Waking up in the strange room wasn’t the thing that set Karkat Vantas into a panic. Granted, waking up on some cushioned rectangle instead of in the peaceful sopor slime within his recuperacoon was strange, but it wasn’t the first time he woke up in some strange place. Nor was it the strange scent in the room, or the faint mugginess he felt that

Now usually the monkey tailed thief, while a tease, was quite kind and immediately helpful to any and all new arrivals (which this foul mouthed hot head seemed to be), however it was a little known fact that for approximately the first minute and a half he was awake Zidane was grumpy as hell.
Which is why Karkat would probably find a pillow being whipped at him, flung high speed from one monkey still beneath the bed.

Ksrkat's yelling is momentarily cut off at the pillow whacks the back of his head with enough force to send him stumbling. He shakes his head for a moment before turning back and leering at the person responsible.
Oh, so there was someone else in the room all this time, and he didn't even notice? Damn, that was just one more thing to add to the list of 'Things That Make Karkat Vantas Pissed Off Today.'
"What the taint-chafing fuck was that for?1" he demanded, leering at the person before him. It was just another weird, squishy human.... with a tail okay what? Oh great, it was a mutant freak, just like him. That just made his blood boil even more.
"Is this some kind of joke, locking me in a respiteblock with a mutant human?? Cause I'm not laughing here!"

He gave the intruder a quick glance over and shrugged, he'd seen MUCH stranger looking folk before, though he hadn't a clue what exactly the other teen was. Though the races of his own homeworld were diverse enough that he didn't know them all even there.
"Don't know what a mutant is, but, nah, it's no joke. Take it you're new here then?" he figured that was the case. Why else would someone be THIS ragey? Though he had a suspicious feeling that this was somewhat of a norm for this guy.

"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I missed the welcoming party that must have been thrown when they were handing out buckets to people. I was far too distracted to go up and take my turn with making the introductions, what with being knocked out and brought here against my will." He wasn't entirely sure he had been knocked out, but since he didn't remember what happened between falling asleep and waking up here, it was the only conclusion he could draw ( ... )

"Aww... don't worry! You didn't miss anything! I'll be your welcoming party! How about a nice to meet you hug?" he snickered and spread his arms out... and after a moment, coiled his tail around the handle of the bucket beside his bed (he'd used it to carry a few things to his room the prior night and just kinda left it there) "I'm such a nice guy I'll even let you have my bucket since you seem to want one soooo bad."
Not knowing the object was probably undesirable he actually intended to just play a little game of, 'pull the thing away as soon as it's reached for'.

"Get that fucking thing away from me, you nooksucking shitstain!!" he yelled, his voice raising a few octaves in desperation. "Do you even know what you're holding, you ignorant douche?!"

"What's wrong? It's just a harmless lil bucket!" he laughed, swinging the seemingly innocent household object closer and closer to the other teen... just to see what other great reactions he'd get of course!

Zidane paused. Okay yeah, wow. That was a little more extreme a reaction then he'd been expecting.
"Seriously, what's the issue? It's just a bucket. Nothing dangerous in it," hands on his hips, he held it upside down and shook it, nothing came out, "I mean if you walloped someone over the head with it then yeah, it'd probably hurt. But I ain't planning on doing that."

"It's indecent, that's what's the issue!" Karkat snapped, averting his gaze as the bucket was held up and shaken upside down. "Seriously, don't you know anything?? How else do you think they collect your genetic material?!"

"Wait wait wait... I think one of us here has some serious misconceptions about what a bucket is used for," he waved his arms and finally set the apparently offensive object down. And there was something suspicious about what he said too. Genetic material...? He couldn't possibly mean? Nah. Not like Zidane was familiar with the word, oh he'd heard his overly scientific sister mention the term in reference to the process of creating a new Genome... but he kinda didn't pay much attention to that. Too many complicated words. But still. There was NO way a bucket was involved with that, "And possibly some misconceptions about how the birds and bees work too,"

"No, you know what? Fuck you for being so ignorant. Use your goddamn think pan to figure it out because I don't see why I need to explain this for a third fucking time to someone." he said. "And I don't see how featherbeasts and yellow-and-black buzz-grubs have anything to do with this situation, unless it's some other convoluted human metaphor that of course makes no goddamn sense."
