not even a heroic death
just landed on a pair of the nubbiest horns in paradox space

unless paradox space is using my life in exchange for everyone elses

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

[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.

[OH OKAY ROMANCE.

yes, he's shutting up now, eyes glued to the screen]

[he smirks to himself, Karkat was way too easy, sometimes.

This was one of the few normal films that he had watched with his brother... purely because of the sword fights.

It actually felt a little strange watching it with someone else... but Karkat was definitely an acceptable movie partner]
