[Karkat is calling! He sounds a little shaky this time, and he speaks quickly, dropping the normal amount of too-long-didn't-listen ranting.]Okay, idiots, it's that fucking time again. My safe housing list for December is in the communication receptacle outside 1338 Benny Road, so come get an updated copy, or your first copy if you're new

[bullsit]

Oh, uh, oops, sorry?

[crusthatecean]

Who did you talk to?

[miraculls]

Uhhhh...shit, I think I done already broke that motherfuckin' rule one or two or three or four times.

[crusthatecean]

Fucking typical. Who have you talked to?

[miraculls]

I forgot, honk.

[crusthatecean]

Good.

Don't talk to them again.

If you are looking for a safe place to hide in emergencies I've regained my ship and it has a few feet of armor plating.

[crusthatecean]

That sounds useful. Where is your ship?

[hontobakabaka]

947 Beula Street. Its the space battle cruiser. You can't miss it. I just ask that any people hiding there respect that other people may want to hide there too when the town is.... Stupid.

[crusthatecean]

Sure, my note contains a long preamble about the importance of not being a selfish waste of space.

Can I get a name, then?

[phone, private to Karkat]

[dreambubbly]

Karkat, it's Feferi. I think I've got my filters right. What's going on?

[It's not that she isn't worried about the others, but Karkat's right. No sense worrying about them. But she is worried; she trusts the Dolorosa and the Disciple. She can't not.]

[crusthatecean]

Right.

So, uh, Sollux told me he told you some things about the future.

[dreambubbly]

Yeah. He did. About what happens when he moves the Veil.

[crusthatecean]

Right. Among other things, things not relating directly to him and that probably didn't need to be said to anyone.

Things that are a private matter, much like the private matter of exactly just how many of the folders on his husktop are filled with unnatural fetish porn.

I'm certain you possessed the utmost in good intentions, Karkat, but your new rule seems a bit...

...well, premature. I haven't felt anything untrustworthy in them at all.

[crusthatecean]

Oh, I'm sorry, Kanaya, I forgot that I am completely incapable of making character judgments or leadership in general. Everyone should just assume I don't have any good reason for this decision and do what they want.

[chastesaw]

That is not what I said, nor what I meant, and I am certain you are aware of that.

Perhaps you could elucidate on your aforementioned good reasons? If there's something I've overlooked then of course I'll listen, but it's difficult to merely accept "I don't trust them" as rationale for cutting all contact when... I do.

I think we can learn from them.

[crusthatecean]

Hey, what if instead of questioning me, for once everyone just listened to me instead of forcing me to explain my rationale? That would be crazy, it would almost be like I was some sort of leader or something.
