shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

Mech works too! I can do that, man. Thanks for being chill about it

 

Yes!! Well, she's also small and can fit tight spaces, but Refractor mostly recon, so seeing is very important...

Um... think it was someone in comms???? Not sure right now...

 

Oh yeah! That's how I use my other drone. Recon is super important, it's not my only specialty but it's super important.

 

[karkat pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs, before making a big show of how nonthreatening he is. he takes a few steps back, tugging dave along with him, and sits them both down while making an effort not to move too suddenly]
(YOU ARE A JAR OF IMPULSIVITY AND RIDICULOUSNESS ACCURATELY LABELLED 'DUMBSAUCE' AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I STILL KEEP YOU IN MY THERMAL HULL. LET ME PUT THIS IN NEANDERTHAL-SPEAK FOR YOU. YOU ADULT, ADULT SCARY. YOU SQUISHY PALE HUMAN, MAYBE LESS SCARY THAN ME, ADULT TROLL DESPITE MY PATHETICALLY ROUNDED APPEARANCE.)

YEAH, HI

 

[Nodnodnods]
Refractor prefers invention and research, but Refractor is recon jet, and recon jets are rare, so...
[His wings tilt down miserably ust the slightest bit.]

 

yeah man ive basically got like
a troll phd
i think at this point i spend more time around you guys than i do around humans
also this is karkat he is my guide to your mysterious antics hes the lighthouse making sure i dont smash myself on the weird orange gradient rocks jutting impudently out from the shore

(cause my dumbsauce butters your idiotbread just right mm yeah)
(oh shit)
(oops what do we do now)

 

[Ghazal watches this. Then resumes fiddling with his drop spindle, relaxing a little.]
>@ Heya. That's pretty unusual, hah, an adult and all, hanging out all friendly like with some alien guy...?

 

[Ghazal snickers quietly. Smashing against weird orange gradient rocks, wink wink.]

 

I'm kind of the main recon guy for my group, it's cool I understand. I like doing it but I can see why people might not? Josh is like that, but he doesn't go out because I'm around. Research and inventions are cool though! Cooler than shit like recon and punching people.

 

My guy if I threw on the afterburners over every little insult or misstep I woulda lost my babysitting privs a long time ago population boom or no

Eh fair I was just curious
They have a good voice for calling my name ;D

Hey. Hey Refractor. Guess what? We're on a hippie space commune ship and Nichy is The Most In Charge you don't gotta do jack anymore if you don't wanna. [Fussy protective wings. He knows how hard it is to break that thought pattern, but dammit why is his flockmate sad? This is unacceptable.]

 

[Wings perk up a little]
True! Refractor is gonna apply for engineering one of these cycles... People can be intimidating.

 

[karkat shrugs]

UNUSUAL IS THE CESSPOOL IN WHICH I MARINATE, THE PRIMORDIAL GREEN OOZE FROM WHICH I ORIGINATED. THAT IS TO SAY THERE WAS A WHOLE ITEMIZED LIST OF THINGS TO DO THE NORMAL WAY, AND DOWN TO THE BIOLOGICAL LEVEL I WENT "HARD PASS"
ALIENS AREN'T SO BAD ONCE YOU GET USED TO THEM, DESPITE DAVE'S BEST EFFORTS TO LEAVE A SHIT IMPRESSION FOR THE WHOLE SPECIES.

PLUS, BEING AN ADULT SERIOUSLY ISN'T THAT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN 'OH, I'M AN ADULT NOW. HOW DO YOU FILE TAXES?' I MEAN, I HAVEN'T SEEN ALTERNIA SINCE I WAS SIX, SO I'M NOT EXACTLY STEEPED IN IMPERIAL CULTURE, BUT? IF THERE WERE SOME INHERENT BADASSITUDE ATTRIBUTE I COULD MAGICALLY ACQUIRE BY LIVING THIS LONG, I MUST HAVE MISSED MY CHANCE.

 

>@ There's this whole propaganda bullshit spiel about how you better gird your loins before ascension day arrives and acquire some strife proficiency or else the fleet commanders will like eat you alive. Literally.
>@ Makes a guy a lil nervous.
>@ And now I'm in catperson and blue people land and I don't mean deranged olivebloods and folks with musclebeast fetishes here.
>@ Pennarion is weird. But I'm making some sweet bucks on the internet and no one's questioning whether I should be allowed to even open my mouth so that's kinda nice.
>@ Could totes do without the bullshit meddling about whether I have a safe living space and am studying for the comps and stuff and all. Bluh.

 

Yeah I hear ya bro
I'm sure you'll get into engineering if you drop 'em a line they're pretty chill down there!

 

Dainn: "Spare my virgin ears. Dvalinn and Uror already have us stuffed plenty."


Dvalinn: *snickering*


Uror: "Are you sure you want to continue that metaphor, Dainn? Are you sure?"


Dainn: "What? What's so funny to you clowns?"

Veroandi: "Whoa, you're a super big robot!"


Uror: "Not sure anyone here counts, though! We've all got the whole dreamspace thing going on. Our guild isn't really meeting any aliens in our own world."

 

Mi?

 

...uh...what?..

 

[Encouraged, thankful wingflutter]

 

>@ Planet I'm stuck on right now is populated mainly by weird tan and brown aliens with cat ears and weird blue skinned people, lovey.
>@ Aliens. The gift taht keeps on giving.

 

[Encouraging, friendly flutter, accompanied by a bright smile. Yesgood, friend is less scared!]
