[Goodbye drone husband. Hello Signless who is getting the most restful sleep he's gotten in sweeps. It's almost a shame he's a terribly light sleeper. Even small noises or movements on the other side of the bed will wake him.

Care to test it?]

[Phone]

From what I've- oh, am I not holding it right? I apologize- thank you. From what I've been told I'm no longer on Alternia. I'm not sure how much of a blessing I can call this but I'm sure I'll get used to this town. Being a completely different species, however, will take some adjusting.

Lulu, Di, Psi- if any of you are here, please do not hesitate to let me know. That includes anyone else who may be from Alternia and those who are not. I'd like to meet the..."locals" for lack of a better term.

I'm afraid I must come off as very rude for not introducing myself before asking to meet people. If you wish to call me by a name, you may call me Signless.

Why would you do that?

You know how I feel about him.

[echidna]

I didn't say anything about you! I just wanted to say hi. He just has one of those... [ oh no was that a dreamy little sigh that just slipped out. ] One of those voices that's nice to listen to.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me? Is this really happening?

[He knows just how stupid it is to get mad at this. But Jade is supposed to care about him, and he can't help but see this as a one or the other thing. You can't like Signless and still like Karkat.

So it hurts to think of her talking to him, even though she knows him.]

[echidna]

Karkat, don't. You can't do this. People are going to want to talk to him, your friends are going to want to talk to him, if not because he's your- you know, but just because he's nice. That's why you need to talk to him first.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Fuck you. If they're really my friends, they won't talk to him.

[echidna]

If you're really their friend, then you won't make them pick sides.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh, excuse me. You're right, I have no legitimate complaint. On the one hand, me, on the other hand, a stranger they've only just met. How can I ask them to choose?

[echidna]

I don't... [ she sighs. ] They're going to want to talk to him, and you telling them they can't probably won't work! But what will work is you taking control of the situation now, and talking to him.

I know you're scared, but I think this is really, really important.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No.

I'm not going to talk to him. If they want to find out, that's fine. They can do that. They can find out anything they want.
