SO LET ME SEE IF I'VE GOT THIS RIGHT, BECAUSE AFTER AN INFODUMP LIKE THAT MY THINKPAN IS THREATENING TO SPLIT APART FROM THE SHEER FORCE OF HOW BULLSHIT THIS ALL IS.

MY FRIENDS AND I GET DRAGGED SCREAMING AND FLAILING INTO AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS-INDUCING BID TO LEAVE EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER KNOWN BEHIND IN THE HOPES OF MAKING SOMETHING BETTER, GET BLOCKED ON THAT AT EVERY TURN, DIE OR COME CLOSE TO IT A WHOLE FUCKING LOT, SPEND THREE EARTH YEARS ON THE SHITTIEST POSSIBLE ROUTE THROUGH PARADOX SPACE TO THE BIG FINAL SHOWDOWN, COME THROUGH THAT WITH OUR MORTAL HUSKS MORE OR LESS UNSCATHED, AND *NOW* YOU'RE TELLING ME I'VE BEEN SHOOSHED TO YET ANOTHER NONSENSE-INFESTED CORNER OF REALITY?

TO FIX THINGS?

IS THERE ANY END TO THIS OVERTORQUED CAROUSEL OF MADNESS, OR ARE WE ALL SUPPOSED TO HOLD ON UNTIL WE'RE FLUNG TO OUR DOOM OR COVERED IN OUR OWN VILE STOMACH CONTENTS??

((OOC: Karkat hasn't taken the oath yet. Also, anyone who doesn't want to deal with trolltext can opt out here or simply reply with voice/video. He'll match you!))

Apparently! Are you in charge of these people? Because a good half of them could use some extra training before you let them have access to people's memos on here.

[But this guy is taking a pretty reasonable tone with him, and it's harder to rage against someone who's making sense.]

I mean, I guess? It wouldn't be my first clash with an interdimensional horror, but I didn't exactly say yes yet.

Nah. I mean, if you want to go by seniority, I technically outrank most of those guys because I've been here longer? But the Legion doesn't really work like that. Some of them are just going to mess with you to get a rise out of you. Just ignore them. Or, in Grif's case, tell him that you know what Primetime is already.

[He's doing it on purpose this time, Grif. Can't say he didn't earn it with that text trick, though.]

Well, let's put it like this. If you don't say yes, you're probably going to get really bored when we're all out saving the universe and you're stuck arguing with fangirls.

[Karkat grunts, acknowledging the point even if he doesn't fully appreciate that comment about fangirls yet. He knows himself well enough to know he doesn't want to be sitting around all day twiddling his thumbs and not being a part of the great adventure.

Shit. Does he really have to say the dumb oath and wear that skimpy garbage?

Time for a subject change.]

What the hell is Primetime?

Apparently there are people out there who think that Grif is head over heels for Rich. They call it 'Primetime' or 'Doubleprime' or something dumb like that.

It drives him buggy.

Oh yeah? Is he?

[He actually sounds kind of interested in this.]

Nah. They're friends, but nothing like that.

[It's really kind of mean for Jason to share it, he knows it'd bug him if people were saying the same stuff about him. But Grif spends so much time antagonizing people that it seems only fair to offer them a weapon in defense.]

At the very least it'd be an icebreaker for a topic that isn't your text choices, right?

[That gets a scoff.]

Yeah fucking right! Like some humans don't already get clinchy enough in the netherdressings when there's even the subtle implication that they might have romantic inclinations toward the same gender?

You guys are weird about that shit sometimes.

[Unfortunately, Jason's from a rather uncomfortable point of time as far as all that's concerned. He shrugs on his end, despite the fact that the camera's not on.]

Just a suggestion.

That said, they're a lot looser about that kind of thing in this place.

Really?

I mean, not that I give the first gibbering fuck or anything.

[His boyfriend kinda still does, though.]

Trolls don't really take the same stuff into account that humans do. I've gotten a better handle on your weird arbitrary dos and don'ts, but that doesn't mean I think it makes much sense.

[Karkat probably can't hear Jason shrugging.]

I dunno. I just don't think they care about that kinda thing. No one ever talks about it one way or the other, from what I've seen. Except the fans.

[They're kinda scary.]

Uh.

Fans?

[You actually surprised him out of his usual annoying blather.]
