Chapter Text
Karkat Vantas was the definition of unlucky. Not only has he just gotten out of a shitty relationship, he was now left with nowhere to go. Things just kept getting worse and worse for him and it doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.
Now, he was sitting in a ran-down diner, eating a slightly stale muffin, and searching through ads for a place to stay.
Be the nubby horned troll===>
'Roommate wanted: $500/month, Music Student in college, DJ, Must be cool.' Yeah, no. This guy is probably loud and annoying.
'Roommate needed: $350/month, Video game Designer, Friendly atmosphere-' Nope. Seems too nerdy and clingy
'Roommate needed: $250/month. Quiet atmosphere, pets welcome,' Doesn't seem too bad, and it's pretty cheap.
There was one more that really caught my eye, whoever wrote it must've payed out of the ass for this one; it was a carnivalesque themed advertisement, written in an odd way, yeah, we're not even going to bother looking at that one.
The third one sounded like the best option so I picked up my phone and dialed the number.
The phone rang twice before a voice answered;
"Hello?"
"I'm calling about the apartment.."
"Oh wwell then this is your potential roommate speaking."
"What?-" the way he said well was sort of weird and I don't want to seem rude, this is the first time we've spoken, I've gotta make a good impression, I can't mess this up, I really need a place to stay. "Uhm, never mind so yeah, can I come check the place out later?"
"Sure, come over wwhenever you wwanna"
Okay, is he doing that on purpose or what? It's really weird. Whatever
"Alright fine, I'll be there in a little while to check it out, bye"
I barely gave him time to take in what I had said before I hung up, smooth Karkat, real smooth.
