[She giggled at him, her lips pulled back in a bemused grin.] One of these days, you will realize that all my friends entertain me, in their own ways. You're fun to put up with, now and again.
[Though she was honest enough to admit that she couldn't take his headaches every single day.]
[She was having trouble not falling into laughter too.] Anyone who could manage to have such wonderful feline friends as you is not always so surly, Karkat. [She winked.] I am simply an acquired taste, that is all. Like the sprouts from brussels.
Everyone does at first. There's a wonderful special by Alton Brown on making them quite palatable. [...seriously, though, why did he do that? Why couldn't that man have left well enough alone.]
Huh. I figured you'd be more of the type to watch a lot of those really terribly acted action films where they punch holes through helicopters and shit with bad CGI.
[ don't ask how karkat reached this conclusion because he's not entirely sure either. ]
When I watch movies, they're usually spy thrillers actually. I watch cooking shows and the occasional spy show or cop drama. Those are always fun. [She chuckled.] Oh, and alien conspiracy shows. Blame Ryoga for that.
[She snickered.] He has a bit of a temper, and he also has terrible reading comprehension. I haven't seen him since. He was always a little... tricky to find.
but yes, he got me a little interested in things like Bigfoot and the like.
[She nodded.] I won't say it isn't possible. Perhaps there are others with visions of being aliens or vampires, or even werewolves. I know a girl with the most adorable cat ears.
[Not mentioning the horns. Not mentioning the horns. Getting hard not to... but not mentioning them.]
I do not know yet. She got them after I last saw her in person, so I've only seen them in photograph and video. I fully intend to find out.
... [Ahem] Kitten ears deserve to be scritched. It is a rule, even if they're on people. I expect squawking or hissing before purring, though. She was rather incensed when she got them.
[She grinned openly and bobbed her head.] I thought so too. Even if I am dead serious. I'm totally scratching her ears one of these days. I probably won't call her kitty, though. She might break me.
[ look. because when he got his horns, there was a blonde that showed up at his store and they had a conversation about kitty ears, and she was so angry when karkat kept joking about her getting it.
he hasn't spoken to her since, but man, he really wants it to be her out of spite. ]
Cleo? No, she's got black hair more like yours. Why do you ask?
[She probably knew about that girl with the blonde hair. She was good friends with her sister, and that girl definitely had a nasty sense of humor sometimes.
...she might have had the ears too by now. Chloe hadn't checked in on Nina lately. Who knew?]

Ryoga was that weirdo who went on about punching walls right?

The one with the cryptid fascination, yes. He has been off of the app for a while, but we used to talk sometimes, when he wasn't ranting too much.
