Re-picking an old muse.

[lighted]

Look, I know it's been a long time since we've been in this together, but you and I both know it'll be good for you. You always feel better when you get a change of pace, and I'm the opposite of Karkat, so this should go well!

Me? Well, of course I'm a little nervous. It's been so long... But I know we can do this.

I'm ready, mun.

Positive?

[lighted]

Absolutely!

[curepotion]

I guess I'll just have to tell that Riku that trouble's incoming.

[lighted]

Ah--Hey! Wow, way to be rude!

[curepotion]

Like you wouldn't do the same!

[lighted]

Well, of course I would! But you're nothing but trouble.

[curepotion]

Wh--!

Hey! You and Sora're the lazy ones.

[lighted]

Not even close! Well, Sora, maybe, but I work hard! Someone's gotta keep an eye on you two!

[curepotion]

I keep myself out of trouble.

[darkbreak]

Great, just what I need.

More trouble.

[curepotion]

Yeah, good luck with the two kids my mun already has you adopting.

[darkbreak]

I thought one of them was 900 years old, and you're calling him a kid?

[...He's going to get grey hairs before he's 20 isn't he-- OH WAIT.]

[curepotion]

You've met him.

Doesn't he act like a kid?

[moremischievous]

Do these kind of pep talks seriously work with your mun?

[lighted]

Of course they do! Positive reinforcement is important! Especially since I'll be sharing the limelight with someone who does nothing but shout bad words at everyone.

[moremischievous]

You have a much higher opinion of your mun than I have of mine. A few bad words would probably work wonders.

[lighted]

Not when it's all she hears! You have to switch it up sometimes if you want results.

[moremischievous]

Oh, I get it. While you take the "nice" route, that Karkat person does the opposite.

[lighted]

Pretty much! That way, she has me to turn to when things get too pressured, and Karkat to go to when she needs a little push!

[moremischievous]

[Excuse him while he smiiiirks.]

That can be a very effective tactic.

[lighted]

... Something tells me we have different intentions for using this system.

[darkbreak]

Well, they say opposites attract right? At the very least you'll be a break for her. I heard that other guy's pretty high maintenance.

[lighted]

He can be! He's a good person at heart, but my mun needs some variety in her life.

[waypastcool]

With an attitude like that, I'm sure you'll be a-okay. Don't sweat it!

[lighted]

I'll do my best! I just hope it works out. In any case, I'll get to see my friends again!
