A.N:: And so the shenanigans ensue. xD This "story" if you can even call it that is literally a giant swath of random ideas and possible head-cannons I decided to expand a bit and will most likely end up only loosely connected to one another, if that. So then, shall we begin?


Title:: Our Perthonal Athylum
Word Count:: 1,515
Warning:: Cannon swearing xD
Summary:: Somehow, they all made it through. It had taken more than Karkat thought they had in them but it was true. Now all that's left is to decide what to do next... this should be fun.

They had made it.

In spite of rampant imps, tyrant queens, time shenanigans, and a majorly supped up Jack Noir everyone was alright and aboard the meteor express, shooting through the vast abyss of scenic Furthest Ring away from what should have been the destruction of the Green Sun. It had taken more than a shit load of blood spanning the entire spectrum, sweat, and tears to match to not only get to this point but do it with no one dead more than once, ok maybe more when it came to Aradia, but it was accomplishment none the less.

Needless to say one Karkat Vantas felt as if a momentous weight were briefly lifted from his young shoulders. He still felt haggard and thoroughly exhausted as his yellowing irises trailed over the assembled group of trolls, plus two newly created God Tier humans, but still glad to some extent. There was no telling what would await them once they reached the newly created session or how they would manage spending so much time with one another though he found he didn't really care to think about it now.

Dave and Rose were glancing between each other and themselves with muted expressions of surprise at their abrupt transfer from blast zone to solid ground but ended up gazing about at the trolls who now milled about. Most of them had refused to take part in the pestering of said kids and were partly intrigued by the aliens, with the humans sharing the same feeling as they glimpsed the trolls for the first time. It was like a dual way zoo and Karkat only rolled his eyes as he began to trudge in their direction and turned his back on where the Green Sun still shone. It was retreating into a luminous pinprick among the endless darkness and shadowy forms and already seemed very far away, its continuing existence was another thing that could be put off dealing with to later. Now he would just have to make a half-assed attempt at rounding everyone up and possibly sorting out how their stay on the jet propelled hunk of rock would go down. He didn't quite have the chance though.

After taking a few heavy steps forward that left his feet barely breaking contact with the ground a bright light flashed before the Cancer among the loose ring of his friends with an accompanying CRACK. His rebellious think pan immediately supplied a helpful gaggle of scenarios including a rapid spawn of bloodthirsty imps with very much troublesome First Guardians powers as well as a dive-bomb by one pissed onslaught of mutant, katana wielding canine. He stumbled backwards with one hand fluttering clumsily to the sickle hanging at his side but felt his expression sag into an irritated deadpan at the appearance of their new, ahem, guests.

With a particularly dopey expression of surprise plastered across his face and blue eyes blinking out of a daze behind thick lenses John Egbert now stood among them. Jade was beside him with a pleased smile and girlish giggle accompanied by a twitch of her ears. Wait, ears? Since when did godhood make for a half woof-beast mutant? As if there weren't enough of those running around at this point. Not finding much motivation within him to particularly care or question this at the moment Karkat simply let the hand with a death grip on his sickle handle slacken to fall limp at his side once more. Eyeing the two other humans he then stalked the few more feet forward that were necessary to bring him among the others.

"Well look who finally decided to join the party," Vriska's voice floated out from where she stood off to the side with arms crossed and fangs flashing in a fierce grin as her wings fluttered briefly behind her. John gave a couple more rapid blinks at that and seemed to suddenly realize his location judging by how he glanced about in visible wonderment, taking in the numerous trolls and stopping on his friends long enough to flash them an enthusiastic smile. Rose simply returned the expression with a soft one of her own and Dave lifted his hand lazily to display a brief thumbs up. The same exchange repeated as Jade raised one arm straight up to wave frantically in their direction before taking a grip on the collar of John's God Tier hood and dragging him over to them bodily.

She chattered something unintelligible to the other two to which they responded with varying calm murmurs and gestures waving off her apparent concerns. The four seemed momentarily oblivious to the dozen other aliens mere feet from them and Karkat found himself growling irritably.

"Yeah yeah now we can be one big, happily fucked up family. My enthusiasm is overflowing," He retorted to which the Scorpio replied with a thin smirk and rude gesture, this he readily returned.

"I think it's just purrfect," Nepeta chimed with her usual enthusiasm, Equius looking none too pleased as his morail did so. A superiority complex towards the humans was most likely already fast in the making. "Even after that catastrophe we all managed to make it here."

"Yes I think it's glubbing fantastic!" Came Feferi from the left of the loose circle and as a follow up she practically pranced over towards the four to look them over with wonderment gleaming in her eyes. "No horns? I truly had to sea it for myshellf." The fuchsia blood moved as if to begin prodding their heads to confirm that they were indeed missing said appendages before Eridan dragged her back none to gently.

A round of heated bickering erupted between the two sea-dwellers not a moment later and Karkat was about to break out a double facepalm combo before a lilting laugh made him pause. The sound had come from John who now looked positively gleeful standing among his friends and the inquisitive trolls with not a clue in hell how this had all managed to work out. He only continued grinning in that almost painful looking ear-to-ear stretch and slung an arm over Dave's shoulders who promptly began attempting to shrug him off as nonchalantly as possible, to no avail.

"And just what the fuck is so fucking funny you wriggling nook-sniffer?" Karkat snapped in a particularly colorful bout of expression.

"What do you think, Karkat?" John practically sing-songed with a punctuating giggle, what guy actually giggled anyway? "Not only are we all together and alive but I actually get to see the guys behind the multicolored text, heh."

If it was physically possible for one person's… troll's expression to darken even further then Karkat accomplished this goal as he glowered silently in response before throwing his hands up in exaggeration.

"Yeah whoopdie-fucking-doo," He said with sarcasm practically dripping from his tone. To his further irritation John only continued his insufferable beaming, and to make matters worse a fair number of the others seemed to be falling prey to the positivity rolling off the Heir in waves of sunshine and rainbows. A chorus of light-hearted chatter and the occasional laugh erupted from the other trolls as they turned to exchange a word with those nearby but, either way, Karkat was having none of this shit.

"OK LOOK," He boomed with a voice to match his typing style that effectively drew attention to him once more. Once he was sure of their alertness he lifted one hand to press at his temple and distribute a glare evenly around the area, pointed incisors bearing slightly. "We've got a long trip ahead of us and that means we're going to be seeing a fucking ungogly amount of each other. If possible we'll have to lay down some fucking guidelines so most of us can make it out with totally melting our pans into steaming goop."

"In other wordth," Sollux lisped from behind Karkat causing him to jump with a collection of angry swearing and then chuckled roughly. "Welcome to our perthonal floating athylum."


A.N:: Well I suppose that's it. :3 A fair beginning if I do say so myself, low standards are always effective, that leads well into what I have planned for the rest of this. I also use the word "planned" very loosely since this work in general is just an excuse for my snippets to be as unrelated and choppy as I care for them to be. Welp, should be entertaining either way no?
