"Okay," Karkat says, leaning against a largish standing display. "So, evidently there was this guy from District Three who won the Games back when the Capitol was still using their lowblood--well, low caste, humans rank caste weird, it doesn't have anything to do with blood--any-fucking-way, before they used to kidnap people like us to fight in the games, they used the low caste humans from the Districts instead. And there was this guy named Sherlock Holmes who got reaped from D3 and won by using bees somehow, I don't know all the details, maybe he threw a hive at the last guys standing and they got stung to death." It made as much sense as anything.

"Anyway, for some reason or another, some time after they started kidnapping people for the Games, the Capitol decided via its insane human logic that what it really needed to do was kidnap this guy also named Sherlock Holmes from the planet British and his cousin Watson and make them play in the games, only the new Holmes didn't look very much like the first Holmes and he was a way bigger dick who decided he wanted to be Watson's human boyfriend and tried to steal him from his actual human girlfriend, Effie. And then another Watson showed up only this time she was a girl and she didn't look much like the Watson from the planet British. And I guess eventually they kidnapped you for fuck knows what reason, only you actually look more like the original Sherlock Holmes."
