now we're torn, torn, torn apart
Who| Karkat and Cuthbert (Closed)
What| Finding Signless and Nepeta's bodies
Where| Dessert Arena
When| Late in the day on the first day of the Arena
Warnings/Notes| Language, reference to dead stuff
Somehow they'd ended up running it the exact opposite direction that Signless had. At least, that was what Karkat had figured, because it was taking way too long to get back to him and Nepeta. They'd passed any number of corpses on their way, many of which seemed to have died with hardly a mark on them. The Initiate was one of those, although not the Helmsman. Karkat wasn't sure how the Helmsman had died but there was mustard yellow blood everywhere. It had drawn the dokibeasts, who were feeding on the ancient psionic.
Karkat had insisted they find Terezi and Redglare again. He'd kissed them both once they had, though he knew it was probably too late to do any good and who even knew if Sgrub rules worked here in Panem? He wondered what Cuthbert must think of him.
And now, now they'd found Signless, finally, and Nepeta. Or rather, their corpses.
They'd failed. Utterly and completely.
