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.)

[Being called his first name by a temperamental alien teenager is an odd experience, but Bruce accepts it without more than a mild, receptive look.]

When I got here, the turtle was pretty sick, [he explains.] It was uh, M, that was responsible, but we didn't know at the time. All the crops were dead, there was a foot shortage... [Half shrug.] Seemed pretty obvious to help with that.

It's not really something else, [he clarifies.] It was a... sort of like a skirmish before the real fighting.

If you want a reason, the Emperor said after it destroys this world, it'll move onto others. [Bruce is pretty level as he says that, though it's clear he isn't happy, with subtle tension around his eyes.] Here. [He sends the link over ICly.] That was probably before your time. Pretty instructive... if you believe her.

[Bruce doesn't indicate either way whether he does or not, but he's leaning on mostly yes right now.]

Asti is the name of Tu Vishan, [he clarifies.] The turtle. He introduced himself to a few people in dreams. Sinbrilee is… was his sister. We visited briefly, but she was killed a long time ago. Confirmed that it was M.

Konryu is probably the name of this world. Unconfirmed. [He’s just taking a guess on context there. Bruce intentionally avoids the NPCs here because he dislikes officials and attempts to stay under the radar, though that’s probably futile.

There’s a pause as he makes what he recognizes is probably a mistake in asking a question of his own.]
This, uh… this has happened to you before? [It’s definitely a first for him.]

[Whoa. Karkat. Slow your roll there.

Bruce isn’t the type to interrupt if he doesn’t have to, though he’s gradually more and more bemused at this impromptu lecture. He hadn’t meant for a treatise in response to his question, but now he’s stuck with it. Karkat has a certain flair to his explanation that makes it oddly engaging, as much as Bruce tends not to care about other people’s life stories.]


I’m not sure how much of that I understood, [he says slowly,] but that’s… a lot. I can see why you’re—over it. [Bruce shakes his head briefly.] Maybe you can use your time here to come up with some plans for dealing with… everything.

[That’s what Bruce is doing, though he’s in the position of his problems having come with him. Whether he never gets home, is some kind of clone that has no home to go to, or ends up back in his original timestream, he’ll have the same set of problems regardless and he may as well use this as the opportunity it is.]

I don't have anything in... particular right now. [Nothing suitable for public involvement, anyway.]

I was thinking about looking into the rules governing death and resurrection here, but it's obviously difficult to test. I'd have to do a survey.

[He's not exactly jumping at the chance for widespread social interaction.]
