Ok. Finished part two at last. I need a name for this. I have
"Punch from the Past" right now. It seemed like a good idea, you
know a 'blast from the past' only this is more like a sucker
punch in the face from the past. But it sounds stupid. I needs
ideas. I suck at titles.

Another fanfic: WARNING SADSTUCK

---------------------------------------------------------
By the time Karkat had finished his story and the two had
returned to the temporary camp, everything had been taken down
and the others were waiting on them. Karkat spotted Nepeta and
the Disciple in the back talking together. He decided he would
just avoid her for now.
The adults talked for a few minutes before they headed out.
Their packs were floating behind them, being held up by the
Psiioniic's powers. The trip was a quiet one. They had split
into two groups, the adults in front leading the way and the
younger ones following behind. It wasn't a good silence. The
tension from Nepeta's freakout still hung between them. Karkat
could hear the older trolls, namely the Signless, talking in
front of them. He was telling them what Karkat had told him
earlier. Karkat was going to have to talk to his little gang
soon enough too. Gog.
"freaky riight?" a voice sounded next to his ear. A voice that
could only belong to Sollux.
"WHa-? YEAH." Karkat answered with a laugh. Sollux was right on
the mark. This was the freakiest thing that had ever happened to
him. And he had lived in paradox space for almost 2 sweeps.
"ii can tell. you've been quiiet lately. 2omethiing wrong?" He
glanced over at the red blooded troll. Karkat let out a laugh at
that. Which for him was actually just a chuckle.
"WHERE SHOULD I BEGIN?" Actually, where would he begin? Sollux
had inadvertently given him the perfect excuse to tell them and
he was going to take it. Or at least he planned to when Nepeta
tugged on his sleeve. Sollux took his que and fell back to talk
to Kanaya. Karkat wasn't that lucky.
Nepeta looked at him with a small and guilty smile. "Um...
Karkitty? Can I talk to you?"
Immediately Karkat put his grumpy face on. "YOU MIGHT AS WELL.
YOU'RE ALREADY HERE." Nepeta merely shook off his tone, like
always, and moved up so she was walking in step with him.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for yelling at you... I was just
really worried about Equius." She didn't look at him while she
spoke. Rather she stared at the sand at her feet, her emotions
written all over her face. Karkat couldn't help but soften up a
bit. It was really hard to stay angry at Nepeta.
"IT'S FINE I GUESS." He said quickly. His own guilt made him
keep talking, even though he really didn't want to. "HEY. I'M
SORRY I WAS SUCH A BLITHERING **** TO YOU..." He choked out,
suddenly finding the same fascination with the sand Nepeta had
just a few moments ago. She didn't say anything for a long time
and he was almost afraid she wouldn't forgive him. When he
glanced up at her though she launched herself at him, purring
loudly. The two almost fell over but Karkat managed to stay on
his feet. Nepeta could pack a punch but she was still pretty
light. He let out a nervous whine when he looked up and spotted
the Signless and the Disciple watching them from over their
shoulders. Nepeta immediately let go when he did this. She was
pawsitivly ecstatic.
"Thank you so much Karkitty! Equius was so wrong about you!" She
chirped before latching onto his side yet again. Oh great. What
was that guy saying about him? He could only wonder. Sollux
laughed behind them and Kanaya watched them with warm eyes.
Karkat could feel his face getting hot under their looks. He
carefully peeled the purring girl off of him and stopped to let
Kanaya and Sollux catch up to them. Nepeta bounced patiently by
his side.
Sollux looked like he was about to say something sarcastic but
Karkat cut him off. "WE NEED TO TALK."
WW=WW=WW=WW=WW=WW
Eridan stood stiff at the front of the ship. His ancestor,
Dualscar, stood beside him relaxed but with an undisputed air of
authority. The young violet blood was honored to stand beside
him, he looked up to the other troll, but at the same time he
knew if he dropped his guard around him he was as good as dead.
The seas of Alternia were sliced easily by the hull of the boat.
Gog he missed it. If he ever set foot on another astroid again,
he'd save Kan the trouble and cut himself in half. Dualscar
rested a hand on his shoulder and he felt him go perfectly
still. He could still feel the point of the spears digging into
his skin as he talked his way out of getting culled in the
middle of Dualscar's captains' courtiers. For now he was safe,
Dualscar's new apprentice, but who knew how long that would
last.
"Wwe'll reach the next port towwn in three days." His hand moved
to the back of Eridan's neck. The younger troll grid his teeth
as his ancestor dug his nails into the soft skin. "Be prepared.
I'd like to showw you off." With a flutter of his cape, he
turned to return to his chambers. Eridan didn't dare even breath
until he was sure Dualscar was good and gone.
With a sigh he rubbed his sore neck. He leaned against the
railing and stared at the crystal clear waters turn to white
foam as the ship travelled across the waves. He knew there were
sea dweller cities and, not for the first time, he wished he had
woken up there rather than on the deck of the Orphaner's ship.
"If only you wwere here fef..." He sighed. "Then wwe could givve
that glubber**** wwhat he deservves and get the hell out of
here." He could almost see her face in the white. Beneath the
sound of the waves, it almost seemed as though he said 'and then
I could make things right'.
69~69~69~69~69~69
They had spent the trip talking, both the adult and younger
trolls. Now they had set up their temporary camp and were
sitting around the fire, planning out what to do next. The
others didn't like it when Karkat told them that he'd told the
Signless everything. Sollux claiming that things could get more
****ed up from here and Kanaya pretty much agreeing with him,
though she used different words. When he told them what he had
seen, he had expected them to think he was crazy. Sollux saw
stuff. Aradia saw stuff. He did not see stuff. But they were
pretty accepting of it. His worry was unnecessary. Nepeta just
kept quiet through most of it, looking worried. **** if he knows
what was going on in her head. The adults seemed pretty
accepting of the younger trolls as well, if not a bit spectacle
of what this would mean. He was so glad the Signless had told
them not him. It was still unbelievably weird being around
adults and he really wasn't sure if he could have told them. The
only one he had actually talked to so far was the Signless.
They were discussing Aradia right now but no one knew where to
look. He didn't know where to look. And then there was still the
matter of Equius. Assuming he was even here. And if he was here,
did that mean that the others were here too? And what about the
humans that were with them? What had happened to Dave and Rose?
It felt like his head was going to explode with all these ifs.
"I Think The Best Choice Of Action Would Be To Gather More
Information." Kanaya was saying. The others seemed to agree with
her well enough.
"We should arrive at the next town sometime early tomorrow
evening." The Signless answered. "We can ask around there. See
if anyone has seen any young trolls that match the description."
The others nodded. "I didn't plan to but if we're going to be
there for a few days I could go ahead and preach." This was more
for the adult trolls. The Dolorosa didn't like this idea.
"Are you sure? It's so close to the port cities. I wouldn't be
surprised if there were highbloods around there with your name
on their list." She was obviously worried. Couldn't blame her
though. If they were that close to the ports, there could be a
serious issue.
"That town is big enough that a young troll could easily get
lost. It's going to take at least a few days to find out if one
of their friends is there or not. If I preech there, it'll give
them the time they need and we'll still be doing something
productive." He countered. He was right too. The Psiioniic and
Sollux had been quiet for most of the conversation, as though
they were thinking about something.
"I have a bad feeliing about that place." The Psiioniic said,
pulling attention away from the Signless. He and Sollux shared
the same grim expression.
"We'll be careful." Signless answered. The Psiioniic almost
seemed to grin at him.
"I can't talk you out of this, can I?"
The Signless grinned. "Nope."

---------------------------------------------------------
Signless wasn't wrong about when they would get there. It only
took them a few hours after they set out to arrive at the town.
If you could call it that. It was huge. Tall buildings filled
with trolls took up much of the outer city. Farther in were more
shops, hotels and other establishments. It was amazing how many
trolls were in the place. At least three had tried to get Karkat
to buy something from them. It was complete sensory overload.
Nepeta seemed to be having the biggest problem. The Disciple had
to keep ahold of her arm to keep her from getting pulled into
the crowd. Once they had gotten far enough in, they stuck to
alley ways and back roads, coming across some of the slum areas
of the town. Karkat was so glad he didn't like during this time.
He couldn't even imagine what would have happened to him. The
worst was when they accidently got too close to the main square
and came across a slave auction. The lowbloods were being sold
to the higherbloods. The Dolorosa pulled him along right when a
maroon blood about his age caught his eye. He had never seen a
troll so miserable. Chills ran down his spine as he walked
along. The faster he could get away from that ball of misery and
pain the better.
They finally came to a stop outside of a shabby looking hotel in
one of the less disgusting slum areas. Psiioniic went to book a
room while the others stood just out of sight. No one would
question them. Not here. "The Dolorosa and I will stay here.
We're the ones with the greatest risk." The Signless was saying.
"Disciple, I want you and Psiioniic to go out and help them."
She stared at him for a moment, as though she was waiting for
something. "Please?" The olive blood grinned. "Of course!" She
chirped happily.
The Psiioniic stuck his head around the corner. "Got it. Second
floor, room 213." He passed the room key to the Signless who
gave his friend a pat on the arm.
"You're helping the younger trolls." He said. "Disciple is going
with you. Don't start anything."
The Psiioniic immediately became defensive. "Sh-" A look from
the Signless stopped him. He crossed his arms and grumbled about
Signless's relationship with the Disciple and who topped.
Signless nudged him in the side with his elbow and the two began
an intense battle of slap and tickle. The Disciple leaned over
and whispered something in Nepeta's ear that caused her to start
giggling. The Dolorosa and Kanaya shared an exasperated glance
and cleared their throats. Signless and Psiioniic looked up to
meet the glare of two jade bloods. The boys grinned and
obediently hid their hands behind their back. The Disciple
cracked up behind the jade bloods. With a glance over her
shoulder, the Dolorosa shooshed her too.
"This is hardly the time for that." She scolded the trolls. This
was actually pretty comical and Karkat felt a grin begrudgingly
rise to his lips. He kept it down by pursing his lips together.
He was grumpy enough on a usual basis he could get away with it.
The Signless nodded and instructed his friend to show them to
the room. The three trolls went inside, leaving the young trolls
in the care of the Disciple for the time being. She immediately
scooped up her desendant once the others had gone, hugging her.
It was nice to see them getting along with each other.
"Why Did The Signless Tell The Psiioniic Not To Start Anything?"
Kanaya asked, most likely so she could keep an eye on the two
while her ancestor wasn't there to do it herself.
The Disciple purred, "We prank each other a lot. Lately the
Psiioniic has been starting it. Most likefurry trying to get me
back." She had a mischievous smile that creeped Karkat out a
bit. The Psiioniic came out a moment or two after that, rubbing
the palms of his hands on his pants.
"Dolorosa's grub picking the room." he said with a grin.
Disciple just laughed and set Nepeta down before walking off.
The lanky yellow blood kept up with her easily while the younger
trolls trailed behind. Karkat had to walk at a pretty swift pace
to keep up with then, him being so short.
Once they reached the nearest market place, they went to work.
The Disciple had drawn pictures of the missing trolls before
they reached the city in one of her many journals. Nepeta had
described their friends for her and it was surprising how
detailed she'd been. She had noticed things about Terezi and
Gamzee even Karkat hadn't noticed. Not to mention all the
others. She had carefully left their blood colors out of the
pictures so no one would be able to tell where they were on the
hemospectrum. At each shop or booth, the Disciple spoke with
each of the owners and showed them the pictures. On a few
occasions, coins were exchanged but so far no luck.
-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->-|->
At last. Civilization. Nepeta had earned more credit than he
could give her. It wasn't as easy as she made it look, making
your way through a forest. Equius had tripped over too many
plants to count and almost gotten lost on several occasions. If
not for the fact that he and his moirail had had conversations
about forest living before, who knows where he would have ended
up. He made his way through the tall buildings, ignoring the low
bloods that moved out of his way. Eventually he came across a
slave auction. He didn't really care about it, or at least he
didn't until he saw an olive blood sold to an older troll. The
perverse look on the trolls face made Equius want to break it.
If they had been hatched in this time, that very well could have
been Nepeta in chains being sold to some sleaze ball. For the
first time, he really thought about where he was. The blue blood
was so caught up in his thoughts he nearly missed the cat like
horns and olive tinted clothes pass across the auction. A sneak
of blue, his blue, under the hood of a cloak confirmed it. And
he was off, cutting around the crowd. He may have accidentally
elbowed the troll who bought the olive blood as he ran passed.
By the time he had crossed the crowd, they were gone. But now he
had a lead. He set of at a run in the direction she had been
headed. He managed to keep on track with the barest glimpses of
his moirail. Until they turned down a market street. Trolls were
everywhere, nothing more than a confusing mass of bodies. He
spend at least and hour scouring the street and the streets
around it for her. She was no where in sight. He had lost her.
In a fit of rage, he hit the wall of an unused building, sending
it crumbling to the ground. None of the trolls nearby said
anything, they just continued on with hushed tones. He would not
give up. He would protect his moirail. As he was sure she would
do.
The search began again at the actual marketplace. He kept a slow
pace as he scanned the crowd bustling around him. All he was
looking for was one familiar feature, just one, to show that
Nepeta was here.
He didn't see her. But he heard her. The familiar chime of her
laugh sent him wheeling around. There. Just down the street.
There she was. She was so close. Right within reach...
69~69~69~69~69~69
After a few hours of failure, they decided to take a break and
were currently checking out the different shops. Disciple and
Nepeta thoroughly enjoyed trying on the flashy outfits at one
store while Karkat admired some weapons at another. No one
bought anything though. They didn't have the money. Now the
Psiioniic was completely pulled in by a headgear salesman. He
had taken off his headband to try on some of the goods, ignoring
the salesman waving around a large yellow helmet he swore up and
down amplified psionic powers. Disciple leaned against one of
the tables, commenting on the different looks. He finally turned
to leave the booth after trying on a piece that made his head
look like a pencil. But when he went to grab his headband, it
was gone. It didn't take long for him to find the culprit. The
Disciple danced away from the booth, waving it in front of her.
"Disciple!" he yelled, tearing off after her. The cat woman
slipped through the crowd with ease. Psiioniic did not have that
grace. He used his weed wackier elbows to shove his way through
the other trolls, half blinded by the mass of messy hair hanging
in front of his face. Karkat watched from the booth next to when
it had began. Nepeta stood by him, giggling rather loudly.
Shooting her a look that ultimately did nothing, he tromped off
after the two unbelievable ****s who only seemed to have the
mental capacity to behave like newly hatched grubs. He'd made it
down a few more booths before a sound stopped him. A scream.
More accurately, Nepeta's shrill, pain filled scream.
Where she had been just a few feet behind him laughing, she was
now on the ground, clutching her arm to her chest. Equius
hovered over her with an expression that seemed like he was in
more pain than she was.
The Psiioniic and the Disciple were beside him in a flash.
Disciple pulled him back while the Psiioniic prepared an attack.
He would have done it too, if not for Nepeta getting up and
wrapping Equius in the tightest hug she could manage with just
one arm. As you can imagine, the older trolls were confused.
Equius pulled away and began talking quickly to Nepeta. This was
too much for Karkat. He was interveening.
"EQUIUS!" he yelled, walking towards them. The two looked up at
him. Sollux and Kanaya choose this moment to arrive as well.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL **** IS GOING ON? HAS YOUR BULDGING MUSCLES
FINALLY CRUSHED YPUR THINK PAN?"
Equius was too panicked to answer. "Lowblood. It is imperative
that Nepeta and I leave this town immediately. This is a trap
and-"
The Disciple had arrived and cut him off. "A trap? What's a
trap?" Her eyes shot daggers at him, as though she wanted to
repay him for the pain he had caused her descendant. She most
likely did. The blue blood ignored her though and turned his
attention back to his moirail.
"Nepeta. We need to leave. Its dangerous here." He continued. He
wasn't making much sence.
"Equius calm down. Why do we need to leave? Tell me." She tried
quelling him. She was still craddling her arm and didn't seem to
want to touch him just yet. Probably because he was sweating
like a pig and then some plus he had managed to break her arm on
top of that.
"This matter is not up for discussion. We're leaving. Now." He
reached out to her, but another hand caught him by the wrist.
"I don't think so." It was the Psiioniic and his eyes were
flashing dangerously fast. Equius met his gaze, looking like he
was ready to throw a punch. The others could feel it in the air.
The Disciple tensed into a crouch while Kanaya reached into her
pocket, fingering here lipstick. Sollux and Karkat stood tense
as well, just less willing to enter the fray, should one break
out. Things would have gotten really bad, really fast if not for
Nepeta.
The olive girl softly placed her good hand on Equius's cheek,
paired with a gentle shoosh. The effect was instantaneously and
with a few paps, the tension left him.
The others reacted as well. The young trolls relaxed. Psiioniic
released Equius but neither he nor the Disciple let the tension
leave their bodies completely. Equius stared at the ground, a
guilty look on his face.
"Now what's going on?" Nepeta asked, her hand resting on his
arm.
Between his already low voice, him talking to the dirt and how
fast he was speaking, it was difficult to figure out what he was
saying. "This town is a trap set by the E%ecutionor for the
Signless and his followers." The Disciple and the Psiioniic
exchanged looks. "That's why we need to leave. You do not need
to get caught up in whatever tomfoolery those delinquents
cause." He scolded Nepeta.
"I'm going to get them." Disciple announced, running back
towards the hotel. Psiioniic watched her leave before turning
back to the young trolls.
"If you're with us, come on." He said, pointy glaring at Equius.
He turned and ran after the Disciple. Nepeta didn't even
hesitate to head after them, Equius running after her of course.
Karkat watched his other friends run passed. Fuck. What had he
gotten himself into? Too late. He was running after them too.
MMMMMMMMMMMM
To say Vriska Serket was happy would be an understatement. She
was in heaven. For whatever reason, she had woken up a few
nights ago on the deck of a ship, surrounded by adult trolls
wielding weapons. She took out three of them when Mindfang came
down from the upper deck. Vriska had won her worth on the ship.
And now she was ripping up the high seas with the greatest
pirate ever, Marquise Spinneret Mindfang! Rules meant nothing
and the world was theirs for the taking! So no. Vriska Serket
was not happy.
69~69~69~69~69~69
By the time Karkat had gotten to the hotel with the others, the
Disciple had already stormed into the room. The Signless had
just finished stuffing stacks of paper into his pack and the
Dolorosa was getting her own pack. The flurry of commotion was
over in a second and everyone looked like they were ready to go.
Disciple stared at Equius, who stood just inside the door, but
she didn't say anything. The Signless did however.
"Are you the one who told us about the trap?" he asked,
motioning for Equius to come closer. The younger troll nodded,
taking a few steps in. "What else can you tell us?" The blue
blood almost didn't answer, if not for Nepeta who was watching
him with her large cat eyes.
"I was only told this was a trap for you. I do not know the
details." he said. He had puffed himself up into an
authoritative air, just as a reminder who he was and who they
were.
The Signless nodded. This young troll was not their supporter.
He was Nepeta's supporter and that was the only reason why he
was here. "We'll take the main roads out. They won't expect
that." he walked passed the other trolls and out the door,
everyone else quickly followed.
They went out the back of the hotel and looped through the city
until they reached one of the main roads leading out of the
town. Once there, they slowed their pace to that of the crowd at
took up a spot in the middle of the street. Each ducked their
head down to hide their face, with the exception of Equius. As a
blue blood, he most likely wouldnt be questioned.
Fortunately, no one stopped them and they were able leave the
city quickly. Once they were a safe distance away, the trolls
turned off the road and disappeared into the dense forest.

---------------------------------------------------------
Once again, they were sitting around the fire. Only there was no
fire. It would have been too risky. So they sat in a circle in
silence. The trolls had taken refuge in a well hidden cave,
mostly to take care of Nepeta's arm. Now she was sitting next to
Equius, happily bouncing in her spot, oblivious to the trunk
beast in the room. That trunk beast was Equius.
It was beyond obvious that he was not on their side. He had
referred to most of the trolls, even the adults, as lowbloods
and while he was perfectly civil, gog was he a snood. The four
adults seemed particuarly angsty around him and from the hard
lines etched into the Signless's face, they didn't trust him
either. They just didn't know what to do with him. He wouldn't
just leave, not without his moirail, and Nepeta had already made
it very clear where her loyalties lay. So far he hadn't done
much. He had been quiet and only spoke when he had to. It was
also very clear that he felt really truly guilty. Equius hovered
around Nepeta while her arm was being treated and no matter how
many times the Dolorosa had sent him away, he kept coming back
to her side. It was as though he wanted to tell her something
and either lacked the guts or the words to do it. That just
added to the awkwardness.
It was the Dolorosa who broke the silence. "We're almost out of
supplies." Her voice shattered the air like it was glass and the
trolls shifted around her. The Signless buried his head in his
hands.
"The next safe town is a three day walk from here." Disciple
answered. She would know since she was the one who made the maps
the group used.
"I could fly u2 there?" the Psiioniic offered.
"Sorry Psii. That's not a good idea. We'd be spotted. You don't
exactly turn invisible when you use your pawers." She sighed.
The Psiioniic rubbed the back of his neck and muttered something
about lighting up like a illumination bulb. The trolls fell into
an unsettling silence.
"We could go to the ports."
Everyone stared at Nepeta like she had grown a second head. She
might as well have, offering up that idea. Going there would be
insanely risky, the exact opposite of what they wanted. The
Signless was wanted by the highbloods and that would be walking
straight into the hornet's nest.
"Seriously!" was her answer to their looks. "That's the last
place they expect you to go so they'd never look there."
"Hiding in plain sight..." The Signless said after a moment. It
seemed like they might actually do it. Karkat wasn't having any
of that though.
"YOU INSIPID BUNCH OF GRUBFISTED ****S. THAT IS POSSIBLY THE
DUMBEST ****ING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. AND I HAVE SAT THROUGH
PAN NUMBING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE BIGGEST BUMBLING ****NOOZLE
IN ALL OF PARADOX SPACE." he said yelled. "THE TWO OF YOU
NOOKFODDLING ****S DESERVE METALS FOR THIS SUICIDE MISSION I HAD
THOUGHT ONLY AN IMBICILIC SUPOR MUNCHING CLOWN WORSHIPPER COULD
COME UP WITH. THE SEA DWELLERS CAN POLLISH THEM FOR YOU SINCE
YOUR SORRY EXCUSES FOR A CRANIUM WILL BE MOUNTED PROUDLY ON
THEIR WALL." And off he went.
Nepeta sure was talkative tonight. "But Karkitty, we might find
one of our friends there. I miss them." she was pulling out her
pouty kitty eyes, a fierce match against the profanities leaping
from Karkat's protein chute.
"PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYTHING GOOD LEFT IN THIS SORRY ****
STAINED EXISTANCE TELL ME YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT PURPLE
BLOODED MASS OF DISAPPOINTMENT." oh! A sharp move bringing up
one of the mass murderers plaguing the meteor the time of her
death. What would Nepeta counter with?
"Ew. No. Eridan can go die in a hole fur all I care." she
dropped the eyes for a moment. Was she fumbling? "I miss Feferi
though." No she wasn't! The eyes were back in full force! Good
job cat girl! Wait. Flag on the play flag on the play! Equius
grumbled a warning for her to respect the seadwelling
highbloods.
"FINALLY! SANITY HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THIS CONVERSATION FILLED
WITH WHAT THE ****S!! WERE NOT GOING TO THE PORT CITY."
"Karkat." The barest hit of an edge slid into her voice. "You
can't tell me it's a bad idea to have Feferi with us."
Karkat opened his mouth to argue back but nothing came out.
Goaalllll!!! Point for the green team! Red down, three to
none!!! "NEPETA. WHY IN THE NAME OF EVERLOVING **** ARE YOU
MAKING SENSE?"
"I've always made sense. Maybe if you had ever taken the time to
get to know me, you would have noticed that." The entire forest
they were in just froze over. The others audibly winced.
"Nepeta! Behoove yourself!" The cat girl glanced over her
shoulder but didn't say anything. Equius rose to his feet.
"We'll be leaving now. Thank you for taking care of her." He
looked down at Nepeta, obviously waiting for her to get up. The
olive troll met his gaze.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
The Psiioniic leaned towards the Signless. "Is it bad that this
entertains me?" He whispered. The Signless grinned.
"Nope."
The back and forth had quelled and now they were in an intense
stare down. "Nepeta." Equius warned.
"OKAY. I, YOUR LEADER, AM GIVING YOU TWO AN ORDER. ARE YOU
LISTEN YOU MUSCLE BRAINED **** HEAD." Karkat twitched and spewed
spittle like a beautiful ranting fountain. "YOU TWO GET THE ****
OUT AND DEAL WITH YOUR GODDAMN PALE ISSUES SOMEWHERE ELSE. GO
HAVE A PILE OR SOMETHING JUST DON'T DO IT HERE!!!"
The two trolls stared at the still twitching Karkat. Nepeta got
to her feet, grabbed Equius's arm and ran out of the cave
singing 'pile, pile, pile~!' With a final frustrated grunt,
Karkat sat back down. Why were his friends such blithering
feculent shitholes?
}O}O}O}O}O}O}O}O}O}O}O}O
This was kind of awful. The cart jerked again, almost sending
Tavros to the floor. Again. His back ached from sitting in the
same position for hours, his butt felt like it was on fire, and
his wrists were raw from the shackles biting into them. For
whatever reason, he had woken up in the middle of a forest, only
to get shackled and tossed in the back of a cart with other
bronze bloods. It took him a while to figure out what was going
on. When they stopped at a town and watched others get sold, did
it finally click. And now he was terrified he would be sold as a
slave. He could only imagine how that would go with his robotic
legs. Even the cerulean bloods who had captured him said he was
damaged goods and would end up culled before he got bought. The
thought shook him. Another jerk of the cart sent him into the
troll next to him. Fortunately this one didn't seem to hate him.
The old troll shoved him off and looked over at him. So far,
this old troll was the only one who had actually been nice to
him. He had been protecting him from the cerulean bloods and
Tavros was grateful for that. Who knows what would have happened
to him if not for the old troll. A glance toward the troll in
the cart to watch them said it wasn't a good idea to talk. He
just nodded at the troll. He didn't even know the old troll's
name. In response, the troll spat a ball of phlem on the cart
floor. Unfortunately that was one of the better substances that
coated the wooden planks.
Tavros leaned back as much as he could against the one beam
around the edge of the cart. They were passing through a forest
and moonlight filtered through the leaves. He couldn't help but
think about his hive and Tinkerbull. It made him want to cry.
As though it had sensed his sadness, which it may have, a small
chirpfiend flew down and rested on his shoulder, it's tiny
talons keeping it steady against the sway of the cart. Tavros
immediately felt better, he almost smiled even. With a glance to
the guard, who was busy inspecting the results of a gold digging
expedition, he ordered the small creature to his lap. The
shackles limited his movements. The bird did so obediently. He
always did have a way with flying animals. With one hand
carefully holding the frail little animal, he petted it with the
other. He stroked the smooth feathers under the head, one of the
favorite spots on almost any animal. This was actually helping
him relax. And the chirpfiend was enjoying it too.
A hard grip on his arm caused him to jump. The white bird flew
off with a shriek and he watched it mournfully. A jerk sent him
looking straight into the brown eyes of the old troll. He could
smell the stink on his breath, which he really wished he
couldn't. He couldn't help but wonder how the troll had managed
to do it without getting brained by his huge horns. Not the
time.
"Don't you ever do that again." He hissed, spit flying from his
mouth. "Don't ever let them know that you can do that. You'll
regret the day you hatched if you do."
With a solid thwack, his head shot down. Through the pain, he
could see that the old troll had been hit too and released his
arm. He didn't dare look up, for fear of what the cerulean blood
would do to him. When neither of the lowbloods moved, the guard
walked off, tapping his stick against his thigh as a warning to
everyone else.
Tavros didn't look up again. He just sat, slowly stroking his
thumb, trying to remember the feeling of the chirpfiend's
feathers. And trying not to cry.
69~69~69~69~69~69
Karkat didn't know what Nepeta did but when they got back, she
made sure to tell everyone that they were coming. Equius didn't
exactly look happy, did he ever? But he looked a lot better than
he had. Obviously the talk had helped both of them. Nepeta was
more like she used to be, trying to help where ever she would.
Karkat still avoided her though. That was twice she had gotten
mad at him and it just freaked him out. He was going to have to
ask him what was going on with her.
Late evening was just beginning when they left. The group was
slowly becoming more integrated. Sollux and the Psiioniic were
in a heated debate about something and the Dolorosa chatted
quietly with Kanaya. Nepeta walked between the Signless and the
Disciple. One of them had asked about Equius and now she just
wouldn't shut up. That only left Karkat and Equius at the end of
the group. Neither of them were particularly sociable, each for
their own reasons. Equius felt like the odd man out while Karkat
just hated everyone. Better now than never. He kept pass with
Equius, though he almost had to jog to do it.
"OK MORON. I DON'T USUALLY CARE ABOUT THIS BUT WHY DOES NEPETA
HATE ME? I THOUGHT SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH ME OR SOME SHIT LIKE
THAT." Of course, Karkat is the worst whisperer in the history
of everything, so even Nepeta at the front of the group could
hear him. Equius glanced down at him. Or at least he thought he
did. Gog damn shades. Couldn't see anything behind them.
"Why do you not ask her that yourself?" Apparently, Equius
wasn't going to help much. Unfortunately this was his only
choice short of talking to Nepeta himself. And he just didn't
want to.
"IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, WHENEVER I TALK TO HER SHE CHEWS
MY FUCKING HEAD OFF." Karkat whined. Ok. Now he was sure Equius
was looking at him. He could feel it.
"Are you ordering me to tell you?" He grumbled. Heck yeah! He
was going to spill the beans!!
"YES. NOW TELL YOU FUCKWAD."
Equius sighed. "She is trying to get over you."
Karkat just stared at him. "WHAT?"
"You don't understand how much she cared about you. She only
ever wanted you to be happy. Even if it wasn't with her. She
accepted that you didn't like her. That you liked Terezi. She
accepted that she could never be with you after she died. She's
been trying to move on. She was doing well in the dream bubbles.
But now she's alive, and with you. She doesn't want to fall in
love with you again. She knows she'll just get hurt. She's
pushing you away because she doesn't know what else to do."
Equius kept his voice low. Only Karkat heard him.
The red troll stared at him. "SERIOUSLY?" was all he could come
up with.
This time Equius actually stopped and looked at him. "Don't hurt
my moirail again." There wasn't much threat in his voice but he
didn't doubt that Equius would beat him to a bloody pulp if he
did. Especially if Nepeta wasn't around to stop him. Without
waiting for Karkat's response, the blue troll walked away to
catch up with his moirail.
"FUCK." He had been so caught up in the conversation he hadn't
even noticed when Nepeta had stopped talking.

Eridan sat stiff next to the Orphaner. Upon their arrival,
Dualscar had been asked to go to a dinner. As the ****s
apprentice, that meant he had to go too. He stared at the fat
purple tinted faces around him. He just wanted to rip everyone
of their ****ng faces off. It must have shown because Dualscar
leaned over to him. "Smile or else." He was smiling but his
voice spoke volumes. If he messed up tonight, Dualscar would
mess him up.
He muffled a sigh and forced himself to laugh at some ****'s bad
joke. How he hated them. How he hated Dualscar. They were going
to the market place for some shopping tomorrow. Maybe then... If
he got caught though, the old fish would kill him for sure.
Dualscar laughed loudly next to him and pulled one of the
waitresses onto his lap. Drunk. Or at least pretending to be.
The day he actually got that drunk was the day Eridan cut his
fins off. The purple bloods around him laughed and scolded
Dualscar playfully, as though he had accidentally spilled his
drink rather than molest a young troll. Eridan didnt care about
the olive blood. He just wanted to leave.
"Is it time to go Mister Dualscar sir?" He dared to speak.
Dualscar looked at him, hiccuping slightly. "WWe wwouldn't wwant
to havve to carry you back to the ship. That wwould be
embarrassing." He was so going to regret this later.
Dualscar gave a sloppy grin and looked around at the others.
"Seems like my neww apprentice is a party pooper." The others
laughed, except for one or two.
A thin woman dressed in gold and bright purple dress spoke up
once the laughter had died down. "He might be right though. You
know what too much alcohol can do to a troll." She scolded him.
The other troll put up his hands in surrender.
"Fine fine. Since you insist." Dualscar rose to his feet,
wobbling a bit. "It wwas a pleasure to see you." He turned to
leave. It was all Eridan could do not to get up and run out of
there. Instead he matched Dualscar's slow and steady stride.
With a final wave, they were out. As soon as the door shut
behind them, Eridan was thrown against the wall. Dualscar had
him held up by the shirt, his face nothing more than a few
inches away from his. It was extremely tempting to spit in his
face but that would just end up with him getting his tongue
ripped out.
"Don't evver do something like that again."
69~69~69~69~69~69
They were in the closest port city by the next evening. It was
one of the smaller one but it still dwarfed the town they had
just fled from. Even the older trolls seemed amazed at how big
it was. They made their way through the slums like they had last
time. The mixture of sea salt and other odors made Karkat's eyes
water. This time they choose a hotel at the edge of the city, so
they could escape quickly if they needed to. Fortunately, the
inside was better than the outside. They were only able to get
one room but it was in well enough shape they weren't worried
about someone getting eaten by the floor or the bed. A tiny
bathroom connected to the room and they took turns cramming
themselves into it before sitting down to talk.
"I STILL SAY THIS IS A STUPID IDEA." Karkat whined, sitting on
the edge of one of the beds. Everyone just rolled their eyes. He
had been groaning about it since they had left. It was just like
beating a dead horse. Pointless.
"We should split into teams." The Signless started. "It will
make things faster." He glanced around at the trolls. It was a
sound idea. This place was huge and it would be hard to find
them that way. Unfortunately it would also be hard to find each
other. "Kanaya, Disciple, Psiioniic, and I in one team. Karkat,
Sollux, Dolorosa, Nepeta, and Equius in another." He looked as
though he was going to continue but the Dolorosa cleared her
throat.
"I intend to stay here and make some clothes to sell so we have
money to buy food." She said. "Alright with you, fearless
leader?"
The Signless rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry mom. I forget
we actually have to do that sometimes." He said with a grin. The
Dolorosa smiled at her pet name. She waved it off and rose to
get her stuff from her bag. "Disciple can go with Karkat's group
and Sollux can come with us in that case." From there the
conversation consisted of where to look, meet up places,
Karkat's persistence of how dumb this was and more. They left
the hotel just after the mid evening meal.
The first night didnt hold much luck. Their searching led them
to a maroon blooded dancer and a troll by the name of Sekhet.
But that was it. The next night ended the same. A whole bunch of
nothing. Considering their success finding Equius, this came
across as disheartening for the young trolls.
"You shouldn't get so down about this." The Dolorosa was saying
as she counted through the money she had earned the night before
selling her wares. "This is a big place and if one of your
friends are here, you'll find them tonight. You know what they
say, third times the charm." She gave them a warm smile but a
snort from Karkat and Sollux was the only response.
The Disciple danced out of the bathroom, her eyes bright with
green makeup. "Ready?" The others had gone ahead and left a few
minutes earlier since the Disciple was in the bathroom getting
ready. The Psiioniic had complained loudly about how the
Disciple always took forever because of how much dancer paint
she put on. This earned him a good thwack from the Signless.
Their antics were increasingly amusing. The Dolorosa shoved them
out the door before the boys started a new round of slap and
tickle.
Nepeta quickly unbraided Equius's hair and they were off. The
Dolorosa followed them out but turned to head to a market
further away from the docks.
The trip to the docks was filled with chit chat. Mostly from the
Disciple about her life with the Signless. Apparently the First
Ship had been sunk not too long ago by what they assumed were
theives. They returned to it only to find it burning in the bay.
Since then they had been hoofing it like they used too. "Good
times" she said, "Good times." Karkat failed to see anything
good about it. His legs were on fire and he had the urge to chew
his own feet off. Kanaya, Sollux, and Equius weren't much
better. Though Nepeta seemed to be doing well. Probably from her
time hunting. She used to brag about how she would stalk prey
for days to kill it.
At last they reached the docks, ending the insufferable noise.
The whole place stank like dead fish, sea water and sweat. They
avoided going to close to the docks and mostly focused on a
large nearby fish market. Even then, they had to be careful
about who saw them. The majority of the trolls were low bloods
and that could get them into real trouble if they weren't
careful. The day slowly passed and they were just about ready to
give up when Nepeta spotted something.
The smaller troll had been riding on Equius's back. Her excuse
was to see better but we all know that's not why she was up
there. She tugged on the taller trolls horns, turning him with a
grunt. He didnt really seem to ,ind though. He was STRONG like
that. "Look!" She chirped, pointing at a scarily familiar hair
do. There was only one troll with hair like that.
Karkat followed her finger to the young troll, who was yelling
at a fisherman. "****. NOT THAT ****." Though he didn't put it
the same way as Karkat, Equius had to agree. It just had to be
him. Eridan. The Disciple turned and looked as well. She flipped
back through her book just to make sure but it had already been
confirmed by the younger trolls reaction.
"It is one of your friends! Let's go." She started to walk off
but a groan from Karkat stopped her.
"CAN'T WE JUST LEAVE HIM?" Again, Equius agreed. Nepeta hadn't
taken her eyes off of Eridan nice she had first seen him, even
when Equius turned. She saw when Eridan turned his face too. She
suddenly leaped off of Equius and ran towards Eridan. Something
beyond weird considering she didn't get along with him. With a
'****' from Karkat, the other three trolls ran after her.
Appearently this was going to be a regular thing.
The little troll was fast and by the time they caught up to her,
she was already in the middle of a conversation with Eridan. Now
that they were up close, Karkat could see why Nepeta had run
towards him. A bright purple nruise flowered on the right side
of his face. Normally Karkat would have said that he started a
fight but based on how much the sea dweller avoided the subject,
that was not the case.
"You should come with us." Nepeta said with a smile. "We'll find
Feferi and-"
"Wwhat? Go wwith you losers? I'll kindly pass. Wwouldn't wwant
to be seen wwith you. It wwould mess wwith my rep." The finned
jackass explained, crossing his arms over his chest.
"REP? YOU DON'T HAVE A REP YOU WATER LOGGED PILE OF EXCREMENTS."
Karkat had arrived!
Eridan met him with a steely glare. "You'd better wwatch it land
dwweller." he spat the word like some kind of offensive slur. "I
havve a lot more powwer here than before. I could havve you
executed if I wwanted." Karkat just rolled his eyes. "I don't
wwanna go anywwhere wwith you and I'm not gonna. It'd be best
for all of us if you just got the **** awway. And for your
informa-" he froze. A loud voice screamed 'boy'. "Ok. Lets go."
Eridan quickly finished, ushering the trolls away.
"WHAT THE **** ARE YOU IN SUCH A HURRY ABOUT?" Karkat glanced
back at the slowly panicking troll. A dark shadow passed over
Eridan's eyes. If whatever it was caused him to act like that,
it had to be bad.
"Dualscar." he muttered. At the sound of the name, the Disciple
whirled and stared at Eridan with wide eyes.
"The Orphaner?"
"Yes. And the wway he treat me, a felloww seadwweller, I can
only imagine wwhat he wwould do to you and your pals." The
Disciple immediately walked faster, the younger trolls following
her lead. They arrived at the meeting place a good five minutes
before they were supposed to. Now it was just a waiting game.
The others arrived with heads down. They hadn't found anything.
The Disciple made her way to the Signless as they got closer.
Sollux caught wind of who they'd found and by the look on his
face, he wasn't happy. The two groups slowly moved towards each
other until they were one again. Of course Eridan began
pestering Sollux immediately.
The whole short walk back to the hotel was filled with
discussion and the two boys arguements. Karkat could feel his
head screwing off his shoulders. He was so happy when they
finally made it to the room they had been sharing. The Dolorosa
had her back turned when they came in. She was carefully
arranging packets of food in their bags so everything would fit.
"Signless, I was able to get those lusus shaped crackers you
like so much." she said cheerily. A soft blush crept across the
trolls face.
"Mom. We need to go." He said, brushing away his slight
embarrassment. The Dolorosa turned to look at him but found her
gaze drawn to Eridan's bright streak. With a sigh she closed up
the bags.
"Dualscar I presume." she said, getting to her feet. Signless
looked surprised. How did she...? "I've come across him before.
I know what he looks like." she passed the packs to their
respected owners. With her cloak slung across herself, she
strode out of the room. Not knowing what else to do, they just
headed out after her. That sure was interesting.
)-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-(
Feferi walked down the stinking alley way, her hand tightly over
her nose. She was very lost and very scared. She knew she
shouldn't be. Whenever someone got a good look at the symbol and
tiara, they immediately bowed to her, something she didn't much
like by the way. But this place gave her the hebe jeebies. Or
maybe that was just the smell.
She couldn't help but wonder where she was and what had
happened. She remembered hanging out with Nepeta and then she
was in her hive. Only it wasn't her hive. It was ten times more
glamorized and glitterfied than hers ever would be. She left in
a panic only to come across two adult guards. They let her
through of course but it had freaked her out. She'd headed
towards land as soon as she was in the clear and had been
wondering around since. She didn't know where she was or how far
inland she had come. All she knew was that she wanted to see a
familiar face badly. She could feel tears well up in her eyes
when they came.
It was almost as though they came out of nowhere, though she had
a sneaking suspicion that they had been following her for a
while. All of the sudden she was surrounded by several yellow
bloods. She tried to tell them who she was but her cries fell on
deaf ears. They didn't care who she was and appearently no one
else around here did either.
When she whipped out her 3X2 trident, it just seemed to make
things worse. They oohed and ahed but that was it. A few small
trolls came out of the shadows behind the larger ones. With a
smirk they started sparking and their eyes glowed, though
nothing compared to what she had seen Sollux do. They reached
out towards her and she could feel herself being shoved down.
When she fought back though, their smirks disappeared. She
wasn't going down without a fight. The battle wasn't easy and
both sides ended up sweating. But a punch to her gut and a blast
from them sent her to the ground. Her eyes closed against the
pain. It felt as though they were going to crush her.
Even though her lungs felt like they might be failing, her ears
weren't. She heard two hard thumps and a lot of gasps and
cusses. The pressure on her lifted after a few more thwacks and
when she opened her eyes, she'd never been so happy to see
another troll in her life!
"T-ER--EZI!!!"

Re: Another Fanfic. WARNING:: SADSTUCK
By: Spotteh Date: August 2, 2013, 10:34 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks had passed since then. The group moved from place to
place, looking for any leads for the missing trolls, one in
particular. Eridan wasn't as out of place as Equius for whatever
reason. Until he tried to hit on the Disciple and got a bruise
on his left cheek to match the one on his right. They quickly
fell into a routine. Get up in the evening, pack everything up,
walk until their feet felt like they would fall off, set up
camp, and watch everyone bicker and mess with each other. Things
had been very quiet and almost peaceful, in it's own weird way.
Karkat could almost start to understand how they managed to do
this without eating each other. Almost.
"Where Did Eridan Go?" Kanaya asked one morning after the
evening meal. Now that see mentioned it, the seadweller hadn't
been seen all evening.
"maybe he ran away and ii2n't comiing back." Sollux offered with
a smirk.
"You wwish." Eridan came walking out of the bushes, pulling
twigs out of his hair. Somehow it still had that slicked back
look, even though they didn't have any hair gel. "I decided I
wwanted some reel company and wwent ovver to that vvillage on
the other side of the hill." He sat down next to Sollux, despite
the yellow blood's protests. "I also found Tavv." He seemingly
finished. He leaned over and made an attempt at Solllux's food.
Naturally the two began quarreling. After about a minute of a
twitchy Karkat watching them, he had enough.
"WOULD YOU TWO GARGANTUAN IMBECILES LIKE TO STOP YOUR ****ING
HATE LOVE CUDDLING AND TELL ME WHERE THE HELL TAVROS IS?" He
shouted.
The two stopped mid-squable. Eridan was being held up by
Sollux's legs, his arms were too busy trying to keep his food
away from Eridan's grabbing hands. It was amazing that the food
was still on the nutrition plateau. "He's twwo towwns ovver."
Eridan supplied.
"FANTASTIC. HOW THE **** DID YOU FIND THIS OUT WHILE WE
COULDN'T? DID A MAGIC PIXIE COME DOWN AND **** THE ANSWER IN
YOUR EAR??" He was going to be twitching for a while.
"I asked you dumb****." Eridan shot back with a glare.
"ha! more liike you threatened to blow theiir head2 off wiith
that 2tupiid wand of your2 iif they diidn't tell you." Sollux
snarked. A well place punch from Eridan caught him right in the
mouth. The desired plateau of food flipped, dumping it into the
dirt. Sollux stared at it. "that wa2 my food 2hiithead." He
grabbed Eridan's horn to bring him closer for a good hit.
Kanaya finished up her own food and patted the area around her
mouth clean with a napkin. Rising to her feet, she pulled out
her lipstick. After applying a good coat of green, she turned it
into her chainsaw and moved over to the two fighting trolls. The
boys looked up at her and managed to dodge just in time for her
to bring her chainsaw down between them. The heavy blade quickly
made a rut in the ground. Sollux and Eridan shared similar
expressions, staring at the hunk of metal that would have taken
their arms off. Kanaya took turns glaring at the two. They
simaltaniously brought their hands up in surrender. "We're
done."
Satisfied, Kanaya capped her lipstick and returned to her seat.
There was a moment of silence as everyone stared at her. The
looks varied from 'holy shiz' to 'I think I love you'. You could
practically see the sparkles in the Dolorosa's eyes.
The Signless cleared his throat, pulling the focus away from the
jade troll. "I think this time just you youngsters should go."
This was a bit of a surprize. So far there had always been an
adult with them when they went to towns, most likely to keep the
young trolls safe. Guess Kanaya had changed that.
"It Would Be More Efficient That Way." She commented. Karkat had
to admit, he could do with some time away from the ancestors.
They got along well enough but not that well. Sounds of
agreement passed around the camp, and Eridan boasted that with
him around they would have to worry about anything. He was
probably right too. Now they just had to get there.
69~69~69~69~69~69
It took about three days to get there, the town were further
apart than they had anticipated. Once they got close enough, the
adults set up the camp a good ways out of the town and the kids
headed to look for their friend. This time they were more open
about their doings. They weren't the ones who were wanted by
most of Alternia after all. Out of all of them, Eridan was
actually the most helpful. Whenever one of the blue bloods, got
snappy or just flat out ignored them, the sea dweller would come
along, say a few words, and they would do whatever he asked. No
wonder he was such a snob. But at least he was a helpful snob.
Kanaya was the one to spot their friend this time. She almost
didn't recognize him, it was those massive horns that gave him
away. He stood in a line of other bronze-bloods, shackled, and
dressed in rags. They had given him longer pants than the
others, to hide his mechanical legs. Bronze showed around his
wrists where the irons fit too tightly. Dark brown bruises
covered his face and flowered down his bare chest. His head was
bowed, but it was obvious how miserable he was. A cerulean guard
sat to one side, a heavy club resting in his lap.
Nepeta saw her friend next and she was angry to say the least.
She nearly stormed over there but Kanaya stopped her with a hand
on the shoulder. The two girls moved forwards at a slow pace,
Nepeta trying very hard to stay in control. Eventually they came
to a stop in front of their friend. Tavros shifted a bit but
didn't look up. Kanaya moved up and down the line a little bit,
as though she were picking one of the trolls out, before coming
to a stop in front of Tavros again. The guard just watched
without saying anything. When Equius came to see what was going
on, the older troll suddenly got interested in them.
"Can I help you three with anything?" The guard asked, getting
up and walking over.
"How Much?" Kanaya put on a graceful air that made her come
across older than she really was. Equius just stood there
looking confused. When Kanaya spoke, Tavros immediately
stiffened. The smile the guard had painted on fell, leaving a
cruel frown in its place.
"This **** blood?" He sneered. "He's not much. Got an ugly mug
too." the troll yanked Tavros's head up by his horn. He looked
even worse close. It looked as though someone had broken his
nose and he had a large lump n his head. The worst part was his
expression. He was absolutely terrified. When he caught sight of
his friends though he relaxed.
He took a quick step forward "Ne-" A hard from the guards club
sent him back. That was more than enough to set Nepeta off. The
cat girl lunged at the guard, her claws out. She would have got
him too if Equius hadn't grabbed onto the back of her coat. She
did manage to make the larger troll take a few steps back
however. He came back in force.
"Get out of here!" he yelled, waving his club around and almost
clipping Kanaya in the head. The three younger trolls backed
away quickly, though Nepeta insisted she could take him with one
claw tied behind her back. Equius managed to calm her down
pretty quickly once they had gotten a safe distance away. Kanaya
tapped her finger against her lip. It was obvious she was trying
to think of another plan, since that one had failed beautifully.
Karkat and Sollux were on the otherside of the market place
though she wasn't sure how useful they would be. And Eridan had
seperated himself from the others a while ago.
Speak of the devil and he shall come. A commotion at the end of
the street caused the three trolls to turn. And there was
Eridan, strutting down the street like he owned it. Everyone
moved out of his way and the cerulean guard stood at attention
as he came closer. He sure was surprised when Eridan came to a
stop in front of him. Kanaya and the others could barely hear
the guard as he asked how he could help the purple blood. Eridan
on the other hand was easily heard.
"WWhat do you think I'm here for? I need a slavve!" Eridan
degraded the older troll.
The guard fumbled a bit. By now Nepeta, Kanaya, and Equius had
relocated to a side street out of the way but where they could
listen and watch the scene before them without it being too
obvious. "What are you looking for sir?" The guard asked. It was
obvious he was both nervous and honored.
"I need a lifter. Something nice and sturdy." it was like they
were talking about furniture rather than a living being. The
guard took Eridan down the line of trolls, pointing out the
larger trolls and talking them up. They stopped in front of
Tavros as well. It made sense. The years in his four wheeled
device gave him strong arms and a good torso. At least he wasnt
a complete idiot. Once they had gone down the entire line,
Eridan paced back and forth down the line, making his choices.
The guard stood to the side, almost patiently waiting for the
highblood's decision. After a few minutes of fussing over the
other trolls, Eridan came to a stop in front of Tavros.
"This one." He announced loudly. The guard hurried to Tavros and
disconnected him from the line of trolls and passed his chains
to Eridan.
"That will be 1,200, sir." The cerulean dished out the price
easily. It was much too high for lowblood trolls to afford but
fairly cheap if you were a sea dweller. Rather than pull out
some cash like the guard had expected, Eridan waved it away.
"I'll have someone pay you later." The guard snatched the chains
out of Eridan's hands before he could blink.
"Sorry sir. Pay now or no slave." He said firmly. You could
practically see the seadweller puff up with anger.
"Excuse me? Excuse me!?" He shouted. "You don't seem to
understand wwho I am! I am the ****in' apprentice of the
Orphaner Dualscar! WWho wwill be here in twwo days! I'll havve
your head for this disrespect." The guard's face paled at the
absent troll's name. It was too late though. Eridan had already
stormed off. It didn't take him long to decide he'd rather have
the seadweller on his side, whether he was telling the truth or
not. He ran after Eridan, pulling Tavros along with him.
"Wait! I'll wait for someone else." The guard gave. Eridan just
increased his pace. "I'll give him to you for free!" Not even a
blink from the purple blood. The guard was getting really
desperate now. He would be in big trouble with his boss if he
managed to mess up a sell with such a prestigious troll.
Especially [s]that[/s] prestigious troll. "I'll give you one of
our best! And this one!" Eridan finally came to a stop, giving
his follower a solid glare.
"This better be good." Was his only warning. The guard hastily
passed the chains to Eridan and ran down the street to the line
of slaves. He soon returned with a pretty, young female troll.
Her long black hair was pulled back into a bun and her horns
resembled snake fangs sticking out of her head. Everything about
her was long and thin, but tough and strong at the same time.
She really was pretty. She stared at the dirt ground silently.
"She's from one of the private stocks. And she does quiet a
dance, if you get what I'm saying." You could practically see
the young troll shake next to her blue blooded captor. Eridan
looked her over, carefully taking note of her looks.
"Fine. Wwe havve a deal." Two keys later and Eridan was walking
down the street with two bronze blood slaves. He turned at their
hiding spot.
"And that's howw you buy a slavve." He snapped at Kanaya on his
way by. Nepeta couldn't help it. She leaned back and let out a
'whaaaat', spreading her hands like she'd seen Dave do before.
Equius quickly shooshed her.
"Credit Where Credit Is Due." was Kanaya's answer. Eridan pulled
Tavros and the other troll into the ally before letting them
loose. It was scary to see how banged up their friend was and
Nepeta took overexagerated care when giving him a hug. The girl
merely stood there looking very confused through this whole
reunion.
"uH, tHANKS GUYS, i REALLY DIDN'T, uM, eXPECT THAT FROM YOU
eRIDAN." Tavros mumbled, rubbing the back of his head. Eridan
just grumbled something about going to find Karkat and the
others and getting out of there. His version of a sincere 'don't
mention it'. The girl was thoroughly confused now. How did this
bronze-blood, this slave troll, know a seadweller well enough to
call him by his first name? Nepeta came to her rescue and
quickly explained that they were all old friends that they were
going to meet up with some other friends. The girl just stared,
switching between the sweet cat girl and everyone else.
"What's your name?" the olive troll purred happily. The troll
immediately ducked her head, it seemed that this was a habit
hers. Not surprising, seeing how she had been treated.
"My name is Sheyan." She answered quietly. It was a good thing
Nepeta had good hearing. Equius called Nepeta to alert her that
they were going. She ran at him and with two quick moves was
happily settled on top of her shoulders where she could see the
world.
It took a while for their group to find Karkat and Sollux. When
they did find them though, they weren't surprised. They sat in
some booth playing a board game. Karkat was beside himself with
the insults he was coming up with in his losing glory. Sollux
just sat there, smirking as he whopped the red troll's butt to
Earth and back.
Karkat glanced up at their visiters with his usually grumpy
look. Until he saw Tavros's sorry condition. Then that look
became wide eyed. "HOLY **** TAVROS. YOU LOOK LIKE A PILE OF
**** LEFT OUT IN THE SUN THEN STAMPED ON BY THE DISGUSTING
INFECTED FOOT OF A HOOFBEAST AND THEN CRAPPED ON REPEATEDLY BY A
CONSTIPATED WOOFBEAST." Tavros mumbled in agreement but Sheyan
cracked up at the troll's interesting statement, drawing
attention to herself. "WHO THE **** IS THIS NOOKSUCKER? WE DON'T
NEED MORE FLEA RIDDEN STRAYS. YOU KNUCKLE DRAGGING IMBECILES ARE
ENOUGH." This sent her into another flurry of giggles. Kanaya
took care of explaining for the girl as she was too busy
laughing to introduce herself. With some more grumblings from
Karkat and bickering between Sollux and Eridan, the young trolls
were soon out of the town and heading to camp.
However interesting it was to find Karkat and Sollux, returning
to the camp was even better. The Psiioniic had rigged up a
glitter cannon at the entrance of Signless's and Disciple's
tent. It was meant as a prank for the Disciple. As soon as she
opened the tent, she'd be covered in her olive green eye makeup.
The Signless got there first. Now the red blooded troll was
chasing around the Psiioniic, looking like a giant olive. The
Disciple was lying on the ground, watching them with the biggest
grin they had ever seen. The Dolorosa had disappeared somewhere,
most likely going to fill up the water basket. Probably a good
thing too. They were going to be in big trouble when she got
back.
The Psiioniic was floating around, dragging the Signless, who
was holding onto his foot for all he was worth. Nepeta fell into
a flurry of giggles while most of the others just stood with
their mouths hanging open. Karkat responded with his usual
comment.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL **** ARE YOU DOING!?" The Disciple glanced over
her shoulder but didn't say anything. The Psiioniic came to a
stop and stared at the group of young trolls; so did the
Signless but he insisted on having the final word in their
argument and gave the yellow blood a good tug, causing him to
fall to the ground. "SWEET MOTHER GRUB'S OOZING VESTIGIAL THIRD
SPHINCTER. HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE BE SO STUPID?" Facepalm X2 Combo!
"He started it." Was all the Signless had to say. This show of
unbelievable stupidity shocked Karkat into submission.
"FINE. YOU CAN ALL ACT LIKE BRAINDEAD ASSWIPES IN YOUR OWN
FESTERING POCKET FLAP OF ALTERNIA. I DON'T CARE." He stomped off
to his tent. Everyone just stared at him as he left, the older
trolls looking rather embarrassed.
"I suppose that was a bit foolish." The Signless admitted.
"You think?" The Dolorosa had returned. Both the Signless and
Psiioniic paled and Disciple held back giggles. She had arrived
during Karkat's little rant and was now standing with her hands
on her hips, not far away from the boys.
While the Dolorosa dealt with the boys, the Disciple rose to her
feet and made her way over to the group, Tavros and Sheyan in
particular.
"Come with me. I'll fix you up." She said with a sweet smile.
They obliged happily and Nepeta followed them to one of the
tents.
69~69~69~69~69~69
Karkat sat on the hard ground of the tent, grumbling profanities
and rubbing his head. A laugh from behind sent him reeling to
find the source. When he turned, he spotted the faint outline of
one red cool kid.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT, DOUCHENOZZLE?" He growled.
"You." Dave seemed to be stronger than last time. He wasn't as
fuzzy and hard to understand as he was last time. Karkat still
eyed him like he was a slitherbeast ready to strike or
something.
"WHERE ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU LIKE THAT?"
"I'm right here. Now at least. I'm stuck in time." He sat back
on some invisible object.
"WHAT DOES THAT SHIT EVEN MEAN?"
"Stuff you wouldn't understand. You're going the wrong way."
Karkat almost didn't catch the last few words. Dave was starting
to flicker more.
"FOR WHAT?"
"To find Aradia. You need to... Fix it."
"FIX WHAT YOU SHITHEAD. YOU'RE NOT BEING VERY HELPFUL." Karkat
was getting irritated.
"No. You... Her so we can fix... shit." He knew he was
flickering pretty bad now.
"WELL WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE MISTER FANTASTIC MAGIC TIME MAN." He
growled, grinding his teeth together.
"Don't know... Just that... Over... Watch out..." With a final
flicker he was gone. Karkat let out a frustrated shout. Why was
everything so complicated?
69~69~69~69~69~69
One lecture, two makeovers, and a clean pair of leggings later,
the trolls were around the fire eating. Tavros and Sheyan were
eating the most, expessially Tavros. Both were wearing some old
black clothes but the Dolorosa promised that she would make them
better fitting ones soon. The two just seemed happy to free
again. Each of them had bandages around their wrists and other
places, and the Signless seemed to avoid looking at them. Every
time he glanced at the white scraps, an inexplainable fury fell
across his face.
Karkat had already explained what he had seen with Dave and they
were trying to decide which way to go. The Signless had been
relatively quiet for much of the conversation. At last he said
something.
"There's someone farther east I think we should visit." He said
in a pause in the conversation. The Disciple seemed to know who
he was talking about and made a face. Which the Signless caught,
naturally. "I thought you liked her."
"Yes. But she likes you a little too much fur my liking." She
answered. The Signless tossed his arm over her shoulder and
pulled her closer.
"Do I sense a bit of jealously?" A joking grin played across his
lips. The Disciple gave him a soft punch but didn't move away.
"INTERUPTING THIS DISGUSTING SHOW OF AFFECTION, WHO?" Karkat
grouched.
"Just a Miss Neophyte Redglare."

Re: Another Fanfic. WARNING:: SADSTUCK

---------------------------------------------------------
The next evening was interesting to say the least. It started
off with a girlish screech from Tavros's tent. Since Karkat's
tent was the closest, he and Sollux were the first ones to get
there, followed by everyone else. They were met with the sight
of Tavros holding a blanket to his chest and Sheyan passed out
on the other side of the tent. In between the two low bloods was
Vriska, laying on her side with her ever present smirk. She was
dressed up in her Mindfang costume. The female troll must have
thought she was an intruder, which technically she was, and
tried to fight her.
Upon the arrival of the others, she waggled her fingers in their
direction. "Helloooooooo every8ody." There are no words to
describe the mix of sheer exasperation, frustration, and
what-the-****-ation on Karkat's face.
"**** VRISKA!" he shrieked before stomping off.
The cerulean blood got to her feet. "Whaaaaaaaat? Don't you want
to talk to your favor8 pir8?"
Karkat stopped half way to his tent. "I DON'T HAVE A FAVORITE
PIRATE!! AND IF I DID, IT SURE AS **** WOULDN'T BE YOU!!" he
finished his storm off quickly before she could say anything
else to drag him back in. She was good at that. Once he had
gone, Vriska put on a pouty face for a bit before glancing down
at a certain cat girl.
"Nepeta."
"Vriska."
"I see you're still short."
"I see you're still a spider witch."
"You know it." the two grinned at each other, though it looked
more like a giant spider and a cat sizing each other up. Almost
like how Eridan and Sollux looked at each other from time to
time. Wait a second...
"i, uH, wASNT EXPECTING TO SEE YOU vRISKA." Tavros studdered,
coming up behind her.
"You can say that again, Pupa." she snarked without turning
around. "Signy. Rosie." She shot imaginary guns at the older
trolls as she walked past. "Where's the food? I'm hungry."
The older trolls just stared at her. What the heck was going on?
And who was that? The group, with the exception of Equius and
Nepeta, followed after her, leaving Sheyan moaning on the
ground.
69~69~69~69~69~69
Karkat had to give them credit. Despite Vriska's sudden - and
dramatic - appearance, which had freaked him out, they had
accepted her pretty quickly. They were skeptical of her though.
They had heard some of the stories about Vriska and didn't know
whether to trust her or not. That wasn't much of a surprise. No
one knew whether to trust her or not. But for now, her charms
had won them over. Wonder how long that would last.
Since her arrival about a day ago, they had managed to cover a
good bit of land, despite them stopping early to start to really
get to know each other, and managed to lose Sheyan. The bronze
troll had simply disappeared in one of the towns. They might
have been more worried if they hadn't gotten to know her some
during their short time together. And the fact that most of the
younger trolls didn't really care.
By the time they reached the right city at the end of the third
day, they were ready to drop. Tavros expessially. He was still
messed up from his time with the slave drivers. It had been
interesting when Vriska asked about them. She told him to tell
her the names of the trolls who had hurt him so she could beat
the crap out of them. Of course this was after she told him to
grow a pair, a phrase Karkat was sure she picked up from Dave.
Nepeta spazzed over her ship come true. Karkat just didn't give
a flying ****. They were wasting time. They forced themself to
find a safe hotel, which was actually the first hotel they came
to, before totally blacking out. They split into two small rooms
and with all the trolls, it wasn't exactly comfortable all the
time. Everyone was too busy snoring to complain.
Karkat was actually one of the last ones to wake up this time,
because when he did, everyone was talking about the plan of
action. From what he understood, the Signless and the Disciple
were going to visit while the rest stayed here. Signless had a
feeling that they would find another of their friends and asked
Nepeta and Karkat to go with them. The red troll just wanted to
stay here and relax for once. It wasn't easy being a leader you
know! The hiss fit he put up almost made them leave him, but he
came along anyway, griping the entire walk over. Karkat wasn't
the only one griping this time though.
At some point in time, the Disciple had come across a beggar and
gave them a large amount of the money she had with them. This
didn't go over well with Signless, surprisingly.
"You didn't have to give him that much!"
"He needed it more than we do! I can always make it back if you
want."
The Signless let out an exasperated sigh. "That's not the
problem."
"Then what's the problem? Me being kind? I thought you liked
kindness not cruelty."
"I do. And I love your generosity. But I swear it will starve us
all." After that Karkat just drowned out the conversation. It
was a stupid conversation anyways. Nepeta had been quiet for the
most part but the cheery kind not the tear-your-head-off kind.
That, at least, came as a relief. The grump would never make her
mad. Ever. He was too scared what she'd do if he did.
Karkat had just asked for the millionth time if they were there
yet when a door swung open, nearly smacking the Signless in the
face. The weirdest troll Karkat had ever seen came out of said
building. The she troll had four horns placed like a compass on
her head, robotic limbs and even a robotic eye. The young troll
just stared as she skipped out. "Later Red!" She called before
disappearing down the street.
"We're here." Signless announced, pulling the door farther back
so he could go inside. The grumpy look on the Disciple's face
confirmed this. Karkat's face resembled her's when he looked
inside.
The building was actually an office building, painted teal with
candy red accents. There weren't many accents since that wasn't
the safest color for now but it was definitely there. Book
shelves lined almost every wall and a desk covered with file
folders was tucked cozily in one corner. And right smack in the
middle of the red plush furniture stood Neophyte Redglare,
wearing the same shark grin as Terezi. Gog dammit.
Redglare ignored them until everyone was in and the door was
firmly shut. Then things got loud. Turning on her heals, the
troll opened her arms and met Signless with a tight hug. "You
finally visit me, you elusive ****!" She cheered. The Disciple's
face was comical. The Signless pulled her away, keeping his
hands on her shoulders. "It's good to see you again." He turned
her towards the others. "You remember the Disciple." The two
exchanged awkward hellos. Apparently it took a while for them to
warm up to each other. "And this is Nepeta and Karkat."
"Why's he look like a lusus crawled up his ass and died?"
"I'd tell you if I knew." He moved away and sat on one side of
the red love seat. The Disciple took the one next to him. Karkat
just stood there with fire eyes and growled at everyone.
Redglare walked over to a set of roped off stairs on one side of
the room. "Yo! Mini me!" She called up the stairs. "I got
something you might be interested in!" A loud bang and several
thuds followed after.
"I hope it's another murder!" Terezi cackled as she turned into
the corner into the room. Her face fell when she spotted Karkat.
"I'd rather have a case."
That got Karkat going of course. "WHAT THE **** DOES THAT MEAN?
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER THIS FESTERING **** COVERED ROCK FOR
YOU AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY? YOU GINORMOUS WAD OF-" He
cut off when Terezi burst out laughing. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY MISS
LAUGH PANTS?"
"You're too easy Karkles." She gave him a pat on the shoulder
before getting a larger than life hug from Nepeta. The Signless
meanwhile was having an epiphany.
"Karkles?" He tried it out. And liked it. "Karkles."
Karkat face palmed. "OH GOG."
"Karkles!"
"NO! NOT FROM YOU!"
"Karkles!!"
"NO!" The Signless started laughing loudly. Add in Karkat
shrieking 'no' and cuss words, Terezi and Redglare sharing the
same cackle in one corner, and the occasional meow from one of
the Leijons and you had chaos. A high pitched squeal was added
to this lovely mixture as Karkat was pulled into a rather sudden
hug by some unknown person. He was quickly released and went
spinning on his heels to find out who it was. Feferi stared at
him with big eyes.
"I'm sorry. I'm just. I'm so EXICT--ED to see you here!" She
hugged Karkat once more, only to release as quick as she did
last time. Nepeta was next in the hugging line but the Signless
was distracting him. The older troll's mouth hung wide open.
He'd eat a bug that way. The Disciple mirrored his shock with
eyes the size of oranges.
"Uh...Redglare..." He waved back and forth between the older
troll and Feferi, looking largely like an idiot.
"She's good." The legislancerator answered with a chuckle. "I
found her a while ago getting her ass handed to her by a group
of psionics. Hasn't left here since."
Their conversation drew the seadweller's attention. She stared
at the Signless until it finally clicked who he was. When it
did, she immediately left her conversation with Nepeta to talk
with him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Signless! This is so
-EXCITING! I've been a fan for a long time. I just LOV--E the
effort you put forth to change the caste system!" At some point
during her fangirling, she picked up his hand and started
shaking it. The Signless just sat there like someone had
repeatedly slapped him with a fish. Consider his mind blown.
After a long pause of her staring at him, he finally responded.
"Um. Thank you?" Wow. What a fantastic response.
Redglare helped him out and asked what he was here for. "Well.
We were looking for them." He gestured at Terezi and Feferi.
"I'd like to speak while I'm here though. How do things stand?"
"Mostly teal bloods to worry about. A few cerulean bloods but
they're easy to avoid." The conversation dissolved into
planning, which Karkat drowned out. He didn't get what the big
deal was. Or more accurately, he didn't really care. Instead he
was counting who all they had gathered together in their time
being here. Almost all of his friends. The only ones who were
missing now were Aradia and Gamzee. Who were their ancestors?
The Signless getting to his feet broke into his thoughts. "I
can't wait Redglare. It's always a pleasure seeing you again."
Thank ****. They were finally leaving. When he got to his feet
to head back to the hotel, Nepeta got up with him, followed by
the Disciple. By now, the Disciple and Redglare had made nice.
Er. The two were standing around trading stories about
experiences on the road. If they talked like Nepeta and Terezi
did then they would never get out of here. Finally the Signless
got them to leave after the Disciple shared a particularly
embarrassing story about him including a banana and a moving
cart. Karkat hadn't been listening to that either. It was
stupid.
He spend the entire trip back trying to remember who Aradia's
and Gamzee's ancestors were. It just wouldn't come to him!
Signless and Disciple's bicker battle wasn't helping. And
neither did the always loud conversation between Nepeta and
Feferi. Gosh those girls could talk! Fortunately it wasn't long
until they were back. Ok not really. When Feferi reviled
herself, chaos unfolded. Both Sollux and Eridan got up at the
same time, and immediately got into a fight over who would hug
her first. Feferi tried to auspisize but that just made things
louder. Nepeta was jumping on Equius, the two arguing about his
game playing skills. Meanwhile the Signless and Disciple were
explaining to the Psiioniic, the Dolorosa, and Kanaya their
plans for the next few days. And for whatever reason, Vriska and
Tavros had disappeared. There's only so much insanity even
Karkat can take.
"WOULD YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER
SOMETHING!" The room grew silent as his voice over powered
everyone else's as only his voice could. Every eye in the room
turned and stared at him. "GOG!!" It was silent for a moment
before a laugh broke it like the fourth wall.
"Dude. You're just sad." Dave said. Naturally the little troll
wheeled on him hissing.
"I SAID SHUT UP DIDN'T I?? OR ARE YOU SO SPECIAL IT DOESN'T
APPLY TO YOU? BESIDES, WHO ARE YOU TO TALK? YOU'RE A FUCKING
TIME GHOST... THING!" The last word shot out like a torpedo.
Meaning he couldn't come up for a better word for it.
"Well time ghost thing found Gamzee." He shot back. Signless
intervened before Karkat said something else rude and loud.
"What are you?" Ok. So that was still kind of rude but at least
it wasn't loud! Dolorosa shook a finger at him for his manners.
"S'up old Karkat. I am Lord Hsitkehos from planet Shdelnfi. It's
nice to meet you." His face was perfectly serious when he said
this.
"DAVE."
"My nickname is Dave because Lord Hsitkehos is a huge pain in
the ass to say. Under my hood I have tenticals covering my head.
Wanna see?" He acted as though he was going to pull down his god
tier hood.
"DAVE!"
"No thank you...?" The Signless and the rest of the older trolls
were so completely confused some of the younger trolls couldn't
help but chuckle. If Terezi had come with them rather than
staying with Redglare, she would have been laughing her tush
off. Dave flicked it down anyways revealing his blond hair.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT!" Karkat growled.
"Nope. But look at their faces." He gestured at the adult trolls
and huge grin on his face. That had been fun. They were still
looking like a bunch of five year olds who didn't know how to
use a tv remote yet.
With a sigh, Karkat introduced the red time man to those who
didn't know him. "THIS IS DAVE. HE IS AN INSUFFERABLE PRICK. NOW
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?" The last bit was for the time man
himself.
"I wouldn't mind something to eat..." Karkat grumped at him.
"Just here to remind you what you're supposed to be doing."
"WHY SHOULD WE? WE'VE DRAGGED OUR SORRY ASSES ALL ACROSS
ALTERNIA. WE DESERVE A BREAK!" Ok. He didn't really give a crap
about that though he was tired. He wanted to get out of here as
soon as possible but for the sake of annoying Dave...
"You're a horrible liar."
"SHUT UP!" He fell silent for a moment. "SO WHERE IS HE?"
"Oh you already know." He seemed to be looking at Karkat but
behind those glasses, who knows. "Don't you Signless?"
Karkat turned to watch the older troll who was staring guiltily
at the floor. And then he remembered. Gamzee's ancestor was the
Grand Highblood.
lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno-lno
A young troll quickly ran down one of the many dark hallways.
She regretted the day she ever offered to work for the Grand
Highblood. It was supposedly an honor. But this, this was just
terrifying. The entire castle was a maze and stank of death. And
the halls always always echoed with the sounds of the monstrous
troll, whether it was his shrieking howls that peeled paint off
the walls or the horrible horrible laughter. Now, she wanted
out. Out out out! Telling him this was the worst thing she could
have done. She had just escaped during the day. He would never
miss her.
The walls seemed to get closer and closer together. Everything
looked the same! She could still hear it, even here, after all
the running she had done. The laughter. It bounced off every
surface and embedded itself into her brain, like some disgusting
parasite. And now there were two. She was going to die. She was
going to die. She knew it. All it took was that one wrong turn
in this huge labyrinth. She'd come so close already. She saw his
shadow everywhere. Even the little one. Oh gog. Oh gog. Oh gog.
She could here two sets of footsteps now. Ohgogohgogohgog! The
laughter just got louder and louder, over lapping like some
horrible symphony.
Throughout the castle the laughter stop, a high pitched scream
in it's place. Only to begin once more. The Dark Carnival was
always open here.
