grumpy crab joins not so grumpy place

[crabmunicator]

Hello everyone! My name is Nabi and I'm joining you with Karkat Vantas from Homestuck, and more specifically, from The Games. Where I still have him, actually, but I am splitting the path here!

He'll be arriving after three months and three arenas of varying awfulness (if you count the mini-arena he went through first), and generally this place is gonna be pretty disorienting to him, if not for the usual reasons. He's already heard of CRAUs in essence.

In any case, it's great to meet you all! Those of you I don't already know, anyway. (You can blame Fritz and Michi for me being here.) If you want to add me on plurk, I'm at alchemicalheart.

Welcome welcome! I'm playing Disciple, who pretty much left the Games right before your Karkat came in I think. Nice to meet you!

[crabmunicator]

Hiii! It's nice to meet you too. And yeah, that sounds familiar - I actually had Sollux for a little before swapping to Karkat, and I think I remember hearing about you dropping early on. It'll be nice to have CR here, though.

[spitefulvitae]

Aaah, hey! I'm Lampy, the goofball that got a bit excited in a Plurk at the idea of a Karkat apping in, ahahah. I play Natalie here, a Vampire: the Requiem OC, Dakki Sigal (photonicfighter), a Phantasy Star Universe OC, and Isaka (fusionjack) from Kamen Rider Blade. It is super great to see you here! (And super fun to see more people coming in from The Games, aaah!)

Oh yeah and if you wanna add me on Plurk, I'm lampdevil there.

[crabmunicator]

Nice to meet you, Lampy! I am vaaaguely familiar with Vampire and have at least heard of the others, but I would love to have Karkat meet all of them and see what happens. Thanks for the excitement, by the way. It's always nice to know people are excited to have me in game. :>

Nice to see you! I'm QV and I play Ienzo here. I was actually at the Games too really briefly but I think that might've been before you were there.

I'm questionableveracity if you're interested in adding me.

[crabmunicator]

I don't think I recall you, or if you were there I missed you. In any case all I can tell is Ienzo's from KH, but I've never played any of the games in my life. Nice to meet you, though! I'm sure I can learn about your character through rp.

[kingroadie]

Hey, Nabi, welcome aboard! I'm Sora, one of the mods at WTL. I play Eddie Riggs kingroadie, a half demon heavy metal roadie from Brutal Legend and Lili Zanotto justshutupraz" a sarcastic, abrasive and secretly geeky teenager from Psychonauts. It's awesome to have you join us and bring the grump troll about. I'm definitely looking forward to playing with you!

[crabmunicator]

Hi! (Thanks for the quick acceptance, by the way!) I am not familiar with Psychonauts - I've heard about it some but that's about it - but I did once upon a time have CR with an Eddie outside of journal rp. It's been a long while, but that definitely makes me curious what CR would be like with him here and with Karkat.

And I'm glad you're excited, so thanks for that too!

[kingroadie]

You'll probably hear about it more often- I also play another Psychonauts character at The Games, fft. She'll likely prod at Karkat in the near future considering she's a mothering type.

You will def have to tell me about that other Eddie sometimes, now I'm all curious in equal fold. For our new rad CR to be and about the shenanigans you two got into elsewhere. I'll probably add you on plurk, if you're good with that?

[crabmunicator]

I wish I could tell you more but it's been like four years. I don't remember specifics, just that I had a friend that played him and I had some sort of CR and... that was about it. I'm not even sure which character I was playing at the time, it's been that long.

But yeah, go ahead and add me!

[kingroadie]

Ah maaaan. I know the feeling. I was wondering if it was one of my friends since she also rp's Eddie at a couple forums. Either way, it'll be fun to see how Karkat bounces off of Eddie. Eddie's kind of parented most of the homestuck trolls (Sollux and Feferi mostly), so I will jokingly warn about roadie pants fussing faintly at Karkat.

Awesome, thank you!

[greengiant]

Hi. This is bii, who used to be in the Games but burned out and left before your Karkat showed up. Nice to see you again?

[crabmunicator]

Hi Bii! I was out of the house for a bit or I would have replied sooner. I'm pretty excited to see how things go with Makoto, actually! She's from Changed, right?

[greengiant]

Yeah! She's going by the name of "Lin" since that was the name her fellow Changeling Brimstone/Zoe gave her before she remembered her old name, but she's told a couple people her original name.

[greengiant]

Oh, uh, there was a Karkat in Changed who was a crab-monster but she's just going to assume your Karkat is his fetch and won't tell him that because it's Upsetting.

[crabmunicator]

I LOVE IT. That's part of what appealed to me in apping here. Not that specifically, but just the different preconceptions and expectations from people going through such different stuff in different places. (He'd just argue with her if it came up. NO LIN HE'S NOT A FETCH WHATEVER THAT EVEN MEANS.)

[deafscythe]

Hello, hello! I'm Hydok and I play Justin Law from Soul Eater here! I played him in the Games but not this version so it doesn't matter

I am hugely excited for more cr with trolls because this overly violent creeper priest who used to worship clowns is madly in diamonds with Terezi and... sort of threatens anyone who knows her. Aw yeah negative cr right off the bat.

[greengiant]

Justin's the reason why there are burgers named after Karkat back in the Capitol. Since, uh, he turned his predecessor into juicy hamburger at one point.

[deafscythe]

Karkat burgers and Signless slices all in one Arena. 2x decapitation combo.

Also it was the Initiate's fault.

[greengiant]

Plus Kankri. Justin got the Vantas Murder Trifetica.

(It really was. It was a sometimes powers arena and Fraysong chucklevoodoo'd him into snapping.)

[deafscythe]

shoot i forgot about minced shouty troll. delicious 3x mutant splatter

[crabmunicator]

Hello Hydok! I feel vaguely like I've played with you somewhere before, probably Vatheon, but I forget who you played at the time. Anyway! It's nice to play with you, again or for the first time or whichever it is.

Also oh my god I had no idea about the thing in The Games. That is hilarious and horrifying and I love it and I want Karkat to find out someday and be deeply disturbed.

Negative CR is great too! I'll look forward to that.

[deafscythe]

Probably! I was in Vatheon with a loser death god (Death the Kid) and then a creepy scientist (Dr. Stein). I am equally bad at remembering if I know people, so hi!

It was a thing of beauty. I think it was Karkat that Justin killed second and he wrote "dead" across Karkat's face in troll blood just to make sure Karkat stayed dead. Thankfully this version of Justin doesn't know about that or he'd never let Karkat live it down.

I'm not opposed to positive CR but ngl Justin and trolls tends to veer negative really quickly because he's a troll, so we'll just have to see what happens!
