been pretty excited to see the eggman here, too :D

[Karkat is momentarily distracted by the Pokémon (doesn't Dave have one of those?), but then the yelling resumes and yeah, okay, this is getting kind of fucking tedious, is this what talking to him is like? Except John's so incredibly John about it that if Karkat were literally anyone else, it would be impossible to stay mad at him. As things are, what the fuck is wrong with you, John, why do you think he's even standing there? Because he's hoping to get a refreshing human spittle shower? Argh.]

I'm almost tempted to make you guess just to put off the inevitable barrage of human friendship platitudes except I'm already so fucking nauseated by your stupidity that the second you start, I would unleash a torrent of vomit so massive it would drown you and leave us right back where we fucking started.

[And, just in case that wasn't hint enough—]

It's Karkat.

[harlequinhater]

[He catches on about the moment the phrase "human friendship platitudes" comes spilling out of Karkat's mouth, and hearing the name just confirms it. Well, this was about the last thing he expected.]

Karkat? What the hell? No way is that you!

[John walks over and, without warning, starts feeling up Karkat's head, rooting his hands through the former troll's hair in search of something. Personal space, what's that?]

Where are your horns? Why aren't you gray? What happened?

[quadrangle]

[—UM, OKAY, A LOT OF TOUCHING IS HAPPENING, KARKAT WAS NOT PREPARED. Jade had hugged him the moment they met in person, but this?? Definitely not something he'd seen coming.

He's too stunned at first to react, which gives John plenty of time to assault his poor unprotected cranium, but the moment he recovers, he's batting at the human's hands and trying to contain his blush that is totally not a thing at all and obviously a figment of your imagination.]

W-what the hell, John, back the fuck off! [Swat, swat, retreat. Can he just put some distance between them, this is uncomfortably physical.] It happened when I came here! Everyone who isn't human winds up with your inferior anatomy, dipstick, which I was going to tell you before you decided to flip your shit and grab me!

[And he's just. Going to keep his own hands on his head now. No more touching, he can't deal with the touching.]

[harlequinhater]

Hey, I just wanted to check for myself!

[John holds his hands up with a passive "woah there" expression on his face. It's just some hair Karkat, no need to flip out about that, geez. Still, he's confirmed that there are no horns on the former troll's head, so mission accomplished.]

Anyways, that does sound pretty weird. But I can't fly anymore so I guess it's kind of the same deal? You would stick out a lot around here if you were still gray and I would stick out a lot if I were flying above all of the normal people, who are not gray and don't have awesome wind powers.

[Because losing cool powers is exactly the same as becoming an entirely different species, right?]

[quadrangle]

[... oh my god]

John, you rancid shitgoblin, do you even listen to what nonsense spews from your gaping, feculent seedflap?! How the fuck are those two things even comparable, you've only had wind powers for three fucking years!

[At least Karkat's not flying off the handle over having his skull groped? Uh, anymore. But really, John Egbert, what the fuck is wrong with you.

He half-snarls, half-sighs explosively, yanks his hands out of his hair, and clenches them at his sides, glaring at this worthless human. Why is he the one who has to do this and why is that fucking stupid black crush a thing that even happened, can he just forget all of this and foist John off on Dave or Jade?? Where are they, anyway?]

All right, listen up! I, your magnanimous creator and sovereign deity, am offering you a limited time deal: ask whatever fucking questions plague your inferior human lobe stem so we can put this shit behind us and meet up with the others ASAP. That's Dave and Jade, by the way. It's just us three. Terezi isn't here at all.

[And a. Sudden pause. A complete shift in tone.]

Did something happen to her?
