♋ 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.]

[P...pulling away oh god

At least he's just a drone.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[she almost falls off the bed.........

meanwhile the drone father is looking rather incensed!]

[Terezi recognizes the voice and sighs.] I still don't know what a daughter is and why I am one.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Terezi, tell him he needs to do your laundry.

[Still hasn't figured out the drone gender politics here.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[o-oh...

the drone reacts with typical increased annoyance! also now he is hovering intimidatingly in the wholesome way only a good 50s father could do.]



[Terezi bursts out laughing.] Rascal, ahahaha!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Fuck off!

Terezi, you're not fucking helping.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[yeah drone dad is trying to grab Karkat by the shirt or collar or whatever happens in those delightful retro films where the dad gets angry at the streetwise punk smooching on his innocent young daughter]

I'm sorry! [still laughing] What do you want me to do? [she tries tugging at drone dad's arm...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Yes getting pulled off the bed by the shirt collar this is a difficult angle to strife from but he's attempting it.]

The fucking laundry!

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

You want me to do the laundry? [just sitting there in confusion since she can't actually see the awfulness of the situation...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Tell the drone lusus to--fuck! Ow!

[This streetwise punk just got socked one good!]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Karkat?

[uh oh okay

she grabs for the rather shitty uncool non-sword cane she's managed to get a hold of here in Mayfield and swings it as hard as she can at what she assumes is lusus-dad

..............................it's up to you whether she missed or not]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[She can probably tell

From the familiar sound a crabby troll makes when he is walloped over the head with a cane

that she missed.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[yelps]

Karkat I swear to gog that drubbing really wasn't meant for you this time!

Okay, I've got this!

[n...not that it helps...

aaaaand she makes another swing.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[walloped...at the same time as he is being manhandled out of the room...]

Fuck! Just stob! Thanks, now my fucking nobe is bleedig!

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[tosses her cane to the ground and looks sort of dismayed]

W-well... What can I say to get the human lusus to calm down?!

[she stumbles after them as best as she can.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I only have a female one.

[Not strifing, just being dragged off and holding on to his face.]

Just get be a fucking nasal tissue.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[in the confusion, she doesn't think she has time to get to the bathroom and instead darts into her room and returns with a shirt.] Here.

[come on, Terezi. think. you're a smart girl, you know what to do.



suddenly she recalls one of the human TV shows. she launches herself forward with as much drama and emotion as she can muster.]

...

Father, wait!

[dad-lusus turns, still clutching at Karkat, except Terezi kind of forgets what she's supposed to say next.]

You don't... understand?

Billy and I need to be together?

[...i...it's not very convincing...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Putting the t-shirt over his nose; he's not really happy about this because he doesn't want to get blood all over any of her things, that is just disgusting.

But then she starts her plan, and yes, that makes sense.]

That's right. My name is Billy, apparently. And your daughter has accepted my human sportsman jacket, so nothing can keep us apart.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[do you realize how overjoyed she will be to have a shirt covered in Karkat's blood

she will never wash it as soon as she gets her smelling ability back she is probably going to sleep with the nasty thing]

Sportsman jacket-? [looks blankly in Karkat's direction before she catches on.] Oh! Yes! I'm very much all caught up in Kar-- Billy's sportsman jacket! I captchalogued it and everything!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[No, she won't, because he is going to destroy it before that can ever happen.]

Exactly. Now we are steady, so you can stop your lusus hostilities.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[ why so mean]

[the man shakes Karkat for good measure.]

Uh... Yes? [turns to Karkat] Are you talking about Earth steady? [no Terezi now is not the time...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's a thing from TV, just go with it.

You and Billy are now so very earth human steady.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

I know what Earth steady is! I meant, uh... bluh. [oh, right. she pulls on the man's arm.] Hey, let him go.



Thanks, I guess! But I have already accidentally drawn blood so I think you could leave now.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Yes, focusing on preventing any more of that blood from getting anywhere. Bluh, even if he is a drone and she's blind it still makes him really uncomfortable so he completely fails to consider whatever implications the going steady statement might have had. He just wants to get this done with.]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[after a bit more reasoning and convincing, the drone finally stalks off, and Terezi turns towards Karkat.]

Jegus, are you okay? I didn't mean to hit you this time, really.
