♋ 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.]

[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.

[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.

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?

That's my fucking lusus, asshole!

[Talking to Crabdad, who is still trying to menace Slick.]

And that's...he's just someone I know, it doesn't matter.

I don't know what the giggly fuck a lusus is, but if that thing keeps giving me the stinkeye it's gonna get well acquainted with the sharp end of this knife. Don't tell me you're in the habit of keeping pets runt.

He's doing that because you're fucking pointing a knife at him.

[This is frustrating; more species that don't have lusii? It just seems so much more of a natural arrangement than the human system. Not to mention the whole thing is just embarrassing. Having his lusus defend him makes him feel like a grub.]

He's my custodian. I don't know, what kind of guardian do you have to raise your wigglers to maturity?
