ON-Σ ( ♓ ) text -> video

[prune]

[Teal text appears on the screen, but it is not accompanied by capital letters or numbers.]

I hλve λ problem!
Ψhoever is in chλrge of this tower, I'd lichen it if you could lend λn eλr.
It is λ big problem. I just don't know ΨHλT I'm going to do with this bλd little seed.
You see, this isn't λt λll where I'm supposed to be.
This L-ΣTT-ΣR is λ LI-----Σ! I think it's wreλthsonλble thλt I'm λ little bit UPS---ΣT!

How do I know it is a lie?
Because this isn't what I agreed to.
No, no, not at all.
I was working with plenty of time to spare.
You didn't save me!
Nothing could have saved us.
Except...
Well, you must already know if you've already gone and... interrupted it.

And to be honest, that's making me pretty angry.
Really angry.

I knew exactly what I was doing, and you'd dare to

[The text suddenly cuts off as if the writer has tried to gain a grip on their anger. When it returns, the tone is decidedly more cheerful.]

I hλve no interest in stλying!
So if λnyone could point their fork towλrds the exit, I'd be releλfed. :)

[It then switches to video. A young female troll is shown on the screen. Nothing out of the ordinary for those familiar with her kind.

Except, maybe, for the fact that she looks like she's splattered with a rainbow of paint. Huh. There is a strangely dreamy look on the girl's face, and she gazes at the camera in an unfocused manner, a smear of dark red on her cheek.]

I am Feferi, by the way. I almost forgot my shrubbin' manners!

[I have a problem!
Whoever is in charge of this tower, I'd lichen it if you could lend an ear.
It is a big problem. I just don't know WHAT I'm going to do with this bad little seed.
You see, this isn't at all where I'm supposed to be.
This LETTER is a LIE! I think it's wreathsonable that I'm a little bit UPSET!

How do I know it is a lie?
Because this isn't what I agreed to.
No, no, not at all.
I was working with plenty of time to spare.
You didn't save me!
Nothing could have saved us.
Except...
Well, you must already know if you've already gone and... interrupted it.

And to be honest, that's making me pretty angry.
Really angry.

I knew exactly what I was doing, and you'd dare to

I have no interest in staying!
So if anyone could point their fork towards the exit, I'd be releafed. :)

note: please let me know if you would like Feferi to drop her quirk when threading with your character.]

[caliginous]

What if I told you that you couldn't kill us? Because every time you try, the tower is going to fucking laugh at you and shit in your hair and bring us all back here again.

[That tone of voice is really sucking the wind out of his sails. He's had such a rough few weeks, he just doesn't have the energy for this. This was supposed to be done with months ago.]

[prune]

I am going to save all of us. It doesn't matter how it's done, Karkat, as long as it gets done.

[Feferi seems so utterly accepting of this, so at-peace with this truth; she truly believes it with ever fiber of her being, that she will do whatever is necessary to 'save' them all.]

Nobody believed me, but the Gods are good. Perhaps we have done something to dishonor their pact, but I'll find a way to appease them.

[caliginous]

Oh my god, are you even listening? Its all gone! The letter isn't lying to you!

[He wants to say something that would convince her, but he's not quite ready to admit his death just yet.]

[prune]

Impossible.

[Feferi delivers this line flatly. after all, she is intimately connected with the things that lurk in the area beyond all universes. they are greater and wiser and older and more terrifying than any stupid tower, and what they say is utter truth in its purest form.

with her mind so completely enticed by their influence, it's really not that surprising that she doesn't believe Karkat's claim, or the letter, at all.]

[caliginous]

I've been here for months, so I can pretty much promise you that it isn't impossible.

[Its like talking to a wall -- he's not even entirely sure why he's still trying. Probably because he's tired of dying.

And he really doesn't want her going after Kanaya.]

[prune]

[it's not like that wasn't what she was just about to go and do or anything.

oh, wait.]

Months? You're telling me that we're experiencing some kind of time paradox?

[caliginous]

Pretty much. Ask--

[Oh telling her to ask Eridan because he's here too is probably a really bad idea.]

--anyone. Ask anyone. Nothing really lines up.

[prune]

That makes it a little worse. But...

[Feferi gently brushes her long hair over one shoulder, smearing the streaks; they have begun to dry now.]

Don't worry about a thing.

I don't want you to be angry, Karkat. I know you must be very angry with me. Kanaya was, too, when I explained it to her. She turned into a cowardly little thing, unable to accept the truth. I was honestly disappointed in her. I think everyone's afraid of dying, but she was just downright selfish about it.

But if we are going to be here, then we have plenty of time for you all to come and accept our fates.

[caliginous]

[oh. suddenly he's sick and furious again.]

Don't you dare fucking touch her.

[prune]

It was her turn.

[caliginous]

Don't do this, Peixes. You're the only one that's gonna get hurt.

[prune]

Excuse me? Did you just threaten me, Karkat?

[caliginous]

[URK]

And what the fuck are you gonna do about it?

[prune]

I think it's more about what couldn't I do about it!

I wanted things to be easy on all of us. I value each and every one of you! You're all the best friends I could have asked for.

But no. You all refuse to listen.

Do you not trust me? That hurts, Karkat! It makes me a bit angry.

[caliginous]

I don't give a taintchafing fuck if it makes you angry! You killed me!

[--oh. He said it. The gray in his skin immediately pales, but he tries to pass it off as anger.]

[prune]

[and at that, Feferi...

laughs.]

That's right. I saved you.

[caliginous]

Fuck off, you didn't save shit.

[Subject change, subject change...he's too nervous for a subject change....]

And don't forget what I said before.

[prune]

Hmm?

[caliginous]

Stay away from Kanaya and everyone else. Take it from me. No god is gonna help you here.
