[caliginous]

Characters: Members of Group A and YOU
Setting: Fourth Floor -- the white lounge.
Format: WHO EVEN KNOWS
Summary: Karkat attempts to pull everyone into one place for counter-resistance.
Warnings: MALFUNCTION MAY OCCUR, that means depending on who you tag and who tags in, your character may end up injured. Please check individual sub-threads for malfunction warnings! There's also obvious body horror warnings here due to modifications from the event.

[In a room full of white, its not hard to spot the various victims of Jason's latest experiments. Each sits or stands in their own corner on or off furniture talking amongst one another or simply staring at the door waiting for someone to approach them.

Some of them don't look all that approachable, even if it appears that they are completely sane at first glance. Some of them might even look like they don't want to be there.

You won't really know until you approach them.]

I was asked to come here so I showed up.

[He really didn't need any other reason, at the moment. All he wanted was to be back to normal, which wasn't happening anytime soon.]

[yumizuka]

Who asked you?

[ Satsuki stops before him with her hands clasping behind her back in an idle manner. ]

The one who wrote the notes? I got one too, but it didn't tell me to come here specifically.

[concept_killer]

The note too but...

...it's something a little special. I think off of us here got through this problem together. Like, we managed to fight back even though we all got these changes.

[yumizuka]

These changes.

[ She was trying so hard to not notice them as her voice lowers. ] Does it bother you?

[ Because she could make it not bother him if he really wanted oops. ]

[concept_killer]

Of course they do. Living like this is painful, to say the least. I can't even cover all of these up at once.

[What are you even thinking, Satsuki.]

[yumizuka]

I can just tell you it doesn't hurt and...

[ No, she can't. That's wrong and so she manages to bite her tongue. Literally. ]

Ow...

[concept_killer]

[He suddenly perks up. Despite these eyes, he can't really see much.]

Huh? Did someone hurt you?

[yumizuka]

No, I hurt myself. Sorry, that's so embarrassing.

[ Sheepishly adding on: ] Do you want to go somewhere else? I don't like being here.

[concept_killer]

What's wrong with being here? [No, he doesn't know how everyone else looks, sadly.]

flips back in here I GUESS

[yumizuka]

Aren't the others here dangerous? It isn't safe for you to be here and when you're already so...

[ Fragile, but come on what kind of girl tells their boyfriend that? ]

/throws you back into the sick booth

[concept_killer]

Everyone here is like me. I mean, we've all been hurt pretty bad but if they're dangerous, I'm dangerous too, aren't I?

/throws infection at you

[yumizuka]

You're not dangerous.

[ Satsuki pls. ] Come on, let's just go.

i'm immune to everything bring it

[concept_killer]

Do you really think that?

[He wants to know first before he goes.]

not immune to being PUNCHED

[yumizuka]

It'd be weird to be scared of you when we're so close. [ Sheesh. ] So I can't be scared of you.

good thing that's not contagious

[concept_killer]

...right. We are pretty close aren't we? [Hard to tell with all the stalking!!!!!!!!!]

You don't mind that I look like this?

no but i've got plenty of punches to send your way

[yumizuka]

[ Hey now, he can stalk her any day he likes!! ]

I'm angry at the people who did it to you, but there's no way to counter it. If given a chance to meet one of them face-to-face, well, I'd give them a piece of my mind.

bring it

[concept_killer]

When you say 'piece of my mind', hopefully it's not something where you're stuck stuttering.

[okok, he'll go he'll go]

[yumizuka]

[ What she means to say is she'll take a piece of their mind.

Literally. ]

Does it bother you to walk? I can carry you if that isn't strange. [ It's strange that she's offering in the first place!! ] You should be in bed, properly resting, and not doing whatever is it everyone else is.

[concept_killer]

I'd like to avoid that, if possible.

[Being carried by Satsuki...yeah, she'd probably trip and fall.]

I can walk just fine.

[yumizuka]

[ Be the princess, Satsujinki. ]

Alright, sorry I mentioned it. I'm just uncertain what kind of precedence there is for this.

[ Really, how do you deal with your stalkee giving everyone a literal eyeful? ]

[concept_killer]

I don't think there's one of those either. We just have to live with it for now/

[yumizuka]

Well, as long as we're learning together then it's alright. [ What an optimist. ]

[concept_killer]

[He would laugh but-!

He suddenly stops mid-walk and kind of....vibrates.]

[yumizuka]

[ Kinky. ] Hey, are you sure you're feeling alright?

[concept_killer]

[Everyone wants a vibrating Satsujinki.

But there wasn't any response. Only an ever growing killing intent and a knife coming out of his pocket. He's happy to see you Satsuki.]
