[....Boy, it's a bit early to be making a video, isn't it? But it would seem someone's set on it, the way the feed settles on the open window of a room before it's turned around to show... Rakka. She seems rather awake, despite the early hours, peering down at her gear with those big eyes.]

Look at this.

[Quiet voice, Rakka. A simple thing to ask before she moves the screen again, jostling it but actually making it clear that they're going to the window and the gear is heading riiiight through it.

Outside the window was Violet city, obviously quiet and dark at this hour, though not so much now as it used to be. The street lamps provide decent illumination, but that's not what Rakka wanted the gear to see as she turns the gear around so it's facing upwards. Pointed into the dark night sky, you get an impressive view at the expanse of twinkling stars up there.]

They're beautiful, right? ...But at the same time they also seem strange. The stars here remind me of the ones back home. I was wondering if any of them are the same, or if I would even be able to tell. [Off-screen, Rakka breaths a quiet sigh.] Maybe not...

[She pulls the screen back into view of her again.] At least I'm getting used to this world now. It's been... [yaaawn] easier then before... Huh?

[Now is the perfect time for a couple of sleepy Doduo heads to poke their heads into the frame and seek attention via tenderly and repeatedly nudging their trainer. Absolutely. It helps sleep-deprived Rakka notice them.]

H-hey, what's wrong? I'm not doing anything...! [Wait, unless she... oops. Whisper time should still be in effect uuhhh] I'll go to bed soon, really...

[And the feed is cut there. Pleasant dreams, Route.]

Not really. Some of the other Haibane my age do.

[Rakka's barely noticed. She's tired, and this conversation with Karkat is one she's just fine with.]

Oh weird? well, sometimes it is?
There's way more humans then Haibane in Glie I think, but the ones I've met when i went to town were really nice.

I GUESS THAT ISN'T SO BAD.
WHAT OTHER DIFFERENCES ARE THERE BETWEEN YOU AND THEM? BESIDES THE WINGS AND HALO I MEAN.

[Lucky that Rakka had finally found a place where she could sleep in a real bed, and not underneath a tree with a fluffy espurr for a pillow. It was the simple pleasures in life that still found some enjoyment with Rakka. She hadn't had to worry about any of her pokemon plotting to eat her yet.]

Uh well
I don't know, it's never happened to me yet.
but if you go home, I think time starts again?

[She holds no dislike of Humans... except maybe the rude ones.]

Other changes? well
there's not that many of them. Having wings is the biggest kind of difference
but we do follow some rules that the humans don't have to.

[Well after talking to so many people through text, switching back to video feels a bit strange. But here we are.]

Uh, well... [Quite the cheery answer he's got there.] Then, what are they supposed to look like?

HUH. I THOUGHT THERE'D BE MORE TO IT, LIKE IF YOU HAD POWERS OR SOMETHING? THE WINGS ARE STILL COOL.
WHAT KIND OF RULES.

Yes, a lot of people think that, but the truth is you can't really do a lot with the wings.
and they do look cool! [That is pretty much a fact.]

Rules for the Haibane to follow.

YEAH BUT WHAT KIND OF RULES? WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO? OR NOT DO I GUESS. AND WHY ARE THERE RULES IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Oh. I hope I can get home soon anyways. I know people at home who have something important they're working towards, so I don't want time to be frozen for them forever because I'm here.

I heard in your video. It sounds like you miss home too?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE USED IT FOR DOWN THERE, BUT HE DID USE IT!

well the rules were given to us by the Haibane Renmei. They're the people who help us live in Glie.
for starters, we can't buy new things. we can only buy stuff that humans already used.
and we don't pay with money either but these little notebooks

[... the fuck.]

WHY NOT?
I MEAN WHY CAN'T YOU BUY NEW THINGS BESIDES THE FACT THAT THERE'S A RULE ABOUT IT, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

[He'll get to the rest in a minute, just. Yeah.]

I don't know why.
it's kind of like they want to make it easier for us.
I mean, we can get food and other things of course

Why was he underground?
uh I'm sorry if that's too rude to ask! I'm just curious.

Edited 2016-04-12 07:26 (UTC)

BUT WHAT IF YOU *WANT* SOMETHING NEW? OR UNIQUE? THAT'S SO FUCKING STUPID, WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE HAIBANE RENMEI PEOPLE TO TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE.
ARE THERE EVER ANY EXCEPTIONS?

[Blake's too lazy to type if he doesn't have to.]

I'm just saying if you're going to name something after something else, it should make some sense. The Big Dipper, now that one looks like something. Just a cup on a stick.

[His dog's ear twitches. He scratches behind it.]

Hey. You from Earth, kid?

an the ocean is deep too so the night sky has to be as well
could be more stars than all the people and pokemon her ein this place

NO, NO, IT'S NOT RUDE AT ALL! YOU SEE, UNTIL VERY RECENTLY ALL OF MONSTER KIND LIVED UNDERGROUND, TRAPPED BY A MAGICAL BARRIER!

Then we can't get it, not unless it turns up in a used shop. Sometimes we get gifts from other Humans too.
and if there's anything we want, we can make it ourselves.
A lot of Haibane are glad with what they can get.
and the Haibane Renmei are uh
they're important, and they seem to know a lot about the Haibane.

wow
that's so many

[She's tired. cut her some slack.]

I wonder just how much of it I'll get to see

[...]

YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE, DO YOU.

probly not all of them even here
its just too many

It's not my fault! They're really mysterious.
they wear these long robes and speak with their hands most of the time.

oh no
I mean this world.

Oh, that is really pretty. I don't know if they're the same as the stars on Remnant or not. I didn't know any constellations or anything.

Salutations, Rakka! It's good to see you're adjusting well.
