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.

[gnasher]

Too fucking bad. When do you wanna meet up?

[alienates]

Never.

[ a pause that lasts two seconds. ]

Are you free in an hour?

[gnasher]

Sure.

[ignore the burst of mental emotion that feels like a sweet summer day; now that the anger and fear is out of the way, time to cycle into happiness]

[alienates]

[ ... karkat isn't sure how to feel about rin's genuine happiness to see him because that's still. weird. so he'll just use this hour to regroup. ]

Okay fine bye.

[ #subtle ]

[gnasher]

Oi, where are we supposed to meet, idiot!

[alienates]

Shut up. Also where are we even meeting?

[gnasher]

That's what I just asked. Is there an echo in your empty head?

[alienates]

I've learned to tune your screechy voice out most of the time. It's the only way to stay sane.

[gnasher]

How about the new island above base?

[alienates]

Sure. I appreciate you all finishing that without me around. I know I'm usually sarcastic when I say I appreciate anything, but I genuinely mean it this time.

[gnasher]

C'mon, you're not the only one invested in making this place a little better than we found it. We're all stuck here.

[in this home......]
