*BEEEEEP*
Make sure you have the right number, before you say anything.
If this is the number you meant to call, you've reached me, but I'm not picking up right now.
Tell me who you are and leave your number. I won't waste my time calling back if you forgot to leave one or the other.

Hey, fuckface. I have something for you.

calling back two minutes later

[shadowdive]

You couldn't just tell me when I came back to the house?

heee

[usedshooshpap]

Nope. It'd be too fucking late for that.

|D

[shadowdive]

Ugh. Fine, what is it? [Sound of walking on his end.. he was at the mart damnit, just getting some supplies ready for whenever it was time to leave this town.]

/kissy faces?

[usedshooshpap]

You won't find out until you get here, dipshit. That's the whole point of a surprise.

/smoochiesmoochie!

[shadowdive]

I'm almost there, it's not going to be a surprise for much longer. [... Actually, he's kind of excited to see what it is. Door to house is opening now.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ right there should be Karkat's newly hatched Purrloin. there's a red ribbon tied around HER and everything. ]

[shadowdive]

[Blinking down at the cat Pokemon, Vani pauses a little as he just.. looks at it. Crouching after a moment and lifting his hand out to the kitty, he waits for her to get used to his smell.]

You wanted to show me this? [...He doesn't know what the ribbon tied around it means; not yet anyway.]

[usedshooshpap]

Wow you're a dumbfuck. Way to read the tag.

[ because there is definitely one on there. it says

To: Vanitas

Thanks, grubfucker. Enjoy the purrbeast. ]

[shadowdive]

[Looking closer and finding the tag after a minute, Vani can't help a mildly awed expression, before trying to clamp it down and not show just how nice he feels from getting a gift like this. Clearing his throat and carefully scooping up the Pokemon, who climbs up and perches on his shoulder, Vanitas stands again.]

.. I don't know what you're thanking me for, but yeah. I like it already. [Especially with Nitas purring and rubbing her face on the side of his.]

[usedshooshpap]

Swimming, stupid.

Her name is Nitas, by the way. I thought it was fucking perfect.

[shadowdive]

[His mouth cracks into a smile anyway, but he snorts on hearing the name; it doesn't stop him from reaching up to lightly pet the cat.] You named her after me? [He caught that much.]

[usedshooshpap]

Yeah so?

[shadowdive]

... I like it. [Clearing his throat again, gonna try and stop feeling so happy his face wants to smile like a goof.] Though, weirdo, naming something after me.

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat just shrugs. he's kind of smirking. ]

Would you want that I name it after your other half?

[shadowdive]

No. [Narrows his eyes, but he's going to wind up smiling anyway.]

[usedshooshpap]

People name their beasts after others all the time. It's not weird, you weirdo.

[shadowdive]

I've never named mine after someone I knew. [Giving a light punch in the shoulder, Nitas takes the opportunity to run across her new trainers arm to smoosh and rub herself against Karkat's face. Hatch-daddy gets love too!]
