All I'm saying is that I'm not going to waste time sitting around with my thumb up my ass.

[If there was such a thing as a master of subtly, Karkat would not qualify for the title. It was one of the downfalls of traveling with the cerulean -- volume control was never something he had, especially when he was riled. Thanks to Terezi, he had a nice meal almost every day, so that hadn't been the problem. Tension was running high, and he was just about out of patience between Equius and Kanaya.]

Peaceful resistance doesn't fucking work. I don't want to fight anymore than anyone else, but its us or them and as far as I'm concerned, they don't matter. So its going to be us or nobody. I'm not fucking dying anymore in this god damn Tower. I'm done. End. Over. Finished.

[Karkat was nearly blue in the face when he was done talking, having given himself a headache after trying to ward off the monsters that had chased after them days earlier. Clearly his powers weren't meant to look into their minds.]

Wish those fucking meals came with some god damn painkillers.
