[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.

No seriously who cares what your past self did.

Hell, he might not even have been you, could have been some bizarre alternate self. Investigating this kind of shit is pointless.

See, this is the difference between us. You can go ahead and prance around in your own personal timeline ballet, doing whatever particular dance number your asshole future self decided your asshole past self should do.

Meanwhile, I'll be over here not letting my other selves run the show and instead endeavoring the be the superior version. And this particular version would like to know what kind of fuck ups the previous version made that went ahead and got him pan scrubbed or scattering lobsters to sea or whatever the fuck and avoid it.

You mean you spend all your time worrying about useless stuff that doesn't matter and I don't. Whatever your past self did, there's nothing you can do about it now... even if you could go around dancing the temporal tango like me.

Everything just comes together, that's how it works. If you've got any confidence in yourself you should trust that your past self wouldn't fuck anything up since... uh, he's you, dude. If you can't even faith in yourself who the fuck can you believe in?

Okay, I'm not having this conversation with you. This is not a conversation that is happening. Just because you're too much of a drooling void of capacity for intelligent thought to see your own role in littering the timeline with your steaming turds of festering failure doesn't mean your little life lessons apply to me.

This is like trying to make a blind man see. It's just not happening I guess. Whatever dude, but at the end this entire little excursion in your sordid past isn't going to do you any good. Calling it now.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Right, and this is the part where I say "You're wrong, you'll see!"

Oh wait, no, I don't give a shit.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Still waiting for you to say it anyway.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Then I hope you've regained the ability to skip ahead, because you'll be waiting a long fucking time.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Sorry, was busy jumping into the future a bit to hear you say it. I'm back now though what'd I miss.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I'll make a mental note to never say that just so I can doom your timeline.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Say what? Got busy doing other shit so I forgot what this entire conversation was even about.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Wow, lucky you! It was about some bullshit advice from some worthless toolcase.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Oh gotcha.

No its cool dude I don't need any advice from you but thanks for offering.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

My absurdity palate is just going wild with your clever and entirely unanticipated response.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Sorry am I keeping things too spontaneous for you. I'll slow it down a notch s o y o u c a n k e e p u p.
