15 Minutes Late to the Colosseum w/o Starbucks

Transporters are great and all, but the feeling of being transported is usually pretty shitty.

Especially for Karkat.

And the fucking demon dog following them certainly didn't help either. He was a bit perturbed at this mongrel’s sudden appearance and shadowing.

After quite a bit of walking and incessant exploring on Jade's part, the shouty troll begins to feel quite nauseous. A strange dizziness envelopes his skull, and he even has to stop moving to regain his bearings. This usually involves the teen swearing and driving the heels of his palms into his tired eye-sockets.

Then, it kinda comes to a head. The young Vantas has to briefly excuse himself to go dry heave in a sparse scrap of shrubbery along the side of the road.

He groans at Jade from behind the foliage.

“It feels like my intestines are fucking dust!”


“But then you’d be dead, Karkat!” She replies cheerfully. Silly alien.

After that brief moment of unpleasantness, the horned alien stumbles back from around the bushes, both birds flipped. He walks purposefully a ways behind Jade for a little while, watching as she frolics to and fro the various shops. He chances another look at the time on his huskphone.

Ah, shit.

The crabby kid snags a stick of strange gum from a food vendor stall (without paying). Smacking noisily on it, trying to get the taste of dusty intestine out of his mouth, he makes an advance on Harley.

No, you asshole, not THAT kind of advance.

He makes a mov-

He tries to-

He goes to grab Jade.

“Hey! Harley!” Karkat’s hand doesn’t even make it to her shoulder.

Becquerel develops a low rumble in the back of his throat. Karkat recoils, pulling his hand back as fast as he can. The Guardian Dog quiets himself.

Eyes still on the white beast, he slowly moves his hand closer to Jade.

“Grrrr……”

The troll refrains from touching Jade.

“Uh...Yeah. Listen, I know that your whimsy is probably pretty close to rivaling the clown’s but maybe we should get going.”

The human girl grabs him by the arm.

Karkat almost flinches, his eyes spotlighting that damn barkbeast thing.

Bec doesn’t do anything. He just wags his tail and watches.

Watches.

Makes his spine freeze.

“Look! That must be the Colosseum, where Gamzee and Adam are,” Harley insists on leading Karkat through the throng of shoppers and shop-keeps and any other festivity-goers. “Let’s go see!”

And so they go to see.
