Karkat winced at the small amount of burning light that began to steadily sleep through his window. "Ughh", He groaned. He rolled over and yanked his blanket over his head, hoping that time would go back into the cool night he faintly remembered. After about 5 more minutes he decided he really should make at least some effort into entering another routine day. He crawled out of his bed and his feet contacted the matted carpet. The teenager began to start the day.

After a long and difficult hour of preparing for his work day, Karkat was finally ready. Although he really did not feel the great need to go outside and stand on a boat for 6 hours with an additional two breaks , he felt it better than going to school only to be victimized by surrounding creatures. He was currently on a holiday break, even though a useless holiday it was, but still a break altogether.

He waved goodbye to his dad who was currently invested in reading an article about the government reforming. Karkat then smoothly walked out of the door and onto the audible street. He looked at his surroundings and saw a variety of beings. All of them ranging from standard fairies to shilikuns. He began to walk at a steady pace throughout the town looking forward cautiously. When almost around 5 meters away from the dock was when he was tackled by a frail yet powerful being. "AUGH!" he shouted as he fell to the ground. "Hehehehe!" Karkat opened his eyes to face a small girl with a head of a cat. "Oh fucking shit Nepeta! Do you really have to do that every fucking time your see me?", he growled. "I just can't help it!", the bastet snorted.

"Nepeta, please…calm yourself." Karkat turned to face a heavyset centaur, otherwise known as Equuis. "Equuis how do you expect me to calm myself! You sure have some silly empty wishes!", She giggled. The horse man clacked his hooves onto the brick road. "Fine Mr. Grumpy pants! I'll calm down fur your sake.", She said purring every r in the sentence. Karkat shifted his weight on his feet, feeling somewhat uncomfortable by the large boy's assertiveness.

"So what are you guys doing on the shitside of town?", the human inquired. "Well we were-"Checking out shops for the purrfect gift for Equuis' lady friend!" The centaur began to blush heavily at the bastet's interruption. "Oh! So you and Aradia are still twisted together like a pair of fucking headphones." "Well you can-"OH THEY ARE SOOO MEANT FOR EACH OTHER! They are meant to last furevfur!" Karkat awkwardly grinned at the girls enthusiasm. "Well I better get off to the docks for motherfucking crabdad y'know. Don't fuck yourselves over exploring. Don't be a dumbass, no matter how fucking tempting it is to be one." "Bye Karkitty!", the small girl chirped before dragging her gigantic friend off to tour more shops.

Karkat continued his stroll to the wharf. He found the small boat and untied it from the stand after loading onto it. He started to sail out to the farthest point and watched the small town fade away. Sighing he focused his gaze onto the ocean waves. He didn't feel just ready to pull out supplies and bait for the fish. He lowered an anchor and kept the boat steady. He sat down and just thought about the hopes for a financial regrowth for his small family that was him and his old dad. He lost focus of what he was doing and who he was and just took his best friends word of actually relaxing for once. Slowly his eyelids lazed over his glossy eyes as he entered into a morning nap.
