♋ 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. ]

Mmm, and, uh...
[Ugh, come on, spit it out! His tongue was tied and his brain was having trouble thinking of what exactly he was trying to say. He was going to list off all of the things that were plaguing him, and how they subsequently were affecting Karkat, but he couldn't figure out where to start when it came to things that were confusing him at the moment.]
[His fingers toyed with the fabric on the back of Karkat's shirt.]
Ain't never really much fuckin' needed someone to look after my motherfucking ass before. Kinda feels... feels a lots of things, mostly. But, like, never all knew how fuckin' much shit I did went to fuck up on 'til I had someone come to be up and fixing it all for me, you know?
no subject
[ Karkat kind of fails at works sometimes. or he rambles. it can go either way. but right now he is nuzzling Gamzee's chest. all this anxiety. can cut it with a knife. heck, the knife might even break in the attempt though. ]
You help me out a lot and I just want to return it, okay?
no subject
[He grinned happily, remembering.]
Always the most shouty ball of angries I ever was to fuckin' get my see on of, but that was you, motherfucker! You was always there, puttin' up with my motherfuckin' jabberin', never dumped me on Trollian, never all up and stopped responding at a brother. You fuckin' was my best friend in all the whole motherfucking world.
[Gamzee lifted his head, laughing, now.]
Still are. I ain't knowing fuck-all on what my fuckin' ass be doing to all help you the fuck out like you be saying at me, but, whatever it be, I wanna be doin' fuckin' more on it.
You ain't thinkin' you do enough at a brother, but I ain't never had no one do so much shit for me ever, yo. Don't get at sellin' your fuckin' self short, best friend.
no subject
[ he pulls back a bit and rubs the back of his neck. both Gamzees seem to have this unshakable faith in him. Karkat doesn't understand it at all. doesn't make sense. he's such a failure in almost every area of his life. this is so transparent to him now.
but maybe they have a little bit of a point. Karkat believes he is being practical, but perhaps being so hard on himself isn't really doing any good. it means he's been acting more like a kicked young woofbeast instead of his fiery self. while some changes are okay, he guesses, this isn't entirely like him either.
Gamzee is just being honest. this honesty is going to be what Karkat focuses on. no more self loathing!
...well not as much self loathing. ]
I'll try to remember that. Just for you, okay?
no subject
[Even when Karkat was trying to ignore Gamzee, or get him to go away, he was still paying more attention and focusing more on him than most people did. He took the fact that Karkat never "dumped a chump" or got flat-out vicious with him, that he was kind of okay with Gamzee continuing to badger him. If he could figure out how to get that across to his friend, that would be fuckin' bitchin'. But, for now, he'd take this, because it was the best thing to hear.]
Hey, bro...?
no subject
Yeah?
no subject
[He trails off for a second, thinking about what he's about to say. If he'd really gone bonkers back in the Veil, too, then Karkat would be accustomed to Gamzee's radiating aura of indifference and... sociopathy... right? It was all pretty new to this Gamzee, in any case.]
Whatever up and harshed my mother fucking mellow back on the fuckin' rock, whatever wicked belligerence what I all was to up and be exacting... and what or who all ever was havin' their shit fuckin' wrecked 'cause of it...
[He shrugged again.]
I ain't be seeming to find a care fuckin' up inside me on it. 'Cause it be what got me here.
no subject
happy, touched tears. but tears all the same.
what do. ]
random icon because phone tag
No salty specks on a brother, now, motherfucker...
oh phone tags
You idiot. What kind of simple logic is that...
[ because goodness. those words had touched him very deeply. Gamzee gets another hug and well. those tears will dry up here in a second. ]
It doesn't matter. Past, present, or future you... You are you and that's all that matters when it comes to acting on my steadily growing pale feelings for you.
no subject
Thank you, brother.
[He honestly didn't come here to take up Karkat's free time (although he was about as desperate for attention as any wiggler ever was), so he raised an eyebrow nodding at the stack of books in front of them.]
The fuck you doin' here, anyhow?
no subject
Well I had been reading up. Trying to understand the mindset of humans, just a little.
no subject
The fuck for?

no subject
[He flapped the cover of one of the books back and forth in his fingers. Look at this - it's the closest he's ever going to get to reading.]
What's I'm meaning is, like... why? The fuck you wanna be jonesin' at understandin' them stupid motherfuckers for?

I'll let you all fuckin' handle the reconnaissance, bro. Takin' initiative and all. S'why you're the leader.
