When the drill is done and Karkat has regained control of his movements again, he groans and turns... and freezes in place.

No. Fuck no. Of all the frothing jackasses he could run into, why did it have to be this one?

Karkat has half a mind to just nope right off the ship. It would probably be significantly more tolerable than having a single conversation with this pretentious idiot.

Instead, he just says, “ERIDAN I CAN FUCKING SEE YOU OVER THERE.”
