[ 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.

Hey, it's not like I was the one saying I'd charge you. Just that the ones who could help you out, would. But hey, if you want to be blind forever, that's your prerogative. Maybe I should, I don't know, knock out some of your teeth and we'll call it square.

Hey, you know that was an accident! Why don't you try dragging my lifeless carcass around a meteor for a couple of hours while on the run from an enraged murderclown and see how great a job you do!

Pretty sure I'd just use psionics, and thuth carry you easily and without violent oral repercussions. But you know, not everyone's graceful like that. I'm sure genetics did you the favor of skipping out on your psionic powers because it knew you'd manage to fuck them up too.

Wow, yes, let's bring up my genetics, that's exactly the subject I want to talk about, all the time, and we're both aware of the fact that there is absolutely no chance I might be a little fucking sensitive about them. Screw you, dude.

Oh come the fuck on. You're sensitive about everything. And we all already told you we don't give a fuck about your mutation, so could you give it a rest already?

Oh my god, shut your gaping roe hole! [ bristling on the word mutation. ] Can you not go splattering that all over a public feed?!

HEY EVERYONE. KARKAT VANTAS SPEWS ACID AND BITES THE HEADS OFF PURRBEASTS. OH AND HE HAS RED BLOOD AND CRIES DURING SHITTY MOVIES. The last is more a character defect, though!

You're a fucking idiot for thinking anyone here even cares. This place is filled to the brim with humans. Get over yourself.

You're a fucking idiot if you think no one cares! I've had humans give me shit for this, you enormous pus gargling turdgoblin, but you know what, fuck it, why should I expect my friends to respect the fact that I might not want an incredibly personal detail that was unbelievably difficult for me to share with my friends known by the world at large? Why should the fact that I care whether or not complete strangers are aware of that matter?

It doesn't! Of course it doesn't. Just go ahead, Sollux, make an entire network post proclaiming anything and everything I may have told you in confidence for all to see! Hack into the fucking screens in the Observatory, even, make sure everyone gets a load of what a worthless pile of petrified musclebeast leavings your apparent best friend is.

[ he is literally shaking with anger right now, but instead of getting louder, his voice seems to be getting quieter. not a good sign! ]

Fuck you.

[ and he disconnects. sollux may try and contact him again, but he will be ignored for quite some time. ]

[OOC: AS OF 12-22 Sollux's thread with Karkat is now locked to be private!!]
