Feeling Like A Real Pain In The Neck | Closed to Karkat

[drawntotheflame]

Kanaya had done as much work as she could before her jitters became too much and she began to pace. Even if she trusted herself to be in public she couldn't go for a nighttime walk because she glowed in the dark! She forced herself to calm down when anxiety-induced claws pressed into her palm.

Old failed garment in hand, she typed a few messages to Karkat and then began to meticulously rip it to shreds.

GA: Karkat
GA: Do You Have Time To Talk I Experienced A Rather Distressing Occurrence This Afternoon And As Uncomfortable As It Is For Me To Spill My Guts All Over This Chat Like A Cheaply Made 80s Horror Film All Other Options Are Currently Unavailable And My Hope Is That Discussion May Dislodge Some Of The Tension That Has Decided To Burrow Its Way Into My Chest

Karkat's hands stalled over his keyboard. Okay, so fuck, she did attack someone. And it was just because she was... what? Turned on? Holy shit Karkat had been kidding when he said it was like a vampire romance novel. This was almost too much. But then again, she hadn't killed anyone. Yet. Plus, if blood was what she needed, then blood bank it was.

CG: OKAY SO NO MORE DATES FOR YOU.
CG: SORRY ABOUT THAT.
CG: OR AT LEAST FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK, NO CANOODLING.
CG: THAT IS, UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO PREVENT YOU GOING FULL VAMPIRE.
CG: YOU REALLY HAVE NO CONTROL AT ALL?
CG: I DON'T WANT TO SUGGEST PUTTING YOU IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU MIGHT LOSE CONTROL SO YOU CAN PRACTICE.
CG: BUT I CAN'T THINK OF ANY BETTER FUCKING PLAN.
CG: OTHER THAN ROBBING A BLOOD BANK. I STILL THINK WE SHOULD ROB A BLOOD BANK.

GA: I Had Come To That Unfortunate Conclusion As Well I Definitely Do Not Wish To Deposit A Potential Romantic Partner In A Hazardous Situation
GA: Feferi Offered To Provide Me With A Bag Of Her Own Blood For Emergencies And After Knowing Her For A Few Months I Feel Comfortable In Claiming Her Offers Are More Of An Omen Of Whats To Come Than A Possibility You Can Choose To Refuse
GA: I Was Certainly Able To Pull Away From Rose And Provided A Similar Opportunity I Could Probably Secure Myself Somewhere Until Im Able To Consume A Typical Animal Product Or A Stored Bag Saved For Such An Occasion Because That Incident Wasnt Nearly So Hazy I Was Able To Stop As Soon As Rose Called Out To Me
GA: I Do Believe Injury Causes My Body To Go Into More Of A Survival Mode And So As Much As I Do Not Wish It To Be The Most Likely Trigger Is Significant Physical Harm But To Be Honest I Dont Look Forward To Contributing To The Hard Evidence Portion Of That Theory
G: Your Suggestion Is Probably A Good Objective As It Is At Least A Feasible Route Of Forward Motion From The Seemingly Blocked Road I Was Metaphorically Glowering At Impatiently A Few Hours Ago Perhaps I Will Take Steps To Stake Out The Local Hospital I Believe I Could Pull Off Medical Garb Quite Fittingly And At Least The Florescent Lights Would Work To Disguise The Luminescence My Skin Exudes

CG: YEAH WE'RE NOT GOING TO FUCKING INJURE YOU TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE YOU GO CRAZY.
CG: FUCK NO.
CG: AND IF YOU TRUST FEFERI I'LL TRUST YOUR JUDGEMENT.
CG: I AM PROBABLY NOT THE BEST PERSON TO ASK GIVEN THAT THE ONE TIME I REALLY MET HER SHE DECIDED IT WOULD BE FUN TO FUCKING DECK ME WHEN MY BACK WAS TURNED.
CG: ALSO DRESSING UP AS A NURSE AND JUST CASUALLY STROLLING INTO A HOSPITAL SOUNDS LIKE A GLORIOUSLY RIDICULOUS COURSE OF ACTION.
CG: I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT EXACT PLOT RECREATED ON A DISNEY CHANNEL TV SHOW.
CG: BUT YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED THE BLOOD IN THE FUTURE SO AS INANE AS THAT IDEA MOST LIKELY IS I WILL HELP YOU WITH THIS ENDEAVOR.
CG: I GUESS IT'S BETTER THAN BREAKING IN WEARING SKI MASKS.

Kanaya chuckled lightly, the first genuine smile to come to her lips since her fretting began.

GA: Both Plans Have Benefits But Ski Masks Would Probably Be A Slightly More Ostentatious Strategy To Put Into Motion And I Believe We Are Going To Need All The Stealth And Time We Can Manage To Procure During The Absurd And Risky Operation
GA: Would You Like To Meet Up For Dinner Tomorrow And Discuss This Further

[shoutypersonified]

CG: OKAY YEAH LET'S DO THAT.
CG: HAHAHA I CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THIS.
CG: THIS IS WHAT OUR FUCKING LIVES HAVE BECOME.
CG: IT'S ALMOST AS HILARIOUS AS IT IS INSANE.
CG: ANYWAY I GUESS I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW THEN.
CG: TO PLAN OUR FUCKING HOSPITAL HEIST.

Kanaya shut her laptop, feeling much calmer with a plan in motion. Now to go dig out that old nurse costume she'd worn last Halloween...
