[network] @ASolomons; audio, morning of 265 [open]

The fuck is going on?

[He sounds exhausted, as per usual, and his voice is hoarse and raw - he's been doing a lot of non-stop talking these past few days, trying to keep Royce engaged.]

Right - the lot of you, sound off. What happened, and what needs to be done?

[Yeeeaahhh, he's not even close to buying this.]

I'm gonna meet up with you after I get back with Davesprite, all right? And we'll see what we can do.

You two focus on yourselves. It's not your job to take care of Royce.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Yeah, that's why we're meeting up with you after we meet up with each other. We're not stupid.

Didn't call you stupid, did I. He wouldn't want you to worry yourselves too much, that's all.

[He heaves an aggravated sigh.]

It's hard not to worry, you know? He was in pretty rough shape even before shit went down.

Try not to make yourselves too stressed. All I'm asking.

[... Okay, so maybe audio does add a lot more context to their conversations. He hesitates.]

We'll try, yeah. Just—you know. Take care of him.

Yeah, of course I will. Yeah. Wouldn't think of doing anything else.

Okay. Good.

[He'd like to sound confrontational, but mostly he sounds tired. It's been too much over too short a period of time; he doesn't know how to deal with it. Apart from that...]

How are you doing, anyway?

[He sighs, and there's a lot in that sigh - tiredness, mostly, but also tinges of frustration (but not frustration with Karkat). ]

Better.

[Wow, really. He sighs.]

Any chance of you elaborating?

Better than I was when half the town was stuck in a building and being tortured. Thought that was obvious.

Yeah, but—

[He breaks off and makes a frustrated sound. It's probably not his place anyway, but what the fuck.]

Ugh, whatever. Glad you're doing better then.
