♋ 33

[crusthatecean]

[Karkat wakes up, only to discover everything is wrong. His regains, his possessions, are all missing. Whoever took them only left a few of his movies, not even his favorites; when it comes to rom, he's always been more interested in gory tragedies than comedies. And whoever stole his things replaced them with absolute shit. Cheap looking husktop, cheap looking sickles, shirts all replaced with a sign that's clearly supposed to be a joke, and none of them would fit Gamzee.

He'd blame Gamzee for this, but the mutant freak is too stupid and useless to even be capable of pulling something like this off. Which means someone else is officially on his shitlist; no one breaks into his hive without permission.

When he speaks on the phone, his anger sounds much more serious than usual; instead of flipping out, he sounds like he's trying to hold back, and his alternating tone makes him sound unstable and erratic.]

[Phone]

What is this? Wait, you know what? No. I don't even care.

Whoever broke into my motherfucking hive, you are in for a world of hurt.

If my paint, and my clothes, and my actual, non-shitty sickle and all of my actual non-shitty things are returned within the next hour, I will bash your head in with my bare fist. It will be relatively quick. It's not a bad way to go, all things considered.

Because any longer than a half hour, and I'll have had time to get creative, and creative is much, much, worse. Trust me on that, my bedroom walls are motherfucking screaming for an update in decor.

((OOC: For the AU event, Karkat has been swapped with an indigo version of himself, who grew up in a highblood mansion by the beach with a seagoat lusus. Of course, he still looks the same, and if he sees his blood, he'll notice it's still red.

Just warning that Karkat in person may be violent or dangerous.))

Comments

[Phone] Leaving shock relatively vague- do you want CR match ups to the AU or confusion at behavior?

[est33medpouncellor]

[[Nepeta's AU is minor-ish; she didn't go in the vents, therefore not dying at Gamzee's hands, but the result is severe survivor's guilt, a trigger-type attack instict on Gamzee, and a fear of being alone. ;-; She's typically less cheery, really.]]

How do you know Mayfield didn't do it Karkat? It might not have been any othurrs..! If you want paint though, I can give you some, I have lots ovurr here... [...Though... she hasn't really touched them since she woke up this morning and did her clothes thing. Even that was half hearted.]

I don't have anything else though...

hmm confusion probably

[crusthatecean]

You don't have the kind of paint I need.

Why would Mayfield replace my things.

WHOO~ Alrighty then~ I wonder, if Karkat's AU is switched with Gamzee...

[est33medpouncellor]

[[What would his world Nepeta be? Still green, or something else? :0]]

I don't know! But you said that Mayfield liked to do that sort of thing all the time when I got here!

[Wait.]

Oh- Sorry. But what kind of paint were you looking fur then?

[crusthatecean]

((Cappy and I worked out the other trolls! Nepeta is in Eridan's place because Leo is right after Cancer still!))

The kind for my face, fuckstain. Someone took it.

[cueball]

[...Hah...]

I see the town has gotten you too. Well, I don't see it as much as it is a painfully obvious fact. Enjoying it?

[The answer is no, but he likes using question mark filled rhetorical questions.]

[crusthatecean]

What are you even talking about? I don't care.

[cueball]

Oh yeah, I definitely believe that. [The sarcasm is obvious enough to not call it out. Though Karkat's strange attitude and fluctuating voice makes him curious. Definitely not acting like himself.] You don't realize anything strange though?

[crusthatecean]

Aside from the point of this call? I want all my shit back.

Phone

[worstvikingever]

You too, Karkat? Seriously? What is going on around here?

[crusthatecean]

What the hell are you talking about?

[worstvikingever]

Talking like... like you're a different person.

[crusthatecean]

I'm talking like the same person who happens to be justifiably pissed off.

Where the motherfuck is my paint?

[miraculls]

[By this point, he's pretty much given up on trying to fix the odd bordering-on-friendship they had once shared and lost when his blood color was revealed, instead resigning himself to just ignoring Karkat more often than not. Unfortunately, living in the same hive made that rather difficult sometimes, so it's with a rather flat expression that Gamzee pokes his head into Karkat's room.]

Bro, you are one loud motherfucker, you know that? [He holds out a plastic bag with a bunch of clown paint and make-up in it.] Here. This shit was strewn all over my respiteblock for some reason, I figured you might be wanting it back and all.

[crusthatecean]

[He turns and snarls a little at the unwanted intrusion; the last thing he wants is to see Gamzee.]

And tell me why I would want to cover my face in paint that's been touched by your filthy shitblood hands?

[miraculls]

[A shrug - he's learned by now to just brush Karkat's comments about his blood off.]

I didn't actually touch nothin', but aight, ain't no husk off my exoskeleton if you don't want it. I'll just go throw it in the receptacle bin.

[crusthatecean]

Throw yourself there, it's where you belong.

[Surprise, Gamzee not minding his comments just makes him angrier.]

[delusionaldetective]

[That's the angry horned boy on the phone. Is there something different about him...? Well, no time to worry about that - it's yet another mysterious incident, and the world's greatest detective simply can't leave a crime unsolved.]

♪ I hope you've preserved the scene of the crime. We'll need to look for clues in order to solve the mystery.

[crusthatecean]

Solve the mystery? Are you kidding me?

[delusionaldetective]

♪ Not at all! It's a lower-profile crime than I'm used to, but burglary is still a serious matter.

[cullscuttlefish]

Karkat? What the shell happened? What do you mean, 'paint'?

[crusthatecean]

My paint. My face, dumbfuck.

[cullscuttlefish]

What's the big deal? Just borrow Gamzee's if you need it that badly.

...wait. You don't wear face paint!

[Phone]

[balaton]

It sounds like you need help.

[crusthatecean]

What's that supposed to mean?

[balaton]

Just that you could get someone to get your stuff back for ya.
