Backstuck

What fucking pumpkin? Really, this shit is stupid.

At least Aradia has fucking useful friends.

==> Be the useful friend

You have an assortment of shitty things to sell. It’s fucking horrible. You have to steal. You miss the future more than anything.

==> KV: Take the Pumpkin 

[Karkat Vantas has begun speaking with Aradia]

KV: FUCK, WHY DO WE LET HIM LOAF OFF SO MUCH? HE IS A PUSS FILLED ZIT IN OUR SHITTY HOME.

A: well karkat he is a bard

KV: WHATEVER YOU FUCKING SAY, ARADIA.

KV: HELP ME GRAB SOME OF THIS BLISTERING HORSE SHIT.

A: 0f c0urse

==> Gather shit

That shithead is always wasting time. Honking lutes are fucking stupid.

You hate everything even more.

==> KV: Talk with Aradia

Miracles spew from your lute like a charged up can of Faygo, whatever that is. It is beautiful. You are beautiful. Life is beautiful.

==>

The three of you live in some abandoned building that has hideous purple walls. It smells gross and is covered in dirt. There is a shag carpet too, which adds to the awful. You have some food, but not much, because the rats like it. Overall, it is the worst place imaginable to be.

Of course, you don’t really have a choice where you live.

What the fuck are you going to do today?

==> GM: Play haunting lute refrain

The two of you also hang out with GAMZEE MAKARA. He has HIGH BLOOD and a LAST NAME like a noble, and you have no clue why in hell he is hanging around with URCHINS. You wonder if it has anything to do with his drug addiction, but you have never asked.

He fancies himself a BARD and often plays in different locations. Sometimes you don’t see him for days. He’s fairly good with the lute and is famous for making it HONK somehow. You and Aradia are often looking after him.

==>

Your first friend is ARADIA, and if she wasn’t an URCHIN she might have had a last name. She was the one who saved you from getting your ass kicked that first night, and she continues to do so on a daily basis.

She’s super clever, but maybe a bit too adventurous at times. Sometimes she is downright creepy, but you’re willing to let that slide. 

==>

You realize this is a REALLY AWKWARD way to start a story, but your AUTHORS are idiots. 

About five months ago, you landed in this strange place after a horrible experiment gone wrong, and you still hate yourself for it. In fact, you are the dumbest troll this side of anywhere. 

In between hating yourself and hating everyone else, you’ve managed to almost blend in with the rest of these shits. Mostly because of your new friends, if you can really call them that.

==> Examine friends

You can’t have a flashback, since it is now FIVE MONTHS LATER.
