4. Bane vision
You stop being Karkat and ponder on using this opportunity to get a better outlook on things, then you realize that it might be even better to become one of the two who actually know what's going on, you can't be the seemingly young queen right now so you'll have to settle for someone else
==Be Benedict
You are now the best bane on Atlantis, Benedict Doe, you are swimming besides your kingdom's ruler and the person you call your friend, a mermaid that barely changed throughout the years, you've known her for the longest time and can verify that she looks about the same, maybe a bit more mature
You are busy wondering what's on her mind as per usual, so busy in fact that you almost don't notice when you get to the main plaza, which is bustling with activities, all sorts of merfolk move in the colorful city, one of the reasons you like it so much here, because no matter how many times Robin says she's no queen, you know damn well that she's the reason the Atlantic kingdom has citizens of all three parts of the merfolk, you also know that with how rare merpeople are it was this what made the kingdom so big in the first place, really Robin needed a reality check sometimes
Two familiar voices approach you; you recognize Jake and Jane even before the group stops, you think the different coloring of the northern merpeople has the trolls confused; it confused you when you first found out, the two make a short bow to Robin and she rolls her eyes but smiles anyways
"I zee you two got here in time, I have zome newcomerz here" said Robin
She then swam in between the two and smiled again, first she pointed to Jake
"The merman in the green zcalez iz Jake Englizh, our page, he'z in charge with the long range weaponry and other military-izh ztuff" explained Robin
She then pointed to the blue blooded troll looking at Jake
"I'd like you to give thiz lady here a tour" said Robin
"Of course, we can start right now, if you'd follow me" said Jake
The troll smiles and then gives a bow to Robin before following Jake, then Robin turns to Jane and the black-haired grins
"I'm ready for my orders your highness" said Jane making a mock salute
Robin laughs, you know she likes Jane because of the way the other treats her so normally
"Well, thiz gal in the really bright blue zcalez iz our only DI, alzo captain of one of the army'z divizionz" explained Robin
Then she looked at the mustard blood, anyone else might have passed the look as just another smile, but experience had taught you that the look the red-head had now was a calculating one, there was obviously something more to the troll, maybe another psiionic? Wouldn't surprise him at this point
"I want you to take thiz gentleman to the hive, I have a feeling he knowz hiz way with underwater machinery" said Robin
"Roger that!" said Jane
She swam to the troll grinning; he seemed quite amused by all of this
"Come on, let me show you the base!" said Jane
She then glances at you, you raise an eyebrow and roll your eyes when she just winks and leaves, the troll follows her without much talking, then you go back to watching the remaining too, the re-head is grinning now
"Well, now that that'z done with, what do you zay we move somewhere elze zo I can explain what iz going to happen?" asked Robin
She's looking at the troll, Karkat you remind yourself, you'll probably end up sailing with the troll, might as well remember his name, sure your sister might joke about you never going to the surface but you actually have no issues doing it, it just didn't really catch your attention until now, Jake was the adventurer, but you were needed this time, Robin had been rather vague in her first explanation saying they needed the troll before she could say anything else, you didn't question it and really you hardly ever do, but to be fair she's hardly eve wrong
==Stop being Benedict
