[crusthatecean]

[He listens to the phone call with growing frustration; he thought they'd dealt with this, but Gamzee is still preoccupied with it.

When Gamzee hangs up, he'll find Karkat leaning against the wall nearby waiting for him.]

(unsure)

[miraculls]

[He smiles cheerfully at Karkat, last night's conversation completely forgotten.]

Sup, best friend?

[crusthatecean]

I think we need to talk, don't we?

[miraculls]

Uhhhh...sure, you know I'm always up for chatting with my best motherfuckin' bro. What about?

[crusthatecean]

I thought we agreed we weren't going to get hung up on the contents of anyone's delusions.

[miraculls]

...we did? Fuck, I ain't got no recollection of this, soooorry.

Anyway, I'm not hung up on any shit, I just wanna make sure it ain't an issue I gotta actually be worrying about.

[crusthatecean]

Of course you don't. You ate a week's worth of pies last night, were sick all over the place, and also we talked about this.

I know I said some stupid shit, but I was just out of my pan. I also was seeing red lines everywhere.

[miraculls]

...huh, that done explains why I don't got any left in my modus. What'd I all pull that shit for?

Yeah, I know it was just the town fucking with your pan. [He shrugs.] But Terezi was saying the same things, so I figured it's better to make sure I didn't actually do nothing nasty.

[crusthatecean]

Oh.

[There's a certain tone to that word; guilt and concern and he isn't quite able to meet Gamzee's eyes right now.]

You're fine, okay? Just some delusions, you don't need to worry about this.

[miraculls]

[He manages to catch that something's troubling Karkat, but having reached the limits of his perceptiveness, has no idea what it could be. Maybe he's worried over Terezi?]

Okay, I won't. You okay? Terezi's fine, it didn't get too bad between us.

[crusthatecean]

You told me something last night.

You told me you've been worrying about what happened with Jade and Terezi.

[miraculls]

Uhhhhh...I did? [He screws up his face and tries to think really, really hard, before giving up.] Sorry, bro, I really cannot remember a motherfuckin' thing that you're all talking about.

[crusthatecean]

You idiot. I'm not asking if you remember telling me. I'm asking if you're worried about that.

[miraculls]

...it ain't a thing I really like to think about, y'know? [He runs a hand through his hair.] Do you -- do you think I should be worried?

[crusthatecean]

No.

That's what I said to you last night. You need to not worry about that and leave it to me to make sure nothing like that happens.

[miraculls]

[Wow, he's just getting more and more worried in this conversation here....]

So...you think something like that might happen again?
