I'm going out for a couple of hours.

I'll be back soon.

Just seems stupid to choose this spot when something could fucking interrupt you here. Or someone. It never fails to happen. [He sounds angry but there's a drained quality to it. He studies her narrowing his yellow eyes and snorts.] Karkat.

What's bothering you? [His tone is oddly neutral now, as if he's used to asking that question or being a therapist in general.]

I train here. No one else tends to come out here, but I guess I just got proven wrong.

[A pause.]

Nothing. I'm just here to think.

That's the law of universe, when you least expect it everything goes fucking wrong. You might even expect it when it happens and be ready and prepared. It will still knock you on your ass and we'll march like idiots down this weird ass road everyone calls fate. Which is also bullshit.

[His expression doesn't waver. There's disbelief all over his face. He knows that look.]

Whatever.

[Rei stares at him for a moment before laughing to herself.]

You're talking to the wrong girl about fate.

[He stares at her and sighs, looking away.] Great. Don't tell me. You're one of those prophets or seers that know we're all fucked.

[Yet, he's relaxing a little. This is familiar territory.]

I'm not a prophet or a seer, but I see things sometimes. If that counts for anything.

That's what they do. Unless you're connected to time like that Strider prick. [He thinks about it and sits down, setting his pack down.] you're the first one I've met that didn't immediately pull that 'I've been expecting you bulge bump' shit.

I can look ahead if I want to, but I don't unless I need to.

[That gets his attention like nothing else.] ...how the fuck are you controlling it? No one does. They always see something.

[See this shock? It is akin to awe in a way.]

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

I can't control it all the time. Sometimes I see things randomly -- but I've practiced long enough to look into the future and the past.

[She glances over at Karkat.]

You have something like that in your world?

[suchatroll.livejournal.com]

Practiced. You weren't born into it?

[He rubs at his neck and glances away, thinking of Araida and Sollux.]

Yeah we do but, they have it since birth. They go blind eventually. I've never heard of anyone being able to keep themselves from seeing all the time!

[flameandpassion]

I was born with sight. But I've worked hard to get it better.

[Rei pauses for a moment.]

-- it's probably different than what I can do, then. I've never met anyone else who can do that.

I've never heard of anyone who could control it. ...is that something you think you could teach? [Maybe, Sollux can have some peace from that freak brain of his.]

Who wants to learn?
