o2 ♋ text | action for housemates ♋

I'M CAVING. I'M GIVING IN AND ADMITTING DEFEAT LIKE A SAD CHUMP ON THE LINE OF DESPERATION AND SHEER BORDERLINE MANIA.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU SHITSTAINS DO AROUND HERE TO KEEP BUSY. I CAN ONLY GO SO LONG ENTERTAINING MYSELF WITH MY FUCKING HIVEMATES OR HAVING ADVENTURE TIME BY MYSELF. I MEAN IT'S DEPRESSING, I GUESS, BEING STUCK HERE AND NOT REALLY HAVING A PURPOSE EXCEPT TO BE SOMEONE I REALLY DON'T WANT TO FUCKING BE.
I ALMOST MISS THE HONKING.
FUCK.

[He's completely about to respond with something witty and absolutely scathing (using his rapier wit), but before he can even formulate a response to the importance of shoes, Karkat is barging in without knocking.

Again, rude.

Thankfully, he isn't lobbing his new weapon at Karkat's face, but unfortunately for him, he does actually have the sheath hooked onto his belt and does have the sword out. He looks, for the most part, to be handling it like a complete moron, but at least he isn't posing or prancing. Not that he would ever do that to begin with.]

Do you fuckin' evven knoww wwhat manners are?!

[Karkat gapes for a moment, looking as though he can't quite handle what he has stumbled upon. And then he laughs, raucously so, eyes wide like he hadn't really been expecting Eridan to be acting like a jackass.

He should have known better, really.

He laughs and laughs until he manages to catch his breath, blinks rapidly because fuck no- he can't do the laugh cry thing, thank you very much.]

Fuck, do you even know how to handle a rapier?

[Eridan is immediately defensive, which isn't a surprise considering he's being laughed at, which is highblood code for someone is obviously being a tremendous jackass and it's definitely not him in any way shape or form, no sir.

He immediately slides the rapier back into its sheath - and this is something he has down, which shows you just how much he actually practiced drawing it (which is to say, a lot) - and scowls so hard he's going to break his face.]

Wwhat, like you do? I can't fuckin' help that I nevver fuckin' bothered wwith blades. Wwho wwould wwhen you havve fuckin' awwesome rifles at your disposal?

[Karkat's face twists into a scowl almost immediately. It's defensive in ways that Karkat has perfected over the years; it screams shut the fuck up you dick and don't be such a drama queen all at once.

He squares his shoulders; tenses up and then folds his arms over his chest in a gesture that is in no way sulking (read: it is) and then pointedly fixes his eyes on the rapier instead of Eridan's face. ]

I have a fucking sickle, it's close enough.

[He pauses for a moment. The seconds go by in his head (tick tock tick to-), before he meets Eridan's gaze again and he sneers. ]

Newsflash, you pretentious asshat; your rifles were fucking lame. Not as lame as your wizard wand, of course but close enough.

Hey, fuck you! My rifles wwere awwesome. I didn't see your fuckin' sickles kill evvery fuckin' angel in existence!

[Defensive: meet defensive. Yep.]

An' for your fuckin' information, it's not close enough. They're nothin' the fuck alike.

Oh for fucks sake, you didn't even need to kill them you delusional fuck!

[Hands clenching at his sides and is this seriously an argument they are having-]

They're close enough you ignorant douche.

It doesn't matter, I still managed to fuckin' do it!

[For whatever reason, though Eridan quits pointing his sword in Karkat's direction like a hostile douchebag and goes ahead and sheathes it. (Taking two tries to do it, but still.)]

Look, I don't fuckin' care wwhat you say, rifles are fuckin' better'n this stupid piece of shit, but I don't get to havve one, considerin' that's wwhat my denizen or wwhatever uses. I guess that's howw this wworks, at least. [Otherwise you wouldn't be wearing women's clothing, would you, Kar? ...Or would you?]

You shouldn't do things just because you can you fucking moron!

[It's funny - because Karkat isn't sure whether he misses the temporary feeling of calm, or if he's glad to just

be back to normal. ]

Fuck me, we're wasting time arguing here. Are you coming with me or not?

[Eridan scowls. Karkat is doing that stupid leader thing again! Ugh. He pushes past the other and gets the hell out of his room.]

Fuckin' fine, let's go already, then!

[Someone has to.

He folds his arms over his chest and he is most definitely not sulking about this entire thing. Not at all. ]

[Hey, you were the one all about doing things and making things happen, Karkat!]

Okay, big fuckin' leader, wwhere should wwe go to look for a library?

[Getting sidetracked by lame rapier theatrics is apparently a thing. Regardless, Karkat pinches the bridge of his nose and ignores that leader comment and thinks.]

I don't know how humans work their shit. But they seem to like crowding around each other like they're joined at the hip and then claim otherwise. I guess maybe somewhere they'd all crowd together like a herd of hoofbeasts or something.

[Yeah, that rapier is sticking with him. Look, it goes with the outfit and he... has no reason not to keep it on him.]

...Wwhere wwould wwe evven start lookin' for somethin' like that? [Other than outside and... around.] You'vve been here longer'n me. [No, c'mon, be more useful.] Uh, maybe wwe should just go towwards... shops, or wwhatevver. That's a place people wwould go, right?

[A slightly less than enthused sigh and Karkat's fingers flex in and out of a tiny little fist. ]

Not that long. The humans - Strider and John have been here longer than I have. But give Eridan a fucking medal for his moment of logic. Yeah, we can do that.

Hey, fuck you, I havven't evven seen them around or talked to them. Howw am I supposed to knoww howw long they'vve been here compared to you? [Eridan's going to just stomp off in an attempt to lead now. Karkat, seriously, if you were just a little... nicer...

Yeah, never mind, this is going to end horribly.]

[Behold this touching moment as Karkat's palm meets his cringing face. ]

Slow the fuck down! It's not my fault they didn't roll out the fucking welcome wagon for you.

[He's not slowing down. Keep up, nubby.]

I didn't say it fuckin' wwas! Besides, not like they fuckin' knoww me anywway. Except for the dumb wwitch an her wweird green typing cohort, an' I don't givve a fuck about them.
