Ok For Any That May Be Confused
This Is The Alternate Kanaya Maryam That Some Of You May Have Encountered
Just
To Clear Up Any Uncertainty

I Am Posting This Message With The Intent To Contact The Cerulean Karkat
So Karkat If You Are Watching The Network It Would Be Nice If You Could Be Drawn To The Unmistakable Scent Of My Failures So That I May Talk To You


[Filtered to Terezi Pyrope]

And Terezi If You Could Perhaps Find Yourself Drawn To The Much More Literal Scent Of My New Font Color That Would Also Be Very Convenient For Me
I Need To Speak To You About Something As Well
That I Believe Pertains To Concerns You Likely Have About A Certain Someone

I Plan To Talk To Karkat About Something That Is Extremely Relevant To You
And I Would Like You To Hear It
But I Do Not Think He Would Ever Willingly Approach The Subject With You
So I Think
I Would Like You To Conveniently Find Yourself In The Same Area As The Both Of Us When I Coordinate A Meeting With Him
Would That Be Alright With You

Well
To Be Honest I Would Really Prefer Not To Do This
But That Preference Defers To The Heavier Preference Of Not Watching Karkat Be A Cagey Nooksmear Anymore
So I Am Temporarily Taking A Page From His Book

I Am Inviting Him To Watch Romcoms On The Fourteenth Floor
So If You Could Perhaps Hide Yourself There Within Hearing Distance Of Where The Conversation Takes Place It Would Be Helpful

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????????
TAKE THIS FUCKING POST DOWN THIS FUCKING INSTANT.
HOLY TAPDANCING TERRORS BELOW.
YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY BE THIS MENTALLY DAMAGED.
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU'VE HIT YOUR PAN THAT FUCKING HARD ON THE PAVEMENT.

[gloomyapoplectic]

No I Do Not Think I Will Take The Post Down
Since This News Is Outdated To Those Who Have Already Seen My Blood
Which Is A Great Number Of People By This Point After That Monster Invasion Fiasco
Besides I Wanted To Speak To You
And Was Unsure As To If You Would Attempt To Avoid Me After Our Last Conversation
This Was A Prevention Measure For Aforementioned Potential Avoidance

Would You Like To Watch A Romcom With Me
I Think Perhaps Engaging In A Pastime That You Enjoy Will Improve Your Mood

[caliginous]

OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO FUCKING SHORT SIGHTED.
NEWSFLASH, CUPCAKE, HALF OF THE TOWER DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT JUST HOW MUCH DANGER YOU'RE IN SIMPLY BY EXISTING.
NOBODY IS GOING TO FUCKING BLAB ABOUT IT, EXCEPT PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE CULLED YOU ALREADY.
NOW EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS.
BUT WHATEVER.
IF YOU WANT TO BE JUDGED EVERY TIME YOU TURN YOUR GOD DAMN HEAD ON TOP OF THROWING YOURSELF AT THE FEET OF THE ADULTS, THEN FUCKING FINE.
I'M DONE TRYING.





YOU WANT TO
WHAT?

[gloomyapoplectic]

I Am Willing To Deal With The Consequences
But Thank You For Your Poorly Worded Concern

I Would Like To Watch Romcoms With You
Unless Your Preferences Have Changed Since We Came To The Tower It Is To My Recollection That That Is A Thing You Like To Do
Isnt It
?

[Locked]

[caliginous]

WHATEVER.
YEAH, I GUESS.
WHEN?

[Floor 14 - Action]

[gloomyapoplectic]

[So Kanaya has pretty much no experience with romcoms. She never had time to watch them, and even when she did, she wasn't much fond of them. But this was vital. It would definitely make it easier to bring up what they needed to talk about.

So she's plopped on a couch in front of one of the creepy televisions with a selection of romcoms picked out, staring cluelessly at the pile of boxes and hoping Karkat would get there soon.]

[caliginous]

[Just as he said, Karkat arrived in short order, hands stuffed in his pockets and a rather straight-edged expression on his face. His eyes were immediately drawn to the collection of romcoms, which seemed to brighten his mood slightly.]

Did you pick something, or do I have to schoolfeed you on a good motion picture too?

[scalemate]

[Terezi, meanwhile, is hiding. Between the back of a couch and the far wall, which is the BEST HIDING PLACE EVER.

She is so ready for this.]

[gloomyapoplectic]

[Kanaya looks up at Karkat with a smile and a shrug.]

I have not picked anything. I am afraid this will have to be a temporary educationblock for the purpose of schoolfeeding me on the specifics of a decent romcom.

[caliginous]

[He picks through the titles with a scrutinizing eye until he plucks one from the pile.]

We can watch Not-Troll-Nia-Vardalos Tackle The Challenges Of Her Mid-Life Crisis While Trying To Disassociate Herself From Her Family Who Is Too Focused On Their Foreign Lifestyle To Realize That She Is In Love With Not-Troll-And-Not-Foreign-John-Corbett Before They Decide To Get Married And Get Forced Into A Foreign Style Wedding Where Everything Goes Wrong.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.
NOT TO BE AS NOSEY AS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, BUT,
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN HELP WITH?

[Locked]

[gloomyapoplectic]

Oh
Ah
Well
I Do Not Know That It Is Much To Be Proud Of But
Thank You
I Doubt That I Would Have Actually Done This With Any Amount Of Confidence If I Did Not Know That You Had Once Managed To Do The Same

If You Can Somehow Miraculously Curb The Cerulean Karkats Rage At My Decision
That Would Be Wonderful
And If You Could Similarly Curb The Rage Of Those Who May Be Displeased With My Alienation From The Hemospectrum
That Would Be Wonderful Too
But I Do Not Expect You To Fulfill Either Of These Very Daunting Requests
As I Am Fairly Certain They Are Inevitable
So
I Think Moral Support
Will Be More Than Sufficient For The Time Being
If You Dont Mind Of Course

[Locked]

[benigncancer]

YOU CAN ALWAYS BLAME ME FOR THOSE THINGS, AND REDIRECT THEIR RAGE ONTO MY HORNS.
I'M OKAY WITH THAT, KANAYA.
AS FOR MORAL SUPPORT, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE IT TO YOU.

[Locked]

[gloomyapoplectic]

Oh
That Is Not Necessary
I Can Accept Responsibility For My Decisions And It Would Be Unfair To Blame You For Such A Thing

I Think It Is Redundant At This Point But
Thank You Most Sincerely
Things Have Been Ok So Far But I Still Fear Potential Backlash I Suppose

[Locked]

[benigncancer]

IF IT'LL KEEP YOU FROM GETTING HURT, I DON'T MIND.
IT ISN'T AS THOUGH THEY DON'T ALREADY HATE ME FOR A WHOLE LOT OF FAR MORE LEGITIMATE REASONS THAN THE COLOUR OF OUR BLOOD.

I UNDERSTAND, YEAH.
WELL YOU KNOW MY DOOR'S ALWAYS OPEN IF YOU NEED TO CHAT.

[tortileghostwriter]

[...huh.]

i must say that i definitely expected more shouting
given roses descriptions of her encounters with you

[gloomyapoplectic]

[...??? Um?]

I Am Going To Forego Assumptions Altogether And Ask Right Off The Bat
Who Is This

[Clearly one of the humans, but she's not going to jump to conclusions on which one, even if she's pretty sure she knows.]

[tortileghostwriter]

why
none other than the great david lalonde, tortileghostwriter, the knight of light himself
at your service

[gloomyapoplectic]

Yes That Was The Conclusion I Was Finding Myself Reluctantly Arriving To
You Already Know Of Me I See
So An Introduction Is An Unnecessary Pleasantry At This Point

[tortileghostwriter]

somehow i think were both able to spare the time
youre certainly able to spare the words to tell me that its unnecessary when you could have done as much in fewer
