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?

I noticed that right away. Already this month I've grown a full inch.

[ pauses... ] Guess that might explain the random bursts of pain in my bones. Fucking hell...

[ he's about to complain about that when he catches something else. hair. zits? may or may not be a problem. Karkat is kind of obsessed with cleanliness, you know. ]

Hair? Shame globes dropping? What!?

Ah, it's not literal! Like they don't fall of or anything they just kind of grow and...hang. A little more than they did before. But yeah, hair. On your face, on your legs, underarms, chest, and uh...other places.

[ okay. growing and hanging... not a big deal. right? well... not as much as the other thing. ]

Oh my fucking god. Why must you humans be covered in fucking HAIR!?

[ voice. cracking. ]

How should I know, I don't make up the human puberty rules!!!

I think I'm going to be sick...

It's just hair, it's not that bad. Hell, you can shave it off.

AND SHRED MY FLESH IN THE PROCESS!? ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!?

Oh jesus... [Resisting the urge to introduce his face to his palm here.] If you know what you're doing, you won't cut yourself. It just takes a little practice, that's all.

SAYS THE LITTLE BOY WHO WOULD JUST LOVE TO BE A GREAT FUCKING FURRY APE OF A MAN!

Dude, we're basically the same age! You can't call me a little boy any more than I can laugh at you for your voice cracking.

[A beat.]

Oh and furry ape is a bit far. I don't want to be a walking carpet or anything, Christ.

Who is the one going through human puberty here?

Technically, both of us. Though admittedly, it sounds like you are going through it a little faster than I am.

How much variance can there be here?

Lots. Everyone hits it at different times and it takes different amounts of time to go through it. It just depends on the person.

That's just ridiculous...

[Shrug.]

That's just how it is. We have it easy though. At least we don't bleed every month.

...

What.

Well guys and girls don't go through the same pubertal changes, obviously! Girls typically don't have facial hair and guys typically don't have boobs, in case you haven't noticed.
