IF ZAHHAK ASKS IF YOU'VE SEEN ME, YOU HAVEN'T.
SERIOUSLY, MY LIFE IS ON THE LINE HERE.
I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE TOLD HIM TO READ 50 SHADES OF GRAY.
AND THEN LENT HIM MY COPY.
WITHOUT TELLING HIM THE REAL PREMISE.
BUT SERIOUSLY.
YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

. . .
Leaving out why you were reading the book at all
Why didn't you tell him about the premise?

[selfhatred]

[Oh snap, mum.]

...SHIT I DIDN'T FILTER THAT.
HE WAS IN MY COMPARTMENT ON THE TRAIN AND GETTING ON MY NERVES.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Don't you think he'll see this?

[selfhatred]

IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GIVING MY LOCATION AWAY BY WRITING IN THE JOURNALS.

[moveslikejaeger]

[selfhatred]

IT'S A NOVEL.

[keeping quiet about what type of novel it is, thanks.]

[clockspinner]

[selfhatred]

SHUT UP. I DIDN'T BUY IT MYSELF, IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

[selfhatred]

IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT SOMEONE GAVE ME.

[cantfightthisfire]

Oh my god, you are such a fucking dumbass. Seriously, you're scared of Zahhak? Jesus, Vantas, man up.

[selfhatred]

THE GUY'S A FUCKING TANK.
LET'S SEE YOU STAND UP TO HIM AND GET AWAY WITHOUT A BROKEN BONE, PRESCOTT.

[nunganunga_k_o]

[brb dying, well done, Karkles]

BRILLIANT. Really! I never expected anyone here to have read that, him least of all.

[selfhatred]

I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH A SHOT.
ANYTHING TO GET HIM OUT OF MY COMPARTMENT.

[wwhatevver]

normally id encourage somethin like that
but isnt that a bit cruel kar


also wwhy do you havve it

[selfhatred]

IT'S ZAHHAK.


IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. I HADN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO READING IT OVER SUMMER.

[patrioticspells]

You mean the book that's been all over the news?

[selfhatred]

THAT'S THE ONE.

[givesyouaboner]

Why would you even own a copy? And read it?

[selfhatred]

BECAUSE I GOT IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND IT WAS AT THE TOP OF MY SUMMER READING PILE. I HADN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO READING IT UNTIL THE TRAIN RIDE.

action; journaled-voice filtered solely to Karkat; in the library after marina's location-drop

[strongjumps]

[ That's the sound of a door slamming against the wall as Equius likely punches it open. Doorknobs are for the weak. He takes a few steps into the library before transmitting his voice into Karkat's journal. He's speaking in a bit of a sing-song tone, at least for now. ]

Vantaaaaas? Where aaaaare youuuuu?

[ And then a small laugh echoes through the library and through the journals before being abruptly replaced by a voice decidedly harsher and about fifty times angrier. ]

Make this easy on yourself, Vantas. I would prefer not to hunt you down like the foolish vermin you are.

shiiiiit

[selfhatred]

[Nope. That wasn't a squeak Karkat let out when the door was punched open. You're hearing things, Equius. Luckily the squeak doesn't give away his location at the far back of the room near the Restricted Section. He does do the stupid thing, though, and peek out from behind a bookshelf before pulling back around it.

Fuck, he was so dead.]

[accioleggings]

...
I'M NOT SURE IF I'M MORE DISAPPOINTED IN YOU DECEIVING EQUIUS OR YOUR TASTES IN LITERATURE.

[selfhatred]

OH COME ON.
MUM HAS NO PROBLEM WITH ME READING PRETTY MUCH PORN BUT YOU QUESTION MY TASTES?

[remembertheroses]

He does not like art books?

[Because clearly that is what 50 shades of Grey is about. 50 shades of the colour Grey.]

[selfhatred]

[Who would be dumb enough to...no. Oh snap it's a firstie.]

NAH. HE SUCKS AT ART.

[moirailcompass]

not even two weeks and you two are already fighting

[selfhatred]

HE WOULDN'T GET OUT OF MY COMPARTMENT AND SUGGESTED SMOTHERING BILIOUS SLICK.
I WASN'T GOING TO JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE IT.

[seeringlight]

You do realize that Zahhak's taste are much higher than that of which can be supplied through a novel such as Fifty Shades of Gray right?
I'll keep my mouth zipped, but I can't say that I'm fairly sympathetic of your plight.

[selfhatred]

YOU MEAN HE HAS TASTES ASIDE FROM CENTAURS AND HORRIBLE ART?
THANKS, LALONDE. I OWE YOU.

[arrogantalloy]

You read commercialised porn? Vantas, I think it time I reevaluate my thoughts about you.

[selfhatred]

I WAS CURIOUS.
JEEZ, A GUY READS A BOOK ONCE AND DOESN'T HEAR THE END OF IT.

Unfiltered so Equius can see it
