all according to plan [ a video feed cuts on, revealing a dark room illuminated by built-in night vision, washing everything in shades of green. the scene is ominous as whoever is controlling the camera slowly approaches a sleeping figure resting on a couch they barely fit. ominous, anyway, until a snicker very much belonging to one dave strider sounds. the prank reveals itself as they look down at the barely full cup of water in their hand. the camera – their eyes – move back to the sleeping karkat. *splash*. karkat is spared a majority of the water by the bundle of blankets hes curled up in. it doesnt stop him from gasping like a mother being awoken suddenly nor does it slow him down as he bolts upright. the second his eyes lock onto dave his angry snarls soften ever so slightly. he wrangles himself out of the blankets with big huffs and puffs while dave cant help laughing. theyre so amused they forget to book it until its too late. karkats grabbing them and hoisting them up high into the air before tossing them into the couch with much more tenderness than specifically required. daves still cracking up as karkat blankets over him, murmuring an “oof” as the weight of the large troll settles on him, and the video feed going dark after his head is delicately locked in a muscular arm. ]
