[darkinferno]

sounds good

is this her?

[alienates]

That's the witch.
You can talk to her.

[darkinferno]

don't worry, i was planning on it

i won't make you deal with her

[alienates]

Ok cool.
I'll keep an eye out for anyone else who might be interested in this sort of thing.
You never know when we will eventually have to go to war against Retrospec so better be prepared.

[darkinferno]

great, i was hoping you would

exactly. it's gonna come down to a fight sooner or later, so better that we're all prepared and know how to protect ourselves

[alienates]

Especially since some people don't seem to be remembering more extreme shit?
So we should probably have to prepare to look after the ones who aren't suddenly going to be able to shoot lasers out of their eyes or something.

[darkinferno]

i don't know, it might be one of those "matter of time" things. a friend of mine hadn't remembered ANYTHING even though he's been on the network since the start and then a few days ago he remembered fighting some sort of demon

but even if that's the case you're right, just in case they haven't remembered anything by that point we should still be ready to protect them

do you actually know anyone who's remembered shooting lasers out of their eyes or is that something you pulled out of your ass

it's bullshit that i have to actually ask that question

[alienates]

As far as I know no one has actually shot lasers out of their eyes but now that I said that, it's probably going to happen next week.
You'll be walking down the street and wave at someone and suddenly they're accidentally shooting heat vision at you because they chose that inconvenient moment to gain superpowers.
Hmmmm
Well, true irony would be you getting it.

[darkinferno]

i'd better not, i've gotten enough bullshit memories out of this so far

apparently i could summon up monsters i think that's more than enough

[alienates]

Wait wait wait wait
Is that a thing you can actually do right now or is it just something you remember doing??

[darkinferno]

just a memory right now

i can summon a sword, but not any of the monsters i remember

which is probably a good thing

[alienates]

Were they like, horrible eat your face kind of monsters??

[darkinferno]

[...what the hell, Karkat?]

i tried to keep them AWAY from my face so i don't know if they would've eaten it if they had the chance

i remember black shadowy monsters that tried to claw at you, bigger ones with swords, and ones that attacked by biting. are you trying to ask if i remember any in particular?

[alienates]

[ it's a legit question, shut up. ]

Yeah.
When people talked through shit I remembered with me, it helped trigger even more stuff.
So maybe doing that will work with you??
If you want.

[darkinferno]

[It is! But he hadn't been expecting Karkat, of all people, to make an offer like this. Karkat's apparently faster to drop a grudge than he'd thought.]

okay, why not

so how should we do this, do i describe the monsters i've already remembered or do you want to start?

[alienates]

[ he definitely holds grudges but he's also the type to Get Down To Business when it matters. ]

Ok I'm going to ask a few questions and making you think about shit might work?
It's how it worked for me.
So when you summoned them were you doing anything in particular?

[darkinferno]

sounds good, hit me

[...even if Karkat's very first question is one he doesn't want to answer. Okay, this might be a little more difficult than he was expecting. He really doesn't want to get into the details of this memory...]

yeah i said "watch this" held out my hand and watched one of them pop out of the ground in response

[alienates]

Hmmmm
Do you know who you were talking to?
Like did you see them, and if you did was it someone you recognized?

[darkinferno]

[WHY THIS HE IS A GOOD PERSON fuck it's karma isn't it]

yeah, i'm pretty sure i know exactly who it was

it's someone else that's on the network

i can't say i liked him too much

[alienates]

[ face your demons. your... adorable, shadow demons. ]

Are you close to them?
Or is it someone who only vaguely know????

[darkinferno]

[does facing them mean adopting them as pets bc he could get behind that honestly]

let's go with "vaguely know"

i've talked with him a few times but only because he won't leave me alone

and i didn't know him before he showed up on the network

[alienates]

Ok I am in a similar situation then, where someone I barely know has shown up in memory shit I've gotten.
Which is weird because other people I know actually are friends with the people who have shown up in theirs that are on the network??
Do you know if this guy has gotten any?
Wait why the fuck won't he leave you alone.

[darkinferno]

maybe we should just use names, this is getting a little hard to follow

anyways, i don't know if he's gotten any yet, it's not like i've asked but i'm sure it's just a matter of time

and he won't leave me alone because for some reason he hasn't gotten the memo that i'm an asshole yet and he apparently thinks if he pesters me enough i'll give in and we'll all sing kumbaya and be best friends forever or something

[alienates]

Hahahahaha
So he's one of THOSE types of people.
Dante, I am afraid you are royally fucked and will now have a puppy.
Just hope he isn't the kind who'll shit on everything.

Anyway it'll probably be good if he sticks around anyway.
You can get info out of him probably.

[darkinferno]

i'm taking him back to the shelter i didn't sign up for this

i'm not sure it's even worth getting info out of him to have to see his face around more often. is that what you're doing with the person you talked about?

but i don't really feel like dealing with more memories with him in it
