im really sorry for what i said.
that shit was fucked up and you didnt deserve any of it.
it sounds like your mom was pretty fucking awesome.
way better than mine.
i shouldnt have ever said anything bad about her.
specially not when you were just trying to help.
which i just wanna say i appreciate the shit out of you for trying to do that.
even if i was a huge gaping asshole bigger than the goatse man himself.
anyway i just really feel like shit for doing that to you and im sorry.
you dont have to forgive me.
you dont even have to say a fucking word.
but just know im really fucking sorry.

vantas...es

look just because you do the shit you do doesnt make you less of a man.
it doesnt mean youre gay.
i was just being a dick and im sorry.
and im really sorry about your mom.
and about everything i said about her.
im really sorry.
like i said to vriska i dont expect you to say anything.
its fine.

[Despite the fact he decided not to filter anything, the next two sentences are filtered. Because he knows if Dave saw them, he would think things he shouldn't. So this is filters to Di and Sal.]

and to the other vantases (i dont know your names).
youre better parents than i could ever fucking be.

[/end filter]

banks.
im sorry that your brother is a cripple
wait. no. fuck.
im sorry for saying hes a cripple.

end of story.
i dont expect anyone to forgive me.
i wouldnt forgive myself.

ACTION

[clockspinner]

[Dave saw red. His features curled in a snarl, and his hands curled into fists at his sides. He wasn't even thinking of his wand - he wanted blood, and he wanted it on his knuckles.]

You need to learn some fucking respect, Vantas. He left the school because his brother just fucking died and left behind a kid. A kid who would have gone to a fucking orphanage if Bro didn't go get him, because his deadbeat mom walked out on him and his dad when he was four. Awesome, your mom wasn't a total piece of shit. Some of us aren't so fucking lucky.

Are you insulting my little cousin, too? 'Cause if you are, your nose won't be the only part of you that's bloody.

ACTION--LASS JACK

[selfmakeout]

[Oh dear--here we go again, another conflict. There's only one way to solve this--going auto-Harley and skidding in front of Karkat to shield him.]

Dave, stop!

[clockspinner]

[Dave's eyebrows shot up behind his shades when Jade appeared seemingly out of nowhere and put herself between him and Karkat.]

Jade, this really isn't about you. Can we talk later?

[selfhatred]

[Karkat had to blink too when Jade stepped in front of him. He hadn't been expecting anyone to step in actually since the library was pretty deserted up his end of it.]

Jade, I can fight my own fucking battles.

[selfmakeout]

I don't want either of you fighting at all, it is completely stupid!

[Huff. Honestly, what was it about boys and always needing to punch each other.]

We can talk later only if you leave Karkat alone. You don't have to apologize to him or anything, he was probably being a douche for no good reason like usual, but punching him will only get you into trouble!

[clockspinner]

[Dave glared. Which was probably lessened by the shades.]

He insulted my family, and I'm the one who has to back down? Nuh-uh. No way, Harley. It's not that easy. If he agrees to leave my family the fuck alone, I'll leave his face intact.

[selfhatred]

[Karkat glared straight back.]

Your brother insulted my family first! Ever since I met you you've been nothing but an asshole to me. What do you think my fucking reaction is going to be?

[selfmakeout]

[Jade introduced her palm to her forehead.]

Ugh--both of you! Could you please please please stop shouting at each other for a second?

Dave, Karkat is always going to be an angry asshole, there is nothing much you can do about it no matter how many times you hit him or what. The only thing that can really be done about it is expressing your feelings and being patient!

[clockspinner]

[Nope, sorry Jade, Dave's back to being shit-pissingly mad.]

Oh, okay, so when Bro makes an apology especially for you, because he's man enough to know that he fucked up, you sulk like a wet-nappied little baby and refuse to accept his apology. Stop being such a fucking tool and nut up or shut up, piss stain!

[selfhatred]

I have every fucking right to refuse to accept his apology! And I was thinking about taking it when you came and fucking punched me! Good job, asshole, you just made it fucking invalid!

Voice

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Hi. Yeah. He's still here, wondering what the fuck is up with the blood on the journal that he saw. He's written to both Dave and Karkat both with no answer. Finally he sends this through Karkat's journal, which is sitting open on the table a few feet away.]

WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT IS GOING ON OVER THERE, YOU LITTLE FUCKWADS?

Action

[clockspinner]

[Dave draws his wand and flicks it, and the journal flops closed. He's gonna get a howler about that one, but look how many fucks he gives.]

[selfmakeout]

Dave. You should not be ignoring him like that! He is a teacher!

[So Bro sort of really creeps her out, but he's still authority!]

[selfhatred]

[Karkat's lips quirk a little.]

What's the matter? Davey too scared he's going to get into trouble?

[clockspinner]

Hardly. I'll get into more trouble if he finds out I'm the one that did that.

Wanna go over for me again why my force-feeding you a knuckle sandwich invalidates Bro's apology? Last I checked, we're not the same person.

[selfmakeout]

[Jade will wait patiently for Karkat's answer this time, rather than interjecting. But she's still keeping an eye on both of them to make sure they don't spring at each other.]

[selfhatred]

Because I was considering taking it when you came and punched me! You didn't even give me the right to change my fucking mind before you fucking assaulted me! It's like I don't even have a fucking option!

[clockspinner]

EXCUSE ME? Sure as fuck didn't seem to me like you were thinking about accepting his apology! I'm not even saying you have to accept it, I'm just saying that if you don't, then you shouldn't fucking keep running your goddamn mouth about it! How the fuck would you feel, to be told that an apology's not fucking good enough?

[selfhatred]

La madre que te parió! [If Karkat sounded furious, that's because he was.] I've always had to apologize! I've always been told that it's not fucking good enough! How would you feel if your dad came home one day and said 'that's not good enough, son, you should be more of a fucking man'?!

[clockspinner]

[Dave snarled and yanked down the collar of his shirt, stretching out the neck of his robe to reveal a very thin, nearly-faded scar that went down further under his robes, a neat slice all the way across his chest.]

I was raised with a more hands-on approach to those lessons, shitface. How about I give you one!? [cue him diving for Karkat again, tackling him against the table.]

[selfmakeout]

[The second he moved, Jade was after him--tugging on his collar to pull him back and grabbing the front of Karkat's shirt to make sure he didn't unexpectedly spring.]

I told both of you to stop fighting!

[Then, with a hard YANK she pulls Karkat forward, smashing his forehead against Dave's.]

Why does nobody listen to me around here!! [She lets go of Karkat, but is still holding onto Dave to keep him steady.] I am so sorry about this, Karkat, I will try to make sure it won't happen again. [She then lifts Dave up and puts him over her shoulder, nodding insistently.] If it is okay with you, I will be taking Dave up to the Hospital Wing now.

[selfhatred]

[Karkat hadn't been expecting Dave to leap at him. That had been a pretty low blow but it's not like he understood the relationship between Bro and Dave. Still, his momentary surprise was cut short when Jade pulled him forward and bonked their heads together. Karkat stumbled back and slumped against the table he'd nearly been tackled against, rubbing his head as he swore under his breath.

When she spoke he simply looked away before grabbing his books and absconding first, leaving the library without so much as a word.]

[clockspinner]

[Dave barely had time to stagger back before he was heaved over Jade's shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and he tensed up, ignoring the pain throbbing in his head. When Karkat retreated, he snorted and spat a thick loogie at his retreating back. He then sulkily resigned himself to his position on Jade's shoulder.]

I don't need to go to the hospital wing.

[selfmakeout]

Of course you do, head trauma is very serious! You do not have to worry, Dave, I will carry you safely there.

[clockspinner]

Jade. Put me down.

[uh-oh, he's sulking.]
