You get off of work a little later than you intended. A lot of paperwork to file after all those missing persons reports came back. The fog, psh, more like the CLOG, right? The precinct is backed all the fuck up with this massive influx of calls...
Anyway, you’re rushing to the coffee joint Karkat mentioned, a couple minutes late. It isn’t until you’re about to walk in that you think you should have changed into civilian clothing. Sigh. There’s no time to change out of your work clothes. It’s not like it’s a date or anything, anyway...
Licking your lips, you walk inside, sniffing the air to try and locate Karkat.

At the sound of screaming, the sort of screaming you distinctly know to be that of a terrified crab son, you come barreling down the halls like a bat out of hell. When you reach the door, you pause, hand on the handle.
Biting your lip, you knock.
“Kar...? Kar, you alright? I’m coming in.”

> You wonder what you could be able to do. You have felt useless for your entire life. Thinking that you were crazy, that your markings are your visions meant nothing more confusion.
> With time and on your own you learned about the Signless and your connection with him, and when the meeting came, it was all that you hated for it to be.
> But he used it to seek you once. You knew it was him, on purpose, it was different, this was a connection. You know trolls have all kind of abilities, and it makes you wonder if you can replicate it on your own.
> And with the war right in front of you... you want to have some sort of advantage. Or just an anxiety attack, that’s how it goes when you mess with your visions.
> So you focus on recreate what you felt that one time he connected to you, that radar like feeling that connected with your brain, your blood. Something strange. He had sweeps to master it, and only now you attempt it without guide.
> You think you have something going, you can certainly feel everything change just as quick but then what you see isn’t who you were looking for.
“Karkat?!”
> How??? Is that even possible???
> What??? Is happening??
> Not only your back hurts like a motherfucker, but you are sure you opened a channel that you didn’t even know was there.

@croupiergin
Kanaya
You are Kanaya Maryam Spektor. You're not handling anything well at all. It's been some unknown span of hours since you got the news. You steal a phone, the 2nd phone you've stolen since October. You enter a number in and start texting.
JJ: Karkat This Is Kanaya
JJ: I
JJ: I Do Not Even Know
JJ: Please Be Alive
Karkat
CG: I'm here.
CG: I'm. Okay I guess.
CG: .....Break your phone?
Kanaya
JJ: Yes
JJ: Thank You
JJ: I Am Not Sure What I Am Going To Do
Karkat
CG: ...I don't know either. Dad wants to go and talk to me after a bit.
CG: ...
CG: I mean, I know what I'm going to do eventually. But right now...
Kanaya
JJ: I Am Not Sure About Anything
JJ: It All Feels Like Nothing Anyone Does Matters
Karkat
CG: Yeah, it does.
CG: I'm pretty sure that's shock and grief, though.
CG: But...Wel..
CG: I have to keep my determination because we have to get revenge.
CG: I'll flip the fuck out later, maybe.
CG: And. We'll need you too, Kanaya.
Kanaya
JJ: This Is Not The First Death I Have Known
JJ: I Never Told You About Where I Came From
JJ: I Do Not Know If My Father Or Yours Ever Told You
JJ: Death Was Very Common To Me Before Meeting All Of You
JJ: I Want Revenge
JJ: And Yet It Feels Futile
JJ: Even If We Make The Scum Who Did This Suffer Aradia Will Still Be Dead
JJ: There Will Be No Peace
JJ: There Will Not Be Anything But A Moment Of Satisfaction
JJ: Then What Happens When That Moment Is Gone?
Karkat
CG: I don't know. But...I do know that I don't want Aradia's death to go by unchallenged. Unacknowledged.
CG: I...Couldn't let that happen to any of you.
CG: It would be wrong.
CG: And maybe that's dumb to think but fuck! I need something. If I focus on this I won't have to think about the affter, you know?
Kanaya
JJ: I Suppose
JJ: That Is A Fair Way To Deal With It
JJ: But It Is Not Enough For Me
JJ: I Am Sorry
JJ: Would It Be Better For You If I Give You Space
JJ: I Do Not Wish To Make You Hurt Greater
Karkat
CG: No, I'm glad you're talking with me. Knowing you're okay is helpful.
CG: We all  are gonna deal with this in our own way, so I'm not gonna go around and blame you or anything.
CG: ...
CG: And. I'll be happy when you're home. Because if you're stealing phones with an unfamiliar handle...Probably not in the hideout, huh.
Kanaya
JJ: You Are Too Smart
JJ: Yes I Am Out
JJ: I Am Just Walking
JJ: Do Not Think I Can Face Anyone Right Now
JJ: There Is Nothing I Could Do But I Feel At Fault In Part Somehow
JJ: When Father Rescued Me I Swore To Myself To Protect All That Mattered To Him
JJ: I Swore To Protect My Family But I Am Failing Again And Again
JJ: Fuck
Karkat
CG: Hey.
CG: It's not your fault. It's not any of our faults.
CG: And I won't tell anyone where you are/that you're out and about or anything.
CG: Listen, Kan, Just be....
CG: Careful. Okay? I won't get on your case for feelings or anything but I don't want you to get fucked up.
Kanaya
JJ: You Are Too Good Karkat
JJ: You Are Too Kind To Me
JJ: You Have All Been So Kind All These Years
JJ: I Do Not Know What He Saw In Me Then
JJ: I Am Not Willfully Putting Myself In Danger I Promise
JJ: But This City Does Not Care
JJ: It Does Not Care If You Are Strong Or Weak Protected Or Alone
JJ: I Know I Should Come Home
JJ: But I Am Scared To See Everyone
JJ: I Am Scared How My Father Will Look
JJ: I Am Scared He Is Never Going To Be My Father Again
JJ: Because I Know What Loss Does
Karkat
CG: No, I get it.
CG:I'm hiding in my room for pretty close to that reason.
CG: ...I'm not sure what's going to happen to all of us. But we'll still be your family, no matter what.
Kanaya
JJ: I Love You Karkat
JJ: Oh Ha Ha
JJ: In My Daze I Seem To Have Walked To My Shop
JJ: Part Of Me Wants To Burn It Down
JJ: As If That Would Do Any Good
Karkat
CG: Probably don't do that.
CG: Maybe take a break in there? Stress sew? Is that a thing??
Kanaya
JJ: I Do Not Feel That Is A Wise Idea Currently
JJ: May I Ask A Favor?
Karkat
CG: Of course.
Kanaya
JJ: After You Talk To Uncle Slick Will You Let Me Stay With You
JJ: I Trust Myself Less And Less As Time Passes In Truth
Karkat
CG: For sure.
CG: Just let me know when.
Kanaya
JJ: You Really Are Too Good Karkat
JJ: I Am Grateful For You
JJ: I Will Turn Back Now
JJ: Not Sure How Long It Will Take Me To Get Back
JJ: It Should Be Something Like Fifteen Minutes
Karkat
CG: Okay. I'll be awake, don't worry.
CG: I love you Kanaya
Kanaya
JJ: I Love You As Well Karkat
JJ: If Anyone Asks Can You Just Say I Was Out And Broke My Phone But Am On My Way Back
JJ: I Do Not Want To Cause Excess Worry
