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.

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?

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

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.

They...


They bleed!?

[ghostytrainer]

Every month, yes.

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!?

They don't just start gushing from every orifice or something, jeez.

That's what you're making it sound like.

Poor Rose.

Well it's...uh. Okay. You do at least know what the whole point of puberty is, right?

audio; private

[usedshooshpap]

Not really no. I just thought it was akin to our pupa stage, what with all of the changes and all.

[ghostytrainer]

Uhhh...okay well. For humans, it's...basically... [Jesus Christ how has nobody had this talk with Karkat yet.]

...our bodies getting to a point where they are able to reproduce. We aren't born able and ready to do that.

[ because he's never needed it? ]

Wait. Seriously? I mean granted, I have the vaguest ideas of how humans reproduce, but I didn't know there was a fucking process to get there.

audio; private

[ghostytrainer]

Yuuuup. There is definitely a process involved. That process is puberty.

Basically, once a girl starts going through all this, every month her body physically gets ready to make a baby. But if that doesn't happen it kinda...how to explain this.

[He pauses, thinking.]

I guess you could say it kind of flushes out all the preparations it made?
