Status: Open

[Dualscar's taken careful notice of this curse, and is pretty sure what it's all about - and that he's not affected. As a highblood troll, it would be practically unconscionable for him not to take advantage of this opportunity.

He may be deliberately visiting your character - if you're someone he knows - or it could be a chance meeting. Either way, he may be trying to ferret out information. Or there might not be anything in particular that he cares to know.]

[Karkat sighs, head tipping back so he can regard the ceiling. It has no help for him.]

Look, can we just agree to the terms I laid out? Mutual right to call each other out, with the purposes that we might actually get along better. That's what you wanted, isn't it? Or are you just bitching about my attitude for no reason?

[devwocean]

[His expression softens just a little.] Wwell, wwe're agreed, then. If it'll make you feel better for me to say it ovvertly.

[bethehugejerk]

[The look lowers to Dualscar, for as little as that movement takes.]

Considering you were the one going, "and what if I don't think it's fair?" like a contrary wiggler, yes, I do feel better to hear it overtly.

[He pauses, then motions at the kettle.]

I'll take that tea now, if you're still offering.

[devwocean]

Only on account a I wwas curious wwhat you'd say.

[He smirks, then lifts the kettle and moves to pour a second cup]

So wwe're allies, then.

[bethehugejerk]

... You picked the most counterproductive thing to say for the situation out of curiosity? Okay, I am hereby exercising my agreed upon right to call you out: that was stupid. Its stupidity is immutable and unchangeable, both because why the fuck would you do that when it seemed like you want us to get along, and also because why did you even need to be curious about what should have been obvious in the first place? You weren't surprised by my answer; you didn't even pretend to be.

[Still, he takes the cup, and glowers mildly at Dualscar as he takes a sip.]

But yes, we are now allies.

[devwocean]

It wwasn't counterproductivve on account a the fact that it still resulted in the same thing. An it wwasn't stupid, either. I wwanted to see howw you'd react. I'm still a fuckin' highblood, in case you'vve forgotten, and there's a chance I'll act like one from time to time, evven if I'vve committed to associatin' peacefully wwith the likes a you. [He smiles superiorially at Karkat in return, sipping his own tea] If you ain't prepared to handle that, then wwe'vve got a problem right out a the gate.
