I don't remember where all of the new arrivals live yet, so if you are a human, show some common courtesy and don't respond because this doesn't concern you. Except Jade and Egbert and friends in a tangential way, I fucking guess. The point is, I don't need anyone wasting my time here, this is important and also only directed at members of my own species who know who they are.

Judging from the strange activity I saw earlier, the town is entering another one of its phases where it becomes suddenly and inexplicably dangerous. The ugly decaying humans shambling about the blocks will attempt to attack and should not be approached.

Considering the danger and how goddamn many of you are scattered around the town, I'm calling for a roll call now. If I haven't had audio hook contact from all of you in the next hour, I am going shithive on your expression palates with the business end of my hate sickle, so get to it. That's, if I'm recalling correctly, Sollux, Kanaya, Gamzee, Nepeta, Equius, Terezi, Feferi, Eridan, and Vriska I need to hear from right away.

Everyone needs to stick together and no one is to go wandering off on their own or even more moronically, fighting these town entities on their own. My hive here, which can be found at 1338 Benny Road, can be used as a secure place to gather ourselves, but if you are far away and unsure if you can make it by yourself, let me know. Whatever you choose to do, we will be initiating the partner system. This is not optional. After you've contacted me, if you're by yourself, I will be assigning you a partner nearby. No fucking complaining about who you're assigned, I don't want to hear it.

Gamzee, Jade, stay where you are, secure the exits, and take stock of our food supplies. I'll be there soon.

((OOC: Feel free to reply even if he said this message doesn't apply to you and don't reply; that's what I'm expecting.

I will also be putting up a log soon for 1338 Benny Road; if you'd like your character to hide out there for the event, let me know! Karkat will probably only be allowing castmates and very close CR to stay, unfortunately, because that's the kind of asshole he is.

Edit: log is up!))

It might concern you, but that doesn't mean I choose to include you as a part of our team discussions.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I won't keep you either way, as there is someone else in this residence that is more directly targeted to your call.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh? For once you're going to decide not to be a pain in the ass?

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

I'm only as much of a pain as you believe me to be.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Then you're even more of a pain than I believed possible.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Haa Haa. Funny.

I would wish you good luck, but this isn't much of a game of chance or a gamble. However, if I may make a suggestion: aim for the head. And don't turn your back on the bodies, like the last time.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Not taking any bets on whether this particular advice will be actually useful to me.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Don't take bets - our conversation isn't a game either. Nor am I a gambling man. My advice is always useful. You must find use in it first.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks.

Well, good luck not dying, is what I would say if I cared about that. You must find me giving a shit first.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Hee Hee.

You're betraying yourself again.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not.

When have I ever pretended I don't care whether they die? I'm their fucking leader, it's my job to care about that.

But no, I do not care what happens to you, and there's no hidden message to be deciphered in that sentiment.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Not pretend. Rather, deny. Or act aggressive to conceal how much you truly care.

Well, this is all circumstantial. You don't need to care about me when I can take care of myself. Remember not to let the infected live. You could be next if you do.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't deny anything. I act how I act because it's how I fucking am.

And is that your advice in any situation? Oh, things are getting ugly, so just kill your friends?

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Of course it is not. I am only being honest with you, Knight. You could cause others to be infected and that won't be pleasant for anyone involved.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Every time we have a conversation, you tell me to kill someone because it's practical.

At a certain point, I have to think you just want me to kill someone.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Not at all. Fact is, I know you will never kill anyone. Not even the most dangerous of your team members. You care - more than anyone of your species should frankly. I simply give advice. You are never obliged to follow it and I never expect anything from it.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Ouch, Scratch just hit a nerve. He knows there's a real danger of his teammates once again becoming a threat to others, and he'd like to believe he'd be willing to do what it took to stop that.

In the culture he was raised in, unwillingness to kill only means one thing--weakness. And he knows he's weak. He's always known that for all his bluster, and all his attempts to be a leader, he is just so weak.]

You don't know what you're talking about.

I mean, if you get off on calling me and lecturing at me about what my own personality is like and what things I would or would not be willing to do, that's fine. But keep in mind that you know fuck all about me.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

I know I do.

I know everything about you. And even more than that. As First Guardian of Alternia, I am perfectly in my right to state it.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

You can think that, but you fucking don't.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Hoo Hoo.

I think I'll leave this here. She'll want the phone soon, I'm sure. Remember to aim for the head.

[He'll hang up right there. No point to prolong a conversation that seems to be heading for a circle.]</small
