♋ 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.]

Hehe, really?! Where are you going to keep him? [looking with interest in the direction of the hissing noises, though she can't actually see him.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Here?

We got him set up down in the basement. He's kind of big to fit through doors, but he can do it.

[Crabdad seems to relax a little, although he'll get angry if she gets too near him.]

He's a crab, by the way.

And that's Terezi, she stays with us here sometimes.

[He gives Crabdad a look to try and warn him not to be embarrassing here.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[waves her hands cheerfully

it's ok Karkat, whatever crabdad does can't possibly be worse to embarrass you than what Terezi does]

Hi, Karkat's lusus! I'm Terezi and sometimes I make out with Karkat! Well, not sometimes. It doesn't really happen that much. But I thought you should know I'm not here to bring him to justice!

So it's definitely okay.

[yeah guess who has no idea what you should and shouldn't tell your lusus

this girl]

[S...so horrified right now...]

Terezi, why the fuck--

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Snapping his claws at Karkat.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Fuck you! It's none of your business! She has no filter, and she's a pathological liar, so just back off!

[shoving his claws away!]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Skreeeeeeeee

[Stomping and snapping his claws]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Okay, fine! It was only, like, twice! God, who cares? Can we talk about this later?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Hssssssssss

[Turning and sniffing at Terezi.]

done

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Ugh, don't do that!

[This is the most humiliating moment ever...]

I hate you so much, Pyrope.

[listening to all of this with an enormous shit-eating grin as per usual. she begins laughing really, really hard as the 'conversation' between Karkat and his lusus goes on.]

You got one thing wrong! I never lie. [giggles] Did I say something wrong?

[oh Karkat if only she could smell your humiliation...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Fuck you.

[Crabdad continues sniffing her, and then finally makes a grumbling sound and backs off, but not before snapping at Karkat for his language.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[Terezi doesn't seem bothered

crabdad totally has to approve of her she will not have it any other way]

I thought you would have said something already! If my lusus had been hatched earlier, I would've told her everything. [smiles]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Under his breath to her.]

He literally just fucking got here, I haven't exactly had time to explain shit. But thanks, this is exactly how I would have wanted this discussion to happen.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[not... under her breath at all...]

So... you've never mentioned me at all...?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Hey. Could you maybe, like, give us a moment?

[Crabdad hisses something at Karkat.]

Oh my god, no. We just need to talk, okay?

[He hisses again and scuttles out of the room.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[st a r e s . . .]

I don't feel like making out right now.

[which is clearly what Karkat is planning here

clearly]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Neither do I! Holy shit, you don't just say something like that to my lusus. What's your problem?

Guess what? I didn't even know you that well back when he was alive, so there was nothing to say. I mean, okay, he was around as a sprite after...things...but there wasn't a good time, and then he died again. He just got here today, so no, I hadn't mentioned you.

He gets really weird about this shit, okay?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[SIGH]

Karkat, it is hardly my fault that you have a weird crabby lusus just like you. When I finally got to talk to my lusus, she listened to everything I had to say!

Okay, mostly she said 'Hi Terezi' and 'heeheehee' and we sniffed each other a lot. But still! I can't be blamed for your lack of communication.

[what is the problem here

there are no problems here]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

He's not weird!

[Even though Karkat just called him that.]

It's just an awkward subject to bring up with him, and the way you had to put it didn't help anything.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Well, you told him I lied! [she frowns.] ...You didn't want him to know?

[bluh] Why wouldn't you?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's not like that.

You said 'we make out sometimes.' He doesn't need to think about that. I introduced you, didn't I? I would have explained better later, but no, I didn't want him to know 'we make out sometimes.'

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

It's important information. [she's being helpful!!!] I mean, what if he walked in on us like Gamz and Jade did?

[come on you know it's a strong possibility]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

...Oh god.

We can't do anything like that anymore.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[..........oh....] Guess not. [IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'D WANT TO OR ANYTHING...]
