Chapter 10; Action/Voice for Karkat, John and Jade

[What happened]

[[She certainly didn't mind his company, as much as she bickered with him when he insisted upon taking care of her, and insisted upon making sure she was comfortable, and insisted upon getting her more blankets, knowing she would want them. As much as she argued she didn't need the help, she did appreciate it.

And so, even though the subject struck up yet more sibling snark-ery, she appreciated him offering to make her soup.

Still had a hard time expressing it though.]]

Dave, I do not care how delicious you claim it tastes. I do not care how insistent you are upon the fact it is good for me. I do not want soup.

[[He just laughed at her, and that simply annoyed her more.]]

Relax Rosie. You're not getting any better by throwing a fit.

[[Looking away with a snort, the girl glowered at the window. When a spoon clattered from being dropped, she thought nothing of it.]]

Would you please refrain from making a mess, I would really hate to--

[[Cut off by the sound of something far bigger slamming into the stove finally forced her to turn her glare towards the kitchen.

Which Dave was currently occupying the floor of.]]

...D-Dave?

[[Unfurling and scrambling from her nest, she quickly crossed the hotel room and stared down at the boy a moment, before bending down to carefully touch his forehead - which judging from how red the skin was and how it was already starting to bruise, that must have been what she heard colliding with the stove.

Carefully she shook him by his shoulders.]]

If you are trying to tease me to force some form of sincere affection from me, th-there are better ways to go about that. This is unacceptable, and I will not stand for it, so I request you sit up and cease this tom-foolery.

...Please?

[Voice for Karkat]

[[When Karkat answers, he is greeted by Rose, who definitely does not sound as put-together as usual. She's not in a panic, but her voice is shaking a little.]]

K-karkat. I require your presence immediately. Dave just collapsed, and I am unsure of what to do about i-it. I am unable to move him on my own, and am fairly certain we should not leave him on my kitchen floor.

[Text for John and Jade]

[[A text is also sent to John and Jade, as Rose is aware they would both want to know.]]

John, Jade, I would like to inform you that Dave, currently, is passed out on my kitchen floor.
I am having Karkat come over to help, and fear having more than him and I might make this complicated as it is a fairly small kitchen and room, so please do not worry about assisting.
I simply felt you would both like to know.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Probably a good idea there. Knowing him, he'd try to be your kismesis if you punched him.

Ugh. Though with the 'woman' comments he keeps making, I am closely approaching that level of hate.

[Up go the eyebrows. He forgets to keep his voice down, even.]

What, seriously?

Oh yes.

[[She is managing to keep her voice down through the fact she is practically hissing her words.]]

It would have been so much easier on him if he had left it at the simple request of teaching him to knit a new scarf. But no.

Instead, he felt the need to discard my correction that I knit not sew, and then he had the sheer audacity to order me around because of my gender as if I were a wench at his disposal.

[[Glaring. Glaring at her coffee. Her coffee will absorb all of this anger for her.]]

[Karkat looks a bit taken aback by all this. Ordering her around like that would be annoying, but her getting that worked up over scarf-creation terminology? Add in the glare, and it's a bit impressive.]

[This time, at least, he manages to be quieter.]

Well, it's not like you'd have competition if he's given up on a kismesissitude with Sollux.

I mean no offense by this, I really don't, however I would not afford him such luxury as to be my kismesis.

I am doubtful he would have the ability to return it, with how quickly he came crying back to me once I had hung up on him.

Why would I be offended?

[He gives a bit of a snort.]

I really can't say I'm surprised there. He's pretty fucking pathetic. He used to hate Sollux, but somehow he's looped around to wanting to be moirails with him now. Makes no fucking sense.

He's irritating, sure, but he's pretty fucking low on the scale.

I just know you take your quadrants seriously, and I am still feeling my way around them. Refusing a kismesissitude with one of your...well. Comrades. On such a reason as that simply sounds like it might be cause or part of a touchy subject.

And yes, so I have noticed. He is completely unable to care for himself. You must have had to baby him your entire session.

Did you know when I informed him he would need a week's worth of food, at least, he simply pointed to the cheese puffs and soda that he spent almost all of his money on? As if that would suffice?

Pfft. I'm not going to force you into any quadrant with anyone, much less him. He's a fucking moron, anyway.

You know what he did in Sgrub? He spent it killing angels in his Land, even though they were supposed to be helpful game constructs. So essentially he turned the whole place into something you couldn't even enter without getting attacked, and then came whining when no one wanted to visit him there.

...

[[Okay, that has her a little floored.]]

I. Am not even quite sure what to think of that.

Yeah, he's a fucking dumbass. To think he had the nerve to complain about how long it took to kill them, too.

[[...Okay. Doing her best to stifle giggles.]]

That. That is by far the most amusing thing I have heard. In such a sick sense of the word.

It is so...so...moronic, it's funny.

You're only amused because you weren't his leader, so don't you fucking laugh.

I apologize.

[[And she does her best to stop, hiding them behind her coffee.]]

I am sorry you were left to deal with him for that, Karkat. I really am.

I still did it, didn't I? With all of those asshats. No one else among them would be fucking competent enough to do it.

[A long sip of his coffee.]

You did, and of that I am impressed.

[Looking away now.]

Y-yeah, well. I was fucking hatched for the role.

And it shows.

[[Sipping at her coffee. And maybe giving his hand another squeeze if he hadn't withdrawn it already.]]

[He hasn't, so he feels that squeeze, glancing back as he does.]

... You honestly think so?

Yes, I do.

[[Sighing, though a little more content this time.]]

Beyond the fact you managed to lead Eridan and Gamzee along with the other nine trolls of your session, you simply...carry yourself in a very powerful and commanding manner. You have a certain air about you that, while yes it may invite teasing and trolling, it also gives off a feeling that you actually know what you are doing. Or are trying to accomplish.

In my opinion anyway.

I am sure there would be plenty of other instances I could give you as examples if I knew more. I don't, however, and will not push the subject. I know it is not the most pleasant, and I am one of the causes of that being the case....

[Oh man, praise. Karkat listens, because really - no matter how many times people do affirm that he's not a bad leader, despite his own assertions about deserving the role, he can really be insecure about it inside. So it never ceases to surprise him when someone thinks he does well.]

... Thanks. Means a lot to me.

No thanks are necessary for someone who speaks the truth. Everyone should do so, without the need of receiving gratitude. It is simply the right thing to do.

[[Yup. Squeezing your hand again, thought not loosening up. It's a good reassuring one this time.]]

You are welcome none-the-less however.

Well, still.

[He'll take the handsqueeze, too.]

Hence why I welcomed you anyway.

[[She finally reaches the bottom of her cup, and sets it down with a pout at it, before leaning back against the counter once more.]]

You don't receive praise often, do you?

... Not really.

[A bit of a sigh there.]

Had to deal with trolls questioning my decisions and abilities the whole damn session long. Myself among them. Jegus, I can't fucking get over how much that pissed me off - transtime arguments with yourself as the must aggravating thing ever next to Dave.
