[sniptuck]

[ NEW MONTH, NEW US. Are you attempting to figure out ways to solve Naoko and Jenn's respective problems? Helping to make the base island nice and fancy? Or any other type of shenanigan that isn't listed above because I don't know your life and am not privy to every single bad idea to come across the crew? Well, it's time to make all of that happen here!

Anyway have fun and use this for threading. Make sure to check out the November OOC post and there is also a CR meme up. THAT'S IT, HAPPY SCORPIO MONTH!!! ]

No problem, troll son.

[ She sounded dry as a desert. ]

[alienates]

You know, it would have been easier on you if you just left me there.

[ he. manages to suppress a yawn. ]

[inject]

And have my reputation destroyed? I couldn't let that happen, could I?

[ They're in the labs. She lets him tumble into one of the cots - which means, she drops him in unceremoniously. ]

Night night.

[alienates]

Ow-- you fucker!

[ honestly he is used to just being tossed onto places at this point since multiple people have discovered the easiest way to get karkat to do something is to just pick him up?? it's sad. ]

It's not like there even is anyone here to revoke your license or anything.

[inject]

Do you want a lullaby?

[ She tugged down her surgical mask to smile her scarred smile at him. As she did so, she reached into her Victoria's Secret Compartment to draw out a syringe (don't ask). ]

[alienates]

Oh man, how did you know? It's like you're psychic or something because that is exactly what I want.

[ he is too preoccupied by being an annoying shit to pay too much attention to what else she is doing. ]

[inject]

I've got so much experience. Now, hold out your arm.

[ She pushed the plunger up. There wasn't anything but water in the syringe and it spurted up with a small squirting noise. The whole point was to tease him - and, all right, be slightly cruel. ]

You'll hardly feel a thing.

[alienates]

[ he immediately scoots further back on the cot. ]

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold the fuck on, and do no let go of on until I say so because [ he points at the syringe ] what is that.

[inject]

Oh, this? It can administer your lullaby, if you keep being fussy.

[ She smiled sweetly. ]

[alienates]

Okay so we have very two different definitions of what a lullaby is. Mine is right and yours is crazy, holy shit. Let's just keep the pointy thing away from me?

[ THAT SMILE IS NOT SWEET ]

[inject]

[ She smirked now, tugging her mask back up and tucking the syringe away. ]

Not afraid of a little needle, are you? Well, there's no reason for me to give you something to help you sleep if you're done being fussy.

[alienates]

I'm not scared, I just don't want to get stabbed again? And that shit was bigger than my damn horns, so it would fall under the category of shit you stab others with.

[ he does go back to where he was originally sitting before he scooted backwards though. ]

[inject]

It's more of an injection. A stab is a little too violent.

[ But she'd had her fun. She cast an interested eye over his horns, but she'd seen Kanaya's before. The brightly coloured keratin wasn't too interesting - and also not as impressive looking as Patty's set had been. ]

Anyway. Just be quiet and you can sleep here as long as you want. Better than being passed out on the floor.

[alienates]

[ don't be rude and compare horns?? ]

I already told you that I'm not even that tired.

[ he says, as he lays down on the cot... yeah he is ready to pass back out again now that he thinks she isn't going to inject him with something weird [

[inject]

Oh, well in that case, you can help me with my work here. It's all about the genetics of bacterium.

[ The sarcasm dripped like honey. ]

[alienates]

[ that sounds.... boring ]

And what exactly is so interesting about the genetics of bacterium?

[inject]

Well for one, they rest when they're tired.

[ GO TO SLEEP, KID. ]

[alienates]

We both know that's not true.

[ but whatever!! he makes a big show of closing his eyes, as if this is such a huge chore that valentine is making him do even though he was literally just sleeping like ten minutes ago. ]

[inject]

[ She decided not to respond and just let him grouse himself back to sleep. ]
