♋ 002 || Video (Backdated before the leash event)

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?

[ 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.

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.

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

She's still bleeding, so.

[His casual way of saying 'oh good hurry up'.]

[ WELL YOU KNOW THEY DID KIND OF
KILL HER
INDIRECTLY........ ]

Okay. I'll, um. See you soon.
