[network] @genresavvy; video; night 199 [open]

[theurgy]

Hey.

[Cassel gives his tablet an exaggerated wave.]

So I was talking to Winter earlier, and she agreed to make an app for me. Whatever it is will interface with the technology around town wirelessly, or so she says, so we can use it on the servers in town hall. You know, assuming we ever get there. Anyway, she didn't actually give it to me yet, but I'll keep you all updated.

[A shining beacon of positivity. He sighs, raking his hand through his hair.]

In other news, my feet are fucking freezing, because no one gave me the heads up that I'd be taking the vacation from hell in the middle of Bumfuck, Alaska, so I need some shoes. Or socks, whatever, I'm not picky. I'll trade for them, but don't waste my time and try to scalp me. [There's the slightest pause.] Uh, thanks.

and you didnt stop to think that announcing that out in the open might be a bad idea
really

@genresavvy; video??? what am i doing

[theurgy]

Do you have a better way to get the word out? Sounds like Robert and Eve can read everything on the network and probably hear everything we're saying with the crazy surveillance around here, anyway. Should I do an interpretive dance?

[mrcreamsicles]

if there is do you think i would just go yeah bro here it is and slap it down in public

[theurgy]

Thanks for the insight, man. I'll keep it in mind.

[mrcreamsicles]

[Is that sarcasm, or him actually getting the subtext? Davesprite doesn't ask; that would defeat the point.]

anyway
id leave you shoes or socks if i had them but i obviously didnt bring any when i arrived and i havent found any since
you could ask ginger to knit you something maybe
if she knits
im not sure
but shes the go to chick for clothesmaking around here

[bloodbiter]

[She gives him a Look from her place across the room.]

Do you want to see if my boots would fit?

[theurgy]

[Ugh, Adelina! Cassel frowns at her Look, shaking his head.]

No, Adelina, it's fine. You need them, so keep them.

[bloodbiter]

[And yet, the Look persists.]

It's not as though I'm giving them to you permanently. Perhaps we could take turns.

[theurgy]

It's okay, seriously. If I don't find anything and I start getting frostbite or something, I'll think about it.

[bloodbiter]

You'll only think about it once you're already beginning to freeze?

[A sigh.]

[coyoteking]

What the bird kid said, but it looks like you got the message. Anyway, I know where some shoes are.

Question though: how tall are you? They might be kinda big.

@genresavvy; audio

[theurgy]

Six feet. Ish. What kind of shoes are they?

[coyoteking]

Oxfords. Not sure if that's much better than what you've got, but hey, they might actually fit, assuming you want them.

[theurgy]

Oh, yeah, I was hoping for boots or something. I've got sneakers right now.

@Spoiler ; video

[spoileralert]

Where are you right now? Just roughly, if you're not willing to say exactly.

@genresavvy; video

[theurgy]

We're by the school. Why?

[spoileralert]

Well, sometimes there are clothes in the school shed, but they're usually pretty small. I know there's a clothes shop downtown that might have shoes. If you can coordinate with someone already down there you might be able to get some within a couple of days.

[theurgy]

Right, got it. Thanks. We're heading east, but I'll see what I can find.

TELL ME ABOUT IT. I'VE HURTLED THROUGH SPACE ON A METEOR WITH DUBIOUS ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS AND IT WASN'T THIS FRIGID. IF I HAD NIPPLES THEY WOULD HAVE SNAPPED OFF AND TUMBLED TO THE FLOOR LIKE MINIATURE CALTROPS BY NOW. I AM CONTINUOUSLY AMAZED THAT MY EYES REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY LUBRICATED TO CLOSE, AND I LIVE IN CONSTANT DREAD THAT SHARDS OF ICE WILL SOON EXIT MY BODY INSTEAD OF ANY NATURAL FLUID, SHREDDING MY EXCRETORY ORGANS TO PIECES AS THEY GO.

@genresavvy; audio

[theurgy]

[There's a long pause.]

Uh. I'm not sure where to start untangling this, dude. You don't have nipples?

TEXT. THAT WAS TEXT. LIKE. FUCK. NEVERMIND

[quadrangle]

NOT A MAMMAL, SO NO.
TAKE YOUR TIME.

are you sure karkat can't talk in all gray capslocked courier

[theurgy]

Are you the alien that types like an asshole that Davesprite was talking about? What are you, a reptile or something?

@featherydouche; text; sometimes you just gotta threadjack I'm sorry (no I'm not)

[mrcreamsicles]

what do you mean if you had nipples
do you not have nipples
if you dont have nipples then how do you know how they react to the cold
who taught you about nipples karkat
was it rose
no wait it cant have been rose she was dating kanaya
was it dave
why was dave teaching you nipple facts
what the fuck happened on that meteor karkat

never be sorry

[quadrangle]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD I HAVE NIPPLES? I BARELY UNDERSTAND WHY HUMAN MALES HAVE NIPPLES WHEN YOU DON'T NURSE YOUR YOUNG. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
I ABSORBED HUMAN MEDIA OUT OF PURELY INTELLECTUAL INTEREST AND DAVE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO FILL IN A FEW BLANKS, THAT'S ALL. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED?

[mrcreamsicles]

look vantas i wasnt there
im still kind of boggling at what kind of mystery nipple media you were watching
you realize the harder you insist this was all pure and intellectual whatever the more questionable it sounds right
was it porn
were you gawking the human mammaries
did you hassle him about boobs

[Pause.]

does this mean trolls dont have boobs either
