[Appearing on screen is a troll, grey-skinned and scowling, utterly unamused as he holds up a tan choker with a heart design. Guess who Sandy Claws visited?]

Thank you, Vatheon, for this pointless and utterly useless gift. This is definitely what I wanted, and you have outdone yourself in practice of earth holidays. I actually liked the stupid lobster until it went and left me this piece of crap.

But if other posts and personal discovery have told me anything, things have been lost and sent where they don't belong. So, I'll make the guess that this thing actually belongs to someone, which is the one saving grace to stop me from throwing it out with the trash. You're welcome.

... On that same subject, though.

[He shifts, coughs.]

If anyone has a--it should look like a crab monster, okay? This white crab thing, a completely badass one. If you have it, just contact me in private and I'll come get it, alright?

The thing about sleep comas here is that people wake up from them eventually. Sure, it can take time, even ridiculous lengths of it, but it happens. Those are comparatively safe.

[But now he frowns a bit, looking down from the screen.]

But I'm not going to just pretend people leaving and forgetting can't be a problem, because it does happen, and I've had it happen to me in other cases. Cases that I'm not talking about because the details aren't important. Sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don't, but somewhere along the way they are guaranteed to find giant hoofbeast bulge and suck like a black hole.

Do they?

[They eventually wake up? Do you see this hopefulness, Karkat? Because it sure is a thing!

Right, let's get back to the subject.]

...If you don't mind another question, what's the longest you've heard of one remaining asleep before waking again?

Yes, they do. I've seen people in them, heard about others, and been through one myself. They're harmless, just annoying and unpredictable.

The longest I know of is two months.

Two months at the longest, and then they wake?

I said it's the longest I know of. It's not like it's a time limit where you get to say, "Hey shithead, wake up!" and they do. They wake up when they wake up, and the best you can do is wait and look after the body until then.
