[ karkat actually almost bursts out laughing at that description of dirk but he manages to control it. he isn't sure if he should tell rin that dirk looks like that even when he isn't sick but. nah.

also the thing is... karkat 100% agrees with absolutely everything rin is saying. he just refuses to take up anything resembling a leadership role since he's convinced he will Fuck It All Up. but there is a small problem with rin's plan. ]

You are underestimating how obnoxiously stubborn a lot of the infected crew members are. Just getting some of them to even admit that they're sick took a few days. [ once again: dirk. ] Honestly the hurricane is what really fucked us over. We probably could have had everything fixed by now if we were able to actually go outside and get more supplies.
