[bgcolor=#e61515][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Lets hope all irritants remain to a minimum; Kankri sort of knew first hand just how strong Aradiabot may be- even in a neutered context of her not actually striking him. Kankri would do his best to make sure things continued to run smoothly, he was an awesome host so far! He tried not to stare at her too much, but even though Kankri had no stock in robotics, he found her metal work interesting. It was amazing just how accurate her body was to her original; If there were any differences that weren't super overt—such as the fact that she was inorganic—Kankri couldn't catch them. His smile faded away to a more neutral expression at the mention of Jack, he's heard of this [i]thing[/i] from many a Dead Karkat. "Yes, I am s9mewhat familiar with this Jack j9ker, such an an9mal9us asset 9f y9ur sessi9n is regretta6le."[br] [br]Kankri was a Prospit Dreamer, so he wasn't the one who would have had to deal with the stabby Dersite- at least under normal circumstances, anyways. "Y9u were quite instrumental, if n9t f9r y9u, wh9 kn9ws h9w many m9re timelines w9uld suffer.

[url=https://imgur.com/a/karkat-vantas-dayfZ67][color=#626262]KARKAT:[/url][color=#626262] Considering how different the flow of time was in the bubbles, it had been quite a long time since Karkat had visited this particular dream bubble. He’d made a point of simply staying in the same place in whatever memory he happened to wake up in, and even dreaming up elaborate puzzles just to hide away from everyone. But there wasn’t a whole lot he could do when he fell asleep and found himself practically right outside the shithole that he had run away from the last time. Hopefully that shitty party was over. But considering he could still hear some kind of shitty music playing all the way from outside… That didn’t seem to be the case. Yeah, there was no way in hell that he was about to go in there. Not after everything that happened last time.[br] [br] 19:45:13
[color=#626262]Karkat let out a deep sigh. God, every single bubble in this void is like hell. He was about ready to start walking away, but before he had the chance to even turn away from the building he heard a window shatter, the music becoming much more audible, only for someone to slam into him at mach fucking ten. “AUGH-” He practically got launched several feet, probably with the perpetrator on top of him. A loud groan left him before it was followed by an annoyed shout, arms flailing and swatting at the person above him. “WHAT THE FUCK!” He opened his eyes, squinting angrily before seeing who it was. Granted, who he saw didn’t piss him off any less, especially considering he was [i]so fucking tall.[/i] Karkat was about ready to blow. Thankfully, he took a deep breath to keep himself under control.[br] [br] 19:45:14
[color=#626262]He pressed his hand against Dave’s shoulder to give himself some space, pushing himself up a little off of the ground. “HOLY SHIT, IS THE PARTY SUCH A GALACTIC SHITSHOW THAT EVEN A DAVE CAN’T DEAL WITH IT? I MEAN, IT WAS PRETTY BAD THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE, BUT THAT’S HONESTLY KIND OF AMAZING-” Karkat cut himself off when he got a better look at the other, his previously angry brows flying up into an expression more akin to one of concern. “DUDE, YOU’RE BLEEDING! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? I KNOW THE PEOPLE IN THERE ARE A BUNCH OF IGNORAMUSES BUT I DON’T REALLY THINK THAT CONSTITUTES JUMPING OUT A WINDOW WITH RECKLESS ABANDON AND RENDING YOUR OWN SHIT THIS BAD.” 19:45:21

For now she won’t show concern, continuing to hold him and giving him the room to breathe and calm himself. She has no way of knowing exactly what to expect or how he will react to anything at this exact moment. [br] [br]As he shifted in her lap to get more comfortable, her purrs would continue to stay quite loud, unfortunately despite the offer of moving him somewhere else he wanted to be stubborn about it and stay. Well he is a strider after all, they tend to be stubborn at times. Then a karkat had showed up, well a dead version of him. This had to have been the cruelest jokes in all of history in her eyes. Really showing up at a time like this. She knew dave was going to freak out, he had done something like this before. So she knows he tends to flee and hide, which makes perfect sense for someone who can actually run. [br] [br] 20:04:13
[color=#005682]Right on cue, when his instincts kicked in, he flashstepped away and out a window. Even if she had tried to stop him she knew he was faster and unfortunately his powers could cause just as many problems if not kept in check, she’d then proceed to get up from her spot and make her way towards the main door. However on her way out she’d grab a handful of chips and throw them at the dead karkat out of spite. Once she exited the building and walked over towards where the broken window and where dave would have landed, oh fuck its the living karkat from before. But more importantly dave is now injured even if it’s just his dreamself it was better not to chance anything in her eyes. [br] [br] She’d stop behind karkat, hearing everything he had just said. She usually had no real facial expression but this time, she had a scowl. Which would soften quickly, “Karkat, please understand he’s 8een through quite the ordeal.” moving from behind karkat over to daves side bending over and holding her hand out to help him up. “Please do not try and flee Dave, I am only here to help you.” she almost never admits to worry but right now she genuinely is, she will follow him no matter where he runs in the bubbles though. 20:05:26

Besides, it wasn’t as though she had much experience with the humans, anyhow. She only knew bits and pieces from checking botlogs in preparation. “the jack fr0m that sessi0n had the p0wers 0f a first guardian there was n0thing we w0uld be able t0 d0 against him but his appearance was inevitable just as us actually claiming 0ur reward was als0 inevitable” Quite a dreary point to make, but that was just how things were.

Run through his chest with the katana when he had the chance. But no, nooo, you needed to [i]prove[/i] something and fight back. Where'd that leave you? Bloodied. Beat up in the rain. Hollowed out.

The choked feeling gives way to an actual [i]sob[/i] as Karkat's hand is on his bloodied shoulder. Pushing him back. The anger's so achingly familiar. The concern, even, makes him want to dissipate on the spot.[br] [br]Dave's shades are askew, red eyes revealed. Brimming with tears and they're freefalling over his cheeks, into the insides of his shades and even onto Karkat's face. Just as Mindfang appears to try and remedy the situation, Dave's going to absolutely [i]fuck up[/i]. Self restraint blown to the wind. Dave hugs Karkat. Or tries to. He [i]shouldn't.[/i] But does.
