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. ]

Ice works just as well and won't make me sleep.

[He's making a bit of a face at that, but grunts because he can't be seen, nope.] It's always working.

[Not completely; Vanitas made no motion to stop Dartanian, after all.]

Right. But judging from how loud you screamed, you didn't have any of that, either.

[Ah, the wonders of audio keeping him from seeing her linefacing so hard at him. Instead he gets that flat tone, now flatter than ever. She's not impressed, boy.] Right. Like it was working when you decided to punch your Charizard and then not get your arm properly looked at. Do you have any idea how stupid that was?

[Ah, so they're both to blame. Good to know, even if it doesn't. actually. matter now. Ah, well.]

Shut up. [Hissing with the comment, he makes an irritable clearing of his throat.]

He never had the sense to dodge until then. That was months ago though, so why anyone is giving me crap for it now is stupid.

[Getting angry is only going to make her tone flatter, Vanibutt. Might wanna tone down on the hissing.]

You're right about that. It's about as stupid as not going to a professional to get the job done properly. What'll you do if your arm heals wrong this time? Have someone else break it again?

[He's a jerk though.]

Butt out. It feels better than it did before it was broke, and that's saying something. I'm pretty sure it is going to heal fine. And you know what? If it doesn't? Yeah. Breaking it again would have to be the fix.

[Clearly. She doesn't care, though. It's just the hissing she has issues with. Makes you sound like a snake and she doesn't like snakes much.]

Then all I can say is I hope you're smart enough to go to a nurse at that point. I'm probably going to be proven wrong, though.

[Of course, if you prove her right and actually go to a nurse, she may just be relieved. Maybe. If she liked you even a little.]

I don't like the nurses, so no, I'm not going to go to them. Ever.

[Not even the teensiest bit?]

[Vanitas, you sound like a small child throwing a tantrum. Really not helping your cause!]

We'll see if you're still saying that the next time you're in that much pain. You might change your mind.

[Nope. Not even the teensiest bit...and given your track record with her friends, can you blame her?]

[Wouldn't you like to know he's only six-]

I doubt it. [Growling a bit, he grunts.] Are you done lecturing, mom? [Not that he knows what mothers do.

And not particularly 8D]

[...that explains so much. Now if only she knew!]

That depends. Are you done being stupid about this? [Pfft. Van, you don't want her as your mother. She wouldn't stop at lectures if she was.

And good. It means she won't feel bad if she ever has to turtleflip you one day.]

[oops]

I'm not being stupid about this. I don't trust the nurses, so I'm obviously not going to let them touch me.

[She gets that, really. It's not easy to trust someone who looks and acts so...empty most of the time, but...]

They're not going to kill you, you know. It would go against everything they are to do something like that.

Last time I was there, they wanted to "fix my heart". I don't care if it's a literal half a heart, it's mine, and I'm not letting them carve it out to put some stranger in me. [Dang nurses really pushed at it, but can't do it without permission of course..]

[siiiiigh. Really? That's what this is about? They clearly don't have hospitals where he's from, half a heart or otherwise...and how the hell is he still alive if he's telling the truth about that?!]

You know they can't do that without your consent, don't you? They can't do much of anything if you're awake and you didn't give them permission.

[Emergency medical care is one thing. A heart transplant is another.]

[The body wasn't supposed to last this long bawwww]

.... Then good. They shouldn't have been pushing it while I was barely conscious. [No, he didn't know, but he's not... that inclined on seeing those nurses again anytime soon.]
