So uh.

[Karkat's face is on the screen, attempting to look pretty unimpressed by...whatever is going on behind him. In fact, he almost seems exasperated. It's all an act though, judging by the way the corner of his mouth twitches. Some of his suit is splashed with teal, though it's too coagulated to be paint.

Then all questions are answered when Karkat tilts the camera just a smidge to the left to show Terezi on one of the infirmary beds, who looks like she's had her arm impaled by something. The wound looks like it may need stitches. He's doing his best to hide the fact that this is a video feed from his counterpart, so after he gives the audience a brief viewing, he focuses the camera back on his face.]

I ain't much of a doctor. Can I get some assistance, maybe?

I know, Sollux. [The corner of his mouth twitches during the pause, like there's something he wants to say that he can't get out.] I know.

[ Jade hesitates slightly -- she doesn't know this troll, at all. But she sees someone who needs help, and she knows medical sutures like the back of her hand. Ironic, really, since that's where she's got some of her own. ]

I'm not a doctor, but...I can do stitches really well.

Are you going down there? I'm coming with you.

[quarkylass]

Yeah. I... [ a gulp, YOU CAN DO THIS JADE ] I want you with me. I'm not...

[ That withering self-deprecation is back, and she seems to shrink away from the camera. ]

[ and like he'd trust her with trolls, even if terezi is there. ]

Meet you on the way.

[DEADEYING THE CAMERA SO HARD. He really doesn't want any form of Dave near either of them right now.

Jade, however. Jade was a different story. This Jade didn't seem at all like the one he was familiar with. In fact, she was a lot closer to the John he knew.

So he takes a moment before answering.]

That's better than nothing, I guess.

[quarkylass]

Don't worry, Karkat. I promise I will be careful.

[...Was that Terezi?]

What? What happened...?

[Oh sup, Bluekat, it's a Tavros.]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

Not important--

[....]

Tavr--what's with the eyes?

[knightofmind.livejournal.com]

[...This one isn't his Karkat either. Hmm.]

...Goggles. But what happened?

video

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

She got attacked.

[knightofmind.livejournal.com]

As can be seen... By what?

[timegame.livejournal.com]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

I think Jade is coming to stitch it up. [much to his obvious chagrin] She got attacked.

[Prussia lives with the other Karkat, so don't mind him he's going to assume they're the same person because he's rather oblivious in noting little differences. Feel free to correct/ be as rude as he wants!]

Hey, Karkat what the hell happened? That looks pretty nasty but I bet I could fix it for you if you really wanted.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

[His expression sours considerably when he's confused for his alternate.]

I don't know who the hell you are, but it's being taken care of.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Hunh? Wait, don't tell me there's fucking TWO of you.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

Jegus fucking shit, do I need to draw you retards a diagram?

There is ONE of me, and one of him. We are not even fucking close to being the same guy, so stop fucking comparing me to him.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

NO but you LOOK the exact same in case you didn't notice. Whatever, if you don't want help from someone who knows what they're doing she can bleed out.
