Short chapter y'all. ^^ Not a whole lot to say about it so have at it. Also, am I really doing alright with this? :c I feel like my writing is really terrible.
John had spoken with every single troll by the end of the two days Karkat had been gone. It was obvious by now he was not coming back. By now many others were concerned and insisted they all go out to find him. Rose and Kanaya were both on the side that leaving him to be would probably do none of them any good. For some reason they had some silent idea that they refused to share with everyone else. In just a few more minutes everyone else would be here. Everyone who cared that was.
The human had also somehow allowed himself to speak with Eridan to see if he had any clues. Much to his chagrin he did. Why he knew something was beyond what John could comprehend right now. Complete overload was how this situation felt at the moment. For these two days of the fuckass being gone it felt empty like something was missing. It was irritating as John couldn't even sleep without thinking of the bastard.
Fiddling with the string on his hoodie he looked around the room nervously. He'd never realized how much of this shit was his but now that he had stared at everything for two days nonstop he realized that Karkat seriously hadn't bought anything. It made him wonder if the troll had ever considered this place home, probably not. It made his stomach churn to think about it. John hadn't done shit to even make the troll feel welcome which made him feel even worse about this mess.
Hearing a knock at the door allowed John to finally stop his mind from making him feel even shittier. How that was possible was beyond him. Standing to answer the door it swung open with a kick from his best friend who was carrying the blind troll. "Hey Egderp, everyone is downstairs already," the blond kid stated in his usual chill manner.
"What? Already?" He paused the think about it before following after the two downstairs. Then again now that he checked his watch it was quite late. "How long has everyone been waiting?"
"For almost half an hour John," Dave stated with a shrug as he finally set Terezi down.
Looking between each troll then the humans John bit his lip. "Well… I think we should start going now." He already feared the worst for what could happen to that troll. With everyone's help it'd been narrowed down to a few places in Alternia, mainly his hive. After they all nodded in agreement, save for a few begrudging members of the party, they all started off. The person in the lead was actually Vriska, who was hissing under her breath about how stupid Karkat was being. Still, occasionally she'd bite her lip or look down when nobody was looking, but John could tell she cared. It was a bit strange for everyone to be together like this, but it was nice even without one person. That snarky bastard would pay for all of this worry over him.
