> 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.]

A few of them wanted to be rulers, but they weren't - they just... had other kinds of power. There... was one group in particular who did things that way. They were incomplete people who wished to be whole.

This appears to be something personal to her.] ...they didn't care who they hurt.

[He motions toward the chair next to his bed, expression sobering just a bit.]

Sounds shitty. How'd you get stuck with that kind of crowd?

[She hesitates briefly, then sits down and places her hands together on her lap.]

It's... complicated. [And there are parts of it she's still not willing to let anyone know, but... it seems wrong not to tell people at least part of it, so at least they know what they're getting into when they try to be kind to her.] ...Do you remember what I told you before? About people like me who are created from other people?
