[ karkat just raises an eyebrow because, yes, that could have been phrased a lot better. he almost points it out but decides against it at the last second because he actually wants information out of luke. ]
She had horns? They were... different than mine though, more pointy. And she had short black hair that was also strangely pointy. And red sunglasses that were pointy-- what the fuck is with this theme here. [ why is terezi pyrope so pointy ] But uhh fuck, she was wearing a black shirt with a libra symbol on it? And, you know what, now that I think about it. In another thing I remember, I was talking to this dude who had a capricorn symbol on his shirt.
[Look, it happens. But he's listening to all of this with very careful consideration because that doesn't sound like anything he's familiar with just yet, but it's something to keep an eye on.]
So she was...a zodiac-loving bipedal shark? You guys are aquatic aliens? [He shakes his head because that sounds really stupid.] Maybe that means something. I'd say maybe it's a girl thing, girls love that kind of shit but if some guy had a capricorn symbol maybe it's a brand of some kind? [Oh no why is he taking this serious.] Libra's symbol is the scales and that usually means like balance and justice, but the capricorn's that water goat so again we go back to potentially aquatic aliens.
[Hmm...but wait.] You didn't grow your horns until recently, right? Just like people's eyes didn't start changing 'til recently...maybe these people really are here and they just haven't changed or whatever yet. That sounds like someone who would stand out, but no offense, Vantas, if you'd told me month ago you'd have candy corn horns growing out of your skull I wouldn't have believed it.
I mean, I guess. I think I'd still be able to tell by their faces though? Even if they aren't grey anymore, their features should still be the same and--
[ he cuts himself off. blinks once, then twice. ]
Sea dwellers. It's not called aquatic aliens, they're sea dwellers. But I think we might be... land... dwellers?
Serious question, do you know how fangs work? [But oh. Okay. So this is happening and he's quietly waiting for Karkat to talk it out.] Sea dwellers and land dwellers. Makes about as much sense as aliens with horns. Didn't think the sea existed in space though. You just remembered something?
You can bite really hard with them. [ obviously?? also i've just decided i'm getting his spiky teeth next physical regain.
but he nods. karkat starts pacing, waving his hands around as he talks. ]
Yeah. I think so? Not enough to answer the ever important question of what the flying fuck, but just that there's two types? So I guess we have an ocean on stupid Troll planet.
Fangs change your entire jaw structure, Vantas. And when that happens, your whole face shifts. You might not even recognize the people you think you should.
[Go ahead and wave your hands, small one.] That says something interesting about the planet though since most planets don't host life. An entire ocean? So I guess that means you'd be one of the land ones. Fish aliens. That's a new one. You sure it tops out at two?
[He's doing his best not to smirk at that, but he's failing a little.]
It's a start. It's not like I understand a ton about where I came from either. Or whatever my memories or hallucination bullshit is telling me. Being sure of one thing is probably better than being unsure of everything.

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Which is probably the most sure I've been about how Troll planet works?
