anarqrists not-so-anonymous: redux

[rebells]

Who: Salty Anarqrists Club (Jay's invites + anyone those people decide to invite)
Where: DRAGON HOUSING (on the first floor of the coven's apartment complex in Shehui)
When: Day 148, evening
Open/Closed: ICly closed! potential gatecrashers should PM rebells.

[The process will be familiar to some of you and new to others: some time over the past week, Jay or someone else would have quietly approached you in person and let you know about a meeting that was taking place tonight, hopefully away from the watchful gaze of Brie, Genette, and Qri.

Jay will greet you by the door. It might be a tight fit in the Geir-and-Vern apartment (if indeed it can be considered an apartment), depending on how many people show up. Take a seat on the ground next to the dragon--or on the dragon, if he'll let you--and wait for the meeting to come to order.]

[ poor... poor geir. ]

First of all, fuck off, the name sounded so stupid that I had to check to make sure because, surely, no one would name a planet that?

[rootandbranch]

Oh. Okay.

I guess someone did?

[he's so adrift in this interaction.]

[alienates]

Yes and they had terrible taste. No wonder Qri took you from there. She was probably doing you a favor.

[rootandbranch]

[...he thinks the name is fine, but that's beside the point, probably... getting drawn into an argument about naming taste probably won't advance this interaction forward. Geir makes a heroic effort to return the conversation to the original sub-point, already lost in the realm of several comments ago.]

She didn't do me a favor, but I don't mind being here. That's why I'm not mad.

[he's given up on tact. he can barely do tact even when he can follow what the other person is talking about. and by this time mortality has been discussed in the other ambient room conversations, at least a little, so...]

If you were dead, isn't that more of a favor?

[alienates]

[ he narrows his eyes a little at the question. it's hard to tell if karkat is annoyed that geir asked about the dead thing or not. maybe he's sensitive? ]

It's not a favor if I didn't ask for it, so no. It's not.

[ no he was just annoyed at the favor thing. ]

[rootandbranch]

...hey...

[A REVELATION. A REVELATION HAS TAKEN PLACE.]

I think I'm starting to get it. You're just really contrary, aren't you?

[alienates]

What in the world gave you that idea.

[ that's a confirmation, yes. ]

[rootandbranch]

[he's answering honestly:]

Every time I said something you found some way to argue with it, so it makes sense if you're just looking!

[alienates]

No, that just means that everything you've been saying is wrong!

[ karkat says, arguing. ]

[rootandbranch]

[Geir's eyes are beginning to sparkle. he's getting the hang of this, and he does so like to feel like he understands what's happening.]

You're right. Everything I said is wrong.

[alienates]

Exactly! I'm glad that you are finally beginning to understand what's going on here, it was fucking tiring having to explain it to you constantly.

[rootandbranch]

Ehehehe... you're agreeing with me now. Okay, Contrary One. What's your name, anyway?

[alienates]

Karkat Vantas. Who the fuck are you?

[rootandbranch]

I'm Geir. Well met, Karkat Vantas!

[alienates]

I am not sure what part of this can be considered "well," but okay.
