APPARENTLY I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH YOU RIGHT NOW,
BUT THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, IS IT?
YOU WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL YOU'VE MONOPOLIZED EVERY MICROSECOND OF MY LIFE WITH YOUR ASININE COMMENTS AND PETTY AWFUL PERSONAL PROBLEMS.
WELL, FINE.
PLEASE PROCEED IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER TO EXPECTORATE YOUR PROBLEMS ALL OVER MY WAITING ENGORGED PATIENCE NODES.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?

He'll come back, right? They always do?

Not that I care, I am officially over caring about Sollux managing to kill himself every time he leaves his respite block and then instantly coming back to life, it is so old and I am not going to expend any more energy thinking about it, it would be more worthwhile to mourn a stale piece of grubloaf.

Is there any, like, side affect or anything?

[speakveryclearly]

No. Nothing but having to wait for them to come back. Which they always do.

Everyone who has ever died at any point in time who later came into contact with the Initiative is entirely alive and well. You wouldn't know it to hear them talk, but they are.

[crusthatecean]

I have to watch these assholes every goddamn second.

[KARKAT... might not want to phrase it that way haha...]

You're preaching to the proverbial choir.

[crusthatecean]

I used to think it was my job to be in charge of everyone, but where I'm from I've recently given up on that. My reign of leadership was an unmitigated disaster, I'm fine with admitting to it.

Only now I remember why I felt I had to run everything in the first place, no one else can do anything!

[speakveryclearly]

But that was in the alpha timeline. Which, in all honesty, has about the same effect on my opinion of anyone on our team as an old season of All My Descendants.

Considering what passes for leadership on Earth, I have absolutely no doubts in yours.

[crusthatecean]

No, you can't repudiate the alpha timeline, that isn't happening here. It's all of you who are weird and fucked up.

[speakveryclearly]

You haven't done - or for that matter failed to do - anything I'm aware of that reduces my trust in you and your leadership.

[crusthatecean]

It happened. You can't just refuse to acknowledge any of it.

Guess what, you are probably the last person who should hate the alpha timeline, you're the only one here who didn't massively screw the barkbeast.

[She is thinking about Eridan to a preposterous extent right now and is trying very hard not to because Karkat can't know, but this is apparently going to have to go as far as not regretting what she did what she did what she did, a distinct and mysterious she with motives she still doesn't actually know about and has had to half-heartedly substitute with circumstantial ones that make her feel, by proxy, guilty.

Man if she knew about the matriorb right now... she would hate the alpha more than ever actually, like wow, Karkat would be getting ripped two or three new ones.]

The alpha timeline has literally, not figuratively, caused nothing but pain and suffering for my friends and myself, though as a person and not a participant. So I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you slightly on that.

[crusthatecean]

I know it has.

But that isn't your fault.
