       The next night... they did nothing. Or rather, nothing Karkat
       viewed as important. Vriska and Tavros still hadn't shown up
       again and the adults were running around like peck beasts with
       their heads cut off. The Dolorosa had run off early in the
       evening after making what seemed like a thousand hats and
       scarfs. The Psiioniic was out with Redglare scoping out sites
       for the speech, while Signless and Disciple were busy making the
       actual speech. Appearantly the Signless had horrible spelling so
       the Disciple had to spell check everything he wrote. Fortunately
       they had a lot of paper stored up. The younger trolls did
       nothing however. They had nothing to do! Feferi, Nepeta, and
       Equius had formed a braiding line, Feferi in the back and Equius
       at the front of it doing nothing but arguing with Nepeta every
       now and again. Ever since they had been reunited, Feferi and
       Nepeta had never stopped talking even once. It was like an
       endless mindless drowning in the red troll's ears. It made him
       want to take the Signless's pen and stab himself in his ear.
       And for whatever reason Dave had stuck around as well this time.
       Still looking like a glitching husk top screen. Still cutting
       out every now and then. And still as annoying as ever. But as
       unbelievably annoying as he was, Karkat still kind of wanted to
       meet alone with him and vent some of this ****. Unfortunately
       Terezi had popped by earlier this morning with Redglare and
       hadn't left. She and Dave were talking and drawing together.
       They had been all morning and Karkat was just too insecure to go
       over and talk to her. As for Sollux and Eridan, that should be
       obvious. They were arguing. The Disciple had gotten up and
       shoved the two in another room, making some rude remark about
       black romance before shutting them in. Not even surprising
       anymore. The cat troll was nothing like Karkat had expected her
       to be, not that he really expected much from her in the first
       place. He still hadn't decided if it was a good thing or a bad
       thing just yet.
       About midevening something finally happened. The Signless had
       just disappeared into the bathroom when Vriska banged through
       the door, dragging Tavros behind her. "WHAT THE **** VRISKA!?"
       He yelled at her as they ran past. he cerulean troll came to a
       stop in front of the one disgusting window in the hotel room.
       She threw open it opened and ordered Tavros to go through it. It
       was then that Karkat noticed a bag of something in Vriska's
       hand. "WHAT DID YOU STEAL THIS TIME!?! GOG DAMMIT!" The troll
       girl just leaned against the window frame while Tavros tried to
       fit through the tiny window. It wasn't working well. His horns
       just wouldn't fit and he was making distressed cow noises now.
       "Oh relax Karkat! We're just having some funnnnnnnn." She
       grinned at him before kicking Tavros in the rear. "Come on pupa!
       Believe! Believe!!!!!!!!" He turned his head diagnal and managed
       to get it through, though he took some of the window frame with
       him.
       Karkat was about to say something else when three huge guards
       came storming in. "There you are!" One shrieked.
       "Sorry boys." Tavros was out now and she had moved so she was
       sitting on the edge of the window. "I'll have to catch you
       later." They charged at her, shoving a a confused Signless back
       into the bathroom as he tried to leave. That was probably for
       the better. But they were too late. With a wink, she flipped
       backwards out of the window. Karkat could hear her laughter the
       entire way down as she made her escape. The head guard, a rather
       angry looking teal blood banged into the window framed and
       cussed loudly. This was just not his day. Behind the larger
       trolls, Signless peeked out of the bathroom before closing the
       door with him inside. Again, probably for the best. Karkat took
       his lead and let himself disappear into the shadows. He noticed
       that Feferi and Eridan had ducked under a bed to avoid notice
       and Dave had disappeared as well. When the Disciple tried to ask
       what had happened, they simply shrugged her off with a 'none of
       your business.' It wasn't until Equius stopped them that they
       said what happened. Equius was a horrible liar but with Nepeta
       behind the guards feeding him what to say, he managed to pull it
       off. Apparently, Vriska had crashed a party and made off with
       some blue blood's jewelry, screaming something about pirates.
       Figures. Tavros had been with her, trying to stop her, obviously
       in vain. In the commotion, he'd been blamed for taking something
       as well and Vriska dragging him away with her hadn't helped the
       matter. Not that he would have been listened to anyways. They
       had been evading the law since until they followed them back
       here. When asked if he knew who she was, he simply crossed his
       arms and griped about being associated with 'such a
       disrespectful hooligan.' They shut up and left after that for
       fear of offending him again. This may not have been such a big
       deal back in their time but Karkat was actually glad that he was
       friends with Equius for once. He was proving to be very useful.
       After the trolls had apologized, they left and things returned
       to normal after Karkat ranted about Vriska. At some point in
       time the Disciple leaned over and whispered that Karkat shared
       his ancestor's long windedness. Naturally, this just made him
       rant even more. The red trolls felt like he would fork himself
       soon when the Signless rose to his feet and announced that they
       would be leaving. Now going to the speech was optional but
       anything was better than being crammed into a tiny hotel room
       with several other trolls. Everyone else seem to agree since
       even Eridan followed after them; though, he did gripe the whole
       time. What's new? Their trip to the spot Psiioniic had told them
       about earlier was rather comical. After a long parade of hooded
       trolls, Nepeta and Equius were in the back, fixing Equius's
       hair. The Signless had announced their leaving just in time for
       Nepeta to finish an elaborate braid that made her moirail look
       like some kind of frilly human doll. She was now perched on his
       shoulders attempting to undo her fine work. So far it wasn't
       going well. They were in a huge argument by now and the larger
       troll's hair looked as though a horde of sleep deprived
       squeakbeasts had slept in it. Eventually, she just gave up and
       flipped his hood over his head. That was good enough. She'd
       borrow Feferi's comb when they got back. That thing could work
       magic. Just look at what it had to untangle every day!
       Their arrival was a blessing for Karkat. Everyone had been
       talking to their friends except for him. It was like he had just
       dropped off the face of the planet. As much as the troll scared
       him, he could really use Gamzee right now. They stopped at the
       edge of a busy market place, just inside the shadow of an ally
       way. The market was packed with trolls, way more than it should
       be able to hold. The Signless kept everyone from entering the
       place for some stupid reason so Karkat just glared at the
       passing trolls. A little group of teal bloods huddled together
       talking quickly. Karkat was a little too far away to hear them
       but a girl with mismatched horns wearing indigo pants seemed to
       be leading the conversation with snippets of sarcasm coming from
       another girl with question marks for horns. He was about to
       whine about how stupid it was to go to give a speech and then
       hide when a huge explosion erupted several streets away. How did
       he know where it was? It was so loud he could hear it from their
       little ally and shortly after, a plume of smoke billowed up
       shortly after. The single sleeping law enforcer at the edge of
       the market place immediately jerked awake and set off running
       towards the explosion. Signless didn't miss a beat. Once the
       officer was gone, he slipped into the crowd like a fish into
       water with the Disciple close behind. Within seconds, Karkat
       couldn't pick him out from anyone else. The other trolls in the
       marketplace erupted into excited chatter. The red trolls caught
       some of what was being said. 'It's beginning!' 'What do you
       think he looks like?' even an 'He's not that good.' It was
       pretty obvious what they were talking about. More trolls came
       running into the area from connecting streets. A yellow blooded
       troll with curving s like horns nearly bowled him down trying to
       get in. The air in the square swelled with anticipation. Karkat
       felt like it was going to smother him when the Signless finally
       showed his face again.
       "Brothers! Sisters!" He boomed. He had crossed the marketplace
       unrecognized and now stood on a tall stool, his friends at his
       side. Even the Dolorosa had come to stand by her 'son' to lend
       him support. When he spoke, everyone broke into deafening
       cheering and clapping. Terezi slapped her hands over her ears, a
       wild grin across her face. It was amazing how many had come for
       this and how energetic they were. The speech hadn't even begun
       yet! With a few waves of his hand, the Signless quieted the
       crowd. "My Brothers. My Sisters. Thanks to the wonderful efforts
       of one of my followers, we have been gifted with time so that I
       may speak." The trolls ripped into thunderous clapping once more
       for the unnamed patron, cutting him off. Who was undoubtably
       Redglare or one of her allies. Once more he had to calm the
       crowd. "Let us not waste the precious time this troll has given
       us!" The crowd seemed to nod in unison.
       "I ask you my friends, why have you come here today? Have you
       come because your matesprite asked? Have you come to catch a
       glimpse of the infamous Signless? Have you come here to test
       just how well I speak? Or have you come because you are tired?
       Tired of working night in and night out to raise the highblood's
       empires, to fight in their wars, to serve them hand and foot
       only to be treated like manure on their boot. Tired of the
       greatness and wonder of your abilities being disregarded for the
       soul reason of something you cannot even see on the outside. Or
       have you come because you are sick? Sick with the poison of
       hateful words. Sick with the infectious disease known as low
       self esteem so eagerly given to you by one who thinks themselves
       better. Or have you come because you are frustrated? Frustrated
       with the average quo of being treated like lusus. Frustrated of
       how you can not even scrape enough money together to feed
       yourself. Of how you can't enjoy friendship for fear of being
       culled for supposed 'disrespect'." His booming passionate voice
       softened into something new but just as passionate. "Or perhaps
       you are like me and have come today full of hope. Hope for what
       could be, if only the highbloods would see what it could bring.
       Hope for a new world of peace and equality amongst all trolls.
       Hope for a world were a maroon blood can chat easily with an
       indigo blood, for no other reason than they want to." The entire
       marketplace was silent as he spoke. When he paused, there wasn't
       even the sound of breathing. His voice fluctuated, always full
       of passion and truth, pulling everyone who listened in. Karkat
       found himself slowly moving closer to hear what his ancestor
       said. Even Eridan and Equius seemed to have been enraptured in
       his words. Overhead, trolls lined the edges of roofs as the
       marketplace was too full. As the Signless talked, he performed
       magic. He wove words into new hopes and images. Sentences became
       dancers that slithered inside one's mind and danced across the
       think pan. Paragraphs were waterfalls of logic and emotion
       pounding away the mountainside of the hemo caste system.
       "And what should it matter, to have olive blood or violet? What
       should it matter to have bronze blood or teal?" He asked. The
       speech was reaching it's climax and every troll seemed to be
       seething with excitement and the desire to do something. "When I
       look at my Disciple, I do not see her blood color. I see the
       face of someone who is loyal and generous and fiercer than most.
       When I look at the Psiioniic, I do not see his blood color. I
       see the face of someone who has always been there for me and who
       is there for his friends even when they're doing something
       stupid. When I look at you, I do not see your blood color. I see
       the faces of those who thirst for change and hope for something
       better. When you look at your friends, your colleges, your
       matesprit or kesmisis or moirail, you do not see their blood
       color. You see them for what truly counts. You see them for who
       they are. Not something so shallow as the pigment of what you
       don't even see." The crowd began clapping again. The Signless
       was going to have to be careful now. Some of the trolls looked
       as though they wanted to start a riot.
       "As I finish today, my brothers and sister, I ask only one thing
       of you. Tell what you have seen and heard today. Spread my word.
       Tell anyone who will listen. Even the highbloods. Especially the
       highbloods! Let everyone know your unrest. Let them hear you
       want for change in your words! Do not sit idle and wait for this
       to happen. But do not fight openly either. For doing so will
       only mark you as a target and turn my words into the words of an
       extremist and a rebel that should not be listened to. Our words
       hold power. Every word holds power. And once it has been spread
       to the farthest reaches of Alternia, once every trolls has heard
       them, we will have our equality!" His fist shot into the air to
       punch through his last point and the crowd exploded. Terezi and
       Nepeta shouted and screamed behind him. Even he had to cheer for
       that. So much hope. The Signless had so much hope. It almost
       made him forget his ancestor's fate. Almost. When Signless got
       off the stool, the crowd broke up. Some rushed the troll to talk
       more while others grouped together to discuss what had happened
       while others still just left. By now whatever had caused the
       explosion had been cleaned up and the lazy guard from before
       came back. He tried to break up some of the groups but that
       failed miserably. The group of teal bloods Karkat had seen
       earlier took turns shouting what they saw as the officer waved a
       stick at them. Signless took this as his cue and ducked down one
       of the allies, a group of trolls following him. Karkat cursed
       him. How were they supposed to find him when he did stuff like
       that?
       "By following me." A voice behind him nearly made him jump out
       of his pants. It was Redglare. He didn't even realize when she
       had showed up but it must have been at some point in time during
       the speech. Grumping, Karkat followed after her along with
       everyone else. Feferi and Eridan were in a heated argument about
       the speech. Same with Equius and Nepeta, just not as loud. If
       they weren't careful, Eridan and Equius were going to get some
       bruises. Eridan especially. Redglare led them through the
       winding tunnels to a shop. It was owned by one of the Signless's
       supporters, who was already there talking to a group of trolls.
       The owner of the shop was handing out drinks to those listening
       to the Signless. Eridan, Feferi, and Equius kept their hoods
       pulled up when everyone sat down. Redglare left them to sit
       closer to the Signless. It was obvious that she was flushed for
       him. For the most part all of the younger trolls kept to
       themselves, only listening to the conversation and not
       contributing anything. This did not include Feferi. The entire
       time she talked back and forth between most people in the
       conversation but mostly the Signless. The longer the discussion
       went on, the more excited she got. They spent hours and hours
       talking. By the time their little group of trolls made it back
       to their little hotel, the sun was peaking over the horizon and
       Feferi was half asleep leaning on Sollux's shoulder. This was
       possibly the best day of Karkat's life.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The following two days were like that, filled with talking and
       talking and even more talking. Only Signless wasn't giving
       speeches this time. Rather he'd go and meet groups of trolls and
       talk for hours on end. Sometimes Karkat would go along,
       sometimes he wouldn't. As much as he didn't give a flying ****,
       there was only so much to do at the hotel room and helping the
       Dolorosa hats was not something he was interested in. On the
       third day they finally left. The Dolorosa had sold plenty of
       goods by now, most low bloods knew who she was and bought them
       even if they didn't have enough money to help the cause, and the
       time that Redglare could give them was almost up. Once they were
       out of the city, it was horribly tense and awkward. No one
       talked, not even Nepeta and Feferi. With Terezi with them now,
       the only ones left to find were Gamzee and Aradia. And according
       to Dave, those two were in the same place. None of the younger
       trolls knew how to get there, much less where it was, while the
       only one who had even been near the place was the Disciple.
       Apparently she had been a pretty steady traveller in her years
       before she joined the Signless, following hoofbeasts and such,
       and had followed a herd right past the Grand Highblood's place.
       Well. Not right past. Even the wild lusus avoided that like a
       plague. And from the look on her face when she mentioned it, it
       wasn't surprising. Karkat had a feeling the Disciple actually
       would take them there if it were different circumstances. The
       problem was, it wasn't different circumstances and now everyone
       was ****ing quiet and weird around everyone else. He was about
       to blow up when Signless called to set up camp for the day. It
       was fairly early but no one objected. It was pretty obvious that
       the older trolls wanted to talk about what they were going to do
       next, they just didn't know where to start. Unfortunately, the
       camp went up way too fast. Like. WAY too fast. Goddammit. Before
       long they were all gathered around a pitiful camp fire, staring
       at the flames, completely ****ing quiet. Within seconds Karkat's
       teeth were grinding for the entire circle to hear. Two more
       seconds were too much from him.
       "WHAT THE ACTUAL **** IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!?? WOULD YOU ALL
       JUST TALK ABOUT THE HUGE ****ING ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!? OK. IN
       THE CLEARING. THAT WAS A HORRIBLE COMPARISON SINCE MOST OF YOU
       DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE **** AN ELEPHANT IS BUT WHO EVEN CARES
       JUST TALK YOU INSUFFERABLE BUCKETS OF ROTTEN EXCREMENTS!!" The
       circle echoed with his words. It was a few seconds before
       someone actually spoke up and the Disciple and the Signless
       decided to speak at the exact same time.
       Disciple raised her eyebrows in warning for him to let her talk
       first before continuing. "I think we should help them."
       "I think we shouldn't." Signless shot back almost immediately.
       "No offense." He informed the younger trolls, as though that
       wouldn't make it offensive. Eridan and Equius took this as their
       chance to get offended. They'd been trying to find fault with
       the Signless since they first met him, but the guy was either
       too clueless or too good of an arguer to actually peg him with
       anything that couldn't be shoved back in their face. A smack
       from Nepeta and a nudge from Feferi got them to uncross their
       arms, though they were still as defensive and prickly as a
       scared quillbeast.
       Disciple narrowed her eyes at him, and almost growled. "And why
       do you think that?" Oh boy. This was not going to be a fun
       conversation.
       Signless ducked his head, rubbing the back of it. "Can we talk
       about this elsewhere?" Not a good idea.
       "I don't see why. This has to do with them. They deserve to
       know. Don't you think Mr. Sharing-Ideals." That one was a jab
       with a freaking pitchfork.
       "Fine." He sighed. "I don't think we should because they're from
       the future and they're not the ones who have a price on their
       head."
       Disciple seemed to back off some. He definitely had a valid
       point. "We can't just leave them though. They will die there
       unless they have help. I know that." Another good point. Even
       Eridan knew they'd probably be in over their heads and he was
       the guy who kept killing angels like a dumbass. The conversation
       was slowly becoming only the Signless and Disciple arguing and
       they were starting to slip away from the others around them.
       Before long it would be just those two.
       Signless thought about it a second before leaning in to answer
       her. This was obviously a person conversation that very much
       shouldn't be talked about in front of everyone. "I don't want
       anyone of us getting hurt there. Especially you." He was
       obviously being very caring about this, hoping to win her over.
       Instead he said the exact wrong thing.
       "So you'd rather send in ten young trolls who are, quiet
       literally, our future to die in a horrible clown infested castle
       than help them and maybe all of us get out together?" Dangerous
       territory now because she had a wonderful point. Everyone had
       grown closer to each other the last few weeks. Even Equius had
       grown a strange fondness for the older trolls and helped
       Dolorosa with her goods by being a model since the knitting
       needles were a bit too thin and delicate for him.
       "Yes I would." Now the Signless was starting to get mad too.
       "Not because I hate them but because I love you and everyone
       else in our family."
       "You just said everyone but you'd still send them to their
       deaths? You're turning into a hypocrite."
       "They're not apart of our family and you know it!" The younger
       trolls who's ancestor was near shifted uncomfortably.
       "They are too! Look at them! They're just like us! He," A finger
       was jabbed at Karkat, "is just like you!"
       Karkat objected to that but he was bowled over by the Signless.
       "Yes but no! Stop turning what I say into something else! She,"
       He jabbed his finger at were Nepeta wa- used to be. She'd
       relocated to tucked close to Equius. She was not a fan of this
       hard core arguing if it was like this. Apparently ships were
       different. **** if he knew how. "is her own person! She will
       never be you! Never ever ever! And she will never be mine!" The
       cat girl scuttled closer to her moirail.
       The Disciple gasped when he mentioned Nepeta. "Don't bring my
       decedent into this!"
       "Why not? You brought mine into it!"
       She flubbed for a moment before continuing. "That not the point!
       The point is that we can't just leave them to die! You can't
       tell me that you don't care about them!"
       "And that's not my point! Yes. I care about them! But I've known
       then for a few weeks. I've known the Psiioniic and you for
       years, and the Dolorosa for my whole life! I'm not putting any
       of you in that kind of danger!"
       "And what if just you went?" Oh boy. This was a loaded question.
       Signless froze for a second, thinking it over, trying to figure
       out the right answer. "Yes... That'd work."
       And then the Disciple pounced. Not like Nepeta's tacklepounce.
       Oh no. This was a full on, screeching, claws-out, angry pounce.
       The two fell of the log they were sitting on and into the grass
       were they rolled around wrestling each other.
       "What the heck! I thought you wanted to help them!"
       "You ****!" She screeched back. It was obvious she was furious.
       Her complete ignoring of the question just made him madder.
       "How am I the **** when you're the one who tackled me and won't
       tell me what you're even mad about! You know that I'm the one
       they're looking for! I'm not putting you in danger because of
       me! That's why I should go!" This conversation obviously had
       nothing to do with the young trolls anymore. Joy.
       "And that's why you're an ****!" She was on top of him now,
       holding him down by the shoulders. "You're such a selfish,
       arrogant ****! What makes you so damn important that you have to
       go into danger!? Do you think we don't care about you!? That
       you're the only one who gets to worry about us!? Cause you're
       wrong in your stupid, disgusting leggings!! Don't you think
       about what would happen to us if you died? Do you really think
       you'd be the only one who would get hurt? Every single one of us
       care about you and love you! You're not allowed to go off and
       die just because you think you caused this! We all knew what we
       were signing up for and if you go down, we all go down you ****!
       Because we love you! And I love you most of all so if you go off
       and get yourself killed without me, I'm going to bring you back
       to life just so I can kill you myself!!" She was shaking by the
       end of it and the entire clearing had fallen silent so her last
       words seemed to echo forever. As she talked, she had dug her
       claws into him, which probably hurt like heck but he was too
       shocked to say anything. The tension in the air could strangle a
       person, and by the look on Nepeta's face, it may have. "You
       don't get to do that." She muttered, followed by another '****'.
       A few more seconds and the Dolorosa got to her feet and gently
       detached the Disciple from the Signless. While Dolorosa led
       Disciple to her tent, Psiioniic managed to gather up the pieces
       of the Signless and get them back to his and Disciple's shared
       tent, leaving the young trolls in the glorious bliss of sheer
       awkwardness and uncomfortableness. No one wanted to speak up,
       nothing would sound right after that. Fortunately the Psiioniic
       came back after a few minutes and sat down at his place again.
       After a few more beautiful moments, he broke the silence by
       zapping fire with a psionic blast, turning it into a strange
       combination of wild blue and red fire that licked the sky. "I
       hate it when they do that." He grumbled. All they could do was
       nod in agreement.
       69~69~69~69~69~69
       The rest of that night was pretty much a steaming pile of crap.
       The Psiionic and Dolorosa periodically switched spots, leaving
       their respective wards alone. At some point in time the Disciple
       had creeped over to Signless without anyone noticing until
       Psiioniic went back and caught them. Based on the marsh mellow
       in his hair, it was safe to say that they had made up. That
       didn't solve the problem of what they were going to do though.
       Everyone ended up going to bed restless and uncomfortable.
       Turns out that in the evening when they woke up, Disciple and
       Signless had spent the day talking about it. Disciple was going
       to lead the group to the edge of the Grand Highbloods property.
       From there, it would be just the young trolls. Disciple taking
       over was a huge difference. It was like they were trapped in
       some kind of bizarre video game with a demented kid at the
       controller. Their route made no sense at all. Every time they
       even got close to civilization, not only would Disciple go
       around it, she'd flat out turn around and go back the way they
       came. She wouldn't let them set up camp either, something that
       most definitely did not agree with Karkat's back. More than once
       he woke up with a horrible ache and leaves where leaves should
       not be. The only ones who were doing well were Disciple and
       Nepeta which was not a surprise. But every time someone asked
       Disciple what on Alternia she was doing, or were they even going
       the right way, her answer was always 'soon.' What would have
       taken them a week on the road ended up taking them two but at
       last they were only a day away from the palace. In truth, Karkat
       wanted no where near that place. For the past three days there
       had been this creeping chill in the air. Now it was even worse.
       It felt like every time he turned his back, the trees themselves
       would change and shift into something horrifying, watching him
       like some kind of fascinating zoo exhibit. 'what do you think
       he'll do next?' 'maybe he'll do a trick!' 'if he doesn't we can
       always punish him.' 'hit him.' 'hurt him.' 'heh. it'll be fun.'
       'hahahahahaha.'
       'hahahahahahahaha!'
       'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!'
       'HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!'
       It was ****ing creepy. The surrounding forest seemed to be
       filled with that demented laughter. Not even covering his ears
       made it better. Everyone else was having the same problems. They
       were all on a whole new level of nervous. Disciple and Psiioniic
       snapped at each other for every little thing, Dolorosa and
       Signless actually got into a big argument over something really
       stupid and dumb, and Equius and Nepeta were having piles every
       time they stopped for long enough. Even Vriska said they were in
       way over their head.
       When it was finally time to go, it was incredibly hard to get
       going. Everyone was filled with a dread that made them slow. The
       night was halfway done by the time they made it to the entrance
       of the palace. It wasn't what Karkat had expected. Then again,
       he hadn't known what to expect. The entrance was actually the
       entrance to a maze. The walls were ragged hedges that grew
       several feet into the air. The plants were dotted with huge
       purple flowers that let loose a sickeningly sweet smell. From
       somewhere within maze a record was playing a record. The tune
       looped through the maze, playing the same melody over and over
       again, as though it was on a perminant skip.
       Ba-du-du Ba-duuh! Bu-du-du Ba-duuh! Ba-du-du Ba-duuh!
       Karkat never wanted to run away as much as he did now. Not even
       when Gamzee lost it. Gosh Gamzee. He wasn't sure which he was
       more scared of. The thought that he had been hurt, or worse,
       somewhere in this clown prison, or the thought that he had
       joined up with his ancestor. Both sent chills down his spine.
       Behind him, Nepeta and Disciple were having a serious hug
       session. Kanaya and the Dolorosa were too, just a lot less....
       Leijon. Even Sollux and Psiioniic were exchanging painfully
       awkward conversation. Mostly bad jokes and complaints about how
       incredibly fucking stupid this was. Everyone else was
       plagerizing the ancestor goodbyes as well of course, leaving
       Karkat by himself. The Signless came up behind him and stood
       there awkwardly for a moment.
       "So..." He lost that one. Not that he even had it in the first
       place.
       "WHAT DO YOU WANT, FUCKWAD?" Ah. Classic Karkat charm.
       "Are you scared?" He asked after a minute or two.
       "OF COURSE I'M FUCKING SCARED. I'D BE THE CRAZIEST TROLL ON
       ALTERNIA IF I WEREN'T. AND THAT'S INCLUDING YOUR GAGGLE OF
       MENTALLY DERANGED FRIENDS." He couldn't help but stare into the
       darkness of the maze. It was as though some unknown force was
       pulling him into the black. He was absolutely terrified. "BUT I
       HAVE TO DO THIS." Because somewhere in that maze of honking
       darkness was his best bro.
