Who| Karkat + Chibi Usa, Karkat + Signless, Karkat + YOU?
What| Karkat makes his first kill and meets his ancestor, among other things.
Where| Main Street USA, elsewhere?
When| Week Six
Warnings/Notes| murder, blood, kids killing kids
Karkat's been in the arena for an hour, maybe two. It's the crowning glory to an unbelievably shitty night, which began with him and his friends fighting the Black King and ended with a bunch of weird hornless aliens shoving him into a tube and sending him into a death match. The part in the middle where that demon-barkbeast-carapace-thing destroyed the door into their new universe just before Karkat slipped into unconsciousness hadn't helped either.
He's managed to pick up a few things via breaking into some of the little commerce hives that line the thoroughfare leading up to the big yellow horn-shaped cavity. Nothing that great, though. Certainly no weapons. The large spool of grey thread might come in handy once he can find a needle, but until then...
Well. When Karkat manages to score some more supplies, he'll figure more shit out. He's taken his cloak off, figuring that if nothing else he can use it as a makeshift garrotte for now, and waits in the dark spaces between buildings, hoping to get the jump on someone. Preferably someone with supplies.

She doesn't seem to see him. Good.
He waits until she passes by his hiding place, before he slips out to loop his cloak-garrotte around the girl's neck from behind--and pulls it tight.

Suddenly, she couldn't breathe. She tried to gasp, but something was around her neck, choking her. She immediately began to struggle, grabbing at the cloak with her hands in an attempt to alleviate the sudden pressure on her airways.
No. NO!!

He's gotten lucky, he thinks, that the first person he's found isn't any bigger than he is. He's not sure how he's going to take down proper adults like this if there are any in the arena.
I FAIL. I JUST FAIL OK
SSSSSHHH IT'S OKAY
She was pretty young. At least a sweep younger than him, maybe two.
By the end of it, he's richer by a roll of padded and zippered fabric, some chemically-tipped incineration splinters, and food. Not bad.
He closes her eyelids and leaves her body to lie in the street.
