[ he starts to list it off, using his fingers as he says each thing. ]
Families are mostly for support, psychological and emotional. Not all parents bake. Apparently chosen family can be more important than your blood family. If Rose and Kanaya ever produce a nightmare wiggler, you'd be the uncle. Something about school?
[ ok so dave is apparently not going to explain about that thing then. ugh. ]
I went to that one island where Naoko is with Dirk yesterday? And I went into the dreamscape with that evil human child who I think probably casts curses on me while I sleep.
Yeah I figured he was going to? I wasn't even going to bother telling you about it since I half expected him to be texting you throughout my entire conversation with her or something equally as embarrassing.
[ he does not choose to elaborate though and will instead finally.... take a bite of his sandwich that he completely forgot was a thing. ]
Oh. I fixed the life pods in the Monolith weeks ago.
[ specifically when dave and dirk were fighting, but karkat does not say that. ]
And somehow the annoying brat found out about it and they asked me to take them there? It turns out you can still enter the dreamscape through them, like when I first arrived here.
My only experience with the place was weird puppet shit. Is it the same as it was back then?
[ "weird puppet shit" see: cal materializing and following him around like a fucking creeper.
dave specifically doesn't comment on the life pods being fixed weeks ago because he can. guess. why karkat was fucking around somewhere else entirely. ]
I mean, to be fucking fair, my only previous experience with it was multiple people yelling at me to wake the fuck up since I was apparently dying or whatever. It's hard to compare.
[ he takes another bite of his sandwich, chews, and then adds on, ] But I dunno. It kind of felt... easier? I don't know how to explain it. But like it was working with me a lot better this time. And also I didn't attempt to literally drown myself after exiting the pod, so that was a bonus?
[ because both he and rose made the whole thing about him learning more about humans families Important and dave just?? switched topics immediately???? he is getting mixed signals here. ]
Nothing. Just checking. Are you going to take the quiz now?
[ WELL UNFORTUNATELY that basis wasn't enough for dave to go ah yes now i can explain and. he doesn't know about shared memories being a thing in dreamscape so he's dropping the topic entirely lmao someday maybe ]
No, 'cause you didn't agree to my terms. [ also he's stuck on the are you mad at me thing ] You know I don't actually care if you do mission stuff, right, I know you can handle yourself.
[ "i know you can handle yourself" UGH this makes him feel bad... karkat is still convinced he almost got rin killed okay, everything is awful, etc. ]
No that's not it? Like I said, I'm just checking. Can't I check to see if my b-word is mad at me or not? I feel like I'm entitled to that. Also your terms suck.

Working with you to do...what, though? Like. What's the point. Did you talk to evil spirits.
no subject
[ karkat stop insulting a 12 year old ]
I guess it's sort of what you just said? But I could control more of what was happening. Fuck, I don't know, it's weird to explain this.
no subject
[ eh. it doesn't sound that useful from what little karkat has said, but he also figures he's just not grasping it. ]
Anyway, you should actually eat your sandwich, dude.
no subject
[ he takes another bite..... not much but. ]
Are you mad at me?
no subject
[ ??????? he doesn't actually care about the gossip girl thing, he just thinks it's dumb. ]
