I'M STILL KARKAT. YOU'RE PROBABLY USED TO THE GAPS IN DAILY UPDATES BY NOW.

I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT TODAY'S TECHNICALLY MY WRIGGLING DAY? AT LEAST AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO IT ON THE CALENDARS WE'VE GOT AROUND HERE.

SO... THAT'S COOL, I GUESS. I DON'T PLAN ON DOING MUCH TO CELEBRATE IT THOUGH. IT'S JUST NOT THAT SPECIAL, TO ME.

I DID BAKE A CUPCAKE THOUGH? WHICH I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE, SO IT'S REALLY BY SOME MIRACLE THAT IT CAME OUT LOOKING FINE.

I WASN'T REALLY GONNA DO EVEN THAT, BUT I RECENTLY FOUND AN OLD MUFFIN TIN AND THREE AND A HALF CUPCAKE WRAPPERS (HALF BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS RIPPED IN HALF?) LYING AROUND THAT I DON'T REMEMBER BUYING, AND I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH THAT SHIT, SO I MIGHT AS WELL USE IT FOR THIS.

(suddenly, a cake shaped into a particularly angry troll is thrust into view by a very proud salamander. the icing is a little too sweet, the horns are made out of ice cream cones covered in colored frosting, and the eyes are yellow gumballs melting already into the frosting. it was very clearly, made with lots of love.)

?????????? OH MY GOG THANK YOU???

THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY WELL MADE, DA-...RN. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOT ENOUGH ICING OF THAT MUCH COLOR VARIETY. I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF CAKE IN GENERAL, BUT...

(UHM ROLEPLAY ACTION DESCRIPTION THING: CAKE SLICE GET. YEAH.)

YOU SHOULD PASS IT AROUND SO THE OTHERS ALSO GET A SLICE, IF THEY WANT ONE.

IT FEELS LIKE EVERYONE'S TEN TIMES MORE EXCITED ABOUT MY WRIGGLING DAY THAN EVEN I AM RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, IT'S TECHNICALLY NOT MY REAL WRIGGLING DAY SO IT'S A LITTLE POINTLESS.

( a hatching and a welcome )

Anyways, I've completed this goal, and will only keep up this account as an archive/if I want to come back to it. I've met lovely people in this community, and obviously I would love if any of you interact on @im-going-insane87.

Pipe climbs the stairs to the second floor, heading towards the bathroom where he and Casey left the cherub. They're nervous. Their hands are sweaty. He's not sure what he'll find when he opens the door, but he has to be strong and he has to be brave, for Casey and for John and for everyone else.

He has to make the right choice.

Pipe opens the door and stops dead in their tracks. This is not what they expected.)

what the... calliope???

oh. Uhm.

(She stares straight back at Pipe with a blank expression for a long, awkward silence. Then, she coughs to the side before smiling at him in a sort of polite-looking way. She seems tense.)

...goodness, i was hoping i'd have prepared something to say by now. do forgive me, i only woke Up an hoUr or two ago. u_u

yes! i am, in fact, calliope. and if i am not mistaken, yoU go by pipe!

Wait, how do you know that? And why on earth are you pretending to be Caliborn? And why are you still here? If you could get out of the restraints so easily, you can get out of this house without much difficulty at all.

(Pipe stops for a moment before adding:)

pretending...? what makes yoU think i woUld do that? no no no no no, yoU mUst be confUsed.

(She points at one of her own cheeks, emphasizing the swirl present rather than a circle.)

UnfortUnately, he is still with me. i coUld never harm any of yoU in the ways he has so far!

please don't ever accUse me of being similar enoUgh to him to go throUgh with any of what he's done.

(...She quickly composes herself again.)

bUt, as for yoUr other qUestions, i have read some posts on yoUr blog! enoUgh to know yoUr preferred name, at the very least.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I know you wouldn't do that. Just... confused here I guess?

Can you tell me what exactly is going on and what he's up to?

last i recall, he was going to go meet an ally of his, a void player, for some sort of exchange?

he keeps information from me, bUt i can still theorize that mUch from what notes i have been able to read.

This Void player sounds like trouble.

(She looked off to the side.)

i don't know. he has been planning this with them for mUltiple months now, and he doesn't seem to be wasting any time now that it is in action.

we coUld set Up some way to track him, maybe? a way to know where he is going, withoUt him being aware of it?

i coUld also simply offer information when possible...? thoUgh i have been trying to do that, believe me! i jUst have no way to contact anyone online at this moment.

When was the last time you ate? I don't think there's any raw meat here but I could probably get you candy!

i think yoU're right. i shoUld have no problem staying on the sUrface Until i fall asleep again, so we shoUld have plenty of time if approximately somewhere between 12 to 24 hoUrs proves to be enoUgh for Us to think of something.

(Pipe, still fairly close to the doorway, calls downstairs.)

Casey? It's not Caliborn up here! It's Calliope, and she's a friend! We're going to come down now if it's alright?

(almost as immediate as her appearance, she leaps onto the cherub, hugging and squeezing her as tight as her little arms can.)

(Calliope is VERY startled by Casey's enthusiastic greeting. She only barely stops herself from flinching away. Quite hesitantly, she reaches to pet her on the head in response.)

y-yes, it is... good to see yoU as well, casey. i am flattered to know yoU missed me this mUch.

(Her expression seems sad and distant, but she's smiling anyway.)

what a relief it is that yoU are still in high spirits despite everything that has been going on! please hold onto that hope, i think things may be looking Up from here.

(She turns to look at Pipe. Her expression stays the same.)

...now, shoUld we all head downstairs? there is mUch to discUss, after all.

howbave you een???? :)))))) do youuwanb to hav sleepovet?????????? whyu is caliiborn wit yu????? why ajr yiu soo s mall?????????? wgere havb you been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M STILL KARKAT, BUT I THINK I'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS IN *NOT* BEING KARKAT SINCE I STARTED THIS BLOG.

I'M A LOT CALMER THESE DAYS, I DRAW (SHITTILY), I CAN ACTUALLY SOMETIMES AVOID SWEARING AND GOING ON LONG RANTS WHEN IT USED TO BE AND MOSTLY STILL IS SECOND NATURE TO ME, AND ALSO I HAVE A SLIGHT OBSESSION WITH EARTH CRABS. THAT'S WHAT I CALL PRETTY FUCKING GOOD PROGRESS!

I WAS GOING TO TRY TO BECOME ONE OF MY OLDEST SUGGESTIONS ON THIS DAY, BUT THAT'LL HAVE TO WAIT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW TIME PLOT SHIT IS PREVENTING THAT, BECAUSE TECHNICALLY SPEAKING I'M STILL AT PIPE'S PLACE AND THIS POST IS IN THE FUTURE.

^ I MEAN WHAT? THAT SENTENCE MEANS NOTHING TO ME. IT'S NOTHING. IT'S STUPID. IT'S NONSENSICAL BULLSHIT FOR IDIOT GRUBS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT COMPELLED ME TO SAY IT. IGNORE THAT.

ANYWAY, MOST OF WHAT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SAID ON THIS POST HAS ALREADY BEEN BLURTED OUT ELSEWHERE (<- CLICKABLE TEXT), BUT I'LL SAY PART OF IT AGAIN: THANKS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M GONNA LIST A FEW OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE BLOG AND THANK THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

THANKS BECOMINGJADEDAVEKAT, FOR BEING THE FIRST TO FIND THE BLOG AND THE FIRST TO GIVE ME A SUGGESTION OF WHO TO TRY BECOMING, AND FOR MAKING THE DISCORD SERVER MANY OF US HANG OUT AND GAMBLE IN NOW. ALSO, I NEVER ACTUALLY FINISHED THAT PSYCHOANALYSIS OF YOU, SORRY.

THANKS AMIDAVEYET? FOR PISSING ME OFF I GUESS??? NO BUT ACTUALLY, THANKS FOR INTERACTING A LOT. I PROBABLY WOULD'VE HAD TROUBLE ADMITTING THIS A WHILE AGO BUT IN HINDSIGHT I THINK OUR EARLY INTERACTIONS WERE PRETTY FUNNY. A VERY INSINCERE FUCK YOU FOR THAT. IN A NOT-ASSHOLE WAY.

THANKS IAMYELLOWVRISKA, FOR MAKING ME YELLOW AND ALMOST KILLING ME. THAT MIGHT SOUND WEIRD, BUT YOU DID ACTUALLY HELP ME BE A LITTLE LESS KARKAT. I THINK THAT WHOLE EXPERIENCE FLIPPED A SWITCH IN MY BRAIN OR SOMETHING.

THANKS UNBECOMINGJOHNEGBERT, FOR PRETTY MUCH SOLIDIFYING "UNBECOMING" AS A CATEGORY OF AMIYETS. AND ALSO WHATEVER THE WHOLE TRICKSTER MODE THING WAS? THAT WAS SOMETHING.

AND OBVIOUSLY THANKS AMIJOHNDAVEYET, BECAUSE NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HAD GIVEN UP ON YOUR GOAL EARLIER LIKE THE REST OF THE AMIYET GENERATION YOU WERE FROM.

THESE AREN'T THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT MADE AN IMPACT OBVIOUSLY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS POST TOO OBNOXIOUSLY LONG.

MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE EXAGGERATEDLY SAPPY FOR THIS KIND OF POST? I FEEL LIKE MAYBE I SHOULD'VE WAITED FOR THIS BLOG TO REACH 1 YEAR OR SOMETHING TO DO THIS. BUT OH WELL, I'M MAKING THE POST NOW ANYWAY, SO WHATEVER.

AND, AGAIN, I'VE ALREADY SAID IT ELSEWHERE, BUT I LITERALLY WOULD NOT EXIST IF IT WERE NOT FOR THIS BLOG BEING MADE. SO, THE AMIYET COMMUNITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ME EXISTING. YOU COULD EVEN SAY THE COMMUNITY HAD A BABY AND THE BABY IS ME. TERRIBLE REFERENCE NEVERMIND SORRY.

I'M OBVIOUSLY STILL GONNA KEEP TRYING TO UNBECOME KARKAT, THIS IS JUST A VERY LENGTHY THANK YOU POST FOR BEING AROUND LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET THIS FAR. IT GIVES ME HOPE THAT MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL ACTUALLY ACHIEVE THE GOAL.

TL;DR I'M A FUCKING CORNBALL AND THIS IS DAY 100, THANKS EVERYONE.

(P.S. OOC, SORRY FOR THE DELAY. DAVE AND REZI WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ON THE CALIBORNYET BLOG FIRST.)

Oh! Thank you, I can't hear a thing over all this. Just a second.

(Pipe lets Karkat into the house.)

Thank you for coming. I hope the storm didn't make the journey too rough on you...

@casey-egbertnumber1

(casey runs [and trips] after karkat, launching herself at his leg and hugging him.)

WHATHUHWHA-

OH.

HEY AGAIN CASEY.

(HE CROUCHES DOWN. PAT PAT.)

(almost immediately she hobbled off to the kitchen, making large happy bubbles on the way.)

...SO, CALIBORN DIDN'T ATTACK YOU OR CASEY, RIGHT? I DON'T THINK I EVER ACTUALLY GOT THE MEMO ON WHETHER OR NOT HE DID ANYTHING TO EITHER OF YOU.

I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HIM TO BEAT UP A CHILD.

(Pipe smiles fondly after Casey as she heads into the kitchen.)

...WE COULD GO CHECK ON HIM. IF HE'S AWAKE AND SOMEHOW BROKE FREE, THEN WE CAN BOTH EASILY TAKE HIM DOWN AGAIN.

WAIT, ACTUALLY, DOES CASEY KNOW HOW TO MAKE TEA SAFELY? LIKE, IS SHE AT RISK OF BURNING HERSELF DOWN HERE OR DID JOHN TEACH HER HOW TO NOT BURN HERSELF? UHM.

But you can stay down here with her if you don't mind! It definitely can't hurt.

(Pipe calls after Casey:)

Looks like the day is finally here. It's crazy to think it's already been so long. Sorry I couldn't do too much to celebrate, but I hope this little gif and my sappy words suffice.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's stuck around this far, whether you're a fellow amiyet blog or an unaffiliated follower who decided to give my little blog the time of day. I've never actually ran something like this before, but I'm glad I gave it a try. This community has been so welcoming and fun from the very moment I initially joined, and it's been really cool seeing how it's grown over time. A lot of other blogs have their 100th days coming up as well, so I hope everyone can cheer them on too.

And of course, this by no means implies my journey is over, far from it I bet. But let this be proof that I can carry on and maybe, just maybe, someday I'll make it. But for now, cheers to 100 days of trying to become Lil Hal!
