♋ 13th stage: [video] [Dec 19th, late at night]

[dungenessmaster]

[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

[video] congrats on getting the first half-lucid jade tag....

[ Who is completely hyped up on pain meds because she refused magical treatment?

JADE HARLEY.

She waves. Very sleepily. ]

Hi Karkat...you're back.

[video] h-h-harley-kun, uguu~ 1/2

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat pauses. he didn't care before, and she doesn't look like she's in any shape for questions now, but he wonders. where in the timeline is she from? does she remember his apology? or the cancer thing? or, god forbid, all the awkward freudian slips about her dreamself? she never made a password joke, to his knowledge, but that doesn't narrow things down much.]

Yeah, well.

2/2

[dungenessmaster]

[well, whatever, she doesn't need to deal with his pitiful angst right now. grumpyface is go!]

I didn't have much of a choice, did I? I drop out of this maggoty hellhole for two fucking days and everyone starts dying.

[memorymodus]

[ She's curled up in a hospital bed, the hand navigating the communicator covered in IV tubes and medical tape. However, she doesn't seem to think much of it. Then again she also looks like she might go back to sleep at any moment. ]

'M not dead yet...Rose saved me.

audio;

[2ollux]

KK, you fucking nookthtain.

Find Aradia. [ Oops, priorities. ]

[audio]

[dungenessmaster]

[oh god Sollux. no, he's not getting into that right now. plenty of time for remorse later. honestly it's just such a relief to hear that lisp, like things are going to be okay for at least a little longer.]

Sollux, you phlegmwhipping sack of monkey leavings! In case you missed it, Gamzee decided to flip all of his shit at the same time and fucking hospitalized a bunch of people!

[a pauses, then his running footsteps slow a bit.]

Why the fuck do I have to go tracking down your moirail? What are YOU doing that's so goddamn important? I mean, I've been gone, I don't know where the fuck to even start!

Gamzee is in the holding cell under armed guard. He's... quite vocal.

Watch Filter

[dungenessmaster]

Yeah, let me guess. He's motherfuckin' higher than you, higher than everybody, and painting a beautiful miracle mural with your blood is his hatchright.

[he doesn't even sound all that mad or shocked when he says it. mostly tired.]

I'm on my way. Don't let anyone else near him.

Watch Filter

[dragon_radiance]

Mmhm. It's not the first time I've heard it, and he's not even the most creative. Just the loudest.

And no one is with in ten feet of him at any time, myself included.

Watch Filter

[dungenessmaster]

Yeah, well that's about to change. Are you in charge of watching the cell, or am I going to have to troll some cross-eyed idiot lackey when I get there?

[Video || Forever]

[aiursfavoredson]

En Taro Adun, Karkat.

It is good to see you again.

[Video]

[dungenessmaster]

Yeah, en taro Adun.

[he keeps moving, then a thought occurs to him and he glances back at the communiator.]

Selendis is still in the city, right?

[aiursfavoredson]

Indeed she is. Selendis remained behind after your disappearance.

[dungenessmaster]

Ugh, I bet she's pissed. She probably went out and brain-rayed you and everybody about how this was an unacceptable delay or something, didn't she?

video;

[heretolookhot]

[She's been having to focus her attention on Brittany so she isn't afraid forever after that little rampage, but she's happy to see Karkat when she finally gets a chance.]

I thought I told you not to play soggy biscuit with Richard Simmons.

[Wait, shit! She bites her lip as soon as it comes out. That's not gay rainbow jizz, it's gay rainbow blood! Karkat looks alive, though. Which is more than she expected, based on the way he described his own world. Santana sighs with relief.]

Fuck, sorry, are you like...okay?

[video]

[dungenessmaster]

I'll be doing better once I figure out what the fuck shrill workout instructors have to do with breakfast food, but yeah, it looks like I'm gonna see another rise of that hideous sun after all.

[he self-consciously scrubs at some dried purple on his cheek, but it doesn't come off.]

[video]

[heretolookhot]

Good.

[Very good! Would he find the answer amusing or rage-inducing? She'll bank on the first one.]

Soggy biscuit is a game retarded human boys play where they jerk off on a biscuit and the guy who lasts longest has to eat it. It makes no sense, they should make the premature ejaculator do it.

[video]

[dungenessmaster]

[and then suddenly, even with everything going on, Karkat only has one question on his mind.]

But that's... I mean, putting aside the blatant mental retardation necessary to get someone to eat it, how would you even get the pastry to last past the second one?

[they use pails, Santana. you might want to just walk away.]
