♋ 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.]

horrifying........

That will just make him angrier. Ugh. Okay. Hang on, give me a few minutes.

[He'll get up to go find Crabdad!]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[oh gog she wishes she could see this

but as it is she just chills out where he's left her, waiting.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Karkat will be gone for a few minutes! You can hear him just over in the kitchen where Crabdad has been spying on them to ensure nothing inappropriate happens.

There will be lots of skreeing and hissing sounds, some cursing, and then some quiet noises that sound vaguely like a person is soothingly papping a hard shell while whispering some affectionate shooshes.

Shortly after, Karkat will lead Crabdad down to the basement.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[wow what is she listening to

sh...she's just going to assume Karkat did something incredibly manly and not anything overwhelmingly adorable at all.

yeah.

she keeps waiting for him.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[What do you mean, paps are super manly.

Another ten minutes down in the basement, and then he'll come back up.]

Okay, he's all set up in his nest, I think he'll sleep for a while.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

I won't ask what you did, but as long as it worked...!

[no she really doesn't want to know ok]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it worked. So...

[Getting so awkward...]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[fidgets] I'm just a few streets over.

[pauses. and then, in a teasing voice:] Aren't you going to go grab your movies?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. I can get one.

[Taking this too seriously and getting up to go grab a movie, although he'll just grab the first one he finds with no regards to what it is.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[grabs him by the arm before he can start off and laughs under her breath.] I'm kidding! Hehehe, don't spaz out your protein chute... Let's just go before I give you other false suggestions you're going to take too literally.

[grabs his hand and moves towards the direction of the door she's got memorized]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[f...following...holding her hand...so awkward right now...]

I'm not spazzing any chutes. Fine, we can just go.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[so cute

it is the blind leading the adorabloodthirsty here]

I wish I could smell whatever expression you are making right now! I bet it's really cute.

[swings his hand...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's not cute. I'm grimacing in a menacing and terrifying fashion.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

I have decided that it is completely adorable and you can't convince me otherwise.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

You can't even see, so stop assuming things that wouldn't happen.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

I don't need to see to know you, Karkat. You are definitely being pretty adorable.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Fuck you, I'm never adorable.

[blushing...]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Hold still.

[slowing her steps, she turns towards him and leans forward, reaching her hands out so that she can lightly touch her fingertips to either side of his face.]

Still as adorable as ever!

You're pretty warm, though.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It must be the sun.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

I can feel it, too...! It's kind of nice... But I think this is a little different.

[leans in a little........]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[L...looking around to see if anyone is looking at them. He knows she expects a kiss but there are people around and he doesn't like the idea of being watched.]

Isn't your hive just a couple blocks from here?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[o

............. ... . ...

]

Sure is!

[Terezi gives a giant huff, turns, and begins marching off again.

IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'S DISAPPOINTED OR ANYTHING...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[No he is not there is no coolkid in him, how cool do you even have to be to think in Comic Sans?

He follows her, feeling somewhat bad, but it's not his fault for having standards.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[very cool. you see Terezi is so much cooler than Karkat it is kind of sad.

every now and then she'll pause as if going over her mental map of the neighborhood, but even blind, Terezi's mind is sharp, and she's soon able to lead them to her hive.]

This is it!

Well, if its designated hive number says '305'. It does, doesn't it? [she seems a bit proud.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is the one.

[He's not really that impressed, though. Terezi's blindness being a problem isn't something he'd ever even considered before she came here. Without her ability to smell, he knew she was struggling, but it doesn't surprise him that she's learning to adjust.]

So...I guess we should go in.
