Huh? Wait a minute. This isn’t the Veil?

[A huff before she notices the device and picks it up to inspect it. It doesn’t take her long to find the text option and she switches it to text to hide her irritation and current emotional state for the moment.]

Hey! What’s the 8ig deal

[Ever seen a redhead in your life? Because this kid has BRIGHT FUCKING RED HAIR. He's also eying the text on the device like it will eat him.

At least it's not caps.]

I haven't seen that kind of writing in a while. Can't read half of it either.

Do you know CG-- I mean, Karkat?

[OH MY GOD. BRIGHT RED. JUST LIKE KARKAT'S BLOOD THAT SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT.]

8luuuuuuuuh so he really was here?
Some leader he is, a8andoning his team to come so some stupid Earth city!
Or whatever with place is.

[Hell yes.]

... I'm sorry you missed him. He left the City a couple weeks ago without any warning. That's what happens.

This isn't Earth, either.

No way, I'm gr8tful I don't have to put up with him!
He's soooooooo aggrav8ting.
That's what some8ody said 8ut it looks like an Earth city to me.

... Oh. [He won't elaborate then.]

We don't know what world it is, actually. No one can go outside the barrier.

[He's working on that.]

text;

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

You seem like you knew him pretty well.
Not that I care or anything.
8arrier????????
How did Karkat leave if there's a 8arrier and we're trapped.
If it's true that we're really trapped.
I don't know if I 8elieeeeeeeeve that.

Uh... he was sort of living with me. For the few weeks he was here, at least.

It's not that easy. The barrier keeps things out... and it keeps people in, too. You end up here when the deities feel like it and you leave the same way.

As far as I know, anyway.

Deities????????
Geez, this place keeps getting lamer 8y the minute!
You don't have a FAQ or something to this place, do you?

[chosenfake]

I don't know how much power they have, but they have an office you can contact them through.

[Slow blink.]

F-A-Q? What's that mean?

video;

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

No way!!!!!!!!
Why would I want to talk to a 8unch of wind8ags with god complexes?
Geeeeeeeez, humans don't know anything.
You know. A guide or something????????

[chosenfake]

[... He's starting to see an ego pattern. He goes from polite and apologetic to somewhat linefaced.]

Someone sent me one when I got here. Hold on.

[After some clicks and frustrated beeps, he manages to send over a guide.]

Got it?

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

[FILE RECEIVED: CITY GUIDE]

[Give her a moment to browse through some of it. Something stands out to her though above all else.]

W8. So dead people can come here?
That's a thing that's possi8le and can happen???????
Ugh w8 that was only seven punctu8tion marks.
?
There.

[chosenfake]

[A rather telling pause.]

Yeah. They can.

[... she's weird.]

video;

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

[Ughhh now she feels bad about Tavros again. All the talking with the citizens of this place had gotten her mind off it, but now that's all she can think about. Shit shit shit.

Gotta get distracted again.]

Oh well, I guess that cool. It's okay.
Oh, I guess I forgot the human introductions.
You have a name right? What is it????????
I 8et it's something lame!

video;

[chosenfake]

[She's so hard to read. He's not even gonna try.]

Hey, just because I'm human-- [That seems weird to say.] -- doesn't mean I have a lame name.

I'm Luke.

video;

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

I don't know!
That's pretty lame if you ask me!
It's not an awesome name like Vriska.
