Vanitas, would you fucking like to stop your constant need to squirm around?

Shut up, I need a minute to prepare

[ snort. ] If you tense up, you'll only make this fucking worse for yourself.

[ so, so dry. ] Oh, ha ha, you say that like it's not going to hurt. Give me something to bite. [ a beat. ] Your arm is preferred.

It will only hurt like the human conception of Hell for a few seconds, you big wiggler. If you need something to bite, then use your Vanillish. C'mon, Will. Get over here.

[ there's the thudding of footsteps followed by a low 'Axorrrr' from Will, Karkat's Haxorus. ]

I'm not biting that, it tastes like crap! And it's going to hurt long after you shove it back into place, idiot! Get me something to bite or I'm calling this off.

[ another groan. ] Oh my god. Fine! [ the sound that hits the Gear is Karkat digging through his bag. ] Take my extra shirt, shit for brains.

[ there's a grunt and Karkat starts again: ] On the count of three. One... Two - [ insert pop sound and a roar. ] Three.

FFUCK! [ that's a scream, not a yell. ]

You don't sound fine at all! I'm coming over there right now!

[ Or she's going to try to if someone doesn't talk her out of it first, not that she knows where they are. She knows they got through Mt. Mortar, though. That's where she'll start. ]

Just fixing my shoulder. Stay - [OFFSCREEN PUKING SOMEMORE, YEAHHH]

[will_to_burn]

[ Yeaaaaaaah, that is... really going to convince the willful redhead to stay in Goldenrod, Vanitas. Let me tell you. ]

Vanitas-kun?

[ And she's straightening and moving to start stuffing her things in her backpack. A nubby hand briefly passes over the camera. Guess who the cameramon is? ]

Hold tight! I'll be there really soon!

[Sup Mokona, I'm too busy puking over here-] No, don't need to come here. You don't have a flyer anyway so it'd take too long.

[will_to_burn]

I'm not just going to sit here and do nothing, Vanitas-kun! I had to do that during the storm and when that tree fell on Lightning-san and now you're hurt, too! I'm going!

[shadowdive]

[Sucking in a heavy breath, Vanitas at least manages to get his tone to stop sounding so weak.]

I'm fine. It should heal faster than when I did this before, so stay put! [Also Karkat is giving me a hard time because a girl is so worried about me 8||||]

[will_to_burn]

[ If you didn't go getting your popped out of its socket where I could see it, maybe you wouldn't have a girl worrying about you as much. ]

I'm coming there, Vanitas-kun, and nothing you say is going to make me change my mind. I mean it.

[shadowdive]

You don't even know where I am.

[video]

[will_to_burn]

I know you left of Mt. Mortar a few days ago. I'll start there.

[video]

[shadowdive]

Don't you dare go in that cave.

[video]

[will_to_burn]

[ And she's zipping her back-pack up. Hear that? That's the sound of determination. ] I'm going.

[video]

[shadowdive]

[Growling practically, he lets out a sigh.]

Olivine. [Lying through his teeth, but she won't know it till she gets there.]

[video]

[will_to_burn]

Olivine? That's pretty close...

[ And, of course, she doesn't think Vanitas is lying to her. The thought doesn't even cross her mind. ]

Okay. I'll be there soon. Try to get some rest, okay?

[video]

[shadowdive]

It's a long enough walk so pack enough food that you don't starve, idiot. [Scowling though, he grunts and gives a single nod, looking away.] I said I'm fine.

[video]

[will_to_burn]

[ Congratulations, Vanitas. You've earned a smile from the girl. ]

I know, but you can never be too careful!

[video]

[shadowdive]

[STOP SMILING AT ME, I FEEL A LITTLE GUILTY SENDING YOU THE WRONG DIRECTION.] Whatever.

[video]

[will_to_burn]

[ NO, YOU GET A BIGGER SMILE AND A WAVE. NOW DEAL WITH YOUR GUILT. ]

Okay. We'll see you soon!

[video]

[shadowdive]

[Face to palm, yep. What has he done.]
