[accidental video/action] Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?

[The video starts abruptly, showcasing John's back as he walks-- something that's a little rare for him, what with the god tier flying and all --down the hall. His movements are slow and his steps are small, almost like he's not all that convinced that he wants to move forward in the first place. His hands fidget around, picking at his pants before floating up to grip the opposite elbow. The gesture seems to be his feeble attempt to keep himself from trembling anymore than he is already.

A sharp, high pitched noise tears from John's throat, and the feed ends.]

Oh, uh, right!

[John heads to the nearest closet and pulls out a bottle, tossing it over to Karkat with a flick of his wrist.]

Do you guys have doctors? Maybe someday a troll doctor will show up and you guys'll be taken care of for sure!

If it's not something our lusus can help us with, we die and no one gives a shit.

[He eyes the bottle, then eyes the instructions, then twists off the lid and takes a swig.]

I think you'd give a shit, Karkat. You care about your friends!

If I even knew one of them was dead.

...That is one of the things that sucks about online friends.

None of us knew when Aradia died.

Then again, she kept chatting with us even afterward like some undead weeaboo, so I don't know how the fuck we were supposed to know.

Okay, yeah, she's kind of an exception.

My guess is that normally when someone dies, you don't keep hearing from them. That's never happened with any of the others, anyway.

Yeah. I just think that this "nobody would care" thing is something that trolls think they're supposed to say because it sounds cooler and tougher, but really they feel just as bad when someone they care about dies or gets hurt or anything. I mean, you were kind of weird when I was upset, but, um, you didn't just up and leave!
