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.

Yeah, because you have the fucking leisure to hide it!

[10thingsihateaboutme]

SO?? You would too if it was this!

[nitrodamus]

Not from YOU!

[YELLING]

[10thingsihateaboutme]

Why the FUCK NOT??

[count down until someone flips this table]

[nitrodamus]

Because we were a TEAM!

[And this is where he tears up from getting emotional, it was inevitable.]

We were supposed to be doing this TOGETHER!

[10thingsihateaboutme]

[god FUCKING damnit]

Oh yeah, what a fucking amazing idea, tell your team you don't deserve to be alive, that'll really fucking boost morale, why the hell didn't I think of that!!

[nitrodamus]

If you didn't deserve to be alive it would be because you're so fucking STUPID YOU PIECE OF SHIT!

[10thingsihateaboutme]

Fuck you!!! Fuck you, you don't know shit! You're so messed up about the fact you don't have any powers now and you think everybody's out to fucking get you, that's what I was like all the goddamn time back on Alternia! Literally fucking anybody could have found out and slaughtered me and I didn't want it to be someone I actually fucking – [snarls!] fuck, fuck this, fuck you, I'm fucking – 

[stumbles on a chair in his haste to STORM OUT. THWARTED]

[nitrodamus]

[Sollux doesn't move to pursue him, but instead he just keeps yelling, getting more and more emotionally compromised.]

Anybody could kill anyone for fucking anything on Alternia! We're fucking lowbloods you dunce, no one even gives a shit about how low you can go! It's all the same beastshit! That's why we fucking left!

[10thingsihateaboutme]

[turns around, bristling]

It's not the fucking same, you crater panned shit smear – I would have slaughtered a god damn Imperial legion to be a fucking lowblood, you have no fucking idea –

[nitrodamus]

Why don't you fucking trust me?!

[screech]

[10thingsihateaboutme]

I didn't trust anyone! What the fuck is your problem??

[nitrodamus]

I trusted you!

[10thingsihateaboutme]

I trusted you with other stuff, holy fuck, I didn't tell anybody about this shit, okay, why is this such a big goddamn deal?

[nitrodamus]

Because you thought I would fucking kill you!

[10thingsihateaboutme]

I thought any rational fucking troll would kill me! I was going to tell everyone, okay, I was just trying to – fuck – to prove I could do something worth shit first so that maybe you wouldn't all think I was garbage when you found out!

[nitrodamus]

[That slows him down. He's still angry, and he still thinks it's fucking stupid, but at least it makes sense. Sort of.]

That's dumb.

[Though now his tones are more of a mumble than a scream.]

[10thingsihateaboutme]

[he huffs out a long, frustrated breath through his teeth]

No shit it was dumb, look how that turned out.

[nitrodamus]

No, I mean that doing cool shit was never going to change the way anybody looked at you for something like that. It's kind of completely unrelated.

[10thingsihateaboutme]

[sullenly] Fuck you, no it isn't.

[nitrodamus]

[He sits back down at the table, groaning in annoyance and frowning at his computer screen instead.]

You're a dumbshit, KK.

[10thingsihateaboutme]

[Karkat digs his nails into his palms, scowling]

Whatever, asshole, I don't have to explain this shit to you. I'm fucking done here.
