[open] Get over your hill and see what you find there

[mylphofspace]

Characters: Dolorosa and you!
Location: Holocaust Mall, the streets of the shopping district, or the City Park
Rating: G, I guess?
Time: May 21st, afternoon to evening
Description: Dolorosa is out and about, getting some shopping done and enjoying the sunlight. Feel free to have your character find her!



[Since her arrival and reunion with her family, Dolorosa has taken some much needed time to herself, choosing temporary isolation to put her thoughts in order. It works, and by the time she decides to finally explore Death City and see how much has changed since she left months ago, her thinkpan feels much clearer than before.

She heads for the Holocaust Mall, intent on finding nice fabrics to create new clothes for herself and her family, and takes a small detour through the City Park, to sit down and catch some sun for a little while.

It feels good to be back again.]

“Ah, but how can you focus on doing something you have never done before?” She doesn’t mean to make him lose his motivation, of course-- she’s quite happy to see how determined he is-- but at the same time, Dolorosa doesn’t think he should bring himself down or think he isn’t capable of doing it just because it’s a difficult task to follow through with.

“I was under the impression that many Weapons transform for the first time upon finding themselves in a dangerous situation. As far as I’m aware, transforming for the first time through meditation is very hard, so it’s only natural that it should take some time to happen.”

"Yeah, it's harder, but it also doesn't lead to potential bodily injury, which is what I'm really trying to avoid. I'm just in a hurry because I can't actually be useful until I transform, and a couple of my friends want to go on missions with me once I've got this shit figured out." At least they both have other weapons they can use in the meantime. He doesn't feel as guilty as he would if they were waiting on him completely, but still, he's eager to start doing things after three years of sitting on his ass building Can Town and messing around with Dave.

Dolorosa frowns at his words, and it’s very clear by her expression that she doesn’t like what she’s hearing.

“You can be useful even if you don’t transform as soon as you wish to, Karkat. You are useful to your friends just by being in this place; I’m certain that they missed you, and that your presence here motivates them and makes them feel happier than before.”

She doesn’t know his friends, but if he truly calls them that, then she’s sure that they must feel that way for him.

"Uh, yeah, I guess." He's a little blind sighted by how upset she got there. God dammit, why is it that all the members of Signless's little group are ridiculously protective of him. He doesn't get it, and he certainly doesn't need their protection. "They did seem to be fine with me being here. Still, I'd rather figure this out sooner than later. It's boring just sitting around not being able to do important shit."
