[ somehow, karkat understands some of that, but. woofer cones sounds completely fake, and karkat does not believe that can be an actual thing that exists? which is kind of hypocritical since this is the guy who calls a bathtub an ablution trap.

he really isn't that interested, but karkat is also sort of in the same boat as dirk with the whole "i have a very specific reason for wanting to hang out with him more" thing. maybe he might end up enjoying this? or if he doesn't, he'd probably just continue to try it out of spite directed at no one in particular. ]

I won't be interrupting your Strider bonding festivities? I am pretty sure my presence will make this whole ordeal a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved, but I don't want to get in the way of whatever it is the two of you get up to. Polishing your shades as you build waffle canes?

[ it was waffle cones. ]
