the worst one of my friends from back home does is use about thirty-six emojis to say stuff like "meet me at the beach."

[alienates]

DO YOU EVER DO ANYTHING THAT'S NOT SWIMMING RELATED?
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR FRIENDS ARE THE SAME.

[gnasher]

i don't know what makoto's said about our town, but there's basically the ocean, our houses and schools, a bunch of sand, and one bar we're too young to go to. that's all.

but shut up, i like other sports, music, and skateboarding.

[alienates]

I'M NOT GOING TO JUDGE YOU FOR BEING MARRIED TO THE OCEAN.
I MEAN, I AM.
BUT NOT ANYMORE THAN I JUDGE EVERYONE ELSE.
SO IT'S THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF JUDGMENT.

[gnasher]

do you ever do anything that's not judgement related?

[gnasher]

i'm not the one who made a fish pun, either. are you just having complicated emotions about swimming and lashing out at me?

[like Rin does, every day of his life since birth]

[alienates]

NO!!
STOP TRYING TO TWIST THIS SITUATION AROUND.
WHO SAID THAT WAS EVEN A PUN ANYWAY?
IT WASN'T A PUN UNTIL YOU CALLED IT ONE.
IT WAS JUST A COMPLETE COINCIDENCE AND YOU KNOW IT BUT YOU TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING THAT IT'S NOT.

[gnasher]

wanna go swimming later?

[alienates]

FUCK YOU.
YOU'RE NOT FUNNY.

[gnasher]

i bet you actually ground your teeth.

[alienates]

I'LL GROUND YOUR TEETH, I SWEAR TO FUCK.
YOU SEEM WAY TOO PROUD OF YOURSELF RIGHT NOW.
I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU DID NOT WIN THIS ROUND OF... WHATEVER THIS IS.

[Karkat recieves a screenshot of Rin's Matsuogo, Dirk's app for his goals, which has the category "Beat Karkat" now, under which the very first item is "Beat Karkat in This Round of Whatever This Is"]

[this is followed by a screenshot of his first ironic medal from Wiz, and it's beautiful]

[alienates]

[ ]

[gnasher]

is that the one you got?

[alienates]

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO FITS THAT DESCRIPTION.
AND IT IS YOU.

[gnasher]

[wherever Karkat is, a drone whizzes up to him, delivering a medal for Karkat to have, all his own]

[]

[alienates]

[ karkat angrily shoves it into his mouth, chews on it for a bit... that's a lot of chewing... oh god, it's making him gag. he spits it out.

so spitefully eating it did not work out. ]

NICE AWARE YOU HAVE THERE.
YOU'RE A LITTLE TOO PROUD OF IT THOUGH, TO BE SHOWING IT OFF LIKE THIS.
WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT BEING HUMBLE?

[gnasher]

you never answered me on the swimming thing.

[alienates]

FINE I GUESS.
SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT MY ATTENTION SO BADLY.
I SHOULD BE KIND ENOUG TO GIVE IT TO MY ADORING PUBLIC.

[gnasher]

i was joking. what do you think i do, swim all day? seriously? jeez, you want to hang out that bad?

[alienates]

*PLEASE.*
YOU HAVE BASICALLY IMPRINTED ON ME, RIN.
DON'T TRY TO TURN THIS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

[gnasher]

[trolling has turned to him being embarrassed, like it typically does]

humans don't imprint, baby ducklings do. and maybe baby trolls, looks like.

[alienates]

I THOUGHT WE ALREADY REACHED THE CONCLUSION THAT YOU'RE LIKE.
HALF TROLL, SOMEHOW.
AND APPARENTLY HALF BABY DUCKLING I GUESS.

[gnasher]

what? wait, shut up, i can't tell if you're joking on text. i'm not half troll?

[gnasher]

and you can't have three halves what the fuck
