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.

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.

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

[moremischievous]

That just means it's versatile!
