[There is quite abruptly a very upset teenage troll on the screen. He's glaring at the camera as if it has personally offended him. Normally he would have done this over text, but he wants to see familiar faces, and besides, the best speeches aren't given over text.]
Listen up, nooksniffers. Here's how this is going to go. I don't have time for this war. I'm already fighting in one, and that one I actually give a shit about. Since I can't leave until this place stops getting his ass kicked, the plan is to win this stupid war as quickly as possible so we can all get back to our miserable lives wherever we came from.
Okay? Good. So, what's being done around here to get everyone battle ready? Whatever it is, sign me up. I need to figure out this whole fucking "being a weapon" thing. [He even does the air quotes for added effect.] Talk to me about the training and shit. Otherwise, keep your squawk blisters shut and brutally destroy those Kishin things.
With one exception. [He raises his pointer finger at the camera. It is not the finger he's used to raising, and he very nearly flubs that up. He's used to giving speeches over text, alright. Maybe he should have done that instead...] I've already seen a couple of familiar faces around here, which leads me to believe there might be more somewhat tolerable assholes around here that I might be familiar with. If you are one of those losers, report to me so I know who's here and therefore not in as much grave danger. Worrying about you bulgelickers is a full time fucking job, alright, and I don't want to have to worry any more than I have to, because it's annoying as shit.
Alright, I'm out. [There's a little fumble and a muffled curse, along with a lovely view of the floor of Karkat's place in Casualty Communal before the feed cuts out.]

...Bees and ants are nothing alike. For one thing, ants are fucking tiny. For another thing, they don't fucking sting you.
Your fiance? [He kind of has the sense that this might be something important. He's obviously referring to Disciple, that much is obvious.] The cat and Cocoa can share? I don't fucking know.
[occ: i'm down with either. a log might be better considering these two will probably talk for days.]video; private

Go and get your shit taken care of, and I'll talk to you soon, I guess. [He's just a liiitle nervous about that.]

[ no surprises there, right? ]
As you wish, Karkat.

[There's a really long awkward pause here. He is not good at this arg. When he speaks up again, he's speaking really fast.] Okay, bye. [There's a moment where he sort of fumbles with it before the video cuts out.]
