[Kanaya is just passin through a doorway when she nearly walks into Karkat, as her attention is turned up towards the mistletoe hanging there. Were the kissing plants in every space in this building? She was starting to think they were terrible. She's coming back from the bathroom, having spent more time than she was prepared to concede washing horrible clown paint off her lips, and she's honestly relieved to see Karkat there, giving him a bit of a smile.]

Karkat! Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.

[papshooshing]

[ yeah, yeah they are just about everywhere and Karkat is going nuts internally. KISSING ISN'T REALLY HIGH ON HIS LIST OF 'THINGS I WANT TO DO.'

but it's not so bad running into Kanaya. ]

You distracted or something?

[wontturntostone]

Ah, yes. I-[She hesitates, and then shakes her head. No sense worrying him.] It doesn't matter. Are you enjoying the party?

[usedshooshpap]

[ squinting! but not really going to press the matter. ]

As much as I can, I guess.

[wontturntostone]

[A little nod. About the best answer she could really expect from him, probably.] It's fascinating meeting everyone, and the humans from the other universe...

[But her smile turns a bit sour.] Although the building is something of an obstacle course, isn't it. [Indicating the mistletoe above them.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ there are other things on his mind as well... but that's neither here nor there. ] I really don't care about them. Or any of our ancestors slash decedents.

[ but that's just Karkat. 8T he looks up and just shrugs. being caught under it with Kanaya isn't really all that bad. he's kissed her corpse, man. ]

I was trying to find them all earlier, but that didn't really work out, huh?

[wontturntostone]

[Kanaya hesitates.] They are very nice, Karkat. [A beat.] Our ancestors are not here, are they?

[Remembering how flustered she got around Porrim, well...]

I believe some of the pokemon are moving the mistletoe around when we are not watching. I saw a bird carrying some from one room to another earlier.]

[papshooshing]

Does it look like I care if they're nice or not? I have good friends that I miss, thanks.

[ he just shakes his head. there are no ancestors here. Kanaya has nothing to worry about.

instead Karkat returns to the case of the moving mistletoe. ]

Oh they are. Given John's infatuation with ghost-types, is there really any doubt that there are some here that would do that?

[wontturntostone]

That doesn't prevent you from making additional friends, Karkat. There isn't actually an upper limit on those.

[Such a crabby crab.]

I didn't know there were a lot of ghost types around. [She is never going to be used to this.]

[papshooshing]

I am a fucking social Butterfree, thank you very much Kanaya.

ANYWAY. Yes. There are plenty of ghost types available to those that would like to collect them. Most are pranksters.

[wontturntostone]

Why do I find that so hard to believe?

[She nods.]

One of yours is a ghost, I believe?

[Talking about ghosts like it's perfectly normal. Oy.]

[papshooshing]

You didn't see my gift list.

[ it's pretty long, given that this is Karkat. and huh... Karkat has one ghost type... ]

Nicole and David are my only two, I think.

[wontturntostone]

No, I suppose not. Oh! [She smiles brightly, talk of pokemon forgotten.] Thank you for that dress, Karkat, it's lovely.

[papshooshing]

Oh...

I didn't know if you'd really like it or not. When I was shopping I saw it and just figured. You know?

[wontturntostone]

I do, really. [She nods her head faintly as she speaks.] I may make a few small alterations, I haven't quite decided yet, but overall it is very nice. I was thinking of wearing it, though I'm rather glad I didn't at this point.

[usedshooshpap]

It is a little cold out for that sort of dress. Given how hot it gets in the summer though, you might thank me then.

[wontturntostone]

We shall see. I'm sure I'll find some reason to wear it between now and then. It would be a shame to leave it for a long time.

[usedshooshpap]

Could wear it on New Years Eve.

[wontturntostone]

...Is there another party then?

[papshooshing]

Not a grand one. Not like this.

[wontturntostone]

But an occasion for dresses.

[papshooshing]

Some dress up for parties, yeah.

[wontturntostone]

[She can't help but smile.]

I look forward to it then.
