x4 Combo Showdown
ghostlyarmageddon:
You take a few deep breaths. Dave is right…but then his hand is on your wrist, and he is dragging you forward, out of reach of your moirail and then a portal opens beneath your feet. A portal of blood. You reach out, tryign to grab for Dave, but its no use. You are sinking into the blood. Covered. You try and scream out, but blood fills your mouth. You feel like you are suffocating, chocking
You’re startled when John is yanked away from you and you reach out for him, looking horrified. But it’s too late. They both disappear into the floor in a puddle of red blood. You scream at the floor and bang your fists, splashing blood everywhere and generally getting nothing accomplished. Then you sit there for a while, just staring at the spot where they’d been standing.

You flinch back from Karkat’s reaction and suddenly burst into tears, full on sobbing. You sit on the floor and curl up into a ball, grabbing at your wrists and tearing them open so they bleed. You lower lip is gnawed to bits in your anxiety.
“i-im sorry im sorry IM SORRY IM SORRY. I DIDNT MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IM SORRY. i-i was just lonely b-but it was okay because other me was happy and h-had all his quadrants filled! i w-was just trying to help i just w-wanted to help so m-maybe hed accept me but i made it all worse and then s-spider was gonna leave and i couldnt let him i couldnt let him and then lamp came and i got so mad!!!” You sob into your hands.
“I D-DONT WANT TO BE ALONE AGAIN. Y-you can h-have lampy back i th-think spider hurt h-him worse than i was ever planning to. b-but i cant bring spidey. he w-wants to stay. he t-told me he loves me t-that hes mine and only mine. d-do you know what its like h-hearing that after so much i hate? i c-cant. b-but ill bring you to them okay ill bring you to them.”
Daves had calms you…but only slightly…and then the freak masquerading as your ex speaks again
“II DONT CARE WHAT HE 2AIID!” you scream, psionics starting to crackle over you
“”briing. my. mate2priit. back. two. me”
After what CKK said to you, you have no sympathy for someone who is basically him.
you just want Spider back, safe and sound.
Its not fair he is letting lamp come back, but not spider.
Its not fair and its pissing you off
You grab John’s hand and rub circles in the back of it while you rub your other hand against his shoulder softly. He can’t freak out right now, it’s not going to solve anything and, judging from this disturbingly anxious and childlike shadow, might actually drive him away.
“Careful John. He Can Easily Decide Not To Even Let You See Spider Just Because Of How Youre Acting.” you whisper to him.

Fuck.
You want to tear him apart.
To see his guts spilled in the air. To stick his head on your 2x3dent and howl in victory. To let the world see what happens to those who harm anything that Empkat holds dear. But you can’t, not while he has your matesprit!
So you are silent.
Eying him, untrusting.
You smile at John lovingly and blush a little just because he’s around you. Wow he makes your blood pumping organ do funny things. You’re a little upset too because he’s only really here to see Spider.
“dont w-worry john, ill take you to spider just like im gonna take ‘kk’ to lampy.” You tell him. Then you turn to Karkat with a frown and your lower lip shakes a little.
“i tried my b-best to get him to respond but he w-wont even eat or anything. i d-didnt mean to hurt h-him that bad honest! i d-dont even dislike the guy i was j-just lost in fury when h-he tried to take spidey away and i d-didnt mean to. m-maybe you can h-help him snap out of this.”
“why cant you briing them here. ii ju2t want my mate2priit back” you say coldly, eyes narrowed
You pap John’s back gently, trying to calm him a little. You can tell he’s getting a little aggravated and you know he really doesn’t want to be around any form of ckk at this time. But you also don’t want him antagonizing the guy who has the upper hand. You try to reason with the shadow up a little.
“I Know You Really Want To See John But This Is Hardly The Way To Go About It. Hell Be More Likely To Accept You If You Simply Return His Matesprit Than If You Continue To Deny Him.”

Yu feel the tension between them…but there is no time to say anything before Sock appears, hugging you tightly. You cant repress a shiver s you are coated in the red blood, and you are trying to not get too upset just by lookign at him and thinking of your mat….ex-matesprit
“ii told you ii would come. now where ii2 2piider?”
You are rather startled by the shadows appearance. His looks remind you of Karkat when he was younger and wide eyed. Not so harsh and closed off. But you’ve never known Karkat to be so excitable and bouncy. It’s disconcerting to see so you decide to keep your mouth shut and let John do the talking.
>Dave: transportalize to eridans hive
ghostlyaquarium:
You rush through your hive picking up all the knifes and other sharp objects. Why did you have to have so many damn knives? You throw them into a box and throw it out of your hive, you could pick them up later.
“okay evveryfins ready”
You walk to Eridan and quickly hand him your grub-sitting bag and Daniel.
“I Hate To Be So Abrupt But This Really Is Urgent And Im Also Slightly Frightened That John Sent Me Here So He Could Leave Me Behind. Thank You Again. I Have Faith That Youll Take Good Care Of Him But I Really Must Be Going!”

You arrive with Dave beside you at your old hive. Its so weird being back here…a few of your old belongings still littered around, a thick layer of dust on the floor. And some footprints. You are naturally on your guard.
You look to Dave and quietly walk through the hive. You hear a sound a freeze, glancing at Dave before looking around a corner…ah, Empkat got here befoe you. Ok good.
“dave, thii2 ii2 karkat. he ii2 lamp2 mate2priit” you say, though know well enough to make sure you keep between them. You are pretty sure Dave still wants to hurt him for hurting you.
“hii karkat. ok he 2aiid he wanted two meet me here…he ha2 two be around 2omewhere. ii dont thiink he know2 you two are here though…”
[Order: John, Dave, Empkat, Sock]
You purse your lips and tense up at the sight of Karkat. You still haven’t forgiven him for what he did to your moirail. You stand a bit closer to John unconsciously but extend your hand regardless because you are polite.
“Hello Karkat. It Is Very Nice To Meet You I Suppose. Especially Given Your History.”
You tone is clipped and rather sarcastic.
>Dave: transportalize to eridans hive
You gather up Daniel in your arms as well as a blankie you made him and some mashed foods that youve kept in jars just for him. You put all the required materials in a bag and then hurry to the transportalizer room and punch in Eridan’s coordinates.
