[ video has Karkat, in full troll skin kinda fussing with his nails. claws. whatever. in yellow Prospit pajamas. ]

Kanaya already said something, so I'm not going to repeat that shit pointlessly. I don't care how this happened. All I know is that I am very, very fucking thankful for it. I am hoping that it will stay that way.

It's not that I'm apposed to being soft and squishy. I just don't feel right in my own goddamn skin. This? This is much more natural.

[ doesn't look very scary with that Joltik perched on his shoulder though. ]

Last time I had this outfit an entire fucking moon blew up...

[ Alternatively ]

[ A) maybe you're just traveling along a route. maybe you're walking in town. suddenly there is this little guy attached to your pant leg. possibly eating it. maybe just chittering and climbing higher and higher.

B) it's a bird, it's a plane! no, likely it's just Karkat. goodhood and all. enjoying flight because he NEVER gets to fly. it's a sore spot. a big, giant sore spot.]

Grey does suit you much more than pink, Karkat.

[Kanaya is glowing contently right now.]

[video]

[papshooshing]

Because pink clashes with red?

[video]

[wontturntostone]

Because it suits your personality.

[Yes she's teasing, she couldn't resist.]

[video]

[papshooshing]

It's totally because of my bright and shining personality - oh wait.

You've got that one covered.

[video]

[wontturntostone]

I do, don't I.

[She makes a happy noise. Kanaya is practically on cloud nine right now.]

I really missed this.

A; BECAUSE GRUBKAT

[ghostytrainer]

[John was wandering aimlessly through the streets of Saffron and enjoying a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie when suddenly he felt a strange, buggy something crawling up his leg. Of all the days to wear shorts instead of pants...]

[John glances down, unable to keep a shudder running through his body because all those little legs on his skin, DO NOT WANT.]

Eugh! [He shakes his leg a little, trying to deter the little grub from crawling any higher.] Shoo, shoo, get off!

LMAO

[papshooshing]

[ WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? JUST LOOK AT IT, JOHN. HOW CAN YOU DENY THIS LITTLE FACE?

the little face that is biting onto your leg to stay on. ]

[ghostytrainer]

[BECAUSE IT'S A WEIRD BUG CRAWLING UP HIS LEG AND EW.]

[John gives a few more gentle shakes until the teeth sink in.]

Yeowch!!!! You little fucker, let go!! That hurts!!! [He reaches down and tries to pull the little bug thing off without ripping out a chunk of his flesh in the process. And that's when he realizes something. The horns. The grey skin. This can only be...]

You're a baby troll, aren't you? [Yes, because clearly the grub can talk and understand him. That's a thing that babies do.] Come on...that really hurts dude, let go. [He gives a few more gentle tugs.]

[papshooshing]

[ MAYBE. JUST MAYBE he'll let go. but not without glaring at John and hisssssstttttt-ing. ]

[ghostytrainer]

There we go, much better. [With his leg free of tiny fangs, John attempts to pull the little grub off his leg entirely so that he can hold it and take a closer look. That's right, he's completely ignoring the fact that this thing is hissing at him. Way to go, John.]

Hehe, pissy little guy aren't you? You almost remind me of-- [Wait a minute those nubby horns...] Son of a bitch you are Karkat, aren't you?

[fangking]

[ ...

well. okay then. ]

At least you're not as weird as those fucking horses-turned-human.


[ a.k.a. hey your 'real' form is actually kind of cool. agito approves. ]

[papshooshing]

You mean the psychos that have to make a horsepun every other word?

Fuck that. I hate puns.

video;

[fangking]

Fucking shit, seriously? If anyone tries to pull that shit with me I'll rip out their throat and strangle them with it.

video;

[papshooshing]

It's a thing that will happen. Mark my words with a highlighter.

video;

[fangking]

Then there will be a shitload of ex-horses missing throats!!

Thank fucking god you can hang up on people with these pieces of crap.

[timelymaid]

You know it won't, though, right?

[ CHEERFULLY... ]

[papshooshing]

Things I didn't need to hear today:

That.

video;

[timelymaid]

Well, don't you kind of remember the last time? I think this is something that happens on occasion.

You should just enjoy it while you can, Karkat!

video;

[papshooshing]

Vaguely? It's not crystal clear, but hazy as if it had been a dream.

video;

[timelymaid]

Yes, exactly! But according to Kayneth and the others, losing time like that has happened before, and so it can be assumed that whatever this is happens periodically at those "lost time" moments.

At least, that's the conclusion we reached after discussing it a lot.

A because little wriggu Karkat

[image_problem]

[This clone was walking through the routes, hand in pockets, trying to figure out where to go next. It didn't seem nothing was going to stop this girl from her little walk. Not even a weird grub bug hanging off her leg is going to stop her.]

[...though she is really annoyed by the little creature's presence.]

[papshooshing]

[ that's cool. be annoyed. he lives to make you miserable.

sort of. now he's just kind of happy to get a ride. maybe even working his way up to a shoulder. ]

[image_problem]

[Even digital clones have some idea of personal space and this bug guy was kind of entering that space.]

[She's going to stop in her tracks and just look at the crawling bug with a sneer on her look.] What do you think you're doing?

[papshooshing]

[ grubby here gives this strange hornless girl a look. a very flat look. as if he is saying WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT LOOK LIKE I AM DOING. I AM SITTING HERE. MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS. HOW ABOUT YOU DO THE SAME?

instead he chitters and clicks. aggressively. SO AGGRESSIVELY. ]

[image_problem]

[The grub's chitter-chatter didn't really phase the girl, as shown by her emotionless face. Instead she took her hands out of her pockets and with the hand that had her Pokegear in it, she's just going to start hitting Karkat-grub with it. Sorry Karkat but she's not a softie.]
