KARKAT: HAHA YEAH...... THERE'S NO WAY I WROTE THAT... I'M DEFINITELY *NOT* SUSPECTING FUTURE ME COULD'VE DONE THAT.. THAT'S RIDICULOUS
DAVE: ………say kkat how did you end up getting those slabs again?
KARKAT: I ALREADY TOLD YOU, DIDN'T I? IT WAS THE... UHH........ THE SHENANIGANS
DAVE: yeah and can you elaborate on that
KARKAT: WELL, YOU SEE, I MAYBE...
KARKAT: POSSIBLY...
KARKAT: KIND OF...
KARKAT: SORT OF...
KARKAT: FOUND ARADIA'S MUSIC BOXES IN THAT WALLET..?
DAVE: …..timetravel?
KARKAT: GOGDAMMIT... YES DAVE, IT WAS TIME TRAVEL. WHAT ELSE COULD IT FUCKING BE?
DAVE: well i just wanted to make sure i was understanding you correctly when you say you, the blood guy, took 10 slabs from a random time, while committing a back to the future!!!!
DAVE: im impressed
KARKAT: I MEAN, I ALMOST FUCKED IT UP SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I THINK ALL MY PAST SELVES WERE TOO BUSY WITH OTHER CRAP TO EVEN NOTICE ME APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE.
DAVE: well thats good at least, no paradoxes or timeline dooming and shit
DAVE: i am worried about that note though
KARKAT: WHAT, WHY?
DAVE: so you know how on pesterchum when youd talk to yourself
DAVE: and youd get stuck there for a WHILE because it was just an endless loop of you going from BEING past to current to future because thats how time works
KARKAT: ...OH. OH FUCK. NOT THIS HORSESHIT AGAIN! I SPECIFICALLY DID *NOT* INTERACT WITH ANY OTHER MES JUST TO AVOID *THAT* CRAP.
DAVE: well im just saying
DAVE: you saw your past
DAVE: you are your present
DAVE: eventually youre gonna be your future and write that note and none of us know *why* you end up doing that
DAVE: but if you dont write it that could cause issues
KARKAT: GOGDAMMIT...
KARKAT: I GUESS THAT'S BETTER THAN SPEAKING WITH A PAST ME DIRECTLY, AT LEAST.
DAVE: considering your honestly weird hatred towards your past and sometimes future self
DAVE: yeah its good you didnt interact directly
KARKAT: IT'S NOT *MY* FAULT ALL MY PAST SELVES ARE FUCKING MORONS AND MY FUTURE SELVES ARE ALWAYS BEING CONDESCENDING PRICKS TO ME.
KARKAT: SO ANYWAY. I JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER TO WRITE THAT NOTE SOMEDAY AND BRING THE WALLET BACK TO THAT SPECIFIC POINT IN THE PAST ONCE WE NO LONGER NEED IT, RIGHT?
DAVE: yeah sure buddy
DAVE: anyway yeah thats the gist of it
DAVE: there shouldnt be any issue considering thats the way time is *supposed* to go but having the knowledge that its supposed to happen can potentially fuck things up
DAVE: so just act natural
KARKAT: ALRIGHT, I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND, THANKS...
KARKAT: WAIT
KARKAT:;ALL OF THIS MEANS I WILL DEFINITELY DIE AGAIN SOON.
DAVE: why does it mean youre gonna die again soon???
KARKAT: DAVE COME ON. AREN'T *YOU* SUPPOSED TO BE THE TIME GUY HERE?
KARKAT: FUTURE ME WILL WRITE THAT NOTE AND RETURN THE WALLET WHEN IT'S *NO LONGER NEEDED*. SO *AFTER* I DIE AND GET REVIVED. OBVIOUSLY.
DAVE: ohhh
DAVE: i was just assuming death wasnt inherent in that. because like for all we know you could store the slabs and body somewhere NOW and leave the other stuff behind back where you got it because technically its no longer needed now ya know??
KARKAT: WHERE WOULD WE EVEN STORE THEM THOUGH?
DAVE: hm… well its all captchaloged and you do have a wallet so we could hypothetically take the card out and hide it somewhere
DAVE: or put the card in another deck
DAVE: but that might be overly complicated i dont know honestly
KARKAT: WAIT. WAIT. WHAT IF WE JUST... GOT ANOTHER WALLET?
DAVE: where would we get another wallet
DAVE: i dont know anyone who uses them personally
