August Pre-Hurricane Post | Open Mingle

[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!]

Huh? How so? Was he acting really mean?

[alienates]

No! He was acting really goddamn nice. It was so freaky? I thought he was possessed.

[imsorey]

[hmm]

[hmmmmm]

Is he...not always nice?

[Isn't Loki always nice????]

[alienates]

[ karkat is just going to pull this image from this communicator. ]

He spent weeks just leaving dummies of this monstrosity lying around the base for me to find.

[imsorey]

[don't laugh don't laugh don't--no okay he's laughing]

What the heck is that thing?

[alienates]

I don't know! But he set it up literally everywhere I went! I opened a shower stall once and it was there. How the fuck did he know which stall I was going to use?

[imsorey]

Maybe you're really predictable? Or he has excellent powers of deduction.

[He's missing the point but he can't get over that thing.]

[alienates]

[ WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE SPOODERMAN SERIOUSLY KARKAT HATES IT SO MUCH!! ]

Whatever it is, it's annoying as fuck and I want to throw every one I find into the volcano.

[imsorey]

Okay, okay, so that wasn't very nice of him. Maybe he realized that and being nice was his way of apologizing.

[alienates]

I don't know... Something still seems off...

[ but maybe sorey is right and loki just realized the errors of his ways? ]

[imsorey]

[It's the only explanation. Loki is a Good Person.]

Want me to ask him later? The only way to know for sure is to actually ask.

[alienates]

If you want? He might actually tell someone who's not me, I guess. It's kind of freaky.

[ like.... karkat is not used to sudden mood changes re: other people's attitudes towards him? especially mid-conversation? shit was weird. ]

[imsorey]

[Sorey is beginning to suspect that maybe Loki is just teasing Karkat. Maybe.]

I'll make sure to let you know what he says. But anyways, you were going to show me your research, right?

[alienates]

Oh right, I almost forgot.

[ a laptop pops out of karkat's sylladex, which basically looks like it just appeared out of thin air. he goes to set it down on a table. ]

Pay very close attention.

[imsorey]

[The sylladex is something he'd getting more familiar with, so it isn't a shock, but his eyes still light up when things appear out of thin air. He scoots over closer to the table so that he can get a better look at the screen, READY AND EAGER TO LEARN]

Yes, sir!

[alienates]

Okay so the first thing we are going to view is a favorite of mine called Easy A. Human Emma Stone is a gift, so you should appreciate the work she puts into this. It'll give you a good view of how complicated the emotion known as love can be.

[imsorey]

She must be a great actress if she's that well-known. Does she do a lot of performances--or, uh, movies?
