002 ♋ VIDEO (backdated to the 15th)
[Karkat appears on screen, looking like he's taken some efforts to make himself presentable, though his hair is as hopeless a mess as ever. That thing does what it wants. It's a monster. His expression is serious, though, and his tone is pretty sedate as he begins to speak.]
So I know I'm not the only person making this kind of post recently, but I kind of need to do this, so here I go adding another to the pile:
I need a job. And unlike a certain self-absorbed tool I'm not here to name - [Eridan, he means you.] - I'm not going to demand one on simple grounds of "I want one, so give it to me."
[Ahem.]
For things I've got experience with, I am a capable leader who led a team of twelve moronic and frustratingly stubborn trolls to victory in what has to be record time. In the interests of proper disclosure, this was not without some mistakes, but I learned from them and fully intend not to repeat their causes.
I'm experienced with sickle fighting and have taken down a ridiculous amount of creatures with them, both individually and while working with others, ranging all over the scale of size and power. I helped defeat something that should have been able to kill my team with voice alone, and that's without listing all the other stuff that made it ridiculously fucking powerful.
I'm good at coding viruses, but I somehow doubt that's going to get me a job, so whatever.
I like books and movies, so if there are any book stores or movie stores - does this place have movies? - I'd be open to those.
I've also got experience doling out romantic advice. Fair warning that this primarily revolved around the topic of troll romance, but I do have fair knowledge of the comparatively simple and stunted form that is human relationships, and am open to learning the intricacies of other systems. That's not even a job thing; it's downright fascinating and I am not here to receive arguments to the amount of "hurr hurr, you like romance!"
[He rolls his eyes, then returns to the serious look.]
Lastly, I'm not above more menial work if it comes down to it. So long as doing the job won't grind my think pan down into a fine paste to be extruded through the tiny holes of my auricular sponge clots, consider me open to the suggestion.
If you have questions, want details, shit like that, then go ahead and ask.
(OOC edit: In light of the plot development, I'm backdating this to yesterday, the 15th.)

In that case, I can assure you he does- or did. We are descended from him and his companions and carry their ichor in our veins, as well as many of their gifts.
[Someone else's lack of belief does not have any effect on Alcuin's certain knowledge, so there's no point in being offended.]
I suspect that that is a matter of viewpoint rather than certain fact. To d'Angeline thinking these black romances do involve love- romance without love of some kind is impossible for us. Hatred is there too, but without love the desire that heats the rivalry would be non-existent. It may differ for your culture, of course- you would know better than I.

I swear humans are stunted. What's wrong with appreciating hate and its many variations for what they are? A rivalry doesn't need love for it to become a kismesissitude.

[He's only hated one person in his entire life, and that definitely wasn't the sort of rivalry trolls mean.]

[He sighs though.]
Just chalk it up to cultural differences. I have basically come to accept that humans don't and cannot understand kismesissitude in the way we do.
