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. ]

[parodeity]

I think most of the mechanics that are dumb as fuck are restricted to us. And sylladexes are pretty ok if your modus isn't dumb as shit?

[alienates]

Mine just throws out safes and I have to hack them to open them.

[ it's said in the most pained tone as possible. he has, without a doubt, had a safe fall on him before. ]

[parodeity]

- isn't it just easier not to use it in that case???

[ he's not sure karkat is good at hacking.

also, he takes down another two imps. ]

[alienates]

[ ......... dave raises a very good point. ]

I'm sure if I use it enough times then it'll just get easier eventually.

[ it definitely won't ]

[parodeity]

How do you even haul the safes around? Doesn't that just make a mobius loop of bigger and bigger safes?

[ suddenly, his rap modus seems even less dumb in comparison, finicky though it can be... ]

[alienates]

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. ]

[parodeity]

Mine is as long as I do auto-collision detection? Hash map has quirks, but it ain't a huge deal once you get used to it mostly.

[ SOMETIMES YOU ACCIDENTALLY DUMP STUFF OUT but mostly it's not as bad as. troll moduses. another slice. ]

[alienates]

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.

[parodeity]

Please try not to think of anything worse, what the fuck, you might warp the dream -

[ AND THAT'S THE LAST THING THEY NEED ]

[alienates]

[ 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.

[parodeity]

Do you want to fight gerbils - but, sure, why the fuck not. It's like a d - [ dream bubble ] - ream, we just have to think...less stupid thoughts.

Shouldn't be that hard?

[alienates]

[ narrator voice: it was that hard.

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.

[parodeity]

Let's be real, if it's anything it's "the power of teenaged asshole imaginations is fuckin' destructive, especially to said assholes".

[alienates]

That sounds like the plotline to a bad CW TV show and I'm not sure if that's funny or not.

[ it's funny, but also not because it's their lives. ]

[parodeity]

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.

[alienates]

[ okay that actually makes him snort in amusement. ]

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.

[parodeity]

Someone has to hold 'em to some kind of standards or they'll never learn.

[ but is karkat thinking of gerbils still or cw mood lighting ]

[alienates]

Wow, Strider, are you telling me that you aren't into ten seasons of vampire love triangles?

[ it is 100% the cw mood lighting now

so, you know, they're probably gonna have to deal with that now. ]

[parodeity]

Please tell me you're not.

[ 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.

[alienates]

[ 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.

[parodeity]

Were you thinkin' of dark lighting though???

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

[alienates]

... fuck. I got too into the CW jokes.

[ he starts walking down it, slowly, just in case they do suddenly get mugged by more smuppets or like. gerbils. ]

Hilariously this place is too fucking dark to see if it's familiar or not.

[parodeity]

I can't tell. I spent a lot of time in -

[ what if there is the distant honk of a clown horn?? ]

[alienates]

[ KILL BILL SIRENS

karkat immediately freezes, before quickly turning around and walking back to where dave is. ]

Hey. Strider. I have a quick question for you, and it's what else do you know about the troll we were just previously making fun of for being a clown?

[ karkat may sound more than a little nervous. ]
