[ 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. ]

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. ]

[ 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.

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. ]

[ Ryoji grins, slipping the necklace back around his neck and tucking the ring behind the collar for good measure. ]

Are there any others I can help you with? As thanks for letting me take care of Katkat.

[ 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.
