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.

Comments

Murdoc is pretending to be calm. Under the judgemental stare and the perfect line his mouth is a terrible temper brewing. His eyebrow is twitching ever so slightly as Karkat speaks.

"As I recall, your friends insulted her right back." He narrows his eyes. "If a student is so unstable, they do not deserve to study among rational students. So what if she insulted them? Is violence any way to solve that? It's not as if she was personal--" His voice is starting to raise and the stoic facade is cracking. "It's not as if she used deceased family members as an attack!"

He shouted that last line at Karkat. The raised voice seems to have brought him back to life a bit. He's so angry that he's shaking and he's half stood up out of his chair to yell at him. He sinks back down. "Noted. However, the points will remain deducted. Next time, do not interfere with the workings of adults."

"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."
