lame
how could those nubby horns be sharp enough
dude has the nubbiest nubby horns
dont think rose died and she got gored by tzs
and lets not get into kanayas horns and the mayor
how the hell did the mayor make it and i died
not even a heroic death
just landed on a pair of the nubbiest horns in paradox space
couldnt be a just death either
unless paradox space is using my life in exchange for everyone elses
so when do i wake up?

[for anyone that happens to walk by Dave's room, he'll be muttering this all to himself as he types it]

More like your horns failed their purpose of having no purpose. [really Karkat you have such nubby horns how was this even possible. He lowers his shirt]

[hey, wasn't his fault Dave fell on them and died! Karkat wasn't trying to kill him! gosh, what an incredibly silly way to die THIS IS INCREDIBLY SILLY]

Or maybe you're not as fucking amazing as you think you are. [there's a hint of a smile there, behind his tired eyes. really, he feels bad about killing Dave. or, rather, the other Karkat should feel bad about it because this Karkat has so many other things to feel bad about]

Yeah man, I am as amazing as I think I am. [he has a small smile on his face, though. Damn it Karkat, stop being such a perfect bro]

[he is the bro-est of bros. John would be so jealous of their broship. but man he can't let that smile hang around too long. it's gone before Dave can blink]

Whatever. [leans back a little, resting his hands flat on the bed] So what happens now? We just wait for you to get your powers back?

Guess so. But you're stuck here, I don't like it. You should be in the furthest ring. [then again, Karkat is probably safer being dead here than in the ring]

[oh? is Dave worried about him? Karkat's gaze lowers so he's looking at his hands]

I'll be fine. I'm not supposed to be alive anyway, right? So who cares what happens here?

[yeah, he's worried, he also feels bad because it was probably him dying that skewed the timeline]

Alpha timeline doesn't allow the knight and seer to die and stay dead.

There's another Karkat, right? The fucking alpha one! Only I'm the doomed one. I might as well accept it, the same way you accept all those dead Striders. There can be only one, or some shit like that.

Oh man, we need to watch Highlander. [yeah, he just realized he neglected to share that choice piece of Earth cinema. He should have it on his computer]

But yeah, still sucks that in order to make sure that alpha time line keeps going you had to be doomed. Sorry, man.

Seriously, it's no big deal. I know it's coming. And if I don't go back, then so be it. Maybe you'll see me sometime in a dream bubble.

[a small smile]

Just stay away from Vriska out there.

[he shakes his head]

Anyways, lets watch that movie.

Movie? We're going to do that now?

You have something better to do? [he raises his eyebrow and brings out his laptop]

I guess not... Unless my fucking warden comes looking for me. That guy is a pain in my nook.

Warden? [he doesn't actually look up but there is a curious sound to his voice]

[slides off the bed and crawls on the floor to find some sort of box so that they can set the laptop up there. make their own personal theater...]

This old guy who says he's an angel. He's supposed to be the dipshit that's taking care of me. He says things like 'willy nilly' and 'my dear.'

[he actually looks up at that]

Sounds British and has a funky name that sounds like Arizona?

[turns around, pointing at Dave]

YES. That's it! That's my warden!

Met him earlier. He seemed okay.

He's a fucking tool, Dave. A grade A douche. [spins around and sits on the floor, leaning against the side of the bed. he's slightly off to the side of Dave] ...But he didn't make fun of me for being a troll so. I don't know. Just get the damn movie ready.

Movie coming right up.

[he finally locates the file and starts it playing with the standard logos for the production companies. He lays on his bed on his stomach in such a way that despite still being on the bed he's close to karkat]

Here.

[he holds the laptop out to Karkat so he could situate it so they can both watch]

[awesome. he takes the laptop and puts it on the box. and their movie theater is complete!]

This movie better not be lame. Because I will beat the shit out of you if it is.

It's a classic example of earth's action-fighting genre. Complete with Japanese swords appearing in pre-industrial Scotland and heads getting chopped off.

[he pauses]

It's awesome.

[what]

What.

There's some romance, too. [more of an off-hand comment]

Just watch the film.
