"Dave, calm down. Maybe they will when you calm down."

He snorted. "Maybe if the little skank didn't say anything..."

"Dave don't insult either of them. That won't help..." John pulled a chair up beside Dave.

He was grinding his teeth together, twitching with anger.

"Dave, do I need to get them to give you anything to calm you down?"

"I'm fine...." He snapped. He'd become much more angry after the game had ended, and he sometimes became enraged when he used to be pretty chill

"Dave, I know the game changed you... But, you really aren't you anymore...."

"Yeah? Well who wouldn't it change? Hm? Watching people die constantly and all the confusing shit."

"I know Dave... I still have nightmares, but I get through it..."

"Don't give ne that Egbert. You know what it's like to see your own body bleeding out?"

"No... I don't...." He said softly. "We all saw some pretty bad things Dave..." John looked down and twisted the string that was tied around his wrist before looking back up.

Dave stayed quiet as well, looking at John.

Gamzee schuffled his way into Karkat's room, honking softly. "Karkat..." He was in a hospital gown, hair hanging over his eyes.

"Sorry for even bringing it up, bro..."

Karkat looked over from his bed. "Gamzee...?"

Dave turned up his morphine, huffing.

The Capricorn climbed silently onto Karkat's bed, then honked. He lightly scraped his nails across Karkat's arm, hair still covering his eyes.

"I... guess I'll see you later....?"

Karkat took Gamzee's hand. "What are you doing Gamzee?"

Dave grunted, turning away.

He didn't answer, but rather pulled the nails of his other hand across Karkat's cheek, drawing a clowny smily face that bleed.

John sighed and left the room.

Karkat grabbed the other hand. "Stop that Gamzee...."

The troll looked down where his hands were being grasped before biting down on Karkat's wrist, lapping up the blood with a hmm.

Karkat winced "Gamzee... I'll call a doctor if you don't stop" He, sadly, was considering it too.

Purple eyes stared at Karkat animalisticaly. He took the button that could call the nurse and set it far away from Karkat before taking a bit into his shoulder, sharp teeth breaking skin.

He gasped out loud and wrenched Gamzee off him and stood to get the button.

The troll hissed and flung himself on top of Karkat, grabbing the button and keeping it away from the other. "No." He growled.

He shoved him off. "Gamzee! Calm down!" He grabs your arms from behing.

Gamzee howled and tried to get out of the grasp, jerking around.

"Shush or they'll come back!"
