General Threading Mischief

[ognesperanza]

[how hard can it be to find one son of Hades who makes it a habit of hanging in the shadows and disappearing for days at a time?]

[maybe he's in the caves, getting his level up on]

[or perhaps he's hanging in the Black Forest, being cool and dark and myste--or just being Nico di Angelo]

[but maybe today he's actually in his room in the Stationhive, floor 2, room 1, Karkat's old room. gray walls, a few knickknacks, an unmade bed, clothes everywhere, and his laptop on his desk. oh, and he has a black electric guitar. suck it. or you know, enjoy the wrinkly puppy running around excitedly]

[or he's in the Dead/Undead HQ that Norman and he have called their own. not too far into the caves, before the medium monsters' territory begins, there's a hallway in a wall that didn't have one before. at the end is a good sized living room, rectangular and comfortably furnished. and yeah, there are probably zombies hanging out in it]

[hell, maybe he shadow-traveled somewhere he didn't mean to. oops, my bad! THE OPTIONS ARE LIMITLESS, MY FRIEND]

[exhales :|]

What are you doing up here anyway?

[boogerman]

Nightmare spying.

[ognesperanza]

Of course.

[boogerman]

Problem?

[ognesperanza]

No. Like I said, nightmares are required for balance.

[boogerman]

That's right.

[ognesperanza]

So you can stop acting like I'm judging you every time it comes up.

[boogerman]

...

[ognesperanza]

Just saying.

[boogerman]

I heard you.

[ognesperanza]

[loosely raises his hands placatingly, awkward]

[meanwhile, Shadow is peering over the edge of the roof like he's debating whether or not he should jump...]

[boogerman]

Watch your raisin.

[ognesperanza]

[turns and--aw jeez. whistles and tosses a treat in puppy's direction. OMGOODNESS TREAT!! he leaves the edge of the roof and eats it up. conditioning at its finest]

He has a way to go.

[boogerman]

Away from suicide?

[ognesperanza]

If he jumps, that's his own fault. You can't train stupid.

[boogerman]

I'm curious, do pets come back to life with Camp effects?

[ognesperanza]

. . . I don't know. I don't deal with animal souls.

[boogerman]

[huh.]

[ognesperanza]

But I'm not testing it.

[boogerman]

I wasn't asking you to.

[ognesperanza]

[shakes his head, dismissing it]

The monsters don't come back, though. That much is strange.

[boogerman]

Some of the monsters do.

[ognesperanza]

Which ones?

[boogerman]

The ones who talk.

[ognesperanza]

I haven't met any monsters here who talk.
