eleven (video) ♊ vacation's where i wanna be

[viiru2alert]

[Good evening, friends. Sollux kicks this feed off with a shot of four baby Pokémon -- a Dratini, Bulbasaur, Venipede, and Larvitar -- all kind of napping or something together. The Gear lingers on them for a second, and then twirls back around so everyone watching can get an eyeful of Sollux's hideous glasses. Oh god they're awful.] So, since Team Megido has now touched base in Olivine and I have nothing to do because, oh look, I already have my motherfucking Gym Badge [this was directed towards someone off-screen], I decided that now would be a great time to dick around a little on the PokéGear.

So, it's getting damn close to summer. The weather's getting warmer and it's fucking fabulous, I literally couldn't be happier with the current state of the thermometer right now. Unfortunately, all of the springtime fun and allergies and shit also meant that I have four freshly-hatched little asswipes crawling around all over the place. I think everyone's kind of sick of them by no-- oh, wait, did I say four? Sorry, meant five. [And the screen moves AGAIN, to a picture of an adorable baby Vullaby picking at her feathers.] Look at that bitch. Found her wandering around in the Safari Zone. Do you people know how long I've been looking for one of these? Way too fucking long.

[And then the feed goes back to him. Maybe he's done gloating about his altogether unremarkable accomplishments... maybe.] And now I'm going to get back on topic. Summer. Back on Trollplanet, the Dim Season didn't mean much except the night-time got hotter, and the day-time got... well, also hotter, but the sun also kind of scorched all of your skin off if you walked out there anyway. There weren't any of these... festivals or holidays or shit. In fact, there weren't any festivals at all.

So, what's the difference between a festival and those godawful parties? Please tell me they're at least bigger. I've been dragged to several holiday parties now and all of them have had too many people in not enough room.

Haha, you have a list of this? Seriously? Just how long is this?

[Video]

[viiru2alert]

I'm trying to find people who fit every double-letter combination in the alphabet without any of them sounding awkward. You're the fourth, beside KK, AA, and FF.

[Video]

[itsjustdust]

I'm guessing it'd be awkward if it wasn't in their name? [Give him a second as he goes through everyone he knows]

Do you know Mitsukuni?

[Video]

[viiru2alert]

No.

[Video]

[itsjustdust]

He's super friendly and from a place way more peaceful than either of ours, but if you ever make friends with him and get there... [Sheepish smile for you.]

then at least his name has double letters?

[Video]

[viiru2alert]

No, see, it takes more than that. You're looking for the emphasis letters. I would call a Mitsukuni MK. AA is Aradia, KK is Karkat, FF is Feferi. And Obito is OO.

[Video]

[itsjustdust]

OH! Oh that is harder. [He's frowning a little, because more thinking over here.]

My cousin is Sasuke, and I've met a guy named Utakata, but that's all I've got.

[Video]

[viiru2alert]

Yeah, it's hard. And that's why I've only got a few spots filled up.

[Video]

[itsjustdust]

And actually liking the person probably brings down your options too huh?

[viiru2alert]

Expo-fucking-nentially.

[itsjustdust]

Because people are definitely not always likeable. [He made a face at this point.] I don't envy you your goal at all man

[viiru2alert]

It's not so much a 'goal' as an occasional, very frustrating hobby.

Like socializing.

[itsjustdust]

[Have a confused face.]

I didn't think you had any social issues, you're pretty good at this.

[viiru2alert]

Really.

[ ... ]

Really.

[itsjustdust]

What?! You and me have gotten along pretty well from the start!

[Why are you reacting like that?!]

[viiru2alert]

Yeah, well, you're response to vitriolic assholes and most other people's responses to vitriolic assholes are pretty different.

And that's why I keep talking to you anyway.

[itsjustdust]

What? What do you mean it's different? How??

[viiru2alert]

You keep on talking to me where most other people just give the fuck up.

[itsjustdust]

But you're easy to talk to! Fun even! [He's beyond clueless now.]

[viiru2alert]

...

[Ouch. Right in the kokoro.]

...No, you're just fucked up.

[itsjustdust]

[HE DOESN'T GET YOUR REACTION AT ALL MAN!]

I am not! No seriously, I am not getting why you're saying all this and it's gettin a little annoying.

[viiru2alert]

Too bad, 'cause it's true. Ask anyone else.

[itsjustdust]

Obviously everyone else needs a clue. [He clearly believes this.]

[viiru2alert]

Obviously you need a clue if you can't tell a fucked-up asshole like me from a regular person.

[itsjustdust]

Don't give me that, I'm used to dealing with a fucked up asshole all the time, and you're way more laid back than he is.
