Good.

[ Davesprite left that message, right? Karkat knows that they died by now. ]

I fear I made you both wait.

[quadrangle]

[His brow furrows.]

What do you mean?

[absentconstellation]

I have only just woken up. I imagine you have both been awake some time.

[quadrangle]

[The Cat had revived after them, then? That's... weird, but not the most unusual thing about this situation.]

For a little while. Not too long.

[He glances across the way to Davesprite, then refocuses on the gray carpet.]

It's probably worse, having to wake up here first.

[absentconstellation]

[ Unfortunately he has no concept of how long it's been. He's relieved that it wasn't too long. ]

It is unexpected, but not entirely unpleasant. I only wish that I had not been given clothes in the mean time.

[ He's not a fan of the hospital gown. ]

[quadrangle]

[It's just enough of a non sequitur to leave him momentarily flummoxed, but then... fuck, what the hell. Is nothing sacred?]

Can't you wiggle out of it or something?

[absentconstellation]

The sleeves are giving me difficulty.

[ He's been trying, okay, but he doesn't really want people watching him while he flails around desperately trying to get out of this gods-cursed thing. ]

[quadrangle]

[The Cat is a close enough friend that he feels bad for finding that even slightly amusing. If they were anywhere but here and Pounce had found himself in a similar predicament, Karkat would feel no compunctions at all about laughing, but with the way things are...]

Sorry I can't help you.

[It's just heaping insult on injury at this point.]

[absentconstellation]

It isn't your fault.

[ Hes going to keep trying though. This is not dignified. ]

[quadrangle]

[He sighs.]

Yeah, but it's still shitty. Do you have an entire cell to yourself too?

[absentconstellation]

I do. It all seems quite excessive.

[quadrangle]

[He has to shrug, even knowing Pounce won't see it.]

It's better that you have more room.

[absentconstellation]

Perhaps. If I find myself with excess energy it may be useful.

[quadrangle]

[Because like death losses, MN poisoning couldn't possibly give them a break here. Of course.]

It might make you harder to catch, too.

[absentconstellation]

I have no interest in evading capture within this cage, only outside of it.

[quadrangle]

[Oh my god, Cat. He sighs, rolling his eyes.]

I mean that if you lured them in or something, you size could make it easier to slip past them that way? If they try to drag you out or whatever. The cell doors would be easier for them to block.

[He's pretty sure, anyway.He still has no fucking clue what they're dealing with here, but the principle seems sound.]

[absentconstellation]

We shall see. I have no doubt that someone will come for us. If they are unwise, I may be able to escape.

[ If they're very clever he might not. But most people are not very clever. ]

[quadrangle]

[Out of all of them, the Cat probably has the best chance of getting out of here. It's useless to say that though; no doubt Pounce already knows and would say something unbearably cat-like about stating the obvious. Instead—]

Good luck.

[That will have to do.]

[absentconstellation]

Thank you. I fear I shall need it.
