upcoming 4th wall @ gargleblasted

[ineuphony]

You're asking if I'm excited? Er... -- Excitement isn't exactly the word I'm looking for.

( a beat. )

More like terrified.

Comments

[heartandsoul]

Don't worry...it's only temporary.

[terraformagica]

Don't be terrified! It's an opportunity to make new friends... and maybe reconnect with some old ones?

[ineuphony]

Yeah, I know. But the last time it happened, I had a headache that lasted the entire day.

[ineuphony]

Old ones... ( ponders a little over that. ) -- I've gotta admit, I am a little curious about that.

[heartandsoul]

Oh, then...I suggest having ibuprofen on hand for when the headache starts. I...can try not to cause too much confusion if I visit.

[ineuphony]

I'll keep that in mind. And no, no -- you were fine the last time. It's the others I'm worried about.

[heartandsoul]

Others like--? Papa? Soul?

Or relatives of your boyfriend? That's what my mun is suggesting.

[ineuphony]

Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to see them again. Thrilled, actually. It's good to know they've been okay all this time. -- But you know how they get. Making assumptions left and right, getting carried away with things...

[heartandsoul]

Mm. It's okay, I know how you feel...well, besides the fact that we're the same person. It'd probably be better if no one from our world ever came to Vatheon again.

...I guess I'd rather Papa didn't meet some of my friends too. Like Karkat or Rin.

[ineuphony]

Oh, you know a Karkat too, huh? But Rin sounds unfamiliar.

[terraformagica]

Curious? How come?

[heartandsoul]

Rin is...he's...

[He's special, okay.]

He's a friend of mine.

[A beat.]

He has a tail.

[ineuphony]

A friend or a friend ?

[ineuphony]

Despite how annoying it can be, it's always interesting to see what kind of people arrive on the ship.

[nowspreadyourwings]

Either is acceptable!

[ineuphony]

You're... You're still around?!

[nowspreadyourwings]

Of course! I suppose you'll have some relief from missing me for a while.

[heartandsoul]

I-it's not like that!! It's what our muns are sure going for but, but it'd just be too much trouble for him!

[ineuphony]

Is that what you really think?

[ineuphony]

Too much trouble? How so?

[nowspreadyourwings]

Whenever I say something, it is what I think.

Unless I decide to lie!

[ineuphony]

And you know you're lying to yourself right now, right? In fact, I've completely forgotten about you until now.

[heartandsoul]

I guess I just...wouldn't be very good company with how I am now. Soul's right about me being a gloomy bookworm, it's only gotten worse.

1/3

[ineuphony]

...

[nowspreadyourwings]

[Oh. Ouch.

Seriously, that is like the most hurtful thing anyone could ever say to him, he is legit on the verge of killing something. Or crying.]

Impossible.
