[url=https://imgur.com/a/dirk-strider-xH7DUOV][color=#F2A400]DIRK:[/url][color=#F2A400] True, the majority of the âadvanced roboticsâ that he had witnessed were directly employed by the batterwitch herself. It shouldnât be too shocking that the lower classes didnât have the same access to those things. Although, the thought of working with leftovers from Darkleerâs projects was a little exciting. At the very least, he could rest easy that what he was receiving was mostly scraps that werenât of use to him anymore. Not that it would matter, since, once again, if you can remember something, you can have access to it. If nothing else, he could hold onto any leftovers for Darkleer if he came around again. âIâll keep that in mind, but yeah Iâd appreciate any extra materials you have to offer.â[br] [br] 06:43:20
[color=#F2A400]âThatâs good. Using your full strength is a shortcut to wearing yourself out way faster than you should be. Itâs generally a poor practice, really. But it seems like youâve experienced enough battles to know that. I wouldnât mind making a few different robots for you, but itâs obviously best to start with one so that I can modify them based on performance and what works and what doesnât.â But projects should be worried about later, when there wasnât a party getting set up. Although he was really getting into the conversation and it was all pretty exciting, he felt his heart drop when she grabbed hold of his hand. His brows went up and his lips turned into a shockingly animated frown. He was in such a state of shock and dismay that he barely picked up on her also calling him the wrong name, let alone that Kankri was approaching. That is, until he spoke. His body had stiffened so much that he didnât even make a move to try pulling his hand away. 06:43:21

[url=https://imgur.com/a/Wh9Bi][color=#005682]â:[/url] [color=#005682] sheâs happy to provide anything the strider needs, as she needs none of the robotic scraps or anything. Hell she might even give him one of the other iterations of her arms she probably destroyed. She had plenty of spare arms and she doesnât need most of them anymore since she has her original one back for whatever reason. Bubble shenanigans. âI might toss in a few things I have no use for that still pro8a8ly work too, just for your enjoyment.â she wonât miss most of the stuff she gives away, she can always ask darkleer himself to make her new things if she really wanted something. [br] [br] 07:09:26
[color=#005682] âYou tend to learn over the sweeps when to use your energy and when to hold your ground, everything is considered armed and dangerous where I'm from. Whether it's a 8east or another troll everything and anything can harm and cull you. Throw them my way and iâll have my share of fun, you can watch me 8attle them if youâd like.â her attention from the conversation and that she accidentally called him darkleer gets moved for a second as kankri walks in chattering about the gift, her attention going back to dirk when he tensed up. Not realizing exactly whatâs happening or going on, clueless as to why dirk clammed up. Sheâd end up grabbing the gift from kankri with her other hand, soon letting go of dirks hand not long after so she may soon open said gift. âWe were finishing up the conversation, no need to apologize. Thank you for the gift.â 07:09:27
[url=https://imgur.com/a/roxylalonde-zxvj0][color=#ff6ff2]ROXY:[/url] [color=#ff6ff2] happy that she chose the spread she did, not realizing she was actually pretty hungry, just chilling watching dirk have a nice rant about his robots. Then at the end of the conversation mindfang grabbed his hand. The reaction dirk had given was something she remembers very well, she went from content to mortified within seconds. Sudden disaster, the lalonde trying to find the words to put together to fix this. But nothing seems to be coming out quite yet, only for kankri to come back in and make it much worse. Eventually the lalonde finally is able to speak again. âum girlie hes into manly men u know guys err no tits club sticks only gang only boys up in this clubâ she is panic rambling someone stop her, for the love of everything someone stop her. âHot single guys in ur area only bros throwin it back for the sweaty guy abs hanky panky for the wankyâ please someone cover her mouth. 07:09:41

[bgcolor=#e61515][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Sheesh, that bad, huh? What happened to that stoic bravado? Kankri, of course, stepped in because he noticed the contact, he did not believe it to be so haunting, but now that he was closer to actually SEE the shaded man's expression, it was obvious that whatever happened was far from Kankri's own distaste for general touch at times. He looked over at Mindfang for a split second, before keeping his eyes on the other human, his words addressing her, "T9 6e quite frank, I had n9 idea what it was that w9uld interest y9u, s9 if y9u find the gifts t9 6e t99 paltry 9r slapdash, y9u can always-" Roxy! Oh, thank goodness, an assistance to the current situation. Dirk's general discontent was getting offputting- [i]nevermind this is suddenly even more abysmal what in the hell is Roxy talking about???[/i][br] [br]"Uhm- R9xy-" At even the mere MENTION of 'human tits', Kankri's face flustered a little bit, because WHAT PLACE DOES IT HAVE IN THIS CONVERSATION? He swift to get over to Roxy's side and gently pat at her shoulder, in rhythm with his next words, "9kay 9kay 9kay! I 6elieve they are understanding the rather vivid and [i]96scene[/i] images y9ur w9rds are injecting in t9 their pan at this very m9ment, there is n9 need f9r further explanati9n." His hand slid down her arm and lightly took her hand in his own, "[i]Please.[/i] Why d9n't y9u tell me a69ut y9ur c9stume? What are y9u meant t9 6e, I must admit I am at a l9ss!"[br 07:49:20
As for the gifts, there were three things that awaited the Marquise: The first, a miniature of her galleon- or perhaps some vague rendition of it; Kankri never paid it much mind beyond the fact that it was PARKED RECKLESSLY! There was even a sticky note on the cute little boat: '#Parking Violation'. The second of the gifts was... a new hat. Unlike the one Mindfang was accustomed to, this one was predominantly cerulean with white accents. And last, but certainly not least, the GREATEST gift of all time. Honestly, Kankri outdid himself, he is so generous and smart and capable of burying the hatchet at a moments notice, which is why the last gift was [i][u]A PAIR OF RIGHTEOUS LEGGINGS! YAY WOOOOOO YIPPEEEE!!![/u][/i] it was black with blue streaks of course and it was at least double the size of the pair he wore, but double MAY not be enough for a troll of Mindfang's stature. 07:49:25
(nope dont care that its broken :V 07:49:37
[url=https://imgur.com/a/latula-pyrope-4d7FJnx][color=#008282]LATULA:[/url][color=#008282] There was a lot of commotion going on that she wasnât getting involved with. That is, until it got really quiet between the others. She wouldnât have minded if there wasnât the most poorly, or perhaps comedically, timed moan of âFUCK, ERIDANâ in the distance. #>8|? No clue who that was, but she decided it was time to turn on the music. Latula walked away from her spot by the snack table to set up a stereo and turn it up so that it would muffle any sounds in other parts of the house. 07:49:53
[url=https://imgur.com/a/dirk-strider-xH7DUOV][color=#F2A400]DIRK:[/url][color=#F2A400] Thankfully, the horror didnât last long, or even fully go in the direction he had anticipated. He let out a long exhale, his severe expression dissipating just before Roxy came over and started talking. God, and he thought that Mindfang forcefully kissing him was the worst possible outcome in that situation. Although some of the things she said [i]were[/i] funny, it was still embarrassing for someone to be airing out his sexuality to people he had just barely met. Especially since he was the type of person to not enjoy putting a label on it. At the very least, he did appreciate her efforts to avoid using antediluvian terms, her rambling honestly didnât make it much better.[br] [br] 08:02:03
[color=#F2A400]Dirk let out one of those sharp exhale kind of laughs, expression back to the usual stoic one he usually wore. âRight. I think they get the idea. Thanks, Rox.â He lifted his hand to rest it on Roxyâs shoulder. âI appreciate the effort, but, uh, maybe letâs not use such⊠Colorful language.â The problem obviously would have solved itself, but he couldnât get mad at Roxy when she was obviously trying to stand up for him and prevent an even more uncomfortable situation. He turned his attention back towards Kankri, eyeing him up behind his shades. Looks like the guy didnât end up changing. Maybe this was his costume? Who knows. It seemed a little low-effort. And then he heard it, someone most definitely getting it on down the hall. Thankfully, if they planned on getting any louder, they hopefully wouldnât hear it, since the rad troll girl decided to finally turn on some tunes. Heâs going to pretend he didnât just hear that. 08:02:03
[url=https://imgur.com/a/Wh9Bi][color=#005682]â:[/url] [color=#005682] So much had been going on around her all at once, trying to open her giftbag and hearing roxy go on and on about how dirk is into males. With a small sigh, sheâd look over at roxy. âI understand, it was a force of ha8it i did not mean to incite upset 8etween anyone or give mixed signals. I use to hold darkleers hand sometimes whilst talking about robotics if he was not actively already tinkering with something, it made us 8oth feel 8etter. I apologize, though I did enjoy the memory also, your hand was pleasantly warm. I will try not to do so without permission in the future dirk.â Now that she has said her piece on that, back to trying to get into the giftbag as it was kind of quiet, then hearing karkat yelling âfuck eridanâ, only for her eye to catch a teal blood she hadnât realized was in the room yet move to turn on music to drown out the two rowdy trolls having fun in a different room. Once she got a better look at the teal it looked like a smaller version of redglare. No, no more distractions just yet.[br] [br] 08:26:33
[color=#005682]Time to finally open her long awaited gift bag, taking as much as the paper out carefully and setting it aside, grabbing her first item. A close enough miniature of her galleon, it had a note on it that said â#PARKING VIOLATIONâ. Setting the miniature galleon aside, sheâd pull out the other thing in her bag, she has no clue what the hell this is. Pants? Close enough, in her colors though they might not fit, sheâd have to test them. Setting it aside, finally taking the note off the galleon, looking kankri in the eyes and ripping it into shreds. Sprinkling them onto the floor, grabbing her new gifts and placing them back into the bag with their intended paper. âI appreciate the gift, I am uncertain about the pants? Fitting me 8ut thatâs fine.â her attention turned toward latula for a moment. âThank you for the noise to cancel out the unfortunate noise, I understand you are not redglare even though you seem to like almost exactly like her.â 08:26:34
[url=https://imgur.com/a/roxylalonde-zxvj0][color=#ff6ff2]ROXY:[/url] [color=#ff6ff2] She was still a little tense after the panic rambles, not that she was purposely trying to embarrass one of her close friends or air out his sexuality. She just kind of blurted out some semblance of word vomit trying to convey a message that she wasnât even prepared to actively convey herself, feeling kankri pat her on the back whilst trying to get her to calm down was helping a little bit although it felt like she wasnât able to fully hear what he was saying in the moment. After his hand slid down and went to hold her own hand, it was like a slight weight had lifted off her chest, she hadnât realized she was holding her breath until now. A sigh of relief, finally being able to listen a bit better. Hearing that kankri had no idea what her costume was about. [br] [br] before she could answer kankri, dirk would rest his own hand on her shoulder. It actually made her feel a lot better about the situation, especially since mindfang explained it wasnât her trying to actively kiss dirk or cause him actual upset. âsorry idk what came over me i think i was havin flashbacks or somethin but uh yea ill stop now oh an kankri uh my costume im a cat wizard in a school uniform but are u gonna get in a costume or is that ur costume i forgot 2 ask that earlierâ shes unsure if that was his costume or if he just likes the crab pajamas. 08:46:42

[bgcolor=#e61515][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Kankri's mind was a little all over the place, he THOUGHT he may have heard Karkat's voice for a second, but it was immediately flushed out by Latula bumping up the music- oh, right, Latula is here, he should go talk to her, ask if she's gonna wear a costume or not, but for now he was focused on making sure Roxy wasn't completely scatter-brained. His attention is snatched away at the sound of paper ripping, squinting at Mindfang's destruction of his sticky note. Let us add LITTERING to her list of offenses, shall we? "Perhaps they will, may6e they will n9t, I have n9t studied y9ur figure en9ugh t9 kn9w h9w well I've cali6rated the size. If there are any issues with circulati9n, d9 n9t hesitate t9 let me kn9w." He, of course, didn't realize Dirk was sizing him up for like the 2nd time, Kankri is just a happy crabby customer in his crabby-print onesie! Even if he isn't smiling, he is very content, turning his attention back to Roxy, "9h, I see, that is quite creative, y9u l99k quite cute. I c9uld make 9ut the cat 6its and the unif9rm, 6ut it seemed rather specific, s9 I was curi9us."[br] [br]Kankri thought for a moment on the question, "Hm. N9, this 9ld thing is n9t my c9stume, I have s9mething else planned, this is just s9mething have n9t had much an 9pp9rtunity t9 wear, s9 I decided t9 change that 6ef9re pl9tting the party 9ut with Aradia." 00:46:57
[url=https://imgur.com/a/latula-pyrope-4d7FJnx][color=#008282]LATULA:[/url][color=#008282] Latula hadnât been paying too much attention to what everyone else was doing, until she heard someone thanking her for turning on some music. At the mention of redglare, she let out a small laugh. âh4h4, w3ll t3chn1c4lly 1 k1nd4 4m 4ccord1ng to po-m4ry 4nd 4r4n34 but th4td b3 1n 4noth3r t1m3l1n3 or som3th1ng. 1 dunno t1m3 4nd sp4c3 sh3n4n1g4nz 4r3 pr3tty cr4zy lolz!â She decided to go set up a couple DDR systems off to the side for maximum party gaming potential. It seemed like they were all having their own little pow wow so she didnât want to jam herself into it. 01:04:19
[url=https://imgur.com/a/dirk-strider-xH7DUOV][color=#F2A400]DIRK:[/url][color=#F2A400] Dirk generally didnât mind some minor physical affection between pals, but considering he had just met the woman and didnât know much about her, it was a lot more difficult for him to judge what she might do. At the very least, he had some assurance now that she wouldnât be grabbing him or making any moves on him. Either way, he was more-or-less on the same page as Roxy in the flashbacks department. âYeah, Iâd appreciate a warning in the future, at the very least.â[br] [br] 01:12:05
[color=#F2A400]He shifted his attention towards Latula briefly, giving a thumbs up in approval at how fast she was to resolve the unpleasant sound problem. His gaze would then return to Roxy and Kankri to listen in on their conversation. On one hand, it seemed like a good thing that Kankri had an actual costume planned, even though just wearing a onesie as some kind of ironic get-up would have been pretty funny. On the other, it was pretty shocking that this guy was willing to unironically just wear a onesie out in the open. Dirk had no qualms against some comfy PJs, but it still seemed ridiculous to wear them in front of others. 01:12:05

[url=https://imgur.com/a/porrim-maryam-05UgcLV][color=#008141]PORRIM:[/color][/url][color=#008141] Time spent lounging amidst the preparations of a party was nice, since she had decided to spare herself from getting involved with their endeavors, but there is only so much down-time one can have before beginning to feel a little bored. Porrimâs gaze drifted to the doorway when a new troll appeared, her ears twitching as she listened to him. Parts of what he said were lost to her from across the room, what with the blaring music Latula had started up. However, when another Kankri entered alongside him and almost instantaneously began a lecture, she decided that maybe she should actually get up and offer to give the poor troll a more comfortable experience.[br] [br] 02:41:37
[color=#008141]Up she stood from her plush seating, making her way across the room to insert herself in between the pair. âI canât say yo+u will be avo+iding all fo+rms o+f âdebaucheryâ aro+und here, but I can at the very least assure yo+u that tho+se who+ frequent this place are, fo+r the mo+st part, very co+ngenial. Of co+urse, there are⊠Exceptio+ns.â Her gaze tilted towards the new Kankri, her lips curving up into a small smile. âIt wo+uld be nice if yo+u were capable o+f relaxing, as well, Kanny. I think it wo+uld do+ yo+u nicely to+ give yo+urself and perhaps o+thers a break. Perhaps Iâm being to+o+ persumptio+us, tho+ugh?â 02:41:38

After all, there's a certain level 9f c9ngeniality that c9mes with understanding y9u cann9t tr9unce a69ut and dictate unt9 9thers what is seld9m, if ever at all, dictated unt9 y9u.

His eyes narrowed and his lips stiffened after speaking. Of COURSE there would be a Porrim here. Just his luck, too, he wouldn't escape her notice for more than a fleeting sermon's span.[/color] 02:47:10

I am STRONGLY opposed to having to be caught between two bodies in indecent clashing. All of that. Force. That palpable colliding. I shriek at the mere thought of what might become of me...crammed into such a tight and unseemly predicament..." Equius lost his train of thought. It derailed and collapsed, causing millions in collateral damage and subsequent thought lawsuits. Try as the brain corporation might to recoup losses, he was morally, and cognitively, bankrupt. Stiffening his posture somewhat and jutting his jaw out, he amended the aforementioned. "...Instead...I should ask for a blank slate. That we might converse as if equals, at least insofar as familiarity. A tabula rosa accord. That way I could get to not know you all better, before I get to know you better. Does this sound as if a fair exchange?"[/color] 02:51:33

[url=https://imgur.com/a/porrim-maryam-05UgcLV][color=#008141]PORRIM:[/color][/url][color=#008141] It had been quite a while since she had gotten the opportunity to hear Kankri go off on such an overly convoluted rant, or even poke at her promiscuous endeavors, that it got more and more difficult to take him seriously. Usually, she probably would have gotten irritated, but it had been a while since she had experienced Kankri in his full-blown never-let-loose persona. She lifted a hand to delicately press her fingertips over her lips as her lips twitched, doing her best to prevent herself from laughing. This party was definitely turning out to be rather entertaining, already. âIâm no+t so+ sure many o+thers wo+uld think o+f any experiences I have to+ o+ffer as anything less than fo+rtuito+us. At the very least, I am capable o+f helping them fo+rget abo+ut their wo+rries fo+r so+me time. But I wo+nât dwell o+n that, fo+r no+w.â Porrim turned her attention to Equius again, resting her hand on her hip. âDo+nât wo+rry, I do+ubt Kankri wo+uld enjo+y the implicatio+ns o+f needing so+meo+ne to+ intermediate between him and I, o+f all peo+ple.â Although, personally, Porrim wouldnât mind too much getting more involved with Kankri. âBut I agree, I wo+uld be mo+re than happy to+ get to+ kno+w yo+u better. I certainly canât find it in me to+ reject so+meo+ne who+ appears so+...â Although she lacked pupils, anyone could tell that she was eyeing Equius up and down. âVigo+ro+us.â 03:08:00
[color=red]KANKRI: "VIG9R9US?" Kankri clamored. His eyes seemed widened enough to spring free from his skull, mouth agape, and wrists bent up against the sides of his hips. He was flummoxed, flabbergasted, incensed, enraged. "As if t9 insinuate that WASN'T s9me s9rt 9f c9mparative. Y9u kn9w, disparaging remarks a69ut 9ne's virility are singlehandedly c9ntri6uting t9 the male l9neliness epidemic pervading 9ur time.

Kankri remarked in a shrill sort of rebuking. His tightly wadded, balled up paper fists crumpled against his leggings as they competed with his thigh flesh and the fabric of his pants for dominance over the surface of his body. Bare knuckles nearly bruised themselves, kneading with agile little agitated strikes as he puffed both his cheeks out, fuming.[/color] 03:18:20
[color=red]"It's als9 deeply distur6ing that the first remark y9u have t9wards an indig9 6l99d, a hist9rically underprivileged and utterly s9cietally fetishized caste, is the supp9sed virility that is stere9typed int9 every dr9p in their 6lue-hued veins!

[color=#000056]D --> Equius smiled. His eyes darted between Kankri and Porrim only briefly before he smiled wider. The rumor mill was spinning, spreading, and leaking, spillage everywhere. It did not take a sprung leak from such a gossipmongering mill, however, to soak him entirely, as sweat began to sear and single out his skin to trickle along in utterly unmistakable banded little beads of sweat. Gritting his teeth, summoning his courage, and cracking his fists together, Equius e%tended out a hand of defiant disinterest. "FEAR NOT! I am in no need of such irreverent defense. I am plenty capable of facing the burden of my caste of my own merits. I am of the mind that I do not. Mind, that is. Whatever comments this fetching female specimen has for me are irrelevant entirely to the truth of what I am. Vigorous? Perhaps. In distress? Hardly. There is nothing either of you could do to strip me of the control I e%ercise over myself at all times uncompromisingly. Unless. You ordered me not to." Equius supposed, waggling a finger through the air as if in philosophical thought. "But such a breach of protocol would be irrevocably unfounded. Entirely unnecessary. Almost. Invasive. But nothing I could not handle entirely on my own, small mutant." He remarked, almost pointedly blowing air through his fierce nostrils at Kankri.[/color] 03:26:54

[url=https://imgur.com/a/porrim-maryam-05UgcLV][color=#008141]PORRIM:[/color][/url][color=#008141] If she had pupils, she would be rolling her eyes. Although she felt no need to defend herself in regards to her enjoyment of the comforts of intimacy, it always felt like the majority of Kankris went above and beyond to not only lecture her, but also ignore what issues that she found problematic all at the same time. âAs interesting as it is that yo+u find yo+urself o+bserving my derriere so+ diligently, Kanny, I really do+nât think itâs up fo+r anyo+ne, let alo+ne yo+u, to+ decide whether so+meo+ne sho+uld be willing to+ co+nsider my advances. That is, unless yo+u are really [i]that[/i] adamant o+n getting invo+lved in my sex life.â Her own rebuttals stopped when Equius spoke up again, her gaze returning to the indigo. He most certainly [i]was[/i] a Zahhak, with all of that sweat. Although she wouldnât mind giving him some commands, there was definitely a time and place for that. The jadeâs expression softened once again as a tiny giggle escaped her lips.[br] [br] 03:57:54
[color=#008141]âFo+r the reco+rd, my co+mment had no+thing to+ do+ with yo+ur hue. I was merely referring to+ the fact that yo+u seem particularly muscular.

[color=red]KANKRI: "OBSERVING your derriere? INVOLVED in your sex life? Porrim, mind you, and, mind you, I really really do, that is to say, I quite mind you, I cannot be UNinvolved! There is no safety hatch, no escape switch, no emergency safeword, no opt-out do-not-call no solicitors or solicitations list, no means of practically avoiding your all-engulfing ass's sheer enormity, butting into just about everything and everyone who ever so much as bats you an eyelash or ill-advised instance of eyeing up and down, or any direction absent of another! Do you realize how hypocritical you sound? No one consented to having to undress you with their eyes, literal actual all-out-ass-avalanche-imposing assault by the way, or to have you mill about with your distracting hindquarters in the frontquarters of anyone with functioning ganderglobes. It is as though you have to be seated at the face of anyone who wants to make real change, without any abounds or objections to shaking things up, getting movement abound, and putting the past behind them. In its place, your dogmatic rear assumes the topical tyranny atop all else, because of YOUR insistence, NOT my fixation." Kankri remarked, snidely smiling and jousting his finger out at Porrim as though he genuinely believed every word were some clever triumph and point total incrementally increased over Porrim, and not a self-indictment every syllable.[/color] 04:04:18

[color=#000056]EQUIUS: D --> "...I fear the mutant has me beat in terms of idle prattle and flattery. I had not realized we were competing. And yet. He has taken the upper hand. But like all hands, my INSURMOUNTABLE SURLY should be enough to SURELY knock his back into place. That place being any place but here. I am my own master. This jadeb100d has made abundantly clear her intentions to not have any intentions I did not ask for. That means, YOU, the one called Kankri...must go at it alone." Equius scoffed. His hand sealed about the wrist of Kankri's hand before it made contact with Porrim an additional offending time. Without the need to so much as snarl, he tilted his head back and gently eased his grip, though perfectly aware he had likely tenderized the flesh at the touch. "...But when it comes to supplication, I cannot be substituted. And I will not lose. While you strike from the rear quarters with all the cowardly compunction of a craven little sweater-dweller, I attack the enemy head-on, with all the lethal proficiency of an archeradicator." Dragging his hand to line up a single outwardly e%tended digit with Porrim, Equius grinned. "You have hair. Nicely...te%tured hair. If I were bald. I would buy it from you. And I would not pass judgement were you to shave it off, all of it. Because I would collect every incremental pilose piece and glue it back together in effigy of your BODACIOUS BEAUTY."[/color] 04:09:07

[url=https://imgur.com/a/porrim-maryam-05UgcLV][color=#008141]PORRIM:[/color][/url][color=#008141] The more Kankri spoke, the more Porrim was starting to think she was supposed to be getting upset at this. Her rear wasnât even that big!... Was it? But before she could even think of taking any of what he was saying negatively, it started to sound a lot more self-incriminating than [i]actually[/i] insulting. Kankri was practically admitting to looking at her lecherously. At least, that was certainly how it was coming across. As smug as Kankri looked, Porrim wasnât sure that he was even processing what it sounded like he was saying. In a way, the thought that Kankri was even capable of looking at her like that was a bit exciting, although strange. If she had been Latula, maybe it would have been more believable, but she was actually quite taken aback. âYo+u kno+w⊠I do+nât think Iâm capable o+f âfo+rcingâ anyo+ne to âundress me with their eyes.â I do+nât exactly have any abilities that wo+uld allo+w me to+ even influence so+meo+ne to+ do+ so+. In fact, I think yo+u may very be o+ne o+f the first to+ mentio+n experiencing such sentiments.â[br] [br] 04:53:14
[color=#008141]It had been awhile since she was actually on the receiving end of such behavior, even if it was starting to just look like an excuse to compete over something. Equius was very obviously not accustomed to this, but his silly metaphors were charming in their own way. In all honesty, she wasnât exactly sure how to even address his words. Instead, she finally let out a laugh, a vague hint of jade rising to her cheeks from all of the attention. âAltho+ugh I do+ no+t plan o+n getting rid o+f my hair, I am very flattered that yo+u wo+uld be willing to+... Craft an effigy in ho+no+r o+f it?â Her fingers rested against her own chin as she shifted her gaze between the two. It was hard to suppress her desire to not only tease Kankri further, but also be even more outwardly promiscuous. âYo+uâve just reminded me, Iâve yet to+ pro+perly intro+duce myself. My name is Po+rrim. I do+ ho+pe yo+u will remember it.â She lifted her hands, gently cradling Equiusâ between them. It didnât seem like she minded how sweaty his hand was, or at the very least she may be very good at hiding it. 04:53:14
((okay phew 04:53:20
[color=#000056]EQUIUS: D --> "...Ah. I hadn't asked." Equius remarked, leaving an uncomfortable duration of time before clearing his throat and abruptly narrowing his eyes with a STRONG rebound. "And what inconsolable grief I feel at the realization of this fact! I will ask! From now on, even if your name is truly known, it wasn't known that it was unknown to me in this fleeting moment, and I almost never had it! To think, we could have bonded, and I would have neither name nor reason to call you! Because my lips don't know the shape!" The brute had an air of a100fness about him that he was almost entirely unaware of, his genuinely distressed eyes creeping over his glasses for just a moment before being banished behind the ebony shades. Grinding his teeth in his mouth as though chewing cud, he thumbed over his chin and began to employ a more leisurely approach. Her touch soothed and enticed, and so, bewitched, he leaned further. "Woman. You inspire my pores to perspire. My body is crying over you. And they are tears. Of joy. And terror. Mostly joy. But terror also."[/color] 05:00:38
[color=red]KANKRI: "ARE Y9U 6EING C9MPLETELY SERI9US RIGHT N9W, P9RRIM?! Un6elieva6le!

Despite the way he floundered about, hips still beaten with his fists as he twitched, and huffed, puffed, and prematurely exhausted himself, Kankri was not doing hot. He furiously ran his hand through his hair, seeming to be unusually perturbed by Porrim in particular. "I d9n't need s9me kind 9f hall-pass style permissive system where y9u check in with me a69ut y9ur partners.

[url=https://imgur.com/a/porrim-maryam-05UgcLV][color=#008141]PORRIM:[/color][/url][color=#008141] To be fair, there wasnât much of a chance to ask when Kankri had come in and turned everything into a federal issue. Not that that was out of the usual for him, but it made standard conversation more difficult. Although, Equius was shockingly poetic in the way that he spoke. Even if his choice of words was a little outlandish, to say the least. In all honesty, though, she hadnât [i]genuinely[/i] anticipated any form of reciprocation from the Zahhak. As compelling as it was to imagine what kind of effect someone with the strength of a Zahhak could have on her, Kankri managed to pull her attention away despite Equius having leaned in closer to her. What was he going on about now? First he was trying to defend Equius, and now he was openly insulting him? She hadnât seen him this angry since perhaps the times she tried to wipe grubsauce off his face without warning.[br] [br] 05:56:04
[color=#008141]She stared down at him for what could have felt like an eternity before her lips parted to speak again. âYo+uâre making it so+und as tho+ugh yo+u were genuinely trying to+ seduce me. Even tho+ugh yo+u were do+ing a rather po+o+r jo+b in do+ing so+, if that [i]is[/i] the case, I was simply respecting that yo+u wo+uld rather me no+t [i]o+penly[/i] appro+ach yo+u with tho+se intentio+ns.â Porrim gingerly retreated her hands, pulling a handkerchief from her sylladex to clean the sweat from her hands out of courtesy before reaching down to defend Kankriâs chest from his own fist before ducking her head down to whisper in his ear, insuring that her voice wouldnât be heard by others. âI wo+uld be mo+re than happy to+ succo+mb to+ whatever yo+uâd have o+f me, if yo+u wo+uld simply be ho+nest abo+ut me with what yo+u want.â A soft giggle left her lips as she resumed her proper posture, running her tongue over her fangs. âI believe that I am mo+re than willing to+ allo+w either o+f yo+u a go+o+d time, but as I said befo+re, I will no+t be fo+rcing myself o+nto+ anyo+ne, no+ matter ho+w [i]desperately[/i] I may want them.â Porrimâs gaze landed pointedly on Kankriâs face when she said the last bit, but she was quick to return her gaze to shifting more neutrally between the two male trolls in front of her. 05:56:04

But now was as good a time as any to make it known that she was, in fact, awake! She sat up, moving the jacket off of her and setting it aside as she glanced around at the chaos with her usual big grin. âwow its definitely getting pretty lively in here isnt it!â She was going to ignore that half of it was due to people arguing. 06:05:33
[url=https://imgur.com/a/UnSdp][color=#6A006A]CRONUS:[/url] [color=#6A006A] He had been here the whole time just watching the shit show unfold, every minute it had gotten worse. The horrors heâs seen and endured today have been absolutely soul crushing, his dead eyes need to be ripped out and boiled.

His hands curled into meteoric fists that soared through the air and collided with nothing, as he wrung his hands, as if trying to extract blood from an invisible stone. He laughed, in a brief fit of sarcastic hysterics. "D9 y9u think I want t9 sit here and plead f9r scraps, sec9nd helpings 9f a sl9ppier variety than whatever every9ne else is getting?

[color=red]KANKRI: His expression twisted in anguished annoyance, as he struggled to cycle through his memories for words, actions, sensations, sounds. It didn't take long. But it didn't look particularly pleasant, either. Resurfacing recollection seemed to briefly pacify him, before winding him up again all over, bellicose and eyes fiery with aggrieved intensity. "It didn't particularly matter what we talked a69ut. S9metimes it was pe9ple we sparsely knew the first thing a69ut, 9thers it was ne'er-d9-wells we'd kn9wn since 9ur earliest rec9llecti9ns. 6ut what did matter is that we were always right, and they were always wr9ng. There was a rhythm t9 it. A steady rhythm, like a war drum. Y9u w9uld c9me hive and unleash v9lley after v9lley 9f v9cifer9us taked9wns - and we had it all scri66led d9wn, neat and tidy f9r imm9rtal rec9llecti9n. I'd lay sprawled at y9ur feet, excitedly j9tting every w9rd, as th9ugh each m9ment w9uld 6leed int9 the next f9r perpetuity. And then. Y9u g9t h9rny. Y9u 6ecame like every 9ther sweaty ad9lescent we ever m9cked. Y9u 6ecame 6eh9lden t9 y9ur self-righte9us causes and 6aseless 6eliefs. And where did that leave me?!? 6urned! A 699kend! Always wr9ng, while y9u, s9meh9w, managed t9 find y9urself, still, always in the right!" He huffed. He breathed. He exhaled, and then inhaled, then recoiled, as though he had struck somebody. He hadn't realized how verbal his thoughts were here. [/color] 06:14:55

[url=https://imgur.com/a/eridan-ampora-n572hKH][color=#6A006A]ERIDAN:[/url][color=#6A006A] Lo and behold, an Ampora and a Vantas emerge out into the hall, both of their persons sufficiently disheveled despite their attempts to make it seem like they weren't just in the next room learning what it means to fill a pail. Eridan would be the first to waltz back into the living room, paying no mind to the other patrons new and old in a feeble attempt to maybe escape any sort of questionnaire anyone might have or even to escape the absolute shit show happening right in front of his very dead eyes. He'd grab the length of scarf around his neck, adjusting it as he walked over to the table that he was hanging around minutes or hours (who knows) prior. Looking over the spread it was almost appetizing to look at considering how much of a sweat he and Karkat had worked up. 06:16:39

[url=https://imgur.com/a/Wh9Bi][color=#005682]â:[/url] [color=#005682] honestly sheâs more than happy to explain her case, talking is what she âbelievesâ she can do best. âI shall try to remem8er and warn you as for this not to happen again.â Doing one of the most heinous acts, which could be considered a hate crime and a war crime, The marquise should be executed for such egregious actions! Littering, she tore up paper and threw it on an already dirty floor. She knows these leggings will not fit her. She will pretend for now they have a chance. âI will try them on later with you present and for your specification i will change 8y myself and then you can see. I do not need more scolding from you over pants.â [br] [br] Her attention back to the pyrope, her assumption was spot on of it being her but not actually her. âYes the timelines and other egregious shenanigans against nature due to circumstances, that 8eing said i have no reason to spar with you unless you would like. I know in the past I would have pro8a8ly attempted to sta8 you just due to the fact you look like redglare.â ah yes the old, i wonât stab you is very reassuring. 06:28:19

Its nice to see she is back from her nap. 06:34:52

[bgcolor=#e61515][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] So much was transpiring, but Kankri seemed rather taken with... himself. A version of him, anyways- what happened? Why was the new arrival of himself so small? Kankri could not recall when last he may have actually been around that height, but that was neither here nor there. What was heâwell, the OTHER himâgoing on a, more than likely, well-deserved tirade about? All Kankri could say for sure was that Kankri's voice peaked at a shrill falsetto that he hadn't hit in quite some time so he just KNEW something was up, likely due to more of Maryam's SHENANIGANS, but... it was a version of HIM after all. Surely, he could regain composure and handle whatever their rainbowdrinking friend was jabbing at them with. His ears flicked a bit as his attention was reclaimed by Spinneret, seemingly ready to give a rant of his own, but Mindfang saved herself quite an earful by clarifying her the circumstances of this 'curtain call' so-to-speak. "Hm. Very well, th9se parameters are accepta6le, just give me a pr9per pr9dding t9 y9ur readiness and I will 6e willing t9 96lige in 9verseeing y9ur fitting." Kankri just hoped he didn't have to get on that blasted ship.[br] [br] 07:03:52
Be that as it may, there was still the LITTERING at hand, but before he could even get the chance to chastise Mindfang for blatant disregard of keeping a somewhat tidy space, especially one not of your own recollection to be appearified bh the dreambubble, Roxy called his PJs cute, and that made him happy. He was ALMOST actually smiling, but much like Dirk in the ways of a stoic face, his emotion was tempered. Unlike the Orange Dreamsicle of a human, Kankri had no shades to further obscure his countenance, his eyes were the indicator that he enjoyed her compliment, even if the brows remained mostly unfazed. "Why, thank y9u, they are quite nifty if I d9 say s9 myselfâand I d9, which is why I just said s9â6ut as f9r my c9stume, I 6elieve I will get changed int9 it rather s99n after a sh9rt check-in with a few 9thers t9 make sure this gathering is ruunning at a rather sta6le rate. I d9 have a resp9nsi6ility as 9ne wh9 shares the title 9f "H9st" t9 make sure all participants are adequately l99ked after 6ef9re partaking in the revelry myself. I am glad y9u are here, R9xy. We will have a 6etter chance t9 speak in a 6it, I am sure. In the meantime, I will make my r9unds." He lets go of the Cat Wizard's hand giving her a wave as he started scuttling over towards Latula. Mostly due to recency bias because Mindfang's words put his teal buddy in his mind. Sue him. "Latula, h9w d9 y9u fare?" 07:03:54
[url=https://imgur.com/a/porrim-maryam-05UgcLV][color=#008141]PORRIM:[/color][/url][color=#008141] Porrimâs hand retreated once more, instead lifting to press a finger against her own temple as she let out a deep sigh. âSure, Kanny. Yo+u say that, but so+metimes it really feels as tho+ugh yo+u are sending mixed signals.â She readjusted to cross her arms, her expression shifting to one that was less than amused. âHo+w am I suppo+sed to+ kno+w what kind o+f info+rmatio+n [i]actually[/i] matters to+ yo+u. Once yo+u started to+ beco+me o+bsessed with tagging everything and masking insults behind âso+cial justiceâ I frankly began having a hard time understanding what yo+ur prio+rities were. Iâve do+ne my best to+ indulge yo+u, but thereâs o+nly so+ much co+nto+rting Iâm willing to+ do+ when I want to+ be able to+ actually partake in my o+wn ho+bbies. Whether yo+u dislike my cho+ice in pastimes isnât to+o+ much o+f a co+ncern to+ me, no+ matter ho+w much yo+u ridicule me fo+r tho+se things.â Although she looked a little angry momentarily, her expression soon shifted to looking a little more solemn.[br] [br] 07:06:06
[color=#008141]âI never meant to+ make yo+u feel like yo+u were so+me so+rt o+f aftertho+ught. If anything, it always felt like I was the o+ne in that po+sitio+n. It felt like yo+u didnât want anything to+ do+ with me, and I did my best to+ give yo+u space because thatâs what I tho+ught yo+u wo+uld want. Ho+w am I suppo+sed to+ kno+w if Iâve do+ne so+mething to+ upset yo+u if yo+u refuse to+ speak abo+ut yo+ur o+wn feelings?â Porrim took a deep breath, her hand raising to rest against her own forehead pensively. She wasnât sure if she should hug him, or leave him alone. Her eyes shifted across the room to the other Kankri before returning her attention to the one in front of her. âPutting any jo+kes aside, what is it that yo+u want me to+ do+? When I try to+ be friendly with yo+u, yo+u get angry. Yet, when I try to+ exclude yo+u fro+m activities that yo+u previo+usly made clear yo+u wanted no+thing to+ do+ with, yo+u seem to+ get upset, anyho+w. I just do+nât understand what it is Iâm meant to+ do+ in o+rder to+ make yo+u happy.â 07:06:07
