Date & Time: March 27, evening
Location: Room 207
Characters: Karkat Vantas and John Egbert
Summary: John and Karkat talk about important stuff
Warnings: Profanity, bug eating, Karkat writing secret fanfiction shhhh


About half an hour after dinner (subpar, but John won't let them eat bugs at communal meals without throwing a fit so nothing can be done about it), Karkat has settled in at the nutritionblock table with his netbook and a bowl of mealworms. He's typing a lot and seems pretty deeply involved in whatever it is, so it's not an ideal time to approach him. Like that means anything around here.

Oh, that's right, isn't it? ... a lot of Karkat's friends are dead. So John figures that this is a lot better than that, even though they have really important things to do. He thinks briefly of his dad and Rose's mom-- thinks of one of his own friends dying-- before pushing that away, and is about to offer condolences. But then Karkat rambles on.

That's one way to keep the conversation rolling. He grins at him, rolling his eyes.

"Uh, yeah. I will be sure to tell you if that happens again. Though all of that weird alien stuff, this part at least, isn't THAT hard for me to comprehend, you know! All you just said makes some sense even if I don't really get how you can be so sure. But I guess I will take your word for it."
