[itsknighttime]

hmm
i was sixteen last time i was here so like four or five years?

[pushpin]

what the hell
thats horse shit....

lemme guess, everyone u knew before said u was only gone a few days

[cadeuces]

Welcome back, Dave.
How long were you gone? On your end.
It's only been a couple of months, here.
Not that I can imagine you'll get much taller than you already are!

MOM

[itsknighttime]

now theres a username for soreass eyes
a user name that could heal soreass eyes i bet
oh shit really?
fuck its been years for me
i dunno if im taller thats a good question
probs not

[[He so is.]]

you been good? taking care of all the scrubs around here?

SON!!!

[cadeuces]

Imagine the power of a single username!
We should all be "Mercy", if that were the case.
You'd have to shave your legs for a nurse's uniform to try for the next level.

Years, though...
Are you all right? Was everything...? ( He hadn't exactly painted a cheery picture of "back home", so forgive her the worry that trails off. He can fill in the blanks. )

I've been well enough, and you know I have; others have left, as is the nature of this place, I suppose. Some were important to me.
Like you, of course. But I won't complain too much if you're back. I'll be expecting repayment!
A hug will do just fine. ♥

Is Karkat with you once more?

[ Oh, he has been around alright. Karkat was just feeling horribly existential. Going home had shaken him, as had returning, and reading about Dave aging beyond him had confirmed a lot of the dread that had been lingering at the back of his mind.

He wanted to reach out. He had spent the better part of the day pacing, rereading, and hissing. The response he settled on was not representative of the struggle, but he had decided that sending one shitty message was better than none at all. ]

HELLO???
WHAT THE FUCK?

[itsknighttime]

[[Unlike Karkat who has all this time to figure out what perfect message to send, Dave has to backspace all the keymash from grabbing the comm off the couch cushion beside his leg. After that at least he's typing again.]]

ah fuck good
did you turn off the stove before we got kidnapped again? i was heating up doritos on the stove top
get it?
crisprange?
but no in seriousness did you?

[mutantblood]

[ Ah, good. Karkat was being forced to acknowledge the elephant in the room almost immediately. The trunkbeast in the block? The uncomfortable reality right under his nose. ]

YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK THE KARKAT OF YOUR TIMELINE ALL OF THESE PRESSING AND NOT AT ALL DUMB QUESTIONS.
WHICH ISN'T ME BY THE WAY.

I'M NOT THE KARKAT YOU KNOW.
EXCEPT FOR THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE.
THAT WAS ME SO YOU KIND OF KNOW ME BUT ALSO DON'T.

[deathboss]

still trying to figure out if you're calling me a bitch

[itsknighttime]

and you and your friends all laugh
and everyone at the airport claps

[instilled]

Dave, it is good to see you once more.
This Vessel has missed your presence.
Welcome back to Lunatia.

[itsknighttime]

aww right in the feelspot
im glad to see you too
fuckin rights man
turns out you cant make an interstellar phone call to your posse back here from home
had to come back and see how yall were holdin up
you been good? no one i gotta go tell to play nice?

[instilled]

No, everyone has been 'playing nice'.
The shared sister of this Vessel and The Knight arrived.
She made it a cloak from her own silk as a Firalia gift.
Ah.
Dave.
Would you like a belated gift for this?

[bloodisthicker]

You left and came back, huh? Did you actually remember anything about this place while you were back home? Or is that... not possible.

text

[itsknighttime]

sure did
kinda did and kinda didnt i remember more here than i think i did back there
you know fevered dream of real cool motherfuckers and people who shouldnt have been here

Re: text

[bloodisthicker]

That’s... simultaneously better and worse than I had hoped, but oh well.

[Aw, what a sweet sentiment. Let's say something equivalently heartwarming.]

Do you really think God gives good head?

[Oooor we can just comment on Dave's username, I guess.]

[itsknighttime]

were he real id slam a big fat yes on the table and raise you a fuck yes after
when you think about it like hes the originator of every fucking thing ever so hes got to be the best one at it so we have something to strive for
you know
a sinless life of living up to gods ideals of how the best at the craft should probably suck a dick

[loungelizard]

I was on board until it became a competition. Performance anxiety inevitably leads to disappointment.

But I think it's kind of funny to imagine that it's how you prove your worth to get through the pearly gates.

[grylls]

[ It's fine if he wants to rap battle though. ]

I left and came back too.
Did you do it on purpose?
I accidentally changed blessings when I returned.

[itsknighttime]

[[This is a terrible thing to allow Dave to do.]]

nah i didnt do first or second time on purpose
i got the same one though
you mind if i ask how long you were out of here?
