2nd person

You woke up on a rough carpeted floor with a light blanket covering your body. Wondering how you got here, you direct your gaze to the rest of the room. There are grey boxes everywhere- looks like someone is moving in. You sit up causing the warm blanket to fall off of your torso. you look around the room. It is filled with boxes and has a small TV in the corner plugged into a game device of sorts. You feel your phone stabbing you from your jean pocket along with your passport. You take them out and place them next to you on the floor.

"so you've finally woken up" you hear a voice from behind you. You turn to see a... grey person?

"uh.. yeah?" you stare at the grey person and notice little, orange-ish lumps protruding from his head. Your confusion must have been obvious because the grey person continued.

"you don't have to stare at me like I'm a fucking dead fish." he comes and sits cross-legged on the floor next to you. "I take it you've never seen a troll before."

"is that what you are?" you ask

"yes"

"then no." you scan the walls for any hints for where you are. "where am I?"

He rolls his eyes, "My hive- or house as you humans call it." you look around again and turn bac to grey person

"and what is your name?" you ask

"Karkat Vantas" He stood up "so I guess your wondering 'Why the fuck would someone just bring a random ass human girl into their house after finding them in the fucking pouring rain?'" he paused and looked confused on what to say "well I don't know, Nepeta was just having a fucking stroll which is the best plan in the middle of a storm and found you. She just appeared on my doorstep and placed your soaking ass in my lounge then fucking left." He face palmed "that stupid kindness of hers is going to get her killed someday" You zoned out as he rambled on about this 'Nepeta'. Soon Karkat was waving his hand in your face. "Anyone in there?"

"oh- yeah sorry." you looked down at your lap "I'm just a bit daunted with all of this knowledge which is just being shoved onto me" you looked up at him again, at least you think it was a him. "you are a male right?"

"No I'm a fucking squirrel." He huffed "yes, I am a male. Now random human, what is your name and - I guess gender?"

"I'm (y/n) (l/n) and I am a Female" you said awkwardly.

"well, (y/n) ,would you like a drink? fuck I don't know, I haven't had a human guest before." His face reddened slightly and he looked anywhere but your face.

"a drink sounds good" you say standing up. You notice that he is like, maybe three inches taller than you.

"I only have water" he says and walks toward a door that you assume goes to the kitchen

"that's ok- I wanted water anyway" You followed him into a barren kitchen. He grabs a glass from a box and fills up the glass.

"we need to talk about you being here." he says as he passes the water

"thank you. and yeah we do." you lean against the counter and take a sip of the water. "so do you trolls know much about human geography?"

"I did a lot of fucking research on human shit so I know a bit." he looks up like he is trying to remember something. "We are in.... Anerita?"

"America?"

"Yeah" he fiddles with his fingers "in.... Texas! that's the one"

"TEXAS?" you yell

"Woah, calm the fuck down. yes Texas, why is that bad?" His show a hint of genuinely caring

"I was meant to go to my parents house in the north of Canada!" your voice wavers with worry as you run a hand through your (h/l) (h/c) hair. "What am I going to do?"

"You could stay with me if you want, until you get your fucking brain in order." He looks at the floor

"thank you so much Karkat." you say "I would love to chat more but I gotta contact my parents" you return to the previous room where you left your phone and immediately turn it on.

or not

Shit, its dead.
