♋ 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.]

[He's swiping at Crabdad with his sickle and mostly ignoring Gamzee.]

Asshole, don't you know what diurnal means?

[Crabdad skrees and clicks his claws angrily at Karkat.]

Fuck you! You can't even talk, why do you care?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Uhhhh...no, bro, what does it mean?

[holds out a hand to crabdad like a proper young gentletroll]

Heeeeeeeey, crabfucker, how you doing? [whoops well he tried okay manners are hard!!]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Get out of the way, dumb fuck!

[Getting in the way to prevent Gamzee from getting smacked by a claw.]

Holy shit, why do you have to be such a fucking pain? Yes, he always wears makeup like that, who cares?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[nooooooooo he just wanted to say hi...]

Uhh...what's wrong with my make-up? Shit, did it up and get smudged already?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

He's just being an asshole. He doesn't like having too many people around.

[smacking Crabdad with the butt of his sickle]

Seriously, can you fucking relax, please?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Awww, crabfucker, it's cool, you ain't got to be worrying none. Karkat's my best motherfuckin' friend, we chill. [beams!!]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Crabdad stops and squints at Gamzee before hissing and clicking his claws in his direction.]

If you want to be helpful, go see if we have any fish or anything in the icebox.

No, we don't have your fucking roe cubes, they don't make them here.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, best friend.

[wanders back in to look in the fridge

oh lucky, dronemom put a fish in a freezer!

gets distracted for a bit as he also grabs a soda and chugs it, then wanders back out]

Haha, shot a quick motherfuckin' message to the messiahs and they all up and landed this in the thermal hull. You want it?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Taking the fish and throwing it to Crabdad! He sniffs it disdainfully but eats it, grumbling.]

Okay, are you going to stop being such a pain in the crevice now? It's not 'past curfew.'

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, the fuck's a curfew? [oh you trolls and your responsible lusii]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It means I'm not usually allowed out after the sun is up, and he's not listening to me, because he's a fucking stubborn asshole.

[But Crabdad seems to be relaxing a little more.]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Aww, I motherfuckin' like him. Kinda all up and reminds me of you, best friend. Maybe he just needs a motherfuckin' pie to get his chill on. [waves at crabdad yes your son hangs out with a druggie all day what of it]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Don't even suggest that. Anyway, he's staying with us, so I hope you don't regret saying you like him. He gets in moods like this all the time.

[He's just standing around for now, but if Gamzee gets too close to Karkat he'll start hissing again.]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Naaaw, bro, I ain't the kind of motherfucker who takes back liking a motherfucker after I already done said I liked them. Besides, me and hivesis are used to dealing with that kinda shit by now. [did he just imply Karkat is moody...well, let's face it, even an idiot like Gamzee could have figured that out]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I know you're not.

[Karkat's not sure whether the implication was intentional, but he picks up on it, and he knows full well that if Gamzee gave a shit about that or really any negative traits people have, they wouldn't still be friends.]

But fine. He won't hurt you, but if he starts getting angry, just find me.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Sure, bro, but a little crankiness ain't gonna bother me none.

[pause, and then with a pathetic amount of hope in his voice]

Hey, you think my old goat done shown up around here too?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[O...oh, awkward. Karkat actually feels pretty bad for Gamzee on this subject, but he can't decide if he'll make things worse saying maybe or saying no.]

Mine showed up here in the hive, so I think you'd know right away if yours was here.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

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.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[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.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[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

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[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.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[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.
