Vanitas, would you fucking like to stop your constant need to squirm around?

Shut up, I need a minute to prepare

[ snort. ] If you tense up, you'll only make this fucking worse for yourself.

[ so, so dry. ] Oh, ha ha, you say that like it's not going to hurt. Give me something to bite. [ a beat. ] Your arm is preferred.

It will only hurt like the human conception of Hell for a few seconds, you big wiggler. If you need something to bite, then use your Vanillish. C'mon, Will. Get over here.

[ there's the thudding of footsteps followed by a low 'Axorrrr' from Will, Karkat's Haxorus. ]

I'm not biting that, it tastes like crap! And it's going to hurt long after you shove it back into place, idiot! Get me something to bite or I'm calling this off.

[ another groan. ] Oh my god. Fine! [ the sound that hits the Gear is Karkat digging through his bag. ] Take my extra shirt, shit for brains.

[ there's a grunt and Karkat starts again: ] On the count of three. One... Two - [ insert pop sound and a roar. ] Three.

FFUCK! [ that's a scream, not a yell. ]

That's how bureaucracy works.

action

[shadowdive]

It's still stupid.

[Shifting his arm enough to wince, Vanitas grunts and reaches to manually shift the sling with his other hand. And ignore his stomach growling for a refill on food.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Get some ice on that and I'll get you a sandwich or something.

action

[shadowdive]

[Vani starts to say he isn't hungry, but his gut growls louder. It keeps him from complaining, at least, because he nods instead and lets out the Vanillish to start icing his shoulder and neck.]

.. Alright. Thanks.

action

[usedshooshpap]

I'm starting to wonder what all of your dunderheads would do without me.

[ la la la skipping off to kitchen. ]

action

[shadowdive]

Deal with having a shoulder that was healed wrong. Not know any troll lingo.

[Pushing the puke filled trash can over to the other side of the room again, Vanitas winds up plopping back on his bed and leaning back against the wall while waiting for Karkat to come back, as well as waiting for the Pokemon to finish icing his arm.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat returns, sandwich in hand. he drops the plate on Vani's stomach. ]

I guess I should also clean that up huh?

action

[shadowdive]

[Oofing at the plate dropped on his gut, he blinks down to check out what the sandwich is.] Might help since the stink is gonna linger in the walls if we leave it there much longer.

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ deli style roast beef and swiss. eat it or else.

Karkat rolls his eyes and tugs his shirt off to do this. picking up the trash can, he heads off to the bathroom. ew. ]

action

[shadowdive]

[No complaints. It looks pretty good actually. Picking it up in one hand, he'll take a chomp, half watching.] I forgot to ask before; scar on your stomach. What's that from?

[Don't think he didn't see that back at the lake.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Oh that?

[ the sound of the toilet flushing sounds, followed by running water. so grosssssss! ew ew ew ew.

Karkat comes back in, setting it to the side. he digs around until he finds Johto's version of Lysol. spraying that sucker down. ]

It came from the Game. Jack likes to greet people by stabbing them.

action

[shadowdive]

[Speaking around food in his mouth, yup.]

What a way to leave an impression.

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ turns and just GLARES. ]

Shut your fucking mouth. Jack was the best thing to happen to me in that shitty game.

action

[shadowdive]

For slicing you open? [Frowning at the glare.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

I don't even care about that. He didn't do it again. Well, might have slapped me around a bit, but I needed it. Jack was a really great ally and friend, okay?

[ quiets a little and bites his lip. ]

He also was the first moron ever to see me bleed.

action

[shadowdive]

Whatever, if you say you needed it. [That makes him curious though, raising an eyebrow and sitting up a bit more.]

Yeah? What's that about?

action

[usedshooshpap]

What's what about?

action

[shadowdive]

Seeing you bleed? What's the big deal with that?

action

[usedshooshpap]

Trolls have different blood colors? I never bothered to tell anyone what mine was. Terezi figured it out and I have no idea who else knows.

action

[shadowdive]

So? Blood is blood.

action

[usedshooshpap]

Certain shades get you culled more often than others. Then toss in the fact that shades define caste. Caste is your fucking social standing. Sea dwellers like Eridan are at the top and lowbloods like Sollx are towards the bottom.

Blood matters.

action

[shadowdive]

What's the color range? [Simple, curious question, but he's messing with a big ice shard that's fallen off his frosted shoulder.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Rust red to tyrian.

action

[shadowdive]

... That's definitely a range. [He's giving Karkat a curious look, almost expecting but not asking.] You don't like sharing what yours is then, huh.

action

[usedshooshpap]

It's only twelve shades though. Between them is brown, mustard, lime, olive, jade, turquoise, cerulean, blue, indigo, violet.

And mine? It's none of anyone's business what it is.
