Vriska was wandering around the tower like she usually did when she got restless, which was most of the time because she couldn't do anything here. Jack was out there somewhere and she couldn't go after him in this stupid place. She almost wished he'd show up here so she could finally deal with him.

Not to mention John wasn't here, and she was growing ever frustrated with the fact. Two of the other humans were here, but no sign of her human. Surely he couldn't be dead, he was God Tier. There was no way- Her thoughts were interrupted as she almost tripped over the prone figure on the ground.

She looked down, ready to insult whichever stupid human had gotten in her way when she noticed the familiar horns. Oh, this was just too much. A grin slid across her face, and she nudged him in the side repeatedly.

"Haha, what's this? Vantas, you look almost as pathetic now as you did when you passed out in the Veil."

Karkat growled at the person happily nudging her foot in his side, wishing he could legitimately scream out his displeasure. The most he could manage to do, with great effort, was swat his hand at her foot weakly. His own weakness sickened him.

"Fuck off, Serket." He breathed out, sounding quite obviously drained of all his usual ornery energy. But fuck, really, this bitch was the last person he wanted to see him weak and basically defenseless.

"Can't get up? How lame! You know, maybe if you stopped trying to stay up all the time, you wouldn't end up in such totally sad situations. Jegus, it's not like we're in the Veil anymore."

Vriska didn't stop nudging him for another few minutes before she leaned down to eye him.

"Soooooooo, how long has it been since our brave and fearless leader slept?"

The 'thump' of Karket's body got Shou's attention, and he bolted up from another couch. What was that...?

One of those grey troll-kids?

He moves over, stooping down and attempts to shake his shoulder. "Hey, you alright?"

cancerousnubs July 31 2011, 18:25:46 UTC

Karkat was not alright. There was no resisting or flailing, it was like shaking a rag doll. He did blink at the human, though, that he could manage.

"Fuck-if-I-know, human," he slurred, "...tired."

thisclinchesit July 31 2011, 20:58:43 UTC

"...well, sleeping in the floor isn't much fun, I know that from experience."

There's a pause as Shoutarou considers the lack of resistance from the boy, though. "You need a hand up to your room?"

[Molly here's a thump and looks around to see on of the trolls on the ground!]

[She stalks towards him and when she was standing over him-]

Your horns are really tiny!!

They haven't seen each other yet right? cancerousnubs July 31 2011, 18:32:57 UTC

[Karkat sends the human as much rage in a glare as he can muster, which isn't a lot, regrettably.]

...fuck you.. they're..they're gonna grow...

I... don't think so? princesspowaful July 31 2011, 18:35:47 UTC

[she laughs at him as she stands over him, not even five feet tall]

Yah huh, sure. Then how come Tavros has giant horns! [she puts her hands out to show how big Tavros's horns are]

s'what I thought cancerousnubs July 31 2011, 18:40:40 UTC

[Omg Molly he's so pathetic right now you might even make him cry.]

Fuck Tavros' horns! [Oh, apparently he had a little energy left to sit up and shout--

before falling back down like a lump.]

[So that thing about countries being weird? She thinks they might have some challengers now. For example, him.]

Good lord, are you alright there?

cancerousnubs July 31 2011, 18:37:35 UTC

[Nope, nations are still weirder. ]

What the fuck do you care? Go 'way.

[He grumbles, he should probably stop wasting his breathe on words.]

dawnlotus August 1 2011, 02:08:14 UTC

[Goddammit, there goes her dreams. But at least the way he answered and grumbled solved one mystery]

Because you just collapsed facedown, and if you keep going like this, you won't be able to get up at all. So I will care.

[She kneels down next to him.] Would you like to get back onto the sofa? Or back to your room?

... His roommate appears to be on the floor as Minato walks into the room. His normally unreadable, placid expression shifts just slightly into surprise ( ... )
