Okay, so, how long does this shit usually last?

I don't really have any problem killing the target I was given. Actually, it'd almost be an act of mercy to end his miserable existence. But I'm also not really interested in playing human games. How good exactly are these so-called prizes?

[Action]

[A. Here's Karkat down at the general store, looking in the garden supply section! That's nice, to see that despite his grumpiness, he's taken up an interest in gardening!

He seems to be taking a few practice garden swipes with a sickle.

B. Here's Karkat walking around town with his new purchase! He's giving everyone he sees suspicious glares. If you happen to look like a smug douchebag wearing sunglasses, he'll particularly give you a once over.

C. Here's Karkat suddenly stopping in the middle of the street and looking absolutely terrified! There doesn't seem to be anything there. Careful approaching him; he looks ready to strike at anyone.]

[Filtered to Trolls]

[Karkat sounds urgent and fairly terrified when he picks up the phone again a bit later.]

This is your leader speaking, so you better answer! You assholes are all still alive, aren't you?

We have a worse situation than any of this human bullshit, got it? None of you pan-addled idiots had the sense to tell me Gamzee was here. He's gone completely shithive maggots, and he's...and on top of that, we have Noir to deal with, and he'll definitely find us, so...

You fucking jackasses better not be dead!

[As it so happens, this cool kid with sunglasses looks very much like a douchebag with sunglasses.]

Kinda weird time to take up a new hobby.

Oh. It's you.

[Well, he was hoping to sneak up on him, so he'll just pretend he wasn't looking for him all along. Instead, he'll do a few practice moves with his new purchase. He thinks he looks cool, but actually he looks like a doofus.]

It's not a hobby, asshole, it's a lethal weapon.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

For weeds I guess. And various greenery. The scourge of potted plants everywhere.

[he just watches, letting out a slight sigh as Karkat tries so earnestly to look cool... and fails.]

This is kind of painful to watch dude.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

Well, I don't see you prepared. Someone out there is supposed to kill you. What are you going to do, be a smug douche at them until they commit suicide? Because it sounds like a good plan.

C!

[ John's actually heading in the opposite direction as Karkat, but he doesn't notice him at first when he passes by. Pulling back, a regular hammer in his hands, he looks at him.

Mind, he doesn't recognize you Karkat, but just start talking and I'm sure he will :D ]

Hey, are you okay? You look kind of scared.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Karkat is a little distracted by fake fears, so he'll take a swipe in John's direction, although nowhere close enough to hit, before he recognizes him.]

Wait, John?

...I'm not scared, fuckass, I just have some things on my plate right now.

[nerdheir.livejournal.com]

[ John considers this guy for a second, wondering why this guy knows him name...Then, suddenly he smiles. ]

Karkat!! I didn't realize you were here.

Do you need help? We can team up!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't need to team up, I'm fine.

But for the record, when I said I was probably about to die? It's still true.

What the goofy fuck is the matter with you.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Shit.

It may be Spades Slick in front of him, but right now Karkat is only seeing Bec Noir. He's shaking and looks almost hilariously terrified, but still brandishing his garden shop sickle.]

Okay. We're doing this.

I won't let you get everyone else! Even though there's objectively no fucking way I can do that!

[made-this-town.livejournal.com]

What.

The fuck.

Are you even talking about kid. Put that down before you hurt yourself.

...Actually on second thought don't, that would be hilarious.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Is this hilarious? Karkat's now charging trying to kill you with his stupid sickle.

Actually, yes, it's kind of hilarious.]

[im-the-cute-one.livejournal.com]

How dare you defy my orders! This speaks ill of you, young man!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Okay, I don't really care, asshole!

I would gladly make that douchebag choke on his own stupid looking human glasses, but there's some more complicated shit going on here!

[im-the-cute-one.livejournal.com]

Oh, so they've got glasses, huh? Guess it's not me. I bet their glasses are super cool, too.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

They're cool if you like hipster assholes and also just generally have terrible taste.

[skyruns.livejournal.com]

I think they're more red herrings, if anything. I can't say for sure.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Wow, seriously? That sounds like a fucking terrible prize.

[skyruns.livejournal.com]

Well, giving out real prizes wouldn't be good for them, I'd imagine.

[This girl edging warily down the sidewalk stops and gives him a Not Impressed look.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Okay, fuck you, he doesn't seem to really care! He's just swiping his stupid little sickle at invisible people and generally looking like a giant doofus.]

[fearcutsdeeper]

[This is incredibly silly. Arya can't help but inch a little closer in utter bewilderment.]

Are you mad?

[phone] SORRY THIS IS SO LATE, I didn't know if she'd be alive for this or not h-haha

[tacklepounce.livejournal.com]

Karkat?

[ He's not the only one freaking out; it's a pretty frazzled Nepeta that responds, sporting several bloody bandages, not that Karkat could tell over the phone. What does show is an uncharacteristic sense of urgency and a distinct lack of cat puns. ]

Are you okay? Who's still alive? I can't find anyone, even Equius, I think they're being hunted too!

haha it's ok!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I have no fucking idea! It's probably safe to assume everyone's dead!

Where are you?

schrodinger's nepeta strikes agaaain

[tacklepounce.livejournal.com]

Um-- my hive's at 311 Miller Street. Do you want to come over? Is your hive safe?
