[Action, 1338 Benny Road; Thursday afternoon]

[Well, Karkat intended to go to the Post Office as soon as the zombie threat was finished. But early the next morning, he was forced to go to school instead, so it's not until afterward that he's able to make it.

Finally, he manages to make it back to his hive with an unwieldy recuperacoon, only to be greeted by Jade's drone, even though she was fine just earlier that day. Between being stuck as a human again and finding out about that, he's in a bad mood, so he'll just be sitting on the couch channel flipping next to the recuperacoon and judging everything on TV.]

[Phone]

Guess what? I'm human again. Karkat, really? You're human? Wow, I didn't recognize you at all! How'd that happen? When are you going back to normal? What do you look like now? Wait, we've never met, but you're were a species other than human in the first place?

There, that's all out of the way. We can now returned to your regularly scheduled not giving a shit about this. Anyone who does decide to bother me about this subject will be ignored in the iciest fashion possible.

In much more important but equally beyond our ability to do anything about news, Harley is apparently panscrubbed. No, I don't know why or how long she'll be gone for.

((OOC: Karkat is human again, and will be until I say otherwise even if I use his troll icons. He looks pretty much the same only not grey with horns and with browner hair and brown eyes. Not red like in the icons, yeah.))

Do you typically engage in complete conversations with yourself over the phoneline?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Well...

Not generally over a phoneline.

[nolongeralpha.livejournal.com]

Oh great, more trolls in disguise, just what we need.

Jade got droned?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Ignoring the first part of what you said,

Yes. Within the few hours or something.

[grimmdark]

So you can lose things that can be regained, that is something I hadn't been told of.

[You can ignore her like she ignored that comment.]

Let us hope Jade comes back, as contradictory as that would seem considering this place has lost a good deal of appeal since my arrival.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh, hi. This is a normal conversation, seeing as we're friends who talk.

[Gamzee comes out of the kitchen covered in flour when he hears the TV turn on; yeah, he's noticed that Jade's been droned too, and he is dealing with it the best way he knows how. He blinks at the human boy sitting on the couch, then around the room, then back again; the guy looks a lot like Karkat, but he's yet to see his friend in anything other than a troll body, and no one's told him yet about the post office or that they could turn human again in this town. So obviously this can't be him Gamzee's logic is the best logic okay]

Uhhh...you looking for someone, or just getting your chill on in this hive? It's cool if you are, I can be making a few more pies.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Just glaring at the TV. What stupid shit is Gamzee talking about, he's not going to dignify it with a response.]

[ironicjournal.livejournal.com]

Shit son, you just went and answered all my questions before I could think to think 'em up. Can't even imagine how full of useful tidbits and direction your little notebook must be over there.

Know what, fuck all this free will noise, I'm turnin' into a mindless sheep right now. What's my next move, oh wise and ornery one.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Well, if I have to predict?

I'm sure you're continue to irritate me. I see a lot of that in your future.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Traitor!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Why the fuck, and do I even want to know?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Blimey, must be pretty desperate if you're willing to turn yourself human again.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you're talking about. This is something that happened spontaneously through no choice of my own.

[ phone]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'd find it to be hard pressed to not find other species around here, no matter how different people are.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

That's how you'd think everyone would feel at this point.

[spiraldoll.livejournal.com]

[[she's gonna bring it up anyway, regardless of being ignored! that's nia for you...]]

You're human... again? Do you no longer have your horns, then? [[!!!]] So, then... That means you can change bodies, here?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No, I don't.

[He actually likes her, though, so he'll answer.]

Everyone is human when they get here. People don't usually just change back, though.

action after phone call!!

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[she shows up at the hive without notice shortly after the call and lets herself in.

she hasn't seen- well, smelled- him human yet, so she's pretty interested in that, but mostly she just wants to see him.

when she finds him, she'll speak, teasing gently.] You said no interspecies makeouts. Does that still apply?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

That never applied in these situations.

[He's still sitting around being grumpy.]

Sorry, nothing is a good color for you anyway.

[chastesaw]

Well, at least we're the same species again for the time being.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

There's that, yes. Probably indefinitely for me, I don't know how this works.

[a1a100.livejournal.com]

Wait, you turned back human? That'th pothible?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No, it's not possible. It happened to me, but it's not a thing that can be done. I've just broken the laws of reality as we knew them.

[misterwwizard.livejournal.com]

What? Why the fuck would you wantin' to be human again I was gettin' fuckin' sick of it!

[Though his tone immediately changes when he hears about Jade's panscrubbing]

W..what?

Jade got panscrubbed?

[His voice sounds... oddly concerned.]

Why did that have to be happenin' now a' all times...I hope she'll be comin' back...

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Why do you care?

Tell me you're not trying awkwardly to force a blackrom with her or something.
