[Hours after Gamzee was caught and jailed, Death City's other least favorite grey-skinned asshole returns. apparently Karkat skimmed the network to get an idea of what's been going on. he's moving fast with the Kinshin Chamber vanishing in the background, and he looks... awful. his eyes are too wide. long story short, he's been through some shit

Sollux, you phlegmwhipping sack of monkey leavings! In case you missed it, Gamzee decided to flip all of his shit at the same time and fucking hospitalized a bunch of people!
[a pauses, then his running footsteps slow a bit.]
Why the fuck do I have to go tracking down your moirail? What are YOU doing that's so goddamn important? I mean, I've been gone, I don't know where the fuck to even start!

[ The frustration in his tone is audible, obvious, almost painfully heavy. Things were happening and he couldn't do shit about it. ]
Think I haven't notithced you were gone? Fuck, who you do take me for? Jutht fucking get out there.

[but, okay, if there's anything he does get, it's that feeling of helplessness as the world comes crashing down around your loved ones. he lowers his voice to something more reasonable.]
Jade's fine. I just talked to her. Aradia's probably at the clinic mooning over her sorry stabbed ass. I'll go look, okay? Try not to have a moirail panic aneurysm in the meantime.

[ Still, he can't deny how damn relieved he is to know Karkat's back. His own tone drops down from the rising shout it had been mounting to. It would be okay.
It's just not the same without their leader. ]
Yeah. She would be. Jutht. Tell her to call me, all right? I can't fucking get a hold of her.

[he wants to sound mad, but even if he's ultimately the worst for the job, it's what he's motivated to do. he WANTS to handle everything and be in charge.
he disconnects.]

then he goes to the clinic. he doesn't really have time for visiting and it's late anyway, but he gets a good idea of who got hurt and just how big of a piece of shit he should feel like for causing this.
Jade, surprisingly, is alone. No Aradia. that's weird. he thought they were still in the shiny-eyed baby woofbeast stages of love.
at least he has the sense to hike to Aradia's first, though he went there with the idea that if he found her, he was going to troll her into at least talking to Sollux. calm his paranoia a bit. the idiot's hard enough to deal with, he doesn't need any more panic over missing trolls.
the utterly clean hive confirms the worst.]

Why?

he's silent for a long moment, then feels the need to say something. anything.
his best friend just lost his pale half, after all.]
I... sorry, man. BREW's just about the largest weeping rash on the back end of a hoofbeast sometimes.

[ He hits the video function then, mismatched eyes glowering into the screen over the top of equally mismatched glasses. He hasn't even bothered to encrypt this; too many pressing matters to consider to even give it much thought. ]
Fucking check again, KK. That'th not her fucking hive.

[Karkat's voice chokes off, he sounds dangerously close to... something very unlike him. the view swings wildly as Karkat turns, strides to the door, and films the number on it. then he gets a clear shot of the hall. it's unmistakably her hivestem, and that's her hive.
totally clean.]
THERE, you flagrantly denial-ridden douchebag. Believe me yet?

[ Her number. Her hallway. Her door and her hive and her respiteblock all of it hers he remembers the dimensions of the room and the window at the end of the hallway and just how many doors down it hers is and-- ]
