IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT, BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY WHEN IT DID.

[ihateyouetc]

HA HA HA!
OH MAN, LOOK AT THESE SPACES BETWEEN EVERY "HA" PRECISELY PUNCTUATING THE IMPRUDENT INDIVIDUALITY INTENDED BEHIND EACH OF THE TWO LETTER EXPRESSIONS COMPOSING THE MIRTHFUL ONOMATOPOEIA I JUST WROTE.
EXCEPT THE "HA" ENDING IN A SHOUT POLE.
THAT ONE TYPICALLY DENOTES "YELLING" OR IT CAN BE AN EXCLAMATION OF "EXCITEMENT" AND "MERRIMENT."
WHICH ISN'T ACTUALLY WHAT I'M DOING AT THE MOMENT.
I'M SAYING HA HA, VERY FUCKING FUNNY IN THE WAY THAT CONVEYS "HA HA, FUCK YOU."
WHO RIGGED THIS.
I WILL FUCKING FIND YOU.
I'M NOT "ACCEPTING" SHIT AT THIS MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A GATHERING WHERE HUMANS USUALLY EXHIBIT A DISTINCT LACK OF TALENT IN THE ART OF "DANCING" WHILE AWKWARDLY FUMBLING AROUND EACH OTHER WITH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE INTENT OF EVOLVING ENOUGH NERVE TO PUT THEIR MOUTHS ON EACH OTHER BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER.
IT'S BAD ENOUGH I ACTUALLY AGREED TO GO.

[ihateyouetc]

"CONGRATS" ON WHAT???
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THE HELL THIS GUY IS.

[riseup]

souji soiuji souji.
i enver said thalnk you.

[bowlbuster]

You seem very upset.
If the dance is upsetting you that much, maybe you shouldn't go?

1/2

[ihateyouetc]

I'M NOT UPSET.
NONE OF THIS IS UPSET.
THERE IS NOTHING IN ANYTHING I'VE WRITTEN THAT SHOULD INDICATE "UPSET" IS ANYWHERE EVEN VAGUELY APPROXIMATING A FEELING I'M HAVING.
WHAT I AM IS SOMEWHERE IN THE CONCLUSIVE STAGE OF "FUCKING PISSED."

[ihateyouetc]

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING SINCE THE BEGINNING.
MAYBE I SHOULDN'T GO!
MAYBE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO.
THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY ACTUALLY LISTENS TO ME.
IN FACT, IF I DON'T SHOW UP, I HAVE EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE SOMEONE WILL COME PULL ME OUT OF MY HIVE WHILE I CLING TO THE GROUND SCREAMING, CLAWING LINES ON WHATEVER SURFACE OF THE FLOOR I'M BEING DRAGGED OVER LIKE A STUBBORN HUMAN CAT TAKING A VISIT TO A HUMAN VET.
AT THIS POINT IT'S JUST EASIER TO GO.

Don't be silly, elections are never rigged. The Coming of the Home is a democratic occasion.

[fuckincakewake]

[ihateyouetc]

OH MAN. LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
THE VOICE OF SOMEONE WHO PROBABLY RIGS SHIT LIKE THIS.

[thneed]

You didn't want to win?

[ihateyouetc]

WHY WOULD I WANT TO???
THE WHOLE THING IS JUST SOME LUDICROUS POPULARITY CONTEST THAT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER.

[squidissension]

at least people vvoted for you

[thneed]

You got votes.

[ihateyouetc]

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.
I KNOW YOU ARE BUT DON'T ACTUALLY TELL ME YOU ARE.
"PEOPLE" DIDN'T "VOTE" FOR ME. EXCEPT SOUJI I GUESS?
I'M SAYING THE WHOLE THING WAS RIGGED.
THE SYSTEM WAS INCREDIBLY FLIMSY AND UNRELIABLE.
THE ONLY REASON I'M ON THERE IS BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING IS A SHAM.
I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF WHOEVER THIS "MCCALL" GUY IS.
WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT ANYWAY.
IT'S LIKE A FAST FOOD CHAIN EXCEPT IT SPECIALIZES IN HANDING OUT "CALLS."
WHO IS IT CALLING AND WHY?
IT JUST SOUNDS STUPID.

[badnewsboy]

[notdogmatic]

I voted for you.

It is my understanding that at such occasions it is traditional for a dark horse candidate, social outcast, or underdog to receive a surprising validation; and I felt that given that social construction, you were the most deserving candidate for my vote.

[dontmccallmyname]

So I guess you're Karkat?

[ihateyouetc]

DING DING DING.
GREAT JOB. YOU FOUND A CLUE!

[ihateyouetc]

I GUESS YOU'RE MCCALL.
SORRY.
IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL BUT I COULDN'T GIVE LESS OF A FANCY FLUTTERING FUCK ABOUT ANY OF THIS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE AND I DON'T INTEND TO FIND OUT.
I'M NOT ACCEPTING WHATEVER "CROWN" THEY WANT TO GIVE US.
THIS WHOLE THING IS BULLSHIT.

[callbacks]

[ihateyouetc]
