[ after a week of constantly bumping into shit and having to get people to lead him around from place to place, karkat vantas has to resort to desperate measures. it's a struggle even getting the tablet to work for him, and at first, he doesn't seem to notice it's recording, continuing to frown and fiddle with it for a little while, before he begins to speak. ]

So. [ one might notice that his pupils are unusually dilated, only the faintest ring of grey iris visible around the edges. ] I'm going to make this brief, if just because I'm only half convinced this thing is actually recording and I'm not just yodeling into the void, but thanks to the astonishingly warm welcome one of your residents gave me, I'm blind. And as I'm not the resident No Eyes Mcgee among my social circle, and I've walked into enough door frames over the past week that I'll be very surprised if I haven't sustained permanent brain injury, I'm requesting that one of you make yourself some vague parody of useful and fix it.

[ there is a pause, before, reluctantly; ]

It was a dragon, if that makes any difference.

Mmhmm. There would be an easy way to fix your little problem, as I know you know.

[crab]

It's not going to happen.

[onblackwings]

[ so sing-song: ] Suit yourself. It's not any of my concern if you prefer to spend your time bumping into walls.

[crab]

I'm going to get you back for this, you know. You're going to rue the day you ever hatched when I'm done with you.

[onblackwings]

Those are large threats, from someone so small.

[crab]

Yeah, well, we can't all be as mindbogglingly fat as you.

[onblackwings]

Careful, now. I might be tempted to step on you.

[crab]

I'd really fucking rather you didn't.
