[ The communicator's video feed switches on to reveal a teenage girl with grey skin and bright yellow eyes. While most of her dark hair seemed to be concealed under a red hood, a pair of ram-like horns is still visible. Moreover, a pair of red wings can be seen behind her, fluttering sporadically and releasing small sparkling trails. The girl

[Another troll!? Well, it seems his team was coming back...but what was she wearing and dream bubbles?]

What the fuck are you wearing and what the fuck is a dream bubble?

[arisenaradia]

[ Oh look, another familiar face! Thankfully Aradia is perpetually used to that ornery manner of speech. ]

I am wearing the standard attire for a Maid of Time. [ She pauses and smiles, the wings still fluttering behind her. ]

As for the Dream Bubbles, they are a meeting place between the living and the dreaming dead. They are built around the memories of those who inhabit them and as of late I have been exploring and connecting them to one another.

But how have you been? Also, what do you last remember from our session?

[beepbeepmeeow]

...I have no idea what you just said. I will take your world for it and log your information in the back of my think pan labeled under 'useful for possible fucking later.'

I've been...[He thinks about this for a moment.] good. Attending to my leader duties. As for what I remember I'm assuming you mean what time I've come from. For me Prospit just got destroyed and Kanya was performing her sick spontaneous amputations, when I fell asleep and got killed by the demon.... I woke up here.

[arisenaradia]

Well- I won't ask for much more than that. But I do ask that you don't forget about it; indeed, it will be useful information later on.

It seems that we are from different points in our respective timelines!
It was a while ago for me since all of that destruction was brought forth; not too long though and while I admit it was terrible, something good did come out of it.

I spoke to Tavros recently, before I got here. He seems to be doing well in the afterlife.

[beepbeepmeeow]

Something good came out of it? What did?

...Tavros recently informed me of that. Vriska killed him.

[If someone know Karkat well, they would be able to tell that he was a bit upset that Tavros had died in his timeline. However, if you didn't know him, it seemed almost unfeeling the way he mentioned the death, very monotone and matter of fact.]

[arisenaradia]

I'm alive, Karkat. And I don't intend to die.

[ Aradia would know these things. She had a lot of time to observe. But she could also be making assumptions. ]

Figures she would do such a thing. But last I saw him, we took a journey through some of our memories. I introduced him to the Knight of Time, too. I think he's in a better place now.

[beepbeepmeeow]

...I'm not worried. We aren't in danger here from what I have established. I've been gathering our surroundings at night when the humans are sleeping. This city is a piece of shit, rundown, craptacular, hell. That is what I have concluded. WE can't escape also, so I guess we have to make the fucking best of it.

[He crosses his arms at his chest and lets out an annoyed groan rolling his eyes. He relaxes a bit at that last comment however.]

Yes, she is a psychopathic bitch. She would do something like that. Good to hear that, he is...happy.

[arisenaradia]

Don't look at it that way! I haven't seen much of anything yet but it seems to me like there are plenty of locations to explore. Which I intend to do, in due time.

[ She laughs softly. How strange; it has been a long time since that happened, hasn't it? ]

We should meet up and decide on what to do, don't you think Karkat? After all you are the leader.
As for Vriska... Well. Let us not concern ourselves with the grimmer subjects just yet.

[beepbeepmeeow]

[Even Karkat gets a bit wide eyed at the sound of her laugh, but quickly his normal expression returns.]

Wow, you you are actually something to talk to now. Before you were just some blue blooded, robotic, play thing for that asshole to get off on.

Yes, I am the leader! Despite what someone has been saying. I am! We should meet up. I have my own hive or if you can find a place to go to in the city. I can try and find it. Shouldn't be too fucking hard.

[arisenaradia]

[ If Aradia notices that, she makes a point to overlook it. His first comment elicits a somewhat more displeased expression - saddened perhaps? - and she looks away for a brief moment, coughing. ]

I'd rather not remember that in such a standoffish way, Karkat. Believe it or not, I'm well-aware of what happened and how it happened.

[ In the end, she smiles again.]

I will find a hive, don't worry! But we should definitely arranje a meeting with our friends and allies to discuss our current predicament.

[beepbeepmeeow]

[He means no true hurtful offense by it Aradia, he is just being a Karkat.]

Well, at least you were a higher blood for awhile. Not like it fucking matters to me.

We do and I shall. For the others we should give them a chance to settle in and find a hive. I do not think Terezi has found a hive yet, which makes no fucking sense she had been here longer then I.

[arisenaradia]

[ Don't worry Karkat; she's not quite offended as much as... Well, she's slightly put off by it, but it's been a while since she has actually brought herself to care about your harsh words. In any case, no offense is taken and the momentary sad expression vanishes right away, replaced by that bright smile. ]

You know as well as I do that the haemospectrum is not that important, Karkat; not at this point and I hope our friends will realize that soon. As for hives, yes I think we should wait a while until everyone is settled in but... Oh! Perhaps Terezi hopes to find a tree hive, like the one in Alternia?

I hope she doesn't get in trouble, either way.

[beepbeepmeeow]

Equius will never realize that. He has his head shoved way to deep into his waste pipe. I do not think there are tree hives here. Not very many trees except near the outside of the city.

No if she got into trouble it would be bad. I would be sure to get her out of it, given I'm the leader.

[arisenaradia]

Well, I would like to think there is still hope for him and others, such as Eridan! Such changes in locations and lifestyles may bring about changes in their views, don't you agree?

[ Right. Good luck with that. ]

I see! Well in that case I should advise you to look out for her before you have to get her out of trouble. [ A small laugh. ] Make sure your team is in one piece.

[beepbeepmeeow]

I understand what you are saying, but as far as agreeing. No. Once and asshole, always and asshole.

...

I will be sure my team is in one piece.

[arisenaradia]

If you say so, Karkat... I bet one of us will change their mind soon!

And if you need anything, you know how to contact me.
