Deductions

WHO: Karkat Vantas and Murdoc Donoghue
TONE: Two grumpy characters, what do you think.
RATING: PG-13 for Karkat's potty mouth
WHEN: backdated to Thursday 24th Mayish?? Whenever Karkat isn't with Gamzee
WHERE: Murdoc's office
WHAT: Murdoc gets called on his bullshit and deducts points for it.
STATUS: ongoing

Murdoc had tossed his journal across the room before Vantas could reply to his last comment. He was far too frustrated to deal bother with writing out more snide remarks. His hand is tired from the snappy responses at Strider and his head hurts. He rests it on the desk, not imagining that the boy would accept his invitation to debate house points. He lets out a long suffering sigh and begins to bump his head lightly against the desk. God have mercy on whoever interrupts his routine of frustration.

Karkat hadn't been looking forward to dealing with Professor Donoghue. Calling a teacher out on their own bullshit was one thing, actually being confronted about it was another. But it was either this or deal with it later, and he wasn't going to let the older man bully him into accepting the deducted house points. Eridan was one of his friends, but father to him or not, Murdoc was acting no less like his son.

With a small sigh, he rearranged the pajamas in his hands, having decided to stop by before going to the Slytherin dorms for Gamzee, raising one to rap it against the door. "Professor?"

Without waiting for much more word, Karkat stepped into the professor's office, tucking his pajamas into his book bag as he did so. He pursed his lips together, setting his face into the perpetual frown it always was, placing a hand on his hip as his other rested on top of his satchel.

"I'll start off by saying that I'm not backing down from what I said on the journals. Acting like a child when you're an adult is not going to get things to go your way, professor, and deducting house points is not going to work in your favor either." Karkat gave a small sigh, staying calm which was a bit of a surprise when you considered his usual temper. "I was attempting to diffuse the situation at hand. I hardly think that warrants point deduction."
selfhatred: (whatever)

Karkat had a lot of practice in controlling his temper, and while a lot of the time it didn't work very well, this time he found that it was quite easy. Maybe because he didn't actually have anything to get mad about. He knows the signs though, which is why he's regarding Professor Donoghue carefully.

"Professor Matteris insulted two of my friends and riled one of them up to the point where I am on my way to calm him down and talk him out of going to her office and ripping out her throat. You chose to take a stab at my personal feelings in regards to Strider Junior and tried to pick on me. The both of you are walking on thin ice before I decide it's time to take your behavior to Professor Dumbledore."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "It's unbecoming of professors of your statuses to pick a fight with students just because things don't go your way and personal feelings get involved."

"My friends will react how they react, but it takes one person to start everything." Karkat crossed his arms, using one hand to elaborate his words. He didn't comment on the way the professor raised his voice just yet, that would come later. "Gamzee has certain buttons that make him flip when they're pushed, harming one of his friends physically or otherwise is one of them. I'm on my way to calm him down."

He tucked his hand away into his arm. "Like I assume your buttons have been pushed, Professor. It's not fun, is it? Imagine that anger you're holding in five times more and that's what Gamzee is feeling right now. A lot of feelings were hurt tonight, and I hardly believe anybody was acting like the adult they are supposed to be. That's why I took control of the situation."

He shifted on his spot before nodding in acknowledgement and turning to leave. "My offer to lend an ear still stands, but for now I have to attend to my best friend. Good evening, Professor."
