Keenly hightailing must not have been the best of your choices because you made it about two feet before tripping and spilling all of the candy out of the bowl into a particularly dank part of the floor, putting all of the candy out. This may have been good because it no longer smelled of shitty kindled candy candles, but now you had no light, were trapped in darkness, potentially in danger of what ever made that sound, and to top it all off, your horns hurt like hell.
====== ABSCOND
As your father taught many sweeps ago, you scuttle along the ground, unable to stand right away, before stumbling to your feet. You're once again cut short of the much needed, "running" necessary to absconding, as you smack right into another wall. To your luck though, you finally find a light switch.
====== SWITCH SWITCH
You reach for the switch and switch the switch, only to to find the switch didn't switch on the lights.
====== SWITCH SWITCH
You desperately grope the wall for something else to find another lever and you quickly flip it. The lights finally flare up, although very anticlimactic, as it's very dim. Along the walls you see the words, "PLUMBING" and the wall is decorated in a series if piping. You look to a leak in the floor to a massive flow valve and see the puddle you dropped your bowl in. Look up to the colossal valve, you notice an abundance of rust that seem to be delaying a movement in the pipes of some sort. You hear the pipes groan under an increase of pressure. What ever the issue may or may not be, it seems that if something were to ever happen to this pipe valve, it wouldn't happen just yet.
Then a thought of concern briefly sets in as you wonder what the first switch might have done.
The thought quickly dissipates as you think to turn around to face your assailant. Well, you wouldn't call it your assailant since it hasn't really attac-
====== ASSES THREAT
Finally turning towards your opponent's direction (Much to the readers relief) you attempt to set an outline on the threat, as well as bracing yourself for impact. Wait, impact?
====== DUCK
Foolishly searching for the duck, you fail brace yourself and are assaulted by the flying Terezi that was speeding towards you earlier, viciously, and much expected, receiving a blow to the side, knocking you into the wall, on the switch, killing the power. So much work, gone instantly. If Terezi didn't kill you than you sure as hell are gonna kill her. Actually, would have killed her anyway.
====== GET UP
You shake your legs, and to no avail. They do not respond.
====== GET UP
A bitchy voice in your head persuades your legs to act on your behalf, at the cost of your sweet, sweet energy. Such easily swayed legs. You almost feel a sense of... disappointment?
Standing up, you see the luminous form of Terezi descend from the air, suspended by her shitty rocket-pack, shitty flame decals and all.
Her nook sucking grin stares you in the mouth, similar to how her eyes sorta settle in your general direction. It's hard to tell through her shades but you know that it could've mattered less due to her being blind. She, once on the ground, walks up to your slumped position against the wall, hips swaying in a sassy tone, as if to speak for her already busy mouth, due to its current state of grinning. The mouth finally finds some spare time and decides to talk to you.
"Did'ja get my present, karkles?"
"UNFORTUNATELY, YES. MORE FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DROPPED IT IN A PUDDLE. ALSO, DON'T CALL ME THAT."
"I'm not surprised that even at that angle, your jaw still seems to spout the same amount of shit as always."
"HA HA, NOW WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU WANT, AND IT BETTER BE WORTH ME POSSIBLY BREAKING MANY OF MY BONES."
"You expect so much of me, Karkat! You know I wouldn't call you down here for something actually productive!" Her tone almost condescending. "I wanted you to come check out this room full of old science equipment and, in case my present hasn't proven obvious, weird ass candy."
You begin to fantasize a reality where the fall downstairs or the rocket-pack actually killed you. What a pleasant thought.
====== FOLLOW TZ
Having finally gotten up, much to the discomfort of your ribs, you and Terezi stroll down the dark hallway. You occasionally trip or hit the wall before turning a corner. Sometimes, you wish you were blind so you could see.
