WELCOME BACK AND DOES THIS MEAN WE CAN MUTUALLY AGREE TO FORGET THAT EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS NEVER HAPPENED? OR AT LEAST SOME OF THEM. YOU KNOW THE ONES.

yep

[private]

though im going to say first
sorry for the bucket thing
and like everything else relating to that
i was a dumbass who didnt know what he was talking about
and basically just trolled my own self from the past in the process

OH GOD. OK FIRST OFF I SAID "MUTUALLY AGREE TO FORGET" AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT THAT WAS AMONG THE THINGS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FORGETTING. SO JUST. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHATEVER.
SECOND I UH
I WASN'T THE BEST ABOUT THE MEMORY LOSS THING. IT WAS JUST HARD, YOU KNOW? SO, SORRY ABOUT HOW IMPATIENT I WAS WITH YOU AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

i am allowed to apologize for my egregious dipshittery before the forgetting takes place
especially when the dipshittery is of that caliber
im talking like
if you had a whole industrial complex devoted to monkeys jamming sticks into crap it would not equal the level of dipshittery that took place
i still want the pillow but the answer was not to do stuff that could probably be taken as weird hateflirting
i dont even got a good excuse for the bucket thing because you literally explained it the night before but there i went
yep
gonna reenact something probably featured in kinky troll porno just to fluster him
because bukkakeing my travel buddy with snow is totally gonna convince him to trade
what the fuck was i thinking
anyway forgetting that now and dropping it forever

[Just imagine a very final throat-clearing here. He is doing so in his heart.]

you werent that bad really
i can understand why you got all worked up about that anomaly
and you did a pretty good job explaining stuff when i asked the other night
you could have told me no or said id just remember later so not to worry about it or even told me fuck off because you didnt want to handle it
but you went ahead and did it even though it sucked
and
i dunno
it wasnt great to hear it but id rather be told than be left out of the loop
so thanks for that

[Oh goddammit.]

OK I KNOW THINGS RARELY IF EVER TURN OUT IN MY FAVOR BUT I WAS REALLY HOPING YOU WOULD NEVER CONNECT THOSE PARTICULAR DOTS AND GRASP THE IMPLICATIONS OF, YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING. THAT HAPPENED. THAT STUFF WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT. ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT FORGET I SAID ANYTHING JUST NOW TOO. THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD JUST PRETEND THIS EXCHANGE ALSO NEVER TOOK PLACE.

[Even with that being said, he has to catch himself before he writes something about how he's pretty sure the Dave from the meteor wouldn't have picked up on it or at least would have required more exposure to troll culture than Davesprite had had before figuring it out, but he's... no. Let it not have happened. He's embarrassed himself enough.]

SO UH
YOU'RE WELCOME? FOR THE REST OF IT. BUT I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD NEED TO THANK ME FOR THAT ANYWAY SINCE... IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUCKED UP TO NOT TELL YOU ABOUT IT? THEY'RE YOUR MEMORIES, NOT MINE. AND WHILE IT MAY HAVE BEEN UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF TIMES WORSE FOR YOU, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU WERE ASKING WHAT WAS BASICALLY A COMPLETE STRANGER ABOUT IT.

dude
you had this whole freudian moment where you said put out
and i asked then if you thought i was trying to hit on you
so of course now that i remember what you even told me about your kiss mess hatemance square of course im gonna put two and two together
also stop talking about it because its making the whole forget and drop it part kind of hard to comply with

[Moving on, no really, let's try this shit again.]

you were less a stranger than other people i could have asked
at least youre actually from my world
and its something weve talked about before
imagine me asking somebody else i had the vague friendly impression about only to learn whoops i never told them
theyd end up doing the whole sad face concern thing at me and i dont want that
or asking jade
thank fuck i didnt ask jade
i dont need to weigh her down with this
so like thanks for being in my physical vicinity and also for doing a bro a solid is what im trying to get across here
which i kind of already said but whatever heres round 2 for the road

NO THAT WAS
UH. CULTURAL DIFFERENCES. OR SOMETHING.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.

[If Davesprite is listening very closely, he may be able to hear a distant thud as Karkat hits his head against a nearby wall.]

ANYWAY SO
WHATEVER, YOU'RE WELCOME. I MEAN NOT WHATEVER, BUT I STILL DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD NEED TO THANK ME BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT BROS DO, RIGHT? YOU'D DO THE SAME FOR ME.
THEN AGAIN YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT ME AS I DO ABOUT YOU, BUT YOU'D STILL TRY. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

"uh" bullshit "or something"
if you have a troll will smith there is no way you dont have a troll freud
you know exactly what im talking about
just listen ok cause im gonna make this clear and easy
i wasnt hitting on you
im not going to hit on you
i am fucking amazed the homo alarms i warned you about didnt manifest into reality over the whole thing but that does not stop my staunch disinterest from being a thing
youre safe from calisthenics or whatever that word was

[And in return Karkat will hear from another room:]

Stop trying to beat up the architecture.

[And back to text:]

lets just call it even
and hope that me repeating your past to you doesnt become a thing thats necessary

IT'S "KISMESIS," YOU DENSE FUCK.
BUT FINE, WHATEVER! I DON'T CARE ANYWAY. LIKE I SAID, NEVER GOING TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH YOU IN ANY QUADRANT, BLAH BLAH. WE'RE DONE.

[He is not going to shout anything back, he is above shouting anything back, Davesprite has another thing coming if he thinks he's going to shout anything back—]

Stop making up words!

[... shut up. What are calisthenics, anyway?]

[Davesprite puts the tablet down to come on floating through the house to wherever short, dark, and shouty has squirreled himself away.]

What are you talking about? Architecture is totally a word.

[So he says with a knock against the door frame once he finds him. He looks tired in a way that transcends physical exhaustion, but is staunchly ignoring it.]

[Davesprite is immediately greeted by another thunk when he arrives, then a slow blink once Karkat turns to face him. Are they really doing this right now?]

Cali-whatever. You know what I meant.

[Asshole. He sighs and sets his tablet aside, though, shoving his hand immediately into his pocket once it's free.]

So, what's up?

[Like they weren't just talking. Yes. Best stance to take.]

Calisthenics. You know, exercise? I don't remember the word you used for your kiss-me-sister quadrant but it was cali-something, and you were the one acting all disappointed that I didn't want to be the scrublord to test how ripped you were.

[So long as they've forgotten this whole subject they're not talking about. It's an answer, okay.]

This is easier than yelling across the house.

[oh god]

Caliginous! And that's not—I wasn't disappointed, you ignoramus! Why the fuck would I be interested in you?

[He isn't. Really, he isn't. Davesprite had just come at him shirtless, fresh out of the shower, and been all enticingly aggressive and challenging and, okay, you know what, he's putting a stop to this line of thought right now. The point is, he's not interested.]

Look, can we just drop it? Completely. Forever. No hints about how incredibly not platonic your advances were, nothing about me making any kind of Freudian slip, and especially not a single goddamn word about any homo sirens! Those aren't even a thing, so stop talking about them like they are!

I don't know, I'm not the one who got all worked up when I didn't fight back.

[But the rest—]

How am I supposed to drop it when you keep doing this? Of course it was platonic. I'm straight, and even if I wasn't, I don't get your hate romance and I don't want to get it. I was just hassling you because being a jackass is what I do. I didn't know you were going to interpret it as some kind of weird fight-flirting.

[IT KEEPS HAPPENING]

I know that already! You think I want to be reminded that humans don't do those things? Or that I even need reminding that most of you are human-straight or whatever the fuck you call it?! It's just the way you were acting, you—I know it doesn't mean anything to you, but I've never had anyone interested in me in that way and I got carried away, is that what you want to hear?! And I'm so FUCKING sorry that I offended your human sensibilities with it, but hey, I guess that makes us even now! So can we please stop talking about it?!

Edited (words?!) 2017-02-20 09:22 (UTC)

[Human-straight? Does that mean trolls...? No, never mind, that's just another derail waiting to happen and they've been somersaulting back and forth through this topic enough already. He exhales through his nose and pulls his composure back, somehow easier when Karkat's there to counterbalance with his own emotionality.]

Alright, fine. Consider it dropped. Good luck with your troll problems.

[And he turns with the intent of heading back to the other bedroom if not interrupted.]

[After how fucking humiliating that conversation had been, yeah, no, he's not lifting a finger to stop him. Away you go, Davesprite, and don't mind if Karkat just. Aggressively ignores the fuck out of you for the next new hours. It isn't nearly as bad as the so-called snow bukkake adventure, but it's still pretty bad. No more for him, he is done.]

[Davesprite's going to hole up, wish he had some Tylenol for this headache that he's developing, and take his actual pills for the paranoia he's been trying to deny the past couple days. He's going to have more people to talk to about this, probably, and there's plenty of personal junk he has yet to process. Stuff like his own issues he was told about and the fact that neither Clint nor Natasha seem to be back yet.]

[Today sucks already.]

Good to know you're back to being yourself, Davesprite. You're doing okay, now?

hey claire
im ok
alive and kicking
or not kicking but whatever the floaty nonleg kick equivalent is
squirming?
nvm
how have you been holding up

How're you holding up?

[He's not really looking to talk about things, but he still worries. Because he is in fact a secret mother hen.]

[Oh, Church. It's nice to get the concern, and a little strange, too. He replied to the post before, didn't he? He wasn't one he expected it from.]

eh
dont feel like using audio
but the memories are worth the headache they came with
thanks for trying to help before

oh, you know, watched people die before my eyes, discovered angels are apparently real, got burns all over the place, have has to treat House. Everything hunky dory.

I'm glad you're good. Do you need anything?

to know what the fuck happened primarily
can anything just fucking chill for two seconds in this town

I fucking wish.

[She's not one for swearing excessively, but she feels him, there. Very much.]

Anyway, I was with Strange when we got got by an anomaly.He's been back for a few days now, he's fine.

[Sort of.]
