[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.

[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.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[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?

[echidna]

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 ]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

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!]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[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.]

fuck yes i get to use this icon ICly, just pretend vriska is jade okay

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

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?

[echidna]

[ 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. ]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[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!

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[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.

[echidna]

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

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

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

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.]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[tucks Jade in closer ;u;]

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

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[going downstairs to help Terezi up, whoops.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[shoves...]

Dumbass!

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

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

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Haha, both of who?

[looks over at her]

Oh hey, best friend, when'd you all up and come back? You're just in time, I think the movie done started already.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's almost over, asshole. If you're going to watch it, watch it from the beginning.

[Helping Terezi up and talking to her.]

Okay, okay, sorry I stormed off.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Yes, Gamzee. Don't you know it is a cinematic masterpiece?

[she is obviously being sarcastic but it's for Karkat's sake.... and speaking of him, she tugs on his hair for good measure as she leans on him]

You left me all alone with these stairs. You are terrible. You are the worst!

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Whooooooooa, chica, I didn't know it be a motherfuckin' masterpiece. That why there's so many motherfuckin' pails all up on over the screen? [i guess it's the scene where they have sex idk i haven't I MEAN GAMZEE HASN'T seen this movie before]

Haha, best friend, you really should have warned her about them motherfuckin' stairs.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Shut up, both of you. It is a masterpiece and that scene is fucking tasteful and important to the plot.

[siiiiigh.]

It's not my fucking fault, but fine. We can go back and watch the stupid end with Gamzee if that's what you want.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[oh jegus Karkat why do you still think she even gives a fuck about the ending

SIIIIIIIIIIIGN]

...Of course! There is clearly nothing I want more, and you read my mind exactly, knowing for a fact that it is definitely missing the end of the movie I am upset about.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[wow Terezi how could you not care about the ending to a cinematic masterpiece that is the representation of your love for each other

not that Gamzee knows this, he thinks this movie is about birds]

Aww well, if you be that motherfuckin' down about it, we can wind the movie back a few. I think that one motherfucker is all about to go red and shit for that other motherfucker. Haha, I love a good happy ending, shit be full of miracles. [he's talking about Allie and her totally cooler, more attractive highblood fiance....]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I know you don't care, but just tell me what you fucking want from me, because--

[Well, that's what he was starting to say, but that is before he gets a glance at the screen and realizes Gamzee just said something unforgivable.]

Fuck no! What's wrong with you, you slack-jawed douche? He's fucking terrible! She can't stand him!

[Actually, the movie wants you to feel sympathetic for the fiancee, but Karkat does not. How dare that smug highblood go around being attractive and likable all the time? Who does he think he is? Not Noah, that's for sure.]

[echidna]

[ Sudden wake up!!!

She looks confused. ;u;

What's going on. ]

Stop yelling.
