[This is hardly the only phone call of its type Mayfield will hear today, but when Karkat's voice comes over the phone, he definitely doesn't sound all right. He sounds shaky and terrified, in fact, and his words lack most of the usual angry edge he gives them.]

Oh shit. Okay. Hi.

Whoever explained everything to me when I first got here, well the main person is gone now, but the point is I'm pretty sure all of you failed to mention this one. So can someone please for the love of your human god tell me what Mayfield does to turn a person into a murderous psychopath and how to fix it? And it's not even the friend who usually turns into a murderous psychopath, so this is a really exciting and new situation right now and I'm not sure how to fucking deal with it!

I know you all sound pretty busy with your own problems but it's really important and...oh god, if there's a human doctor anywhere, I need a doctor really badly. Please. Oh man, he's really...just fucking come, okay?

[For all interested parties, after the events of this log, Karkat and Gamzee are hiding in an empty house near Benny Road. There's no sound or lights to indicate anyone is home, but there is a noticeable trail of red blood drops leading to the front door.]

Okay, let's pretend this is happening in a universe where you didn't just do a majestic swan dive off the deep end. What law?

[echidna]

Didn't you see all the signs?

It was clear as day, so we really deserve this for ignoring it! Officer Milkman was very nice about it.

[It takes him a second to think of it.]

This is about disgusting bodily fluids lactated for mammal wigglers? Are you fucking kidding me?

[echidna]

You are being very disrespectful right now!

So where did you say you were hiding again?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Okay, look, I find the concept of drinking anything that came out of hoofbeast tits to be extremely suspect, but if it means that much to you, I'll have a glass.

[echidna]

Are you sure you don't want to just tell me where you are instead?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

No.

But I told you I'd be back later.

[echidna]

I want you to come back now.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Too bad.

He's going to die anyway, so it's not like you're missing out on anything.

[hanging up.]

[ calling back..................................... ]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

What?

[He doesn't actually know it's Jade calling, but he's snapping angrily at anyone who decided to call and give advice this late in the game.]

[echidna]

You hung up on me!!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I'm busy.

[echidna]

That's no excuse!

Are you coming back soon? I'm getting booooooooored.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. I'll be back pretty soon.
