An: Hey sorry about last chapter! I was typing it at midnight at my friends house, and she had a PC (I use a Mac). So when I copied it from GoogleDocs to Word, it did weird stuff to the setup. I was so tired, I didn't even notice! So that's why that chapter looked so weird.
ANMK2: So yes. I am up-to-date with Homestuck. I did read the newest update. Hussie, you evil genius. He's completely changed my whole story! My previous plot, which I had planned out, he blew out of the water! Now I have to rethink some stuff. Starting at this chapter, i'm suspecting it will get a bit more confusing, and a bit more epic. Jade, with her lime green blood, WILL have some epic powers. (For those of you not up to date: Sorry, man. Start reading.)
One Question: Would you like long chapters every 4-5 days, or short chapters every day to every other day? Cuz I'm writing this stuff over a few days period, and want to know what ya'all want. I'll post a rather small ish one right now to appease you waiting souls...
"Hehehe! Kanaya. Let's stay here for a bit. Wait for everyone else to leave. I have something I want to check." Terezi kept a firm grip on Kanaya's elbow, stopping her from walking any further. Kanaya turned.
"Hmm?"
"Oh, I just smell very interesting things, and I want to investigate! Hehehe!" Terezi smiled at Kanaya, her nose twitching a little. Kanaya nodded her head a little.
"I am just fine with anything. You go ahead and lead the way, Terezi."
"Oh yay!" Terezi giggled a little more, pulling Kanaya back to the clearing, Kanaya quietly stumbling behind. They stopped in the middle of the defoliated area, staining their shoes with varying colors of lusus blood. Kanaya stared at Terezi as she wiggled her nose, sniffing the air. "Hmm... Kanaya. How about you do me a little favor?"
"That depends completely on what the favor entails."
"Oh not much! Just go over there, by that tree, and look behind it. I smell something odd. I think you may like her- I mean.. err... it." Kanaya raised her eyebrows at Terezi for a few moments before realizing she couldn't see her sarcastic glare. She sighed, and began her small trek to the tree Terezi was pointing at.
"This one?"
"Yes! Hehehe!"
"Alright." Kanaya sighed, walking around the tree, her heart beat slightly elevated as she peeked around the edge of the bark. She blinked a few times at the waiting sight, raising one eyebrow again. "Oh my. I wonder how I did not notice this."
"You must be rather un-observative. I've been here since your group showed up. It was rather entertaining to listen to your ongoing conversations. I must admit amongst the 11 of you, there seemed to be not a soul with a matching brain." Rose spoke without ever looking up from the book in her lap, flipping the page half way through her small monologue. Kanaya couldn't stop the small frown.
"I resent that comment."
"Well it's rather hard to estimate your intelligence when you barely open your mouth. You're not a verbose one, are you?" Rose silently folded the corner of her book inward, creasing the old looking paper.
"I beg to differ. I am just unable to get a gab in otherwise with your loquacious attitude." Kanaya spoke calmly, resting a hand on the tree beside her.
"I apologize for my verbosity. Would you prefer I listen as you exercise your own logorrhea?" Rose closed her book, finally meeting eyes with Kanaya. They stared at each other for a few moments, daring the other to speak.
"HEHEHE! I knew you'd like each other! Can you come out here so we can all chat together? I'd like to start investigating the crime scene!" Terezi interrupted their staring contest, causing both to look over at the red glassed troll. Rose stood from her perch (A pumpkin), and turned to Terezi.
"Oh that is unnecessary. I can inform you of the identity of the person who created this-"
"SHHHHH! I want to figure this out!" Terezi interrupted her. "Tell me later!" She pulled out a magnifying glass, and began to sniff around, using the glass as if she could actually see. Rose rolled her eyes, turning to Kanaya.
"Whatever. I am Rose Lalonde." She held out her hand. Kanaya took it.
"Kanaya Maryam. Pleasure to meet you." When their hands touched, Kanaya couldn't help but glance down slightly at where their skin made contact, curiously wondering about the slight tingle that ran through her fingers.

Vriska stared at her computer screen as the cursor blinked repeatedly. She bit her lip, thinking, and then quit out of Pesterchum, pulling up her web browser. She wiggled her mouse over the search bar for a few moments before moving her hands to the keyboard...
"Purrfect! Now I get to hang out with my Moirail! I like this! Mreow!" Nepeta purred happily, hopping around Equius as he and Aradia walked forward nonchalantly. She stopped every once in a while to smell the flowers, causing a faint smile to erupt on Equius's smile every time.
"Hey! Glub glub glub! Wait for us!" Feferi shouted from behind them, Sollux trailing quietly behind. She quickly caught up with them, keeping a safe distance from Aradia as she spoke with Nepeta. "We want to hang with you guys! I think it's kinda scary with just two people. So can we hang out as a group of 5 instead?"
"That sounds Purrfect! Let's do it!"
"Uhh... Is that an order, High blood?" Equius nervously questioned. Feferi just winked at him, causing Aradia to frown a bit.
"Whatever. I don't really care." Aradia looked away, the metal around her neck buzzing a bit.
"Great! Glub glub glub!" Feferi grinned as Sollux finally caught up with them with his leisurly pace. He stopped next to Aradia.
"Thup, Aradia?"
She looked over at him. "Nothing."
"Thath cool. Thath cool..." He trailed off, looking back at Feferi. She smiled at him. Aradia couldn't help but look away in disgust as Sollux's face grew slightly red. She sighed.
"Can we just keep going?"
"That sounds good to me!" Nepeta pitched in. "There are some pretty flowers over there! Let's go crawl in those! I wanna smell them up close!" She traipsed away, giggling, Feferi close behind. Aradia couldn't stop herself from glaring at Feferi's back. Equius noticed.
"Hey. Aradia. Are you okay?"
She looked over at him, her face back to its normal robotic neutral. "Just fine." She looked back at the flowers.
"...Swimming in ironic lingo. i've got more swag than a penguin with his tuxedo homies. it's like the world is suffering from an epic lingo, swaggalicious drought, and i'm a' bringing the sweet delicious lingo rain! they just wish with their lackluster linguistics that they had the audacity to use their verbosity as i do. but they lack the imminent ability, condescending themselves with pants at their knees. I've brought the troll lingo to a new delicious level of ironic parodies, sick raps, and sword slinging bro-tastic-"
"OKAY! I GET IT! YOU'VE GOT A WWAY WWITH WWORDS! NOW PLEASE! SHUT UP!"
"Dude. Chill out. I was just trying to share my linguistic genius with a jerk like yourself. I'm just attempting to spread my epic cool strider attitude to someone who really needs it. You, sir, are like a boring sack of rotten potatoes, smelling up the already shit-infested planet we live on with your dirt caked, inedible sack of potato sludge. Your stupid rotten potato sack is only useful for one thing: scaring away lusus with your terrible wicked ass smell. It's like you're a mega electro-potato-shit-smelling magnet, and Lusus are your oppositely polarized scared-as-fuck buddies. Shit man, I could bottle your smelly ass jerkish ness, and sell it like fucking "OFF!" Keep those scared as shit lusus a million miles from your fuckass hive with Purple blood potato shit. Dude I could make a killing off of that."
"Wwhen wwill you run out of stuff to say?"
"I never run out of stuff to talk about. I'm chill like that." Dave stared down at Eridan, his sword still between Eridan and the sleeping Jade, his glasses reflecting Eridan's rather annoyed expression, his own face neutral. "Anyway, are you going to step away from her, or not?" He swished the sword closer to Eridan, causing him to back up a few inches.
"I'm awway, I'm awway!" He squeaked.
"Good." Dave sat down on the ground next to Jade's head, resting the sword on his lap. "I've told you my name. What's yours?" He turned his head toward the purple blooded hipster. Eridan frowned.
"Eridan Ampora. It's not really a pleasure to meet you."
"I can say the same thing." He didn't smile as he pointed the tip of his sword at Jade. "And who's this?"
"Jade Harley."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Are you going to say anything else about her, or are you just going to leave me here in the dark. I mean, come on man. I'm sitting here like a... Shit. I can't think of anything that is blind... A blind girl... In a... seeing convention... Shit. You know what I mean. Insert an extremely ironic and sick metaphor here talking about blind people in a convention, having a boring ass time because they can't see shit."
"... Okay. Wwhatevver you wwant."
"And tell me more about this Jade girl."
"Wwhatevver. She just joined our group, so I don't knoww much about her. Don't mess with her though, she's got someone protecting her. I'vve already tried to kiss her. That did not go wwell."
"Maybe it's because you're one fuck ass creepy dude?"
"Wwhatevver!"
"It's true man. You're creepier than an Imperial drone coming over to your house when you are in the middle of filling a bucket. I mean, those shit heads just pop their head in going 'Hey! You done yet? Cuz i'm gonna need your excrements.' and you're like 'hold on. I'm almost done.' and they respond with 'kay. I'll just sit here, staring, and wait.' I mean come on man! How creepy can you get?"
"That doesn't evven make any sense. You suck at these metaphor things."
"Shut up. The only time I'm bad at this shit is when something bad is about to happen. Or when an Imperial Drone interrupts my fun." Dave leaned back, sighing at his failure. "Fuck."
"Wwhat if both of those things happened at the same time?"
"Huh?"
"Look." Eridan pointed upward, where a group of ID's were gathering in the sky, floating slowly toward them. Dave glanced upward.
"Oh. That'll do it. Kay dude, you just wait, I'll school you later in ironic metaphors once we eliminate those little fuckers." Dave stood, scooping up Jade's sleeping body, and placing her on his back, holding her there with one arm.
"Oh Gog. I havve to listen to more of that?" Eridan sighed as he stood, facing the oncoming drones.
"Yes. Hell Yes. Hell. Fucking. Yes." Dave readied his other hand with his sword, his glasses glinting the red finish of the drones advancing on them.
"Damn."

Karkat paced back and forth in his room, mentally hitting himself over and over at his own stupidity and lack of acceptable social behavior. He stopped every once in a while to listen to the commotion outside of his room as the other trolls continued their fun. After a while though, the sounds died away, and he sat in his room, listening to nothing. Eventually, he meandered out of his room, returning to the hang out place to see that it was rather empty. He stared at the vacant room, resisting the urge to curse aloud. (He didn't suceed).
"FUCK! WHERE DID THE LITTLE SHIT HEAD TROLLS GO? THOSE BASTARDS! WE HAVE PLACES TO BE!" He stormed out of the room, and down the halls, opening every door he walked by, slamming his head in and looking in every direction. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?" He screamed as he reached the final door. He opened it to see the back of Vriska's head as she leaned over her computer screen. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? Didn't you, by ANY stretch of POSSIBILITY, notice that all our troll compadres are MIA? Or were you too busy flirting with your STUPID ASS GIRLFRIEND?"
"Hmm?" Vriska barely lifted her head, engrossed in the log on her screen.
"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! IS IT THAT ROXY CHICK AGAIN?"
"Yeah. Now what's got your bone bulge all twisted, Karkat?"
"Our compadres are missing, as I told you before if you'd get your head outta your girlfriend's ass." He spat. Vriska turned to him, a small smile on her face.
"Oh if only you knew. She's not my girlfriend, but she IS rather important. But you're a little too ignorant to realize that just yet. So shut your yapper and just let me troll as I wish."
"Whatever. Can't we just find our trolls?"
"I don't really give a shit. They'll come back."
"Yeah, but..."
"What, red-blood? You lonely?" She mocked, sticking her tongue out at him. He frowned deeper, his face growing red.
"FUCK NO!" He stormed out, leaving Vriska to her trolling. She sighed, rolling back to her screen, and continuing her research.
"Lime bloods... Lime bloods... what the fuck? There is absolutely NO information on these things!"
