[ Karkat coughs loudly, then sucks in a breath. His voice is quieter and even more hoarse than usual. Despite how desperately sick he is, somehow he manages to keep any grunts of pain to a minimum. ]

CAN'T EVEN FUCKING TYPE

Comments

[asideglance]

Ah... Karkat...

I apologize. I am in Spero so I cannot bring anything to help.

[yourgoddamnit]

OH WELL.
YOU KNOW
I'M KIND OF HAVING DEJA VU.
REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN WE FIRST MET FACE-TO-FACE
AND I WAS BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHY YOU CAME TO HELP ME.

[asideglance]

...Because it is the right thing to do, isn't it?

[A pause]

Marco is there, correct? I am certain he will help if he can.

[yourgoddamnit]

IT'S NOT THE SAME, DOUCHE BAG.

[ I think that's Karkat for I MISS YOU, JAPAN 8( ]

[asideglance]

[HIS HEART... he can speak Karkat.

Okay not speak it but he can understand it.]

My apologies. I will have to make it up to Karkat the next time we meet. [Which probably translates to more sandwiches or something even more awesome.]

[yourgoddamnit]

I WAS GOING TO SAY "YOU'D FUCKING BETTER"
BUT MY SENSE ENTITLEMENT CAN ONLY GO SO FAR.
I'M NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOU KNOW.
IT'S NOT LIKE I EXPECT YOU TO COME RUSHING TO MY AID AT EVERY FOLLY I MAKE AND EVERY CATASTROPHE THAT AFFLICTS ME.
THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE
AND AN UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION ON MY PART.

1/2

[asideglance]

Ah... Is that so?

[asideglance]

[TAKE THIS MOE SMILE it's rare treasure it. Or scream idk.]

Even still, it is something I would like to do. Ah, be there for Karkat, that is.

[yourgoddamnit]

[ KARKAT IS NOT SMILING but if you hugged him he probably wouldn't lash out violently... ]

WOULDN'T THAT BE JUST FUCKING PEACHY.

[ He shudders, closing his eyes. Everything hurts so much. SO MUCH. ]

YEAH, IT WOULD.

[asideglance]

[Aw Karkat... Japan's quiet for a moment, thinking. He's not sure how to help, other than...]

If you tell Marco to retrieve the tea in my apartment, it contains ginseng. That may help a bit with the pain, though I apologize it will not be such a vast improvement.

[yourgoddamnit]

OKAY.
SOMETHING TO KNOCK ME OUT FOR A WEEK WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.

[asideglance]

Sadly I do not have any kwanso tea.

[yourgoddamnit]

DO YOU THINK BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA WOULD HELP?

[asideglance]

I would not recommend that.

[yourgoddamnit]

WELP, THEN I'M FUCKED.
LET THE EONS OF TORMENT COMMENCE.
MAYBE I CAN ESCAPE INTO A DREAM WORLD
LIKE IN THAT SHITTY MOVIE ABOUT OUR TOTALITARIAN SOCIETY
AND THAT ONE GUY HAS THIS FANTASTICAL ESCAPE AT THE END.
BUT IN REALITY HE'S STILL BE TORTURED BY THE HIGHBLOODS.
YES
I WILL BE TROLL SAM LOWRY.

[asideglance]

Ah... I never understand your references.

That aside, though, perhaps it will get better over time.
