"Sollux I swear that someone was on Gamzee's trollian last night, just look at that! Trollian has never just glitched like that before" Karkat spoke as he gestured to the husk top screen with his hand, he hadn't closed out of the message board from the night before. Hell it doesn't even seem like it has changed either. Whoever was on the other end hasn't closed the tab or logged out either. It was almost a staring contest awaiting someone to blink or move.
"How do we even know that'th GZ on the other end? For all we know it could be th-ome freak that found hi-th hu-thk top. If that'th the ca-the then we are pretty fucked. The whole operation I-th fucked KK." Sollux spoke in his usual lisp. He had however gotten a little bit more filled out over time. No longer that stick thin nerd. Though he wasn't quite muscular either. He was a head taller than his red blooded companion, his arms crossed over his chest as he eyed the screen. He knew this was a bitter-sweet situation, he didn't want to hurt Karkat but the troll needed to
come to reality. "I know you want him to th-till be alive but…"
"I'm not stupid; I know he's gone. But someone's still logged in as him and is mocking me by just sitting there. That is all I am saying. Something is really fucking wrong here." Karkat hissed out his first sentence, cutting the other's words off. He didn't want the pity from the yellow blood. Though he couldn't quite see where those blue and red orbs were looking he could feel his stare. He could feel the soft pain in his expression. Karkat hated it. "Look. Is there any way you can track where these messages are coming from? Maybe we can pinpoint an IP and try to either find the troll behind this or... get rid of them. I don't know how this shit works alright." As cold as that sounded, Karkat knew damn well they couldn't let just anyone know his deep dark secrets that he tended to send to the late Makra.
"I mean yeah, pretty ea-thly. Just let me th-ee-" Sollux pushed his way to the keyboard. Exiting the chat as he does so. But before he could actually open up the needed programs for this request the message board popped up once more. As if that was the little push the purple blood needed to finally respond.
TC: you still there karbro?
Karkat just starred a moment, as did Sollux. They both were quick to point out the lack of a typing quirk. That only made things a little bit more infuriating for the duo. This was someone going back in the conversation and trying to mimic the way Gamzee would talk to Karkat. But was probably too fucking lazy to match the quirk and just hope no one would notice. That was disrespectful as hell in Karkat's mind. So he replied back before Sollux could tell him it was a horrible idea.
CG: LOOK HERE YOU MALMANNERED SAD SACK. I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE OR HOW YOU GOT INTO THIS ACCOUNT BUT DON'T YOU TRY THAT SHIT ON ME. I'M NOT FUCKING STUPID, I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU AREN'T GAMZEE. SO HOW ABOUT YOU CHOKE ON A BONE BULGE SHIT STAIN.
There was a long pause after that was sent. It went on in silence as Karkat glared daggers at his monitor. As if somehow his stare would make it through the screen and piece the unknown offender right through the heart. But with the silence Karkat had hoped he possibly scared the mystery hacker off. However just as he was confident in his threat there was more of that deep ominous purple that made its way across the screen. This time in all caps, mocking Karkat's own way of typing.
TC: BROTHER, THERE AIN'T ANY OTHER MOTHERFUCKER THAT I KNOW OF THAT HAS EVER CALLED YOU KARBRO.
TC: at least not that i know of.
TC: YOU AIN'T EVEN GOING TO SAY HELLO TO YOUR MOIRAIL?
TC: if we even are still moirails.
CG: GOD WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN READ A CHAT LOG DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING. OH GREAT YOU HAVE WORKING VISUAL SPHERES.
CG: GOOD FOR YOU.
TC: FINE, I CAN MOTHERFUCKING PROVE IT.
TC: you still live in that small town right?
Karkat was pissed, what else can he say here? This was stupid and he didn't even know why he was entertaining it at all. He should have just blocked it and let Sollux do his thing. Clawed fingers ran through his hair before he gripped it and growled. Luckily Sollux was pretty used to the frustrated Vantas, so he gently grabbed the offending hand and guided it away. It was small but at least Karkat wouldn't be stress pulling at his own hair. There were countless red flags popping up with this strange troll wanting to meet Karkat without full confirmation on who or even what class this troll was.
CG: YES, WE CAN MEET THERE.
"KK are you an idiot?" Sollux spoke up right after he replied. "This is obviously some sort of trap."
"Maybe it is, but hell this at least makes tracking the son of a bitch down easier. We can make them come to us and take them out right there." Karkat said with almost a snarl to his tone. He was more concerned with teaching this troll a lesson in messing with someone like that. "We'll meet somewhere closer to the hive so you and Kanaya can help me out if things go south. I promise." Karkat reassured the other before he went on to give this strange troll a date and time that would work. This was nerve wracking but he can't let all this get out. He can't let his blood color alone get out, let alone that he is harboring trolls in his hive. This was a mess.
