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. ]

[Cracking half a smile, Vanitas reached for a moment to catch his chin and tip his head to get a better look at the mark he went and left. Letting go and waving his Vanillish over, he has the pokemon make a bit of ice in his hand to reach and press it against Karkat's red cheek.]

So you say.

[usedshooshpap]

[ and Karkat just sits there, taking it. ]

So I fucking know.

action

[shadowdive]

I don't care what you insist on "knowing". [Using the ice to give his cheek a very light smack, Vanitas shakes his head.]

Don't hate yourself so much. I like you, and I don't like very many people. Consider it a plus.

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ glares and snaps at with his jaws. a troll gesture, but an ineffective one as a human. ]

Tch. That much was obvious, Vani.

action

[shadowdive]

And it obviously needed to be said. [The snap only makes him snort and chuckle, giving another light smack with the ice.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

You're hitting me again.

action

[shadowdive]

Punishment for crying on me. I already told you I don't deal with tears. [He doesn't hit again though, just pushing the ice more firmly against his face.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Oh please. As if you don't cry.

action

[shadowdive]

I don't unless my shoulder is being snapped. [Physical pain is different from emotional pain though.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

That just means you're being a wuss.

action

[shadowdive]

How is that being a wuss? [Narrowing his eyes about that.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Physical pain is a part of every day life, man.

action

[shadowdive]

Not to that extent. [The ice is starting to melt between fingers and cheek.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Yeah it is. Or it was. I had to fight my Lusus every night.

action

[shadowdive]

Whatever. [When his fingers hit his cheek, it's more of a pat this time. Drawing his hand away though, Vanitas finally moves to stand, stretching his legs.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ rubbing the wetness away a little bit. ]

Pills kicking in at all?

[ guess who is all up and concerned. ]

action

[shadowdive]

Yeah, feels better. You need some yourself? [Giving his limp arm a half pat then to show that he doesn't look to be in as much pain, Vani looks over that red handprint on his cheek again.]

.... Probably shouldn't have hit so hard.

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ shrugs and waves him off. ]

I'm not going to fucking break by one stupid punch or a slap, fuck you very much. It's fine. Jack slaps harder anyway, being a Carapace and all.

action

[shadowdive]

[Snorting and giving a half laugh, he rolls his eyes.] I just know I hit hard. It's not like I pull my punches.

action

[usedshooshpap]

What? You think I'd hold back if roles were reversed here?

action

[shadowdive]

Better not if it ever happens. I can take a hit better, I'm sure. [Half truth, half tease.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Don't make me kick you in the fucking shoulder.

action

[shadowdive]

You wouldn't, not after throwing such a fit about me letting it heal wrong.

action

[usedshooshpap]

I can make shit so uncomfortable for you...

action

[shadowdive]

Right, right, by shortsheeting my bed, huh? [Reaching past Karkat to pick up the empty plate, he's moving back towards the door. Gotta put the dish in the sink or they'll get ants get stray Pokes in here.]
