This is definitely not LOWAS

[In a particularly nasty part of the already generally unpleasant cave, John Egbert descends, catching himself before he takes a nasty fall. This place sure doesn't look familiar but that's okay. Nothing has looked familiar in a while! Instead of climbing down the steep decline, John floats down because gosh, floating is awesome; he's pretty that if floating were a thing people could just do, shoes would be totally obsolete.

Landing at the bottom of whatever makes up caves - biology is his thing, not geology! - John looks around.]

Hello?

No, you weren't being creepy! I was just really embarrassed, I guess!

[you shrug. There's really not much else to say although you're really glad it was just a breakdown in communications instead of Karkat just being an asshole!]

[pincerattack]

Oh.

[You fidget a little, because you feel kind of awkward just standing here during your big pity confession but you don't really want to embarass him more than you already have.]

I. I pity you, too.

[fiiiidget. blush. oh gog your face must look like a... very red thing.]

[prankster_gambit]

[oh gosh your face is so red you're pretty sure it's going to explode like in cartoons! You scrub your eyes before grinning.]

That's awesome!

[You pause before mentally shrugging - another hug is coming, it definitely seems like that is a thing that's suppose to happen - and wrap your arms around his shoulders again.]

I don't watch a lot of romcoms but when I do, I'm pretty sure they go something like this!

[Congratulations, you've gone back up the echeladder, and have leveled up to BOYFRIENDLEADER. ...still no boondollars, though. But that's okay, because huggig him? Still awesome.]

Well, I've watched plenty of them. ...and yeah, some of them do.

[In fact, you could pretty much title this In Which A Mutant Troll Living His Life Outside The Hemospectrum Gets Taken To Another World By Some Weird Means, And It Is A World Without Culling That He Does Not Really Want To Leave Even Though He Has Responsibilities And That Makes Him A Tool But He Doesn't Care, And He Meets Up With A Human He Knows Who Has Also Come There And It Turns Out His Long Standing Black Crush Was Actually Flushed This Whole Time And He Realizes It When He Sees How Pitiful This Human Is Face To Face, And They Confess Their Pity Feelings After Some Fighting And There Is No Kissing Yet Because They Are Six Sweeps Old And This Isn't That Kind Of Movie And Anyway They Are Probably Not Ready For That Yet Because They Only Just Confessed Their Feelings But There Are Two Hugs. Your life is now a romcom. This is awesome.]

[you pull away and grin at him]

I'll really try and stop being so stupid and human when you tell me about troll stuff, okay? Just let me know when I'm being a huge jerk. I'll listen, I promise!
