[This is Karkat fastidiously tying a lantern to the end of a pole. He's scowling at his hands as they loop the thin ropes around.]

Checked fucking everywhere it's feasible to piss off into without some special consideration. Now I've got to check all these other fucking places.

[He rattles the lantern. It jingles rather pleasantly in its metal

[Here, Karkat, have a very worried-looking Tavros. Not that this is anything new.]

Uhh, so, have more people gone missing? Even other trolls...?

[Karkat scowls at Tavros but that's just how he normally looks so it's okay]

Eridan, Equius and Sollux were all here. So are Nepeta and Vriska. [And as much of a pain in the ass as Nepeta is and however much he doesn't like Vriska, he's clinging to that present tense.] I promised that autistic catass that I'd look for her gross moirail and I'm going to look for the other shitsuckers while I'm fucking at it.

[He rattles that lantern again. It seems to stay on the pole.] I'm going to go into that fucking mist. I've stayed clear so far because it's sort of a last fucking resort, but I guess I'm the motherfucking assmonkey of last resorts anyway.

[Oh god, Vriska's here. Tavros winces a little when Karkat says her name, though he does look more worried when he mentions Nepeta. And Equius scares him, but he did make him some legs, so...]

Uhhh...a-are you sure? Aren't you, uhh, worried about what might happen to you...?

[Karkat's eyes narrow.]

It's mist. What's it going to do? Except be a meteorlogical pain in the ass for looking in? [He snorts.] I'll be fucking fine. I'm always fucking fine when it comes to hauling you useless fucks out of trouble. It's god's biggest fucking joke. Karkat Vantas. Saviour of assholes. Except he doesn't die so he doesn't have to put up with them later.

Karkat? ... Are people missing..?

[ She frowns slightly in worry. It's not like she's on the friendliest terms with all of the trolls, but the idea of people missing in this place is worrisome in itself. Not to mention that it looks like it's really hitting Karkat. ]

... I'll come help look too!

No you fucking well won't. You'll stay with the fucknuggets here and plant some fucking trees or whatever the fuck you're doing while I skip merrily into the fucking unknown. You'd just get in the way, so fuck off.

[This could be translated to: JADE NO I DON'T WANT YOU TO DISAPPEAR TOO SO STAY SAFE buuuuuut...]

[whichofspace]

[ Sorry Karkat, but Jade knows you better than to be deterred by stuff like that by now. ]

Didn't you say it wasn't safe out here with the fairies? Who knows what could happen if you'd go all alone!

[sdrawkcabsllort]

I'm not going to the faeries, fuckass. I'm going to poke around in the mist. Waving my little fucking lantern over my head, because that's the shit I'm reduced to. That's how much of a fucking asshole I am, right? I wave around bullshit lanterns made by shitfuck industries and look for douchegoblets the size of a fucking red giant and lead them back to safety! So piss off and stay where you don't get in the fucking way.

[Karkat opens his mouth to shout John down...

But then he closes it and grits his teeth, giving a terse nod.]
