Characters: [AU1] Kanaya Maryam (reddeadvirgo) and [AU1] Karkat Vantas (romcomedian)
Setting: Floor Three, the lower library.
Format: Action
Summary: A potentially pale and probably much-needed reunion.
Warnings: Bluekat's language I'd wager. Most probably sadness (and by that I mean angst.)

[He'd told her to stay put. So she did. Not that she really wanted to wander much further into this tower anyways.

It's pretty clear that she can't believe her eyes when she turns and sees him. She's still in the white bodysuit, for lack of rummaging through her trunk. Probably for the best. All of her clothes show her symbol in red.]

...I would like you to know I am sincerely hoping that you are not a delusion brought on by however many things have worn away at my think pan.

[She tries to sound sarcastic. It half-works. But she still looks like she's seen a ghost.]

I can accept that title also. Supreme High God of Dishing Out Advice sounds ace to me.

[He rolls his eyes and forces a smirk at that last part of her statement. HIS JOB WAS A SERIOUS THING, OK????????]

Maybe I will take that horn then, you ungrateful little nooklicker.

[reddeadvirgo.livejournal.com]

You are full of it if you think I am going to call you a Supreme High God of anything, besides maybe being a completely intolerable bulge sucker.

[Oh yes, she knows the world would be lost without the king of hearts and spades to fix all their romantic follies.]

I invite you cordially to make your greatest attempt at doing so. I do not think you would be able to take it even if you truly desired to.

Shouldn't you know better than to turn this into a challenge by now?

[That smirk turns a little more malicious.]

[reddeadvirgo.livejournal.com]

I have to say I do not feel challenged.

[Translation: no.]

[This will be Karkat, reaching for that horn again -- except he's going to cheat and use his powers to root her to the spot so she can't stop him.

So she gets to watch him slowly and dramatically reach for it.]

[Oh gog damnit she forgot that the 8LUH 8LUH HUGE 8ITCH was psychic.

From the look on her face (if he'll even let her make a look anyways), she is incredibly indignant about this turn of events.

Jerk.]

[Oh he'll let her. And laugh at her for the look as he...dodges the horn entirely in favor of completely ruining her hairdo.]

Ooooooooh, so scary.

[reddeadvirgo.livejournal.com]

[Not that her hair was very tame or dignified-looking anyways, since she hasn't really had the opportunity to make it less ratty-looking, but the tousling definitely does not help.

Can she talk? She'll certainly try to. And if she can, what she will say is:]

I find your unfair play to be utterly deplorable.

[If she can't, she'll continue to glare. Grrrr.]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I'm a scoundrel. Besides, you deserve it.

[He releases her shortly after.]

[reddeadvirgo.livejournal.com]

[With her newfound freedom, she will likewise attempt to put his hair in a similar state of ruin.]

What I ever did in my lifetime to deserve the constant presence of you and your detestable underhanded mind powers, I will never know.

[Veiled appreciation disguised as an insult? Maybe just a little bit.]
