WHO: karkat and you!
WHERE: various locations, two prompts are at the high school though.
WHEN: forward dated to monday (4/10)
WHAT: guess who has two thumbs and just regained his troll horns? THIS GUY.
WARNINGS: none at the moment except for explicit language from karkat!
a; morning at recollé high
[ if you share a first period 12th grade english class with karkat, you will notice that at one point he gets up to go to the bathroom, leaving his backpack at his desk. you will also, eventually, notice that he just never comes back. it's almost like he just suddenly decided to skip altogether, which is a little weird considering all of his stuff is still at the classroom? he misses the rest of the class. if you have his phone number maybe you text him to see what's up?
likewise, if you enter one of the boys bathroom, you might spot karkat fussing over himself in front of the mirror. when he sees you come in, he will immediately stop what he's doing to rush into one of the bathroom stalls. you might catch what looks like two, small orange shapes on his head?? weird. anyway, karkat has made this bathroom stall his home and he is just camping out in here for whatever reason. ]
b; afternoon at recollé high
[ or it's his home until security kicks him out of the bathroom.
so now you might run into karkat frantically speed walking through the halls. he seems to have acquired a hat, which is fine, except for whenever a teacher makes him take it off in which case karkat goes back to covering his the top of his head with his hands.
whether you spot him while he's wearing the stylish hat or while he is trying to cover his new nubs on his head, he is not going to look very happy. ]
The "what the hell are you looking at?" line is really goddamn cliche, but I swear to god I will unironically use it if you don't stop staring.
c; late afternoon, all around the city
[ while karkat would love to just run home the second school ends, he unfortunately has shit to do today. you might spot him returning books to the library, or maybe at the freshens, buying pet food for his army of cats. maybe you run into him in the streets! no matter where you see him, though, he is going to be nervously tugging down his very fashionable hat and glaring at anyone who looks at him for longer than two seconds.
at one point you can even spot him inside the retrospec building! if you're on the outside, it'll just look like he's talking to himself. if you pop inside, you will discover that he is, in fact, talking to himself! well. he's yelling. at the nonexistent staff. ]
-- and hey, maybe next time you can turn my fucking dick into candy corn too, so that way when you're choking on it it'll be more pleasant, you shady, poor excuse of--
[ maybe you should just shut the door and walk away tbh. ]
d; evening, grub mart
[ finally, late at night, you can find karkat at his job at grub mart, a convenience store in tisse. unfortunately, due to dress code, karkat is not allowed to wear his hat, so his horns are just out there. he keeps trying to hide them like he had been earlier, but at this point he more or less has completely given up on life and is ready for death.
seriously just end him. ]

Well, you have that scythe to scare them off, don't you? [ pats his face again! ] If anyone asks about the horns, just threaten to off them.
no subject
[ he pulls out his phone to go to the camera function since it's the only way he'll have a mirror.
he then adds on, his tone casual but yuuko probably knows him well enough to be able to tell that he is actually worried about her answer, ]
You're not scared or anything?
no subject
She lets go of Karkat and places her hands behind her back, a little shy as looks away, but always composed. ]
You're still you, aren't you? You accepted me for who I am... so I don't see why I shouldn't do the same.
no subject
he wouldn't even blame her if she ditched him though. ]
I don't see why I wouldn't accept you.
no subject
Anyway, you're clearly unhappy about this. But until we find a solution, you're just gonna have to live with it!
But that hat is hideous. Have you ever considered telling people they're part of a costume? Your horns, I mean.
no subject
[ someone else might be able to pull off it being a part of the whole extended april fools thing, but anyone who knows karkat even a little would probably call bullshit on him doing something like that on his own. ]
no subject
Only they can. That's why you're still here.
no subject
[ karkat refuses to sink down to the level of people who would go to school wearing whatever the naruto equivalent of this world is??? ]
no subject
yuuko chuckles. ]
Oh? Is that your former Disney star of choice? Then let's say she's a rodeo queen from Texas. She's really into the horns.
no subject
Yuuko, are you implying that my one true love is someone who wants to fuck a bull?
no subject
no subject
Yuuko, did you find my fursuit stash? How could you dig through my things.
no subject
[ points at her head ]
no subject
[ he does pat the hat though, double checking to make sure he put it on correctly and that the horns are covered..... ]
no subject
[ Either way, lying about the horns is out of the question. ]
Well. At first, people thought my red eyes were weird. People who don't have the app, I mean. But just recently, they started saying, "Oh, that girl? Yeah, she has red eyes. But isn't that normal?"
no subject
Somehow that's more alarming than if they just thought it was normal from the beginning.
[ even if they just got used to it, wouldn't they still think it's weird? like karkat is used to the app by now, but he still thinks it's crazy. ]
no subject
[ Yuuko also thinks the app is crazy. Super crazy. ]
I have a feeling it has something to do with the chocobos... Anyway, hiding them probably won't matter in the long run. You just have to deal with people calling you weird for a month!
no subject
[ if they appeared when he was at home or something at least he could get used to them in private. but nope. had to be in goddamn school. ]
no subject
[ Aren't they graduating... ]
no subject
[ ...... wait can he ]
Is there even anything left at this point though? We're basically done with school by now.
no subject
no subject
[ a terrible example. ]
no subject
Honestly, Yuuko would stop him but it's not like he stopped her from doing what she wanted, either. She doesn't have the moral high ground on this one, so... ]
... I'll catch you up to speed when you get back?
no subject
Make sure to take extra good notes for me then.
