[parodeity]

you failed to understand my escalated threat
knock it the fuck off with the execution threat shit or im out for a week until further notice

[ flight over fight is more his style when it comes to arguments that are serious with other people

also, he's tired and angry and wants to find the hours that are just for him again almost because dave has never done well sorting his shit out with a bunch of people around. it's easier to think about shit on his own. it's one of the things that annoys karkat most about him when they actually legitimately argue. ]

your trackers will not actually impede me getting out from under your radar

[splinten]

[Dirk studies the communicator for a moment. Then, he makes his choice.]

I'll stop. [...He'll still do it, but he'll stop threatening it.]
Do you need to fuck off for a week? I'm willing to wait.

[parodeity]

dunno
ill let you know whenever i get back
dont let karkat have an aneurysm im about to ditch him

[ unless karkat can convince him in the next two seconds this is stupid since 1) it's storm season still technically 2) he's sick and 3) not everyone agrees that just cutting ties and ditching until you're able to control your facial expressions is a good idea re: dealing with problems.

but if karkat can't do that dave will quite literally go off the grid in a method only he can manage ]

[splinten]

Wait.
Let me pack you food and shit. We need to get you diving equipment and something for the weather.
It's a storm and you're sick. I respect needing space, but I can't accept you worsening your health.

[He has to bite back a just to get away from me. He's pretty sure it won't help.]

[parodeity]

im taking care of that this morning
ill only be gone a few hours from your perspective
id make it nothing but honestly it aint like you dont need space either

[splinten]

I need you, dumbass.

[And he's sending your sister to find you anyway.]

[parodeity]

[ well he's definitely absconding if he sees rose before she can talk him out of it!! ]

i need you too
this is actually not even a threat even though i was hoping it could double as one
we promised to be honest
so
this is a thing that happens sometimes
ill be back as soon as im calm
karkat made me swear to give him actual warnings and timeframes for it
ill pen you down into that list too

love you too

[ he technically didn't reply last time but the argument is ongoing so it still counts ]

[splinten]

Thank you. I'm sorry.

[parodeity]

[ there won't be a reply to that until exactly two hours later sent from the farm since of course that's where he went when he got back from Whenever and Wherever he was, because if nothing else dave is punctual as fuck when it comes to promises he makes re: time. ]

not your fault were both idiots generally
ill meet you for your dumb trap meeting tomorrow

[ he gives absolutely no indication of how long he was gone from his own perspective because of course he doesn't. ]

[splinten]

Hold on, fifteen minutes of Kaufman bullshit left.

[...Yeah Dirk decided to watch a movie he hated to distract himself? It made sense.]

[parodeity]

[ nothing they do makes sense? ]

take your time i have to talk to rose and karkat anyway

[splinten]

I'd apologize but you deserve this.

[Hating Kaufman has clearly calmed down some of his self-hate in favour of just being annoyed at Dave.]

[parodeity]

im used to it they both disagree on my coping techniques whenever i use like any of them
shockingly
its almost like they think its not emotionally mature to just not until you can

[ dave's swung from being annoyed at dirk to being lowkey self-deprecating with bad jokes so however long he was gone (don't ask, don't tell) helped. ]

anyway im sleeping out here tonight because i cant be fucked to move jsyk

[splinten]

Thank you for letting me know.
If we're letting each other know our night habits then you can find me in Jake's room.

[parodeity]

idk what were doing ever
you can find me whenever you feel like talking until then ill assume the opposite is true

[ since dirk has had less time than him for that. ]

or ill see you at the obvious trap meeting tomorrow
later

[splinten]

I'd like to talk to you right now.
I gave you the offer of meeting tomorrow because I wanted you to have space. It was Jake's suggestion that we both calm down before we tried discussing it again.

[He won't not call it a trap meeting because, er, it was. But now it's not? But the only way he can prove that is by not making it a trap.

Maybe Jake has a few good points about bad habits they've built up.]

[parodeity]

im at the farm and still shadeless idk when im getting those back
probably not soon

[splinten]

Wait. What happened to Ben Stiller's shades?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT???]

[parodeity]

left em with karkat and i assume hell hold them hostage while i casually refuse to tell him what two hours equals
ill steal them back later probably

[splinten]

Dave. Stop being an asshole to your boyfriend.

[parodeity]

ill tell him later in person

[splinten]

Is there a reason you're not going to him in person now?
Aside from being an asshole.

[parodeity]

im going to talk to him now in person
later

[splinten]

Rose is right. The game gave you time powers to punish the rest of us.
You should talk to him now, without looping. We can talk when you're done if you still want to.
What have you eaten or drank in the last hour relative to your personal continuity?

[parodeity]

i need to talk to you first
hes going to want to know how this goes anyway
and if we put this off were not going to talk about it for a while
and or i will unpsych myself up whichever comes first

water and apples i said im at the farm why would i not be eating apples
