[the feed cuts in when the phone hits the floor; someone can be heard to swear very loudly, and on screen can be seen the goggle-eyed face of the crabbie sandbox and some gray walls

[Hey wait a second. That sure as hell sounds like tinier Karkat but it really doesn't look like him. Shenanigans? Weird alternates? Considering he IS a weird alternate, himself that actually sounds about right.]
video; always so eloquent Karkat.pupadidntflyOctober 7 2011, 03:10:18 UTC
[ This- this is-
cannot even be possible- and he's currently a little more afraid to venture out into the hive to find out about this than he is willing to do so, SO. 8I
[ oh god that's Karkat WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LEADER ]
U- uh, well, you're. [ not a troll ffffuuuuuu ] In a city, called Truth or Consequences, uhh, on Earth. Where a lot of us got taken to, from where we were before. Which you usually remember, pretty clearly, you know.
If you're actually you, I mean, and not some kind of, different version of you, who just got here? Because that's a thing that happens, sometimes.
[Karkat briefly covers his eyes with his hand, and then drags it down his face in exaggerated exasperation.]
Okay. Let me get this straight. We're in a town with a completely fucking ridiculous name - on Earth, thanks for being specific about that - and there's different versions of everyone, like for example you, who's apparently an alternate version of Tavros where you're a space alien. Have I got that right.
[Meanwhile, Sollux wakes up in a filing cabinet full of maple syrup and plant gel and not nearly enough room to move. AND HE HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON.]
[He's wearing his Hive Mind costume, and the last thing he recalls is patrolling, but now he's apparently been taken prisoner or something? And covered in slime? When did that happened? Where is this? What the hell?]
[He shoves against the walls in a panic. The whole thing shakes, but doesn't let him out.]
[Holy fuck he is way too big for what appears to be a metal box full of shit and OH MY GOD WHAT THE SHIT IS EVEN HAPPENING HOLY FUCK.]
[His first reaction, quite reasonably, is to flip his shit and start yelling.]
AUGH LET ME OUT YOU ASSHOLES I'LL KICK YOUR FUCKING ASSES I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD! I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THIS!
[Or something like that.]
[OH GOD NONE OF HIS FIVE THOUSAND UNECESSARILY DIVERSE SUPER POWERS APPLY TO THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION, HELP.]
[Karkat has ventured out of the room he woke up in and into the hallway when the yelling starts; he kind of jumps but realizes after a moment or two that that's some familiar yelling]
[he pushes the door open to find ... that his teammate is apparently trapped in a filing cabinet.]
[captain cabinets trapped in cabinets will he get out can he get out course he will]
... Hive Mind? [Karkat sort of knocks on the side of the cabinet.] Are you stuck in a filing cabinet. Please tell me this is some kind of overelaborate prank and my life has not actually become one that involves running a team of superheroes who get stuck inside filing cabinets.
[Sollux stops thrashing around very suddenly when he hears Karkat's voice, his antenna twitching around uselessly in the limited space as they try to amplify the sound for him and fail. He presses himself up against the wall the sound is ostensibly coming from.]
...KK? KK, holy shit, this thing is filled with mucus or something get me out of here!
[Just desperate enough to ignore the implied insult to his intelligence. Or at least what he assumes is an insult to his intelligence from the tone of voice - the words are a bit hard to make out.]
[probably... :'| Kanaya might be taller if we're counting the horns.]
"Six sweeps"? Okay, great, that's incredibly informative because I am intimately familiar with pointy space alien chronology, thanks a lot except wait no I'm not.
[The moment that Nepeta wakes up, she is covered in cats. That in itself isn't much unlike the norm, even though she's only allowed one, and she is very different and sort of mutated from these cats, but it's not a bad way to wake up.
Things that aren't the norm are that she's in her Meowmix uniform, and she has no idea where she is. There had to be some sort of supervillain behind this, since she has no other ideas. Which makes her think that the cats... are either robots or have been trained to hurt her or are poisonous. She jumps up, and backs away from them, holding her claws out, really not wanting to hurt them, when she hears familiar hollering, and jumps across the room and out of the door, running at full pelt, claws out toward the shouting.
She skids into Karkat rather suddenly and very almost impales him.]
[Nepeta sheaths her claws the moment the bump into each other, and reaches forward to try and save Karkat a nasty bump. She's not quite quick enough, and ends up grabbing his hand and gets dragged down ontop of him, with a small squeak.]
I'm sorry! [she's trying very hard not to get angry because OHH man Karkat is so angry and it's hard to block that] I heard shouting and I woke up in a place I didn't know and I wanted to make sure nobody had been kidnapped and eaten by robot cats!
