What if Ryoji just picks up Katkat and walks away, goodbye ]


You don't have to worry about taxes, Katkat, because I will love and support you forever.

[ A gasp! Don't bring the messy world of politics into this ]

Even with politics, there is a lot of good left in the world! Like playtime with Uncle Karkat and Uncle Ryoji! So let's preserve childhood innocence while we can, alright?

[ Thank goodness family dinners will be limited to only one Thanksgiving a year. Ryoji settles himself in the living room while Karkat goes to corral the other cats; on his own, he can brainwash little Katkat with talk of sunshine and rainbows without the interruption of reality, though the kitten is uninterested and more content to pounce at the ring Ryoji dangles above its head, pulling the chain just out of reach with every jump. ]

[ Katkat immediately abandons Ryoji to play with its littermates, pawing at Karkat's ankles and leaving Ryoji to stand and stretch his legs. ]

Retrospec bingo? I've been trying, but some are more difficult to fill than others. What about you?

Right! I was hoping the game would be something fun to play with others, but there are all these squares about fighting, pranking, lying, stealing!

That's true... Strange weapons are the easiest to guess at, especially for those who wouldn't normally own them, second to items that people talk about on Retrospec itself.

[ He holds up his ring, the band cold despite being handled. ]

This is what I received from Retrospec. It feels important, and private somehow... like something that shouldn't be paraded in front of others.

Were you a farmer in your past life, or...?

[ It's a good thing he's kitten-less at the moment, because curiosity gets the better of him and he's in that corner in a second, picking up the sickle because maybe Karkat means something that looks like a sickle but isn't— yeah, it's a sickle, and that's a sharp blade. ]

You can't just leave this lying around- it should be in storage somewhere!

You could keep it around in a safety deposit box.

[ And never use it, never see it, just pretend it doesn't exist. ]

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-07-18 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Then you open the combination lock of the safety deposit box. It takes less than a minute, and will save you time because you'll know exactly where it is.

Nothing bad's going to happen to necessitate carrying around a sickle 24/7...

[ Ryoji's fairly certain. Anyways, he holds the ring up for Karkat to see— with his eyes, not his hands. ]

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-07-18 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ryoji makes a distressed little noise in his throat at the ring leaving his hands, hand-hovering in place so Karkat can give it right back please ]

Don't put it on.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-07-18 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Bingo? What—

[ Oh. Oh, the stealing square, since they were talking about Retrospec items. If that's the case...

He snatches the ring from Karkat's hands. ]


Then I can just steal this back.

[ He counts as "someone" too?? It works, they've conquered bingo. ]
