[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.

[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.

THE TERM IS AUSPISTICES, AND
ACTUALLY WAIT A MINUTE, SOMETHING'S ATTACKING MY WINDOW.

text/action??; (2/2)

[bethehugejerk]

[A moment later, Karkat comes into view on the other side of the window, obscured somewhat by the "hi" darts. He's got a scar on his neck for the obvious reasons, but he mostly looks unamused.]

[He lifts up his SFC and types another message.]

DEMYX
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?

text/action

[ninthserenade]

auspistices. got it. is there anything shorter for it?

_{[He simply grins through the window, one arm casually draped over a bright yellow gun and his SFC dangling between his fingers. When Karkat types, he's already looking down at the screen and responds;]}

jus sayin hi to my new neighbor
i didnt know if it was you or not tho but now i do~
but man
we totally gotta have sleepovers now

text/action

[bethehugejerk]

NO, AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHEN IT'S A TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT ANYWAY.

[He frowns back through the window.]

BRO, I DON'T DO SLEEPOVERS.
I DON'T EVEN SLEEP.
I HARDLY DID BEFORE THIS MESS AND I'M SURE AS HELL NOT GOING TO NOW.

_{[And he flashes a grin in return. Come on, grumpy-gills.]}

well its just a general thing i mean
we can totally play ummmmmmmm
twister or something
and watch movies
and eat pizza n ice cream

text/action

[bethehugejerk]

[His cheeks puff up a bit.]

SO WHAT IF I DID?
YOU'RE MY GOOD FRIEND, I CAN CALL YOU BRO IF I WANT.
I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TWISTER IS, BUT THE REST DOESN'T SOUND BAD.
WHAT MOVIES DO YOU LIKE?

text/action

[ninthserenade]

its not like I mind man
youre my bro too
and twisters a game with like
it has a thingy that tells you where to put your hands and feet and a bunch of colored dots its really fun!!
and ummm
i like lots of movies
i mean sometimes horror ones give me the heebies but i like musicals a lot
also chick flicks apparently cuz xiggy used to give me flak for watching em

text/action

[bethehugejerk]

ARE YOU SURE IT'S FUN, BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS EXTRAORDINARILY DUMB.
BUT BY CHICK FLICKS DO YOU MEAN ROMANCE MOVIES?
BECAUSE ONE, CALLING THEM CHICK FLICKS IS SUCH TOTAL BS.
THEY ARE DEEP SOCIOLOGICAL WORKS OF HIGH MERIT
AND THEY ARE ALSO THE BEST KIND OF FILM THERE IS.
I HAVE A BUNCH, BOTH TROLL AND HUMAN.
BUT I'M NOT INTO MUSICALS.

text/action

[ninthserenade]

dont judge a book by its cover man
or a game in this case
and yeah
romance movies








i know a musical thats a romance one though too
a couple actually
theres a musical of uhhh romeo and juliet

text/action

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat blinks through the window. You have intrigued him, Demyx.]

YOU HAVE A HUMAN VERSION OF THAT?

text/action

[ninthserenade]

yea! gimme a sec

_{[He ducks out of view of the window for about five minutes and then he returns with a copy of West Side Story and the original story of Romeo and Juliet to press the covers against the window.]}

ones a musical an ones the original version like it was wrote i think! i never really read the story-story version in the books yet but i might ask zexion to help me through it

you interested dude?

text/action

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat stays by the window, fiddling with his SFC in the meanwhile. Demyx isn't the only one who responded after all. But when he comes back, he looks up, examining the covers as he can.]

I'VE NEVER SEEN EITHER.
MAKES ME WONDER HOW HUMANS WOULD HANDLE IT, BECAUSE THE TROLL VERSION WAS ABOUT A KISMESISSITUDE.
BUT YEAH SURE.
ERIDAN IS FOR THE WHOLE IDEA IF YOU HAVEN'T BOTHERED TO CHECK THE OTHER PART OF THE THREAD
AND I'M FOR IT IF THERE'S GOOD MOVIES.

text/action

[ninthserenade]

i think the human version is more of uhhhh
lovey love romance red-matesprit side
and oh man yesssssssss
bring eridan too
we can chill with our matesprits on the couch and shit
itll be totally awesome!
