JOHN: this is really confusing though. JOHN: assuming you're right, and i am "busted" on having those feelings... and i'm not even saying you aren't. JOHN: but... JOHN: i thought humans weren't supposed to be able to feel stuff like that? KARKAT: LIKE WHAT EXACTLY? JOHN: like, perceive and feel romantic stuff, in the same way trolls do. JOHN: because we're aliens to each other! JOHN: well ok, humans can feel the gay stuff pretty often, i guess. JOHN: i didn't think we could feel the spade stuff, though. JOHN: i dunno, i just thought it was some screwy biological difference? DAVE: nah i disagree DAVE: both humans and trolls are emotionally versatile sentient beings that can feel many hells of different things JOHN: you're probably right. JOHN: you would know better than me, at least. DAVE: thats always a smart fallback position btw DAVE: especially on rap DAVE: i could school you on rap too are you confused about rap JOHN: no dave, i think i'm pretty squared away on rap. JOHN: at least for now. :p DAVE: so uh DAVE: this has been a hell of a reminiscence so far JOHN: yeah... DAVE: seriously though i wasnt actually intending to fork this like instantaneously in the direction of some like DAVE: legitimately sincere dialogue on fuckin sexuality and romance DAVE: i didnt plan on this dude you gotta believe me JOHN: i believe you! JOHN: it's been cool though. DAVE: yeah DAVE: did we cover everything JOHN: um... JOHN: probably not? JOHN: oh, right. JOHN: you dated jade for a while, so there's that. DAVE: whoa what JOHN: i mean, dave sprite did. DAVE: oh JOHN: and of course i mean, the one from my time, obviously not the one from this time, who died i guess before that happened. DAVE: right JOHN: man, that still just seems... so sad. JOHN: i guess even when you fix things, not everything can be perfect. DAVE: yeah DAVE: so DAVE: howd that go DAVE: me and jade DAVE: or... DAVE: him and jade JOHN: ok, i guess. JOHN: my sense was, it was kind of dramatic overall. JOHN: i'm not sure it was the best relationship, probably because of dave sprite's uh... JOHN: "unique issues". DAVE: hmm JOHN: but there were a lot of fun memories. JOHN: i'll tell you about them some time. maybe when jade is awake, because i'm sure she'd want to know too! DAVE: yeah
