[that startles a snort out of him, followed by some chuckles]
What's your deal with me, then?
[he grins, thinking it's -- kind of funny. he never thought Karkat was anything but a fun person, really; Rin remembers getting into a stupid bet with him on the very first day they met, over something dumb. it's a good memory, and he can't recall thinking Karkat was the mean person he always makes himself out to be]
You are an anomaly that has all three scientists that are on the planet baffled. They are still running tests right now to figure out this mysterious deal.
[ also this is a belated fuck you don't disrespect new moon?? ]
Isn't this pile of stuff supposed to be a sanctified area for friendship, or whatever? I'm reporting you. Who do I report you to? Does the base have an HR?
Unless there has been some drastic changes to how this works, no.
[ granted, as one of the last surviving trolls until they can (hopefully) restart the race, karkat can probably make all the changes he wants?? this is his house now etc ]
[enjoy becoming subjected to this quick, fierce hug. Rin's a little embarrassed, but that is a lot better news than he was thinking Karkat would come up with]
[ he does not hug back because 1) tsun and 2) he is so caught off guard by it
karkat got the news about it like immediately after dave broke up with him so, like, unfortunately his excitement over it got a little spoiled. but later, after he has had more time to process literally all of this, he will definitely be more happy about it ]
Kanaya probably cried when she got it back, I bet.
First of all, never pluralize my name like that again.
[ how dare you...... ]
There isn't much we can do about it here. But once we accept our actual reward and create the new-- home [ he almost said universe but. right. better to not use fucking homestuck terms ] we can start work.
