♋ 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.]

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]

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.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[of course, she wouldn't expect anything different- she has faith in Karkat trusting her intelligence.]

Mm, I guess we should!

[opens the door--




and they are immediately met by Terezi's drone mom.]



[the weird human lusus appears to take note of Karkat.]

[Terezi offers him an apologetic look, but she's grinning fiendishly. this is going to be kind of hilarious.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Oh god. He already has to put up with his own irritating human female lusus more than enough; he does not want to deal with this.

Rather than respond to her, he just tries to walk past her.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[there may not be any mud on Karkat's shoes, but whether there is or not, Terezi's human female lusus is giving him a disdainful look.]

Hehehe! Sorry!

[the woman frowns.

Terezi gives the human female lusus the blankest look ever.] I can't see anything! Boys or girls. What's a father? [wait] Oh, it's that male lusus that's living here, right?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Terezi, just ignore her. They aren't even real humans, you don't have to do what they say.

We can just lock her in the basement or something.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

But she makes me food! She's pretty harmless-



[Terezi falls into horrified silence. the basement sounds like a great idea right now.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Karkat, of course, isn't aware that she even cares about that. He wouldn't schedule sloppy makeouts with someone he didn't consider to be roughly equivalent to an earth human girlfriend. But he doesn't want the drone woman hanging around knocking on the door while they try to spend time together.]

They're like, game constructs, basically. Just let her out when it's time for her to make food.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[oh, good, he's ignoring it so she'll ignore it too. totally normal right. wait, is this some kind of silent confirmation or denial? should she be happy? she's really unsure.

oh, well. she doesn't mention it since he didn't either.]

Ahehehe... Okay, if you really think so. I think she's pretty big, though. You're gonna have to stuff her in the basement.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Just tell her you need her to do your laundry, she'll go down there herself and you can bolt the door.

[Geez, Terezi, get with the drone program. He's been dealing with his drone female lusus for months now.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[WELL OKAY... she faces the drone and speaks authoritatively.] My ugly human clothes are all very filthy and I require you to wash them!

[forgetting all of her concerns, the woman scurries off.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Pushing a dresser over the door as soon as she's gone.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Hehe. What if she starts screaming to come out of her prison?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

They don't they're game constructs, they don't really care.

Mine sometimes just goes into a loop going up and down the stairs.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Did you warn her about those stairs!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No, because I'm not the kind of asshole who thinks stairs are inherently funny.
