[Previously: "They have plans. Plans to fuck shit up."There's a terrible rumble throughout the Bar, and one of the front doors shudders once, twice, then a third before bursting open in a wave of sand and a terrible, earth-ending roar on the other side

"HOLY FUCK," Karkat says, tearing his eyes away from the window.

"I MEAN... HOLY FUCK."

"DID YOU..."

[bloodyvirgo]

The hand clinging to his is still shaking slightly, and Kanaya's focusing on calming the fuck down.

"Did I What?"

[crabbycustomer]

"NOTHING. NEVER MIND."

"I THOUGHT I HEARD... SOMETHING, BACK THERE. LIKE A..."

[bloodyvirgo]

She closes her eyes tightly.

"Like Something Screaming. Dying. Horrible. Wrong."

[gunsnbeer]

Domino jumps at the loud noises, and she's on her feet in an instant, facing the door, ready to take down whatever's on the other side when it comes through.

She relaxes slightly when the two people on the other side don't immediately charge through to rend and murder everyone. Beside, she knows that kind of laughter. She doesn't move closer, but she does yell, "What the hell was that?"

[bloodyvirgo]

From the ground, Kanaya looks up at the newcomer.

"The End Of A Universe. I Think."

[gunsnbeer]

She frowns, not in anger, but because she's thinking about what that would imply. "Tough luck. Are you two okay?"

[bloodyvirgo]

She shifts a little, slowly flexing and moving her limbs.

"Shaken, And A Little Bruised. We Should Be Just Fine."

Teja is sitting by the fireplace, and turns his head when the two trolls fall in.

He nods in greeting to the one that he has met, who installed his machinery in the forge; but also to the other one, in all likelihood a creature much like Karkat, that might turn up to use the alchimeter as well.

Somebody will have to clean up the sand and gunk.

[crabbycustomer]

In all likelihood; but she is most certainly the one who installed it, with the careful taste in interior design. Eventually, Karkat sits up, coughing and sputtering sand, and glances at Teja; he nods back.

[ostro_goth]

"Greetings," Teja says. "One would assume that whatever was amiss, you and your friend are safe now?"

[crabbycustomer]

"WE WERE HUNTING A BEHEMOTH LEAVING." Karkat sounds raspier than usual; it's all the sand. "IT IS A HOLIDAY TRADITION FOR TROLLS. WE GOT ONE, BUT IT GOT PRETTY FUCKING DANGEROUS."

"...WHICH IS ALSO PART OF THE TRADITION," he allows. "BUT YEAH, IT'S ALL OVER NOW I GUESS."

[seeswitheyes]

For a moment when they tumble through, Rose can only stare. And then she has to head over, because that laugh does not sound. Healthy.

[bloodyvirgo]

It takes a moment for the laughter to die down, and it's only then, that Kanaya spots Rose. Wearily, she raises a hand in greeting.

[crabbycustomer]

It takes Karkat a while to sit up from his bed of slime and sand, too; he is watching the window. When he feels more under control he gives her a curt nod. "LALONDE."

[veryvorkosigan]

That is ... not a good laugh.

Cordelia starts toward the door, forcing herself to keep to a slow walk.

[crabbycustomer]

Karkat is staring at the window, taking deep slow breaths. His eyes roll over to her. "HEY."

[veryvorkosigan]

"Hey." Steady.

She refrains from saying rough day? or anything like it.

[crabbycustomer]

He sits up, slowly. He is sore. "WE WENT TO GATHER A BEHEMOTH LEAVING. SUCCESSFULLY."

He can't remember if he told her about that part. "SO WE ARE PRETTY MUCH AWESOME FAKE LUSUSES."
