Hopefully everyone is done wallowing in shame and embarrassment from that party enough for me to say that if I see mistletoe next year, I will fucking burn the place to the ground. Also, the adult Lalonde is not allowed to add her special "touch" to anything that might go into the bile sacks at any group function. Not that I don't appreciate the sentiment, but the end result was excruciating to watch.

Now that the official business is over, I've got a dilemma here. Obviously the first of the week, I'm going back towards Kanto. Big surprise, I know. What is surprising is that I don't know what I want to do. There are still four badges for me to get, but the question is... Do I just stay in Vermillion or Fuchsia until more tolerable traveling weather is in sight or just  keep going? I'm a little on the fence because it's fucking cold and I hate traveling in it.


[ Locked to Kanaya ]

Hey, is everything all right? I saw you leave the party, but didn't really get the chance to catch up with you.

[ /Locked ]

Oh, right. The Deino hatched yesterday. What the fuck is with these hyperactive hatchlings I've got recently?

[usedshooshpap]

See. Now that I can't let you do.

[roemance]

Okay okay fine, but I didn't do that. She actually wants to go on a date with me an' is even lookin' forward to it.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

You can't actually stop me Karkat.

And at that point it would be deserved.

[licentious]

None. [ No seriously. She doesn't want to make Karkat a pawn because she kinda doubts his efficiency and his acquaintances. If it keeps them in Vermillion whilst she can go around and defend/attack the radio tower or whatever it's good for her. ] Just make sure not to leave the place a mess, because I haven't hired a maid and I don't intend to.

[papshooshing]

I wonder why this place does that.

[timelymaid]

To mess with our heads?

[ SHRUG. ]

[usedshooshpap]

I have to, Kanaya.

[voice]

[usedshooshpap]

...And?

[usedshooshpap]

You're joking, right?

[ Karkat is so OCD on cleanliness, you know. ]

[Voice]

[papshooshing]

There is always a need for caution.

[papshooshing]

I don't know... We've never had a group outing that big before. But it just isn't like her at all.

[wontturntostone]

I understand your emotional relationship to him, I do. I would not wish to come between the two of you but sometimes it is unavoidable.

[voice | Private]

[papshooshing]

It is avoidable.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

Maybe. If he does not try anything.

And given his disposition as an insane clown I am not really sure I would bet many boondollars on that outcome.

Or...poke...

What is this money called again? I keep losing track.

[shadowdive]

Soon as you can see her, you'll have to ask. [He knows he won't be of much help regarding whatever it could be; Karkat is the best choice.] Is she coming with us?

[Voice]

[shippingmath]

In varying degrees, sure. You can't stay hyper-alert at all times.

[licentious]

No. [ Cold, flat. ] While I may not be the friendliest or cheeriest person in the world, I'm not as cruel as to let a [ LOL no she'll never say the word friend. Even if her acting skills are subpar, her mind, for a infinitesimal second considers the word but even, mentally, she fails to pronounce it. ] - an acquaintance freeze himself and his traveling companions on the road.

[usedshooshpap]

I was actually commenting on me keeping shit nasty and gross. That does not fly with me.

What about you, though?

[Voice]

[usedshooshpap]

Why not?

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

...You know what? I don't even fucking pay attention. I just hand them the dough and that's that.

[licentious]

[ Oh? Well, she loves cleanliness. ]

Well, I'm certain you're a clean person, despite your dirty mouth. [ HA. Did you see what she did there? ] However, I was merely stating this on the off chance that you have some less than sanitary guests.

I work hard to keep my places tidy, mostly because I used to have a companion that'd eat anything from couches to dry wall, and it'd be best to make sure he didn't get sick. [ Gluttony was one weird ass homunculus. ]

[usedshooshpap]

Haha. Aren't you fucking hilarious...

I think the only one in my group we'll have to watch is Makara. Kanaya won't let shit like that fly either.

It won't be trashed. Promise.

[usedshooshpap]

I'm going to ask her if she wants to, at least. But I won't force her to if she'd rather work on Johto instead of Kanto.

Most people seem to want to do that anyway.

[shadowdive]

[Shrugs.] Kanto is better, other than Ecruteak.

[usedshooshpap]

You and I both know that, but it's like a fucking wasteland over here.
