[ It’s a peculiar scene. Several GPSes have been set in a pile of black stones and sticks. For a few moments, there’s only Karkat breathing. Finally, he speaks: ]

It’s fucking robots. They’ve been spreading this shit. [ The camera moves to a typical Sacrosanct drone that’s been hacked to pieces. It must have contained some Black Rock, because that

[ hastily hacking Karkat's wearable to find his location D8 ]

[selfkismesis]

[ He hasn't really moved from around the treehive. A CAPTAIN GOES DOWN WITH HIS SHIP or something. ]

It's not fucking doing anything.

[Somehow "Dude. Decaf." doesn't encapsulate it properly this time.]

I don't think the robots did this, kid. [Glance at the one he cut up.] ...purposely, anyway.

[ he is stabbing rocks with his sickle. this is the best plan. ]

[speedyasshole]

O....kay.

Good plan, but. You're gonna need something hotter than that. You don't look sick, so how 'bout you grab that and dump it somewhere where it won't hurt anybody.

[manipul8trix]

[Vriska has been dying at regular intervals since Wednesday afternoon. Vriska keeps waking up to blood and gross black rock stuff and glowing Johncorpses and also one time there was a Davecorpse. She is in constant pain.]

[FUCK THAT. IT'S OLD NEWS. VRISKA IS NOW LAUGHING HER SCRAWNY ASS OFF.

THIS IS THE BEST THING.]

audio;

[selfkismesis]

[ THERE IS INCOHERENT SCREAMING AND CRYING AND RANTING AND KARKAT MIGHT BE STOMPING ON THE FIRE AND GPSES AND ROCKS AND FUCK EVERYTHING ]

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---

[manipul8trix]

Karkat. Vantas. Karkiecakes. Breathe! We wouldn't want you to--

[EXTENDED COUGHING GIGGLEFIT GOES HERE]

-- choke to death!

[selfkismesis]

HRUGHUGRUHRGHGSGFHDGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--

Wait.

Oh god, Vriska why are you coughing. Stop doing that. Stop fucking doing that right the fuck now this is every order I have ever given.

[legislacerator]

[Oh god. It's finally happened.

Karkat has taken a swan dive off into the deep end of the crazy pool. At that very moment, blood trickles out of the eyes of the corpses of the dead troll Olympic judges as though they were weeping at the sheer beauty of his acrobatic fucking pirouette off the handle (although that might just be residual effects of the psychic scream that killed them all, all things considered).

Terezi is briefly thankful that at least he hasn't completely cut off ties with everyone and drank a ton of Kool-Aid, but this is a small comfort at best.]

Jegus fuck! Karkat, where the hell are you?

[video]

[selfkismesis]

[ I am at the store buying Kool-Aid in preparation to ascend to the heavens so I may properly worship Xenu, the dictator of the Galactic Confederacy--

Oh wait. That's later. Right now, Karkat is frothing at the mouth and possibly tearing a remote control apart with his teeth. ]

I'm busy getting some fucking form of revenge, because obviously I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING DIE, PYROPE. DO YOU SMELL THIS!?

[ HOLDING THESE GODDAMN ROCKS AT THE SCREEN. ]

I'M A MOOOONNNSTTTERRR.

[video]

[legislacerator]

All right, okay, you're an idiotic monster hell-bent on stupid revenge on all robots everywhere, whatever! Just tell me where you are!

[SHE NEEDS TO KNOW SO SHE CAN AVOID THE SHIT OUT OF IT
GDMIT KARKAT Y U DO DIS]

[video]

[selfkismesis]

[ okay calming down somewhat. He drops the rocks and wipes at his eyes for a minute. Caaaaaaalm down. Caaaaaaaaaaaaaalm down. ]

...Found all this shit near the treehive. It's close. I didn't want to move it and spread it more. The fire isn't killing it.
