[So, Karkat has been here a few weeks now, experienced his first event, figured out his way around. He's gotten his first regain, which has put him back in his troll body. But he's still not sure exactly what's going on, and he's aware of that to realize that he probably alienated everyone who could tell him.]

...Okay. It's me again, the raging fuckass who accused you all of bringing me here. It's possible that was a hasty conclusion.

Anyway, I know some of you knew the previous me who was here. Normally I try to avoid this kind of thing, but it's starting to get inconvenient, so...I want details. What he did, how he knew you, that kind of shit.

So...let's hear it. If you're willing to help me out, at least. Spare no gory details, I'm used to it.

Oh, well, you'll be glad to know almost all of you are dead, and there's pretty much no way the remaining humans will ever manage to figure out how to repopulate the species.

Anyway, I take no offense. If anything, it's admirable to recognize your species' failings, and I used to feel the same way you do. Human culture is pretty different and sometimes pretty fucking retarded, which makes it really easy to make a mess of things.

Oh. [she hasn't seen the outside world in years; that's surprisingly not so impossible an idea to her.] Well, people are pretty stupid, so.

[a pause.] So it's retarded, but compared to what? How do you guys live?

Okay, so giving you an entire summary of my planet's history and culture is just not what I'm prepared to do with my time right now. But I never said we weren't retarded. We're plenty retarded, maybe even more than humans.

Anyway, my planet's gone now, too, so who gives a fuck?

[deflowers.livejournal.com]

Wow. You're not very good at this all-powerful being thing, are ya?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Who said I'm all powerful? If I was all powerful, this situation I'm in would only be mildly impossible to overcome.

[deflowers.livejournal.com]

Right. Your powers are gone and shit like everyone else's I guess?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true.

[deflowers.livejournal.com]

...So no lightning bolts?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Nope.

...Not yet, at least. You never know, though. One of these days maybe I'll be unleashing my almighty fury on this town. Lightning bolts are kind of asinine, though. I'm more the type of almighty being to unleash floods of putrescent shit maggots to best represent my omnipotent rage.
