After the movie was over, Jake and Jade said goodbye to Karkat. Karkat sat in shock when the lights turned on. He can't believe how much excitement these moving pictures brought to him. The movie had ups and downs, funny moments, and sad moments. It was a blissful experience.
"Movie's over, you dork," a sound coming from his right, "Move on." Karkat turned right, it was the woman about his age. She was holding a cane, her pale eyes revealed that she was blind. Why would a blind person come to the movies, he thought, and replied to her, "How did you know I'm sitting here?", he stood up, "Also, why did you come to the movies? Did you even know what this film was about?" The woman smiled, "One question at a time…" she adjusted her tie, "You were one of the smart people who realized that I was blind when they first see me."
"Should we talk outside?" Karkat asked, "I believe that most people are leaving the theater." He stared at the blank seats. It's easy to fool a blind person. "Right," she replied, "Let's go outside."
The city streets were full of cars and people. There were lights everywhere, and Karkat even heard that there were more lights at night. They don't even have to worry about not going out at night. "You're a country person, aren't you," she asked, Karkat was shocked, "How did you know? Are you a faker?" The woman replied, "You smell delicious. I love the country smell." He was creeped out. "I'm sorry…what was that?" he asked, about to step away. She smiled, "Don't go away just yet, you dork. I'm safe!" Karkat came back, but he knew he shouldn't trust a woman wearing men's clothing. "What did you think about the movie?" the woman asked, still holding her smile. "It was amazing," Karkat exclaimed, "It's like a person's life. There are many characters that you'll meet, and there are also many good and bad moments. It was my first movie, I get it if you don't think I should be amazed." He realized that the person he was talking to was blind, "You didn't watch the movie…did you?"
She burst out laughing. She is the most cheerful person he'll ever meet. Perhaps it's because she can't see the reality. Great, now Karkat wants to be blind, too. "Dave explained everything to me," she said, "I guess Vriska explained it to me once, too. They were good explainers. You can't really trust Vriska on everything, but Dave is pretty trustable." He still finds it weird on how she recognizes people by smell. "So…uh…" he sighed, he can't believe he was asking her such a stupid question, "What do they smell like?" The woman got excited, "well, Vriska smells like blueberry, or sometimes I like to explain it was blueberry gum. Sometimes she smells like alcohol, if you're not a cop, I can tell you that she works at a secret bar." Alcohol. Karkat never tried alcohol. He heard it was a big thing in the city, but he only saw his brother drink it once. "For Dave," She continued, "He smells kinda like you, in fact, I think you guys should meet. He's still got that country smell on him, but he is working in a car factory now, so I guess it'll wear out soon."
He shudders in the creepiness. "Well," he says, lamely, "That's interesting." She laughed maniacally once again, "You don't have a job, don't you?" Karkat thought about it. He could lie to her, but he decided not to. "No," he sighed, "I used to work in a car factory though, it shut down." She turned her maniac smile into a sad frown, "Oh, well, at least you had a job," she said, "Not like me, I'm just doing my job to get to law school." Karkat was shocked, women never do law. No wonder she's wearing men's clothing, and that white fedora that seems like she came from a gang.
"Hey, so I'm assuming you don't have food tonight," she kindly offered, "You wanna come to my house and get a meal?" Karkat frowned, "What? No! Why would I go to the house of someone I just met? You…" he realized his stomach is eating itself, he growled, "Make it quick, okay?" She smiled, "Name?" he replied, "Karkat Vantas." She readies her cane, "Terezi Pyrope."
Karkat thought he heard the name before, then turned back at the movie poster of the movie he just watched. He then realized in despair.
He was stupid enough to watch a movie made by a blind person.
