FILTERED FROM KARKAT

[When the feed comes on there's the sound of something in the background, probably a TV or something, who knows. It takes a moment or two for Eridan to start talking, obviously distracted by whatever is making the sound. For those who are movie-savvy and can make out some of the lines, it might very well be from a romcom,

[Yeah Karkat PROBABLY wouldn't have heard it at all if Eridan's finger had worked CORRECTLY and hit OFF instead of the volume button. Ignore his cursing and stammering as he actually hits the button he wants, turning the TV off.]

Uh... No. I was just watchin' uh--some Teewee, not any a your romcoms, I mean they're okay an' all but...

[Just gonna stuff that notepad between the cushions of the couch stealthily. Which means, not at all.]

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

[Eridan's definitely not looking much like an antlerbeast in headlights now, not with how he's avoiding looking at Karkat's face as he protectively keeps his hand over the spot where the notepad was just shoved.]

Nothin' at all, Kar. So how was your little outin' an' all? Did ya just go for a walk, or did you go somewhere specific?

[Changing the subject, yep anything to distract from this embarrassing situation!]

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

I'm not actin' weird.

[But good, seems he's moved on from asking questions about what he was doing. As Karkat speaks though, Eridan's eyes fall upon the case for Serendipity... That's right there... On the coffee table, out in the open for anyone to see.]

[He leans forward, as if to get up, but then looks to the notepad that's still basically poking out, but then to Karkat. First world problems here, yep. Well, he seems distracted enough, so just... Gonna snatch the case up and stuff it in between the cushions too. Eridan is a master at hiding shit, yep.]

... Oh? An' what holiday is that?

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

What?

I was just shiftin', gettin' comfy. GOD, is that SUCH a crime?

[Shitty liar he may be, but doesn't mean he's not gonna try!]

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

[gdi he doesn't want Karkat knowing of what he was watching or to see the notes his hand is currently hiding with the aid of the cushions.]

It doesn't rightly matter. Tell me about that holiday instead.

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

Kar, I'm not hidin' anythin', I think you're just bein' paranoid.

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

[Ffff, yeah he wasn't aiming to piss of Karkat, just cover his tracks concerning this embarrassing note-taking. But being pushed aside means that his hand is no longer keeping the pad down between the cushions, a good inch or so sticking out, along with the case he was trying to hide.]

Fuck, don't--

[He tries his best to cover it, push it back down and somehow hope it can just disappear once he presses it back between the pillowed crevice. Sadly, he knows this won't happen, but goddamnit if he can't hope!]

Don't fuckin' worry about it alright? It's not important!

[ACTION]

[yerawizarderri]

Kar, leawe it alone!

[He's definitely looking more and more humiliated as each second goes by, eyes wide with somewhat horror as his wrist gets snatched, and Karkat's hand dives for the cushion. Fuck, fuck, fuck this is the worst!]
