stayb100ponyboy[The SFC feed clicks on, showing a small, darkish bedroom and someone wrapped in blankets like a cocoon, completely swaddled and hidden. The feed rolls cheerfully along for a moment or two, until the blankets shift, falling away as the person under them props himself up on one elbow, his back to the camera. Even without seeing his face, it's pretty difficult to not recognize Equius Zahhak just by his size and broken horn alone.
He reaches out with one hand, fumbling for something on a small table on the other side of the bed. The camera catches just a glimpse of a glass full of water before it shatters in his grip, the breaking sound almost unbearably loud in the otherwise silent room.
Equius' shoulders roll forward, hunching in around his chest, and he appears to study his hand for a moment, watching a few trickles of blue blood run down his fingers, before he grunts and pulls the blankets back over his head. The blankets move around him as he curls into a ball and sighs, deeply, before he stops moving.
The feed keeps running for another couple of minutes before it cuts off.]

[VIDEO, filtered] because he's not going to spread his hateflirting everywhere
Date: 2011-06-13 09:53 am (UTC)This is sad. So damn pathetic that maybe we aren't cut out for something caliginous after all.
[He's exaggerating, definitely, but anything to piss him off.]
[Video, filtered] because he's not a hateslut either
Date: 2011-06-13 10:05 am (UTC)Guess whose going to be looking to cause some trouble today now?]
Like you could tell me to do anything. I would rather die of thirst than drink from a glass that you offered me. The pollution from your filthy little hands would probably kill me anyway, so I'd choose my own death by dehydration, thank you.

Date: 2011-06-13 10:11 am (UTC)Except for the fact that when I had them, you didn't, so that certainly made it worthwhile.
[Video, filtered]
Date: 2011-06-13 10:24 am (UTC)Who the fuck can't even handle a damn glass, Equius?
[Video, filtered]
Date: 2011-06-13 12:15 pm (UTC)Would you like to come over here and see what I can handle?
[Video, filtered]
Date: 2011-06-13 12:17 pm (UTC)And what? Have you stare at me like a fucking stalker?
[Video, filtered]
Date: 2011-06-13 12:25 pm (UTC)But that gets boring rather quickly, so he breaks it and then responds.]
You asked who can't handle a glass. I can't, but there's many, many other things I am quite... adept at handling. I was simply inviting you over for a demonstration.
They're called manners, Vantas. Surely your lusus must have taught you at least some?

Date: 2011-06-13 12:28 pm (UTC)[But, he considers it, and he can't deny knowing where Equius is may have its benefits. That... and he is a bit curious what his kismesis is getting at.]
Fine, whatever. Just don't expect me to compliment the decor.
[Video, filtered]
Date: 2011-06-13 12:56 pm (UTC)I live in the small building behind the abandoned warehouse. Don't dawdle on your way over.
[He pauses, then the leer stretches even further.]
And Vantas... I'm sure you'll love the decor.
[Click!]
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-06-13 01:00 pm (UTC)[He wouldn't put it past Equius to lead him into a trap.]
[He makes his way over, taking his pace as leisurely as he likes. No one said he couldn't be an annoyance anyway.]
[Once he reaches the building in question, he's wary and uncertain, not knowing what to expect. Should nothing stop him, he goes to knock at the door.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-06-13 01:10 pm (UTC)Karkat does manage to knock, once or twice, before the door slams open inward, and there's Equius, looming in the doorway and staring down at him. The room behind him is full of shadows... shadows, and at least one set of glowing red robot eyes.
Equius has his arms hanging limp at his sides, but there's a space between them and his ribs, and it's through this gap that two robot arms shoot out, aiming to grab Karkat around his upper arms. If the smaller troll doesn't move quickly, that robot is going to grab him.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-06-13 01:17 pm (UTC)[When the door swings open so forcefully, his attention is naturally drawn to Equius. It's hard to miss him, as toweringly tall as he is over one so short. And well, it's not like he's gone out of his way to look for his presence the past week, regardless of how he may come to regret not taking advantage of his lessened strength then.]
[But then his gaze catches the red glow of robot eyes, and before he can react, suddenly a pair of metal hands are around his biceps.]
Fuck! Fucking hell, Equius!
[And through his squirming and curses, he realizes he should have expected something like this.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-06-13 01:27 pm (UTC)That's one thing I can handle.
[He turns around then, ducking under the robot's arm, and walks into the dark room. Unless Karkat can manage to wiggle free, that robot is going to yank him into the room too.]
[Video; 1/2]
Date: 2011-06-13 03:36 pm (UTC)Clearly Something Need To Be Done. (capitals and everything)]
[Video; 2/2]
Date: 2011-06-13 03:39 pm (UTC)[Cause he is so coming over. Is that even a question?]
video;
Date: 2011-06-13 06:04 pm (UTC)Er, smelling.
Oh, your blood tastes like blueberries. Don't mind Terezi, she's just going to be sitting here licking her SFC until you interrupt her. ]
Video; filtered for angst
Date: 2011-06-13 09:46 pm (UTC)[Great. Just great. That means everyone on the network probably saw it.]
If you want to, that would be appreciated.

Date: 2011-06-13 09:48 pm (UTC)Just what I wanted to see, first thing this morning. What do I taste like?
[And you say sweat, he's hanging up this call immediately.]

Date: 2011-06-13 10:02 pm (UTC)[A short pause, like he wants to say something more, and then...]
Thank you.
[Quickly shutting off the SFC now to hide all this emotion that's floating around the room.]
Video; filtered; On Alternia they tableflip
Date: 2011-06-13 10:06 pm (UTC)Pushing the door open, he pokes his head in, smiling cheerfully despite the situation.]
Hey, bro. Brought you something to get them motherfuckin' prongs of ya to stop gettin' their bleed on.
Video; filtered; or punch robots
Date: 2011-06-13 10:10 pm (UTC)Don't step on the glass on the floor.
[His voice is flat and dead-sounding.]
