[ACTION FOR ECRUTEAK:]

[The great (???) thing about the ghost currently haunting Dave is that, for the most part, it stays out of sight, meaning that with everyone else distracted by their own phantasms, Dave managed to spend the whole day yesterday blatantly not acknowledging it, only twitching at its constant presence at the edge of his awareness. But after no sleep the entire night--negative sleep, probably, it's possible he will never sleep again, fuck every molecule of his being--he's just grabbed some foodstuffs, marched into the inn room closet, and settled in with his eyes shut, hugging the cereal boxes to his chest.

At least he can pretend Bro's not there, in the dark.]

[He can't tell if the offer or the protectiveness is more surprising—if he's even reading her stance right, that is. He might not be. Why the hell would Penny be protective of him, anyway? He's a raging douchebag.]

Yeah, no, I'll pass.

[It's an easy dismissal, if a not entirely sincere one. Karkat probably should talk about to someone, but dumping this shit on Penny, of all people, can't be a good idea. She has her own ghost to deal with.

He frowns and shifts his weight a little, not quite making eye contact. See? Totally sincere here.]


Uh, unless you do—about your ghost, whoever the fuck they are. It might be easier to talk to someone who wasn't involved? In whatever the hell went down with them.

[........... Yes, because that's completely different from his own feelings on the subject of ghosts and you know what this is stupid. Please point out the hypocrisy, Penny, you're our only hope.]
