[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.]

know what you mean
about hatiing self
sometiimes wiish could acknowledge as readiily as you
would probably be healthiier
iis thiing sollux and self have iin common

could make machiines do anythiing when had powers
am much slower now
have to pay attentiion to basiics
could code wiith =miind= so never diid before

WELL, FUCK, THERE YOU GO YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
YOU JUST ACKNOWLEDGED IT RIGHT THERE, CONGRATS DUDE.
HONESTLY I'M SO USED TO DEALING WITH IT AND ARGUING WITH SOLLUX ABOUT WHO HATES OURSELVES MORE, THAT IT'S KIND OF A NATURAL THING TO SAY FOR ME NOW.

ANYTHING?
HOLY SHIT NO WONDER HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU YOU COULD USE YOUR MIND TO DO COOL SHIT.
THAT SUCKS YOU HAD TO RELEARN IT ALL THOUGH.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT STOPPED HIM FROM CHALLANGING TO YOU TO A COMPUTER DUEL FOR HIS CODING HONOR, OR WHATEVER.
...HE DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO THAT, RIGHT?
TELL ME HE WASN'T THAT STUPID.

thank you??
dont want to worry famiily
havent talked to ss about iit
though am sure hes guessed some

no sollux hasnt
he would easiily wiin that one

dont thiink he =diisliikes= self as such
though admiit have tendency to try to make hiim talk about feeliings

YEAH, I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
THERE'S SOME PEOPLE YOU JUST CAN'T TELL ABOUT SHIT LIKE THIS.
THEY WOULDN'T GET IT.
SOLLUX WORKS FOR ME BECAUSE HE HATES HIMSELF TOO SO IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DISCUSS WITHOUT ONE OF US WANTING TO HAVE A FEELINGS JAM ABOUT IT OR SOMETHING.
WE BOTH UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING ANYONE SAYS IS GOING TO CONVINCE US TO STOP IT, SO WE DON'T BOTHER.

I DON'T KNOW DUDE.
ANCESTORS ARE KIND OF FUCKING HUGE AND POWERFUL.
YOU'D PROBABLY AT LEAST HOLD YOUR OWN AGAINST HIM.

HAHAHA, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
SOLLUX DOESN'T DO THAT SHIT EXCEPT WITH SOMEONE HE'S QUADRANTED TOO.
IF FEFERI OR ARADIA WERE AROUND, MAYBE THEY COULD GET HIM TO SPEAK UP ABOUT HIS FEELINGS, BUT SINCE THEY'RE NOT,, THERE'S NO WAY HE'S GOING TO SPEW ALL HIS FUCKING TROUBLES AT YOU.

have liived hundreds of sweeps
and am pretty sure have never felt urge to cliimb iinto piile and have feeliings jam
giiven that
suppose iis sliightly hypocriitiical to want descendant to talk about thiings
stiill
wiish could be of some help to hiim
feel partly responsiible for shiitty world younger trolls iinheriited

dont know where you got iidea all ancestors are iintiimiidatiing
dont =thiink= am
especiially wiithout powers

NOT ONCE?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE, THAT'S PRETTY SAD DUDE.
I KIND OF THOUGHT HAVING PALE FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE IS SORT OF A CONSTANT AMONG OUR SPECIES.
I GUESS IT'S NOT AS BAD IN YOUR CASE SINCE YOU'D PROBABLY BE THE STABLE PARTNER ANYWAY.
IF YOU ACTUALLY NEEDED A MOIRAIL IT'D BE A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT SHIT YOU CAN'T CHANGE.
IT'S FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL OF ME TO SAY THAT BUT I DON'T GIVE A FLYING HOOFBEAST.
AND ANYWAY, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
IF I HADN'T HIT THE GENETIC JACKPOT, I COULD BE A CAPTAIN SOMEWHERE, RISING THROUGH THE RANKS.

YOU'RE INTIMIDATING BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING ANCIENT.
YOU'RE A FULLY GROWN TROLL FOR ONE THING, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE NEVER SAW ON ALTERNIA.
FOR ANOTHER, YOU'RE NOT JUST FULLY GROWN YOU'RE HUNDREDS OF SWEEPS OLD.
THAT'S PRETTY FUCKING FREAKY DUDE.
EIGHT SWEEP TROLLS DON'T EXACTLY RUN INTO TROLLS YOUR AGE EVERY DAY.

..
dont know iif should be flattered or confused that you thiink would be stable one

never had real friiend untiil met your ancestor
then diidnt really thiink needed moiiraiil
had best friiend

could have done somethiing
could have flown iinto nearest star
was tempted sometiimes..
but shouldnt dwell on past

wiill probably meet iin person eventually
am sure you wont be iintiimiidated long

YOU SHOULD BE FLATTERED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING YOU'VE GOT SOLLUX THE FREAKJOB AS YOUR DESCENDANT.
YOU SEEM ALRIGHT THOUGH.
YOU'RE CERTAINLY LESS ASSHOLISH THAN HIM.

YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S ALRIGHT, BUT BEST FRIENDS AND BEING SOMEONE'S MOIRAIL ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE HAD ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT MOIRAILS AT ONCE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SIGNLESS IS LIKE THOUGH, SO I GUESS I CAN'T TALK.

UGH, GOD, WHY ARE CAPTOR'S SO FUCKING DEFEATIST AND DEPRESSING ALL THE FUCKING TIME?
WOULD IT KILL YOU GUYS TO BE A LITTLE MORE OPTIMISTIC FOR ONCE?

YEAH, PROBABLY NOT.
I'M NOT INTIMIDATED EASILY, EVEN IF YOU ARE AN ADULT.

all riight
am flattered
thanks

had liimiited optiions iin own world
and never really had pale feeliings as such for anyone
maybe wiill fiind out what feels liike here

sorry
dont mean to be depressiing

what iis status of world iin tiime you come from??
iis war wiith =her=??

MAYBE.
HELL, IF HUMANS AND HUMAN LIKE CREATURES CAN DO IT I DON'T SEE WHY YOU CAN'T.

AND DON'T APOLOGIZE.
JUST DO IT.

YES AND NO.
I MEAN, WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST HER BUT WE'RE ALSO FIGHTING AGAINST A SHIT TON OF POWERFUL OTHER ENEMIES.
IT'S COMPLICATED.
ALTERNIA'S BEEN DESTROYED COMPLETELY, SO OUR RACE IS DOWN TO MY LIVING FRIENDS AND *HER*.
MY GROUP'S BEEN HIDING ON A METEOR FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW WE'RE FINALLY READY TO GET SHIT DONE.
WELL, MAYBE NOT READY, BUT IT'S TIME ANYWAY.
WE'RE ARRIVING AT THE LOCATION WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET THE HUMANS.
SOLLUX ISN'T WITH ME, IN MY TIME.
HE'S WANDERING AROUND BEING A HALF DEAD ASSHOLE WITH ARADIA.
HOPEFULLY THE TWO OF THEM WILL BOTHER TO SHOW UP WHEN WE ACTUALLY NEED THEM.
