Three Knitted Giant Ties

[grimmdark]

Around Mayfield, daytime. Open to all.

[There is a giant Rose walking down the street. Streets, sometimes. She seems to be pretty calm considering she's suddenly bigger than she could ever be, but this is Rose we are talking about. At least her clothes grew with her. God bless long concealing 50's skirts and stupidly long dark socks too.

Perhaps you see her pass? Perhaps she stood on your car. Or maybe she's about to squish you to death? Either way you should let her know. Out of all the weirdness going on she doesn't really mind this bit that she has to live through. She's almost smiling without trying to hiding it, even, but that's mostly because only the rest of the giant population would be able to tell, and those are easy to spot.]

I doubt so, if they are the result of training and aren't of the supernatural sort you should retain whatever nimbleness you had before arrival. Not that it makes it any hard to strike an orange talking feathery mass when I am more than capable of kicking a house to the other side of the street.

Yet no less challenging, I assume. Killing new and more interesting things goes more into accordance with human behavior though.

I'll have my secretary contact yours and they can work something out.

Yeah you know it. I'm just throwing out the wisdom today like free t shirts. Loaded up my t-shirt cannon and just going wild raining down five dollars shirts of knowledge no one would ever actually wear but desperately want anyway. Better be careful not to get popped in the face, these things are known to take out eyes.

Well I also wasn't a bird upon arrival and how the fuck can you call anything about Bro natural or subnatural?

Sorting algorithm of evil and all that? So guess we should expect even worse things to follow.

[heardeadpe0ple.livejournal.com]

You'll most likely see them around. It's hard not to notice a few of them. They kind of stick out a bit.

That would most likely mean leaving here. But I am sure when we meet, it'll be delightful. I mean when we meet at the sun. We've met now!

[chastesaw]

Unfortunately, for all that he unnerves me, the other residents of my hive have done nothing to warrant becoming collateral damage, particularly when anything we are capable of doing to him will be undone in a day. Consequently my veto stands.

Rose are you inviting me to spend a nocturnal cycle taking respite at your human hive?

[grimmdark]

My guy will call your guy. Appropriate figure of speech, perhaps.

What are those shirts made of? Scraps from your strife specibus? I am no authority but I think it's inadvisable to propel half bladekinds via canon all over the town. Not if you are attempting to one up Mayfield usual shenanigans.

[grimmdark]

You weren't? And what could you be after you ended up here stranded with us then? And Bro is a completely separated category on his own. I can't even fathom to pretend I understand his inner workings.

As usual, it can only go downhill from here. Down to the depths of Erebus, and unto the chill of the waters of Styx, which by now I would not be entirely dumbfounded to discover are comprised of daily milk.

[grimmdark]

Horns and gray skin make them easy to notice, like it or not. They are also substantially easier to avoid, though.

That is true. Dave himself left this place for a number of months, I think, and he ended up here once again, although I believe others leave for much a shorter timespan and return with memories of events from their worlds.

[grimmdark]

I therefore declare you a party pooper of the first order. Do you trolls have a designated name for the one supposed to keep a person from committing unneeded acts, be them of violence or otherwise? Or is it only something you take pleasure to do?

Perhaps, if you think that would be acceptable. I have spent most of my life in a secluded location on my own planet, therefore I lack some vital experience in terms of bonding with those of my age and gender.

[chastesaw]

I would hope that I would not be the only one of us possessing both basic troll decency as well as simple common sense, but there are times I wonder.

Hm. This may be yet another thing we have in common, albeit for wholly different reasons.

[grimmdark]

And wonder you shall, because it seems like an unlikely match among your kind. Although I can tell they are both present in others, one usually takes over the other. Or Karkat is simply too angry to think clearly, which is regrettable.

Not the first and certainly not the last of the perplexing similarities we all share, as it would seem.

[heardeadpe0ple.livejournal.com]

I wonder why this place continues to pull us back and forth. It seems kind of silly to go and do that instead of just letting us stay back at home or keeping us here.

[grimmdark]

It doesn't seem to make any sense to me neither, but there is little we can do about it. Although now that everyone is here, I suppose all we can do is hope the handlers of this place don't see fit to separate us again.

[heardeadpe0ple.livejournal.com]

I hope not! I like that all my friends are together. [That isn't an asteroid hiding from Jack.]

And this place is kind of fun.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a lot of calling is about to go down.

Yeah I wear shirts made out of swords. It gets kind of uncomfortable at times but what are a few flesh wounds for the sake of making a sharp fashion statement. Why, do you want one?

[nolongeralpha.livejournal.com]

I mean, I wasn't a bird before arriving, so it's no stretch to think I might not keep my ninja reflexes.

What's everyone's deal with the milk here anyway?

[grimmdark]

Likewise, I am happy to be able to see them all in the same place without the world needing to end.

Fun is a very optimistic way to see thing, but it might be just me.

[grimmdark]

A business' importance is directly proportional to the number of calls and diversions it precedes to its actual realization.

I am deeply sorry, but I must decline the offer. I would also rather you refrain from such potentially cutting edge statements while sitting on the palm of my hand.

[grimmdark]

Of course you weren't. For a moment I considered the idea you were Dave-shaped before being crow shaped, but that makes little to no sense. And that as well hasn't proven to be detrimental to the workings of Mayfield at large.

It kills people. With razors.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Of course. Gotta act like we've got better things to do, you're just some chump charity case I'll get around to when I can squeeze you in. Can't make it obvious I'm just sitting on my ass in an empty office playing Solitaire all day.

No it's okay I'm just glad you get my point. But okay I'll try to cut down on the displays of razor wit and just sort of hang. Where are we going anyway.

[heardeadpe0ple.livejournal.com]

I find it fun. There's no gates or meteors or your lusus being killed for the sake of the session.

And they haven't really harmed us yet.

[nolongeralpha.livejournal.com]

Nah I pretty much woke up covered in feathers the moment I got here. Well, more feathers.

So when the milk goes bad here it means business, huh?

[grimmdark]

Therefore I shall treat you as a very unfortunate charity case I have not been able to delegate so far, and by now it would look highly unprofessional to turn down. Although I shall part from the similarities due to the fact I could very well spend my time knitting.

Very much appreciated. And I hadn't made my mind just yet. Anywhere you want to go?

[grimmdark]

Instead there is just all the pointless death you can imagine and next to no chances of escape. Certainly an improvement that shouldn't be overlooked.

I beg your pardon, for how long have you been here?

[grimmdark]

Maybe you will be able to regain your human-sprite-crow appearance further down the line. I think you would appreciate the use of opposable thumbs, if not of arms at all.

Only that the milk was never fresh to begin with.
