[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.

[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.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[sighs and disentangles herself from Karkat and joins the other two on the couch again without smacking into walls this time!!]

Jegus, Gamzee, didn't you know that's the one she's breaking it off with for her one true matesprit??

Even though I don't think there is anything wrong with him in particular... Oh well! Karkat come over here, there's room for you.

[no there's not, she's kind of struggling to fit in with Gamzee and Jade as it is.....]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Aww, really? He be seeming like a real nice motherfucker to me, though. Is this all what supposed to be a blackrom movie, then?

[that's okay, Gamzee is flexible, he will make room

just gonna squeeze himself even closer to Jade, try to tuck Terezi against him, and then wave at Karkat to get into this cuddlefest...

...yeah, at this rate, someone's going to wind up having to sit on someone else's lap and no one wants a lapful of bony clown]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Sitting down on the farther possible end of the couch from the cuddlefest. The end near Terezi, of course. He's giving kind of a suspicious and annoyed look at Gamzee as soon as he starts trying to cuddle with her.]

No, fucknuts.

She only wants to be his matesprit because he's a highblood and it's what's expected of her, but she has to follow her vascular sac and choose the person who really makes her happy.

It's so obvious.

[echidna]

[ Awww Karkat why don't you want to join the cuddle fest? It's so nice and...cuddly. She curls up against Gamzee, slides her arms around him and turns her head just enough to see the movie and try and figure out what's going on. ]

That's so romantic! [ Although she's not really following. ] Does that happen a lot with troll romance?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[leans compliantly back on Gamzee WOW THIS SURE IS COMFORTABLE KARKAT YOU CAN JUST BE A LOSER OVER THERE

to Jade's question, Terezi tilts her head considerately.]

No, in the real world I think this would probably end in a horrible, horrible death! The real Alternian world, I mean. They would be fighting over her and not lamely backing off like that guy wishing her good luck!

Hehehe, I think if the two guys went black for each other, that would be the greatest ending.

...I mean this movie is a masterpiece, why doesn't it always work this way??? Fuck that guy! [this is for Karkat's benefit. she reaches out to try to pull him over.]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[aww yeah

don't be too jelly, best friend, Gamzee will try to stretch out his ridiculously lanky arm to cuddle you too, he is just the world's coziest troll right now]

Aww, well, I ain't gonna argue against following what your vascular organ all up and tells you to do. Maybe she can get her motherfuckin' palerom up with him instead.

Haha, I ain't into blackrom, but I be liking that ending better too, blindtits - kinda real motherfuckin' sad that motherfucker ain't getting none of his quadrants filled. You think he's gonna all up and get culled by the drones? [because let's face it, it would make the movie a whole lot more interesting....]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Okay, fine, he'll let Terezi pull him into the cuddle pile just a little. But he's giving Gamzee's arm an angry look about now.]

Thank you, Jade. If you mean people being fucking stupid about their quadrants, then yeah, I guess.

Anyway, no, that would be stupid if they went black for each other. It's supposed to be a tragedy. And obviously he's getting culled. Just watch the fucking movie.

[Because they'll show the fiancee's brutal onscreen death in just a minute. Troll movies sure are weird!]
