[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!]

Oh, sweetie, love isn't textbook! It's magic! It's sudden! It's FUN and BEAUTIFUL! You can't explain it all away!

[ People who didn't read or give a shit about Karkat's hard work: right here. ]

[ it took a very long time to type all of that mettaton.......... ]

Yes I can. I literally just explained it all, right here, in this memo. This is almost a thousand words of what love is.

[ Nobody said he needed to, but hey - gold star for effort, champ! ]

It doesn't need all those words! It's a FEELING!

[ Mettaton clutches his chest dramatically, then on second thought, clutches his heart-shaped, glowing pink core in his midsection instead. More apt. ]

[ wow mettaton is a drama queen, thinks karkat, who is also a drama queen. ]

And you use words to describe feelings! How the fuck else would anyone know what you're talking about?

[showybusiness]

You feel things with your heart! And song. Mostly song. A long rant on paper is not love! It's an essay and essays are no good for such raw, passionate EMOTION!

[alienates]

Well, maybe your problem is that you're shit at writing essays? And anyway, isn't a song just also words too? How the fuck is that any better than an essay?

[showybusiness]

Because it's art, and not a bunch of dull words! Please. You've clearly never heard me perform, you poor deprived person.

[alienates]

Why would I want to hear you perform?

[ it's said pretty bluntly. ]

[showybusiness]

Because I'm the best at it! It's what I do! Not big on having fun, are we?
