Who: Sufferer and everyone crashing at Dualscar's hive this week
When: throughout the curse week
Where: Dualscar's hive, which he's now sharing with two freeloading holy bros
Style: whatever
Status: pretty open

Freshly equipped with new hands--new hands with thumbs!--Sufferer finds himself taking care of multiple trolls who have been turned into animals, including but not necessarily limited to multiple cats, an aquatic hoofbeast, an Alternian bee, and a mute penguin. Of course, this being the party hive that it is, others drop by during the course of the week as well.]

[OOC: mingle, start threads with each other, have fun! Just let everyone know in subject header if it's closed or open or what.]

I wasn't going to nap, I was just resting.

[He's pretty adamant about that point.]

If you want to sleep, fine, but don't whine to me if I'm not there when you wake up. And if you dare try to lick me again, do not think for even a second that my shit will stay unflipped.

[bestestfurrend]

Okay, okaaaay. I'll be a good kitty, I purromise. I'll have a nice cozy nap next to you while you're resting.

[Yup just gonna try and cozy up to his side now to get at the warmth of all that fur. Surely cuddles are acceptable at least? She doubts it.]

[bethehugejerk]

[Nooope. Karkat predictably scoots away with her with a sort of snort. The deal was next to, not laying against him, and he is nothing if not stubborn. He resettles in this new spot, curling up such that her can give her a warning look even as his tail curls over the tip of his nose.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Fine, she sees how this is. She settles right where he can see her giving him the saddest, most betrayed look she can muster. ...it's difficult when seeing his tail like that makes her want to bat at it so badly.]

[bethehugejerk]

And would you stop giving me that face? This is not, in fact, the end of the world.

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta very slowly and dramatically flops over onto her back, paws flopped out every which way, giving him precisely the same look, just upside down.]

[bethehugejerk]

Nepeta--Nepeta, stop. What are you doing trying to give me barkfiend eyes when you're a cat this week? You should know full well you won't melt the solid rock of a vascular organ I have that easily.

[bestestfurrend]

Karkitty, you’re being meaaan! I just want to cuddle and nap. [Have some softly unhappy mewling added to that look. …she knows it probably won’t do anything to convince him, but even just his reaction is hilarious.]

[bethehugejerk]

And what part of lacking cuddles prevents the nap portion? If I of all trolls can be inclined to rest a little this week, for you it shouldn't be such a problem. There is no such thing as terminal snuggle deficiency. You will not die if you don't fill your daily quota of hugs. You'll be fine, and whining about it is helping neither of us.

[He just keeps his own stubborn look, bolstered now by the irritable flicker of his tail tip.]

[bestestfurrend]

There is! I will die without snuggles! I can feel myself withering away already!!

[Her large green eyes blink at him, upside down as she is, paws waving about in the air.]

[bethehugejerk]

No you won't. You're fine, Nepeta.

[bestestfurrend]

Karkitty is a grumpypuss.

[She rolls back over onto her belly, pouting and laying her head on her paws.]

[bethehugejerk]

[He breathes a put-upon sigh.]

Look, if I let you curl up against my side - note, not sprawled over me or any other over-cuddly configuration you could come up with - will you stop pouting and take your stupid nap already?

[bestestfurrend]

Yes!!

[She gets back onto her feet, already starting to trot over.]

If I can just cuddle next to you I'll be a furry happy kitty indeed. And I'll be very quiet and not bother you at all.

[bethehugejerk]

Then just this once - once, mind you, not later today, not tomorrow, not any other part of the week - I will find it within me to tolerate it. You understand?

[bestestfurrend]

I understand! Just once, right now, and that's it! That's okay! This is really really nice of you, Karkat. [She toddles over on her paws, looking as pleased as a kitten can be.]
