[sniptuck]

[ NEW MONTH, NEW US. Are you attempting to figure out ways to solve Naoko and Jenn's respective problems? Helping to make the base island nice and fancy? Or any other type of shenanigan that isn't listed above because I don't know your life and am not privy to every single bad idea to come across the crew? Well, it's time to make all of that happen here!

Anyway have fun and use this for threading. Make sure to check out the November OOC post and there is also a CR meme up. THAT'S IT, HAPPY SCORPIO MONTH!!! ]

He says, diggin' in the crate for romcoms. What the heck did they even send?

[ he'll take a few of the discarded films out of karkat's clutches here. ]

[alienates]

Most of it is actually shit like food, which is helpful, I guess. There's a bunch of junk food so even though we may not starve, we will still be slowly sending ourselves to death anyway.

[ at least karkat assumes it's junk food. he made a point to specifically ask for junk food because so many crew members wanted it?? so.

also dave may notice that a lot of the movies seem to be pro-military... but for kids!! ]

Geez... fuck you, Kyle, you had one job.

[parodeity]

Did you actually ask the dude for specific movie genres you cared about?

[ he flips over one of the dvd cases to read the back. there's the barest downtick of the corner of his mouth, but what does that really mean.

although more importantly: ]

Wait where's the junk food?

[alienates]

I actually didn't even ask for any, they just sent them on their own?

[ in that case why are you even complaining about it, karkat?? anyway, karkat just points at some of the other crates as he continues to go through this useless (to him) pile of media. ]

I haven't fully inspected all of them yet though but most of this drop was mostly food. There's also tools I think? I asked for some so there better be.

[parodeity]

[ ABANDONS THE CRAPPY PROPOGANDA VIDS TO CHECK OUT THE SNACKS CRATE. ]

Not seein' tools but am seein' potato chips.

[alienates]

Wow, just what we need. More potatoes.

[ he sets aside whatever movie he has in his hand to go join dave at the snack pile. ]

You must be excited.

[parodeity]

Dirk probs will be. I don't know if he's had this shit, he generally hasn't had a lot of like, "processed" foods or whatever. Aside from orange soda, which is crap.

[ not that dave is anti potato chips? he likes potato chips. so. ]

Jesus, I don't actually know when the last time I had some of this shit was. Pre-meteor, at least.

[alienates]

As long as it's not Faygo it really cannot be that bad.

[ karkat never liked it even before gamzee went batshit but he will now be extremely biased against that shitty drink forever??

he reaches into the crate and pulls out... poptarts. ok. ]

What was your favorite shitty processed food?

[parodeity]

Apple juice.

[ THAT'S NOT A FOOD, DAVE. ]

[alienates]

You goddamn know that is not what I mean you douchebag.

[ WE ALL KNOW YOU LOVE APPLE JUICE DAVE SHUT UP ]

[parodeity]

Ok, fine. Motts Medley Assorted Fruit Snacks.

[ ... ]

Apple flavored.

[alienates]

[ karkat throws the box of poptarts at dave's face

fuck u dave ]

[parodeity]

[ dave catches the box with a laugh and like, examines the flavor. ]

Coulda just offered, dude. Oh, poptarts. Sweet.

[alienates]

[ they are blueberry and karkat just scowls ]

God I hate you, asshole.

[parodeity]

Yeah, yeah. Do you want a poptart or not? Man I don't think I ever had blueberry? I've had like, chocolate ones before. And cherry. Those are the best flavors?

[ dave what are the odds karkat cares about this ]

But if we're talkin' vending machine food which we totally are, candy bars or like, chips are the supreme option.

[alienates]

[ the odds are zero. he does not care? he is still going to stick his hand out for a poptart since he is curious but that doesn't raise his care levels. ]

I'm surprised you haven't had Dirk build one of those yet.

[parodeity]

We technically kinda have one it's just mostly weird crap.

[ dave opens the box and hands a packet over, although he proceeds to put the box in his sylladex after. apparently he doesn't plan to eat one right now? ]

And he has, like, other projects atm.

[alienates]

I refuse to go near that tree thing? It's shady as fuck.

[ also everything that comes out of it is, like dave said, weird?? ]

And how many of those projects were your idea?

[parodeity]

A few. But he's got his own shit going, too. I think he's still making security drones?

[ which. whatever. it's not killer robots so dave won't bother to intervene. ]

[alienates]

I think he can probably calm the fuck down with those. We definitely have more than enough at this rate.

[ not that karkat actually cares... although he probably should start caring? since he and dirk are supposedly friends now. which is weird. ]

[parodeity]

Yeah maybe but I don't think he'll stop until whoever asked him to make them says something.

[ or someone else. but dave clearly doesn't care enough? ]

Anyway, I mostly came over to see what you were up to. I've gotta jet soon to meet up with Rose for the continuing saga of "where the fuck is this fucking ship", don't even know what blockbuster number we're up to at this point.

[alienates]

Maybe whoever the fuck it is is running away from you guys. I know I'd be turning around if I saw two weirdos flying around in ugly pajamas.

[ he frowns though, but also he is usually always frowning anyway so. it's probably nothing. ]

[parodeity]

What, do you have some idea about who we're chasin'? 'Cause we're still stuck on "okay Rose which way should we go"ville.

[ their daily outings so far have mostly ended up being aimless picnics. ]

[alienates]

Ah, yes. Of course I know who it is and I am just keeping the information away from you because I love to watch you waste your time.

[ he finally rips open the poptart bag? thing? the thing the poptart is in shit i can't remember the name ]

Did you figure out anything at all?

[parodeity]

[ foil package? idk ]

Not yet. We're workin' on it. [ and presumably bantering or bickering the entire time. or whatever it is the strilonde sibs do when left to their own dubious devices. ] After that it'll probably be time to drag Dirk on some other shit and then maybe time to talk to other people. We'll see. Your plans for the rest of the day include going through the rest of this shit, I assume?
