[Karkat wakes up unable to shake the memory of his dream. He has nightmares regularly, a combination of sleeping without a recuperacoon and everything he's been through since he began playing Sgrub. But something about this one felt more real and vivid and awful, and he remembers it more clearly.

But he wakes ordinarily, only to watch the news and hear his own name, among others, listed. He remembers. She told him she would erase his existence, and he said yes. That memory combined with the news spooks him; Mayfield is clearly doing something, and he doesn't know what to think. So when the television shuts off, he'll go looking for his housemates to try to calm his nerves.]

[Phone, later]

All right, this is Karkat. No, guess what, this is actually Karkat. I'm here. You can choose to believe me or not.

Is anyone else who supposedly disappeared still here? Let's discuss this latest Mayfield fuckstorm like the rational conversationalists I know we all aren't.

And I especially need to talk to all of you. Now. Don't give me any shit about whether or not I'm the real Karkat. If you are here, answer me now.

I can't believe a single one of you complete drooling panrotted fucking assholes.

[Filtered to Signless.]

You.

((OOC: Karkat has been erased, so he will seem like a fakey fake doppleganger!))

Lying is very unbecoming.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I'm not lying.

But I don't care anymore, everyone hates me.

[Dolorosa > mother the imposter] Even imposters have people who like them, you're just pretending to be the wrong person, someone with many close friends who would be able to tell if you were lying.

Thanks for the advice. I'll go and be the best fake Karkat I can be, which is admittedly probably better than being a real Karkat is.

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

No child, you need to be the best you that you can be, leave being Karkat to Karkat.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay. I just don't know how to be the best at being a shitty thing everyone thinks is a fake freak and is slowly forgetting.

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

Be yourself, you cannot do that if you are pretending to be Karkat.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. I'll just do that then.

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

Good! I'm sure you will do well.
