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.

[exceptfebruary]

Have I done something to earn your ire?




I only have the best of intentions.

LMAO

[crab]

NO.
NOTHING AT ALL.
CERTAINLY NOT UNWARRANTED BODY SNATCHING AND PUBLIC BROADCAST OF CADAVERS.

AWKWARD...

[ Oh. He actually checked the Network on his return. This will make things complicated. ]

I returned your body to your friends.

I apologize for the Network Post. It was a mistake.

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

[exceptfebruary]

I can make it up to you.

[crab]

YES
YOU CAN
YOU CAN MAKE IT UP TO ME.
YOU CAN DO THIS BY IMMEDIATELY VACATING THE PREMISES OF MY LIFE.
PERMANENTLY.

[ There's a bit of a delay while he considers it. Ultimately, while the colour of Karkat's blood was frustrating, he was still a troll and still the Cancer, for all appearances. Julian doesn't fully understand the implications of what he did, he was so caught up in his curiosity, and that same curiosity means he won't give up.

I can help you stop the killing.

I INSTANTLY BELIEVE YOU AND TRUST YOU COMPLETELY.

Three trolls have all died here at least once to my knowledge. Eridan has not yet come back.

Spring turns to summer, which turns into fall and then winter, before becoming spring again. The world works in cycles. Time turns and repeats itself. Here death is not the end, merely a part of a cycle. So it continues. The others will continue killing each other. It is how it was before you arrived, and during your brief departure. And there is always a possibility of one of you not reviving, of being lost forever.

That is unacceptable.

I am not a hero. I do not save the innocent. But I will protect what needs to be protected. You do not need to like me. You do not need to trust me. But I can still help you. You may tell me to go a final time. Just know that in the future, all you need to do is ask.

No questions, no authorities, no debt owed.

I keep my promises.

GREAT NEXT TIME I NEED A MACABRE STALKER I'LL CALL YOU RIGHT UP.
LET ME JUST WRITE THIS DOWN IN MY BIG BOOK OF BULLSHIT.

[ He ain't even mad. ]

Have a good day back among the living. It is a good one for it.

Remember what I offered.

Just in case.
