SURPRISE, ITS YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSHOLE WITH A SHINY PIECE OF INFORM8TION.
STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME.
THAT MEANS YOU.
YES YOU.
ALL OF YOU.

I AM TIRED OF DYING.
SO TIRED I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO SIT HERE AND COME UP WITH A SUPER CONVOLUTED METAPHOR TO LET YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING TIRED I AM OF IT.
BUT SINCE I'M FORCED TO ENDURE IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, I'M GONNA DO YOU ALL A BIG FUCKING FAVOR.
NO NEED TO THANK ME OR ANYTHING.
YOU CAN THANK ME BY FUCKING OFF TO THE ENCHANTED LAND THAT EXISTS IN CLOTHING STORAGE.
AND LEAVING ME ALONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THAT HUGE BREECHBEAST THAT TORE THIS PLACE DOWN OR WHATEVER.
BUT I USUALLY GET AN HOUR OF THIS PARALYSIS SHIT WHENEVER SOMEONE GETS IT IN THEIR HEADS TO OFF ME.
WELL I GOT THE HOUR OF LAYING ON MY ASS DOING NOTHING.
BUT I WOKE UP A LITTLE BEFORE THAT?
DON'T ASK ME HOW, BECAUSE I DON'T FUCKING KNOW.
SINCE I WAS DEAD AND EVERYTHING.
I DON'T REMEMBER A LOT, IT WASN'T FOR LONG, AND IT PROBABLY ISN'T EVEN RELEVANT, BUT I KNOW A FEW OF YOU LOSERS GET YOUR JOLLIES OUT OF TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF SHIT THAT HAPPENS AROUND HERE.
SO THERE YOU GO.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
ALLOW ME TO REMIND YOU OF THE "FUCKING OFF" CLAUSE THAT COMES WITH THIS INFORM8TION.

YOU GET USED TO IT.

[fractus_animus]

... How many times have you died, exactly?

I'm not asking to be rude, there may actually be a breakdown in their machines or something, and if that's the case, we... might want to try not to die anymore. You should maybe be more careful. We don't know what that whale broke, either.

Are you going to be okay?

[ Yeah you made him murder people and he just asked if you're okay ]

[text]

[caliginous]

I HAD TO GO BACK AND COUNT.
BUT WE'RE UP TO A GRAND TOTAL OF SEVEN.
I DIED BEFORE THAT THING ATTACKED THE TOWER.







DID YOU MEAN TO SEND THAT MESSAGE TO SOMEONE ELSE?

[fucking awkward. he's also kind of terrified, because well. chidori kind of burned him alive. slowly. and he knows what's in your head, dude.]

[text] [filtered] I think he might be insane.

[fractus_animus]

I don't really make accidents like that.

But something's off. I don't really know what, it could've been a mistake on their part. ... I'd be careful if I was you, actually? It's not a threat, just... I don't know. If there's actually a limit to their technology, it would probably be prudent to be careful.

For all of us.





... It was you, right? Chidori mentioned something to me, but I don't remember anything. That's all I really want to know.

[text] [filtered] join the club

[caliginous]

I DOUBT IT'LL EFFECT EVERYONE.
PROBABLY JUST ME.
IN WHICH CASE, I REALLY CAN'T FIND MYSELF TO GIVE A FUCK AT THIS POINT.










YEAH IT WAS ME.
DO ME A FAVOR AND KEEP HER THE EVERLIVING FUCK AWAY FROM ME.

[text] [filtered] does he get a special shirt

[fractus_animus]

I know the feeling, but there are worse things they could probably do than kill you a different way.



And... had I known, I would've stopped her. No, not for any particular reason, but cycles of revenge don't really solve much. ... Sorry about that. She's a little... well, I think you've probably figured out none of us are quite 'right' humans at this point. Honestly, this isn't going to solve anything... but...

Thanks for being honest with me. That's all I wanted to know. I'll... talk to her.

[text] [filtered] no karkat is too cheap for that

[caliginous]

I DON'T THINK SO.
BUT WHATEVER.

SHE BURNED ME ALIVE.
SLOWLY.
I DON'T REALLY GIVE A FUCK WHAT HER DEAL IS.
JUST KEEP HER THE HELL AWAY FROM ME.

W8 A MINUTE.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN APOLOGIZING FOR????????
DID SHE ACTUALLY TELL YOU WHAT WENT DOWN?

[text] [filtered]

[fractus_animus]

Someone else did, actually.

I figured out some other things on my own when she mentioned some things to me, but I wasn't entirely sure. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy. I just wanted confirmation. I'm still sorry she fried you extra crispy, though. Shit happens, I guess.

You probably don't care, but I still think you shouldn't press your luck with the systems here.

-(Be carefu1)(I guess)

[caliginous]

THE DEATH?
NO, JUST YOUR TYPICAL BURNING AT THE STAKE.

NO, EQUIUS, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BREECHBEAST.
I DIED AND CAME BACK BEFORE THE BREECHBEAST WAS EVEN A THING.
I GOT AN HOUR OF SLEEP PARALYSIS.
AFTER I WOKE UP OR WHATEVER HAPPENED IN BETWEEN.

[geometry]

-(Oh)(Im sorry)
-(I mus+ have misunders+ood)
-(So wha+ youre saying is)
-(You were dead)
-(And conscious1y awake)
-(A+ +he same +ime)

[What. The. Fuck.]

[It's entirely possible that Karkat is messing with everyone, but...]

[caliginous]

VERY FUCKING GOOD.
I OWE YOU A HIGH FIVE.
REMIND ME L8R.

[caliginous]

COLD.
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, METAL.
I WOKE UP AND I WAS FREEZING MY BULGE OFF.
DIDN'T LAST MORE THAN A MINUTE.
BLACKED OUT AFTERWARD.

[thornythaumaturge]

wouldn't staying away from people make it easier to die though?
they say there's safety in numbers for a reason...

[caliginous]

AT THIS POINT, I'M WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK.

[thornythaumaturge]

well not everyone can be that bad, can they?
i mean willing to die if it means being left alone seems kind of harsh.
