shoosh[ this is a video. just a normal, shaky-hand video. what is it a video of? a bed. a very comfy looking human bed with crisp white sheets and fluffy pillows and a awesome looking bouncy mattress and it looks all soft and warm and oh my god.
and then there's this kid. this horrifying, grey-skinned kid with shark-like teeth and horns on his head that look like candy corn. and he's just... staring. at the bed. all befuddled and a little bit angry. ]
How do I use this thing? It's like you humans go out of your way to make yourselves uncomfortable.
[ excuse him, he's just used to being suspended in slime while he sleeps. obviously. ]

Date: 2011-06-20 05:23 am (UTC)[ recalling traumatic experiences is something he sure wanted to do today. ]
It started off as a duel between Eridan and Sollux. Some friendly fight, like they've always done. Only this time Eridan won. Sollux was knocked out and blinded. His teeth also got smashed out somehow that I don't have anything to do with. Feferi lunged at Eridan and he... he fucking killed her.
Then you went to attack him. You can probably guess what happened next.

And he killed Feferi and then... oh god, Karkat, I need to go talk to him! No one else has told him about this, have they?

Date: 2011-06-20 05:30 am (UTC)I might have mentioned it.

Date: 2011-06-20 10:11 am (UTC)Look, just let me deal with it, okay? Let me talk to him and get this sorted out. I'll take care of him.

Date: 2011-06-20 10:44 am (UTC)I'd do it anyway, whether you told me to or not. He's my moirail, Karkat; he's my responsibility now.

Eridan and I are moirails now, but that's fairly recent. The only other troll here is Sollux.
Have you seen him yet, Karkat? I'm sure he'd be really happy to see you!
[Because the two of you were hovering towards being flushed for each other, but she's too polite to mention that.]

Thank you for being honest with me, Karkat. You've given me a lot to think about.

Date: 2011-06-21 02:44 am (UTC)Now I can try and change things, at least.

Date: 2011-06-21 03:08 am (UTC)Just... don't be too hard on Eridan, okay? He's trying, as best he can, to be a good troll... it's just hard for him. He has a lot of emotional baggage that needs to be sorted through.

Date: 2011-06-21 04:29 am (UTC)The thing is, though... from his viewpoint, he's not lying. You two were is a kismesistude here, and you both seemed pretty happy with it.
Food for thought, I suppose.

Date: 2011-06-21 10:12 am (UTC)Like I said, I'll talk to him. It's probably best that the two of you don't meet face to face for a few days. I'll do my best to run interference, but don't actively antagonize him either; he'll misinterpret your intentions.

You just worry about getting settled in and getting used to Somarium; I'll take care of Eridan and get back to you later.
Bye, Karkat!
