[ You might notice more and more people getting oddly touchy with each other, along with their strange red welts and cuts on their wrists, fingers, necks, arms... they might scratch them occasionally. Except when in the presence of a special person, of course.

Today, however, Marcy is... knitting? So many red tentacle-warmers. Aww. ]

[ knitting with marcy because tentacle monsters and knitting are her true calling ]

(( will be slow!! )

[You've been slipping lately. It's like time has become an ocean pulling you down and only letting you surface every now and then, and you're never quite sure what will happen or where you will be when that happens. Which is probably why when you see your ectosister again, your first reaction is to stop and stare for a minute, like the most uncool tool ever, until you FINALLY muster up enough BOYPLUCK to approach her- stony face, no emotion in the voice. Time to find out how long she's been here...]

thought i smelled a familiar set of badtouchy appendages

[needlekinds]

[ she looks up at him, and it takes her a moment before she figures out what she's seeing -- dave, in the flesh, for the first time. she sets her needles down and responds almost equally devoid of emotion (save for that familiar bite of sarcasm) despite the fact that she is happy to see him in a state that is, to her knowledge, alive and well. ]

You 'smelled' them?

[ jeez dave you're sounding a lot like GC! ]

If that is how you're getting around these days, then no wonder it's taken us this long to meet.

[bethecoolkid]

[... It's been a while, then. But this could still be Rose doing her Rose-thing, so you can't be sure if she remembers all that she's been through here. YOU MUST GO DEPPER...]

just trying to do my part in bridging troll and human cultures
helping us all build the best rainbow rumpus peace and understanding party i can
its kinda uncanny how much cultural sensitivity im filled with right now
all these lessons man
how do i even hold them

[needlekinds]

I would never doubt the sincerity of your cultural sensitivity, Dave.
I'll be looking forward to the records and data concerning your painstaking research on the social and economical differences between us and how our respective species have learned to cope with the harsh environment surrounding Midwestern agriculture and subsistence farming.
That's what you meant, right?

[ this is how she expresses that she's happy to see you, ok. ]

[bethecoolkid]

more or less
keep them all in a big ass notebook where i keep all my ill jams
page after page of rudebrazen attitude and hardhitting analysis
any aspiring young psychiatrist wet dream of undiscovered complexes and mental fuck-ups
page up
and page down
of the good stuff
try and keep your panties from combusting though its a long ass way back to the underwear tree

[needlekinds]

Normally, I would make a snide remark here concerning the existence of underwear trees and how you would be the first person I would seek out if I ever needed to find one, but given everything I've seen here so far, the existence of such flora seems unfortunately plausible.

[bethecoolkid]

[Welp, that answers that. She remembers nothing and you're... not quite sure how to feel about that.]

of course it is
would i ever be slinging untrue information around her flightiness general direction
thats just ungentlemanly and i am
as weve established
a culturally sensitive as all fuck high class gentleman

[needlekinds]

Of course you are, Dave.
Though perhaps while you're slinging around wicked facts, you could enlighten me on another.
Like how long you've been stuck here.

[bethecoolkid]

...
a year in a few days

[needlekinds]

[ ... ]

Sounds like Kanaya was right, then.

[bethecoolkid]

whatd she say?

[needlekinds]

Just that several of you have been here for upwards of six months.

[bethecoolkid]

yeah
time makes these insane pretzel turns in here
drives you nucking futs if you think about it too much
best way i can tell it is that it works kinda like a youtube video
youre sitting there doing your thing in in your own world
then whatever badtouchhappy horrorterror runs this place hits the pause button after a particularly badass moment and opens up a new tab with fanfiction.net
thats the metaphor for camp btw
and throw you assfirst into their latest fucked up cross-over fic
in this story magic mistletoe makes dave and karkat hateslobber in each others mouths while optimus prime watches
better give me 50 good reviews or i cancel the fic bipches
and then youre stuck in there until camp gets bored and plays the rest of the video
keeping you in rudebrazen suspense of when the fuck youre gonna go back and do something marginally more useful than jam with mickey mouse

[needlekinds]

I would give that story a six point five out of ten.
The bizarre cross-species makeouts garnered at least half of those points for pushing the creative envelope and exceeding my expectations in the department of fictional romance.
Two points for the setting managing to baffle even my own wits despite what we have already seen.
One point for the inclusion of a massive voyeuristic robot.
The half point is for the classless yet edgy demand for bolstering asspats to continue.
Congratulations on scoring with Karkat, I suppose.
And I can't pretend that the pause button vacation of sorts isn't a welcome one.
Most of the time.

[bethecoolkid]

dont congratulate me yet karkat sucks at kissing
anyway thats not all
even if were usually paused sometimes camps acts like we still got one rudebrazenly erect digit in our original timestream
probably the pinky in your case
so what happens back home sometimes trickle its way over to you and you wake up one day with like two years worth of memories
like you were this outrageously adorable dutch kid holding back a damn with your finger and then when it finally breaks who you used to be gets washed away and then youre grimdark as fuck with an eyepatch and a onearmed man you gotta get your revenge on with
