[ he actually pauses for a sec to watch, because what the fuck, why does everyone else get cool abilities. he snaps out of it though to get back to work. ]
You haven't been telling people we are though? Every time they come up in conversation I just change it because like, how the fuck are you going to explain that? "Yeah, my universe is the one that came up with Fruity Pebbles from hell."
[ he's pretty sure there are still some people who refuse to eat certain fruits? ]
You say that now but just wait. I am sure something even more bone numbingly stupid will show up next month that somehow connects to us. We'll have to lay low for the rest of our lives, knowing that every time someone utters a "what the fuck," we will be to blame.
[ he. he really does not have a lot of confidence in their luck, basically. ]
Are any of them even remotely useful? In theory it's like, holy fuck! This is like those cool video game inventories! Guess who is never going to need to use a fucking pocket ever again? This bitch! And instead you have to solve the Rosetta Stone to put away a pack of gum.
[ he takes down one of the smuppets and makes a face at it. ]
I would ask why is something that, on paper, should make our lives easier, designed so complicatedly shittily, but considering everything... that is a stupid ass question.
[ the safe thing isn't too bad as long as karkat isn't in a gigantic hurry to get whatever he stashed away out. during his little ocean adventure in august, however, he realized just how terrible it can be. ]
I guess it could be worse. I haven't thought of something yet, but I'm sure it could be.
[ that gives him a pause, since honestly all he'd do is probably make horrorterrors pop out of the sky or something, and
yeah. neither of them deserve to deal with tentacles on this fine day. ]
Hey do you think we could probably try to warp it but in a beneficial way? Maybe if we think reeeeeally hard about like, I don't know, gerbils or something that'll be the worst we have to deal with.
but okay, he'll give this a try, and attempt to imagine the imps as... fucking gerbils. they can probably think of something better than gerbils but for now. it's gerbils. ]
You know if this turns out to be a "the power of children's imaginations is stronger than any evil" cliche I will laugh.
It's the plotline of our lives, basically, and always has been? So I think maybe less. The one thing we have over CW assholes is our lives are better lit.
[ there is no way in hell that karkat is not into the recolle equivalent of the vampire diaries. but before he can comment on that, the scenery changes. ]
Oh come on! I swear I wasn't thinking of fucking creepy ass hallways.

[ they are not strider fast, it's cool.
dave is, and he flashsteps away from karkat's side to slice through a smuppet-imp, but. ]

[ he's not sure karkat is good at hacking.
also, he takes down another two imps. ]
no subject
I'm sure if I use it enough times then it'll just get easier eventually.
[ it definitely won't ]
no subject
[ suddenly, his rap modus seems even less dumb in comparison, finicky though it can be... ]

Shouldn't be that hard?

You're missing the point, Strider. If they invested in buying better lighting then they'll have to also actually learn how to become good at CGI.
no subject
[ but is karkat thinking of gerbils still or cw mood lighting ]
no subject
[ it is 100% the cw mood lighting now
so, you know, they're probably gonna have to deal with that now. ]
no subject
[ cool so lohac is way too well lit for this so TIME TO GO TO A DARK-ASS LOCATION. a hallway somewhere, and at least the puppets are gone? ]
- The fuck.

Oh come on! I swear I wasn't thinking of fucking creepy ass hallways.

[ he's trying to remember if this hallway is familiar or not, god. ]
