♋ PCG 10; backdated to Thursday

[crusthatecean]

[Action; Outside 1338 Benny Road!]

[Early Thursday morning, there's a strange sight out on Benny Road. A terrifying crab monster appears to be menacing a young troll lad! Karkat is trying to fend off the crab monster with a garden tool and appears to mostly be managing it, but the monster won't stop trying to grab him with its claws.]

[Action; 1338 Benny Road; Later]

[Later that day, in a house that smells horribly of fish but is much cleaner than usual, Karkat is sitting on the couch watching TV. The crab monster is lurking behind the house, occasionally growling until Karkat feeds him some fish from a can.]

morning!

[Gamzee's weird-ass sleeping hours means that he's actually up in time to see this, blinking blearily at the sight.]

...whooooa, best friend, your motherfuckin' lusus came back! [good job Gamzee, Karkat would have never noticed if you hadn't pointed this out]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[He's swiping at Crabdad with his sickle and mostly ignoring Gamzee.]

Asshole, don't you know what diurnal means?

[Crabdad skrees and clicks his claws angrily at Karkat.]

Fuck you! You can't even talk, why do you care?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Uhhhh...no, bro, what does it mean?

[holds out a hand to crabdad like a proper young gentletroll]

Heeeeeeeey, crabfucker, how you doing? [whoops well he tried okay manners are hard!!]

Morning

[lamingtons]

[So, Australia just got undroned this morning and is pretty annoyed about being droned in the first place but that doesn't matter anymore because now he is the happiest fucker alive. It's a giant crab!]

[Oh, but wait...]

... No way I'm gonna find a pot big enough for that.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Pausing in hitting the crab over the head with the butt of his sickle to glare at Australia. The crab takes the opportunity to pinch Karkat by the back of his shirt.]

...What the fuck is your problem?

[lamingtons]

He looks delicious!

morning!!

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

[Awkwardly waves from the sidewalk wow this is sure to get his attention!]

Oh, uh, hey Karkat, and Karkat's lusus.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, not noticing this. Sorry bro. But then Crabdad snaps something at Karkat and he glances over.]

Oh. Hi.

Have you regained your freakish ability to make stubborn shithead animals listen to you? Because this asshole will not fucking calm down.

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

No, uh, sorry, I can't commune yet, and trying, really hard, only just gives me, um, a headache.

He seems happy, uh, to see you though.

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

...more monsters?

[she's also intrigued by the gray-skinned weirdo fighting it]

Do you need help?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

What?

No, I'm fine.

[Shoving the crab away.]

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

So that's not some kind of horrible beast trying to kill you?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[about to walk right into crabdad sup]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Well, she can manage it, Crabdad hisses and snaps his claws at her for her to stay away.]

Don't be an asshole, do you really have to do that?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[gets her shirt caught in a claw but she... doesn't seem to notice the hissing...] ...I haven't even said anything yet and you're already calling me an asshole! Good morning.

morning

[OH LORD here we go again. Seems like three seconds can't go by without Slick having to save this idiot from some monster or other. After judging the scene for a few minutes, he reluctantly withdraws his knife and advances on the monster.]

Alright outta the way runt, I'll take care of this. Been too long since I showed anyone my stabs anyway.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Crabdad sees the strange human with the knife and hisses, pushing Karkat behind him and advancing on Slick with his claws snapping.]

Fuck, stop it! Both of you!

If you stab him, I swear I will kill you right now.

[made-this-town.livejournal.com]

There are so many things wrong with what you just said I should stab you both just to make up for it. You pick up a crab fetish while I was gone, kid?

action morning

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[oh wow, exciting and possible dangerous shit! This is awesome.

Energetically approaching.]

What's this now?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Hitting the crab over the head with the back end of his sickle! It's roaring and nearly grabs Karkat in one of its pincers!]

You're the one being ridiculous!

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[Pulling out the sonic just in case!]

Need some help there? Unless you've actually got everything under control and only look like you are completely out of luck and backed into a corner.

Happens to me quite often.

action morning

[stealsluck.livejournal.com]

Someone has a lusus! Wow, Karkat look at all the stuff you have. You better not be hogging it from the rest of us.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I'm busy! Too busy to give a shit about anything you're saying.

[Crabdad takes a break from trying to grab Karkat to hiss at Vriska.]

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

(The Sniper plays the role of the Concerned Neighbor, ready on standby with his bow in hand, but he's yet to draw an arrow. The kid looks like he's handling himself so far, but if it looks like the monster's going to go on a rampage he's plugging that thing with arrows.)

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[It isn't; it's solely focusing on Karkat, but if he catches him, all he'll do is try to make him go back inside the house.]
