Summary: Romance troubles? Shhhhshoooshhshhshooosh Karkat is here.

Karkat was bored.

After calming down from the reality of being kidnapped, he quickly found that being stuck on a giant, talking spaceship wasn't so different from being trapped in the veil--Stacy was just much, much bigger. There were things to occupy his time, of course. He and the other trolls still needed a hive, after all, and the City was certainly full of enough crap to salvage. Still, for being chosen, or whatever, there was surprisingly little action to be had since his arrival.

Obviously, that meant Karkat was going to make his own entertainment. As dumb as all these humans were, they at least gave him something to do. The best course of action would, naturally, solve many problems at once. Though it was entirely possible to build a sufficient Hive in the City out of all the junk left over from that SHODAN lady or whoever she was, lots of people on the ship meant lots of cool stuff that could potentially contribute to the Hive. Unfortunately, Karkat didn't have much to offer, but as much as he disliked hearing people whine about their problems, solving romantic issues was undoubtedly something he was good at. Perhaps offering that in exchange for cool stuff could not only benefit him, but act as a viable method to cure boredom.

So here he was, positioned outside the mess hall with a sign--one that said "ADVICE: ROMANTIC OR OTHERWISE" in big, bold letters. He was so totally serious about this.

This was a good plan.

Veronica pauses at the stand, giving it a rather curious look, then gave Karkat an even more curious look. "Kind of an odd place to do romance advice, isn't it?"

At her side, Rex perked up upon seeing Karkat, and barked twice, walking around the stand to sniff at the troll a bit - now that all that icky goop is gone, he can get a scent to match to the horned fellow. And maybe he'll be in a better mood this time.

He recognizes the weird robot barkbeast, of course, and therefore isn't so surprised by it. Still, Karkat shies away from Rex's advance, instead choosing to focus his attention on the human that accompanies the animal.

"This is a high-traffic area. Nobody's going to fucking miss this sign."

It's a great sign.

Okay, maybe not. Ah well, Rex don't mind. He'll just park his butt on Karkat's side of the stand, swishing his tail a bit while he watches the troll.

"Got a point there," Veronica comments, then glances about the hall before folding her arms. "So what makes you qualified to give romantic advice? I would hope you're a little more sharp than that Volanz guy if you're advising people on their relationships."

"Trust me," he quipped, waving a hand in the air dismissively, "If you had to put up with the dozen chucklefucks I did, you'd be qualified too."

Team Adorabloodthirsty was apparently a bunch of chucklefucks.

The term used gets a quirked brow and a half-chuckle.

"If you say so. I've got a hell of a doozy for you, then, if you're up for a challenge."
