Who: Karkat Vantas and whoever!
Where: All across Vatheon.
When: Anytime during the week.
Style: Action please!
Status: Open.

[A curse that makes you say the truth no matter what you want is not exactly Karkat's idea of a fun time. He's not much a liar, no, and his worst secret isn't so secret around Vatheon anymore, but that's not the point. What's the point of being open if it's forced from you? And as outwardly prickly a guy as he is, he doesn't want his squishy inside exposed at will.]

[Unfortunately, as is true for every curse, life doesn't stop just because you're inconvenienced. There are groceries to get, his job at a video store to do, the coral to visit, and his usual sickle practice in the park. He tries to avoid people if he can, oh yes, but there's only so much he can do. Even if he evades them outside the hive, he can't exactly send mental waves to stop them from coming to visit him at home, if that's their prerogative. Ultimately, he's bound to run into more annoyance than he'd like. But what else is new?]

(OOC: This is pretty standard! Pick a place to meet him, and feel free to note a specific day if you have one in mind, though the second probably isn't too necessary. If there's any problem I'll let you know.)

[Another afternoon spent in the park. Leo was on his way back to the house he shares with Annabeth and Percy when he spots Karkat in the plaza.]

[He actually liked the guy and didn't think he was nearly as bad as Percy had made him out to be. But then again, Leo hadn't gotten an eye-glazing lecture on troll romance from him.]

Sup, dude? [He waves and walks over to him.]

[Funny thing about trying to avoid Jade--

It's impossible.

She's not interested in prying truth out of him, because she knows very well once that got started it would happen to her too, but when she sees him with a load of groceries she does wave.]

Hey! Want some help with carrying those?

[He's still her friend, figured it'd be nice to ask.]

[While cursed himself, Equius hasn't altered his daily routine all that much. He likes to think that he says what he means most of the time anyway, so a truth-speaking curse won't affect him that deeply. Perhaps he will soon find out how very wrong that assumption is.]

[Regardless, he's walking past the Plaza after having visited the Nostalgia Quarter (his chocobo greens garden got ruined by the flood, and it's alarming how many greens two fully grown birds will eat) when he notices Karkat. Being a mature and rational individual, he stops, fights the urge to duck behind a building and avoid him, and watches from across the Plaza.]

greedily hogs all the CR

[Sufferer has been spending a lot of time in the park lately, having left his hive in a huff and moved into a hotel after he found out about Dualscar's new quadrant partner. When he sees Karkat practicing with his sickles, he approaches, glad for the distraction and pulling his staff out of his sylladex.]

Mind if I join you?

[ Gumball was not really a fan of living up on the island but upon reaching this bubble, he realizes that he is probably less a fan of the incredibly moist conditions he is now subjected to. Water water everywhere!

There's also the matter of this pesky truth curse that he appears to be under! Well, this is his first Rodeo of Truth and he has not yet determined a ~hero~ worthy enough to fix the problem so he bravely decides to ride out his fate of ultimate truthiness.

Anyway, long story short...there is Karkat! Were they friends now? Their start was not the best and they did not have an official friendship ceremony, much to Gumball's dismay, but perhaps he could present the troll with something else. Something to show that the past was all behind them and that they could be friends without worries or cares, hakuna matataing it up until their hearts exploded! A smile? A nod? Perhaps just a simple wave.

Hopefully this wouldn't be cause for any untimely deaths...

Gumball hesitantly reaches his hand up to greet Karkat, fighting the mental waves that appear to be trying to push him away. ]

Good evening, Karkat the--! { oh my. He said he didn't like that. ] --Karkat!

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG

[ Annabeth is walking along the plaza with her arms full of architectural drawings when she spots someone she thinks is Karkat walking in the opposite direction. Normally she'd just walk on and let him go, but they've made eye contact now and it'd be rude not to say something. ]

Oh, you're Karkat aren't you. Hey.

[ Plus, this is the first time she's met one of the trolls in person and she can't deny that she's extremely interested to talk to him one on one. ]

[Eridan hardly has to visit Karkat at home, when he's home already. Avoiding him isn't exactly easy either, not with as much of an attention-seeking dramatic tool Eridan is, after all. It's a few days into the curse, and Eridan's definitely picked up on something not being quite right. Especially when he realizes that his usual bluffing and gloating has really taken a crippling blow due to him not being able to lie.]

[It'd be a lie to say he wasn't a bit nervous to be around Karkat with this truth-forcing curse being into play. Not for anything he might be forced to say, but who knows what Karkat might have to say. Of course, he's got his faith in that Karkat is truthful with him, and that his general worries are irrational anyway, but it's there. Definitely there.]

[This particular night, though, Eridan has himself curled up on the couch, nose deep in a book. He's avoiding the network at all costs, really. He hardly wants to slip out truths he's got no intention of sharing with strangers or worse...]

[COME BOTHER YOUR BOYFRIEND, KARKAT.]
