Look. We should talk. And 8efore you say it, I get that you pro8a8ly won't want to. 8lah 8lah spider8itch 8lah.
8ut if you do this I will leave you alone. For a while.
Deal?

To: Victor Mancha
Subject: (none)
You need to tell me what the fuck that was all a8out.
I'm not saying I'm going to hold it against you.
8ut I am saying you owe me an explanation.

To: The Doctor (Tenth)

8ut thank you.


[ And then you painfully ponder saying anything in public, which doesn't seem advisable at the moment, but whatever the fuck. This situation can't get any worse. Just, maybe, more awkward. ]

Uh. As much as I h8 to 8e out on the network right now. Two things.
One, how much does it cost to replace a 8usted phone?
Two, has anyone heard from Karkat? What happened to that guy.

Resignation, huh? I guess I get it.
What a mess.

[hypertoxic]

Let me put it this way.
I tried to kill two of your other employees and one of them is pretty pissed at me right now.
And may8e normally I'd 8e perfectly fine with giving them hell!
8ut I don't think it's the 8est idea at the moment.
So what happened to you?

text message;

[thneed]

You're probably right. That sounds pretty unlucky.
Me? Uh. I might have killed half the forest. I'm just going to stay in my house for the rest of the week.
Or year. Whichever.

Don't drink any water without running it through a filter a couple of times. Trust me.

[hypertoxic]

Hahahaha! That is actually a pretty accur8 description. That was a8out as unlucky as I've ever 8een.
Anyway, wow. And I thought what I did was 8ad. You pretty much take the sugary confection here.
So I will take your advice on that one. ::::P
8ut, uh.
I dunno. Let me know if you have another opening whenever? Just, you know. L8er.

[thneed]

At least you weren't really gross like a giant fly or a caterpillar or something.
Or me. You could've been me. You're not the unluckiest when it comes to super-powered lotteries.

Oh yeah, sure. I'll probably always have some kind of opening so yeah.

text message;

[hypertoxic]

I think mostly a spider is still pretty gross.
How did you manage to kill half the forest, 8y the way?
Anyway, that's good to know. To 8e honest, I don't actually want to quit! 8ut considering everything that just happened I need to stay away for a while. I guess I'm trying to take the high road? ::::\ Whatever that means. If I'm even doing it right! 8luh.

[thneed]

Spiders eat the flies though so. Less gross but still gross.
...Pollution. I had the complete opposite of plant-powers.

Yeah, I'm giving everybody the week off anyway since everything's a big mess.
It means being better...I think? I wouldn't know if you're doing it right but trying should count for something, right? My mom always said it never did but trying leads eventually getting it so I think you'll know eventually if you keep at it.

[hypertoxic]

Do we really need to develop a grossness scale here for precisely how disgusting I was?
Uh. Wow. Those are may8e the shittiest powers I have ever heard of, unless you just really h8 nature or something.
Oh. That sure is a thing. Ok. I will let you know when I can come 8ack. I don't mind taking whatever you have availa8le. You are 8eing pretty understanding a8out this, all things considered.
Anyway. I'm not sure either! This is not normally a thing I do. Deli8er8ely try to 8e 8etter. It is weird and kind of hard to understand. 8ut I guess it is worth trying, considering how often I've 8een told that.

text message;

[thneed]

No, I do not. Moving on.
I don't hate nature so. Pretty awful.

It's not like you did anything to me. I kind of get needing to stay away and everything.
It's hard to stay away but yeah anything's worth trying! Nothing gets better if you don't care enough to try.
