[Having what he feels is a good sense of Karkat's personality, Dirk makes him a few shirts. Of course, Dirk makes them out of sweater material with a turtle neck and long sleeves, in grey and darker grey, because that seems to be what Karkat likes. It's signed in orange pen, "I assume you'll feel the need to say these things out loud anyway. --DS"]
[ it is the asscrack of dawn when jade comes through telepathically. ]
Is this a bad time?
[ time is fake. she hasn't slept for days, she thinks. ]

[ casual is good. it makes her feel a little safer. karkat has that effect on her; maybe it's the fact he never judges. or judges in the right way, at least. ]
Heh. I think my circadian rhythm is all messed up... Then again I don't know what troll circadian rhythms are like to begin with!

We were nocturnal so it was basically switched with humans. And then on the meteor it was always night time, so honestly, who the fuck even knows anymore. Sometimes you just suddenly find yourself asleep and you're not sure how it happened.
[ there was also the point where he just never slept at all, which... well. he Understands, jade. ]
What's it like there?

[ jade's side of the connection thrums with a thoughtful hum. ]
Five star resort! Hehehe...
[ a pause. ] No one has died, so it could be a lot worse.

[ that's still pretty bad.
he considers the situation. they're being tested on over there, and jade's the type to just smile when something's wrong so that she wouldn't worry anyone else. ]
It could being worse doesn't stop the current mess from being any less fucked up though.

...Yeah.
[ he's not wrong. karkat is the sort who cuts to the heart of the problem instantly, jade is the sort to dance around it. ]
They feed us and will not let any of us die. If I reject food, they make sure I get it in me somehow. They started out with blood panels and some injections. Do you know what time it is?

It's the middle of the night.
[ "will not let any of us die" has a different implication than saying none of them have died yet. it's more than a little uncomfortable to think that they're skirting along the edges of being too cruel just to make sure they still have test subjects. a little uncomfortable, but very enraging. ]
If that's what they started with, what are they doing now?
