As much as Karkat new he should probably show up early, as he was supposed to be somewhat in charge and thus should set a good example, he found himself running around his dorm room checking and double checking everything he was bringing with him. He also had more than one freak out at the prospect of what he was about to get himself into. Sure, he had taken a couple of self defense classes, plus his ROTC program had given him some basic training in survival and weaponry. But what the hell did he know about fighting monsters?
It was only the first day, he told himself. They probably wouldn't even get much done besides debating what their situation actually was. This was not the time to worry. He loudly yelled at himself to suck it up and get it over with. He thought he heard someone in a neighboring room yell at him to shut up.
Digging through his bag, he triple checked that he had his notebook, two water bottles, his medicine ball, and a pack of protein bars. Incredibly, he almost forgot his phone. He wore a pair of gray exercise shorts (that actually fit him) and a plain red Nike T-shirt, along with his worn-down black sneakers. Ready to lead a group of crazy young adults into battle with ancient magical monsters.
When he arrived at the park, he scanned around until he found where Kanaya was sitting with Terezi. Damn it, he had been hoping to just talk to Kanaya before anyone else that he didn't really know was there. With quick, business like strides, he made his way over to them. Since he had only ever met Terezi in dreams, it was incredibly fucking weird to see her in person.
"It's incredibly fucking weird to see you in person," he said to Terezi. Then he nodded to Kanaya. "Looks like I'm on time after all." He checked his watch. "Two minutes for everyone else to arrive before they're all fucking late. Of course. Why should we be punctual when preparing ourselves to become monster-fighting deities?" Not that Karkat had really been any earlier. "Oh, who cares. Hello Terezi, I am Karkat if you don't remember, and I will be the leader of this monster-fighting league, or whatever the hell we're calling it."
