Network Prompts
ONE: SEE THAT WE CAN SEE
It's late and you're settling down for the night when you notice a strange light coming from... outside? Through the heavy snowfall, you can just make out the haze of glowing eyes in the distance. Dozens of them. It's difficult to tell through the window, but they seem to be staring directly at you. Since it's after lockdown, you can't get outside to investigate, but maybe others in town are seeing the eyes too. You'd better take to the Network to see what's going on.
TWO: BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES
You can't sleep. You've been trying, trying, trying. But every time you close your eyes, you see the eyes of the prophet etched into the insides of your eyelids. The symbol only seems to get brighter and clearer the longer you keep your eyes shut, the closer you get to drifting off. It chills you awake. Nothing seems to help. Maybe there are others on the Network who are having the same problem. Or, at least, someone who doesn't mind keeping you company through the long hours.
Action Prompts
THREE: THREE'S A CROWD
You and your traveling companion are exploring what looks to be a perfectly normal building when you notice something strange carved into the wall. Is that an eye? Strange indeed, but what's stranger is that new carvings keep appearing, always where you're not looking. Soon, the whole room is full of eye carvings. Is your companion doing this? If not them, then who?
FOUR: THE KNIFE'S EDGE
Most everyone in town still has eyes that are either glowing or shaped like the prophet's symbol, and your eyes are no different. These are the same eyes that made everyone attack each other a few nights ago. Every time you catch a glimpse of yourself, maybe in the reflection of a window or the video feed on your tablet, you feel a little sick. Unfortunately, your traveling companion's eyes look strange too, and they're the opposite of yours. Both of you are in danger if those murderous urges come back, which makes it difficult to trust each other after what you've been through. It's late at night when a dark thought crosses your mind--you do have a knife. Not that there's any reason to use it, of course... Right?

Why would I resent talking to you, Vantas? What is the point?
[If Karkat's anger is a bear trap, this is a pitfall.]
no subject
The point is that I'm not your friend and it's stupid of me to think of you as mine! It isn't fair to you?! Why the fuck should you have to deal with some needy troll asshole who can't keep his fucking feelings to himself?!
[... ALL OF WHICH IS OVERSHARING, but goddammit, it's Dave and he's still the easiest person to talk to even if he's not—even when this isn't—
Karkat drops his arm and smears a hand over his face, hating everything about his immediate reality and especially himself. As always. That never changes.]
You have your own shit to deal with and I'm not fucking helping. So, yeah, why wouldn't you resent me? I can't keep my sniffnode in my own fucking business, and Dave didn't—neither of you should have any patience for that and I'm so fucking sorry. You're not him and you don't have to be and especially not because of my fucking issues.
no subject
Okay?
[It's like being shown something private, soft, and vulnerable.]
I don't even know your issues.
[Just opening up, praying the world won't stab you for it.]
Don't really care to, either.
[It is every single thing he was told not to do, growing up.]
You want to do us both a favor, maybe stop projecting your expectations on me. I have my own feelings about this that got nothing to do with whatever kind of rad broship you had going down with regular Dave. And you just said you know it, so—stop being a dick about it? Not that hard, man.
[He says it like he's any better at not taking out his problems on other people.]
no subject
Another silence, then Karkat swallows and rubs his hand over his eyes again.]
I'm trying.
[It's more choked up than he wants it to be, and furiously, he rubs his eyes again before just giving up and walking back to the goddamned wardrobe. Look, see? Here he is, minding his own business and not bothering anyone with that troll disease called "being fucking desolate in an uncaring universe." Oh, wait.]
Maybe there's something we missed downstairs, I don't know. Do whatever.
[It's not like it makes a difference either way.]
no subject
[Simple, sharp, and immediate. He can see Karkat struggling, but that's the thing: he's not his friend. He has no reason to slow down and hold his hand about it, to give him that gentle handling and pity as he tramples all over his own issues with little more than a look or a silence held too long. He's not the real Dave, he's never going to be the real Dave, and the better thing is to draw the knife down the dividing line here at the start. They don't have another three years here, but he doesn't want even three months of John round 2 with some alien he barely even knows.]
[So he turns for the stairs again. He doesn't know what he'll find if anything, and can't really focus to think about it, but he just doesn't want to be in the same room.]
