THERE ARE SOME ISSUES I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS.
TO EXPLORE, IF YOU WILL.
EVEN DISCUSS, WHILE WE'RE AT IT.
ALLOW ME TO PRESENT MY GRIEVANCES:
WHAT THE FUCK IS *WRONG* WITH YOU GUYS?
WHAT HAS EVEN BEEN *HAPPENING*?
ARE YOU ALL INSANE? YES, YOU ARE. YOU ARE INSANE. I AM SURROUNDED BY PSYCHOPATHS.
I NEED NEW FRIENDS.
YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S THE BEST IDEA I'VE EVER HAD.
FRIENDSHIP POSITIONS OPEN. REQUIREMENTS: NOT BEING A MURDER-HAPPY, REVENGE-OBSESSED PYSCHO WHOSE IDEA OF RESOLVING A SITUATION IS IN ACTUALITY MAKING EVERYTHING A SOLID BILLION TIMES WORSE.

The situation is already out of control. Any control we may have had over it is laying dead at our feet in a congealed puddle of its own vomit.

From what I could see, you seemed to be doing a decent enough job with Gamzee before... that

That's more than I can say for anybody else that's been through here.

AND YOU ABSOLUTELY DID EVERYTHING YOU COULD TO DISCOURAGE HIM, DIDN'T YOU.
YOU'RE ABSOLVED OF ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND WRONGDOING IN THIS SITUATION.
YOU'D NEVER LIFT A HAND TO EITHER OF THEM.
MUCH LESS A CHAINSAW.
AND IT'S CERTAINLY NOT LIKE YOU KNOW BETTER, WHICH AGAIN, COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR EITHER OF THEM.
IN CASE YOU'RE FORGETTING I'M THE ONE WHO WAS MURDERED.
YOU DON'T SEE ME CHARGING AROUND SCREAMING FOR BLOOD.
YOU'RE MAKING THE MISTAKE OF THINKING ERIDAN IS RATIONAL MINDED ENOUGH TO GIVE HALF A TURD ABOUT YOUR POINTS.
HE'S NOT.
HE'S A COMPLETE IDIOT WHO HAPPENS TO BE OVERPOWERED AND MURDEROUSLY INCLINED.
YOU'RE GOING TO END UP PUSHING US ALL INTO ENDLESS BLOODY, POINTLESS CIRCLES OF REVENGE AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO LET THAT HAPPEN.
THIS ISN'T ALTERNIA, KANAYA.
AND ALL OF YOU NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE IT IS.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT HERE. YOU'RE NOT FACING RETRIBUTION FROM JUST ERIDAN AMPORA IF YOU KEEP THIS UP.

I Want You To Consider That Suggestion You Just Typed For A Moment
If You Truly Believe It Could Even Be Imaginable That I Would Discourage Gamzee From Such A Route
Assuming That Is Even Possible
As For Eridan
Hes Been Doing This Unpunished For Too Long
I Can Only Tolerate For So Long When His Crimes Are Simply Ignored
Or Even Worse Rewarded
If Human Authorities Wont Demonstrate Consequences For It Well Someone Had To

OH MY *GOD*
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE.
THAT ISN'T A PUNISHMENT.
YOU WEREN'T DOING IT TO PUNISH HIM.
YOU WEREN'T DOING IT FOR ME.
YOU WEREN'T DOING IT BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP THE SITUATION.
YOU WERE DOING IT TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER.

ASL;'KSFL;KJSDF
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR MOTIVATIONS WERE.
WOULD YOU KINDLY FUCK OFF AND TAKE YOUR UNBEARABLE CREEPINESS WITH YOU.

That Isnt True
If This Were Only To Assuage My Own Feelings Then What Would Have Kept Me From Bringing This To Fruition At Any Moment In The Past Year
How Else Was I To Respond To This Anyway

[ he feels like such shit right now. why is he fighting with kanaya. everything is wrong in the world. ]

OH WELL GEE I DON'T KNOW
MAYBE IN A WAY THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE LASTING CONSEQUENCES?
MAYBE IN A WAY THAT WOULDN'T BRING AN INDETERMINABLE LANDSLIDE OF SHIT DOWN ON ALL OUR HEADS??????
GOD FORBID SOMEONE USE COMMON FUCKING SENSE AROUND HERE.

Before that is the key point here. That has already happened, and I don't even know what the consequences might end up being.

The Last Time I Left Him Breathing It Gave The Wrong Impression
I Could Perhaps Have Disarmed Him But Gamzee Would Have Finished The Job Anyway
He Serves As A Rather Visible Example Himself Of The Efficiency That Maneuver Has Granted Me In The Past
If Its A Lack Of Permanence That Really Bothers You Then I Intend To Monitor The Aftermath Closely To Determine If A Repetition Will Be Necessary

Mmm... Well, I suppose the first question is, when Eridan comes back, what do you want to happen to him?

[ oh no why would you ask him that question. that's the worst question.

he is silent for a good five minutes before answering. ]

I want him to pay.

[ because she is someone who GENUINELY LIKES ERIDAN
SOMEHOW, THESE PEOPLE EXIST. ]

But not with death. Then with what? Dismemberment? Imprisonment? Exile?

[ what could eridan pay with? there is literally no reason for karkat to want to have any mercy on him. he killed his friends. he killed karkat, left him to die a terrified, painful death all alone. he'd betrayed karkat and their friendship on every conceivable level.

if karkat were to answer completely honestly, his answer would be something like i want to make him feel as shitty as i do.

but... ]

I don't know. Okay? I don't know. Why do you care? What does this have to do with you, what business is any of this of yours? I don't even know you.

Because this isn't contained to just you and the other trolls. It's not even contained to you and the others from your universe. Most of you, you have friends and allies among people not from your universe. As partners in quadrants, or as pseudo-lusus parents, or just, well, friends. When you all fight against one another, it's not in a vacuum. It is a vacuum. It drags everyone else into it, too. And so the conflict and fighting, it just spreads. It keeps growing.

I may not care what happens to me, but I can't stand all this fighting. I'm sick of seeing the people important to me get hurt or killed because of this mess, just as much as as you are.

So maybe I want to help out the guy who might actually stand a chance of stabilizing things.

Is that business enough?

OH MY GOD PLEASE LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT HIS MORONIC BLACKROM ASPIRATIONS
I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN AN EARFUL OF THAT FROM HIM.
I'D RATHER NOT DELVE INTO THAT PARTICULAR SUBJECT.
I KNOW HE'S A DESPERATE SLICK OF NOOK GUNK, THAT'S PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
AND THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
I REITERATE, THIS ISN'T ALTERNIA.
YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND KILLING PEOPLE.
GAMZEE CAN'T EVEN SET FOOT IN THE CITY, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOURSELF?
FOR ALL OF US???? THINK OF HOW YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK AS A SPECIES.
AS FAR AS I'VE GATHERED IMPORTS AREN'T EXACTLY LOVED BY THE MASSES TO BEGIN WITH.
THIS PRACTICALLY DOESN'T EVEN CONCERN ERIDAN AT THIS POINT.
THERE'S A BIGGER PICTURE HERE.

Gamzees Distance Is Necessitated For Being A Very Indiscriminate Threat
This Isnt Like That I Have Been Particularly Focused In My Own Selection Of Targets Only Doing So When These Targets Need Be Selected
Uh
Well Usually
When I Am Allowed A Proprietary Command Of My Faculties

[So here is a giant list of all the traps that Gamzee's recently put into the house and kept up with. There are some hard to read instructions on how to avoid setting these things off - good God there's a tiny bit of acid in one of these traps.]

don't get your mess up on at one of these things.
THINK MY BRO WOULD BE REAL MOTHERFUCKIN UPSET IF YOU UP AND DIED AT THE HOUSE.

[WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.]

um...
thanks

just don't get to upsetting himself.

OH MY GOD.
IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK OF YOU TO KEEP YOUR FUCKING LIPSTICK CAPPED AND CHAINSAW CLEAN?
PLEASE.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS *ISN'T* OUR PLANET BEFORE YOU GET IT???
HUMANS DON'T CARE WHO DESERVES TO DIE AND WHO DOESN'T.
WHERE WAS TEREZI DURING ALL THIS, ANYWAY, WHAT WAS SHE DOING.
I WAS DEAD, WHAT'S HER EXCUSE FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.

[ ok

yeah.

there aren't many ways for him to argue with that and not come out of it as a filthy hypocrite. ]

Then you're talking to the wrong person. I'm not stabilizing anything, it's because of me that this clusterfuck started in the first place.

[ out-stubborning the resistant for the sake of moving the plot is one of her few unique skills. good luck, karkat. ]

Because of you, because you died?

I wouldn't have if I'd used my head and listened to the warnings I'd been having shoved down my auricular tracts for quite literally months on end. But, no, past Karkat has an undying penchant for making the worst possible decisions and inciting the worst possible outcomes in all timelines, in all realities.

Theyve Allowed Him Amnesty For His Crimes Committed In Their Domain Thus Far
For This Reason Im Not Terribly Inclined Give Their Methods Much Credence
But Dont Place The Blame On Her For This
I Didnt Consult With Her Prior To Committing Any Of This
She Was Entirely Unaware Of My Plans Until After They Had Been Fulfilled
Considering How Upset She Had Been By Your Death Im Uncertain Whether She Was Aware Of Much At All Really
