Alas, no one jumps out of the shadows to claim their fucking alien. Whoever this Add person is, they don't seem to be around... not that Karte seems to be too concerned about it. Maybe they ran away from their cruel and uncaring master, huh? What do you know about the struggles of an alien robot dragon???
They vibe contentedly in his hold for awhile as he looks around... until they suddenly go rigid. Head raised, a sharp and distinctly threatening hiss. It whips its tail back up at his arm, trying to coil.]
no subject
When Karte suddenly goes still in his grip, Till goes still too. He doesn't know what Karte going still and hissing like that means, but it can't be anything good.]
What!? What is it now-??
no subject
... nothing is really happening, but. whatever is in(?) the bush rustles, and Karte starts squirming hard. Unhand them, human!!]
no subject
Anyway, yeah, Till will just release Karte at this point.]
no subject
The two bodies collide halfway into a knot of angry hissing. Unfortunately for the snake, Karte is made mostly of metal and space rocks and thus lacks the proper skin and circulatory system to get poisoned with. It also has a taser built into its entire tail, so. There's a lot of loud pops and sparks going on down there before the snake stops fighting back.
Karte bites at its neck toothlessly like a cat playing with a mouse.]
no subject
Till carefully walks back over once he's sure the snake has stopped moving, watching the way Karte plays with it's corpse. Lovely.]
Damn, you're ruthless. Glad that's not my face.
cw: ????? dead snakes ??????
... and then! It flies back up! To give him the cool thing it found (the snake)!!! And also climb onto his shoulder, so he can take the cool thing!!!! It is Gift!!!!!]
im SOBBING
As Karte scrambles up onto his shoulder again like a dragon-shaped cat, Till- what else- scruffs it again and holds it up in front of his face.]
No! No. Spit that out-!
[He gives Karte a little jiggle. Spit it out!! If that snake wakes up and bites him in the face he is going to kick whoever's ass this thing belongs to he swears to GOD-]
no subject
They hang there looking sad for awhile longer... maybe he will change his mind... but no, Till doesn't like their very cool and thoughtful gift. Rejected. They drop it on the ground where it spasms some more in its death throes, please try to keep your grippers out of the danger zone.]
no subject
Anyway, he's quickly going to step back away from the snake and move in a different direction, huffing as he readjusts his grip on Karte.
...
He does fee a little bad, given the way its just hanging from his hand like a sad, wet bug. After a moment of consideration, he'll plop Karte on his shoulder.]
Stay. I'm gonna find your owner. Don't fly off, got it?
no subject
They can stay! Till is their New Friend, so they're not going anywhere! They hiss into his ear so he knows this fact.]
no subject
points, hey that's mine]
no subject
Anyway, Add is currently passed out under Ain, so he's gonna be searching for awhile before literally anyone is available to point and say they that's mine. Congrats on your new alien friend!]
SOBS
Till searches...for a while, but since it's probably(?) unlikely that anyone other than Ain would recognize this thing, and both Ain AND Add are elsewhere currently, meaning that Till is just Karte's unwilling babysitter for the day. He is, admittedly, very tempted to just throw it into the woods and then go inside before it can follow him, but that's cruel even for Till. Plus, Karte kindof saved his ass from one of those snakes, so like...
God. Goddddddd.
He has to just give up after a while, throwing up his arms as he heads for the Inn.]
Whatever, fuck it- I guess I have an alien now! If anybody wants to come get this from me be my guest!!
[He just kindof shouts into the empty Grove as he goes inside.]
no subject
So yeah, they're just gonna chill with him for the day. If he tries to boss them around he may be surprised to learn they are actually quite good at fetch... Karte can fetch many useful things. Tools, food, extremely specific requests... also good at flying in circles really really fast. Also also good at charging electronics.
If he allows it they will attempt at some point to sleep around his neck like a metal boa that gives you static shocks (Add thinks it's comforting, sorry, hope you enjoy the electrotherapy).]
no subject
What a weird fucking thing. He will at least use Karte (once he figures out it can do this) to get things from the Inn without him having to leave and be around people, which is nice. He'll also sit against the wall and watch Karte spin in the middle of his room like "what is wrong with you".
...also fine he guesses you can sleep on him. You saved him from the snakes so this is Till giving back a little, just don't get used to it.]
