♋ 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.]

Maybe he's late? Haha, or maybe he's already up and gotten himself to the lake, I better go check and let him know I'm here. [never give up hope never]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

He's not here today. Don't fucking go down there, it's a waste of time.

[oh my god Karkat why do you have to be such a buzzkill???]

Aww, you think so? [looks kind of disappointed for a second, then cheers back up] Well, I just gotta be keeping the faith, the messiahs will up on send him back one of these days if I be asking him too.

[Because it's better to hear it now than waiting all day by the lake until Karkat drags you home.]

Yeah, it could happen. Most of us don't have our lusus here, but it looks like it's possible.

*them to wow brain why do you fail

[implying he won't do this every day anyway...]

Yeah, this town's got so many motherfuckin' miracles, I know it'll up and happen sooner or later. Nepeta and Equius all on got theirs back too, it touches me all up in my vascular pump to be seeing that.

[Noooo too depressing...it honestly does bother Karkat a lot that he does that.]

It's not a miracle, it's just something the town sometimes does.

Yours is a big fucking sea goat, right? I'll tell you if he shows up, because I know where they get here now.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Through miracles.

Aww, you'd all up and do that for me, best friend? Thanks, bro.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's not a big deal. Just don't...sit around the lake, it's a waste of time.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Naaaw, bro, I gotta be doing that just in case. You know how it is with family.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It bothers me.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Uhh...why's that, best friend?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Because it's just irritating. Do I have to give a reason to be annoyed by something you do? We'd be here all day.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Haha well, I won't tell you when I'm down there if it bugs you that much, it's cool. We all got shit what rubs us the wrong motherfuckin' way.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

That's the opposite of helpful. I can't have people wandering off all the time without letting me know what sort of shit they're getting up to.

[Well, he's not going to forbid him from doing that because that's just stupid, so he's just going to look angry about it.]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

So...you do want me to tell you then? [BEST FRIEND YOU ARE SO CONFUSING GOSH]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fine. If you have to go do something that's stupid and a waste of your time, then bother me before you do it.

[Crabdad is starting to get a little grouchy again, so Karkat pats him on the claw.]

Okay, he's choosing to continue to be an asshole, so I'm going inside.
