[Accidental Phone Call | Action for 1338 Benny Road]

[When Karkat wakes up at 1338 Benny Road, his first thought is what a nice, relaxing sleep he just had. His second thought is remembering that he forbade everyone from sleeping, and nobody better be a wiseass about this.

His third thought involves him catching his reflection in the mirror in his room. Seconds later, the house will shake from the sound of him slamming open his door and shouting at no one in particular, and just happening to knock the phone off the hook mid-rant.]

--better be one fucking good explanation for this shitpile of a situation, and that explanation better be 'Karkat, you're definitely not a giant pink nubless fleshpile now, sorry for the trouble,' got it? Okay, point me in the direction of those humans in the pictures or whoever else is responsible. They better open wide, because I've got pailfuls of pure, festering hate to...great, and now this fucking thing came off the--

[There's a crashing sound and the click of a phone hanging up.]

[Later; Phone Call]

[A little bit later and a lot calmer, Karkat will make a phone call. His voice sounds measured, as though it's barely suppressing another burst of anger.]

...So. Nice human town you have here.

How do I leave?

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

There are.

Like trolls, right?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Right.

You're not a troll, are you? Because I was pretty sure most of us were dead.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

No, but I've met some trolls here.

Dead...?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

End of the world, two or three crazy psychopaths rampaging at the same time, that kind of thing.

Who've you met? Chances are, they're a complete fucking idiot.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

["End of the world" doesn't sound so good...]

Tavros...and Aradia, but she's gone now.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Tavros is here?

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Yes. So you're his friend?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know Tavros. I'm the fearless leader of our merry little band of idiots, for all that tremendous honor is worth.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

You're the leader? What are you leading them for?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me it's not obvious those morons need to be led everywhere like the little lost hoofbeasts they are.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Aradia seemed like she was clever. Tavros...well, he's not stupid, but he seems scared all the time.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, Aradia is sharp as a tack all right. I'm sure she can do her own thing without being distracted by her need to gloom at everything.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Gloomy? But she wasn't gloomy at all when I met her.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

You're kidding, right? She hasn't done anything but mope around since...a while back.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

...did something happen to her?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Too many things have been happening. She got tired of being gloomy and exploded or something. Who knows.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

...exploded?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but nobody seemed too broken up about it so I wouldn't worry.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

Well, I don't know if there are any other trolls here...

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

So just me and the toreadoormat, great.

Well...at least you tried to give it a shot.
