[ 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.

What? Karkat, what dragon? [ A pause. ] Are you physically hurt, or is it magical?

No one. Just some dragon. That's not important, shut up. [ wow a little defensive there. ] It's magical.

I can't help with, like, the magic bit, but I could guide you around and junk.

You should try the clinic, then. There are lots of magical healers there.

It isn't as if you have anyone but yourself to blame.

Wow, yes, great idea, let me just pop right over there with my unparalleled skills of moonbase navigation, because you know, it's not like I can't see my way around or anything. Thanks for your help, Feferi! You really came through for me just there.

Yes Feferi, I would like to go! Okay Karkat, where would you like me to meet you, what room are you in?

I don't know. [ he hisses. ] And I never said I was going. I don't need a healer. I'm not hurt. I need some sort of magician.

[ well he is kind of lost right now, but he doesn't want to admit that if he doesn't have to. ]

I'm pretty much done with entrusting my mobility to gormless bulge chompers with little to no concept of the fact that they're supposed to stop me from bumping into shit, to be perfectly honest.

I know that! There are magical healers there too. If it is some kind of curse I would still say you should try there. At least you can trust them.

Aw, come on, man, I wouldn't do that! Seriously, I'll help you, you won't bump into anything, I promise.

How about you fuck off and choke on a sack of desiccated musclebeast shame globes? That sure sounds like something you should be doing.

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

Which one?

[ But he can guess who. :| ]

Why does it matter? [ suspiciously. he doesn't actually want to get khisanth in serious trouble... ] I think the more pressing issue is how the fuck I'm going to get my eyes back.

It's not going to happen.

[ of course alice will take hold of this opportunity to announce her superiority, especially after what happened.

she lets out an arrogant laugh, and along with that teasing will follow. ]

Hah! So useless Candy Horns is asking for help now. Maybe if you ask nicely I'll think about helping you.

[ can she even help? probably not. yeah, no. the answer is no. ]

Because due to past incidents I would just like to point to whoever it is that will be accusing me for whatever crime today and say, "Look, that wasn't me this time, you got the wrong dragon."

[ Although he may have been exaggerating, Aurican will never forget the trouble and headache when he was a mere baby dragon for simply being a dragon from other Transports and Exsilium natives. (And if Aurican knew he was accidentally parodying a crime drama, he would have said his excuse differently). ]

But I suppose that is neither here nor there. [ Because as being no longer a wyrmling, but rather an old dragon with sharper wit, any false accusations will be face with a venomous tongue. ] Have any luck with the medics? Have you received a guide?

I wouldn't ask you for help if I were dying a frothing, screaming death from troll rabies and you were in possession of the only known cure. [ STILL BUTTHURT even if she could help he wouldn't accept it from alice. ]

And why the hell should I trust you?

[there's a weird echo because he is TOTALLY IN THE NEXT ROOM and Karkat can probably hear him talk before it comes over the network. oh well. you know. yolo.]

You've gone blind? Why did you not mention it! I'll get you a dog right away!

Wow, why the fuck did you think I was bumbling all over the place, bouncing off the walls all week? I didn't mention it because it was painfully obvious to anyone with the faintest smear of brain tissue in their otherwise cavernous cranial hulls.

What is this, is blinding people a trend among your kind, is this actually a common thing, what kind of past incidents are we talking about? [ is his incredulous response. ] Okay, well, if it's really that much of a concern, I can confirm that it definitely wasn't you. This time. Ugh.

I've been told to go to the clinic, and I've been offered a seeing eye something, I'm assuming human, so this broadcast hasn't entirely been a bust, but I'm waiting in hopes of someone actually fixing my problem. It's probably far too optimistic of me, but whatever, a troll can dream.

[yeah, he's definitely in the next room.]

It was not some kind of intergalactic interspecies welcome? I had it a gap of culture.

On second thought, a dog may not be such a great idea. Perhaps the padded wrap would be in order ...

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