dave's gone.
again.
luda just showed up and i keep getting the disconnect message.
i just thought everyone might want to know.
everyone who knew him anyway.
if you didn't then i guess you can just ignore this.
and...that's it then.

[He knows the signs well enough. Just let him have a little disbelief first.]

[True to his word, he shows up pretty quick. Knock knock, John.]

[When he opens the door, there are no smiles to be had, an unusual look for John. Instead he just looks...well kind of dead.]

Hey.

[That actually does a remarkable job of pushing back some of the ire Karkat may have otherwise spat at him. He might not have lost a best friend himself, but he can understand the sentiment enough.]

... Hey.

Can I come in?

[ACTION]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Opening the door a little wider, he steps back and waits for Karkat to enter the room. None of the lights are on and for once, there are no random pokemon wandering around the room. Since he knew that would probably only piss Karkat off. Well more pissed off than he likely already was, anyway.]

... You don't have to leave the lights off, you know.

[Still, Karkat comes inside. Somehow despite everything, he's finding a note of worry springing up for his earth human buddy John.]

[He shrugs and closes the door.] I know. I just didn't feel like turning them on. [Yeah, he's just been sitting on the couch in the dark cuddling with Luda ever since she showed up. This is how he copes with Dave leaving, okay. :| Don't judge.]

[ACTION]

[He lets out a breath, looks back to John, then to the room proper. He goes and takes a seat on the couch.]

Fine.

Come on, sit your ass down. You look like you need to talk, too.

[Saying he was surprised by that last comment would be an understatement, but it would also be a lie to say he wasn't grateful for it. As commanded, he takes a seat on the couch next Karkat.]

Yeah I do, but...you first.

[ACTION]

[identity profile] threshecutioner.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mmph.

[Not so easy to take the proverbial floor first. He folds his arms, head drooping as a sort of tired, disappointed look comes over his face.]

The whole thing's been like a slow-motion locomotive device crash since he came back. Not that it was easy the first time around, but I just kept making a fucking idiot of myself because--[He shifts uncomfortably.] Because I hate him, you know? But he didn't even hate me platonically, and just... nothing really worked.

It sucked after everything before, and now he's not even here, so I doubt he'll remember anything if he comes back another time. No fucking point in trying it again.

Guess I'm not cut out for a kismesis after all.
