[sanguinertia]

Ooooh, speaking of names, I guess I should say! I'm Ruby.

[ Since her username is "crescentrose" that wasn't really obvious. ]

[itsknighttime]

[[He never expects anything more than user names on the network, it's still a way to refer to someone and it's nice she offered at least.]]

Dave.

[[He replies simply.]]

Ruby's a nice name. Is it a life style too?

[[Says the guy who types in red.]]

[sanguinertia]

Haha, I guess? It's more a thing back home - a long time ago there was a war that kinda involved, uh, destroying art and that kinda thing, annnnnnnd to summarize things a lot most people are named for colors or that sort of thing these days. And we wear lots of colors! My favorite one is red, obviously.

[ OBVIOUSLY. ]

[itsknighttime]

A war that destroyed art? You lost me but not my interest. I love art so a war over it sounds like some top tier adventure.

[[When she says red is her favourite. Gripping a small pinch of the outfit he's in, he pulls softly at the red fabric, mostly right over the cog on his chest.]]

You're among friends. Best colour and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[sanguinertia]

[ IT was not a top tier adventure since it was more a side effect of totalitarianism or whatever, so. ]

I mean, people could say otherwise! But they'd be wrong. Oh, hey - my entire name is red, actually? Ruby Rose.

[itsknighttime]

[[Knows that when there's no real answer given, he drops it. He's learned that from Karkat drilling it in his head but that all sounds like something that isn't as much adventure as it is horrible living conditions. Poor girl.]]

They'd be dead fuckin' wrong. It's a damn good colour.

[[His eyebrow lifts from behind his glasses.]]

Holy shit. Alright, you got me on that one at least. I can't say any of my names are red related.
Is this all coincidence? Fate? Coincifate? Both. All three.
I've never been in a place where people like red as much as this.

[sanguinertia]

You can always make up a reddish middle name!

[ That's how that works, right. ]

...Also, why would people not like red?

[itsknighttime]

[[He shrugs his shoulder, curling back into the corner of the couch he's now calling his own. Also according to Dave, yes, that's how it works. They can't both be wrong.]]

That's not a bad idea, I could handle having two middle names. Or just dropping one and going with a red name. Don't think t hey have birth certificates on this planet.

[[Another shrug.]]

There's a lot of redcists out there.

[mutantblood]

[ Does what he wants. No human has power over him. ]

OH EXCUSE ME.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A SLIVER OF SANITY TO BEGIN WITH.
MY MISTAKE.

THAT SOUNDS THREATENING ENOUGH.
DO THAT.
AFTER.

I WILL COME OVER AND PROVE THAT IT SUCKS.
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO HEAR IT.

[itsknighttime]

[[This is true. All of this is true. For now.]]

its cool
easy mistake to make

yeah ok can do totally
im entirely serious about breaking a few noses in your name
you will go down in history as the untouchable one who sends out a human to knock heads for him

[[...Shit okay, yes. Perfect. Company. God. Fuck yes. KARKAT company.]]

hella
im attaching my address which i guess you need
the suns probably going to be up soon so ill make somewhere up for you in case you get tired over here

[[He's alone in a new place and having Karkat over even if all he does is sleep is going to be a godsend. There's an address and a landmark that he's aware of around his place that's crudely drawn out.]]

[thedarkbond]

they work in the secret back offices so i have to go looking (︶︹︶)
too soundproof back there

oh you're one of those people
there's actually a few married people here so i guess handholding isn't exclusive enough ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
the problem is less the social thing
and more that chroma is both money and energy so it's kind of necessary to. you know. live and stuff ┗(･ω･;)┛
also there's a bunch of people here with weird powers and using those apparently drains chroma really quickly?

[He says, like he doesn't also have weird powers.]

we log style now

[mutantblood]

Dave doesn't deserve the luxury of a response. He can ramble on to someone who isn't even at their device right now. Karkat needed a little extra time and wanted to show up at the listed address in a manner at least mildly prompt. He was going to be considerate and bring a peace offering, and what better way to chill out with his bro if not with some good, greasy comfort food?

The troll's fist whacked at the door with thunderous strength that belied just how slight he was. "Knock knock, asshole. Let me in." He wasn't so keen on being outside -- so close to sunrise, no less.

they see me loggin they heyyyten

[itsknighttime]

Don't worry, Karkat was going to come back to his device later to see a few messages and a likelihood of idiocy strewn across it. Dave had just finished dismantling parts of his bed to shove in what seems like comfortable enough tucks of sheets or blankets they could sit on until Karkat needed to sleep. His eyes darted to the door quicker than the fist that pounded on it and he resisted the urge to zip over, instead crossing the floor like a normal person for once.

Opening the door, he leaned against the frame and stayed within the barrier. "Sorry we gave at the offi--" Oh food. "I was goi'na make the joke but you've got food and I know you'd eat it alone out of spite." He moved out of the doorway, making way for Karkat and gesturing in a gentlemanly fashion for him to come in. "Chateau Strider awaits you and your food."

[sanguinertia]

Lame!! Red is the best color! ...Although I guess yellow and blue and black are cool, too!

[ Because she loves her color-coded friends. ]

[mutantblood]

From the moment Dave opened his mouth Karkat had already raised the arm with the generic paper bag full of hot food. His ears were folded backwards and his gaze sharpened until the human's posture relaxed and he seemed to drop whatever dumb facade he was planning. Karkat shoved the takeout into Dave's arms and stomped inside in a far less formal manner than his friend had flourished. He wont play along, he just wants in.

The housing here smells just as generic as his own little patch of Level 2; minus Dave's personal scent that Karkat's keen nose is more than used to. It's soothing in its own, weird way. Familiarity is nice.

"It's..." Karkat snapped his fingers, attempting to recall the word that he had been told regarding the meal that he had swiped on his way here. "... Something knees food. I don't fucking know. It's like Eastern Alternian." As if that would clarify anything at all. "I told them to give me something that humans like. So if it tastes like shit don't bitch at me. I tried."

[betheirstrength]

I mean yeah it does kinda feel that way to me.
So, guilty I guess.

Ohh you're a mixer! No wonder you're desperate for your programs. You could always ask what kinds of studios they have around here, too. Use the real deal.

[itsknighttime]

Dave had food and that meant that Karkat could stomp wherever he wanted to stomp. He closed the door and stepped in himself, taking out the food to sit down in front of the TV and lay it out on the floor. "Chinese. Saying something-nese is racist, but I'll give you a pass again 'cause you brought food." That was the way to Dave's heart, or to his home, it was food. "
Maybe Japanese and I'm the racist."

The racist who was shoving food in his face by the proper use of chopsticks. Also something he had to learn as a child. "If this is sorry," he said, stopping to eat more food, "I hope your guilt never stops." he lifted some of the food upward toward Karkat to offer it to him. "Tastes good, come try."

[itsknighttime]

at least youre the down to earth kind and not the stuck up kind
you got any of those fire mixtapes? im all down to hear your trade

fuck yeah i am
dj extraordinaire
oh shit they have studios here too? i need a catalogue by catalogue directory of all the shit in this place
wheres the yellowpages when you need them

[itsknighttime]

[[He huffs an amused noise and maybe there's even a little smirk on his lips.]]

Damn, well as long as red's the best. I guess the rainbow isn't so bad. Got a whole society of aliens back home who might or might not agree with you but I think that's cool. Right down to the black spectrum. Red and black aren't so bad either. Then 'gain red and yellow isn't so bad. Or red and blue.

[itsknighttime]

dont go too far out of your way
it doesnt have to be right this second if it gets to be a pain in the ass to find them

[[One of those people is hilarious to him and it's more socially awkward than those people, but it's fine. He'll live and take the L on that one too, he dug his own grave. However, that useful bit of information isn't lost on him.]]

son of a bitch
thats why
so youre saying if i need to do something big ive got to generate this shit in a big way too
fuck
okay i guess i better get my free hugs sign and stand on the street corner

[thedarkbond]

it's only a two storey building it's fine ╮(─▽─)╭
i'd complain louder if it wasn't
besides i guess it's kind of my job to keep an eye on them...

[Keeping an eye on your staff when you own a company??? Ludicrous.]

yep that's why it's really hard to avoid (・ω・｀=)ゞ
i'm fine with giving free hugs (though are they really free when we basically both get paid for them...)
my moon cycle makes me burn through chroma quicker which is kind of exhausting -(~。~；)
but outside of that spare chroma is good to have

[mutantblood]

The brief flick of his ear was the only acknowledgement that the door was afforded once it clicked shut. He occupied Dave's couch by unceremoniously dropping down back into it. Karkat made quick work of shuffling himself in to get comfortable in the crook of the cushions.

"The first one." His response was confident. The comment about racism was waved away without a second thought. He isn't being a dick intentionally... This time. "Not that I need a pass from you."

The troll leaned away from the food and his upper lip curled up on one side in a half snarl of disgust. "I'm never sorry. Get those dirt noodles away from me."

[sanguinertia]

Uh...why do the aliens hate red?

[ You might have to run that one by her again, Dave. ]

[itsknighttime]

Dave stayed center on the floor in front of the food, waiting for Karkat to see if he wanted any of the best thing someone could bring him. He was ignoring that Karkat didn't need a pass, of course he didn't. It was still fun to bug him about things that didn't matter to him as a troll, though.

"Dirt noodles." he said, amused before shoving them into his mouth and chewing away. Comfortable with Karkat, he drug the food with him as he sat next to the other knight's legs. "Thanks for the food." rarely polite, the one thing he appreciated was something to eat and especially with the voracious appetite he had. "So I found out some more shit." he was eating between talking but never with his mouth full. "Figured out why I can't jump far into the timeline back or forward. Interested?"
