[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.))

[she is carefully monitoring cool levels ok everything will

turn out

cool...]

It will get my male human lusus off your back. Actually, wait, he got replaced with this human that smells like hot dogs. [thinks it over] ...I won't use it as comic fodder if that's what you're worried about.

[no jk she totally will.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

How is it comic fodder at all?

[yes he knows]

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

It isn't! I said I wouldn't.

[yes it is and yes she will]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Ugh, whatever.

[Picking at some fries.]

So do you still want to do the human date thing, then?

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Duuuurrr. [she says that a little quickly.] It'll be fun! Right? You are an expert on that shit, I am sure you have studied every single possible route of comedic hijinks that could happen through your movies that all have the same dumb theme. It will be like in that movie where we go on a date except we go to a restaurant and steal the reservation for another couple but then they turn out to be notorious criminals and then we are pursued across the city and the whole time we are bemoaning the fact that we stole the reservation in the first place.

[PAUSE] Are human dates always that exciting?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Actually, they usually involve uncomfortable misunderstandings and physical comedy. Usually someone winds up going to the hospital with a food allergy or something catches on fire.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

And you're into that stuff? [she says it the same way someone might say 'you're into consensual physical relationships with chewed food?']

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

That's not what I actually want to happen! That's what happens in movies, but it's only to create an obstacle and show that they protagonists are capable of overcoming difficult situations and the appeal is in each other rather than because the date was perfect.

But I think we can consider apocalyptic destruction of our planet to have suitably covered the wacky hi-jinx standard set by my dumb movies.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

...Oh. [he's right.....] I guess we have overcome some pretty difficult stuff. [UNDERSTATEMENT...] So if there's no crazy adventures, what's left over? Constant makeouts?

[>;D she's kidding....... sort of......]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

Just the part where they've figured things out and just do things that are normal and be normal, I guess.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Normal's boring. [a pause.] I like boring sometimes.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I've missed it.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

[she starts eating again] Okay, so I won't drub Jade.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

She's a drone, anyway.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

Oh. [awkward...]
