KARKAT ======> feel extremely sorry for yourself [008]

Jan 17, 2011 16:52

[While his last sleep had been blessedly dreamless, this one had not been. The early mornings of Demeleier were still dark and quiet, and Karkat sullenly glowered at the dim, snow-covered surroundings from his perch on top of his respiteblock ( Read more... )

[After awakening from the strange marathon of dreams, Yenyoji immediately knew she needed to see a certain someone, and wasted little time putting off the visit. The process of getting dressed had been rushed, to the point where she's still buttoning her coat as she approaches his little house/respiteblock. Yen didn't even bother to bring her Ice Staff along.]

[It wasn't long before Karkat saw her bolting across the snow to his house. He bit his lip hard and, the moment he did so, the dream sprang back to the forefront of his mind.

She was going to sympathize with him. She was going to meddle and try to cheer him up and be everything he kind of wanted at the time, but knew he wouldn't be able to handle. He wouldn't be able to do it.]

L-look -

[Shit. He was stuttering. Who the fuck was he, Tavros? He swallowed, wiped his streaming nose on his sleeve, and started again.]

I know why you're here, and you can fuck right off. I don't fucking care about that any more!

[She looks tired and sad, and she sounds it, too, as she glances up and replies to him.]

What if I'm here because I want you to comfort me? Or if I wanted to talk about nightmare realms or dead little kids or... something else?

[He knows that's just said so she can help him out, and the rush of affection he feels for her understanding that makes him sick to his nook. Fuck, last time he'd felt that, he'd spoke to Kanaya, and just... he didn't want to think about that.

Forcing it from his mind, he sighed.]

You must have no fucking friends at all if you're coming to me for that...

[It actually is true how few solid friends she has here, despite being on pretty good terms with a lot of people. But it's largely by her own choice and preference than anything else, so she simply shrugs.] Or I like you better.

Besides, I'm sure everyone's thinking, "if that whole thing was real, no wonder she's so mental." At least I can expect you to be honest if you think that way.

[He sniffs in response, looking away for a moment.]

Was all that real?

Yes, it was. Every single bit, plucked right out of my head. [She kicks at the snow in a brief spurt of frustration.] We couldn't even fix it properly, in the end.

Jegus.

[He looks down at her for a moment, replaying that dream over in his mind. It was hard to remember it all - so much stuff just happened, and he didn't understand most of it. Or, well, any of it.]

This is a good seat.

[Hint. Hint.]

I'll have to give it a try. [She scrambles up next to him and settles in, her tail curling along one of her thighs for warmth.]

Hey, you're right.

See? I'm a fucking bastion of awesome advice.

[He rests his elbow on his knees and his chin on his hand and heaves a sigh.]

The 'Land of Faeries and Douchebags' is basically just redundant, huh?

I don't know what a "douchebag" is, but given your usual verbal repertoire, I think I can safely agree. [She lightly clicks the metal toes of her boots together.]

They're monsters.

What, the giant hoofbeast asshole that looked like my lusus wasn't clue enough?

[He curls his arms around his knees and rests his head against them.]

What was even the fucking point?

[She shakes her head, adjusting the crown and hat immediately after so they don't fall off.] I don't know.

Maybe this is a cage, and it's all a big game for them. Agitate the little people, see what they do...

What a dumbass way to do it. Not everyone's going to care.

[And how he wishes he was one of those people right now.]

Well, I don't want to see them giving their best. These dreams might not be harmful, but I don't like having my problems put out in the open for everyone to think about when they look at me.

[The whole thing kind of creeps her out and makes the fur on her neck rise. Though it's hard to tell under all her layers, other than the way she scratches her neck.]

[Karkat scowls.]

Well, everyone knows I'm a frondfondling glubfucker anyway.

[He wipes his nose on his sleeve again.]

B-big fucking surprise right? [He blinks to get the tears out of his eyes, and then, as if to hope this will explain the stutter, snot and tears:] It's really fucking cold.
