[ 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; ]

[Loki leans in, looking a bit smugly pleased with himself and satisfied with Karkat's reaction.]

As-gardians. As! One "s" not two! I see you can do wordplay too. We could give lessons on it, 'less it fly in the range above people's heads.

[ he may not be able to see loki's smug face, but he can certainly hear it in his tone. he grits his teeth. this is his roommate. this is probably also some sort of cosmic punishment. ]

It's not my job to educate people on the intricate nuances of how I make language my bitch. [ also known as butt jokes. ] If people are too stupid to grasp it, that's their problem, not mine.

You're missing a fine opportunity in cleverly disguised excuses!

[he pulls back and makes a couple of wiggly fingers.]

It'll be fun.
