The only reason he even met Tavros first is because i probably rp as Tav the best. And I kind of felt like it.
Maaaybe I should have done Sollux... ._.
The Longwinded Biography of a God
Chapter 9 ...in which Karkat discovers Trollian.
Karkat glared at his browser window. All these fucking ads for some sort of messaging system kept popping up, and they were driving him up the wall. Trillian, or sonething like that. It sounded ridiculous. Like something from a shitty sci-fi movie make by some incompetent film director.
Ping!
Another ad.
"Gog. Fucking. Dammit." Each word was punctuated by Karkat's head slamming into the desk. He sighed an propped his head on his fist. Might as well see what it is.
As it turned out, the program wasn't spyware or a virus or anyhing of the sort. It really was an instant messaging program. The little red and black troll up at the top was a bit eerie, but he could get over that. Looking through the little toolbar at the top, he saw something titled 'annoying'. Clicking it, he found that you could actually change the way you type effortlessly. Though instead of doing anything too intricate, he just settled to type in all caps. This took a bit of work on his part, setting all the changes, but it looked pretty good afterwards.
Then he found the text color changer. He set it to grey, matching the color of the sign in his shirt. There wasn't any particular reason, but he thought it would look cool.
Searching through the toolbar again, he found something called 'random encounter'. Already able to tell what this meant, he clicked on it, ready to annoy the shit out of some unsuspecting asshole.

There was an awkward moment where neither said anything. It made Karkat wonder if he scared the other troll off. He wouldn't be surprised, no one really liked talking to him on any of the websites he visited, anyway.

CG: AND NEITHER DO I, I SUPPOSE.

More awkward silence. Karkat decided now would be as good a time as any other to wrap up the conversation.
CG: FUCK.
CG: NOT THAT I WOULDN'T *LOVE* TO KEEP THIS FUCKTASTIC CIRCLE OF AWKWARD SILENCES GOING, BUT I HAVE IMPORTANT SHIT TO ATTEND TO.

Well, that was lovely. The Tavros kid was pretty nice, Karkat guessed. Maybe he would actually talk to him again.
But not for a while. His quirk gave him a headache...
