The theory of ♣ makes sense to me, a little. Though, when humans need someone to mediate like that, we wouldn't consider that a formal relationship.

Well, unless that mediator was a therapist, I suppose, but that's a little more complicated.

(Personally, I would get a restraining order.)

what'2 a re2traiiniing order.

Oh, it's legal thing.

Say, for example, that we're in conflict, and I'm harassing you. Or stalking you, or threatening to hurt you. Something like that. In the sort of justice system I'm familiar with, you could go to court and get a restraining order filed against me.

This would set certain restrictions on me, regarding my behavior towards you. I wouldn't be allowed to contact you, or visit places where you live or work, or even *be* within a certain radial distance of you. Et cetera.

If I broke any of those conditions, I could be arrested.

After all, you don't really need a mediator between two people if they're never in contact with one another.

wow tho2e exii2t??

Yes. I mean, I don't know if they do HERE, but they did in my country/time period.

wow and they'd liike
HAVE two follow iit
or be punii2hed??
holy 2hiit.

[YEAH GUESS WHAT HIGHBLOOD ALTERNIAN TROLLS NEVER GAVE A SHIT ABOUT?? making other people uncomfortable.]

Yeah. From what I remember, most of the times they were awarded when the one person felt threatened by the other. Abusive exes, or things like that.

...
wii2h troll2 had that kiind of thiing.

Nothing close to equivalent?

kiilliing them.

... Oh.
That's pretty rough.

iit'2 only a problem iif you can't do iit.
or they kiill you fiir2t.
or they're a hiighblood and you get iin trouble for iit.

I can't say any of these options sound very appealing.

they really aren't.
but that wa2 the world ii belonged two.
now iit'2 diifferent obviiou2ly.
fuck ii wii2h 2omeone told me about tho2e when eriidan wa2 around.

[ ... ]

Ex of yours?

what.
no.
fuck no.
more liike "he'2 a murderer."

[ ;) ]

Ah ha. We usually try to keep ours in prison.

[W...what is that face for.]

yeah well gue22 what al2o doe2n't exii2t for hiighblood2 on alterniia.
prii2on2.
