Grundy stood there, glowering, as Jade backed away from the confrontation and gave a hint-heavy statement about backing off and leaving the angry man to his own devices. Slowly taking a step backwards, he divided his attention between the rest of the group and the two in front of him, although he really didn't want to leave the friendly green plant mage alone with the angry man. Grundy felt sorry for Valerie, since he didn't look nearly half as strong as the rest of them. In fact, he looked more like his wrist would snap if he tried to throw a heavy punch. The hefty revenant had a soft spot in his tumerous heart for friends of his that couldn't snap trees in half with their bare hands, although Jade had said there was a much better adventure ahead of them than pounding this yelling bodybuilder into the dirt.
Grundy snapped forward towards the new voice, startled as he saw a suit of ornately gilded armor standing before the group, ostensibly with a person inside. The giant bared his broken yellow teeth at him in a grimace. He might be another angry person intent on yelling at his friends. "GRUNDY NOT KNOW YOU!" The newcomer held up heavily gauntleted hands in reply, and backed away. A stray thought fizzled in the back of Grundy's head, in that the Armor Man might be someone fun to fight with. The monster always liked a challenge, especially against people encased in metal. It was fun peeling them out of it when it had broken.
Turning away, the alabaster automaton caught the small child riding the big fluffy dog waving at him, and his expression softened a little bit. He started to raise a hand to wave back, when suddenly-
SPLOT
"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHH!"
Grundy felt blindly along his shoulders, reaching with his clumsy, hard fingers for the object lodged in his expansive and spongy trapezius, eventually snagging a squirming leg and yanking it out with a wet SCHLURP. Holding the wriggling thing in front of him, Grundy was surprised to see a multicolored boy, screaming his head off. Angrily. And cursing a blue streak, too.
"HOLY SHIT MOTHER OF GOD PUT ME DOWN YOU UGLY PIECE OF UNDEAD DUNG AND GENTLY MIND YOU OR I SWEAR TO WHATEVER STUPID GOD YOU BELIEVE IN I WILL SICKLE YOUR ASS FASTER THAN GAMZEE CAN CHUG A FAYGO"
The force of the outburst nearly blew Grundy's hair backwards, although it was quite messy already. He didn't quite understand most of it, except "put me down", so he complied. By releasing his grip, the troll still upside down and about six feet in the air. Karkat thudded into the bleak whiteness of the Nexus, staining it (and unbeknowst to him, Grundy's back) with fruity Faygo colors. "YOU LOOK LIKE RAINBOW. ARE YOU CLOWN, LITTLE MAN?"
Grundy barely noticed the other boy walk up and wave, too many things going on around him at once to focus. Oh well. He had plenty of friends around already, and no doubt that he'd make plenty more before this adventure was over. Not to mention, plenty of treasure. Although he was getting the feeling that if the rest of them didn't listen to Jade and keep moving, they'd have to have a real big fight before the group could go anywhere. Either outcome sounded like fun.
