 [Suddenly--colors! The feed's coming from Terezi's watch, although she doesn't realize it's on at this point. She's joined by John and they are both sitting on the floor in Karkat's hive with two pairs of clothing and a mess of different colored paint.]

[The feed is dark, all you can see are two bright yellow eyes, pupils large, dilated, grey irises almost fading into nothing.]

I see you have a new s-sidekick, uhhh, Pyrope. How uhhh, how very quaint. [Villain voices are haaaard.]

Not that he'll be of any use, pertaining to our situation? He's b-but a meat shield in our ongoing m-maelstrom of um, um... [Pause.]

Strife.

Nitram. What a suprise to hear from your after your attempt at holding a hostage went so terribly terribly wrong for you. I did not think you had the courage to try again!

Do not let John's appearance fool you. He is much more fearsome then he looks!

Pleeeeaaase, Pyrope, I said I'd help the force now d-didn't I [The glimmer of fangs can be seen as he smiles.]

...um, Tavros?

Don't tell me you've gone to the dark side!

[l1br4tor]

That is true. But I still cannot trust you Nitram. You have not proven yourself to me yet.

Poor John, to think I was n-never, not a part of the 'dark side'. But I think you're m-mixing up, uhhh, what is truly right, and what is truly, errr, wrong. Irregardless! [Come on John, play along!]

Yes, well, we shall see, won't we m-my perceptive friend. And p-perhaps I too will take someone under my uhh, metaphorical wing. [Cackle.] Though I don't want to make anything t-too, uhhh, difficult for you. I know you already have your hands full, with just me gallivanting about this city.

[So. So confused.

But.

With all his experience fake-flirting with Dave? He could do this.] I guess you had me fooled pretty well, Tavros! But never again. I am on to you and your nefarious schemes, now.

Are we going to hunt down this ruffian, Terezi? I bet you could sniff out his stench in a second, hehe.
