Oh my god... How can anyone want to stick around one place for longer than a few weeks when there's so much shit to get done? I've been settled in Vermillion for only about three weeks and I am already going absolutely shithive maggots. Maybe the best idea is to just blaze through those last few badges, I don't know. What I do know is that one way or another, I am getting the merry fuck on my way. Screw waiting for the weather warm up.

I think my Pichu is feeling it too because he's kind of sparking here and there. Is that normal? Like, my Ampharos when she was a Mareep had this problem, but what the shit do I do to avoid getting shocked this time around? It's not like I can just take care when brushing him! That and he thinks every damn thing is funny at the moment and it just sets him off! Right now it's a never ending spiral of shocking, what I think is giggling, and more shocking. Just make it stop, oh my god.

[ as if on cue, a little Pichu can be heard chiming in and an aggravated huff from a Zangoose. Karkat... he just groans. sighs... ]

Unrelated to all of the globetickling bulgehumps out there and my own trainer problems - which is to say that this message is only for those of my particular joint universes - where the blithering fuck is everyone? I just met up with Eridan a few days ago, but what about everyone else?

[ private to Rose ]

So um. There's a little bit of a problem.

I could ask Kanaya, but I thought... Uh...

It's a height issue, mostly. A little tight in the shoulders?

[ the only reason he isn't asking Kanaya is that this is a gift from Rose and it'd feel awkward to ask Kanaya to adjust it. 8( ]

[[Oh gosh he's getting taller. This is stupidly exciting.]]

Well, I'm not positive if I can adjust it myself. Unfortunately, unless it's a knitted item, I'm not really the person to go to. However, I have a few close acquaintances in the tailor business. If you'd like to visit one of them, they will get that adjusted for you very quickly. I could also purchase you a new set as well.

I'm...not sure how Kanaya would feel, but if you'd rather go to her that wouldn't bother me any.

[ Rose. when you see him again, he'll be at like 5'6" or a little more. ]

...Might ask for a reknitted sweater when we meet up again. I don't really feel like tossing out the one you did last year, but it's getting a little tight and all.

I don't really want you to spend all that money on me either.

I would be more than happy to knit you a new one. I just have to get some new measurements from you. And it's really no problem. That will hardly even be a dip into the funds I've saved up over the past two years.

[[LET HER TAKE CARE OF YOU.]]

I don't know much about clothing, but it looked expensive.

Admittedly it was. But it was nothing I couldn't afford, and neither will this be.

Rose...

[ hear that concern? HEAR IT? ]

[[She hears it alright.]]

Don't you 'Rose' me. It's fine Karkat. I promise.

[[See this reassuring smile? SEE IT?]]

It's the fact that once you have already set your mind to it that has me all Rose-ing.

Well my mind is set so I suppose I've earned that Rose-ing, but still it will do nothing to deter me.

That's what I thought. So you might as well tell me what exactly it is you are set on so I don't make an even bigger fool of myself.

Well, that's up to you. Would you like to visit a tailor or would you like me to purchase you a new set of threads?

[[Aw yee listen to her being all hip and stuff.]]

...Can I visit the tailor first?

[ DOES NOT WANT TO COST MORE MONAY. ]

[[OMG Karkat IT'S FINE.]]

Of course you may. Do you plan on leaving Vermillion any time soon?

Within a week or two, yes. Kanaya wants to go to that convention, but like hell am I going back to Johto again so soon.

Well it's being held in Goldenrod. Meaning you can take the train here and once it's over, take the train back? So unless you are direly desiring being stuck in Johto, you would probably be safe visiting for the con. [[Just a friendly suggestion.]]

Well, visit the tailor there. I'll talk to a few of my friends and have them put in a word.

[[Or casually pay your tab, depending on if they can. She doesn't know how the tailor network works between Johto and Kanto....]]

But I was just over there. It's a pain in the ass to constantly move back and forth just for menial events.

Well there's Valentine's too. And while you obviously have plans already, I was hoping if you were to be in the area that we could do something together. Nothing big and fancy because I wouldn't want to steal the thunder from your date with Vani, of course.

...

Now how the fuck am I supposed to say no to that?

That's a very good question but if you are still considering saying no, I could throw in the kicked puppy eyes too.

Do you really think those eyes would work on me, knowing the real you beneath?

I think they'd have a good chance.

You already have me wrapped around your skinny little digits. I don't know why you think it necessary.

I never said it was necessary, just that I have faith it would work and if you still insisted on staying in Kanto, I wouldn't be afraid to put it to use.

Rose. You are an evil, evil person.
