...

... Uh. Dude, are you okay?

[threshprince]

[Your screaming only intensifies, taking on a note of rage in addition to the terror.

You are also beginning to cry a little from the overwhelming emotions. Delicious candy-red tears. Or, as humans might be more used to, diluted BLOOD-RED tears.]

[reach_within]

... Wow, that's one really serious no. Are you -- should I... get someone? Uh. Are you bleeding?

[threshprince]

[Bleeding.

That one word forcibly drags you back into reality. Your stupid, freak mutant blood has always been a curse to you. You were sure one day, someone would find out, and that would be that, you would be culled right there. Once Sgrub started, you were placed on a planet full of your own freak blood, just to taunt you. And then when you finally led your team to victory, you thought you had escaped its curse. You were free. No one would care. You could live.

And then.

His punchline-blooded motherfucker.

Those humans stranded you there, and now your curse, your blood, your title, everything that is you is now a motherfucking punchline for that motherfucking best friend.

Blood doesn't just flow. When pushed to your limit, it begins to boil as well.

You equip your SICKLE. Not any special sickle, just your normal one from the very start. You don't know why you still even have it. But now that's enough. You lunge for this human's throat, not even recognizing who he is. He is a human, he is there- He is talking about your blood

[reach_within]

[the armor starts to crawl across his skin on reflex, and the sickle hits with a clink as he grabs for Karkat's arm.]

Holy shit, have you gone nuts?

[threshprince]

FUCK YOU!
ITS BECAUSE OF YOU FUCKING HUMANS THAT THEY'RE DEAD
AND THEY'VE GONE CRAZY
AND NOW I'M FUCKING NEXT ON THE GALLOWS
SO JUST FUCK OFF AND LET ME KILL YOU ALL
MAYBE IF I CAN KILL ENOUGH OF YOU I CAN MAKE A BETTER TIMELINE
SINCE I'M FUCKING DEAD NO MATTER WHAT ANYWAY!

[You CAPTCHALOGUE your SICKLE, ejecting another SICKLE at high speeds from the card it took.]

[reach_within]

[it bounces off his head, and sends him reeling back a few steps.]

Ow! Will you chill out with the sharp things for a minute?!

[threshprince]

ONCE YOU'RE DEAD!

[You can't even focus enough to use a FRAYMOTIF. All this is is wild slashing with your CRABCLAW, with nothing more than the power of your ECHELADDER and your bottomless fury fueling it.]

[reach_within]

[half-stepping, half-fluttering in an awkward backwards dance of attempting to parry the attacks without throwing himself too far off-balance]

I could really use a better option, here! Not-- no!

[threshprince]

[You continue your wild swings, screaming all the while.]

AND AFTER I'VE KILLED ALL OF YOU HUMANS
I'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE ON ERIDAN
AND THEN I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM FOR WHAT HE DID
I'LL MAKE FUCKING ARTS AND CRAFTS OUT OF HIS FUCKING TRAITOROUS PURPLE GUTS
AND FILL BALLOONS WITH HIS BLOOD TO DISTRACT GAMZEE
THEN ANYONE OF US WHO IS LEFT CAN JUST RUN
IF THERE'S ANYONE FUCKING LEFT OTHER THAN ME!
RUN STRAIGHT INTO JACK'S WAITING FUCKING ARMS.
ISN'T THIS JUST A FUCKING GREAT PLAN?!

[reach_within]

No! Okay, that... we've gone over suggesting that first, remember?

[one of Jaime's hands switch back to fingers, and he moves to plant it in the center of Karkat's chest and deliver a shock designed to stun.]

[threshprince]

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!

[You muster all of your strength and rage, and attempt to deliver one more swing.]

[reach_within]

[ker-taser]

[threshprince]

[You fall.

And then, unable to move anymore, you just sob into the ground.]

[reach_within]

[the other arm shifts back into a hand and fingers.]

... Something happened.

[threshprince]

NO FUCKING SHIT.
