oHHHHHH, sNAP,! ::::) aHAHA, bUT YEAH, i AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT LARGELY, oF YOU BEING MORE COMPETENT, tHAN MOST PEOPLE IN GENERAL, vRISKA, Thanks, Tavros! }:) HEY, LOOK I KNOW I'M NOT CONSIDERED "IMPORTANT" ENOUGH TO BE "IN THE LOOP" ON CERTAIN KEY TACTICAL DECISIONS ANYMORE AND THAT I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON MOST OF THE TIME AND THEREFORE AM FORCED TO TAKE ANY BULLSHIT THAT HAPPENS WITH A GRAIN OF SNACK MINERAL BIG ENOUGH TO BLUDGEON A MAN TO DEATH BUT IF IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE VRISKA, MAYBE YOU COULD TAKE A MOMENT TO EXPLAIN WHY TAVROS IS NOW A SPRITE?! AND EQUIUS TOO, AND ALSO, WHY EQUIUS IS WEARING A NEW PAIR OF MORONIC LOOKING SUNGLASSES. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! Sorry if you're having trou8le keeping up with the times, Karkat. I didn't explain it 8ecause I thought the nature of the development was fairly self evident? I mean, no offense, 8ut I didn't hear anyone else voicing any confusion. What a8out you, Kanaya. Did you think it was fairly self evident? I Thought It Was Fairly Self Evident Yeah. See???????? You Apparently Took It Upon Yourself To Prototype The Three Year Old Cadavers Of Two Of Our Deceased Friends NO, I GOT THAT! I'M NOT A FUCKING IDIOT. I MEAN, WHERE DID YOU FIND THESE UNPROTOTYPED KERNELS? DIDN'T THESE PEOPLE ALREADY ENTER THEIR SESSION? Yes, they did MONTHS ago, from the current frame of reference. 8ut this is a VOID session, Karkat. I thought we talked a8out this? ?????? A void session 8y definition is one where the players enter the game with the kernels unprototyped. As such, it 8ecomes totally dysfunctional. It can't 8ear fruit, 8ecause there's no 8attlefield in Skaia, unless you go to the trou8le of putting one there of course. Which the Condesce has already done for us! Via "Grim8ark Jade", prior to our arrival. Quite consider8te of her, really. This is aside from the point though. The 8ottom line is, this session comes courtesy with four unprototyped kernels, waiting to 8e put to use. So, not 8eing one to let a sweet perk go to waste, I took initi8tive and put two of them to use myself. Really, this is some 8asic stuff, and I'm SURE we went over it all at one point during our trip. We did. Karkat, don't you remember when I walked everyone through this? I was making extensive notes in my journal. When I looked away for a moment, you and Dave wrested the tome away, and began scribbling phalluses in it while giggling like children. UM, MAYBE?! I GUESS THAT RINGS A DONG SHOUTER. (a what? dude lmao) (WHAT? SHUT UP.) LOOK, A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN THREE YEARS. WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH... STUFF. AM I REALLY EXPECTED TO REMEMBER EVERY TEDIOUS MORSEL OF EXPOSITION FROM OUR RESIDENT LIGHT-BORES? Rose, get a load of this ungr8teful philistine! He doesn't deserve our fucking acumen. 8etween your nerdish o8session over the knowledge granted 8y our aspect, and my unprecedented a8ility to weaponize said knowledge with ruthless gamesmanship, we are dou8le-handedly saving the asses of everyone on this team. I'm glad at least one person here appreciates this categorical certainty. (Hey I Appreciate That Categorical Certainty!) (Whom do you think I was referring to?) ;) WOW OK, WHAT THE FUCK EVER TO THAT VAINGLORIOUS LOAD OF CRAP. I'M STILL SPOUTING OFF HERE! I THINK That's fine, Karkat! Take all the time you need to collect yourself, and continue frothing at the mouth whenever you're ready. OK, I FIGURED OUT SOME STUFF I'M STILL EITHER PISSED OFF AND/OR CONFUSED ABOUT. YOU SAY THERE ARE FOUR KERNELS HERE... YOU KNOW, WE *DID* LOSE MORE THAN TWO FRIENDS ON THAT METEOR. WHICH REMINDS ME, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY... HI TAVROS AND EQUIUS, AGAIN??? NICE TO SEE YOU GUYS BACK WITH US, SORT OF. PARDON ME IF I CAN'T GET TOO SENTIMENTAL ABOUT THE REUNION, SINCE ALONG THE WAY HERE, WE RAN INTO ABOUT TEN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF YOUR STUPID GHOSTS. THAT KIND OF LETS A LITTLE AIR OUT OF THE POIGNANCY BALLOON, SORRY! hEY BUDDY, };) DON'T WINK AT ME Greetings old friend Not to worry, I have stored enough poignancy in my heaving, balloon-like pectorals for the both of us Though I should clarify that appro%imately half of my personally couldn't give the faintest fidgeting horse dump about you or your sentimental notions Also I am very busy here, so stop talking to me completely Hahahaha!!!!!!!! Oh man. Classic. haha...ha OK, THAT WAS WEIRD? (um... yeah) AND SPEAKING OF WEIRD, ONE THING THAT BUGS ME ABOUT THIS IS... I GUESS IT IMPLIES YOU'VE BEEN HORDING THE BODIES OF OUR DEAD FRIENDS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS?! THAT'S A BIT FUCKED UP! EVEN FOR YOU. AND NOT TO GET TOO MACABRE, BUT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE LIKE, ROTTED BY NOW OR SOMETHING. Yes, there was some moder8te decomposition. I did my 8est to preserve them for the journey, after quickly rounding up the 8odies while people had their 8acks turned. WELL SHIT THAT'S A HELL OF A MYSTERY, THAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT WAS A MYSTERY, BUT FOUND IT TOO DISTURBING TO CONTEMPLATE SOLVING BUT DAMN IF IT DIDN'T JUST GET SOLVED, SO THAT'S FUCKED UP. If you would s…
