[ a nightmare ]

Jegus Crackers and Toast for breakfast, Strider, he's still my friend you insensitive fuck. Just because he's dead and a homicidal blob of calamari waiting to happen doesn't mean I'm going to ignore his whiny pleas for help. Anyway as far as I can figure, it's more than just the usual fish person abduction where the goal is to forcibly harvest genetic material and then cull the victim. No. The white van monster is as mysterious in its motivations as it is sinister.

You watch your back, Sunglasses. You could be next.

[ All of this makes perfect sense in Karkat's mind. ]

For your information I've been eating the usual stuff. Tapioca sandwiches. Bread sandwiches. Sliced orange sandwiches. Ketchup sandwiches. All sorts of healthy shit.

[knightime]

You're taking the letters seriously. [Well, okay. Dave might have too. But after finding a whole load of jack shit, he's getting pretty skeptical now.]

Are you listening to yourself? Like seriously. I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you're saying a whole load of bullshit and I think you need to stop. I'm going to actually be concerned with your health and I think you need rest.

A lot of it. Also, probably something to make you feel better, but that's not going to be a thing that's happening since I have nothing of use but this shitty sword.

[He really doesn't want to deal with this.]

Those aren't sandwiches.

[yourgoddamnit]

I am until proven that they're as fake as Tavros' self esteem. Better to operate under the assumption that they're real than risk them being true and ignoring them. [ this is the only lucid thought he's able to hold onto amidst his spiral into madness ]

I stopped listening to myself the second I pupated. Conversations with my past and future selves have only affirmed that it was a good idea.

[ His scowl deepens. Karkat lurches forward like he's about to shove Dave, but instead he just keeps going with the momentum and starts stumbling away. What little breath he does have he uses to go on an angry tirade. ]

Listen up you walking sack of severed human dicks: you're the one who's truly diseased here. Diseased with... with concern. [ He practically spits the word. ] I hope that some sort of lie or your perverse sense of irony at work. Fucking apathy and simmering agitation at my existence, that I can fucking understand. You giving even the vaguest semblance of a shit about my life even as you slowly reel Terezi into your sardonic web. This? This bullshit you're pulling right here?! Oh my god. I will smash your face into... into a jelly! And I will spread it onto bread and I will make a delicious sandwich, a food product which you clearly know nothing about!

[knightime]

Have you found anything though? [Dave doesn't want to be incredibly pessimistic, but he hasn't really found anything since arriving. Maybe he also doesn't want to consider that someone or something actually got ahold of Rose or Jade. He did come here though, so that means something.But, nope, he has to listen to you rant on about nothing.]

Uh, what? What the fuck are you talking about? I'm going to say this once, but this is me being one hundred percent concerned about your current mental health, or lack thereof. As for Terezi, I actually have no idea what you're talking about, which isn't a surprise to anyone since you're basically word vomiting faster than fangirls on Justin Bieber. Do you mean the fact we're friends wasting time? Because I can tell you now, we did the same thing on the meteor and it hasn't changed. We're just fucking around.

So, chill. Seriously. [He's following you now. Jesus, you're kind of freaking him the fuck out.]

[yourgoddamnit]

Not yet. [ As much as Karkat hates to think it (and will never say it), he won't discredit Dave's suspicions. In all probability this is just some elaborate trap. Still, better safe than sorry. ]

I'm talking about your face smeared on some delicious raisin bread! Fucking pay attention when I'm making implausible, asinine threats! I'm onto you Strider. I am on you like sugar on saltine crackers.

[ He wheels around (nearly losing his balance in the process) to prod Dave in the chest. Try as he might to give Dave the most infuriated scowl, the effect is ruined by the red flush on his cheeks as a result of the fever. He gives up and continues on his stumbling journey. ]

I'll be chill when I'm dead. My empty husk will be so chill that I'll be frozen for sweeps and then revived by archeologists.

[ It's meant as a joke, but from the way things are going, that will could be a real possibility. ]

[knightime]

[Dave isn't sure whether he regrets being here or not. This place sucks and the train ride sucks too.]

You realize you just told me to pay attention to you while you make ridiculous attempts at my life. [Just pointing that out bro.] ...

You look like death is just around the corner. You're sick, dude. I don't care what you say. You look like hell decided to make love to your face.

[yourgoddamnit]

[ Dave should regret anywhere he is with Karkat. ]

I fully realize it and I will continue to berate you for not being enraptured by my rambling death threats. They are verbal gems. Cherish them.

[ Karkat knows that Dave knows he's full of shit and these are all empty threats anyway. Really, they're just excuses to for Karkat to get creative with his irrational anger. ]

My convorting with Hell is none of your business. Ours was a brief but sweet relationship and what it did with my face is only something you can dream of doing with Terezi. [ Karkat pauses, mouth hanging open as he visibly tries to continue down this absurd fabrication. Unfortunately his mind is way too muddled and foggy to make the effort, so he simply shakes his head. ]

I know I'm sick but not a whole fucking lot I can do about it here, can I?

[knightime]

[He still has plenty of time on the meteor to enjoy Karkat's presence. Oh joy.]

Oh, I'm cherishing them. Totally cherishing them. So, should I tell you about all this crap you said to me when you're not completely fucked up or keep it to myself?

I'm making this short and sweet. We're friends. If you want Terezi, than go get her, but all we do is mess around to pass time. [Stop projecting your feelings onto him!]

I can carry you. Because you look like you're about to keel over honestly.
