[ hello people of Johto an Kanto. are you ready for Vanitas and Sollux fighting? welp. sure hope you are because that's exactly what's going on here. ]

Quit taking up all the space.

I'm taking up all the space? You're the one with hair bigger than your head, asshole.

I'd cut it but can't have knives on a train, idiot. Now move over.

Like you couldn't have done it before we left? Newsflash: when you're sitting in a train, not everyone has room for their luscious flowing locks. [He's not moving an inch.]

[ Karkat groans... and the two continue to bicker in the background. ]

Oh my fucking god they will not stop! I knew this was such a bad idea. I should have gotten a different seat. One lodged all the way in the back so that they can continue to romance each other in the blackest of dances. I mean seriously, holy shit! People are staring at us, but no! Oh no. They have to prattle on and argue about goddamn hair of all things!

[ in the background: I don't really care how long it gets; quit your whining and find something better to bitch about other than my hair. ]

It's. Fucking. Hair!

[ also in the background: It's also a national fucking emergency. Look at it. You could hide a bomb in that thing. ]

Someone help me. I don't think I can take another three hours of this asinine garbage. If I am forced to sit through this festering cesspool of petty fights, I might be two travel partners down...

Shut it, I don't want some officials thinking that could be true and putting their nasty hands all over my head!

Pokémon Center got blown up? Ok. Freaky magic powers? Sure. But it could go off at any minute and we could destroy miles of valuable Johto countryside. [ ... ] Look, I do not feel safe with your hair around, ok.

SOMEONE FUCKING PLEASE!

(( ooc: gray is Karkat, red is Vanitas, and icky beautiful yellow is Sollux. ))

action yep

[shadowdive]

I'm not going bald to make you of all people feel safe.

[Shoving again, he wants his god damned leg room, and he is going to get his god damned leg room. Sitting in one place for so long is an enormous pain in the butt, and it's almost literal with how his butt feels numb from sitting for so long.]

Re: action yep

[viiru2alert]

That is extremely inconsiderate.

[Completely unfazed, Sollux crosses his legs. At the knee.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat's just.... ducking down and curling into a seated ball.

you two are so fucking embarrassing oh my god. ]

[shadowdive]

Like I care.

[Come on you living twig, MOVE OVER. Shoves a bit harder.]

[Snickering] Awwwwwwww. Poor Karkat is trapped between this blossoming black romance.

[usedshooshpap]

Don't I know it.

[ pause. ]

That reminds me. I need to ask you something of a more... Personal nature.

Video;

[8etterl8]

[That's odd...]

Sure. What's on your mind?

Video; private - so, so sorry

[usedshooshpap]

When Eridan came over for a visit we got into it a bit.

[ rubs at his cheek. a nervous tick. ]

So I gotta ask. I know you probably won't take it seriously and shit, but fuck if I'm not going to try.

Do you regret any of it? At all?

[roemance]

yeah wwell you only brought it ON YOURSELF dont you think kar
i think its a bit too late to be complainin about it noww dont you

[Is he only talking about the train ride here or...?]

[usedshooshpap]

I don't doubt that I did. Should have fucking knocked 'em out before boarding.

[ not touching anything but the obvious. ]

[roemance]

[kingofbelheir]

Sounds as though you're having a blast.

[He's got to admit, Karkat, that that background arguing is something he finds funny. He's here to be a distraction, though - and hey, why not learn something, too...?]

Who're you travelling with?

video;

[usedshooshpap]

I knew what I was in for. Just wish I would have been smarter about it.

[ groans and rubs his face. ]

It's Vanitas and Sollux.

video; DON'T WORRY THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH ME TOO ;A;

[kingofbelheir]

Planning ahead is always best.

[A small smile is creeping onto his lips.]

I don't think I've met them. Probably should, at some point.

Want to talk? Might help you ignore them.

[Subject's up in the air. If you say yes he's more then willing to ask about your life, Karkat. He's not a man to pry, though.

besides he needs to get better at initiating conversations and knows this very well since he no longer has atsuro to act as his conversation starter sob]

[[Don't mind the chuckling.]]

Have you, by chance, invested in headphones or ear plugs? It might be a splendid time to put those to use. You could also consider putting them to sleep if you have a Pokemon small enough that knows Hypnosis.

[papshooshing]

I have earphones, but I can't reach them at the moment. Julia also evolved so I can't exactly use her sing attack.

Video;

[tentacletrainer]

[[And a sympathetic wince followed by an equally such smile.]]

If you have the room then, once you leave the train, you should look into getting a Pokemon whose sole purpose is to put those two to sleep on the train. For now though, have you tried threatening them? 'You will both sleep outside tonight if you do not settle down.' Supposedly that works well on children.

[audio]

[used_trick]

I think it's sorta cute.

[Because Karkat was right, this is totally flirting. Or at the very least, highly reminiscent of the arguments that would routinely break out all the time at Arkham. Harley's getting all nostalgic here.]

Could'ya just move to another seat or something?

[audio]

[usedshooshpap]

The train's pretty full. That's the problem.

[Video]

[anignorantfool]

Romance?

[This goes beyond a little human ignorance in terms of troll concepts of 'romances' into something more personal for him. Since people seem to think his constant fighting with Winry equates to the same thing - which is just ridiculous!]

[Video]

[usedshooshpap]

Vanitas doesn't see it that way, but Sollux should know better than to black flirt with someone that wouldn't get it.

[Video]

[anignorantfool]

So this black flirting thing is common where you guys are from?

[Thinking Vanitas isn't from the same world as the other two. He's probably going to regret asking this...]

How is calling someone an asshole romantic?

[Or hitting them with a wrench.]

text;

[ghostytrainer]

any chance you can sleep the rest of the trip?
or are they too loud for that?

[usedshooshpap]

Thank you, Egbert. That's actually sound advice.

[ghostytrainer]

napping is basically always a good alternative.
or if they're distracted enough with their bickering, tie their shoelaces together.
that will teach them.
