The oh-so-OPEN housewarming party assault log

[spandexisyouth]

Characters: Karkat, Gai, and anyone and everyone who drops by!
Location: Karkat's new 'hivething.'
Rating: PG?
Time: Afternoon
Description: Karkat is moving. Gai wants to cheer up his perpetually grumpy friend. Anyone can have seen Gai's post on the network and drop by.



It didn't take many stealth skills at all to plan this party. The filters on the devices made things very easy, and with the labor as greatly divided as it was Gai didn't even have to haul a whole bunch of stuff to where Karkat would be moving in.

Picking the lock was the work of moments and then Gai was in the apartment, starting to set up. Soon others would join him to help prepare, and hopefully Karkat would be slow enough in returning that he would only come when everything was ready. Gai would hope, at least.

[ Hello KK. How are you doing KK. How about that weather KK. Don't turn around KK.

No seriously, don't turn around. There's Sollux, just lingering in his best friend's blind spot. It's as good a place as any, and the proximity to such a familiar presence is calming. All these damn people. Fuck.

Sup. ]

[dungenessmaster]

[actually, Karkat kind of agrees. it's nice to have an ally in this sea of humans, adults, and too-happy trolls, and don't think he doesn't know your bony ass is hiding back there, best bro.

when he finally gets away from all these obnoxious well-wishers, he goes to help Sollux hold up the wall.]

I can't decide if this is the worst thing that's happened to me in Death City ever, or just this week.

[he glances sideways at Sollux.]

Who dragged you?

[2ollux.livejournal.com]

[ It's an important task, holding up the fucking wall. Who else is going to do it? Yeah, that's right, that's what we thought. Sollux does it with an aloof sort of air, arms folded over his chest even if it makes him look less cool and more like a really damn awkward kid. ]

I could blow up your comp again, thee if that tipth the thcaleth for you.

[ He tilts his head, sighs. ]

Aradia of courthe.

[dungenessmaster]

Hey, fuck you, I don't need any more computers screwed over by your shitty code. Besides, I just bought the damn thing!

[probably because he wrecked the one he had before with his own actually shitty code, but shh.]

Shit. I'm glad my moirail doesn't fuss at me like that. I'd flip my shit.

[2ollux.livejournal.com]

Thhe meanth well.

[ he shrugs, one corner of his mouth twitching in something that may have been a smile, a smirk. ]

C'mon, thomeone'th gotta break it in.

[dungenessmaster]

[nope, this crabby customer's not smiling, not even a little bit.]

If anyone gets to break in the new husktop it's the asshole who paid for it. You'll just fuck with my settings or make the password something ridiculous!

[2ollux.livejournal.com]

I'm wounded, KK. Why would I change your pathhword like that? Who the fuck do you think I am?

[ But he's still got that half-smirk on his face, like a man thinking back on a particularly fond memory. ]

Not like I'm juvenile enough to thet pailth ath your thcreen-thaver, theriouthly.

[dungenessmaster]

[and Karkat still looks generically irritated. nothing about the curse virus was funny, and Sollux making pail jokes is just nasty. why do they always end up talking about pails, anyway?]

Not like anyone around here would figure out your disgusting preoccupation with the damn things. They don't even... use those.

WOW late tag i'm so sorry

[2ollux.livejournal.com]

[ well, cursing them all and dooming their fates for eternity was kind of a bad deal but kk's husktop blowing up was pretty damn hilarious. it balances out. ]

Pre-occupation? Dude, I'm not the one licking the damn thingth. Tee-thee ith the one you need to fucking look out for.

[ a look of disgust. ]

They don't?

no worries we're as bad as each other o/

[dungenessmaster]

You're the one who keeps bringing it up, not that she's any better! God damn it, why are all my friends collectively the worst people who ever lived.

[Karkat glances around and lowers his voice a little. this is such a shitty thing to be discussing at a party.]

No, they don't. It's all like... didn't you ask about this shit on the network? I figured someone would've ruined your appetite with the details already.

[2ollux.livejournal.com]

Tho thorry, KK, for wanting to reatthure your quavering hemopump.

[ Sollux huffs, but he glances over his shoulder futively, as if expecting to see a horde of partygoers clustered around in proper eavesdropping fashion. ]

I like to forget thome thingth when I can, man. Did you think I would commit that thit to memory?

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat looks too. at this rate they're going to draw a crowd just by how skeevy they're being.]

I don't see how you can make yourself forget. There are just some things that can't be un-known.
