♋ 13th stage: [video] [Dec 19th, late at night]
[Hours after Gamzee was caught and jailed, Death City's other least favorite grey-skinned asshole returns. apparently Karkat skimmed the network to get an idea of what's been going on. he's moving fast with the Kinshin Chamber vanishing in the background, and he looks... awful. his eyes are too wide. long story short, he's been through some shit
( Read more... )
At least, I'm pretty sure. A lot of serious injuries. Some people are still unconscious.
...Is there anything we can do...? ['We' being her and/or Bold, of course]

[Roughly 20 minutes later Bold comes back, looking quite haggard ]
Did you know you have a crazy woman with a chainsaw guarding your house? Just thought you should know. If you did know, thanks for warning me, asshole. Some friend you are!
But it's fine, I didn't die and I got the pie.

I have no idea who would do such a horrible thing or why.
It definitely wasn't me, but you should probably look into it when you've got the chance.

...and what the frond-buckling fuck did you do to the door?
[mostly he asks because multiple personalities or not, she's just this skinny little girl.]

And I didn't do it! [pause]
But if I had done it, it would've been because I kicked through the door. It took--I mean, it would've taken-- a few times, but eventually I got through.
Would get through.

There, look at how fucking smoothly we just put the entire broken door business behind us. Fuck, I feel like a million boonbucks with that crisis entirely averted!
[Karkat grumps about the other thing, but maybe he's feeling a little more open to suggestions about his behavior right now. he sure as hell has been fucking everything up by acting on his own.
also, he still kinda needs her to deliver that pie.]
Fine. Sorry I didn't know there was a chainsaw-brandishing moirail protecting my hive, and that she went after you. I guess.

[she's moving again, balancing the pie in one hand and the communicator in the other]
And if I had broken your door, I'd say I was sorry too. It was an unfortunate casualty to a greater cause.
[a long pause]
...What's a 'boonbuck'?

[yeah he's just a little bit impatient.]

Keep your pants on, grumpy. I'm here! [She holds onto the pie carefully, eyebrow raised]
Do I get a 'thank you' too?
Reply
Ugh, bluh. How can he STAND these things?
[he looks grumpy, just as advertised, and he's kind of in a hurry to get this pie mashed into a clown's face before he loses his nerve. so he rushes this part]
Yeah, okay, fine. Thanks for braving the chainsaw troll and my hive and not asking a bunch of dumb questions about everything. I gotta go assault Gamzee with this thing now, so you can go home.
Reply
But the expression softens and she smiles, as if a little relieved] Welcome back. I'm glad you're here, but tell anyone and I'll have to kill you.
Now go stop the crazy clown and when you're all done and rested up, we'll celebrate your return! [Her grin suggest there's no getting out of this, and she gives him a cheeky little wave goodbye on top of it]

he grimaces at the threat of another party, but nods anyway. he'll find a way out of that one later, he's about as far from a party mood as it gets.]
Yeah, that's the plan. The first thing, anyway. Get back inside already, it's colder than last dark season's victims out here.
[he turns and heads inside.[]
