OH MY FUCKING GOD!
DID HE TELL YOU? WHO TOLD YOU?
IT WAS DAVE, RIGHT?
AND NOT LIKE. DIRK. OR SOMETHING.
OH! MY FUCKING GOD!

[gnasher]

wait why are you upset, didn't you want me to meet him?

dirk and i don't talk about peoples' love lives.

[should he get dave in trouble?? it seems like telling him dave did it will get him in trouble]

[..................]

nobody told me, i just figured it out.

[alienates]

JEGUS FUCK.
WE MIGHT AS WELL TELL THE WHOLE WORLD AT THIS POINT!!
WHO EVEN CARES ANYMORE? NOT ME.

[gnasher]

[friend (he did call them friends, they are friends, it's not a big deal? it's not) is upset. time to go all out]

what are you implying? you think anybody else has my level of observation? or my closeness to the situation, given you literally made us hang out? you've seen how people on this base are about romance, they're completely clueless. nobody knows, apart from me and i guess dirk and dave. and whoever else you told. that's it.

it's your own business, nobody's going to know unless you want them to.

[alienates]

......

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF HIM?

[gnasher]

[...]

you want my opinion?

[dave was right, because of course he was]

[alienates]

WELL. YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE, RIGHT?
YOU CAN'T WATCH AN ENTIRE SBAHJ FILM WITH A PERSON AND NOT COME OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE WITH SOME TYPE OF FEELINGS.
SO LIKE... YOU MIGHT AS WELL SHARE THEM.
WITH ME.
SINCE I ASKED?

[gnasher]

[this is touching but -- ]

we watched two. i asked for another.

[your punishments mean nothing.........................]

[gnasher]

[but anyway]

i liked him. he's a cool guy, and easy to get along with, even if he's weirdly strict about juice.

[gnasher]

thanks for introducing us.

[alienates]

[ karkat could be feeling a lot of things right now. relief? joy? but instead of focusing on these things, emotions that could strengthen his bond with rin, there is something very important to address. ]

Bullshit. Why the ever loving fuck would you watch two.

[gnasher]

because i can take anything you dish out, and more.

[competitions are Important and this is why they're friends in the first place]

[alienates]

OH YEAH?
LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN KEEP THAT GRIN ON YOUR FACE AFTER I BEAT YOUR ASS A SECOND TIME.
I AM ASSUMING YOU'RE GRINNING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU'RE A DOUCHE.
BUT YOU CAN BRAG ALL YOU WANT BUT THE SCORE IS STILL 1-0 IN MY FAVOR.

[gnasher]

that's because you've been too intimidated to challenge me. it's alright, i understand.

[alienates]

MORE LIKE I'VE BEEN GIVING YOU TIME TO LICK YOUR WOUNDS.
IT WOULDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE A WIN IF I BEAT YOU AGAIN WHEN YOU'RE STILL TRAUMATIZED FROM THE LAST TIME YOU FAILED TO BEST ME.
BUT FINE.
WE'RE STARTING A NEW ROUND.

[gnasher]

the only wounds i have are from your dumbass stunt in the cave.

what's the challenge? do i have to play videogames with your boyfriend this time? get some coffee with him? start a book club?

[alienates]

[ karkat spends 36 seconds rolling around in despair at the teasing FUCK U RIN???????? ]

NO, I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE.
FIRST PERSON TO GET DIRK TO SMILE RINS.

[gnasher]

"RINS"?/

[it's like he just tripped into a pool of steak and money]

[alienates]

[ karkat is like ???? until he scrolls up




well that's embarrassing ]

FUCK OFF.

[gnasher]

i'm glad you have confidence in me. not surprised, either, since i've already basically done it.

[gnasher]

[...]

sort of. i think? what counts, let's talk parameters

[alienates]

THE SHAPE OF HIS MOUTH NEEDS TO ACTUALLY CHANGE.
SO NO SLIGHT QUIRK OF THE LIP.
BOTH ENDS NEED TO GO UPWARD FOR IT TO COUNT.
PREFERABLY, A PICTURE SHOULD BE TAKEN BUT THAT'S PUSHING IT A BIT.

[gnasher]

have you seen it before?

[alienates]

I KNOW IT EXISTS.
THE STUFF OF LEGEND, ONLY REALLY SEEN BY A CHOSEN FEW.
DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ADD YOURSELF TO THOSE RANKS?

[gnasher]

[well no not really but THIS IS A CHALLENGE SO]

easily, as long as we level the playing field fairly. you've got a home team advantage.
