| Damn. He's not surprised that didn't work, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing. He stops in his tracks, finding grip in the ground and getting ready to dodge, as -counting on instinct rather than aim- he scatter-fires in her general direction. | |

| Nepeta spies the bullest zipping towards her and leaps into the air, landing behind Eridan with a soft thump. She slams the hilt of her knife towards his spine, then ducks and sweeps her leg against his to knock him off his feet | |

| Eridan, sensing his defeat might be imminent, throws himself forward (narrowly avoiding the knife) and turns mid-fall to get another shot. But the leg sweep catches his foot and throws off his momentum, resulting in a landing somewhat less graceful landing than intended, with the back of his head hitting the ground first. A subdued oww and displaced glasses accompany the brief discombobulation. | |

| Moving with the momentum of the leg sweep, Nepeta follows by swinging her leg even more, throwing her whole body into a twist and landing on her hands. She pushes off with a handspring and lands promptly on Eridan's chest, knife at his throat
:33 < bing bong~
Nepeta grins and glances up at Karkat
:33 < how long was that? | |

| Karkat looks up at the stopped crab timer with a smirk, shaking his head. TEN SECONDS. YOU DISAPPOINT ME AMPORA, I THOUGHT YOU'D BE ABLE TO GO AT *LEAST* THIRTY BEFORE DISCOVERING A BRAND NEW WAY TO HUMILIATE YOURSELF. BUT WHY TAKE THE SURFACE STREET TO FAILURE TOWN WHEN THE HIGHWAY IS SO MUCH FASTER? He looks over Nepeta with something akin to being inspired and mildly terrified. THAT WAS SOME... NICE WORK YOU DID THERE. GOOD JOB. | |

| Nepeta blushes, her eyes wide at the surprising praise, then grins and nods vigorously
:33 < thanks karkitty!
Nepeta hops off of Eridan's chest and offers him a hand | |

| *Eridan goes to accept the chivalrous gesture, then remembers his still-sensitive stump. He pushes himself up with his left hand instead, showing the (blood-soaked) other one to clarify he's not just being a sore loser*

She glances pointedly at Karkat and Feferi, the later of whom blushes and smiles, embarrassed | |

| Nepeta starts and glances at Karkat nervously, flashing a weak grin and rapidly gesticulating with her hands
:33 < what are you trying to insinuate here karkat! dont be silly! theres totally nothing going on right fef?
She glances at Feferi who has at this point locked in a wide eyed stare at Karkat, worry and guilt plainly painted across her face. Nepeta walks over to Fef and snaps her fingers in front of her face. She starts, then adopts an equally guilty look
Y-Y-Ea! Nofin fis)(y )(-Er-E, Karkat!
She tries to give Karkat a reassuring grin, but ends up flashing her pointed teeth, making it look more predatory than diplomatic | |

| *There are a few seconds of nothing but silence from Eridan as the gears in his head turn to lift the veil of disbelief. He looks back and forth between the girls and their shoddy excuses of poker faces*
wwhen did you-
*He draws a stifled breath and harks his robot-fingers trough his hair, tainting the purple streak with darker smudges of half-dried blood*
for howw LONG-
*He catches himself. Don't overreact. They are two...completely independent individuals...who are free to make their own choices...regardless of how you feel about them*
howw long has this been a thing | |

| Karkat pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIE TO ME THE LEAST HAVE THE COURTESY TO NOT MAKE IT THAT FUCKING OBVIOUS THAT SOMETHING IS UP. FUCK IF I CARE ANYWAYS. I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO CARE ABOUT LIKE MAKING SURE THIS CITY DOESN'T BURN DOWN FROM SOME ANARCHIST ASSHOLE TO GIVE ANY SHITS ABOUT WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES QUEEN CHUMBUCKET IS DODGING NOW. | |

| NO SHIT? THE FAULT HAS BEEN IN YOUR COURT SINCE YOUR THINK PAN DECIDED TO RUN EXCLUSIVELY ON IT'S FUCKING AGGRAVATION SPONGE. I DON'T GIVE A FLYING JUNGLEHUMPING *FUCK* ABOUT WHAT NEPETA DOES IN HER SPARE TIME BECAUSE OUT OF ALL THE LITTLE NOOKBITING SHITPILE OF PROBLEMS PILED UP ON OUR DOORSTEP, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THEM. WHAT I DO CARE ABOUT HERE IS THAT WHILE BOTH ME AND ERIDAN WERE TRYING TO ACTUALLY GET WORK DONE TODAY- WHETHER IT WAS STAGING A RESCUE MISSION FOR SOMEONE *EXTREMELY* IMPORTANT OR ERIDAN GETTING HIS ASS KICKED TRYING TO START THE FUCKING NAVY- ALL YOU DID WAS FUCK OFF TO ONLY GOD KNOWS WHERE AND HOSTED A PLAINTIVE PITY PARTY FOR ONE LIKE A WRIGGLER BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR WAY, ONLY TO SHOW UP LATER AND LIE TO MY FUCKING FACE THAT *NOTHING* HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND NEPETA. YOU ARE THE MOST OUTSTANDINGLY INCOMPETENT EXCUSE FOR A FUCKING LEADER MY GANDER BULBS HAD THE VOMIT-INDUCING MISFORTUNE OF SEEING, AND I'VE SEEN BOTH TAVROS AND HIS GHOST ARMY AS WELL AS MY-FUCKING-SELF ON THE GOD DAMN METEOR.

| YOU WANT TO TALK FUCKING RATIONAL? I'LL GIVE YOU FUCKING RATIONAL YOU DISGUSTING VACUOUS DOUCHEWAGON! RATIONAL ISN'T FUCKING OFF THE SECOND SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOU, AND IT *CERTAINLY* ISN'T THE CONSTANT STREAM OF HOOFBEAST SHIT SPEWING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH LIKE YOUR TONGUE IS THE NEWEST SLIDE AT A AQUATIC ENTERTAINMENT VENUE. IF YOU SHUT YOUR IGNORANCE TUNNEL AND ACTUALLY THOUGHT THINGS THROUGH FOR TWO GODDAMN SECONDS MAYBE YOU'D FUCKING REALIZE THAT MEENAH AND I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WE'RE FUCKING DOING. UNLIKE SOME OF US, WE GOT TO THIS POINT BY HAVING FUCKING QUALIFICATIONS INSTEAD OF PLAYING THE BLOOD CARD.

| Feferi gets in his face, starting Karkat down with fury and pain
You glubbing-!!!
Nepeta darts between them and gives them BOTH a shove, sending Feferi into the grass and Karkat back into the wall
:33 < what the furrick are you two DOING! calm the hell down you two! youre both acting like little grubs right now and you are both better than that!
But )(-E-
:33 < hes being karkitty! gog im more aware than anyone that karkitty can be a jerk sometimes but i expected better from you fef!
Feferi grumbles to herself but doesn't outright object, instead climbing to her feet and brushing herself off
:33 < and you!
Nepeta whips around and sticks her finger out at Karkat, frowning, but not openly hostile
:33 < stop picking fights with feferi and maybe we can have an actual chat without people constantly fighting! youre assuming a lot here just like m33nah did when she kicked me back in the forest | |

| Karkat crossed his arms. THIS IS *NOTHING* LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT SHITLICKING, SOCIOPATHIC-! Karkat shut his mouth, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, gathering all of the strength this poor crab needed to not explode. He reopened his eyes, not making direct eye contact with Nepeta. OK, FINE. LET'S TALK. | |

| Nepeta sighs with relief and relaxes, taking up her saccharine disposition once more. She glances at Fef, who has since picked herself off the ground and is standing off to her right, gazing at her and Karkat with a mixture of frustration, guilt, anger, and tentativeness
:33 < well eridan im not sure if that is purrticularly your business :33 < normally i would tell you but i dont like to gossip and i would n33d fefs purrmission to tell you :33 < and i think we both know what her response would be

Go a)(E-ad if you want, N-Ep-Eta. I'm )(ardly as)(am-Ed and )(-E would find out soon-Er or lat-ER.
:33 < erm okay then! :33 < so uh you remember how in that doomed timeline feferi and i became sprited together? | |
