#halkatsprite

The story I have for them is as follows: Hal (autoresponder) get prototyped by Dirk. This same Dirk prototypes a dead version of himself* into Jake's kernelsprite (Dirksprite). Soon after Hal meets Karkat at some point, introducing himself as Hal and shaking his hand... making Halkatsprite. Through shenanigans we end up with Dirksprite bumping into them and thus forming Dirkhalkatsprite^2.

*Another detail I give you! This is the reason why Dirkhalkatsprite^2's eyes appear dead. I was going to make it so Karkat was the one who gave the dead eyes but I ended up changing that.
