[That is definitely some kind of bug person on your communicators right now. Sorry.]

Good evening, or whatever time of day you may be viewing this message. I have a small request.

As some of you may know, I am largely unfamiliar with human clothing as well as many human customs. However, I have gleaned that costumes are traditional for celebrating this season. It would bring me great relief if someone were to offer advice on costumes that might fit my body type and would suit the occasion.

Thank you for your time.

[He bows politely, as one does when asking for a favor.]

nah whats a few blankets between friends?
nothing thats what
ok cool when you both have free time let me know

aight im gonna run out and like pre get this shit so that if an impromptu blanket fort needs making i am ready

thanks again man i appreciate you bein honest and cool about shit

You should ask them their schedule. While attempting not to let them rearrange things for you, if possible. I am happy to answer whatever questions you may ask, hypothetical or otherwise.

yeah i can do that for sure
i wont let them bend over backward like i can work this all in and maybe i can even get my other friend who is also a bug to come
he has a mouth though and hes loud but i love him
like a friend love because im totally into chicks
sometimes he comes out of his house but like not always well have to see
do you got anything i gotta take into consideration for the calendar?

ok ill be sappy for ten seconds
that means a lot so thanks
a lot

I am an Iris, so during the Iris moon would be less than ideal. Otherwise, nothing immediately comes to mind. You are more than welcome. It means a great deal simply that you would come to me for advice.

fuck right moons
ill figure somethin out

you come off as a no bullshit kind of guy so im glad i got someone who i can go to

[[Going to Karkat is a different thing entirely and him and his embroiled friendship with said other youth is too complex to ask him these questions. That and thinking of Karkat as a dad doesn't mix well. Hard limit where his daddy issues kick themselves out, Karkat is that line.]]

[Better to ask an actual dad then your definitely-not-boyfriend.]

I have heard that I am unusually straightforward for a higher being.

[[Totally not his super secret boycrush, and especially if you ask either of them. Not that this place hasn't continued to make his life figuring out his sexuality a living hell.]]

dude
thats a quality
youre not an asshole about it youre just straight forward i think thats how it should be
i mean sometimes a guys got to watch what hes sayin but not where its got to be about throwin his balls out the window over it

Manners are no excuse for being deliberately obtuse. There are those who feel that they need to be mysterious at all times, but I find that sort of act to be tiring.

oh man
you may as well hit them with the im not mad im disappointed
whew
i felt that all the way over here

It's a power you gain when you become a parent. Sadly, some people are immune.

im not
if you say it ill feel it from across the damn universe haha
youre braver than me i never want kids
i dont even want pets
maybe a fish those things are boss

Parenthood is not for everyone. But for those who are meant for such, it can be enormously rewarding. What sort of fish?

yeah i guess so
when you were talking about your kid i could tell
youre a good guy

oh man
like maybe a beta fish
orrrr a gold fish
just someone to chill out with when im on my own and dont feel like being around people
ive been doing a lot of me time or was until bro got here
not that its bad just i know they can take him back too at any time
so i like to check in you know? hes family
my family

[[Responsibility is what he's saying. Not burden, really, he's elated his big brother is here and that he isn't dead, but there's a lot of really sour feelings still. He's got to watch that he doesn't get to spread that kind of venom to anyone else, either and that without Cal he may actually not be apt to trap the entire house. He's not unhappy but he knows it's an undertaking.]]

That is only what they deserve. I see. My dear musician also favors time alone and in the quiet. I wonder if there is something about the occupation that lends itself to introspection?

then im right
had a good dad

idk could be idk that i waver up to someone like them but it could be
im used to being alone but not the past three years
i think maybe its just the place
all my friends until we met in person were just people behind a screen
still my friends but text feels easier sometimes

Such a sudden change is difficult to adjust to. Even I have similar difficulties when called somewhere truly strange for me.

yeah this place is real god damn different
at least i know im not the only one
and if someone as badass as you had an issue in similar situations then i dont feel like such a pussy
well whatever its cool i got friends like you guys now so i got a crew to run with

So you do. I could consider you an honorary member of my troupe, if you like. You are assisting with a performance.

[[It takes him a few to get his head on straight. That's a damn nice thing to see, in fact it's above and beyond nice. This is exactly why he told his brother he doesn't want to go home anymore. With Karkat here, with Dirk here, there's no reason when his life doesn't suck comparatively with kind souls like this one.]]

wow
fuck i wasnt expecting that
i mean in a good way
fuck yeah man id run with yall
long as it isnt gonna start no shit for you guys
im one hundred percent human i think
pretty sure

We have no humans at home, but we also have no prejudice towards them. You would be welcome among us.

well hell man yeah count me in
man i dont know what to say thats real god damn nice
no ones said that kinda shit before

[[Sure he has friends back home, but they have no choice but to deal with him now. He's one of the few humans left alive and they sort of need him.]]

You need not say anything. Simply accepting has made me happy.

settled then
god damn thats cool
ok idk what im supposed to do but lead away leader
any time you need me i got you

i also got this too

Astounding! Thank you very much. I will need to take some time to choreograph a routine to this, but of course I will let you know the instant I am ready to perform.

take all the time you mean bro ill whip some more up some time for you so you got yourself some variety
i cant wait to see it
