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. ]

Yeah, okay. Look you big baby, I'll do it then.
[SHE APPROACHES.
APPROACHES TO RUB HORN.]
no subject
[ even karkat is aware of how little sense that makes but also
lay off his nubs?? ]
no subject
So unless he stops her, like, physically, she's just gonna
rub a dub dub
his nub a nub nub]
no subject
MOVES HER??? AWAY???
this is one of the few times where he is actually taller than the person he is trying to physically remove ]
no subject
She's moving.
Nobu takes her hands back to herself proper, without a struggle.]
So? How did it feel? Good? Bad?...stimulating?
no subject
[ he has to wonder for the millionth time why does he keep ending up in these situations with her, god. ]
Fuck, I don't know. It doesn't feel like rubbing anything else, it's just... weird?
no subject
[She knows horns aren't bones. But these horns are weird.]
I guess this is another mystery to add to the pile.
Maybe we'll learn more if someone else gets horns.
no subject
It probably means I'm an alien or something.
no subject
Like that?
[If only it was as cool as being superman really.]
no subject
[ karkat would have been a goddamn terrible superman who would have somehow found a way to die hilariously ]
no subject
[STILL.
She knows what he means, so-]
Aliens is an interesting theory, though...we could've all been planted here in an invasion of the body snatchers kind of deal. Maybe we're only remembering our true purpose now...bit by bit.
no subject
... actually, no, that's a lie, he was claiming aliens right when retrospec first got installed. but that's not the point. ]
Maybe we're all set to timers and that's why some people are getting the app later than others. The people getting it first were brought to Earth first.
no subject
But here she is rolling with it anyway. Don't get too into it Karkat.]
All these changes in our perception must've been made to help us acclimatize to alien fauna. It's the only logical conclusion.
no subject
I can't believe we solved the mystery.
