[Call beginning now!]

You sigh, rubbing your eyes, and turn away from your computer monitor. A voice crackles from your garbage speakers.

"Ey! Bro! He said yeah!"

In front of you sits a boy. He is wearing aviator sunglasses, and a red tee. His head is turned to one side, and he is calling for his brother. When his face turns back to the camera, you grin stupidly.

"Hi," you say, barely able to contain yourself. This is it. You are finally talking to him. He nods, and looks around, distracted.

"Bro? You coming?" He yells. A man sneaks up behind him, completely silent, and pokes him. The boy in front of you jumps, and spins around glaring. The man gives you a hard looking-over.

"He'll do. You are a 'he' right?" You nod, your dyed-black hair falling into your eyes. Oh wait. You should probably introduce yourself. Your name is KARKAT VANTAS. You are an unassuming sixteen-year-old with a few strange quirks. Your first quirk: you are an albino. Your second quirk: you are homeschooled. Your third quirk: you have more friends on the internet than in real life.

"Wow. Okay. I kinda didn't think this would ever happen." Your voice is pathetically raspy and quiet.

"Damn. You really are an albino."

"Well yeah. Why would someone say they're an albino if they aren't?" You turn to one side, and cough into your elbow, hoping it would clear your throat.

"Are you okay?" He asks. You turn to look at him, confused.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"
