[And Sollux is very quick to answer it (he wasn't lying when he said he doesn't really do anything around here), but when he sees his friend he just can't help but roll his eyes, not that you'd ever be able to tell. Seriously it's like KK is always getting beaten up anymore, it's actually kind of funny when he thinks about it.]

Hey, KK. Did you get in another fight with your kithmethith or thomething?

[Even if he can't discern the eye roll, he can tell the amusement just fine for that. And for it, Sollux gets a glare.]

Yeah. He was bitching about he doesn't want me talking with Slick, and we ended up punching each other. Nothing new.

Now can I come in?

Yeah, thure, go ahead. [and he moves out of the way so Karkat can go inside] Jutht look out for FF, the'th kind of thmall and fatht and doethn't pay attention to anything exthept exthiting thingth.

[of course when he says FF he's talking about his Shellos, but he's not actually going to explain that or anything so, yeah. said Shellos is crawling (slithering? however you would describe that type of movement) excitedly around the room, and his Natu is chillin' on a chair or something, but other than that the room is pretty much just normal. for Sollux, at least, so it's only vaguely organized and yeah, his belongings are sort of placed around the room in red and blue color-coded fashion, but at least you can walk around. and dis* isn't anywhere in sight, so there's no danger of it just staring stupidly at people and creeping them out. ~~also this should not have been so long but apparently the mun writes too much at times.~~]

[Karkat raises an eyebrow at that, but comprehension erases that once he spots the Shellos. Not his fault he didn't know what Sollux named it! The Natu gets a glance, too, as he steps on inside.]

Looks like you finally found something not shitty.

[He pulls out his Pokégear now.]

Since I know the basics, what part differs?

What, Natu? Yeah, he'th pretty cool, I gueth. Better than the other two at leatht. FF'th getting a bit better now that the'th getting older, though. Although the'th thtill exthited about jutht about everything.

[movin' on past the Pokemon, and he pulls out his own gear and we insert another long technical explanation of the wonders of encoding things and actually knowing how computers work.]

Thee? It'th not really that hard. [to Sollux, at least]

At least yours are easier to keep track of. I've got eight of the damn things now; can't even keep them all with me.

[But it's technical explanation time, yay! Karkat does his damnedest to try to follow along, and he actually does a better time of it now... But it is still him. Soon enough he's scowling again, both at his gear and himself.]

... Just walk me through it again. And no laughing.

Okay, maybe, but I only have one that'th really utheful, tho you're thtill better off than me.

[to his credit, Sollux doesn't actually laugh, although it's pretty damn close and he still sort of snorts before rolling his eyes again (if he can't laugh he has to do something) and going over it again. not quite as slow as when he taught him to do it in the first place, maybe, but slow enough that if KK's actually paying attention he should be able to follow along. at least, hopefully.]

[Sollux of course gets a bit of a glare for that snort.]

[But if there's one thing that can be said about Karkat, it's that he listens when he actually cares about a subject. Whether or not it makes him any good at it is clearly another issue entirely, but it's enough to get him through the explanation this time. So at the end, without any prompting, he gives it a try.]

[He shoots Sollux a glare, but like last time, still responds in text.]

[there is so much grinning going on over here, mocking KK is the best pastime ever.]

[He just scowls all the more.]

[And yeah, he actually is laughing at Karkat now. This is too funny.]

[Gonna try to elbow Sollux in the side now.]

[pff, that just makes him laugh more, this is completely hilarious right now. of course if it continues then we'll likely get some moodswinging over here.]

[Karkat just keeps looking more aggravated, even growling under his breath.]

[Sollux actually gets a bit angry, now, because this argument is getting to the point that it's kind of stupid.]

[...of course only about two seconds after he types that, he's back to hating himself.]

[At that, Karkat closes his Pokégear, instead opting to turn and face Sollux properly. All the better to yell at him as he yells.]

I just said I'm not going to stop talking to you! Even as stupid as the whole fucking mess always is. I do hate you, yeah, and talking and these stupid arguments and everything, but I haven't called it all off yet, have I?

Oh, tho you hate me that fucking much but you're jutht putting up with me anyway? Ith that thome thort of thtupid mathochithtic tendenthy or thomething, becauthe you know how much I love jutht catering to your thtupid fantathieth!

Masochistic--? You fucking kidding me? And I know damn well you hate me too, fuckass, but you still always get upset over this bullshit and talk to me anyway. So who's the masochistic one? You did befriend the huge asshole who hates everything!

Yeah, well, it'th no fucking thecret I hate mythelf, dumbath! And I never thaid I didn't hate you I jutht don't thee any reathon to thove it in your fathe all the time!

Then what do you call all that mocking you do all the time, dumbass?

But fine, if you are doing this just because of how much you hate yourself, then maybe that's my problem too. You know damn well I hate myself more than anyone else hates themself, so maybe I am a fucking masochist to go through all this shit every time.

That'th jutht me mocking you, it doethn't have anything to do with hating you!

And no, you don't, it'th not even pothible to hate yourthelf more than I hate mythelf, tho really I don't think we need to thtart thith thtupid argument again okay?! I have a lot more reathonth to hate mythelf than you do anyway! But at leatht I'm not getting off on making you hate me too, tho I gueth you thcore one more point than me there!
