Chapter 1
Karkat POV
You are a gray cat awakening from a nice nap. Lying next to you is the sleeping form of your owner. You don't know how long the two of you have been asleep but it looks as though it was beneficial to you both. You remember that your owner has frequent nightmare, of course none of them you can explain as you are a cat. You lift yourself up onto all fours to do your little after-nap stretch. After doing so you skirt along the edge of the bump that your owner takes up. You find the edge of the bed, nearly falling of because of the slippery blanket. It's covered in green ghosts things but you don't know that you are a cat. You walk slowly to the door, stretching out your muscles from sleeping, and proceed to check the rest of the house.
Oh wait you forgot your name, as you frequently do after taking a nap, now what was it again? Oh yes that's right your name is Karkat Vantas but your usually called "Karkitty" by your owner and his friends. That's alright with you as you aren't one to FLIP OUT RANDOMLY. That was when you were younger, a past you if you will, and all the mistakes as past you are his fault. But enough of that let's just say after a certain incident you mellowed out. Surely this will lead to a flashback sometime later in the story but you have no control over that.
Anyway you strut about the hall showing off your magnificent feline form, surely the best in this household. But even as you think that you feel a strange presence come up behind you. This isn't something that a lot of the other cats in the house do so you know who it is immediately. But instead of some random strife how about we let this gentlecat tell his tail (tale) before that can happen.
Strange Cat
Suddenly the narrative is centered on you, and you start to sweat. You would ask for a towel but no one seems to understand your meow and your fur has already started to absorb it, making your coat matted. You decide that you will leave to develop your character before you confront Karkat. You feel that this is more important.
Your name is Equius Zahhak and MAN THAT SWEAT MAKES YOU LOOK FINE. Well not really it's always matted your fur and makes you look like a stray. Of course you make up for this with your FREAKISH FELINE FORM. You are purrhaps (perhaps) the most well-built cat amongst the group your master owns. You turn around and head back down the hallway that you originally were navigating to find your masters room. Then you saw Karkat and thought to try to confront him. Then the plot changed. You believe this is a good wrap up of the last five minutes and continue going about your way. You would love to tell everyone the story of how you met john, however that will have to wait as you feel that the story will come to a stop here. But surely it'll pick up soon.
Not to worry the backstory will take up the next chapter.
