Woohoo, another update. I'v been out of sorts lately, and I think writing this is a good thing to keep me into things. So. Uh. Yeah.. If you want, come follow me on tumblr. My URL is redrainofstars. tumblr. com .No spaces. I don't do much on there, due to the fact I don't really have much to do. Ask me about the story, give suggestions, ask things about me, etc. I'm open to anything. Oh, and if you do follow me already, then ask me something so I know you read my story. That way I can love you. I do a few pieces of art. They'll suck until I get my scanner and stuff. So, uh, I guess see you guys there.. Maybe..


Want my tumblr? Read the above. BTW, NEXT CHAPTER HAS RAPE. ARE YOU GUYS -EXCIT-ED? I'm not. I'll just turn red while writing it. Anyways, to the story.


Karkat sighed. Okay. So... He's been left alone a lot. Seems to be a pattern. Let's hope that doesn't happen again any fucking time soon, again. Dave and the others came back, apparently curious about a stray honk. Karkat had barely peeked out of his coon to know this. He reached up and scratched his chin, leaning back into the slime. It was a welcome feeling, compared to all of the shit he's been going through the last few weeks or so. The others were in the room, talking. Softly, mindful for Karkat's sake. Kanaya figured he'd had a lot on his mind, and all. Plus, he had figured out what she ment by the diamond thing too fast.

He'd normally ask "WHAT THE FLYING FUCK OF THE EVER-LOVING VEIL ARE YOU DOING?" ..Or something along those lines. Karkat.. had been thinking over his feelings appearently, and knowing that instantly set off an alarm. Showing an emotion other than rage.. Was odd. That is what he was like a lot of the times, mad and yelling. Not all of the time, but most of it. So, she knew that every single little thing was going to trouble him, and so on. Maybe she should practice her human sarcasm, and get tips from Rose since she's here now..

But now's not the time. She's on night watch, once again.


X-X-X-X

Karkat sighed, and was taping his fingers down on the keyboard. His face quirked into a frown. These humans were so fucking stupid. Especially that John one. He was so fucking annoying. Karkat shook his head, and growled. He was getting even more anoyed. He stood up, and walked away from the computer, knowing he could go fuck someone else's time instead of fuming at his computer while John put the bunny back into the box.

Hell fucking no was he going to watch that.

He stepped onto the transportilizer and stood there for a moment, looking at all of the transportilizers circling him. He wasn't going to go bug the trolls he hated- that'd piss him off more. Kanaya was on option- Wait, no.. She was talking to the Rose human. Damn. Terezi was talking to Dave, or playing court with her scalemates. Those suckers were hanging everywhere in her room. A lot of the others he didn't really feel like talking to, or dealing with their shit. Maybe Gamzee was fucked up on a pan of pie.

Sounds like a fucking plan. Go annoy the sopored juggalo. And Karkat did.

He walked over to the floating Capricorn symbol, and stepped on it, disappearing. A very short moment later, he was standing in Gamzee's room. Karkat walked forward, and took a quick glance around and noticed that Gamzee had his face covered in pie, and snoring loudly. "IDIOT." Karkat mumbled, and looked around.. Maybe cleaning up this shit would do him some good. He could fling shit into a disposal thing, and do something productive while the asshole sleeps.

Sounds legit. So, he started picking up a hell ton of faygo bottles, and empty pie tins. So, apparently this fucktard couldn't even pick up after himself. That was just fucking pitiful. Platonically. Yeah, platonically. He finished up pretty quickly, and looked around, double checking. Karkat noticed scratches and stains on the wall.. They were pretty low, so it must've been made when he was sleeping or something. Thinking of which, wasn't there something like that around at his old hive?

Karkat went over to one, and inspected it. The stains were sopor, definately. Maybe some grub sauce, too. Small drawind around the scratches, as if to make them less threatening. Well, fuck, Gamzee must know he claws in his sleep. The juggalo actually tries to cover it up when it's natural too. Almost all of the trolls do that.

Karkat paused, and went back, imagining the very first, and last time Karkat had ever gotten to go to Gamzee's hive. He never went again because it was a dump, and it took too fucking long to get there. Plus too many dangers, like the hostile seadwellers. But when he did, he obviously noticed there were a fuckton of claw marks, colors around the bottom of the walls, and stains. They weren't that big of marks, so they must've been made when he was younger, a wriggler or grub maybe. The colors, though, might've been grub sauce or blood.

Stupid seadweller's blood around the bottom. It's why you should never attempt to attack Gamzee.

That's just suicide. Karkat knew this even before they started the game.

Yeah, so now, Karkat's damn sure he pities this idiot. Platonically. I mean, the idiot tries to cover up shit his past. Just like how he pretends he's not lonely without his lusus around. Or how he acts like an idiot. Karkat could see right through him.

That's how if was platonic.. But.. How'd it turn red? He... Can't remember, actually.

That's when Karkat woke up to a scream.


I can't believe I'm doing this to you all.
