[Action; 1338 Benny Road]

[After his conversation/ambiguous break up with Terezi, Karkat heads back to his own hive. He slams the door to his respite block, locks it, and doesn't come out or let anyone in until his lusus comes up to check on him and makes him move the dresser away from his door.

After that, if you want to come in and find him, he's sitting on his bed eating ice cream and watching troll Hitch on his husktop with Crabdad.]

What do you do if you need to switch hives? Is there a form to fill out or something?

Ugh. Sorry.

I'm just going for the perfect score this week in a brand new game. The object is to destroy all of your relationships, and I think I'm ahead.

[echidna]

[ ok Jade act like this is totally new information... ]

What happened?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Nothing.

I non-ended my non-relationship. That's all.

[echidna]

[ She very nearly says "I know" but catches herself just in time. Whether Karkat likes or not she's reaching to hug him. ]

Is that really what you want?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

It's not like this is a fucking ideal situation, but neither was anything about us.

[echidna]

I don't know, Terezi likes you a lot.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I like how everyone today is the expert at understanding the relationships in my life.

[echidna]

[ hugs and sighs, Jade is supplying both in excess. ]

I'm not trying to sound like that, I just think maybe you are misjudging things.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

You don't even know what happened.

[Pausing, but he's pretty astute at this kind of thing.]

Actually, it sounds suspiciously like you do. I'm not asking, just do me a favor and spare me having to reexplain this if someone already told you.

[echidna]

[ nooooo she pinkie promised! but maybe as long as she doesn't mention Terezi she will be okay... ]

I, um, might have heard something about it from someone.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Great. Thanks for letting me sit here looking like an asshole.

[echidna]

Oh, stop. I want to help.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to help with, okay?

We're done, that's all.

[echidna]

There has to be something!

I don't want you to leave.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's not about you. I just don't want to deal with him right now.

oops hit enter early

[echidna]

But I- [ wow Karkat now you made her feel like a jerk. ] Never mind.

Re: oops hit enter early

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

...Yeah.

Look, it's not forever, okay? Probably, at least.
