[It's the calm before the storm—or at least the not-quite-so-bad-weather before the storm. The winds are starting to pick up, the ocean is rolling, and all manner of sea creature is heading for cover to ride things out.

But at the base, there's still lots to do as usual. Whether it's getting ready to hunker down, goofing off, or making friends, there's never a dull moment under the sea! Have at it, and remember to check out the OOC planning/mission signups to see what's going on!]

[ why is chara sassing at him? as karkat is older and thus, more mature than them, he obviously pays no mind to this teasing. and by pays no mind, i mean he pays all the fucking mind.

this miniature matthew gray gubler is going down?? ]

My quadrants are filled just enough, thank you very fucking much. I can multitask.

[smileyfaced]

Sure.

[You are getting the full sass treatment, Karkat! Chara puts their hands on their hips and leans in, the shit-eating grin still plastered all over their face.]

You wrote an entire essay on how to romance your species. You're thirsty.

[alienates]

[ honestly he has definitely written multiple essays but no one needs to know that. ]

My thirst is at a respectable level. What do you even know? You're like, what, five sweeps old? Maybe six? My relationship, that is still none of your business, is something that you probably won't even understand.

[smileyfaced]

[Never let Chara discover this.]

Sweeps? What sort of ridiculous chronological system is that?

[Anyway...!]

I've read through your rambling essay well. But I didn't think you elaborated on "sad and unfilled" well enough, despite it being applicable to you.

[alienates]

It makes a lot more sense then this "year" nonsense you're alls o married to.

[ karkat is mad because he has started to refer things as years now too?? ugh. ]

Fuck off, you undersized oompa loompa. There is literally nothing about me that is sad or unfilled.

[smileyfaced]

I'm closer to a Fun Dip, thanks. I can see you're just a mad pair of sentient candy corn.

[alienates]

Ha ha, insulting the horns, as if that's never been done before! You sure are clever. I have been so wounded by your words, tiny Earth child.

[ you dick. ]

[smileyfaced]

[Chara will happily claim the title of dick, tbh]

I bet I could do a better job at "filling my quadrants."

[alienates]

You literally just found out what the fuck a quadrant is like five minutes ago, I am calling complete and utter bullshit on that. I will eat a sock if you manage to even fill one.

[smileyfaced]

[Chara sticks out their hand.]

Would you like to bet on it?

[alienates]

[ fuck

karkat can't so no to bets??? he (begrudgingly) shakes their hand. ]

Fine.

[smileyfaced]

Excellent.

[Chara's shake is firm.]

If I win, you'll have to eat your sock and you'll let me watch.

[alienates]

And what the fuck do I get when I win?

[smileyfaced]

I'll say a message of your choice over the network. It can be as disparaging as you like.

[alienates]

[ he considers....... ]

Alright, fine. I accept this terms. I hope you're ready to make a fool of yourself.

[smileyfaced]

[Chara snickers.]

And I'm looking forward to seeing you eat your words. And your sock.
