towerofanimus | ♋ 002

Characters: Karkat Vantas ( OU ) and any lovely people willing
Setting: Media room!
Format: Action spam
Summary: Best way to nurse anything is by sitting down in front of a movie, huddled in a blanket, right? Well of course that's right.
Warnings: Swearing should be standard by now, right?

[ curled up on a couch is one Karkat Vantas, blanket around him like a cocoon and stiffing every few minutes. he had started to feel a little tired and drippy around the nose area a bit ago. honestly, even though he had told Feferi the other day to stay in her room, he doesn't feel safe in his own. something about sharing that small of space with those humanoids just rubs him the wrong way. it's not like he's going to ask Gamzee if he can tuck into that recuperacoon of his either...

so there's really only one other option and he's taking it. taking the entire couch, that is. some romcom is playing on the screen. Karkat even has his collar pulled over his mouth, just to keep the air from being contaminated. one side of him sets a water filled bottle. the other has a box of tissues and a bag to toss them into.

honest to god he's just playing a movie to fall asleep to. he definitely needs it. ]

Psshhh, 'm not that unsteady. Just a little dizzy, that's all. Better now that I'm sitting down though.

[A short coughing fit prevents him from continuing momentarily.]

But I heard some music coming from somewhere. Couldn't sleep 'cus of it, so I figured I would come down here 'n see if I could get them to turn it down, but...

[Buuuut...no music.]

[ Karkat had been about to argue. honest and true. but his ears perk at the mention of music... ]

John... There is no music. I'm the only one here.

[John gives Karkat a blank stare.]

What? How can you not hear it? It's plain as d-- oh I get it.

[He smirks, folding his arms over his chest.]

You're trying to prank me again, like you did with the whole moirail greeting thing. Well it's not going to work this time, buddy, sorry!

[ more blank staring back. ]

What the fuck are you even going on about? Moirail greeting?

Oh shit, that's right. [Sniffle!] You're not the same Karkat. Never mind then. But that still doesn't mean you can't prank me, so that part still stands at least.

...John.

John.

There is no fucking music!

I swear there is though! It's faint but it's just kinda... [He starts humming the tune which doesn't sound like anything remotely familiar to anything because it's fucked up tower hallucinations and it's not actually there.]

[John's Haunter floats over to the couch after having spent the past however long this conversation has been going on swapping DVDs and their cases. He has of course, been making sure to make only the most grievous of errors while doing so. I'm sorry, did you want to watch a light-hearted comedy today? Too bad, you're getting gore-fest part five the reckoning the sequel everyone dies at the end!]

[He looks at Karkat then glances to John and rolls his eyes with a short cackle. He lifts a disembodied hand and starts mimicking the universal hand sign for crazy. His master's gone off the deep end, hasn't he, horned dude?]

[ don't mind Karkat as he shifts and moves away from the ghost thing. at least it looks like the human standard ghost. it is a human standard ghost, right? whatever it is, Karkat is glaring at it.

the gesture though... that has Karkat nodding rather vigorously. ]

[Aw, come on man. Slimer isn't up to anything ~~at the moment~~ you don't have to move away like that!]

Slimer! [Hold on, coughing fit.] I saw that, I am not crazy! [Cough. Sniffle.] Ugh...

But you seriously don't hear it? It's really quiet, but I swear it's there.

No, I seriously don't hear anything but the rumbling in my own chest and the sorry excuse of wind passing through your vocal chords that you deem to call a voice...

[ but he might have said that a little too loud. he's coughing now. ]

Maybe your ears are stopped up...

[That can happen when you're sick, right?]

Oh well. [Sniffle.] So 're you the Karkat from my universe or some kind of Altkat? Guessing you aren't the same one who's been with me in Johto for the past year or so.

If you're coming from a different reality, doesn't that make you the Alternate here?

[ excuse him while he takes a long drink from his water. anything to make the irritation in his throat go away. ]

I got here right after the whole Green Sun fiasco.

Well I don't know, I mean there's a chance we come from the same reality. At least originally. [Cough.] I have kind of done some universe hopping, you see. Played SBURB for a while, then got universe nabbed to this place called Johto, spent two years there, and now I am here.

But technically, wouldn't everybody be an alternate to somebody else from a different reality?

[Jeez, Karkat, be more considerate.]

No shit, John. It took you this long to figure it the mighty fuck out?
