Who: Karkat Vantas and whoever!
Where: All across Vatheon.
When: Anytime during the week.
Style: Action please!
Status: Open.
[A curse that makes you say the truth no matter what you want is not exactly Karkat's idea of a fun time. He's not much a liar, no, and his worst secret isn't so secret around Vatheon anymore, but that's not the point. What's the point of being open if it's forced from you? And as outwardly prickly a guy as he is, he doesn't want his squishy inside exposed at will.]
[Unfortunately, as is true for every curse, life doesn't stop just because you're inconvenienced. There are groceries to get, his job at a video store to do, the coral to visit, and his usual sickle practice in the park. He tries to avoid people if he can, oh yes, but there's only so much he can do. Even if he evades them outside the hive, he can't exactly send mental waves to stop them from coming to visit him at home, if that's their prerogative. Ultimately, he's bound to run into more annoyance than he'd like. But what else is new?]
(OOC: This is pretty standard! Pick a place to meet him, and feel free to note a specific day if you have one in mind, though the second probably isn't too necessary. If there's any problem I'll let you know.)

I don't even know what the Sims are. I am not going to explain the whole of Sgrub since, having done it before, I know it takes a long ass time - more than my patience will allow for here. The short version is that it's a game that destroys one world to create another. The slightly more involved version is that a team of players linked in a chain of connections help each other enter the game world proper, build onto each other's hives to help them progress up toward a series of gates above their new lands, fight various enemies for material to do said building, engage in quests of varying stupidity and pseudo-deep coming of age bullshit, defeat the Black King and Queen in some fashion, and shape the form of the new universe that is to be their reward, some more directly or indirectly depending on circumstance. Said universe is literally a giant fucking frog the Space player breeds, for instance, and it's the job of the team leader to clone their teammates and respective species' form of relatives, which, yes, means I did that. There are also more stable time loops than anyone can ever hope to understand, even when every team also requires a Time player to succeed.
Beyond Time and Space, every other player gets their own aspect for their title, the meanings of which are more obvious for some people than for others. I still don't know what a Knight of Blood is supposed to do, but oh fucking well!

So, wait. You yourself actually had to do this? Not just playing a video game and controlling a two-d character?

Yes, Annabeth, we ourselves did it. Are you just now getting that? Games like that aren't exactly new. The only thing about this one was the scale on which it completely changed everything.
