wait, you were stranded? your ship broke?

[alienates]

WHY THE FUCK ELSE DO YOU THINK I WAS GONE FOR SO LONG?
I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT DAVE WAS THE ONLY ONE ACTUALLY CONCERNED FOR MY WELL BEING HERE.
JAKE THOUGHT I WENT ON VACATION.
BELIEVE ME, I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERENT COMPANY THEN.

[gnasher]

[sudden switch to an alarmed telepathy, slamming into Karkat's brain]

What the fuck! Why didn't you contact anybody? I figured you were just out on a long expedition!

[gnasher]

Idiot! This is why you tell people where you're going and what you're doing! Oi, you dumbass!

[alienates]

[ jegus that's alarming, he has to rub his head for a second. it's been a while since he's used telepathy. ]

It wasn't my fault, fuckass. We hit some current and it carried us off really far away. We were completely out of range with the base and for some reason telepathy wasn't working. We couldn't even use it with each other... not that I'm complaining about that part.

[gnasher]

Was anybody an experienced pilot? Haah? Haah?

[alienates]

Just so you know, if you're going to lecture me on everything I did wrong you can just stop right there because I am perfectly capable of doing that myself.

[ the current was really strong okay and it immediately fucked up their ship!! there really wasn't much they could do after that ]

[gnasher]

[have a messy sort of pause, because even a few months in Rin is still not very good at this whole telepathic bullshit and keeping his emotions out of his thoughts. he wants to keep yelling at Karkat in his brain, but it's -- a stupid and childish reaction to being scared, and he knows it. even if he thinks Karkat was being stupid, Karkat doesn't need his mistakes hammered into him]

[like a dam cracking and water streaming out, that unfocused unease/affection narrows back to focus;]

Fine. Oi, I'm concerned for your stupid well-being now, are you happy. What a pain in the ass guy you are.

[gnasher]

It's good you're back safe. -- And the others, too.

[alienates]

[ tch... the others... karkat ignores that part of the message he has Opinions on them but now is not the right moment to get into them. ]

I guess. It was probably a lot quieter with me gone.

[gnasher]

Like hell. We got even more people, and construction on the island and base has been going non-stop.

[gnasher]

There was something missing though, yeah.

[alienates]

Obnoxiousness, probably.

[gnasher]

You, jackass.

So yeah.

[gnasher]

Plus you flaked on our training lessons.

[alienates]

When do I ever miss those? Never. That should have been your first hint that I was tragically lost at sea!

[ now he is annoyed there wasn't a vigil in his honor? he doesn't know what a vigil is. ]

1/2

[gnasher]

[ah; there's a sudden sharp dissonance all of a sudden, one of those mental twangs down a taut wire]

Don't joke about that.

[gnasher]

[but after another second, something less vulnerable]

I thought you were sulking about troll Matthew Mcconaughey. And then Dirk said you'd gone off, or whatever, and that it was typical for you guys to not leave any notes. He wasn't worried, so I wasn't.

[alienates]

[ well, karkat obviously hit a nerve. he decides not to press it for now though. ]

Oh. Alright I guess. Also still fuck you about that film.

[ karkat doesn't think dirk likes him so he isn't too surprised at him not being worried lmao... ]

[gnasher]

Shut up, and still fuck you for ditching the base without saying anything. Next time leave me a voicemail at least, oi.

[alienates]

I didn't think we'd be gone for that long! And I told Dave I was heading out.

[ that's enough right????? ]

[gnasher]

I wanna hang out today, but it'll have to be after I'm done wanting to strand you again.

[alienates]

Are you sure that will go away after just one day? Maybe we'll need to schedule it for a week from now.

[gnasher]

Who can tell with these things? We'll have to see.

[alienates]

Well fine I didn't want to hang out with you anyway.
