Once some of you fresh meat are finished freaking the fuck out and actually work towards getting settled into your environments...

Here is a golden opportunity, so open your auricular sponge clots and listen up. I have some eggs that I need to get rid of. Twenty fucking seven eggs, in fact. There's a variety and what doesn't get taken by some happy new partner slash owner gets set free into the wilds to defend itself.

[ not really. he'll ship the remaining eggs to the day care or something. there's still plenty there to snatch up! ]

So don't let them get eaten by wild Sneasels! Just fucking take them! One of the Axew eggs is for the oddly named human Hiccup.

Otherwise? I've got nothing. I do want to ask if anyone has any leads on what the fuck happened the last week, but I'm doubtful that anyone really knows who was behind that shit.

I wonder how long these effects are going to stick around.

[ it takes a few minutes for Karkat to register it as hand holding, but he does. and then he lets them drop. ]

[shadowdive]

[Letting his hands drop too, he just settles them back into being curled around in that hold.]

[usedshooshpap]

Pfft.

[shadowdive]

What? [He's not turning his head up to look at him this time.]

[usedshooshpap]

Nothing. Just thinking.

[ About how ridiculous this is. about how well they work. ]

[shadowdive]

[He starts to ask 'about what', and instead settles for just.. snuffing quietly. It's a content sound, and he's not making a motion to get up right away when the buzzer goes again.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ instead Karkat gives a little whistle. Alex and Leopold come in. guess they're going to cuddle the eggs up. that should make Vanitas happy. ]

[shadowdive]

[He gives a small snorted chuckle on seeing that, and his arms tighten a moment before relaxing again; that was a hug, ladies and gentlemen.

It did make him happy though, the warmth fluttering around in his chest; because it meant he didn't have to get up from this comfortable place.]

[usedshooshpap]

While I've got you here and it doesn't seem like you're too keen on getting the fuck up...

I noticed a rather large increase in our funds a few weeks back.

[shadowdive]

Yeah? I took on a side job. [His eyes lower a bit, but he doesn't say more. It was from that job he took as "Xehanort", fighting some kid for a yo yo, because the Cobra is the dunce of Team Rocket. If he can find out anything, it would be through that loud mouth.]

[usedshooshpap]

A "side job" doesn't pay that well over fucking night.

[shadowdive]

It was a big side job. [That was done in one night.]

[usedshooshpap]

Is it "legal" Vanitas?

[shadowdive]

It's so I can gather information later. [Tips his head and looks up finally, his face serious.] Don't worry about it anymore.

[usedshooshpap]

[ squinting. he doesn't REALLY want to drop it. ]

[shadowdive]

[After a few minutes of a squint staredown, Vanitas sighs and grunts.] You can't tell anyone.

[usedshooshpap]

Since when have I told any secrets of yours?

[shadowdive]

I haven't had any real secrets. This one, I don't want anyone knowing, because it would blow my cover.

[usedshooshpap]

Okay, first of all: how dangerous is this shit and how often do I get to berate you for being an idiot and continuing this line of work?

[shadowdive]

So far, not that dangerous. And why do you feel like you need to berate me for being an idiot? [Snorts gently and there's another squeeze of his arms, almost trying to reassure.]

[usedshooshpap]

Ask yourself this: Is what you do something you'd force me to stop?

[shadowdive]

Yes. [No hesitation.]

[usedshooshpap]

Then why shouldn't I ride your ass about it?

[shadowdive]

I'm waiting for an idiot to spill information on Team Rocket. Doing odd jobs for him is to gain his trust. If anything, the good pay should cover if I get injured and can't work for a while. [As if 'information on Team Rocket' is the best reason.]

[usedshooshpap]

How long have you been doing this and what all do you have to show for it?
