[FILTERED AWAY FROM YUNO GASAI]

I'M ALIVE AGAIN.
I'M SURE A NUMBER OF YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD IN ONE FASHION OR ANOTHER, OR FIGURED IT OUT FROM THE STANDARD TIME IT TAKES A PERSON TO REVIVE AFTER DEATH
(FOR THE RECORD: FIVE DAYS)
BUT CONSIDER THIS AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL WHO DO NOT YET KNOW.
MAY I ALSO STATE FOR THE RECORD
*ERIDAN DID NOT KILL ME.*
SO LAY THE FUCK OFF BECAUSE HE HAD NO PART IN IT BUT FINDING ME AND REMOVING THE WEAPON.
WHILE I WILL NOT CONDONE A SENSELESS MANHUNT FOR THE CULPRIT
I WILL INFORM YOU OF HER IDENTITY AND WARN YOU TO WATCH OUT FOR HER PARTICULAR BRAND OF BATSHIT.
SHE'S A HUMAN BY THE NAME OF YUNO
LIVES ON FLOOR 2, APARTMENT 5 OF THE LARMLINE COMPLEX
AND HAS LONG PINK HAIR AND PINK EYES.
DO NOT TRUST HER EVEN WITH A COFFEE MUG.
DO NOT TRUST ANY SWEET ACT SHE PUTS ON.
IN FACT, DON'T TRUST HER IN GENERAL.
ALSO MAY YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO ASK ME DUMB QUESTIONS.
I AM NOT GOING TO DISH OUT GORY ACCOUNTS OF HOW I DIED, BECAUSE REALLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.
I WILL HOWEVER REQUEST AN UPDATE ON ANYTHING IMPORTANT I MISSED OVER THE PAST WEEK
BEING AS I COULD NOT KEEP AN EYE ON YOU MORONS ON ACCOUNT OF BEING A CORPSE.

[END FILTER]

[FILTERED TO THE HANDMAID]

I'VE REALIZED SOMETHING FROM THIS.
THE ISSUE ISN'T SO MUCH THAT I WANT YOU TO TRAIN ME
IT'S THAT I NEED TO LEARN.

[Zelda's got questions, but they're at least not dumb ones!]

Was there a personal problem between the two of you? Do you truly believe she is genuinely crazed? If she is, we need to find her and contain her for everyone's sake.

Text

[bethehugejerk]

THE PROBLEM WAS THAT SHE'S ENTIRELY PSYCHOTIC AND THINK I TOLD HER BOYFRIEND SOMETHING ABOUT IT
AND YET I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE GUY.
BUT HEY, YOU TELL ME
I'M ONLY THE GUY WHO HAD MY THROAT SLIT BY HER.

WHAT PART OF NOT CONDONING A SENSELESS MANHUNT DON'T YOU GET?
I AM NOT THE KIND OF TROLL TO USE HEADS AS CONVERSATION PIECES.
I HAVE HAD MORE THAN MY FILL OF SEVERED HEADS ALREADY FROM WHAT HAPPENED IN THE VEIL.
I
SO I'M NOT ACTUALLY SURE WHAT I WANT DONE ABOUT IT YET.
I CANNOT OVERSTATE THE FACT THAT SHE IS UTTERLY BUGFUCK INSANE AFTER THAT MESS
BUT KILLING HER PROBABLY WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING.
I'VE SEEN CHAINS OF MURDER GET OUT OF HAND BEFORE AND I AM NOT LOOKING FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

D --> You may have wanted to filter this from a few others besides the murderous party
D --> If I may so so

[You know. Like him. Yes, he is totally prepared to get his bowkind out and go hunting. What? He made a promise to Equius.]

[private]

[bethehugejerk]

YOU CAN SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS.
I WILL HANDLE IT, ALRIGHT.
JUST BECAUSE I DIED DOESN'T MEAN I'M SUDDENLY INCAPABLE OF BEING A LEADER.

[Nevermind his own worries.]

[mothersunlight]

Hnn...!

[S-she didn't know you died! She feels like a bad friend... :(]

[VOICE]

[bethehugejerk]

[Sticking to voice, because he's not nearly comfortable enough to show off his scar yet.]

Yeah, yeah. There's not much to it other than she's a murderous psychopath and I didn't watch myself half as well as I should have. But I'm fine now.

i knew it!
erm
that eridan wasnt responsible anyways
the murderer lives on the same floor as we did?
i guess it was for better judgement that i was temporarily removed when i was
it is nice to see you alive again!
how was the experience?
i always find it really interesting to hear these things from different points of view
if you wish to tell i mean

[0_0]

also i suppose the only important things that i can think of is that john went back while you were dead

[Same Filter// Video]

[used2btoonpi]

[Okay...it's a little weird to see someone alive after poking around their murder scene but whatever. So people came back here.

Eddie isn't sure how he feels about that yet. So he'll just give Karkat a pretty flat look.]

Thanks for the name, kid. Makes things a hell of a lot easier.

[Like a finger print database but he's not gonna say that. Just shake his head and reach to shut the feed off.]

[Same Filter// Voice]

[bethehugejerk]

[Even if Eddie hangs up, Karkat is calling back! Under the voice setting, given he's not keen on flashing his new scar everywhere.]

Who the heck are you?

[text]

[hexywitch]

I don't think anyone needs the gory details, love. We all saw it.

Thank Merlin you're back. I knew you'd come back, but...well. I saw it.

Is there anything you need?

[text]

[bethehugejerk]

IF I COULD GO BACK AND NOT HAVE DIED IN THE FIRST PLACE, THAT WOULD BE NICE, BUT NO SUCH LUCK.
AND THANK YOU FOR BEING REASONABLE EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULDN'T BE A THING I NEED TO THANK PEOPLE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE.
UGH. I'LL BE GLAD WHEN THIS IS OLD NEWS.

[So much awkward clown turtling in here. But it is okay. You can do it, Gamzee! It is only your moirail

... whose matesprit you have half-blinded, awkwarrrrrd.]

... hi.

Video - private;

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat's been sticking to voice when not using text, but this? This is kind of different. Darkleer asked about Gamzee earlier, and he said he's not going to abandon him, but man is it awkward anyway. So after some debate... video it is.]

[The scar on his neck is completely in view. He doesn't look happy.]

Hi.

[ninthserenade]

its good to have you back man

text; they actually moved into the house next to Demyx

[bethehugejerk]

THANKS.
FOR KEEPING ERIDAN AND GAMZEE FROM TEARING INTO EACH OTHER, TOO.

[Text]

[relinquishing]

[Well. He hadn't really met you yet, Karkat, even though he'd seen you around the network plenty of times. Even though he hadn't been conscious during the time of the murder, he'd witnessed plenty of the aftershock that followed.]

Any particular reason you're not wanting proper justice to be served with this woman?

[Text]

[bethehugejerk]

IT WOULD BE TOO EASY TO TURN THIS INTO A CHAIN OF MURDERS.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN KILLINGS GET OUT OF HAND?
I HAVE
AND I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN.
ESPECIALLY IF SHE WOULD COME BACK AFTER, PROBABLY ANGRIER THAN BEFORE.
SHE'S DANGEROUS ENOUGH WITHOUT FURTHER PROVOCATION.

[ Of course Yukki just so happened to be skimming through the device the moment this pops up-

Yuno.

The alignment of her name catches him a little off guard at first, but as he decides to listen in, his heart begins to sink. Wait, killed? What was going on? This mind raced with questions, emotions. Those starting off with alarm, then quickly making it's way to confusion and finally panic. The description fit; the obscure choice of weaponry, the room number- wait, wasn't that the room why just moved out of?

No... not here! Yuno wouldn't-!

But if she did kill him, how was it possible that he could have returned? Alive again. That didn't make any sense at all. Then again, when did this place ever make any sense. Welp. ]

[ It was then the boy finally flicked on the device, a look of masked horror hidden from the camera.

Oh no, oh no... this couldn't be happening! ]

I... I need to know what happened. [ Could he even apologize on her behalf? YEAH SHE DOES THIS A LOT SORRY... ]

CRY MORE, GRUB.
IF I HAD A FUCKING CHOICE I WOULD HAVE BEEN BACK SOONER
BUT WHOOPS, I WAS DEAD!
FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS.

i'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK,

[bethehugejerk]

GOOD FOR YOU.
WITH ANY LUCK I WILL STAY THAT WAY.

NO, I DON'T NEED ANYTHING.
THINGS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AS MUCH AS THEY CAN BE FOR NOW
AND THE REST
I DON'T KNOW, I'LL FIGURE IT OUT AS I GO.

[gun_symphony]

You're one of the trolls, right? I had heard about your death over the SFC for quite awhile, but I'm glad you're actually thinking clearly about this instead of rushing into things.

I especially am pleased that you filtered the text, for several reasons of course. And thank you for all the information you've given us.

[VOICE]

[bethehugejerk]

[He sticks to voice, as he has every other video user.]

Right. Karkat Vantas. And just because I died doesn't mean I'm about to abandon all logic, freak the hell out, and do the dumbest things I can think of. I'm not just going to let my killer see that I spread her details around the network, and I'm not going to play secretive about a dangerous murderer either.

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola seems a little nervous to speak to Karkat. He'd wanted to meet him, after Signless had expounded on his pride for his descendant, but this wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind.]

Uh, I know you don't know me, but I'm friends with Signless. He's been really sad, so I'm glad you're back, but he's sleeping now. Some of my housemates slept like this during the curse so, um, I think it might be awhile...

I just thought you should know. I don't know if anyone told you yet.

[VOICE]

[bethehugejerk]

[Sticking to voice on his end! He doesn't want to show off his scar so much.]

... Shit. Of all the timing. But at least he's just asleep and not gone. He'll wake up and be fine, memories intact, nothing out of place.

[Maybe he's reassuring himself more.]

No one did mention that, so thanks.

[bombtossing]

[She's snickering slightly as she answers.]

So she's up to her old tricks here too, huh? Thanks for the head's up.

[bethehugejerk]

Finally, someone who actually knows what the deal is with that chick. Has she always been like that?
