[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.]

[He'll finally stop sitting next to the phone and will instead go over to Gamzee and sit down next to him. It's over now, and even though he knows everyone says no one stays dead here, it just hurts so much and he can't stop himself from starting to cry. He just wanted to save one of his friends this one time, and it doesn't seem like such a big thing to ask, to do something right for once in his life. But here they are.]
Okay, okay. For once, you're actually right. Whatever happens, you'll be back as good as new sometime soon.
[He reaches down and takes Gamzee's hand and squeezes it.]
I'm sorry about all of this, buddy.

H-hahaha, well, if we're...both putting all our faith into it...then a motherfuckin' miracle has to occur. So...don't cry...best friend. Everything will...turn up on all right in the end.
[Gamzee's voice is barely audible, lost under gasps for air, but he manages to smile at Karkat right before his eyes slide shut. A few seconds later, his body seizes violently, shuddering and jerking for nearly a whole minute before he finally falls still, hand going limp in Karkat's grasp.]

[He wipes his eyes with his free sleeve, but doesn't let go of his friend's hand until he's sure he's gone.]
I didn't mean a miracle, you unbelievably stupid asshole, I meant it's a town mechanic. Now I'll have to put up with even more fucking irritating miracle bullshit when you come back.
[He'll stay there for just a little while longer to pull his shit together, but now he has to go back and help Jade, even if he has no idea if what he's planning will work.]
