DAVE: eugh DAVE: jfc this is fuckin shit. DAVE: whyyyyyyyy
KARKAT: SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK. KARKAT: NOW GAMZEE AND I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR LIKE, *A REALLY LONG TIME.* I KNEW HIM A BIT BEFORE HIS SOPOR ADDICTION BEGAN AND HE KNEW ME BEFORE MY ROMCOM ADDICTION BEGAN. KARKAT: IT'S SAFE TO SAY I KNOW A LOT ABOUT HIM, AND YES. I DID CONSIDER GAMZEE MY BEST FRIEND. KARKAT: AT TIMES THAT IS.
DAVE: what times did you consider the clown your bff??
KARKAT: THE TIMES I WASN'T SUCH A DOUCHEBAG. KARKAT: GAMZEE HAS *ALWAYS* HAD A PALE CRUSH ON ME AND HE *NEVER* KEPT IT A SECRET. HE WAS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD ABOUT WANTING TO BE MY MOIRAIL AND OBVIOUSLY THAT NEVER HAPPENED. MAINLY BECAUSE I WAS ALSO HAVING WEIRD STRANGE PALE FEELINGS FOR LIKE, TWO OTHER PEOPLE AT THE TIME. SO YEAH, OUR PALE THING DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN THEN. KARKAT: IT WAS SORT OF STARTING TO HAPPEN ON THE METEOR, BEFORE ROSE AND DAVE SHOWED UP. THEN GAMZEE WENT KILLER CLOWN MODE AND I WAS ABOUT TO PALE HIM UP BUT THEN VRISKA KNOCKED HIM OUT AND OUR PALE RELATIONSHIP NEVER CAME TO BE. KARKAT: HONESTLY, I KIND OF REGRET NOT DOING IT SOONER. MAYBE IF I DID EVERYONE WOULD'VE LIVED AND GAMZEE WOULD'VE NOT WENT CRAZY. KARKAT: I KIND OF MISS HIM.
DAVE: dude. he killed like half your friends???
KARKAT: HE ONLY KILLED EQUIUS AND NEPETA. HE JUST TOOK THE HEADS OFF OF ERIDAN, SOLLUX, FEFERI, AND TAVROS WHO WERE *ALREADY DEAD*.
DAVE: and thats supposed to make it okay??!!
KARKAT: NO. WHAT GAMZEE DID WAS WRONG AND FUCKED UP BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT MAYBE IF HE AND I DID BECOME PALEMATES SOONER THEN MAYBE THAT WOULDN'T OF HAPPENED. MAYBE EQUIUS AND NEPETA WOULDN'T OF DIED.
DAVE: yeah but your other friends did die, and wasn't like technically two of them because of eridan?? DAVE: and then eridan died bc of kanaya. DAVE: and tavros died because of vriska. DAVE: what would you have done for them??
KARKAT: I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! KARKAT: WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THEM RIGHT NOW ANYWAY!!!
DAVE: but if youre going to defend one murderer might as well defend the other ones too. find a way to stop all deaths forever. DAVE: wait, didnt kanya say she kicked gamzee in the troll balls before cutting eridan in two?? DAVE: she couldve cut them both in two.
KARKAT: OKAY DAVE, YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK YOU. I AM SO SORRY I AM HAVING CRAPPY SENTIMENTAL FEELINGS FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN EVERYTHING WAS MUCH SIMPLER AND I HAD A BETTER HOLD ON MY FRIENDS AND MY TEAM AS A WHOLE. EXCUSE ME FOR FEELING GUILTY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO DO CERTAIN ACTIONS SOONER AND HOPEFULLY STOPPING THE DEATHS OF *AT LEAST* A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS. KARKAT: YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE SLEEPING IN CANTOWN'S JAIL TONIGHT, ASSHOLE.
DAVE: listen dude, i aint saying you cant feel the way you feel for gamzee, im just saying that you and i both know what he did wouldnt of been stopped. if anything he wouldve clubbed you too. im also not saying you cant feel guilty. you have the right to feel what you feel. DAVE: but i get what youre saying. i probably, okay i *was* being a huge dick about it and probably took it overboard. DAVE: sorry. DAVE: <3?
KARKAT: ...<3. KARKAT: SORRY TOO. KARKAT: YOU CAN SLEEP AT HOME.
DAVE: see kids, all conflicts can be resolved by admitting youre wrong and apologizing. DAVE: even if youre opinions differ from someone elses. DAVE: this has been youre daily dave strider life lessons. DAVE: the more you know.
