Third Feather [Video/Action for Violet city]
...Hello? Is this working? At all?
[The feed opens on a familiar street of Violet City, somewhere notably outside the gym. The beautiful morning it is, you'd think that nothing's wrong at a glance, but you'd be so wrong.
The voice itself that could be heard just now was possibly unrecognizable, not helped by how the screen isn't facing whoever's holding it; it's pointed a the gym, rather. But then it moves along, going to a group of Pokemon standing around nearby, and a Dodrio, who's three heads all seem curious about the pokegear... or whoever's holding it.]
Well, it looks like it's working, right Kuki? Hmm, the Pokegear still being broken would be the least of our worries.
[A worried squawk follows. The voice is mature, but still light, like someone that was just stepping into an adult's shoes. A nice step away from the confusing rush of children on the network, isn't it?
But enough of the scenery, the gear is finally turned over, smoothly revealing... Rakka? Only, she looks like Rakka, albeit from several years down the line. She positions the gear until it's pointed directly on her face.]
...Some of you might not recognize me right now. [Hehe. Hair's still a mess, but that smile's one hundred percent her's.] It's Rakka. I guess I wouldn't recognize me either if I suddenly looked like this.
[But therein lies the point. With minor hesitancy, she speaks.] Is... anyone there? Karkat? Ashley? ...Yang? I'll take anyone, really it... feels like I slept for years. So, I just need to know if anyone's still around, okay?
[She'll let that sit for a moment, glance away, and cut the feed.]
Action for Violet City
[Y'know, maybe if this world actually gave them some warning when it was about to get weird, maybe it wouldn't be so bad? Yeah! Rakka could live without some of this excitement; it's not exactly fun to wake up in bed feeling like you've slept through your teens. Still... got to try and look on the bright side!
...It's a nice day? Bluh.
Well, curiosity never really dies down. And she's got on a nice dress she doesn't remember buying. So she sets out on a stroll through the city. She's always got at least one of her roster at her side - yes, even the Phantump because someone's feeling a bit braver. She spends the day talking to the locals, asking people in random shops and Sprout tower about the current weirdness, to not much luck. Mmrrgh.
She can at least try and unwind a little at a cafe she comes across, but her pokemon are getting their share of it. What? She's eating! One, or two bites count.]

[Something for her to think about when she's younger again... maybe. Possibly. Who knows.]
No, I think I uh understand it. Most of it.
But, about Quadrants. If these are all different types of relationships then a Troll could have all of them at once?
[text]
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY, BUT UH
ANYWAY IT'S SORT OF COMPLICATED.
[text]
It sounds like if you did have all of it filled out that would be
busy.
[text]
YOU KNOW. CONCUPISCENT. SO IT WORKS OUT IN THE END.
[text]
or you know, other trolls.
[text]
RIGHT. YEAH.
THANKS I GUESS.
[text]
Yeah. Okay.
You sure that you're alright?
[text]
[hahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHHA time to change the subject]
SO THAT WAS AUSPISTICISM AND KISMESISSITUDE. I ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT FLUSHED SO THAT JUST LEAVES MOIRALLEGIANCE.
[text]
[WHATEVER YOU SAY MAN]
And Moirallegiance is different from both of those, I bet.
[text]
MOIRAILS ARE MEANT TO EMOTIONALLY BALANCE EACH OTHER OUT. MY SPECIES IS
KIND OF FUCKING UNSTABLE I GUESS, COMPARED TO HUMANS. WE'RE A LOT MORE VIOLENT
SO HAVING A MOIRAIL AS A COUNTERPOINT FOR WHATEVER THE FUCK KIND OF ISSUES YOU HAVE IS IMPORTANT.
THAT'S A REALLY BASIC EXPLANATION BUT YOU SEEM TO BE GRASPING THIS REALLY QUICKLY SO FAR? AGAIN LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
[text]
Do you think so? I guess I am. Maybe you're just explaining them well.
I think the way a Moirail sounds like would be like having a best friend around to help you through some terrible times.
How's that for a comparison?
[text]
IT'S MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT. OR, FUCK, I GUESS THAT WORKS FROM A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT FOR TROLLS.
SORRY I MEANT HAIBANE PERSPECTIVE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
MOIRALLEGIANCE CAN BE CONFUSED WITH NORMAL FRIENDSHIP, THOUGH, IN SOME CASES. PALE FEELINGS CAN ALSO BLUR INTO FLUSHED. IT'S ALL REALLY FUCKING COMPLICATED.
[text]
[Or they're both just terrible at explaining what's on their minds.]
It sounds like even when you've got so many names for them, the quadrants can still kind of blur together after a while. But at least I think that's something Humans have in common too. Sometimes.
[text]
KIND OF. THEY SHOULDN'T.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE MORE SENSE AS YOU GET OLDER. AT LEAST I SURE AS FUCK HOPE IT DOES.
[text]
Look at it this way, I'm much older and I'm just starting to really understand how all of this works.
To be honest, I hope I can remember it all. If things ever go back to being normal, I mean.
[text]
HEY, IF IT DOES, LET ME KNOW? MAYBE THEN IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN AND IT HAPPENS TO ME, I CAN USE IT TO FIGURE SOME SHIT OUT.
[text]
[text]
[she didn't]
DID YOU JUST FUCKING CALL ME KATKAT.
[text]
Dave mentioned it.
[text]
OK LOOK, I'M ONLY ALLOWING HIM TO CALL ME THAT BECAUSE HE'S BEEN TURNED INTO A FUCKING WIGGLER. NO OTHER REASON. AND HE'S THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN CALL ME THAT SO JUST
DON'T. DO NOT. AND DON'T MAKE ME FUCKING REPEAT MYSELF.
[text]
Okay, okay, Karkat. I won't call you that anymore if you want that.
I just thought it was cute is all.
[text] eNDING THIS HERE I NEED FEWER THREADS TO BE HAPPENING I'M SORRY
AND DAVE ISN'T IN HIS RIGHT MIND BUT I'M TAKING CARE OF HIM OK? JUST
UGH. FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE. I'M OUT.
[text] NO THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FINE ssshhh
Take care of yourself, Karkat.
