[ A gasp! Don't bring the messy world of politics into this ]
Even with politics, there is a lot of good left in the world! Like playtime with Uncle Karkat and Uncle Ryoji! So let's preserve childhood innocence while we can, alright?
[ Thank goodness family dinners will be limited to only one Thanksgiving a year. Ryoji settles himself in the living room while Karkat goes to corral the other cats; on his own, he can brainwash little Katkat with talk of sunshine and rainbows without the interruption of reality, though the kitten is uninterested and more content to pounce at the ring Ryoji dangles above its head, pulling the chain just out of reach with every jump. ]
Yeah I have all of that shit. Like steal a Retrospec item? How the fuck are you going to know if something is a Retrospec item or not unless they tell you?
[ LIKE ???? god he hates bingo but he's still doing it anyway. ]
That's true... Strange weapons are the easiest to guess at, especially for those who wouldn't normally own them, second to items that people talk about on Retrospec itself.
[ He holds up his ring, the band cold despite being handled. ]
This is what I received from Retrospec. It feels important, and private somehow... like something that shouldn't be paraded in front of others.
[ he points over to a large, purple laptop that's tucked in the corner. and then at another corner where there seems to be... some sort of sharp object, it's hard to tell from where they are. ]
I got those. The laptop's ugly as hell and the sickle falls under the strange weapons clause.
[ It's a good thing he's kitten-less at the moment, because curiosity gets the better of him and he's in that corner in a second, picking up the sickle because maybe Karkat means something that looks like a sickle but isn't— yeah, it's a sickle, and that's a sharp blade. ]
You can't just leave this lying around- it should be in storage somewhere!
Then you open the combination lock of the safety deposit box. It takes less than a minute, and will save you time because you'll know exactly where it is.
has no idea if that counts or not but ryoji did technically just steal it from him??? he looks down at where the ring once was in his fingers... then snorts. ]

Hey Katkat, taxes are real and they're coming for you. And you don't have thumbs so how the fuck are you going to pay them?
[ he's bullying a kitten. ]

What if Ryoji just picks up Katkat and walks away, goodbye ]
You don't have to worry about taxes, Katkat, because I will love and support you forever.
no subject
You're going to become disenchanted with the world after you understand how politics work, Katkat!

I'm going to find out where the other cats are. You can continue to make yourself acquainted.

Hey, I was wondering. Are you doing bingo?
no subject
Retrospec bingo? I've been trying, but some are more difficult to fill than others. What about you?
no subject
Same. Some were a piece of cake to figure out and others just have you staring at your screen thinking, who the fuck came up with this?

[ also, it's awesome. he may have accidentally minorly stabbed himself a few times but it was worth it to have a goddamn sick as hell sickle. ]
no subject
[ And never use it, never see it, just pretend it doesn't exist. ]

[ what if there's a final boss battle, ryoji. what if. ]

[ look having dangerous weapons around is fine? what's the worst that can happen?
... although now he has an idea. ]
Hey, can I see the ring?
no subject
[ Ryoji's fairly certain. Anyways, he holds the ring up for Karkat to see— with his eyes, not his hands. ]
no subject
he has a bingo square to fill. so he's going to attempt to see it with his hands. ]
no subject
Don't put it on.
no subject
[ he couldn't just ask ryoji to hand it to him because then it wouldn't be "stealing"... sorry bro. ]
no subject
[ Oh. Oh, the stealing square, since they were talking about Retrospec items. If that's the case...
He snatches the ring from Karkat's hands. ]
Then I can just steal this back.
[ He counts as "someone" too?? It works, they've conquered bingo. ]
no subject

That's fair.
