[ karkat is pretty sure the answer for that is no? there are enough grocery store scenes in movies for him to have the general idea that humans usually go shopping for food instead of going out and killing wildlife. so. ]
In the middle of the city? Nope. I just kind of stockpiled things in my closet. Occasionally I got my hands on cash for grocery shopping. Bro used to give me shit when I wasn't old enough to walk, though.
[ but yeah it was hard to find food in that house. puppets and weapons, though, those were just anywhere for the taking if you, like, wanted those.
This was definitely not me making out with your neck and I'm offended by the implication.
[ so instead of actually. agreeing. that would be a stupid course of action, he will actually actively tilt his head closer so he can kiss karkat's neck. there is a difference between talking into the neck/shoulder area and actively trying to fluster his boyfriend and honestly karkat should know better?
also he's a dick so he bites down lightly. dave does not have high hopes he can distract karkat from the issue at hand forever, but he's pretty sure he can get himself scolded and/or at least make karkat hit critical flustered levels in a minute or less. ]
[ he definitely should have seen this coming and has no one to blame but himself tbh. ]
Oh my god. Okay that's a thing. That you are doing right now. Dave. Dave? What the fuck.
[ ok yea there is definitely a difference between kissing someone's neck and just talking against it and karkat is unfortunately witnessing that difference. his face is so red right now, thank god they are alone?? ]
The thing I am doing is making out with your neck, and also science. Do you think dreamscape hickeys become irl hickeys? I somehow doubt anyone else has tested it yet and this is a very important topic that needs my undivided attention I've decided. Just now.
[ though his attention is divided by rambling. but whatever what else is new!! ]
Anyway I'm volunteering you for participation in this mission. Too late to back out now.
[ he's kind of laughing as he talks but he's still not. moving away? he'll go back to the neck kissing thing inbetween the just rambling about nonsense thing which is...pretty par for the course, actually. ]
You are such a fucking asshole, that's not even how this place-- ah, works. I think?
[ he assumes??? honestly he has no clue it's kind of hard to focus on anything that is not dave being a dick. he is like... 70% sure this won't give him a real life hickey.
granted even though he's complaining he isn't actually... moving out of the way... ]
also just because dave gave up on talking doesn't mean karkat has. ]
Okay. Okay okay you are still doing that. Shit, Dave, science experiment over. You won the science contest or. Whatever. And got the big science medal prize, I know this reference annnnnd fuck.
[ okay no, this has to stop. karkat is going to attempt to pry dave off of him so he can actually properly kiss him instead? can that be a thing? ]
[ no it's the best experiment ever but yeah dave will actually let karkat shift him moooooostly because he starts laughing too hard to put up a fight. ]
A big science medal prize? That's - [ honestly he's not sure where he was gonna go with that except to question karkat's knowing the reference he was attempting to make and/or somewhere stupid so you know what kissing is okay.
he will not bother trying to figure out what was sure to be a truly killer comeback (no) in favor of kissing karkat back.
there's absolutely no way he's going to be able to maintain his memory scene through this though so rip texas rooftop. ]
[ it's ok they didn't really need it anymore anyway? dave's point more or less got across, although karkat may go to rose later again anyway just to be sure that he actually understood the important parts. he figures that would be better than asking dave for further clarification lmao.
also see, kissing is much better than hickeys unless karkat is the one making the hickeys? cause in that case, the hickeys take priority. but unfortunately, karkat also is terrible at shutting up because this only lasts a moment before he has to pull slightly away. ]
There is a big science medal prize right? I know that is a thing, you just implied that it isn't with that tone of voice.
Theeeeeee Nobel prize? Sort of. Dude do we really have to figure this out right now, because if you want the history of the Nobel prize I am fully ready to school your ass.
[ don't make him pause kissing to actually lecture karkat on human stuff
I'm not even convinced that is even the name of it? That sounds very fake, Dave. What the fuck kind of prize is called Nobel? I wasn't hatched yesterday, asshole.
[ also.... don't pause? in fact, they are both talking too much right now. just let him kiss you, dave? with less talking??? ]

Eight or so? So...a little nearer four sweeps than three?
[ he automatically tries to do the conversion, and he actually knows the exact equivalent of eight human years but doesn't...bother to give it... ]

You said the fridge was filled with weapons?
[ trolls always had to feed themselves and their lusii, at but least the lusus didn't leave weapons lying around where food would normally go? ]

How many people know? Besides Rose and Dirk.

[ haha dave telling people shit, good joke, karkat. ]
no subject
Well, that's three more people than I would expect from you, so that's something.
no subject
[ and beforehand
like
everyone noticed that right ]
And I needed Rose's help to - yeah. [ fix that. ] And...I wanted you to know.

Dirk's heart shit means he's always got a dream self active? And I really don't want him to see anything I accidentally dream up. Specifically Bro.

[ karkat just points at himself. ]
... wait, I'm not sure if you saw that since you're busy making out with my neck, but I just gestured at me.

[ is. what dave is getting from this.
he abandons talking for once in his life in favor of the hickey experiment. if karkat actually minded he would be yelling more? ]
