♋ PCG 14

[Action; 1668 Benny Road]

[So, for the past few days, Karkat has been feeling vaguely off; just occasionally sneezing or rubbing his eyes. His troll self doesn't have allergies, so he doesn't really know what's going on, but as a human, he's definitely feeling it.

Finally, he wakes up one morning feeling sick enough that the female human drone doesn't drag him out of bed in the morning but instead calls school forces him to stay in bed. Anyone in the house can probably hear him swearing at her and occasionally trying to escape in the morning before he ultimately just gives up.]


[Phone; Later]

[Spending an entire day sitting around feeling miserable is really frustrating to him. So instead of being sick like a normal person, he spends the entire day drawing up a ridiculously complicated plan, and now he's calling about it. You can definitely hear from his voice that he's under the weather, though.]

Hey. So, considering the high frequency of situations involving dangerous undead hordes, inducements to kill each other, or just general examples of everything not bothering to stop for breaks on the road to catastrophe at all times, it's kind of surprising in a witness the clearest example of the failings of the human race sort of way that there isn't any system in place for what we're supposed to do. We have brand new clueless assholes showing up at least once a month and if they happen to get stuck in the wrong hive and don't know anyone who'll hold their hand through everything, we're saying they're shit out of luck. Oh, yeah, please call in and ask why I use hive instead of house and wonder if I'm a bee, that will be so helpful.

I don't particularly care about anyone clueless and new, but the odds are some of you do, right? And if not, just think that you might get panscrubbed (okay, droned, is that clear enough for you) and then you'll be the asshole with no idea what's going on.

Anyway, what I want is to hear from someone in every house in Mayfield. Let me know who in your sickening fake family unit can actually fight, who is a fucking psychopath we need to avoid at all costs, and whether or not you're willing to take in anyone extra next time everything goes to hell. I'll get the information out there when I have it so maybe it will be useful to someone unlike everything else anyone does around here.

If you call in with attempts to rile me up, observations that my alien culture isn't exactly the same as your own and that is somehow humorous, or anything that isn't on topic, I'm hanging up, so just answer the question.

Great, I'll put you down. Can I send work your way if someone needs it?

Terezi, I specifically said no off topic discussion would be permitted, but given your past history I'm not even surprised. No.

[But he's not hanging up...]

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's not.

[Sneezing a little.]

The fucking human lusus has gone off the deep end.

I will go and make my own super important phone call later and everyone will be allowed to go off-topic, because damn it, Rainbow Rumpus Partytown can take its party to the audio hook too! Then everyone will forget all about your phone call because mine will be cooler.

Anyway, there is this thing coming up soon at the schoolhive...

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll put you down and send anyone in your area that direction.

I don't know anyone by that name, but my lusus is fine. He was fighting off my drone lusus to rescue me, but now he's a traitor and co-guard to my imprisonment. Same as always.

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Off topic and pointless audio hook conversations are just the day to day business of the town. No one will even pay attention to your rainbow attention seeking douchebag gala.

[O...oh, he thinks he knows what she's bringing up, although he'll sound like an idiot if he's wrong. But his tone definitely changes a little.]

Oh, you mean the dance the drones keep mentioning?

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
They totally would, and- ugh! Let's stay on topic. Yeah, that's the douchebag gala I'm talking about!

...Not the audio hook shit, I mean the... dance. Thing.

[sh...she's gonna ask him! she will! she's going to ask him!

...

...

...

...it's sort of stupid how nervous she is about asking him when she knows she probably shouldn't be. since she knows they are officially a thing and all.]

Yamame can fight! Yamame can fight! I can probably beat you up, too!

Hehehehe!

[ Jade's all set to believe him, but then she actually gets a good look at him. ]

Maybe she's onto something, you don't look so good.

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, that thing. It's probably going to be an enormous waste of time, but watch everyone get worked up about it.

[He doesn't really mean that, it sounds really kind of nice to him...]

...Did you want to go?

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, it's not anything. I'm not really sick, I've been this way for a few days now.

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
What's your address?

[personal profile] echidna 2011-10-07 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
But that definitely sounds like you are sick! Do you have a cold?

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[the thing about the audio hook is that it makes it hard for her to gauge Karkat's reactions; while Terezi normally has an extraordinarily good read on people, that's also dependant on being able to smell/taste their text and emotions. right now, she feels a little lost: does Karkat really think it's stupid or not? she thinks probably not, but then again he does have this hatred for a lot of stupid human customs.

Terezi hesitates.]
I... guess it is a stupid waste of time, but everyone else seems to be going, and... If they're going, I won't have anything else to do.

[...

WELL

that came out all wrong. Terezi regrets it immediately.]

Um...728 Anderson!

Oh, wait! I remember your voice! You were...um...

Fuckass-san! Are you trying to be helpful?

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
If you don't want to go, then don't go.

[He's kind of disappointed if she doesn't want to, but he also didn't really think this would be her thing even if it's his.]

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
What is a cold? Some sort of bacterial infection?

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm trying to put you down on the psychopath list.

[identity profile] thug-disease.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yamame is not a saiikopath!

...What's a saiikopath?

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terezi yells into the phone.]

I want to go and I want you to take me and we are fucking going and I will not let you twist this conversation around and make it seem like it's all stupid because it IS stupid and I don't care! And I know you don't care either! It is going to be fucking stupid and we are going to be there!

[is it possible to sound affectionate while yelling because she does.]

Karkat, what do you have?

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Well, he's a little speechless at that.]

Well, okay, then. Yeah. We should go together.

[identity profile] made-this-town.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't send anybody my way unless you want them stabbed kid. Playing babysitter for your dumbshit little pals is bad enough.

...

Good!

[SATISFIED.

for now.]
