016 ♋ Video

[trollsbackwards]

[ good day, City! Karkat fumbles with the communication device just slightly, groaning. this has been a tough month for him and his moirail instincts. actually, it's just been a rough month in general. either way, the face on the screen? it's a little different than normal. see, Karkat is glowing sort of like this instead of that drab gray color. ]

[Luke knows of Alternian vampires ("rainbow drinkers"), but not how they look. Karkat's pale strobe-light complexion brings up the only logical and silly explanation:]

Radioactivity?

[trollsbackwards]

The fuck are you talking about?

[valentineluke]

Your 'glowing' happens to be similar to a low budget science fiction movie's 'radiation exposure' special effect.

[trollsbackwards]

What the fuck, Valentine. I'm not glowing.

[He doesn't even bother with the video, but just comes to him in person and stares]

Are you... a rainbow drinker?

[trollsbackwards]

[ does he look scared? because he is. ]

Fuck, Sollux. What the shit is even happening?

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux isn't scared. He's a little nervous, but he's not scared of getting bitten by Karkat]

Another curthe, I guethh. It theemth like everyone'th turning into monthterth.

[Pause] Do you...need anything?

[trollsbackwards]

My fangs haven't gotten longer or some shit.

I'm fine!

[ for now, but is he on edge? oh yes. ]

[Someone's simply watching this video in silence. Don't mind him, he's not here.]

[sitaronthewater]

Woah.

Karkat, why're you glowing?

[Video]

[trollsbackwards]

Because apparently I am now one of the fucking living dead!

[Video]

[sitaronthewater]

[Why has he heard that phrase before?]

What? You mean, like, dead, but not in the City?

[Video]

[trollsbackwards]

Technically, it would fucking have to be! I haven't died in the City!
