you're howling, abyss-eyed and broken
WHO: vriska and karkat.
WHERE: various places around the city.
WHEN: the 14th, from around 9pm to probably the early hours of the morning.
WARNINGS: language, also angry teenagers breaking windows and setting trash cans on fire and general acts of vandalism and recklessness.
SUMMARY: two grieving teenagers decide to cope with their feelings by acting out.
FORMAT: quicklog.
[ karkat is waiting for vriska at the same place they met up the last time they hung out together, pacing restlessly and occasionally aiming a kick at a nearby fire hydrant. he has a spray can of silver paint in one hand and a spray can of blue in the other.
he quickly wipes at his eyes -- puffy and bloodshot -- with the back of his sleeve when he sees vriska, and his voice is thick and hoarse when he speaks, holding the blue can out to her. ]
Are you ready to make some bad decisions?

again sorry for a really long delay u_u
I can't believe you're asking me of all people if I'm ready for that. Don't you know? I'm simply the best there is at bad decisions.
[She turns to stalk off in a random direction to find something, anything, to take her anger out on. The first victim is an unsuspecting trash can on the sidewalk, toppled and scattering contents.]
it's okay!!
[ he strides ahead while she is busy demolishing a trashcan, and pauses, hovering for a moment, uncertainty plain in his posture and expression. it was easy to proclaim your intention to go on a rebellious rampage, certainly, but actually doing it? karkat finds he has no idea where to start. he shifts the can from one hand to another. he glances back at vriska, before stooping to pick up a rock, testing its weight in his palm, unsure what he should do with it.
he questions whether he made the right decision tonight, and the answer is quickly forthcoming. no, he did not make the right decision. he knew that when he made it. that's the point. kanaya wouldn't have wanted this. and karkat didn't want her to die.
a surge of fresh anger and grief pulses through him, and he pulls the hand holding the rock back, lobbing it through a window with an impressive shattering of glass. he is briefly exhilarated, for one small moment. unfortunately, the dwelling belonging to the window appears to have been inhabited, with the way the lights inside immediately flick on, and muffled shouts of outrage and shock are heard. ]
Oh, no. Oh, shit. [ time to book it. ]
no subject
[She whirls around from her can destruction to duck into a nearby ally, gesturing for him to follow her. Hopefully it's not a shitty dead end that'll get them caught. Though even if it is, she can fly them over the wall, so it's really not a problem. She jostles her paint can, spraying it along the wall as she looks over her shoulder.]
You're really bad at this. [And she's really good at it. She thinks about how Kanaya would nag and fuss and complain at her for doing this, and it just irritates her more at the fact that somehow doesn't exhilarate her like it should. That her first thought isn't that she should have been the one to kill Kanaya but that she didn't want her dead at all, would rather have her here bitching her ear off. She isn't sure what she's frustrated with most. She turns her attention back to Karkat, trying to ignore her feelings.] So, are you second guessing yourself? Wanna abscond back home and hide like a wriggler?
no subject
Shut up! [ he snaps back at her, defensive. it's true, though. he is really bad at this. he's never actually done something like this before; he's out of his element, out of his depth.
he answers her question by striding over to where she is graffiting the wall, shouldering her aside and painting a big grey cancer symbol over the top of whatever it was she was doing. ]
What, you can't handle a few angry humans? Are you second guessing yourself?
no subject
[She was really just spray painting a line as she walked, but when she glances to his graffiti she changes direction to leave a scorpio symbol instead. Absolutely no one will know it was them. They're so incognito.
She stalks further down the alley towards the street, glancing both ways before stepping out. It doesn't look any more deserted than the last street, but it doesn't matter. There are a few houses that look empty that she wouldn't mind trashing to sate her anger.]
no subject
[ he follows her out into the street, glancing over his shoulder back down the alleyway as he does so. he sure hopes they don't end up hearing sirens. he's pretty sure the police have him on record as connected to the wanted serial killer, gamzee makara; he'd rather not be arrested tonight. he has enough shit on his plate. ]
So where next, then, since you're so great at this?
no subject
[She leads the way towards what she thinks it probably a less crowded street, leaving spray paint markings on the sidewalk and mailboxes as she moves along. The next street looks more run down and less inhabited.]
Here.
