It Is My Regrettable Duty To Inform You That The Count Of Those Present On This Plane No Longer Includes The Following
Jake English
Feferi Peixes
Roxy Lalonde
Rose Lalonde
And Karkat Vantas

There Are Others Missing Also But I Havent Identified Them
Just That The Number Of Familiar Threads Are Fewer In Number
It Seems As Though Some Sort Of Mass Exodus Was Accomplished While We Slept Last Night
And We Are The Ones Left Behind In Its Aftermath

I Wonder If We Havent Offended Her In Some Way

you can tell me anyway

[glowsferatu]

[ she hangs her head in silence a few moments. it takes her a while to find the words to answer with. ]

Nearly all of us do, with very few returning. It wasn't an easy time for anyone who did survive it.

Do you know the circumstances of your death in particular?

[glowsferatu]

[ she wonders about that correction, mostly just how obvious she must be, or if cyd's spoken enough with others of her species enough to know the more typical vagueness over definitions on the subject.

she's used to hearing assumptions, used to giving them those same assumptions in return. it's different enough to be notable. ]

I wouldn't know, I've never been on the receiving end.

[ a beat, she frowns. ] Is it so troublesome, really? Having someone so devoted to you that they would give anything to see you happy?

Shinji
Remember Who Youre Speaking With
Do You Really Think I Dont Understand Having Something Wrong With Oneself
Being Inherently Broken
Do You Think I Fear The Danger To Myself I May Suffer From Our Acquaintance
Im Your Friend
I Care About You
Because Of That I Wont Let You Or Myself Go Anywhere

[lastnerv]

maybe you shouldn't

have you thought about that?

maybe if you let me go and cut myself off you'll be happier too

you won't have to worry about me hurting you again at least

[glowsferatu]

I Wouldnt Be Any Happier At All
Ive Been Trying To Say From The Start That Id Be Quite The Opposite
Im Not Worried About Being Hurt
What I Am Worried About Is You

She Always Steals Away The People Important To Me
Always
Its Only A Matter Of Time
But The Inevitability Is Undeniable
Ill Be Left Here Alone Before Its Done With

[lastnerv]

[soulbonder]

are these people usually from the same place as you ?

Do You Think Its Something I Shouldnt Be Worried About
Knowing My Friend Keeps Himself As Tightly Locked As I Do Myself
In Secret
Without Anyone Knowing Or Helping
Im Not One To Be Frightened Away When I Know Theres A Need

Sometimes
Not Always
I Doubt Ill Ever See Soldier Blue Donna Or Gretel Again

[soulbonder]

i dont know the others but was soldier blue a friend of yours kanaya

i met him once
he was able to speak to me in a manner most humans could not
it was nice to meet another person who could speak with their heart

[text]

[lastnerv]

it'd be better for us both if you were

i don't want to kill anyone else kanaya

[text]

[glowsferatu]

Do You Want To Know How To Do That
I Have An Answer And Its Very Simple
Just Dont Kill Anyone
And If Thats Such A Difficult Rule To Follow Then You Need To Tell Someone You Trust
Tell Me
Because There Will Be Times When The Only Way You Can Keep From Falling Is To Have Someone There To Catch You

[text]

[lastnerv]

it's not a matter of if i want to

people close to me just end up that way

[voice]

[longbowhunter]

You wanna talk about it, kiddo?

[shipper]

Karkat - the thing with Karkat's face told me. [she still doesn't really want to call that shadow Karkat; it feels wrong and heavy on her tongue, tripping up her speech]

He didn't know why I was there though, just that I was.

[do you? the question hangs silently at the end of her sentence and fills her eyes as she watches Kanaya from the safety of her nest of knees and arms]

[xuffasch]

and even that's pointless because she can just bring you back.

_{( He's rolling his eyes from the safety of his own home. )}

[wild_roar]

Yeah, well...that's what I'm saying. I might be a Hero but I know others aren't. I would've chalked that up to the machine being broken...although 'deranged' is a pretty good way of putting it too.

He Was Very Kind
And He Always Listened
But I Think He Needed Someone To Her Him More Often Than May Have Been Typical
Though I May Have Been Without The Means To Speak With Him As You Could I Greatly Admired Him

I Dont Know
Its Just Too Much At Once
Even With Our Losses Last Summer We Had Some Kind Of Spacing Between Them

[text]

[glowsferatu]

You Arent The Only One To Have Lost Thsoe You Care For To The Grasp Of Death
Neither Are You Alone In Blaming Yourself For It
Its Okay If I Have To Suffer
Im Not Afraid Of It

[glowsferatu]

I Know That
So Its Preferable To Find A Meaning For Yourself Instead Of Simply Allowing The Lack To Consume You
Theres Nothing More Pointless Than Insistently Speaking On The Pointlessness Of It All

[glowsferatu]

For Her To Be Broken She Would Need To Be Carrying Out Anothers Will I Think
Some Designer Behind Her Program To Guide Her Decisions
Somehow If That Were The Case I Expect We Would Have Heard More On The Subject By Now

[soulbonder]
