[You most likely noticed that Sollux was acting chipper and really weird Tuesday. He was humming, doing chores, saying good morning to all who passed. He was obviously droned. Now, today you will probably notice a few things. 1) He has horns and a yellow-ish tone to his now grey skin. 2) His eyes are both completely black

[After he's done getting soppy with everyone in his hive, Karkat will go track down Sollux. He knows he'll be all right, but he'd like to see himself.

But he's pretty surprised to see Sollux blinded again. Unlike the others, he knows what that means, but it's also been clear Sollux was from earlier than that in the timeline.]

What happened?

[a1a1000]

[He perks up when he recognizes Karkat's voice.]

How far are you on the timeline?

[crusthatecean]

Haven't we been over this? Unless you went back.

[That's obviously what happened. He feels stupid for not immediately figuring it out.]

Okay, the last thing I remember you woke up and were being a cheerful blind asshole, fortunately free of your fang-grinding speaking style thanks to me, and then we went looking for the others and got split up.

[a1a1000]

Okay. After we got split up, you found Terezi and I was founded by Kanaya who took me to where you two were. We were only able to rendezvous for a minute before we were confronted by Gamzee who you stopped by doing something and now you two are moirails.

After a little while, John started the Scratch in his session and Rose and Dave set off the Tumor. I then used up all the power I had to move the Veil to where the Green Sun was and I'm pretty sure I went way over my limit and died.

[crusthatecean]

Oh, sure, let's show no consideration for the timeline, or even possibly my whiplash of feelings resulting from this information vomit that you--

Wait, what? You died?

[a1a1000]

You wanted to know what happened and so I told you.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did. I mean, it sure felt like I did. It felt a lot like the Vast Glub, everything was burning and I was bleeding from the mouth and eyes and my head felt like it was going to explode. I don't really remember anything after that.

[crusthatecean]

That...that doesn't mean you died, fuckpan. It just means you overexerted yourself. Don't go around announcing your death based on the suspect evidence of bodily functions. For all you know, that's just the disgusting way your psychic powers work now.

[Yeah this makes no sense, it is obviously deep denial, but Karkat looks pretty convinced by it.]

[a1a1000]

It doesn't mean I lived either.

[crusthatecean]

Yeah, sure, fine. I had a digestive sac ache one time. It went away after a while, but maybe I died from it and have been living in a ghostbubble dream ever since.

[a1a1000]

KK, a digestive sac ache isn't even close to what I went through.

[crusthatecean]

I'm not saying it is! I'm saying you always do this, you go so fucking overboard on your own drama.

I thought maybe your new irritating personality wouldn't come with that, but old habits die hard, I guess.

[a1a1000]

Okay, wow, sorry. I'll try to remember to skip out on details when I tell you shit so you don't think I'm just being dramatic next time!

[crusthatecean]

I'm not telling you to skip out details, I'm just saying normal people don't just go 'hey, I'm not sure whether or not I died, but I'm just going to say I did and nonchalantly drop it into every conversation.' Hey, Sollux, how's it going, did you catch the televisor program last night, by the way I'm dead, I know this because I vomited up some blood.

[a1a1000]

Yeah, well, normal people don't have conversations about Scratching games and driving meteors across the universe either. And the fact that I'm pretty sure I died is a detail so by not bringing it up, I would be skipping out on details.

[crusthatecean]

It's fucking creepy and pathetic to speculate on whether or not you died when you don't know that you did. There are way too many of us who actually fucking died for me to put up with this bullshit.

[a1a1000]

Well I'm sorry that I didn't get to stick around long enough to figure out if I did or not.
