SeeDs are like secret super spies right?

egbert over and out!



B: Text, from Jade Harley

and i hope i get to know most of you better (:B
sincerely
cadet jade harley

p.s. karkat if you see this you better message me asap!!!!!!!!



C: Action, all over the place

[ Two young aliens have arrived on the scene! From the looks of it, they're of the same make as those pesky trolls that keep showing up around the place – grey skin, yellow sclera, two candy-corn horns in various shapes plopped atop their foreheads and everything. The girl has an smile of utmost rapture on her face, and as she roams from place to place she points things out to the boy with a delighted grin. The boy seems to be keeping his face to a much more tempered “derpy grin,” stopping and remarking on how cool the layout of this place is on occasion.

If you happen to have ever met a John (Egbert) or Jade (Harley) before, they bear an absolutely striking resemblance. It's uncanny, really.

The dynamic duo aren't really stuck in any particular part of Garden – rather, they are roaming throughout its entirety, staring wide-eyed at pretty much everything they pass by. On occasion, Jade will excitedly run off to see something and leave John to catch up, or John will take an extra few minutes to check something out while Jade absent-mindedly wanders off, but in general they stick close together.

Do you choose this moment to run into one or both of them (quite possibly literally)?

Yeah, actually. Good job figuring that out. Do you want a treat?

Man, you are probably in awe about how we turned out better trolls than you, huh? That's okay, Karkat. There's room in the world for mediocre people too!

[He just sort of reels for a minute.]

Fuck you both. I'm focused on the fact that this means we fucked up, because that wasn't supposed to happen. Unlike you, shitbert, I'm actually concerned for my leadership and how it affects my teammates.

[ > concerned for my leadership ]
[ > how it affects teammates ]

[ Oh hey, guess who's more offended than Jade! That's right. It's their one and only leader. Hands rolled into trembling fists and with a vicious snarl coming out of his mouth, he approaches Karkat. At first his hands twitch, like he can't decide whether to punch Karkat or grab his collar or something more demeaning, like kiss him. Right now, he settles for staring him down. ]


Are you implying that I don't care about my friends, that I don't take my position as their leader seriously?

I did what was best for my crew. Our decision to enable the Scratch was a unanimous vote. If it weren't for it, everyone would've dropped like flies; in fact, I think that happened to your crew already farther into the timeline. We were given another chance, and because of our humble fucking generosity, we gave you guys another chance too.

So don't talk like you know everything, shortstack. You don't know squat.

[ He's going to try and shove Karkat for emphasis. ]

[Okay, so does he quietly flip out at the fact that Jade is very pointedly stabbing him in his self-deprecation, appreciate the fact that she seems genuinely pissed off, or--]

[Okay John you're sort of making it a requirement that he reacts to you, what with that shoving and all. He just sort of snarls and takes a step backward, moving away and pacing like some kind of ...entirely unthreatening lion cub with a toothache.]

[He doesn't actually say anything, just paces.]

[The bit about Nepeta sort of soured the fuck out of him.]

[ Angry Karkat, he could deal with easily, even before trollification. Calm, pacing Karkat, however, is just alarming and surprisingly even more infuriating than infuriated Karkat. ]

[ So he's in the same boat as Jade is here, but he's standing still because they need at least one levelheaded person here. He's just staring down Karkat, daring him to make a move like he's one of the wild animals he used to hunt down back at Alternia. He's waiting for a retort of some sort, a punch, a yell, a kick -- anything to justify movement of some sort. ]

[There's probably a reason Vriska made a point of mentioning that Karkat would have made a better human than he does a troll. Yeah, he shouts and he overcompensates by yelling about everything, but...]

[When actually confronted with conflict? He doesn't know what to do with it. He stops in his pacing, finally, and rolls his eyes, giving Jade a sort of tired, irritated look.]


Fucking dumb-butt? Harley I'm convinced you can do better than that. And what exactly are you intending on getting done, anyway?

[A thought occurs to him, and one corner of his mouth quirks ever so slightly. He glances at John. Turnabout's fair play-- we'll see how long he can pretend he's not waxing just as black as the Egbert and his sister.]

Punch you? Well shit, doesn't that sound awfully caliginous to you?
