don't drink the special milk

♋ PCG 9

[Action; 1338 Benny Road]

[Karkat took his turn with the milk on the first day, to bring Jade back from kill drone state. He's been dealing with the after effects of the nasty poison that was inside ever since.

But today it was his turn again. He had been too sick the day before to prevent Jade from drinking her share, but this evening he prevented that from happening again by just refusing to go to sleep. Once he heard the milk delivery in the morning, he dragged his ass down to the front door to drink the bottle.

His housemates will find him still downstairs, holding the empty bottle of milk. He has the TV turned on to some infomercial for a groundbreaking new blender, and he's watching in fascination and horror.]

[Phone]

[Karkat's voice sounds hoarse and urgent when he picks up the phone to call Mayfield later that day.]

Okay.

Don't look now.

But the horrorterrors are right behind you.

Oh fuck! You unbelievable dumbass, I told you not to look!

[Action; Around Mayfield]

[Shortly after the phone call, Karkat wanders outside for a little bit, not really paying attention to where he's walking. He's carrying a paper towel roll curved in a way that looks vaguely like a sickle, and is swiping it randomly at the air from time to time.]

[Phone; Later]

[Much, much later that night, an extremely tired but lucid sounding Karkat makes a phone call once again.]

Wow. Uh.

So, I'm sure Jade and Gamzee didn't let me make any phone calls or anything earlier, right?

Just making sure about that.

[He's missed her, too. He never knows what to do with her when she's there, he just gets angry or embarrassed and acts like an asshole, but when she's not there he always regrets that so much. He's just afraid of not being good enough. Just like Noah was. Yes, he's still thinking of the movie, too.

But not much. Not enough to consider stopping when it will probably take him another series of disasters, separations, and soppy love stories to give him the nerve to kiss her again.]

[

I mean damn it Karkat why is this all so sad but true.

SIGH]

[Oh well she will keep with this while she can, because half the awkward is her own fault anyway for generally being terrible at things that involve actual feelings and don't involve pretend dragon roleplay and trolling.

One day they will probably be a little more mature than thoh who am I kidding.

She kicks the pillow onto the floor and settles on his lap so that even if he pulls away she'll get to trap him here and I don't know lick his face or something, just like in The Notebook, in a scene that never happened but could have happened if troll Allie was blind and also had a dragon lusus. An entire world of possibilities. These tears will go to good use.]

[Okay, he'll pretend that someone licking his tears away is a turn on and not just kind of horribly uncomfortable, but he's not planning on going anywhere, so I guess it's okay. He just wraps his arms around her waist and there are only so many things I can write about kissing, but they sure are kissing.]

[They sure are.

They sure are.

Actually they are doing a great job of missing very critical(!!!!!) scenes in the movie but who cares.]

[That's okay he can explain to her later that Allie chooses Noah and her smarmy fiancee is brutally culled when he doesn't find a new matesprit in time, and that the degenerative elderly slated to be killed due to their failure to contribute to society were Allie and Noah all along.

This is almost certainly what she's worrying about right now, and he will reassure her.]

[Wow yes that's clearly what she's thinking about and thank gog she has Karkat to console her about it with sloppy makeouts. He can console her all she wants.

Shh only comfort now.]

[ Jade is still pretty out of it when she wanders back into the living room, and still migrating in her blanket cocoon, so when she sees the movie on and figures Karkat is probably crying by this point and maybe he wants some company.

It isn't until she plops herself down on the couch that she realizes oh, he already has company and oh, he's making out with his company.

See Karkat when you get emotional you just can't help this stuff. Did she tilt your chin too?

Well she's already there, and it's not like she wants to be rude, but haha no privacy for you Karkat deal with it.

Jade is actually staring at them right now, her eyes extra wide behind her glasses, not in shock or disgust but just sort of...regular staring. ]

...

[ She clears her throat. ]

Hi.

Edited 2011-08-23 14:54 (UTC)

[Karkat doesn't really notice her because he is in sloppy makeouts bliss. But it is kind of hard to ignore someone clearing their throat several feet away from you. He pulls away long enough to glance over at her, and then sits up with a start, trying to push Terezi to a more respectable distance but that's kind of hard to do with someone sitting on top of you.

But this is basically the worst situation possible; this whole having a person who wants to make out with you scenario is a fairly new and still very embarrassing one, not to mention the confusing relationship he has with Jade. Which, all things considered, it's probably a good thing she knows about Terezi now, he even told her back when he couldn't lie that he was sort of with someone, but that thought isn't helping right now. He's starting to blush bright red and also shaking a little with rage.]

Harley, holy shit! Has it ever occurred to you to maybe fucking knock?

[Yes, knock, to enter the living room of your own house...]

[Oh okay Karkat go ahead and shove the blind girl off of you. Terezi almost falls off of the couch but manages to catch her balance. The first thing she does is smack him upside the head.] What is your pr-

[OH WELL OKAY there's... someone else here isn't there... Terezi is met by disappointment then a faint twinge of annoyance, but she should've expected an interruption! Nothing ever goes right for them. Oh well. She puts on her typical grin.]

Is that the Jade human?

[Instead of sounding horrified or embarrassed or even angry like Karkat, Terezi manages to sound pretty delighted, if only because maybe it will make Karkat less angry! Maybe.] You're not interrupting anything, you know! Hahaha! We were just watching a movie.

[Well, Gamzee had been dozing off behind the couch this whole time - Karkat's movies have a tendency to put him under almost instantly - but all of the shouting has finally managed to wake him up. Sup guys, have a clown face suddenly pop up from behind the couch like some kind of awful horror movie.]

Whooooa, blindtits, when'd you all up and get here? Hahaha, we having some kinda motherfuckin' party?

What? [ Karkat's question doesn't quite register with her, and the same goes for his rage. ] Why would I...

[ There isn't even a door to knock on. Besides, it's not like he knocked, so let's not try to be giant hypocrites here. She leans forward to look over at Terezi, unable to identify her but still able to figure out who she is anyway. ]

That's me! And you're Terezi?

[ It doesn't really come out sounding like a question, because Jade's pretty sure she already knows. Even in her I died yesterday and feel like crap haze, she can put this together.

Oh yay and now Gamzee is here too. ]

Hi Gamzee. [ Scoooooching over towards Karkat and Terezi, because it is really unfair that they are all on the couch and there's no room for him. ] Do you want to watch this movie with us?

[ You guys weren't doing anything important right? :O ]

Yes! Let's enjoy this fucking movie together! Everyone, just pile around! Wow, Gamzee, didn't know you were there, but sure, go ahead, nap wherever the fuck you want and don't warn people you're sitting there! It's so fucking fantastic to share a hive with you considerate shitheads.

[Getting up and storming out of the room!]

[towards Jade, she smiles, wishing she could smell her. Jade would probably smell pretty good, she thinks.]

That's me!

[wait] Oh, hi, Gamz, where'd you come from? [she wasn't able to see Gamzee emerge from behind the couch like a clown-makeupped murderer, so his voice in such close proximity is confusing her. Terezi realizes that maybe... he's been there watching the whole time?

it wouldn't surprise her.

wow, creepy.

and Karkat is getting no less angry, so when he gets up she kind of falls to her side and looks a little dismayed. of course, she's disappointed too! but seeing him get angry about it is worse.]

Damn it, Karkat, do you always have to get all mad like this- well of course you do!

[bluh bluh she tries to follow and just... falls off the couch.

she decides to just lie there because this can't get any more sad and humiliating, and also because she wants to try licking the carpet.]

Haha, sounds like bitching time to me, hivesis. And uhhh...I think I came from upstairs? Wasn't this motherfuckin' dark when I did, though.

[beams at Karkat]

Aww, I think it be real fantastic too, best friend. You grabbing us some snacks? Thanks, bro!

[oh hey now he is alone with Terezi and Jade

he is cool with this

just going to slouch all over the couch and try to drape himself over both for some stoner cuddle times, fuck yeah he's good enough to do that]

So what are we watching?

Edited 2011-08-24 01:43 (UTC)

[ Jade is totally down for some cuddles. She sighs and settles herself comfortably against Gamzee, far too tired to try and soothe the savage beast that is Karkat Vantas. Later she will probably apologize for this interruption and ruining his make out times, but for the moment the only thing she really cares about are cuddles and maybe trying to figure out what is going on in this movie. ]

I don't actually know.

[ She yawns, head drooping in a way that suggests she probably won't make it to the credits. ]

[Well fine, he's just going to go sulk in his bedroom and leave you assholes to the movie. You can probably hear him slam his door really loudly to make sure you're aware of this.]

[untangles herself in an attempt to follow the sound

walks into the wall

falls over again

gets up

walks into the other wall

this isn't going as well as she'd hoped. she yells up to the ceiling.]

Are you really abandoning me down here with them!

[...turns to Gamzee and Jade] No offense.

[okay time to try again

...trips onto the stairs]

Why didn't anyone warn me about these stairs!

[well he would get up to help her

except then he'd have to stop cuddling Jade

DECISIONS DECISIONS haha yeah no he'll go with the choice that lets him move the least]

Shit, chica, watch out for those motherfuckin' stairs. They be real vicious, yo.

[ o o p s and Jade is out like a light.

sorry their house isn't more blind girl friendly, terezi. 8( ]

[Oh, well he was just going to ignore them before that ominous sounding stair thump, but now he's sort of coming out to assess the situation.]

Gamzee, I know this may not have occurred to you. Actually, it definitely didn't occur to you! But your warning is much too late.

[she laughs anyway because somehow Terezi is able to laugh at everything and just... lies there... on the stairs...

this is ironic right, she's doing it for coolkid ironic purposes.]

[tucks Jade in closer ;u;]

Whoops, haha, soooooorry. At least now you motherfuckin' know, yeah?

[going downstairs to help Terezi up, whoops.]

[shoves...]

Dumbass!

[but she accepts his help, leaning on him.]

That was meant for both of you, by the way.
