[ that's a good plan, except like... who can ever get chill with karkat. that is like the one setting that is impossible for him to achieve no matter what the circumstance is.

also all of the robot talk is just making karkat think of equius, and that makes him somewhat uncomfortable. karkat is almost sure dirk doesn't get into weird shit with his robot pals? he hopes so, at least. this might get awkward otherwise. ]
