And what could possibly be so nerve-wracking about Porrim that would reduce the great rainbow drinker Kanaya Maryam to such inhibiting flights of emotion?
Perhaps it is her charm? Her good looks?
Or her rather low cut top?

[She wishes that she was Roxy so she could throw in a *wonk* for good measure.]

What A Great Rainbow Drinker Indeed
Four Entire Colors Under Her Belt After Almost An Entire Sweep In The Ranks Of The Heinous Undead
I Dont Know How A Former Emissary Of The Dark Gods Could Even Bear To Associate With Her Uncontrollable Resplendence

[text]

[complexdisorder]

Ah, ah, Kanaya.
You are stalling and trying to change the subject.
Now, what could possibly be so daunting about one's own dancestor as to cause such an impassioned and perhaps impetuous reaction?

Youre One To Talk
Did I Not Observe A Great Deal Of Adolescent Avoidance Of Your Own Pregenitrix

[complexdisorder]

She and I share a history that makes our interactions a bit strained at times, but at least I am willing to speak with her.
Kanaya, you will regret it if you do not take this opportunity.
I know I am not sincere very often; however, trust me on this.

[complexdisorder]

And what do you believe those traits to be specifically?
I see quite a few similarities between you as a pair, not nearly so many deficiencies, especially on your part.

Theyre
A Little Difficult To Describe
Particularly Since One Of The Foremost Things That Comes To Mind Is Her Sheer Indifference To What Everyone Elses Opinion Of Her
Something I Most Certainly Cannot Imitate
So Delving More Deeply Into The Discrepancies That Have Led To My Depression Is
Even More Daunting

[complexdisorder]

I see. So this is the conundrum of your preoccupation with other's opinions and a preoccupation with attempting to ignore those same opinions.
Kanaya, have you ever heard of exposure therapy?

I CANNOT BREATHE

[speakveryclearly]

No


Are You Going To Suggest I Attempt To
Admire Her From A Slightly Shorter Distance

;)

[complexdisorder]

Firstly, I am not going to comment on the Sapphic undertones of what you just said. Because I am a nice person like that.
Second, I am suggesting that we work on your apprehension through a style of immersion where there is little to no anxiety.
Instead of confronting Porrim head on, perhaps you should acclimatize yourself to her presence in a group.

[speakveryclearly]

Spoken Like A Xenopsychologist Truly Unaware Of Non-Sapphic Modes Of Admiration
I Applaud You Doctor Lalonde

How Large A Group

[complexdisorder]

Why thank you, Kanaya. I do try.

And perhaps 3 or 4 people besides yourself and Porrim. Enough to provide a suitable distraction, but not large enough to overwhelm any sort of benefit.

[speakveryclearly]

I Suppose Im
Open To This Proposal

[complexdisorder]

Wonderful.
There is truly no need to be nervous, Kanaya.

[speakveryclearly]

If You Say So

[complexdisorder]

I do, in fact, say so.
Porrim is actually quite harmless, if a bit coquettish.

[speakveryclearly]

Do You Really Say So
Rainbow Drinkers Are Not In General A Harmless Breed

[complexdisorder]

Certainly not harmless in a traditional sense.
But, I do not believe Porrim would drain my blood and leave my dessicated corpse as in human vampire lore.

[speakveryclearly]

I Mean Absolutely No Offense By This
But Do Keep In Mind That By The Standards Of Alternian Rainbow Drinker Lore You Are A Mutant Whose Blood At Least Holds No Power Of Attraction

[complexdisorder]

Oh, I see.
Of course, no offense taken.
Why would I be offended by being told that my blood makes me repulsive? That would be quite petty.

[speakveryclearly]

[Pause

SHE HAD CAREFULLY EDITED THAT TO AVOID THE WORD REPULSIVE...

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT...]

I Had Carefully Edited That Message To Avoid The Word Repulsive Because As Natural As It Is In That Specific Context Its Hard To Find A Term Further From The Truth Of How I Think Of You

[...

...wait...

Pause]

Im Going To See Who Else Can Be Coerced Into This Cooperative Endeavor Of Yours

[complexdisorder]

[There is a suitable pause before Rose answers.]

It was a joke, but I am glad to hear that you do not find me repulsive because of a little thing like mutant blood color.

I am certain that Karkat would be willing to assist, perhaps Dave if I can convince him.

[speakveryclearly]

[it's like the mod squad except instead of delinquents they're mutants and instead of a male African-American there's a male troll]

Its Practically A Party
Were I Still Capable Of Assessing Normal Food Id Suggest Hors D'Ouerves

[complexdisorder]

A three-fifth's majority of said party still rely on more conventional means of sustenance, so I think hors d'ouerves are not out of the question.
