CG: SO THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO POST OF THE BUNCH.

[fuckity]

So, ummmmmm.

[ Cue a teenage boy addressing the network! Well, he's sort of like a teenage boy, if teenage boys were grey and had sharp nails and tiny candy corn horns. There are bags under his eyes like he hasn't slept in about, uh, a decade, and he rubs at one of them in irritation, his lips peeling back into a bit of a snarl. ]

What gives? Exactly? I sign up for one thing and get a-fucking-nother? What the everloving turd is up with that? Oh, hey, guys, Karkat's showed up, let's all change the rules and move everything around and really confuse everyone and shit! Haha! Thank you and fuck you very kindly!

[ He pauses a beat, face still screwed up into something irritated - 'tch', he punctuates everything with a glance off to the side and seems to be thinking hard about something. ]

I'm going to look for apple juice. Because I know some asshole and he never shuts the actual bleeding fuck up about apple juice. If I can find anything on this thing!!

[Wow he's so pointy. Best. Cassel's actually grinning despite the circumstances.]

Yeah, it's all a conspiracy against you.

[fuckity]

[ Karkat is not grinning. Karkat is anti-grin and taking this sarcasm at face value. ]

That's what I'm saying! What kind of bullshit invitation is that?

[patheticvillain]

I don't know, man, maybe you should write a letter of complaint?

[with_my_teacup]

[Grumpy kitchen staff is grumpy.]

Yeah, we usually keep the food in the cafeteria.

[fuckity]

[ Karkat deadpans in return: ]

Oh, wow, food in a cafeteria; here, let me download that novel concept that never occurred to me before in the first place.

[with_my_teacup]

So why don't you come the fuck over, happy to give you directions once you tell me where you actually are, and see if we have some.

[mistconduct]

Priorities. This guy has 'em.

[fuckity]

I have priorities coming out of every sphincter I own, pal!

Well, come on. You can't sign up some asshole for one thing and then give a complete other. How's a guy supposed to get used to anything at any time?

[mistconduct]

What's the thing you signed up for, asshole?

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara is officially Tired Of This Shit, but Karkat is kind of like an angry kitten, and she finds herself smiling a little.]

Kitchen's on level one. Have you seen your room number?

[fuckity]

See? Fucking helpful. That's all I ask.

[ He makes a face, scrubbing irritably at the back of his head. ] Somethingy something level two. Tell me, was it purposeful to make this thing labyrinthine or is that just to piss off the new fuckheads around town?

[bodilesswarrior]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just to piss us off.

How'd you like a tour? I'm feeling a bit restless. [Her tower is half its size and her security system has been gutted. She wouldn't mind leaving for a while.]

[hellofist]

Don't think... "fuck you" counts as kindly.

[Just sayin'.]

video

[fuckity]

Well, for goodness' sake, it's not like I said 'viciously, with a chainsaw'. They just need to go fuck themselves gently in their own corner.

video

[hellofist]

[Just. Staring. Because what.]

I don't think- [No, no she's just going to stop there.]

Um. We don't... really know what's happening. Not yet. Sorry you... came at bad time.

[ichoosefight]

Long story short: shenanigans.

I've got applejuice in my fridge though. It's pretty much the only nice place left on this stupid boat.

[fuckity]

Oh, well, thank you very much, my eyes have been thoroughly fucking opened on this matter. [ Can you hear that sarcasm? It's potent. ]

What's so nice about a dumb room? No, you know what, tell me: Is this supposed ambrosia so fantastic as I've been hearing? Because I've heard songs (read: whinings) of it crowed for fucking days in my general direction.

video;

[ichoosefight]

Glad to be of service. [ Look at how many fucks she gives! Not a single one. Not a one in the world. ]

They've taken away everything else that made this place bearable, just about.

...Isn't ambrosia like, orange juice and coconut? I've never had it, but it sounds good.

[routemistress]

[Iris is still in shock, partly from being randomly teleported and demoted, but mostly from having her TARDIS disappear. Karkat cheers her up a little, because she loves anyone that gets pissy and combative in a crisis and because he's the second of his species she's met and she adored the first one.]

'Ello, poppet. I'm afraid you arrived at a bit of a bad time. I don't think I've got any apple juice, but I've still got gin an' lemon.

[video]

[fuckity]

Oh, just my goddamn luck. Let's rain an entire army of shitcakes down upon the new Karkat, way to go, guys!

[ He's never heard of gin before and it reads in his expression, a careful beat of pause before he answers slowly. ] O- kayyyy, is that similar?

[video]

[routemistress]

Not a lot, no, but you might like it. Mindfang liked the lemon-flavoured while she were 'ere - dunno if that might be a species thing or just 'er, though.

You've got a flair for turn of phrase and all, I loved that about 'er.

[strangehistorian]

I'm sorry. This is a surprise to all of us.

[fuckity]

Is this a regular type thing? Spring mountains of shit upon the vessel and its unsuspecting passengers?

[espanola]

[Oh, he's very small. This tiny person is a warden. Why? Chin, meet hands.]

Apple juice? Now?

[He doesn't sound annoyed or baffled, just amused.]

video

[fuckity]

[ Karkat, on the other hand, does sound mildly annoyed with him. But then that's kind of a permanent thing and nothing personal. ]

Yes, now, why not? I'm here and there's apple juice.
