was the bacon worth it?

[motherserpent]

Of course the bacon wasn't worth it, what kind of stupid question is that?

[rubikscomplex]

the kind you ask when a moron got warned six ways to sunday what would happen

[motherserpent]

Well, you live and learn. Or I die and learn. You miss me? You sounded really broken up about the idea that I might die.

[rubikscomplex]

now, mistress
how could i NOT be broken up about you?
there were tears and everything
okay, a tear
okay, so it was sweat
close enough

[motherserpent]

So little faithfulness. So little mourning. You're pretty bad at this serpent in training thing, you know?

[ This means that they're just waiting on Gamora, then. Good. ]

Welcome back. Glad you made it.

You managing okay with your death price? Need any help?

[motherserpent]

Actually I might kind of be in trouble? I'm blind.

[Then how are you typing, Tess? She winces at her screen after she's sent it. Stupid. Should have come up with something better.]

[termineur]

[ Yeah, that doesn't exactly track. But maybe she'd left it on voice-to-text? He feels like it'd be the opposite of what he's going for lately if he left her to it just because he's suspicious. ]

That one's obnoxious. You want to switch to video? I can guide you from there. It sucks, but it's better than getting cabin fever while you're waiting for someone to reach you.

[motherserpent]

[Fuck]

Yeah, let me try. I'm going to just

[Oh no she totally got disconnected, whoops, complete accident.]

@Ecks | audio

[ecks]

What happened to Royce Melborn and Alfie Solomons?!

[It's still spoken in monotone, but it's very loud monotone.]

@godsend, audio

[termineur]

Yeah, I'd like to know this, too. Was anyone with them?

[ Damn, he should've been calling them more- it'd just been hard being in the bunker so often... But he knew after Karkat, it'd be especially hard on them. ]

[ecks]

I do not know. I was going to go back to the bunker and see Royce Melborn but I had not talked to him in several days and I thought he would not die because he did not have a reason to die and I do not know why he would die if there were other people with them in the bunker or why--

[termineur]

--I- Ecks, I get it.

[ It's a bit hard getting a word in edgewise here. ]

I'm sorry, Ecks. We'll try to find out what happened, at least. Maybe someone will respond to us here.

[ecks]

Maybe. Or maybe all of my friends will die and then I will not have friends because they will all be dead.

[termineur]

...yeah. That's a problem all of us have here. Even those of us who didn't have friends at all before we came here.

[ecks]

I did not have friends and I like having friends but I think I would not have made friends if I knew they would all die all of the time.

[himalayanyeti]

Hah! Serves Quill right. What happened to him, though? Did he get eaten? I hope got eaten. Fucker had it comin'.

[cahooted]

God, can't you people just leave one obituary in peace? Is that really too much to ask of you!

Nobody deserves these deaths! How about you shut up and take your sad childhood coping mechanisms elsewhere?

[himalayanyeti]

How's about you shut the fuck up? You're not gonna stop me or anyone else. I don't care what you think! Really, I don't! I'm half a mind to teach you a lesson myself, but I like you fine, and you haven't done anythin'...I don't know. Quill-bad. He's a jackass, and I meant what I said.

[cahooted]

'Quill-bad'? Are you kidding me right now? With the company you kept?

I'm not shutting up! Maybe I can't stop you but I will sure as hell speak up. Oh yeah, you're all so big, you're so above mere human emotions, wow, how impressive. It's so terrible to be decent, such a chore! Look at me, not caring about anyone else! What are you guys even trying to accomplish every time you do this, become the number one citizen of this hellhole? A nice pat on the back from the spiders maybe?

[himalayanyeti]

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I'm some kinda saint. I know I'm not. You, though--you've got that high-'n-mighty attitude that makes me want to beat your face in. You think anyone has the fuckin' moral high ground here, asshole? D'you think you're better than the rest of us 'cause you keep all your bad shit private-like? Fuck off.

[cahooted]

Wh-- No, I don't! No, I don't?

[His hands flail up and down in frustration.]

Nobody said anything about being a saint. There's a difference between a high-and-mighty attitude and having a problem with someone making fun over someone else's death.
