Also based off of something my friend thought of. I don't actually have a Karkat cosplay though. Too busy spending my money on dress shirts. XXD
Mention of Homestuck and San japan in the chapter.
"Hey, Joey, wha-" Connor trailed off once he saw Joey.
He was wearing a black shirt with a grey Cancer symbol on it, grey pants, a headband with what looked like giant candy corn glued on, and was currently putting on some sort of grey face paint.
"What's up, Connor?" Joey asked casually as he continued to apply the make up.
"What are you doing?" Connor couldn't help but ask.
"Cosplaying a character from a webcomic that I like." Joey stated simply as if it were something normal, which it was, in his eyes.
"Why?"
"Because San Japan is in a few weeks, and I want to test out this new make up stuff. I heard that it's better than what I usually use."
"San Japan?"
It clicked after a while.
"That convention that you're so excited about?"
"Yup."
"Oh. Um, okay then. I guess I'll leave you to it."
The Native man slowly retreated, only to be stopped in place.
"What did you need?" Joey asked, turning to him with half of his face painted grey.
"It's fine. I'll just figure it out on my own."
"You sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive." Connor assured.
"Okay then." Joey replied, not believing him. "Just call me if you need anything. I'm not really that busy right now."
"I'll, um, keep that in mind. Good luck on your...costuming?"
"Cosplaying." he corrected. "And thanks!"
"Yeah..."
'Such a strange boy.' Connor thought as he left Joey to his...cosplaying.
He doubted that he would ever really understand the boy or his strange hobbies.
At least, not entirely.
