Karkat Vantas | Homestuck | Son of Ares

[tantrumbingo]

[He hates the wall. HATES the wall with the burning passion of a thousand suns.]

Fuck fuck FUCK.

[wordtechgodhood]

[At the bottom of the wall, shading his eyes, is Dave. He watches the other boy for a few minutes, then shouts up to him.]

Hey, Karkat!

[tantrumbingo]

Oh for the love of...

[Muttering under his breath, considering this was probably the one person he didn't want to see right now given his circumstances. He turns his head to look over his shoulder, yelling back.]

What the fuck is it now, Dave?

[wordtechgodhood]

[Karkat hush you know this guy right here is your BFF and that's why he's here to cheer you on.

Or something.]

How long you gonna be cicada-blocking against that corner before you ask for help?

[tantrumbingo]

[Something, sure.]

I'm not going to because I don't need help, thanks! I'm fine just hanging out here. Nice view, I can see my cabin.

[wordtechgodhood]

Nice, nice, 'I can see my house from here!', classic...

[Dave stop talking to yourself you're weirding people out.]

You're stuck.

[tantrumbingo]

[It's probably a good thing Dave can't see the flush that crosses his cheeks at the all too true statement before he turns his head back towards the wall, smacking his forehead against it.]

I'm not stuck! I just need a little time!

[wordtechgodhood]

I can give you time. I can give you all the time in the world, bro.

[You know, because Janus is his father? Haha. Hah.]

[tantrumbingo]

Funny. Real funny, asshole.

[You'd think being the son of Ares he'd be able to breeze through this type of shit, but nope. This is why he was failing gym in high school.]

[wordtechgodhood]

Just admit you're fuckin' stuck. FYI, you ain't even that high up. It might not even hurt if you let go.

[tantrumbingo]

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm like fifty feet up in the fucking air and you want me to let go?

[wordtechgodhood]

... If I jumped from here I could touch you. You want a demonstration?

[tantrumbingo]

You're not fucking Egbert, Strider, you can't control the fucking air.

[thewindything]

[Guess who is floating at around Karkat's height completely unattached to the wall.]

Hey, Karkat!

[tantrumbingo]

[The interruption behind him almost makes him jump, the only indication that he did the fact that he slides down the wall a few meters before he manages to grab hold of it again with shaky fingers, hauling himself up and glaring daggers up at the other boy.]

Goddamnit, John, warn a guy before you make them nearly piss their pants!

[thewindything]

Ew, gross, dude! You look like you're having some trouble there, pal. Need any help?

[tantrumbingo]

I'm not having trouble, cockbite, I don't need any help.

[thewindything]

If you say so. Isn't this about the time the wall starts spewing lava?

[tantrumbingo]

Oh mother fuck--...

[As if on cue, the wall bursts.]

[thewindything]

[John floats back a little to not get lava on him. He's watching Karkat with interest. The frustrating part is that he's being entirely genuine.]

Wow, watch out!

[tantrumbingo]

Goddamnit.

[With a groan, he clings to the wall to avoid the lava that might hit him as it flies out before he turns his head to look at John.]

A little help, asshole?

[thewindything]

[John snickers.]

You want it now? You told me to fuck off, dude.

[tantrumbingo]

John, I am this close to perishing in fucking lava. [Lies.] Move your fucking ass!

[thewindything]

Fine, geez, you're such a crab. [he rolls his eyes.] Let go of the wall.

[tantrumbingo]

[Considering his Godly parent was Ares he could probably try controlling the lava a little but he'd rather not chance it. Instead, Karkat gives a roll of his eyes and pushes himself away from the wall reluctantly, though he does make a comical scramble to grab hold of it again before he drops away from the surface with a slightly girlish scream.]
