HEY, HAS ANYONE SEEN ANY ALTERNIANS AROUND THAT ARE NOT ALL THAT TALL, LIKE, I'M NOT SAYING SUPER SHORT OR ANYTHING JUST A BIT ON THE NOT TALL SIDE, WITH HORNS THAT ARE KIND OF

NOT ALL THAT POINTY, OR LONG. KIND OF ROUND I GUESS BUT NOT IN AN UNDIGNIFIED WAY

AND OKAY BEFORE ANY OF THE TRAILBLAZERS ON HERE START GETTING "REAPHOOK YOU'RE DESCRIBING YOURSELF" THIS GUY IS AN ADULT AND HE WEARS A FRANKLY NAUSEATING AMOUNT OF BRIGHT FUCKING RED AND I SWEAR TO GOD I KEEP SEEING HIM OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE WHENEVER I GO OUTSIDE AND IT'S STARTING TO FREAKING ME OUT.

[Wherever Sollux is in the dorms, he sees the post and looks up from his computer, furrowing his brow.]

Are you going crazy or something.

[It's only sort of half a joke.]

[karkat's ears flick back in irritation]

No I'm fucking not! I keep seeing this guy like everywhere I go.

[nitrodamus]

But he's you.

As an adult.

[Um...?]

[10thingsihateaboutme]

Yeah, so? [ok that IS kind of dubious and weird. BUT HE KNOWS WHAT HE SAW! he attempts to take an authoritative tone.] I'm a superhero, that kind of weird ass bullshit happens to superheroes basically all of the fucking time.

[nitrodamus]

Okay but if he's you from the future why don't you just like. Tell him to fuck off or ask what he's doing or something.

[10thingsihateaboutme]

If I try to talk to him he just abruptly fucks off. [with mounting frustration] Why the fuck would you think I hadn't tried that already??

[nitrodamus]

I dunno I've never been stalked by my future self before.

Have you tried turning it on and off?

[bombsheltered]

oh my god! is someone stalking you??

[10thingsihateaboutme]

I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS HERE, LIKE MAYBE SOME KIND OF FUTURE GHOST PROJECTION TIME TRAVEL BULLSHIT OR SOMETHING.

[bombsheltered]

i'd say "is that even possible" but... :/

i'll keep an eye out if i see him!! he couldn't be anyone you know, could he??

[10thingsihateaboutme]

I AM PRETTY FUCKING SURE I WOULD REMEMBER A GUY WHO LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE ME EXCEPT TALLER AND BUFFER.

[bombsheltered]

that's even MORE suspicious! maybe someone should look into this. you're a trailblazer, right? why didn't you just go to condor? or... is that not an option??

[10thingsihateaboutme]

WELL YEAH, BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE KNEW ANYTHING FIRST.

[bombsheltered]

that makes sense. hmmm... was there any area of town you noticed him more??

[anonymous, as usual]

[starscheme]

...I believe I've seen your troll.

[10thingsihateaboutme]

WAIT, SERIOUSLY?

[starscheme]

Yes seriously, I don't joke about matters that involve inconveniencing someone that I hate.

[10thingsihateaboutme]

... OKAY, SURE. WHAT DO YOU KNOW.

[starscheme]

It's not safe for me to say on a public forum. I'll be in contact by other means.

[10thingsihateaboutme]

... OK FINE BUT I'M NOT GIVING YOU ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.

[starscheme]

As if I even wanted any!

How long has this been going on?

Re: text

[10thingsihateaboutme]

ONLY LIKE A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT THIS GUY, I DON'T KNOW, HE FREAKS ME OUT.

[Of course the description makes her think of Signless but it couldn't be him. She had seen Signless die. Even if there was some way he had been brought back to life...which she wouldn't let herself believe, why would he be acting this way around Karkat?]

What are some of the places that you've seen him?

[purrsuit]

you have a doppleganger too?
