Nightnight Crew Hideout

*wind blows down through the hatch, but no one responds*

*Slick worriedly glances around the room*

< i ain't in the mood for yer games ygg 3<

*Did their most powerful ally just ditch them? He only now realizes how dependent he's become on shadow magic. If they have to go up against the Felt without it, things are gonne be rough.
He stands up and stretches his arm. The shadows on the wall dance and coil. So they still work. That's something at least.

He yells at his crewmembers above ground*

< get your asses down here already! 3<

Boxcars jumped down the hole and landed with enough force it shook the entire hideout.
He took his position at the briefing-table.

<I'm here boss.3

*a short sharp crash is heard as a door is kicked open*
FUCK THIS SHIT, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU IDIOTS ARE UP TO, I'M HUNGRY.
*Karkat mutters and fumes as he stomps from his room to the kitchen to find something vaguely edible*

*Sollux enters the hideout after the BS heist and goes back to his room, shutting everyone else out like usual.*

*Aradia floats down from the hatch, and gives Spades a glance, that kind you give someone to make them sure they know what they're in for*

oh lots of things karkat!

*Slick glares at Aradia*

< right. lots of things 3<

*Might as well get this over with. Except it probably wont be "over with" as long as his kid can draw breath*

< karkat get over here will ya there's something i gotta tell you 3<

LOTS OF THINGS? LOTS OF LANDBEASTSHIT YOU MEAN.
*Karkat chews on something that may have once been sausage as he joins the others*
WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE TO SAY THAT COULD BE OF THE SLIGHTEST INTEREST, ASSHOLE?

((Das not Eridan. Pawn RPs Spades nao. Just FYI. Unless ur calling Spades Fishbreath. Which is weird. To me of course, IMO))

((ah, sorry. I'l edit))

((edit: all done!))

*Slick resists the urge to give Karkat a good stabbing for his sharp tongue. Now's not the time*

< we went to pull a heist on the felt. got ambushed. things got messy an' there was an accident 3<

< 'fraid your catgirl friend got herself killed 3<

*Karkat stops chewing*
NEPETA IS DEAD?
*forgotten sausage goes flying across the room*
WHICH ONE OF THOSE GREEN FUCKING SMUPPETS DID IT?! I'LL TURN THEM INSIDE OUT! I'LL LITERALLY RIP THEM OPEN, PULL OUT THEIR FUCKING INNARDS, TURN THEIR SKIN INSIDE OUT, STUFF ALL THEIR SHIT BACK IN, AND STITCH THE FUCKER UP!

< none of 'em did. i told you, it was an accident 3<

*He pauses briefly, knowing that Karkat is bound to ask more questions. Or else one of his treacherous crew members will likely be more than happy to elaborate.
Damn brats have no respect for authority.
He'd have to fix that.

He sighs through his nose*

< kid threw herself in front of my knives. nothin' i could do about it 3<

(( ))

*Spades growls*

< of course i fuckin' care 3<

*Eh, not really, but he'd rather avoid messes like these*

< i was aiming for scratch and if there's one fucker that deserves killin' it's that one man freakshow 3<
< don't ask me why your pal thought differently. maybe the doc used some sorta mind control. or she just didn't have a lot of common sense, hell if i know 3<

HE FUCKING KICKED HER?!
*Karkat frowns, arms crossed, clearly seething*
FINE. MAYBE YOU CARE. AND SCRATCH IS DEFINITELY A FLYINGCAVERODENTSHIT-PSYCHO FUCKWAD THAT COULD USE SOME EVISCERATING AND HE COULD EASILY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NEPETA DYING DESPITE YOU BEING THE ONE TO STAB HER SINCE YOU'D THINK SOMEONE LIKE HER WOULD DODGE IF SHE COULD SO MAYBE SHE COULDN'T BECAUSE HE DID SOMETHING TO HER. BUT IF HE DID THAT JUST MAKES HER BEING DEAD WORSE.

((Karkat ignores Aradia RIP))

((yeah, well isn't Aradia alive at this point? you don't the the 0s in her text. so there's no point being upset that she's dead. also, what reply could I give to that that wouldn't just drag things out with more arguing? sure, Karkat could go off on Slick for kicking Nepeta's corpse using that as evidence that he doesn't care and may very well have intentionally killed her or I can leave that be as part of the reason Karkat is seething and we can move on and let other people come in to the conversation))

((edit: okydoky, acknowledged Aradia without dwelling on it overmuch))

((Haha good enough for me))

*Spades gives Aradia another glare*

< you don't know what yer talking about kid, i didn't kick anyone 3<

< anyway glad to see we're in agreement this shit wasn't my fault. i'm sure ygg could tell us more about what the hell went down there since looking back she was acting awful sketchy, but apparently she ain't feelin' all too chatty tonight 3<

((I wasn't around for ygg stuff, should I reread everything (which could take awhile and delay replies if I need to read everything before posting), read a few specific posts (if someone wanted to point me to those), or does someone want to PM me anything that Karkat should know?))

((Here's what KK knows about Ygg: Absolutely fuck all. There ya go! Seriously tho the only people who know Ygg even exists are Doze, Doc, Aradia, Nepeta, Feferi, The Crew, and Kanaya.))

(thanks!))

WHO OR WHAT THE INFINITE FUCK IS AN "YGG" AND WHY SHOULD I FUCKING CARE?
*Karkat's left eyebrow is firmly raised in an incredulous arc*
