[Accidental Video]

[geminated_man]

[ The video turns on in what appears to be the middle of an argument between the Rudys, the camera filming from a bed and from the side of an old purple shoe box, a few of the contents of which can be seen, a few bits of ribbon, a couple little trinkets, and a photo of a pretty girl in a boonie cap can be seen in the shot, resting against the side of the box. ]

Look, man! I thought we were over this! Done with it! The fuck you go and bring all this shit home for?

It wasn't my fault! I just- I-I found it, yeah? Didn't want anyone else gettin' their hands on it. God knows what they'd have done to it!

Yeah, but that's the point, man! We're over it! Over her! Done with it! She's gone, and it doesn't matter anymore, all right? Jesus Christ.

[ Rudy comes and sits on the bed, making the camera bounce a little. Other Rudy follows him, shifting awkwardly and looking at the photo in his hand. ]

Yeah, she's gone. But y'can't lie to me. I know that y'miss her. I know y'miss her because I miss her. Sure she might've gone to Simon or whatever, but- but at least we got t'see her again, yeah? And isn't that somethin'?

[ Rudy snatches the photo from his Other self and looks at it for a long moment. He sighs and slams it back in the box, pointing a finger at Other Rudy. ]

Fine. Y'can keep this shit, all right? Just don't fuckin' bring it out when I'm here. I don't wanna see any of these little- stupid hair things or any of-

Camera's on.

What?

Camera's on. [ Other Rudy nods to the camera. ] See? Little flashy light there?

Oh you've gotta be fuckin- [ Rudy grabs for the camera and quickly shuts it off. ]

i dont know whose direction to point you in first
karkat vantas or rose lalondes
though i guess itd be against the geneva conventions to throw you to roses psychofetish and karkat wouldnt get the irony
and would probably start bitching at himself about it
what would happen if you reconciled
would you just like
not be able to split anymore
