> BLUEKAT: 8E THE CRIPPLE

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

Characters: Karkat Vantas (AU) and YOU.
Setting: Infirmary
Format: I'm gonna go brackets, because I'm lazy.
Summary: Karkat's still healing from Vriska's attack, and now he's feeling even more paranoid than usual.
Warnings: Karkat's paranoia is also pretty crippling, give him a minute to calm down

[Being in the infirmary for a week has really done a number on Karkat's psyche. Truthfully, sitting still for this long is really starting to get old, but considering the hospital staff won't talk to him, he's unbelievably afraid of getting up and walking around. So he simply stays, staring like a zombie at the ceiling, pupils slightly shrunken into their sockets.

He has to get out of here. What if Vriska snaps again? Or worse, what if Terezi snaps? WHAT IF THE WHOLE TOWER WANTS HIM DEAD, WHY THE FUCK IS HE STILL HERE.......

Pull it together, Karkat, you're being a nooksucking idiot. Keep calm and lay still.]

I have no excuse for this. Hi Karkat. c:

[ And then, exploring, a very heavily armed and androgynous elf-looking person (Hylian, if you'd like the correct terminology) wandered into the infirmary.

And laid eyes on Karkat. After her their encounter with Dualscar, this one's a bit wary of trolls, but sees he's injured... and, well, can't help but wonder if, maybe, they can help. Sollux had been nice, after all; perhaps only Dualscar was mean.

... Did I mention the green tunic and tights and whatnot? Yeah. Collar color (green) even matches. ]

[WOW ARMOR AND A SWORD? N O P E.

Don't mind Karkat, he'll be trying to inconspicuously pull the covers over his head like that will protect him.]

[ocariness]

[ SORRY KARKAT YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED. So she... peeks over at you because her curiosity is kind of overwhelming. ]

... You're hurt?

[ It isn't the best phrased question, but she asks because she wants to help. ]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

No.

[OH GOD HE'S TERRIFIED and trying really hard not to show it.]

[ocariness]

[ She is completely unaware--she only figures he's stubborn. ]

... Oh. I was going to offer you a fairy... are you sure you're not hurt?

[ To her, offering what she has is only natural. It does not even occur to her that it'd be odd. ]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

A--what?

[OH GOD, THIS ONE REMINDS HIM OF TAVROS.]

Fairies aren't real.

[ocariness]

[ EXCUSE YOU? Her bff is a blinking Navigation System/GPS Fairy. Also, pardon you, she'll be pulling out one currently in a bottle. Pink and glowing and everything. Yeah, Bottled Fairy. Totally normal. ]

Why would you think that?

[...............staring]

...what the fuck -- I've finally cracked. That's it. Insane.

[ocariness]

[ No you're just in the presence of someone from a world filled with magic d u h. Have a quizzical look from the Hylian. ]

... If it helps, I can assure you that you're of perfectly sound mind?

[ She. Does not get it. Why would seeing a fairy equate with insanity...? ]
