[ It's true, Ryoji's the one who imprinted and would follow Katkat to the ends of the world. He scoops the cat up lovingly and presses a kiss onto the top of its head. ]
I wouldn't tear apart a family like that. I'll make sure to bring Katkat over for Thanksgiving.

I would have probably used a different adjective to describe them.
[ but okay. ]
So, I would prefer to not make you the test dummy for whether or not it will actually hurt if I bang my head against someone else's? You have yet to make it onto my "people I dislike" list.

| | I suppose I will. Handy for any more people who become stuck to things. [She stands up.] I'll be back as soon as I can. [And she is some five or so minutes later, with a small bag in her hand with the logo of a makeup company emblazoned on the side.] That was actually far simpler than I'd anticipated. They were happy to help. [She puts the bag down and takes out the clear bottle.] You seem to still be stuck. |
If we work together, it won't happen!
[ She sounds determined, as if repeating that mantra will make it come true, as if Karkat will accept this spirit of the holiday season. As he shuffles, she watches the garland carefully for the moment its hold ever so slightly slips. The moment she sees a little slack, she tugs her shoe and sock free.
Well, that doesn't.... completely help them out, but it means she's safer from frostbite. ]

Great, so at this rate we'll be free by New Year's. Good work team.
[ honestly there are worse people to be stuck to and he actually likes chiyo, so he is not complaining as much as he could be.
which is saying a lot considering he's still complaining. ]

| | >No, the odds of that happening were slim. [She says, in a complete deadpan, taking the bottle out.] I can't imagine it is, given that people willingly put it on their hands-- [That said, its pungent odor causes her to lean away from the bottle.] --but to be safe, let's not... ingest it. [She rounds to Karkat's side, dipping the brush in the bottle and trying to paint around his fingers, figuring that if she can free his skin on the sides she can work underneath them.] |
[ Honestly, Orihime kind of wants to ask if she can touch them, but that sounds a little personal. She's just never seen someone with horns before, especially ones that look like candy. ]
That's nice of you.
[ She laughs a little. Though, clasping her hands together, she looks up at the bats above them. ]
I wonder...
[ A pause. Then awkward laughter. ]
...Ah-ahahahah! N-No, no it couldn't be that!

[ It's too bad Chiyo isn't able to register Karkat's different degrees of complaining, but she's not deterred. Not yet, anyway. ]
Hold on. I might have something in my bag that can help!
[ She rifles through messenger bag. Stylus, nope. Pen, nope. Double-sided tape definitely won't help.... ] Or maybe we can call someone to bring us something sh— Aha! I knew it!
[ She brandishes a pair of pinking shears. ]

[ orihime is smart since the number of people he'd let touch his horns is... well, he can count them on one hand, basically.
he frowns at her sudden... awkwardness though. karkat has been suspecting what this might be about for a while now and he was perfectly happy with talking about other stuff and ignoring it???
he actually seems a little nervous that she seems to be breaching that subject. ]
No. Of course not. It's too obvious.

| | [It does seem to be working! Little by little, she's able to get more of Karkat's skin from the candy cane, applying more of the nail polish remover underneath his palms.] I have no idea. The smell is even worse from up close, I assure you. Some sort of chemicals? |
Oh! I don't always carry them around. I've been scrapbooking a lot lately and making collages for gifts! So when I have some free time, I can just...
[ She makes snipping motions with her hand that's not holding the scissors.
She carefully starts cutting the garland. Carefully because she doesn't know if the garland will suddenly attack... She can never be too sure in these Retrospec days. ]</small

| | [Karkat.] I have no idea. That would entirely depend on what you were trying to get blood out of. [She says, somewhat flatly. She also can't get all the way underneath his palms, so she just tries to let it drip down.] That's all I can do for now, I think. We just need to work on getting your hands off slowly. Maybe work them back and forth a little? |
[ They are going to die before they get free. Chiyo's alarmed when she notices the garland wrapping around her hand (in defense, it seems), but she can't stop midway in her task. She'll have to worry about this new trap after she's done. One task at a time, or she'll just get into a frenzied panic. ]
It's not just an old people thing.... I think it's fun, and it's rewarding to record all the things you and your friends do? I can make cute decorations and use cute stickers, too. Have you tried it before?
[ That's a you should try it if you haven't question. ]
