[ The camera shows scenery of Discedo flashing by as Karkat runs, the view of his face jerking unsteadily once in a while. It's hard as hell to hold anything steady when you're running. ]
NO TIME TO TYPE.
I'M GOING TO PRETEND FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS THAT OUR DEATHS AREN'T IMMINENT
AND MY STUPID QUEST ISN'T FUTILE.
JACK NOIR, OR SOMETHING LIKE HIM WITH AND PROBABLY IN POSSESSION OF HIS HORRIBLY DESTRUCTIVE POWERS, IS CURRENTLY WHITTLING AWAY MY FRIEND'S LIFE SPAN.
FOR SOME REASON I'M TRYING TO STOP THIS.
YOU BETTER FUCKING APPRECIATE THIS, ERIDAN.
GOD I'M STUPID.
TAV, GAMZ, YOU STAY BEHIND AT THE HIVE.
SORRY BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE A HINDRANCE.
VRI, I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS
BUT EITHER STAY BEHIND OR MEET UP WITH ME.
JUST DON'T GO OFF ON YOUR OWN.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL TROLLDOM, I KNOW YOU'RE CONVINCED YOU'RE STRONG AND YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE SOMETHING UP YOUR SLEEVES
BUT THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO TRY A SUICIDE MISSION.
[ He's starting to get out of breath. SLOWING DOWN. ]
TELL ME WHERE THERE'S THIS EXCAVATION MISSION
OR RESCUING
ANY WAY TO GET TO SPERO--
[ Suddenly he stops. His already pale gray complexion goes white, looking shocked and upset at whatever is in front of him. His arm drops a bit so you get an upside-down view of what it is.
It looks like the ghost of an older troll in cowl and leggings. Shadows obscure his face, but it might be easy to guess from the gleaming blood red eyes, terrible personality, and scratchy voice. And he seems to be preaching a sermon. ]
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, DUMB FUCKS. AND NOT IN THE HATE-MAKE OUT WAY. IT'S REALLY NOT GOING TO KILL YOU TO BE CORDIAL TO THE GUY ONE HIVE OVER, OR AT LEAST BE INDIFFERENT TO HIS EXISTENCE. WE ALL HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH YOUR TIME THAN RUMINATE IN PARANOIA OVER THE TROLL WHO SHARES A LAWN RING BORDER WITH US. WE ALL HAVE THE POTENTIAL...
[ Because his life isn't easy, there's also the added bonus of a certain someone walking around, eyes closed and smiling. This can only end badly. Karkat swears under his breath and hurries it the fuck up. The feed shuts off before the cowled troll can finish. ]
