[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.]

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.))

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.

[chastesaw]

If you reverted to being a troll once already, I certainly don't see why you wouldn't re-revert again, given enough time.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

But this isn't something the town did. I traded being a troll in for sopor.

[chastesaw]

You.

Traded in being a troll.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is what I just said.

It wasn't a conscious decision. They don't let you pick what you trade.

[chastesaw]

It just.

It seems very strange to have our very essence and being reduced to fuel for a barter-based economy.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Of course it's strange. I didn't expect this to happen again.

But honestly, I was a little worried they would try to take my lusus, which...I don't give a fuck, it just seems like, it's be even more inconvenient with all the questions people would ask. So this is okay.

[chastesaw]

And you don't think people would ask questions about your sudden reversion in form?

*She's onto you, Karkat. You'd miss Crabdad.*

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I'll tell them it just happened so get over it. Why should anyone care?

[chastesaw]

I suppose given the oddities we've experienced here a change in somebody's species seems relatively benign.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It's nothing to give a shit about at all.

[chastesaw]

How does it make you feel? Being human again.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

It doesn't feel that different. Is that weird? I miss my horns, and the pink skin is hideous, but besides that, I don't notice it much.
