[hey look, it's an almost unheard-of public post from Karkat. a video, even! he's not posting from his hive; it looks like he's on the move in the city. for the new guests, he looks to be about 13 like the rest of the funny grey-skinned weirdoes you've seen posting on the network.
he also looks irritated. this is not unusual for him.]
God dammit, I hate to have to do this. All right, Death City, listen up! Some of you may know one of the other trolls here, Kanaya Maryam. For those of you who don't, she's got a crooked horn and a jade-green insignia, like...
[he traces the vaguely M-shaped symbol for Virgo in the air from memory.]
...that.
[he scowls, not wanting to continue, but he makes himself do it. this has gone on long enough.]
I'm... I've been trying to find her. She left sometime yesterday, and she hasn't been answering my messages or talking to her other friends here. And believe me, Kanaya not meddling with shit is weird. And before you even ask, no, BREW didn't take her. I checked her hive and all her shit's still there. I'm just...
[angryface]
If you see her, tell her we need to fucking talk. Like, YESTERDAY.
[he reaches to disconnect, then freezes.]
Hell, I almost forgot. Roy said to make some kind of announcement about the Watch, so yeah. [rattling this off without much interest] My partner Selendis and I are zone leaders for Financial and Services, so if shit goes down over there, we're the ones you call. But whatever, the important thing right now is, we need to find Kanaya.
[disconnect!]
[BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Private, to Kurt]
I did that on the assumption you haven't heard from her either. If it turns out you knew where she was this whole time, fuck you so much in advance. I'm serious. Just a scintillating fist-shaped ball of fuck you the size of the goddamn city, all for you!
[annnd disconnect for reals this time!]
