Linda should be a warning for all logs I am involved in. From henceforth, this is mandatory.
Unfortunately for Jack, it seems he hasn't uncovered Karkat's two secrets (outside of blood color). The first being that his hair is the color of every thing good and pure in this wonderful and beautiful world!!!!!!, but he just dyes it. The second is that he is immune to beartraps.
Unfortunately for Karkat, both of these secrets aren't actually secrets, because they're lies.
Jack might be alerted to Karkat's presence by the rustling of sand as its disturbed by sprung beartraps. Perhaps even the CLANG of metal meeting metal. It's a slim chance, but maybe Karkat's shouts of rage, surprise, and more rage echoing together until there's nothing but incoherent screaming will alert him.
Whatever the case, Jack won't have a chance to act on this newfound alertness, because Karkat will be crashing into his tent with a loud "WHAT THE FLYING FLAMING FUCKMONGERING BULLSHITTINGLY RIDICULOUS FUCKING DEATHTRAP--" etc etc etc.
Hey, look. We've already hit all our warnings. Linda? Check. Haiku? Check. Violence? Duh.
Now, children bleeding.
"OH MY GOD." His hands go to the wound, covering it as best he can. He begins a chorus of "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," which eventually crescendo into a, "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK DON'T FUCKING LOOK COVER YOUR GODDAMN EYE" which descends into "Shit, goddamnit, why are there beartraps, oh God, don't fucking look--" There's a little crabwalk maneuver accompanying this melodic display of panic. A crabwalk that leads right behind a shitty pile of ammo.
Because, hey, while Karkat's Jack might know about his blood and share his blood color, this Jack...
Jack looks extremely unenthused. Oh, Karkat is bleeding. He's also gray and has goddamn candycorn stuck to his head. It's almost as weird and jarring as Jack must look to him, but at least Karkat's appearance is mostly the same. He still looks human enough to be a Karkat.
The surprise stabs weren't really an accident or at all avoidable, though, because they serve a second purpose: this Karkat has horns. Horned kids are bad. They often have freaky powers and try to kill Jack. Normal human Karkat, on the other hand, is a huge whimp who would never be able to kill someone anyway, so he's completely harmless. Jack had to be sure if this Karkat was more like his Karkat or more like a fucking psychotic murderer horned kid with pink hair and dumb stupid shades. It's scienceEvidence suggests this Karkat is, in fact, a huge whimp. Good to know. Jack lets his guard down a tad, and by that I mean he doesn't proceed to shoot Karkat some more. He doesn't really help him, either. He just watches for a little while

It's not his.
He's fleshy.
Pink.
Weird.
