WHAT FOUL AND MERCILESS ENTITY ROLLED OUT OF THE SPECIES APPROPRIATE SLUMBER APPARATUS AND DECIDED TO INVENT TIME
WHY, IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS, DID THIS ASSHOLE INSTILL INTO LIVING BEINGS THE CONCEPT OF THINGS HAPPENING BEFORE AND AFTER EACH OTHER
AND WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AFFLICTED WITH THIS WHEN I'M NOT EVEN A FUCKING TIME PLAYER.
WAS IT NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ENDLESS STABLE TIME LOOPS HOLDING THE SHODDY STICKS AND TWINE OF OUR TIMELINE TOGETHER?
WHAT ABOUT THE FLUX OF PEOPLE BACK AND FORTH FROM DIFFERENT SPOTS ALONG THAT LINE LIKE BACKWASH FROM AN ILL-CLEANED MOUTH INTO A SOULMELTING BOTTLE OF FAYGO???
WELL I GUESS THE FUCK NOT, BECAUSE HERE I AM BEING FORCED TO DEAL WITH OVER FIVE YEARS WORTH OF MEMORIES LAID OVER THE TOP OF EACH OTHER LIKE PARADOX SPACE DECIDED TO MAKE A PARTICULARLY AWFUL SANDWICH OUT OF THEM.
SAID SANDWICH HAS THEN BEEN FORCE FED DIRECTLY INTO MY THINK PAN
I AM OVERSTUFFED WITH RECOLLECTION AND REMEMBRANCE
MY BRAIN WOULD VOMIT IF IT WERE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. CONTEMPLATE THAT FOR A MINUTE.
OR HOWEVER LONG, I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE UNITS, AND NONE OF IT WILL APPROXIMATE THE SCREAMING HEADACHE CURRENTLY DECIMATING MY CRANIAL UNIT.
COULD I NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS IN EASILY DIGESTED PIECES
WOULD THAT BE SO FUCKING HARD TO DO.
SURE, SEND ME BACK A COUPLE HOURS THAT FIRST TIME, BUT NO! YOU SCIENTIST NOOKMONGERS JUST *HAD* TO GIVE ME THE FULL THREE YEARS.
WHO CARES THAT I WAS ALREADY 15 AND A HALF IN EARTH YEARS, I OBVIOUSLY NEEDED THE SQUALID, STULTIFYING EXPERIENCE OF LIVING SOME OF THEM TWICE! PLUS AN EXTRA FEW MONTHS!!
SO UNTIL MY SPONGE STOPS TRYING TO CANNIBALIZE ITSELF (ETA: NOT FUCKING SOON ENOUGH), DO NOT EXPECT COHERENCY FROM ME
BECAUSE I CANNOT EVEN SORT OUT THE SIMPLE CONCEPT OF "YESTERDAY" FROM THE FESTERING REMAINS OF MY OWN THOUGHT ORGAN.
YESTERDAY MEANS TOO MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW.
YESTERDAY CAN FRANKLY GO FUCK ITSELF TWICE IN A BRAND NEW ORIFICE I'VE JUST INVENTED FOR IT.
ALL I KNOW IS THE LESS I SEE OF POSSESSED PSYCHOPATHS AND THEIR WEAPONIZED CUTLERY, THE BETTER.
SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED SINCE I DISAPPEARED AND WHO'S HERE, BECAUSE I CANNOT EVEN CARE TO CHECK THE LIST RIGHT NOW.

Should I See Anyone Who Looks Like That I Shall Be Sure To Let You Know.
You Were Killed By Her?

[bethehugejerk]

THANKS.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID
AND TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT MISTAKE GETTING STABBED THROUGH WITH AN EATING UTENSIL FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

[wavesofjade]

I Do Not Imagine That You Would.
Though I Am Curious As To The Circumstances I Can Understand If You Would Prefer Not To Think Of It.

[bethehugejerk]

I'VE TOLD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALREADY SO IT'S NOT THAT MUCH OF A TRIAL.
BUT ANYWAY
BASICALLY HER IMPERIOUS CONDESCENSION TOOK OVER THE EARTH FROM THE NEW SESSION, WHICH IS TO SAY THE EARTH DIRK AND HIS TEAM LIVED ON
THEN SOMEHOW SHE GOT INTO THEIR GAME SESSION, I DON'T KNOW, AND ANYWAY HER GOAL IS TO TRY TO RESTART THE EMPIRE ON WHAT'S LEFT OF THAT EARTH.
DIRK OR ROXY COULD TELL YOU MORE ABOUT SOME OF IT, OR AT LEAST ABOUT WHAT SHE DID BEFORE THE GAME.
BUT ANYWAY, WHAT'S LEFT OF MY TEAM PLUS ROSE AND DAVE END UP AT THE NEW SESSION, PARTLY WITH JADE'S HELP, THOUGH SHE WAS POSSESSED BY THE EMPRESS SOMEHOW
THEN WE GET SCATTERED ACROSS THE DIFFERENT LANDS THERE, I DON'T KNOW HOW, NONE OF US REMEMBER, BUT I END UP ON JADE'S OLD LAND WITH KANAYA.
JADE'S THERE TOO AND SHE TELLS US THAT STUFF ABOUT THE EMPRESS, WHO APPARENTLY EXPECTS KANAYA AND ME TO JUST FOLLOW ALONG LIKE GOOD LITTLE SLAVES AND HELP SEND THE GENESIS FROG ON ITS TRIP TO SKAIA
WHICH IF YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THAT, YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO, SO DON'T WORRY.
AND THIS IS A SACK OF GLOBES, RIGHT? DID SHE REALLY EXPECT ME TO JUST BOW DOWN AND GO OH YES LET ME BE A GRATEFUL SERVANT TO THE CONDESCE, I AM JUST READY AND RARING TO PROSTRATE MYSELF BEFORE HER GRAND FISHY WILL???
BUT JANE IS ALSO THERE, ALSO POSSESSED, AND I GUESS THE ENFORCER OF THIS OPERATION
AND THERE'S SOME BULLSHIT ABOUT THREATENING KANAYA WITH HER LIFE POWERS BECAUSE OF SOME CONVOLUTED CRAP ABOUT HOW RAINBOW DRINKERS SUPPOSEDLY WORK
BUT THE END RESULT IS SHE DEMONSTRATES IT ON ME BY STABBING ME THROUGH ON HER GIANT FORK, THEN REVIVING ME A MINUTE LATER.
I MEAN, I FREAKED THE FUCK OUT, YOU DON'T JUST GO THROUGH THAT AND DON'T REACT
BUT I CAN'T EVEN REALLY BE MAD ABOUT IT?
DYING HERE WAS A LOT WORSE, BUT THAT WAS THE FAULT OF SOME PSYCHO BITCH THINKING I DID SOMETHING I DIDN'T AND THEN FRAMING ERIDAN FOR THE MURDER
BUT THIS WAS WITH BOTH OF THEM POSSESSED, AND JANE DIDN'T EVEN ACT LIKE SHE CARED ABOUT IT?
I'M STILL GOING TO KEEP WAAAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER IF SHE SHOWS UP, DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT IT DEFINITELY ISN'T GETTING ME AS WORKED UP AS THE REST OF THIS HAS.

[wavesofjade]

I Believe That I Have Heard Some Of The Activities Of Her Imperious Condescension From Young Dirk.
Though I Had Not Realised That Her Reach Had Extended So Far.
It Sounds As If You Were Very Brave, Karkat.

[bethehugejerk]

BRAVE?
WHAT THE HELL IS SO BRAVE ABOUT GETTING STABBED
IT'S NOT LIKE I STOOD UP AND INVITED HER TO COME AT ME, IT JUST HAPPENED, AND THEN I WAS DEAD, AND THEN I WASN'T
THE END.

[wavesofjade]

You Stood Up To Her Despite Knowing What That Might Mean For You.
Either You Were Brave, Or Foolish, And You Do Not Strike Me As The Latter.

[bethehugejerk]

DO YOU REALLY THINK I REALIZED I WAS GOING TO GET IMPALED JUST THEN?
I WASN'T JUST FOOLISH, I WAS DOWNRIGHT FOOLHARDY
THOUGH I STILL STAND BEHIND WHAT I SAID.

[wavesofjade]

Which Part, Dear?
You Have Said Quite A Lot.

[bethehugejerk]

I MEAN WHAT I SAID TO JANE ABOUT NOT WANTING TO HELP THE EMPRESS.
SHE'S AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LEADER AND ALL AND DIDN'T HAVE THAT SPOT FOR NOTHING, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO JUST SUBMIT TO SLAVERY AND BUILD UP A NEW UNIVERSE JUST FOR HER PURPOSES.

[wavesofjade]

And You Do Not See The Bravery In That?

[bethehugejerk]

...OKAY, POINT MADE.
BUT IT WAS STILL STUPID AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ARGUE ME OFF THAT POINT.

[wavesofjade]

Bravery Often Is, Young One.
Or In The Very Least, Appears To Be So.
