[ murderous impulses are a natural part of any healthy young violet-blooded troll's life, and there is nothing to be ashamed about when having them.

however, they're also kind of a pain when you're currently living in a society that abhors indiscriminate slaughter. therefore, he's developed of having ruka talk him down whenever he starts marking down quiet exit routes and the parking lot to a nearby church he knows is going to be completely empty for the next hour and a half. ]

[ the setting: a grocery store. no this isn't like that test drive thread at all, shut up.

the scene: a triskalicious™ stand near the meat department, offering samples of their new cookie line, something resembling a cross between a treacle tart and an oreo, except mass produced and generally unappetizing in appearance. there is a small crowd of irate hipster slacktivists gathered in the general vicinity of this cart, and appears to be a bit of a ruckus. the ruckus is not a good, profitable ruckus. in fact, the crowd seems to be very agitated! they even have signs with snappy catchphrases and one-liners on them.

it seems that somebody has started a massive rumor on rumblr concerning triskalicious™ and imports - or, namely, import corpses. according to this rumor, triskalicious™ is the reason why the mass media rarely sees import bodies, as company vans have always been seen within the close proximity of those bodies (within a six mile radius!!) before said bodies disappear. in fact, in one candid shot of some random import's body before it disappeared, a triskalicious™ van has been photoshopped into the background! there are miles long rumblr posts comparing and contrasting the ingredients of triskalicious™ products with the composition of the human body, discussing potential shady mafia alliances between triskalicious™ and crooked government officials, and just generally making things hell for both triskalicious™ and the beleaguered store attendant manning the sample booth.

eridan is not the one who started this rumor, for once. he's just the one who did some of the photoshopping and is now making things as worse as they can possibly get, mainly through the powers of the internet and mass public ignorance. ]

"Eggplant flawored" my angular aquatic ass. This whole stand stinks a fish oil and blood. You corporate slitherbeasts think you can get off mincin' up my and ewerybody else's corpses for some kinda mediocre food for the masses, huh? You make me fuckin' sick.

[ without looking, eridan grabs at the arm of a passing shopper and drags them in, aiming for dramatic effect. ]

Does this look like the face of some kinda fucked up cannibal to you?

[ eridan casually slaps the popcorn bowl out of karkat's hands.

alright, let's wind it back a little: it's movie night at ruka's, which was decided by eridan. (meaning eridan came over for a normal visit, declared it was movie night, and then pretty much monologued until everyone gave in and sat down.) eridan, being as generous as he is, picked the movie too - phlebotinum man, which he swears up and down is the greatest indie movie any of them will ever see, ever. it's the story of a normal human man who steals one of the ~mysterious communication devices~ off a dead import during the titanic halloween battle with cthulhu back in '12, adopts a new identity, and tries to fake being an import himself to live among what he believes is a higher class of human beings. it's billed as 'requiem for a dream' for imports.

a masterpiece of modern cinema, winnersorwieners.com raves.

you're going to hate yourself if you miss this, titters that trashy hipster gossip rag printed on the back of old newspapers that eridan buys.

three and a half hours in, they're still on the scene where the main character is busy eating garbage and crying among bottles of his own urine, as they have been for the past fifteen and a half minutes. it's just some low budget indie shock schlock with navel gazing and a generic "what truly separates man from import" moral quandary tacked on, and even eridan is looking pretty put-off by this point. still, they somehow get onto the topic of how shitty eridan's taste in movies is, which obviously escalates wildly out of control because eridan's involved.

[ there is something very strange about ruka, today.

her emotional state gnaws at him, demanding his attention like a stone in his shoe, a splinter beneath his fingernail. no matter how tries to distract himself, he always loops back around to her referred discomfort. her unhappiness. more sharp and defined than her usual low. many times he has to remind himself that it's ruka's heart, not his -- but it doesn't always help. he's more irritable and foul tempered than usual, in proportion to her misery. because it isn't his unhappiness, there isn't anything he can do to resolve it on his own, and it's like an itch he can't scratch, setting him on edge, driving him crazy.

that isn't the strange part, though. ruka has had bad days before. karkat has tried to talk to her during some -- had let her be during others. the strange part is, if he weren't an empath, and if he didn't know her very well, he might have mistaken her mood for a positive one. he doesn't think he's ever seen her smile so much in one twenty four hour period. except it's not a smile. not a real one. and knowing what's behind it, it looks more like an artificial grimace to him than anything else.

the entire situation has him on edge. worried. he has to wait until her brother is out of the general vicinity to approach her, though. and even then, some part of him wonders if she won't simply refuse to drop the pretenses. if she'll tell him he's imagining things, to stop projecting his own heart onto hers. there are any number of ways this could go.

it's not until a little after lunchtime that they get some time alone. before speaking, karkat takes his strategic position in front of the staircase, blocking the main escape route. he folds his arms across his chest. ]

Who do you think you're kidding?
