♋ 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.]

Comments

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No, they aren't.

[That's besides the point, Karkat...]

You just need to watch them. They're really interesting.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

... [AUGH] I wasn't actually talking about your dumb movies!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

...I know. I just meant that they're good, but I know what you were talking about, okay?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...okay.

[now she is the one feeling a little flustered]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's still flustered and doesn't know what to say after that. He manages to stop himself from making more comments in defense of his movies, though.]

...Anyway, you should still stay over here and all that if you want to. Just when it is much too fucking crowded here, because we are full to the brim with trolls and humans and an enormous crab monster, we've got that.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

...Hehehe.

[is she blushing??? well a little. she doesn't realize she is.] It would be only right of us to direct our overflow elsewhere! [that was a terrible metaphor...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she is. That's really cute. He's kind of looking at this and enjoying it safely, knowing that she can't see his expression.]

That's what I mean. Give the run of this place to the asshole it's already crawling with and take off.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[o-oh Karkat that is actually really adorable]

We could take off right now. [a somewhat embarrassed pause as she realizes how warm her cheeks are. she presses a hand to the side of her face.] If you wanted to.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Um...

I would, but he's still settling in and I'm worried he'll throw another fit. Once I get him to sleep, though...

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[






that crab is now her enemy and said enemy needs to be unconscious right now]

And out of curiosity... how exactly could you get him to sleep?

that icon is like a horror movie...

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

He's usually out after he eats, but it's hard to say here. I couldn't find what he likes to eat, and his schedule's off.

what do you have against shirts with pugs on them...

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[damnit

ok she is strongly considering slipping some good ol' sleeping pills in there but doubts there are any in Karkat's house]

...Well. What if you fight him! Fight him until he's exhausted.

[BE A MAN KARKAT]

horrifying........

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

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.
