Nah man, everyone moved out while you were gone. They went and had a big fuckin' group marriage in Vegas and bought a house in Utah.

[The elder Strider appeared out of apparently fucking nowhere, sunglasses somehow glinting in the dim light.]

Fuck you been, kid? Your friends kinda to go to shit without you.

[hate_actually]

Ha ha.

No kidding they do, like hell I need you to tell me that.

[scowls up at her, as if to say why are you even still here]

[ironicicon]

Probably not.

[She shrugs a shoulder and in the next moment is striding past him, hand ruffling his hair.]

Might wanna check up on the unstable ones first- and then maybe start stockpiling syrup. I hear boysenberry's pretty good.

[auughghtpthg]

[tries to swat her hand away, scowling]

Wait, what? What the fuck are you even talking about?

[ironicicon]

[He doesn't succeed, because her hand's already gone by the time his rises, just the afterimage there for him to swat fruitlessly at. She pauses in her movements to flash a look down at him from behind her shades, and then jerks her chin further into the house with another shrug.]

Clownkid in the basement. Gotta make sure you don't run out, right?

[hate_actually]

... [frowns at her.]

... Right. Uh. Thanks, I guess.

[EXTREMELY DUBIOUS...]

[ironicicon]

'Welcome.

[She smirks a little then, motioning off into the rest of the house.]

Run along now, little troll. Sure you got a lot of awkward bullshit teenage drama to deal with.

[hate_actually]

[of course that is the entire truth, but of course he takes offense] Fuck you. Who said you could stay here anyway?

[ironicicon]

Assumed I was invited along with the sunshine brigade when they came down from Seattle. Problem?

[This was all said from her sudden drape along his shoulders, fingers gesturing idly right beside his face.]

Don't worry though, won't be around for long. Now that these chips're done with, I'm headed back to Texas.

[hate_actually]

What the fuck is a texas.

[ironicicon]

[She pulled back, eyeing him as if he'd just started speaking Spanish (which she would have been able to deal with, had that been the case) and then shook her head and ruffled his hair again.]

S'where I'm from, Karkitten.

[hate_actually]

Karkitten??

God, how the fuck does everyone in this hive manage to be so collectively defective?

[ironicicon]

Yeah- sorry kid, the big one gets to be Karkat. You get to be Karkitten until troll puberty beats you with the awkward stick.

[A pause and then with a smirk-]

Sorry- awkward-er stick.

[hate_actually]

Wow, you're fucking hilarious, aren't you. I was here first, you know; he's the cheap fucking imitation.
