CG: I'VE HAD IT.
CG: I'VE SERIOUSLY FUCKING HAD IT.
CG: WHY IN THE FINAGLED *FUCK* CAN'T THE IDIOTS IN THIS CITY WRAP THEIR SHRIVELLED THINKPANS AROUND THE FACT THAT PEOPLE NEED TO FUCKING *SLEEP*?
CG: SERIOUSLY. SUN'S UP, *SHUT UP*. I AM SICK TO DEATH OF HEARING PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD CARS AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
CG: LIKE, OKAY, DUDE, WE GET IT. YOUR BULGE IS A FLOPPY TOOTHPICK AND YOUR NOOK LOOKS LIKE A FESTERING WOUND. DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO COMPENSATE BY REVVING YOUR ENGINE LIKE SOME SORT OF TRANSFORMER HUMMING OUT A MATING CALL.
CG: [section:grey]FUCKING *SERIOUSLY*. CAN WE GET AN ISLAND TO SHIP ALL THESE ASSHOLES OFF TO? AND THEN US RESPECTFUL, *QUIET* PEOPLE CAN GET A GOOD DAY'S SLEEP.
arsenicCatnip [AC] has started responding to memo
CG: I AM GOING TO BLOW A FUCKING GASKET IF I HEAR ONE MORE CAR HORN WHEN I'M TRYING TO GET SOME SHUTEYE.

CG: OH, SURE. I'LL JUST HOIST MY HIVE OVER MY SHOULDER AND TAKE A LEISURELY STROLL TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.
CG: THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION. REALLY, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?
CG: OH, THAT'S RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S *FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE*.
CG: IF I COULD REASONABLY MOVE, I'D HAVE DONE SO SWEEPS AGO.
CG: I DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET TO GET A NEW PLACE. THIS HIVE IS LIKE, ONE OF MY ONLY POSSESSIONS. AND IT'S STILL SHIT.
AC: :33< sorry, I guess I should have thought of that
AC: :33< :((
AC: :33< I guess I don't really mind the city noise as much as you do
CG: UGH.
CG: NO, YOUR SUGGESTION WAS REASONABLE.
CG: I'M JUST KIND OF PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW, IF YOU COULDN'T TELL.
CG: SLEEPING HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER LATELY.
CG: IT SUCKS.

CA: my life is not borin kar im a highblood ivve got important things to do all the time here
CP: Hello, also the reason you hear car horns and moving engines is because humans are on a different sleep schedule then trolls. But you know this, I'm assuming.
CG: YEAH, WELL, I DID KNOW THAT, FUCK YOU.
CP: Just making sure.
GC: 3R1D4N PL34S3 DONT T3LL M3 "1MPORT4NT TH1NGS" 4R3 FL4RP1NG W1TH VR1SK4
CG: AS *IF*, TEREZI. THERE'S NO WAY THOSE TWO ARE STILL PLAYING THEIR WRIGGLER GAMES.
AC: :33< i sure hope not
AC: :33< by now i figured they grew out of it
CA: actually i havvent talked to her in awwhile we just reconnected a short bit ago
CA: are you seriously tryin to frame flarp as a game for wwrigglers good gog
CA: surely you havve at least A SLIGHT IDEA of howw it wworks like half a this damn group has played it at some point
CA: flarpin is serious business you livve an die by the twwitch a your blade an the speed a your finger on the trigger
CA: course i doubt youd understand all you evver did wwas be a loudmouthed shut in an yell at other trolls wwho wwere actually doin somethin wwith their livves
CP: CA is right on that, games for grubs equal more happy things like Taxes and Suburbs.
CP: FLARP is for older grubs top
GC: WH4T 4R3 T4X3S
AC: :33< I've nefur played because it is dangerous!!
AC: :33< and i hate when you guys do that
CP: Imagine the gov taking your money too
CP: That's taxes
CG: WOW. OKAY, SO, FUCK YOU, FIRST OF ALL.
CG: AND SECONDLY, FLARP *IS* A GAME FOR WRIGGLERS. DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK DRESSING UP IN YOUR TACKY COSTUME MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE ANYTHING MORE THAN AN OVERLY-DRAMATIC KID?
CG: DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. WHAT'S EVEN THE *POINT* IN PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE? SURELY ONLY WRIGGLERS WOULD EVEN *CONSIDER* DOING THAT. OR SOCIAL REJECTS.
AC: :33< well dressing up in costumes can be fun
AC: :33< and rolepurring
GC: DR3SS1NG UP 1S R34LLY FUN >:[
GC: K4RK4T YOUR3 NOT 4LLOW3D 1N MY TR33 4NYMOR3
AC: :33< i like the not dangerous rps
CA: wwhatevver i forgot how tryin to reason wwith you wwas akin to tryin to havve an engagin convversation about the prospects a the empire wwith a brick wwall so im not gonna bother gettin my knickers in a twwist dealin wwith your bs
CA: callin flarp a wrigglers game is just bein blatantly ignorant though an i havve to echo the wwords a the rest a the chat here theres nothin wwrong with dressin up in somethin fun evvery noww an again
CA: i got a wwhole room in my hivve just for it
AC: :33< speaking of hehe
AC: :33< *ac pounced over to give all of fur friends big hugs*
CG: I DIDN'T *WANT* TO GO TO YOUR TREE, TEREZI.
CG: CONSIDER YOUR WONKING PRIVILEGES REVOKED, AS WELL.
CG: ERIDAN, YOU'VE GOT WHOLE ROOMS DEDICATED TO ALL SORTS OF ASININE SHIT.
CG: FUCK, YOU'VE PROBABLY GOT, LIKE, A ROOM DEDICATED TO PREPARING FOOD.
CG: OH, AND A ROOM *SPECIFICALLY* FOR SITTING DOWN. A "SITTING ROOM" OR SOME STUPID SHIT LIKE THAT.
GC: FUCK YOU 1LL WONK 4LL 1 W4NT
GC: WONK. >;[
AC: :33< *the huntress informs karkat that most people have a sitting room it can just also be called a livingroom*
CA: wwhats wwrong wwith havvin a sittin room dont you evver need some time to sit dowwn an collect your thoughts
CA: maybe put on some soothin music an start a nice flame wwhile you reminisce on the past an wwonder about the future
CA: sometimes i forgot howw the vvast majority a the people i speak to are sevverly lackin in the bein cultured department
CA: howwd i evver end up bein stuck wwith a group like you lot anywways
CG: WHAT THE FUCK? LIKE, YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING THERE OTHER THAN SIT DOWN AND ATTEMPT TO BE INTROSPECTIVE?
CG: THAT GENUINELY SOUNDS LIKE THE BIGGEST WASTE OF LIVING SPACE IMAGINABLE
CG: YOU DON'T NEED A DEDICATED ROOM TO THINK. THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY STUPID. YOU'RE MAKING THIS SHIT UP.
AC: :33< ugh the fish is being rude
AC: :33< come on eridan you are stepping on my tail here
CA: the fish
CA: im a SEADWWELLER not a FISH you got any idea howw much of a difference there is betwwen one a those sacks a scales an someone like me
CA: thats like me callin any a you the grass or the dirt or somethin equally stupid on account a your habitat
CA: an either wway pointin out the facts isnt bein rude all im doin is iteratin the obvvious
CA: kars got no clue wwhat a sittin room is you spend all your time in the middle a nowwhere killin things wwith your bare hands an wwe all knoww rezi at this point
AC: :33< you breath underwater
CP: Interesting.
AC: :33< maybe amphibian is a better word
AC: :33< but i like calling you a stinky fish hehe
AC: :33< but me calling you a fish is just like you calling me a land animal
GC: F1SH BOY H3H3H
AC: :33< which i am
CG: ALRIGHT, COME ON, GUYS.
CG: I'M NOT ABOVE PETTY INSULTS, YOU ALL KNOW THIS BY NOW. BUT ISN'T CALLING HIM A FISH JUST STOOPING TO HIS LEVEL OF CASTEISM?
CG: ... OH MY GOD. I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT.
CG: I AM GOING TO FUCKING MURDER KANKRI VANTAS.
AC: :33< oh boy
AC: :33< i'm not castist
AC: :33< am i :<
AC: :33< i don't know i've b33n calling him a fish since we were little
AC: :33< i'm sorry if i upset you eridan it wasn't suppose to be mean
CP: if you want to insult them, do it by other factors.
GC: K4RK4T!!! MURD3R 1SNT JUST1C3!!!!
CG: NO, NO. SHUT THE FUCK UP, NEPETA, I WASN'T TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD.
CG: I'VE JUST BEEN SO WOUND UP BY THAT RAMBLING SWEATER-WEARING NOOKWIPE.
CG: THIS SHIT USUALLY DOESN'T OFFEND ME AT ALL. WELL, ANY MORE THAN EVERYTHING ELSE OFFENDS ME. I'M JUST ON EDGE, I GUESS. SORRY.
CG: MURDER *IS* JUSTICE WHEN IT COMES TO *HIM*.
CP: Murder For Murder will only create chaos but I'm being a hypocrite so
AC: :33< okay :(
CA: wwow seriously
CA: you guys are actually apologizin to ME for once i nevver thought id see the day that anyone wwould actually come out an admit they wwere unfairly aggrievin me but i suppose theres a first time for evverythin
CA: i almost wwish i had a camera on me so i could take a picture a the chat right noww but unfortunately i left my camera in the camera room so i dont havve it on me anymore
CA: maybe i should go get it but the chat wwill probably havve movved by then
CA: oh wwell
CA: ANYWWAYS if youre all realizin the error a your wways here wwho am i to turn you dowwn
CA: maybe theres hope for landwwellers after all although its gonna take me more then one demonstration to think you arent deservvin a your lesser placin on the hemospecturm
CG: OH MY GOD. I TAKE IT ALL BACK.
CG: ERIDAN, YOU REALLY ARE THE WORST.
CG: I GAVE YOU AN INCH AND YOU TOOK A MILE. FUCK, YOU TOOK A *LIGHTYEAR*.
CG: I'D SAY "DON'T LET IT GET TO YOUR HEAD", BUT I'M NOT SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO LET THINGS GET ANYWHERE ELSE. UGH.
AC: :33< there you go back to being mean again
AC: :33< gosh i'm defiantly going to keep calling you a fish now
CA: hmph
CA: wwell i guess then if wwere retractin our statements then ill be retractin mine as wwell
CA: clearly i wwas wwrong expectin somethin from a group a landlovvin mehbloods
AC: :33< can't you for two seconds get your head out of your waste chute
AC: :33< it is so hard to even want to be friends with you
GC: F1GHT F1GHT F1GHT
AC: :33< you are so self absorbed
AC: :33< furezi :(
GC: WH4T 1M BOOOOOOOOR3D
AC: :33< fighting isn't going to solve anything
CG: "MEHBLOODS" IS AN IMPROVEMENT, I GUESS. I'LL TAKE IT.
CG: ENOUGH DISCOURSE FOR NOW. LET'S ACT LIKE FUCKING ADULTS.
CG: ERIDAN, HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW SWEET BRO AND HELLA JEFF MOVIE?
CG: I THINK IT'S CALLED LIKE, "THE THE SBAJH MOIVE: 4 THE LOST FILESE" OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW, HUMAN MOVIE TITLES ARE SO FUCKING STUPID.
CG: REALLY, THOUGH, I'M IMPRESSED THEY MANAGED TO DIG UP *MORE* "LOST FILES". HAVEN'T THE LAST, LIKE, SIX MOVIES JUST BEEN COMPILATIONS OF PREVIOUSLY CUT SCENES? IT'S REALLY BIZARRE.
CP: Damn, they all going at each other.
CP: Though the idea of FLARP intrigues me.
CP: I've heard about it from high blood social circles and something is extremely interesting about it.
CP: what class do you play CA?
CA: that wwhole series is a complete wrreck i honestly havve trouble fathomin howw it could be anythin other then sarcastic but knowwin howw much of a wwackjob the guy wwho directs em is i got no wway a sayin for sure
CA: i ended up givvin it an honest try but to be honest the whole swweet saga is startin to get so incoherent is difficult to followw properly outside a gawwkin at the sheer absurdity a the wwhole thing
CA: that scene wwhere they cut from the guy fallin dowwn the stairs to a completely unrelated plot point an then back to the stairs wwithin the span a twwo minutes stands out as havvin no clue wwhat is tryin to acomplish
CA: so basically unless youre wwatchin it for the marvvel a the most inane film youvve evver seen you got no reason to watch it
CA: almost like its tryin to perfect itself as a so bad its good movvie really wwhich is an interestin angle to actively shoot for
CA: as for wwho i flarp as i typically go for the same class as vvris in bein a petticoat seagrift
CA: part a the fun a the wwhole thing is tryin to see wwho can amass more treasure an fame wwhile havvin the same tools like a real test a wwhos the better flarper in that respect
CA: vvris might tell you she usually does better then me but thats a bunch a blueblood hoghwwash obvviously as a seadwweller i got the advantage in bein a pirate so its really not a contest at all
AC: :33< having the advantage means you don't have to work as hard
AC: :33< so i'd say vriskers does better than you
AC: :33< I still don't like the game though
CG: I DON'T KNOW. I KIND OF LIKED IT.
CG: THE SCENE WHERE THEY BROUGHT THE LOVE INTEREST TO THE SUBWAY VENTS JUST TO SNIFF THE FUMES REALLY WARMED MY BLOODPUSHER, YOU KNOW?
CG: SURE IT'S ABSURD AND BORDERLINE INCOHERENT AT TIMES, BUT I REALLY THINK THERE'S A DEEPER MESSAGE BEHIND THE MADNESS.
CG: AND THAT TRIBUTE TO DONALD GLOVER AT THE END MADE ME TEAR UP.
CG: FUCKING, IRONICALLY, OF COURSE.
CG: JUST... HE REALLY STOLE THE SHOW WITH HIS ROLE AS NEW FRIEND GEROMY. HE WAS A SAVANT. ONE OF THE GREATS.
GC: 1 SM3LL3D 4W4Y FOR ON3 S3COND WH4T 1S H4PP3N1NG
AC: :33< hehe karkitty you are such a sap
AC: :33< and thats coming furom me
CG: I AM *NOT* A SAP.
CG: HE WAS A REALLY TALENTED ACTOR, OKAY? YOU WOULDN'T GET IT.
CG: FUCK, THIS IS MAKING ME THINK BACK TO THAT SCENE WHERE THEY SLID THE NACHOS UNDER THE BATHROOM DOOR.
CG: I'M GETTING EMOTIONAL.
CP: A pirate class makes sense for a Sea dweller. And not knowing this Vris, all I can assume is that you your self are good at your class but I can't make a comment on their abilty.
CP: But Seeing as its a sea dwelling class, I'm assuming you sacked your fair of ships?
AC: :33< awww don't get sad karkitty it's okay
CA: yeah wwell if there wwas any sort a message behind the dowwnright insanity a the film then it wwas lost on me ivve nevver really gotten anythin out a vviewwin them other then confusion and amusement
CA: i agree though it wwas a shame wwhat happened with don usually im not too big a fan a these thinskins but his actin talent wwas on par wwith any highblood
CA: killin him wwas probably one a the feww things the empress evver did i wwasnt totally on board wwith although if anyone asks i nevver said anythin a the sort
CA: im gettin wwhiplash swwitchin betwwen topics like this but yes i did destroy a fair share a galleons wwith the arms a my ancestor
CA: im sure youvve heard a it before ahabs crosshairs its one a the wweapons a legend spoken about in hushed tones across alternia for howw powwerful an mysterious it is
CA: no lusus or ship evver took a hit from that an wwalked awway wwithout havvin a gapin hole in it
CG: SHIPS CAN'T WALK, DICKNIPS.
CP: Your fellow violet bloods often speak about in low tones. Many of them telling wary stories of a huge beam of energy. You are quite a popular conversation topic.
CP: I am thoroughly impressed with your skill and your reputation is merely a factor of you I'm shore.
CP: Sure*
CA: okay wwell most ships dont but i HAVVE seen ships wwith these sort a leg things before that let the trolls ridin em wwalk to across the wwater like its a massivve vversion a one a those pondwwalkin scumbugs the humans brought wwith em
CA: problem wwith those kinds a craft though is if you take a leg out the wwhole thing topples ovver an evveryones capsized an flounderin
CA: wwerent too popular for that reason but i saww em bein used occasionally by the more eccentric a flarpin teams
CA: you knoww im not one for fish puns myself but if you make em like that you should at least owwn it
CA: glad to hear that the others are finally startin to givve me the credit i deservve though rest a my caste can be a real tough crowwd so im pleased at the mention that theyre comin around
CA: nobody evver showws me the respect i deservve so its an appreciated change a pace if nothin else
CP: You are talked about in parties believe it or not. You are quite renowned in the Alternian violet blood party scene/ FLARP scene.
CP: Though I have heard of a rival to you, Someone with the name of Artyro? She seems to be a swordswoman who has been rumored to sack as many ships and culled as many lusuii as yourself
CP: Ever hear of her?
CA: wwait seriously i am
CA: im surprised i havvent been gettin any invvites then but maybe theyre just havvin trouble reachin me on account a the isolated status a my hivve
CA: this is real good newws though ill havve to look into it next time i hear about a big get together a felloww seadwwellers
CA: as for artyo i cant say i knoww much about em heard their name a feww times but personally i nevver got to knoww em since they wwerent in the same scene as i wwas
CA: havve trouble imaginin anyone wwho uses such a peasant wweapon as a swword wwould havve trouble replicatin my success though so thats probably wwhy i barely knoww em
CP: True, but some do love their pointies.
CP: So you live alone? That must be... Well no other way to put it... A tad bit boring and very lonely...
CA: wwell not evvery highblood wants a bunch a lowwcaste numpties trippin them up evverywwhere they go i got no problems wwith bein on my owwn
CA: besides if i evver wwant to go an see anyone i can just go out myself its not like im chained to my hivve or anythin
CA: bein out a the wway has actually wworked out in my favvor wwhat wwith how messy things havve been recently in the wwake a sgrub
CA: glad im not some rusty who got caught flatfooted in the middle a the carnage a those first feww months
CP: I'm fortunate, I was placed right in the middle of a highblood neighborhood.
CP: It was nice to share the beach with someone, you know?
CA: nyeh
CA: like i said i got my preference on the matter im not sayin i livve the hermits life or anythin all im sayin is that livvin on my owwn isnt makin me fall dowwn on my knees an start blubberin about howw miserable my existence is
CA: if i really wwanted to i could definitely start fillin out more space on this here island but for the time bein im perfectly content to havve the wwhole rocky swwath to myself
CP: Nice, that is a very respectable opinion. So... Have any treasures? That's a dumb question, you probably have coffers filled of gold
CA: a course i got treasures wwhat do you think anyone wwhos spent more then a swweep flarpin isnt stuffed to the gills wwith the stuff
CA: got more loot then i knoww wwhat to do wwith at this point ivve just started throwwin it wwherevver since i dont got any need to sell it an i dont got any use for it other then to look all nice an shiny
CA: really not all that useful or anythin since its not like cursed artifacts or so called magical items that i could potentially use are real but at least it adds some flavvor to the decor
CP: Fascinating.
CP: I know many trolls aren't into fashion but I heard violet bloods often are an exception to that rule.
CP: You own any good pieces like that?
CA: if by pieces youre tryin to say outfits then yes a course i got plenty a em
CA: ivve got a wwhole gogdamn room just for keepin all a my clothes together i got so many a em doubt ill evver wwear evverythin there but its good to havve plenty a options at your disposal
CA: speakin a wwhich i might havve to go an get changed back into somethin else if vvris decided to blip out a existence this costume looks good on me a course but its not exactly the most comfortable thing for wwalkin around the hive
CP: Oh, that sounds nice. One day I will have to see
