ok. there is only one way karkat can turn this around, and that's by fucking cheating. and luckily for him, he is dating the biggest cheater ever so he has picked up on some tips.
so now a giant crab plushie is popping out of his sylladex and falling down right on rin's head. ]
[the sudden assault distracts him long enough for his hold on Karkat to loosen, as one hand jerks up to shield himself from the unexpected crabby plush claws]
[the gauge on Rin's life has just gone from Fairly Normal to Way Too Many Crabs; he's rolling onto his back, trying to get some distance from Crab #1, when Crab #2 attaches himself to his head]
[through a mouthful of shirt;]
Wha'thafuh --
[what is the end game here? win a wrestle through sheer confusion? well, sonny jim, you're about to be a laudable champion, if that's the case. one more trial awaits -- Rin tries to grab onto some part of Karkat, but there's only back and pants. that'll do; attempts to give Karkat a wedgie]
[(hello, he's the antagonist, of course he'd stoop there)]
karkat lets go because... wedgies are painful... he flails though, so he might have just accidentally kicked rin somewhere? hopefully not his face. that might hurt. ]
[yeah no that was right in his chin, which causes him to violently gnash down on his own bottom lip (get it? gnasher?), which -- is typically a terrible happenstance in Rin's case, overall]
Shit -- !
[releases Karkat's pants after one last wedge of that wedgie, turning his head to the side and covering his mouth with his hands. he knows what's happened is officially embarrassing, though maybe finally in his opponent's case, relatable]
[just gonna cover that blood gush with his other hand, be real casual about it. his voice is muffled and little garbled with the leaking issue happening, but it's fine. this is fine. ignore how red his face is getting]
[let's just complain]
Your knees are so pointy, it's like you're made of knives, what the hell?
You're just freakishly fragile. I barely touched you.
[ karkat is very pointedly NOT looking at rin. actually he is going to quickly grab his plush and reinsert it into his sylladex since he... doesn't want blood getting on it... so it vanishes. ]
Exactly, I did it to myself. You couldn't manage this.
[this time around, Rin notices that Karkat is aggressively avoiding looking at him, which is strange considering most people would be fussing. Karkat isn't a fusser, per se, but he does tend to look out for Rin more often than not when they're training, so it's a little out of character]
[Rin recalls how Karkat had acted in the fight with the sharks, and the last time he'd been bleeding around him, and something clicks]
-- Hey, do you have, a thing? About blood?
[as value-neutral as possible, given the current situation]
he has explained the hemospectrum to people on base but he hasn't explained his specific relationship with it, so. like. this is awkward? karkat would prefer not having to explain that to anyone, he doesn't even really talk to dave or kanaya about it. ]

It wouldn't surprise me if my muscles needed their own classification in troll.

[ lmao jk karkat loves rin's muscles <3 ]
no subject
There's no "trying" about it, the results of my hard work are evident.
[like so; puts Karkat in another headlock]
no subject
karkat is going to attempt to... kick up... the lower half of his body.... so that his legs wrap around some part of rin that is closest.....
and probably end up breaking his back or something in the process KARKAT YOU ARE NOT A GYMNAST....................... ]
no subject
[but this is going to get boring if he's always able to down Karkat with a single chokehold]
You're supposed to drop your head and round your shoulders, oi, then go for my ribs. Doing this just makes it easier for me to do --
[continues stretching Karkat like the gymnast he is not]

karkat uses this opportunity to do the smart thing, which is quickly scramble around and escape.
lol just kidding, he does the first part and then just fucking koala clings to rin's head like a facehugger from alien. ]

Hold up, time out --
[aaand there comes the blood through his fingers]
no subject
he needs to readjust his wedgie, which is embarrassing on its own, so he doesn't notice rin is bleeding at first. ]
You stupid assh-- oh. [ yeah that is blood. karkat shifts uncomfortably. ]
Shit.
