This is your call back. What is this serious question you're going to be laying at my feet.

Am I a hypocritical dick?

What? Why?

I may or may not have had a rather taxing conversation where the person I may or may not have been talking to brought that up as a point against my character.

In the past? Yeah, you had some moments where you flossed with your shoelaces. But I think that's a fact of life. Everyone has those moments where they leap first, ask questions later. We were utterly embarrassing as thirteen year old idiots, but now?

It's not the same deal. Because we've learned from a lot of the shit we did. It's behind us.

[ it still bothers him. a little. it had been Eridan that said that so Karkat really should know better. ]

I don't know if we've really learned that much.

The session pretty much kicked us down repeatedly, dude. It was learn or fry, so the ones who would learn would continue on. I didn't say we learned a ton, obviously we still got some growing to do. But we learned enough to see what we did wrong before.

And naturally, what we did right. It's not as complicated as it seems. It's all kinda easy.

You mean what you guys did right. Honestly, Dave, the only reason any of us are alive right now is because you guys didn't royally fuck your session over. Not really, anyway.

I think you're forgetting that for our session to exist, you had to create our universe.

Which we colossally fucked up. Or, rather, I fucked up by not letting Kanaya have more time. We gave you lemons, Dave. You guys made lemonade out of them.

Meanwhile I'm going to sit here and smack myself for even considering that Eridan's words might have an iota of truth to them.

We talked about this. You pointed out the game pretty much locks you into a specific outcome and doesn't accept any other. Our failures were laced together to form one wide lame web of shit and why would you listen to Eridan telling you anything.

Because we sort of got into it, I guess. Big surprise, I know.

Dude, he gets into it with everyone. He was hateflirting with Bro like twice?? I don't even remember how many times he pawed at his pants like some desperate housewife.

If I could count the times that he's flirted with me or anyone else, I'd have to count every digit on my person and every single one of my beasts' as well. Honestly I'm not sure how he doesn't sprain his wrist, as that's the only sort of action he'll ever receive at this rate.

The brinesucker is still my friend. Was my friend?

[ yeah. not even sure here. ]

Maybe I should just give up on that. It's a pretty good lost cause at this point.

It's up to you what you do about that. Yeah, the dude is constantly black flirting or something with everyone. It makes a human uncomfortable but, that's another story. What was his insult in reference to anyway?

I basically told him off for continuously riding his high skyhorse. Like he'd never make any friends - like he oh so desperately wants - if he keeps thinking that he is above them.

It's pretty true. If you act like you're above the crowd, they won't want anything to do with you.

Exactly. But yeah, well. Trying to explain that didn't exactly end in my favor, clearly. The moron just has his horns lodged up his waste chute so far that they're starting to tickle his grey matter.

I told you. Sometimes there's only so much you can do for someone before you have to step back. Still stands.

Yes, yes. You were right, oh great one, and I, the meager little worm, continues to be in the wrong.

I still say it fucking sucks to just sit back and let stuff like that take their course. Especially when that course is just a spiraling downward slope of fucking misery.

Well, let's take a different angle here. What do you want to happen, or to do?

For who?

For this situation and your friendship with Eridan. Stay with me here. I know I move like lightning but you can keep pace with me.

Augh. You're such a nook sniffing asshole, you know that?

Of course I'd still like to be friends with the ankle-biting barnacle head. Like I really need more of a disconnect with the shithive maggots friends that I've had since, well, before I can remember. Since I still think of him as a friend ( mostly! ) and I don't know, Dave. It'd just be nice if, for once, someone took my lectures seriously without stirring up so much shit about it.

You tried telling him all this? Actually, that's a bad idea. There's a lot to this I don't really understand. Because my culture and your culture don't really mix. I think you need to give this one a little time. Don't give up, but see what develops for a few weeks.
