(Karkat reads intently. He's burrowed under his blankets and closes out all other chat windows to focus on Sasuke's words. This stuff gripped him to his core. It was in his blood to feel anguish over the mistreatment of people based on things out of their control. It makes him want to scream. If he was thirteen, he would have been screaming his head off already and slapping at his keyboard because he felt everything so intensely.
But he was older now. He still wants to scream, still wants to smash his keyboard and make sure the entire galactic internet was made aware of how fucked up people could be to each other. He bites it down on the blanket and softens himself. Dave always told him he reached people really well when he took it down a few notches. Kyle believed he was good at what he did. He understood exactly what he was being told from top to bottom. The unusual words didn't hinder him in the slightest. His own life was odd enough that he could accurately put together what Sasuke was telling him.
He exhales and begins to type rapidly:)
SO BASICALLY YOUR VILLAGE HAD A CERTAIN WAY TO KEEP POWERFUL BEASTS UNDER CONTROL AND DECIDED TO BE GIANT BITCH BABIES ABOUT IT? YEAH, BET THAT WORKED OUT GREAT FOR THEM. YEAH, LET'S JUST TAKE A PERFECTLY GOOD GROUP OF CAPABLE PEOPLE AND FUCKING ISOLATE THEM PHYSICALLY AND SOCIALLY. FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE. NO OFFENSE TO YOU SPECIFICALLY BUT FULL OFFENSE TO YOUR VILLAGE: THEIR LEADERS MUST HAVE SNORTED MOUNTAINS OF COCAINE TO BE THAT STUPID.
YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WERE APPOINTED GUARDIANS AND YOU DIDN'T GET TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO THAT. THAT'S FUCKED. I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S "IRONIC" AS MY OLD BOYFRIEND WOULD SAY, BUT MY BLOOD LEFT ME PRETTY USELESS ON THE PHYSICAL AND POWER FRONT. LIKE, AS FAR AS TROLLS GO, I'M SO FUCKING USELESS IT'S PATHETIC. I DIDN'T EVEN REACH GODTIER SO I'M USELESS X10000. BUT MY OLD BOYFRIEND WAS LIKE THIS BEHEMOTH POWERHOUSE WHO COULD FUCK WITH TIME. HIS BROTHER IS SCARY STRONG. HIS SISTER SCARY STRONG. OUR FRIEND COULD BEND SPACE. LIKE, I HAD ALL THESE FUCKING BEEFED-UP POWERHOUSE FRIENDS, RIGHT? AND THEY TRUSTED ME TO LEAD THEM BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT THEIR FUCKING VALUE WAS.
I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT PEOPLE'S VALUE IS AND LET ME TELL YOU, MAN, IF YOU WERE IN MY GAME SESSION, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE I ASKED TO BE ON MY TEAM. THAT PROBABLY SOUNDS LAME IN COMPARISON TO WHATEVER HELL YOUR WORLD PUT YOU THROUGH, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU CAN DO SOUNDS COOL AS HELL AND SHOULD BE EMBRACED. WITHOUT THE HARVESTING YOUR BODY PARTS THING.
I DON'T KNOW. I'M RAMBLING BUT I GUESS I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF LEADER WOULD DO THAT TO THEIR PEOPLE. LEADERS OWE THEIR PEOPLE A RESPONSIBILITY TO RESPECT AND CHERISH THEIR ABILITIES, DAMN IT.
