DECEMBER 2ND, birthday armageddon action mingle

[parodeity]

So, anyone in the entertainment room area come December 2nd will be subjected to a ridiculous clash of colors and decorations. While the only advertisement was word-of-mouth, it's a six-way birthday party although none of the guests of honor seem to care if people actually celebrate their birthdays; it's possible to just come by for cake and/or random hangouts. The room seems to be divvied up into six pie slices with decorations, with a table in the middle with six cakes. The slices are kind of variable but easy enough to match up to their respective "owner": Jade's is neon green paired with white decoration-wise and seems to mostly be dog themed, although there's also more glitter in her slice than anywhere else; Jake's is less neon green paired with black and the collective Dave-and-Rose decoration committee apparently decided skulls was as good a theme as anything; Dave's is red and black and records although also just really dumb sbahj drawings which tbh have infected the other slices aside from Rose's; Dirk's is orange-and-white and robots; Rose's is purple-and-black and wizards and octopi; Roxy's is pink-and-white and cats and wizards. None of the decorations really seem intended to mesh with any other slices' decorations at all?

The cakes are equally mismatched, although some of them work together. Jade got a Bec-head shaped cake; Jake got another...skull...THEY TRIED, OKAY JAKE; Dave elected himself for hella jeff; Dirk got assigned sweet bro because Rose couldn't convince Dave to Not; Rose herself got a very disturbing octopus tentacle thing, what the fuck Rose; and Roxy got a cat.

There are like six pinatas in various colors and some party games and a movie marathon that seems to have literally no theme beyond being chosen by Dave and Rose and therefore the theme might actually be "what movie will annoy my sibling most" back and forth. So there's. Just a super variety of stuff there. And there's music which Dave seems to have been in control of, although most of it is lowkey so that's nice???

Sorry if you wanted to do something in this room related to not this hot mess today, BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT DOING SIX SEPARATE PARTIES??? Also there are party hats in the colors of each slice (with a dumb paper crown in slice colors for each birthday kid) so pick your poison. There's a generic and very messy "HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY" banner so apparently it's just. 6 17s? Nice.

Because I am aware of everyone's terrible, teeth grinding traits while the rest of you are unaware? And so when it suddenly hits you that someone is awful I can be like, "Ha! I figured that out a long time ago."

[ this isn't a helpful skill set. ]

[parodeity]

Ok, so what secret teeth grinding traits do all of us have? Spill.

[ this is not a helpful question, either ]

[alienates]

You're being way too vague here, Strider, there's like fifty of you.

[ tell him who to insult?? ]

[parodeity]

Me, Dirk, Rose, etc. Us us.

[ or just whoever he guesses ]

[alienates]

The most annoying thing you do is when you keep having conversations with yourself but you're actually talking to one of us, even though we're not actually apart of the conversation? And then later on you bring up that conversation and are shocked and offended when we have no idea what the ever loving fuck you're talking about since you were, once again, just talking to yourself.

[ he came up with that one real quick but seriously MAYBE STOP RAMBLING TO YOURSELF WHEN THE OTHER PERSON IS OCCUPIED ELSEWHERE? ]

[parodeity]

[ karkat knows this will never happen dave cannot help talking to himself ]

You could pay attention while I talk to myself in your vicinity? Also that was just one person off the list.

[alienates]

Dave I already pay more attention to you than I do most people but sometimes you just, you know. Keep saying things.

[ dave do you ever listen to yourself talk NO. NO YOU DON'T. ]

Dirk actually shares Rose's bad habit of talking to you like a fucking therapist at all times, even when the conversation does not need that kind of language. "Well, Vantas, how do you feel about the reproduction cycle of lizard horses?" I don't fucking care, Dirk!

[ which also implies that's also what he finds annoying about rose. ]

[parodeity]

Wait, he's asking you how you feel about things? Like, what things? Does he do this to everyone.

[ goddamnit dirk ]

[alienates]

I don't know, I don't go around eavesdropping on his conversations with everyone.

[ that would be creepy, dirk isn't on karkat's stalk list. ]

He's just very psychoanalyze-y!

[parodeity]

Well, where did you think Rose got it from?

[ he is one of their genetic bases? ]

[alienates]

Yeah but he also got that from her. I hate ectobiology, jegus fuck.

[ the worst science of all time!!!! ]

[parodeity]

Eh, it ain't all bad. At least we got to see you freak out about it like twenty million times.

[alienates]

[ he is going to attempt to flick dave in the nose because fuck you ]

[parodeity]

[ dave just lets it happen, laughing. so. congrats? he definitely could have dodged that, but. ]

[alienates]

[ whatever it makes him feel better!!! ]

The whole process is gross. Also I hate you.

[parodeity]

Sure you do. Did you have cake yet btw?

[ that is probably less gross than ectobiology, although maybe bringing it up straight after that doesn't. make it less gross. WHATEVER ]

[alienates]

I hate you so much. [ karkat says again, while wearing dave's color party hat because obviously there is so much hatred here?? ]

And no not yet.

[parodeity]

Ok, why don't we get you some cake and somethin' non-soda to drink if you still have a soda embargo or whatever, and you can continue listing off things that annoy you about people?

[ while dave eats cake and also listens/commentates ]

[alienates]

[ this is a good conversation topic that karkat totally supports and can get behind? he wishes every day he can just list off things that annoys him

actually no that is every day, he does it regardless if people invite him to do it or not. ]

Wow, Strider. You sure know how to woo someone.

[parodeity]

Shockingly enough I did learn your idea of a good date in the past few years, and complainin' about people always ranks pretty high on the list.

[ he is mostly teasing

mostly ]

[alienates]

There are other things that rank higher!

[ please change the topic fast because this will be the stupidest argument of the last five minutes. ]

[parodeity]

Like dissin' faygo?

[ no?????????? he's gonna keep it ]

[alienates]

I don't even think that should count since anyone with even half a grain of intelligence would diss faygo. it is literally, in the most literal sense of the word "literally," the worst dream of all time and space.

[ karkat hated it even before gamzee went crazy ]

[parodeity]

Movies basically count as letting you complain about shit?

drink* not dream wtf self

[alienates]

You fall asleep for most of them so that barely counts!

[ how do you even know he's complaining, dave!! you're napping! ]
