♋ 001

Characters: Karkat ( OU ) and whoever
Setting: Variety of floors
Format: Action
Summary: The hermit has to get out *some* time, right? Karkat is just doing his thing. Looking around at new floors.
Warnings: Swearing. It's a given.



Floor 19

[ if there is something that Karkat has done in the past, it is observe. he had watched the human kids and made extensive notes about all of them. flaws. actions taken. anything of interest. quirks. stuff like that. Karkat even had written out his opinions of them. he doesn't have that sort of luxury here and his fiction selection has dwindled since the whale incident.

his original intention had been to just find a library. usually he doesn't visit floors outside of the media room and the bare essentials. a research library isn't what he had in mind, but it will suffice. who knows? maybe some of the remaining philosophy and psychology books will give him some answers about questions he's circulating in his think pan lately.

this is how he spends his first few waking hours, huddled with a stack of books at his left and he's mostly thumbing through them. topic surfing. ]




Floor 10

[ don't go out near the ocean. this is common Alternian knowledge. sea dwelling trolls are vicious, as are many beasts that can be found in the depths. Karkat has seen the ocean, sure. but the aquarium is a completely different experience. he's never really seen sea creatures before, so he just kind of stares in wonder, mouth slightly open.

it's a clown fish swimming close that gets his attention. like any kid seeing something for the first time, he's reaching out to poke at it through the water. ]

[ There could be nothing better for Satou than a research library. The moment she found this floor she found herself trapped. Not because of a supernatural or horrific trapping mechanism of some sort, but because she once she started picking out books she couldn't stop.

Unfortunately, her primary topics of concern are interlaced with history. Satou was disappointed at first, but does settle on some books about human psychology and what few alchemic philosophy books may be there. She walks with ease, even with such a tall stack of books in her arms, but pauses when she sees Karkat thumbing through books.

Looking for something specific? [ She offers carefully, a bit nervous about the start of any social interaction. ] Maybe I can help?

Mmm...

[ She takes some time to consider her answer...

... then nods.

Well, more than you look like you need help... you don't look like you're doing anything but mindlessly thumbing through pages. [ Blunt. ]
