[ VIDEO ] - [ Hydrogen ]

[goodnightsweetprince]

[ Well, if you didn't want to see a close-up of Prince Gumball's pink orchid face for the opening of this video then today is not your lucky day. After exploring the extent of his little pink amaranth iStarfish, figuring out its purpose, trying to get it to play techno music and dying in the first level of a game he found on it, he decided to use it to communicate.

However, he pressed record too quickly and started the video prematurely. After a moment, he pulled it away so the network can be greeted with a more normal shot.

Generally, when Gumball finds himself kidnapped or in another dimension or possessed, Fionna is efficient and heroic enough to save him within a reasonable timeframe. This time, it's been a while so he decides to take matters into his own hands to see what the hold-up is.

He is also feeling a little extra impatient given how...wet the current location is and how his pink salmon rainboots are nowhere in sight. ]

Greetings, citizens of Vatheon! My name is Prince Gumball of the Candy Kingdom. Though my stay thus far has been nice-- [ and he thinks that's being kind ]-- I worry about my subjects back home and their low tolerance for stress. If you could be so kind as to direct me to your nearest ship port or best place to create a wormhole back home, I would be delightfully grateful. Ideally, I'd like to return on the morrow but if one is not available, my previous requests are sufficient.

[ He holds up a wet and sandy towel between his pinched fingers. ]

Also, is there a towel butler around? I'd like to receive a new towel at your soonest convenience, I dropped mine.

Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.

[VIDEO]

[persea]

You a friend of his?

[VIDEO] Gumball-mun I am so sorry for your post

[bethehugejerk]

He's not my goddamn friend!

[VIDEO]

[persea]

Hey, how am I supposed to know? I'm new here, remember? And I don't pretend to understand troll social structures or whatever.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat bares his fangs, growling a bit.]

He is a target of deep, platonic hatred, and that's the end of it. Understand?

[VIDEO]

[persea]

[Well that...doesn't entirely make sense, but the concept isn't too hard to grasp. He thinks. Maybe.]

Your rival, your mortal enemy, your nemesis. Got it.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

I said platonic, jackass. He's not a rival anymore, and god for-fucking-bid anything stronger. He is annoying, and a stinking sack of sweat, and that's it.

[VIDEO]

[persea]

So...you have rivalries that are...non-platonic?

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

Why do you think I would specify platonic hate if we didn't? You humans get dumber and dumber about troll romance every time I bring it up.

[VIDEO]

[persea]

We're not a hivemind. I don't know everything you've talked about with every other human. And I'm only half human anyway.

So fine. Romantic hate. Why not.

[VIDEO]

[stayb100ponyboy]

NO.

We were all of those things, but not any longer.

[VIDEO]

[persea]

Whoa, okay, I get it. Bad breakup in the hate romance department.

I'm Percy, by the way.

[VIDEO] HI FAE HI FAE HIIIIII

[stayb100ponyboy]

It wasn't a bad breakup. I was just too much for him to handle, so he bailed.

I'm Equius.

[VIDEO] HI KATHRYN HI

[persea]

Sure, whatever dude. I'm not going to pretend to know how that shit works.

Nice to meet you, Equius.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

You lying sack of pus. You weren't too much for me to handle; you were boring, and I got sick and tired of a kismesis who couldn't bother to provide a worthwhile rivalry or even motivate me to care enough to do the same. And why the hell do you feel the need to tell him that?

ooc: no i love it

[goodnightsweetprince]

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat's response is late, and like the one to Percy just now, it's with a flipped table in the background. Too late, Equius.]

Go break off your other horn and impale yourself on it. If I don't get to troll you, you don't get to troll me, and I have zero patience for this right now.

[VIDEO]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Not that he really cares anymore, but that flipped table gives him a certain level of satisfaction.]

I'm not trolling. I'm simply pointing out that you are making all trolls look bad with your foolishness. Stop that at once.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

And now you have all the pompous assitude [which is totally a word shut up] to order me around? Is that how you think this works now? Guess what: it doesn't! It is never going to work like that, and I am not "making trolls look bad". I'm the leader, anyhow, so you don't get to order me anymore than when we were black.

Don't you have a towel to go ruin?

[VIDEO]

[stayb100ponyboy]

You're making us look terrible.

I don't know, are there any more tables in your hive that need to be flipped?

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

More than you do by your own existence?

[He'll flip tables at his own discretion, thanks, which means he ignores the comment.]

[VIDEO]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Likewise, Equius will ruin towels at his own discretion.]

I'm not the one screeching and ranting at innocent newcomers like an enraged cholerabear and questioning the very nature of their existence.

[So there.]

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

So I'm the only one between us who has the sense to question the logic of people made from literal candy. Good to know I'm still carrying the sole functional brain in this group.

[VIDEO]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Apparently you've already forgotten about alternate universes and worlds completely unlike our own, such as the ones populated by humans. How sad that early onset dementia has already set in.

Re: [VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

But none of those places had candy people or anything approaching it, which is the whole point I was trying to make.
