MSPA Fanfiction IV

[Dermonster]

Graven that is a good concept.

A very good concept.

Is there going to be a mcUrist in the pesterlogs?

Even if not it's still a good thing you got there.

[Graven_Image]

You know what, thank you. I was wondering how I was going to make this an even number of players. A Dorf will do just fine.

Chapter One

hide spoiler

Meat Boy was not an overly smart cuboid of meat. But he knew a Very Bad Situation when he saw one.

Dr. Fetus had his girlfriend (again) as well as the cruxite doll of himself that the Alchemiter spat out. There were hundreds of sawblades in between him and the not-very-good Doctor (again), with some rocket launchers thrown in for good measure. Again.

And there was a meteor hovering vaguely menacingly over the entire area.

It never stopped him before.

Okay, so jump HERE, break the wall THERE before that rocket hits- No, use the rocket to break the wall and jump through, bounce from in between THOSE blades to just above THAT one- be sure to be going OVER that sawblade-shooter thingy when it fires...

Yeah. I got this.

He took two steps, missed a jump, and immediately fell onto a sawblade.

BLORK

The individual chunks that were all that was left soon rolled back to where he had stood, reforming Meat Boy into his previous un-sawbladed shape.

In a world of crazy super powers and crazier threats to reality, Meat Boy was glad to have the one he did.

That, plus incredible jumping prowess. That helped.

A small, bright red light floated down to him. He tried to shoo it away, but, as with all things he tried to politely get rid of, this one only floated closer, trying to communicate in some weird gibberish. He ignored it, focusing on the jump he had to make.

The red light floated over to the sawblade that was his main obstacle. After a few moments, perhaps of deliberation, it floated straight into the blade.

Both of them disappeared in a blinding red flash.

Well, this changed the whole game plan.

Okay, so go OVER that wall before the rocket fires, do the wall jumpy thing, then go over the shooter- which won't even be shooting, I don't think...

A glowing red sawblade bounced down from over the wall, grinding loudly against nothing in particular.

He ducked as it swooped over him, seemingly bending its trajectory in midair to come down in front of him.

SAWSPRITE: XXXXOOOOGGGZZZZXX
MEAT BOY: umm
MEAT BOY: hi?
SAWSPRITE: XXXXZZZZZGXXXXX
MEAT BOY: right.
MEAT BOY: bye

The thing continued following him and making disconcertingly annoying noises. He ignored it for the most part, so long as it didn't get in front of him while he did the wall-jumpy thing.

He bounded over the sawblade-shooter as it fired, sending a serrated metal disk shattering harmlessly against the wall. He bounced up the vertical hallway, to where his girlfriend, Bandage Girl, was no doubt being held against her will.

Instead, he found her wandering aimlessly around the room, while Dr. Fetus was busy inspecting the bright red crystal statue of him that the machines back at home had spewed out.

Meat Boy held out his hand in the typical hand-it-over fashion. Dr. Fetus just gave him the finger and chucked the doll over him, where it bounced against the wall and fell down the shaft into the saw-shooter, disintegrating like Meat Boy had so many times before it.

But instead of reforming, the pieces began to glow.

The world around them slowed to a crawl, as the roar of the meteor overhead faded away.

By the time things started to make sense again, Dr. Fetus had fled, taking Bandage Girl with him.

AGAIN.

pfffffff

I can't wait to see where this goes.

...Is Tim from Braid going to be in the session?

Oh man
I have some serious catching up to do on fanfics.

Well, to make up for the sheer lack of MSB!fics coming out
I wrote a little something something to fill the void

Wake up

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Jade arose from her bed and smiled widely, she looked over to see Karkat sleeping on the floor. She didn’t wake him up, it would be far too rude. She hopped out of bed and landed quietly on her toes. She changed her clothes, blushing slightly, she wondered what Karkat would say if he were to wake up at the moment. She was quiet as a mouse though and easily snuck out of the room without even bothering him in the slightest.

As she descended her rather enormous staircase she looked left and right, staring at the abominations of her grandfathers disturbing hobbies. The sun bleached paintings and morbid trophies are more than upsetting to the stomach so early in the day. Jade tried not to notice, but it was simply something that could not be done when it surrounded you, infecting the very air you breathe.

She entered the main room; a smile crept onto her face as she saw Rose and John cuddling together on her couch. She didn’t mind if the two of them slept together, but she didn’t want them getting too lovey dovey. She tip-toed past them and entered her kitchen, by which is to say she pulled out her cookalizer and refrigerator and spun the rotary dial to access some steak and vegetables. A well balanced meal is important at the beginning of the day. Turning the dial to cook she sat patiently for only a matter of seconds before a dinging noise began to alleviate from the cookalizer. She gathered silverware and plates from the pantry and set it down on the floor, she was still in need of a table. She told herself to go shopping for one later, as soon as she got her boat working again.

She nabbed the gong from her Sylladex and drummed on it lightly with her spoon, she sang out softly, “Dinner is ready everyone!” And giggled as John and Rose woke up, wiping the sleepy from their eyes, and blushing slightly. They shouldn’t have slept in such a position, it was truly an awkward way to wake up.

Karkat, all the way up in Jade’s room did not miss a beat. The gong echoed through her home and rang in his ears till he awoke, swearing furiously at the loud and bothersome noise, “WHO THE FUCK DECIDED THAT WAS A GOOD WAY TO WAKE SOMEONE UP I WILL NEVER FUCKING KNOW.” He got up and stepped downstairs, he was already in a fairly bad mood because of his bad dream.

Rose and John sat down to have their breakfast; they thanked Jade promptly for the hospitality and for the meal. Jade had invited them over for a sleepover after Karkat appeared on her doorstep with nary an explanation nor a home.

Her lunchtop hummed a soothing tone, she had recently modified the sound files to not be so in your face and annoying, since Karkat was easily put into a bad mood. She sits down and answers her chum, it was Dave. He was asking her about women, she was hoping it might be a simple ironic inquiry, but instead it turned out to be a serious question. Jade was befuddled, she was not very good with women. Nor had it ever really crossed her mind to try and keep track of the strange flirting behaviors of the varying types of women. In fact, Jade could safely say she was perhaps the least romantically aware person she knew.

Dave ceased pestering and went back to his own business; he mentioned he had a plan of sorts. She did not question it, she turned to face John and Rose. John had finished his steak and barely touched his vegetables, the vice versa could be said of Rose and her meal.

Jade laughed quietly to herself, she found it humorous in a multitude of ways. The two of them glared at Jade and she silenced herself. It was none of her business what their dieting plans were, or their preferences on food. After all, everyone has their own taste buds.

Karkat entered the room finally, his stomach growled as loud as did the Imps Jade and her friends had fought during the Sburb session. Karkat stared at Jade, a smile crept onto his face. He hid his good mood with more obnoxious swearing, “WHAT THE FUCK? STEAK? WHO THE HELL LET MINE GET COLD?!”

Jade giggled and shouted back to him, “I didn’t let yours get cold, its right here!”

Karkat settled down and strolled over to Jade, he walked past Rose and John. Scoffing at the two of them and their lovey dovey antics. The last thing he desired to see in the morning was the red romance of two humans he loathed, especially John.

“WELL, WHERE IS MY BREAKFAST?”

“I thought we could share.” She stepped up to Karkat and held a single plate between the two of them. He flushed a bright red and looked away hastily.

“UHHHH….OKAY. DON’T GO MAKING THIS AWKWARD, I MEAN, THOSE TWO ARE RIGHT FUCKING THERE.” He would’ve preferred privacy, but Jade was so open about her feelings, even in front of others. He knew he couldn’t deny her what she enjoyed doing, so he put up with it for her sake.

She began to eat breakfast with Karkat and had blushed red, as Karkat did the same. As they shared their food Rose and John walked away, it was a bit of a messy display as Jade leaned in for a kiss with Karkat.

“UHH JADE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“I’m going to give my sweet, sweet knight a kiss!”

“BUT THOSE GRUBSHITS ARE WATCHING.”

She pulled him close and planted her lips tightly onto his, “Let them watch.”

She wrapped her tongue around Karkat’s. The feeling of his warm lips coming into contact with her own made her face flush a bright red. Karkat’s face flushed just as red. He turns to look at John and Rose, they giggle at his embarrassment.

“YOU LITTLE HOOFBEASTSHIT, LAUGH AT ME LIKE THAT TO MY FACE.” He breaks the kiss during and had Jade slump onto the floor. She sits up and watches as Karkat yells at John angrily.

Rose scoots over to Jade and whispered in her ear, “You ought to stop this.”

“I know, but you know how Karkat feels about John,” Jade whispered back, “He loves him in a kismesis way.”

“That’s not what I meant Jade.”

“Huh?”

Jade shifted her focus back to Karkat and John, whom had stopped arguing. Karkat scoffed at John again and sat down with his arms crossed. Jade sighed and tried to think of a way to chill them all out. After the events of the sleepover the night before, Jade had bruised her fingers. They did a lot of knitting because of Rose. John made them watch Con Air, Karkat said he would never forgive John for making him watch such a horrendous movie.

Jade tried to resolve the conflict in a way that could relieve Karkat of his pent up anger and get John and Rose to exercise them. She spoke up and suggested they play a hearty game of Laser tag. They all agreed to it, as it sounded quite fun.

Donning the proper gear and setting teams of Boys versus Girls. Rose and Jade hid behind the couch as John and Karkat rushed in. John childishly shouted, “Pew pew pew!” As he fired his laser gun at no actual targets.

Karkat bumps him in the gut with his shoulder, “SHUT UP, YOU’LL GIVE US AWAY!”

Rose popped up over the couch and blasted Karkat with the laser gun, “Pew pew!” She jokingly voiced out.

Karkat grumbled and tossed the laser gun onto the floor. He kicked it and walked to the wall and sat down. He was out, he shouted aloud, “DON’T LOSE THIS FOR ME EGBERT!”

John nodded as he looked at Karkat, but taking his eye off the game had left him open and vulnerable. The perfect target for a skilled marksman like Jade. She silently snuck in as close as she could and pinned him to the ground held the laser gun to him, she giggled.

“I got you john!”

“Jade…stop it!”

“huh?”

“Stop it!”

“Sorry….I didn’t mean to be too rough,” She got off of John and fired at his chest, “Pew pew…” she was feeling a little bad about it, even though she felt like she hadn’t done anything wrong.

The whole day was beginning to seem like she had been ruining a perfectly good day after a joyous sleep over. She felt like she was ruining everyone else’s good time. She sighed and sat down on the couch. She sat still and watched Rose, John, and Karkat converse and argue over trivial things. She wondered when exactly Rose and John would be going home.

Then Karkat stepped up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She felt a bit of her bad mood drift away, he pulled her in close for a hug and wrapped his arms around her, not letting her go.

“Karkat…Today has been…I’ve been a real goof today.”

“THAT’S NOT A PROBLEM JADE. YOU ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“JADE, I LIKE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE. DON’T GO BEING DOPEY AND SAD BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU UPSET ONE OF THOSE TWO GRUBSHITS.” he sighed and gritted his teeth, “THEY SHOULDN’T MATTER TO YOU ANYWAY.”

“Ah! That’s very rude Karkat, take it back!”

“WHY THE HELL SHOULD I?”

“Because it was mean and uncalled for!”

“LIKE HELL IT WAS JADE, FUCKING LOOK AT THEM AND STOP THIS.”

Jade shakes her head and closes her eyes tightly, she doesn’t want to see it. She covers her ears with her hands. “Shut up Karkat, just shut up!”

“I WON’T SHUT UP UNTIL YOU SHUT UP.”

“Shut up Karkat! Stop being so mean!”

Karkat grabbed her by her collar, “SHUT UP AND STOP BEING THE NOOKSNIFFING IDIOT YOU ALWAYS ARE JADE AND REALIZE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!”

“No!” She pushed Karkat off of herself and ran up the stairs, she bumped into Rose and John. She only glanced at them for a moment before the two of them fell to the ground. Cold and lifeless, their sutures were coming undone. “..Oh noooo.” She would have to come back and fix them later, after she had calmed herself down. Jade had held back tears, she was tempted to cry. Karkat was scaring her and she couldn’t understand what he was talking about. She knew that, Karkat knew that, even Rose and John noticed her behavior was over the top.

Karkat knocked on her door later that night and asked as calmly as he could, “ARE YOU OKAY? I MEAN, I DIDN’T WANT TO UPSET YOU. YOU’RE JUST WORRYING ME.”

She wiped away her tears and tried to keep her voice from cracking, “What is worrying you so m-much?”

Karkat’s voice cracked as well, she was never any good at impersonations, “B-BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING TO YOURSELF. I AM NOT REAL, NONE OF THIS.” She had begun to cry to herself, the tears warmed her cheeks with the sweet embrace of depression, “YOU ARE FUCKING T-TALKING T-TO A DOLL YOU MA-MADE OF ME JADE. YOU NEED H-HELP.”

Jade shook her head. She held herself tightly, she was crying and ruining her dress. She felt just like Jadesprite, weeping and never stopping. Just letting herself cry it all out. She had held back her misery of being stuck alone on this island, with the taxidermies of her friend’s corpses and a broken heart over the loss of Karkat. It had been so long since she heard from him. So very long, she had given up hope of ever seeing him again.

She looked at her fingers, the bruises were still there from sewing together a poorly handcrafted life size Karkat from various scraps she found around her home. She had used some of her old clothing as the fabric for it, pillows for the stuffing. It was so shoddily made it was a wonder it even held together. She forced out another impersonation.

“J-JUST LET ME IN JADE. I WANT TO HELP YOU!”

“If you w-want to help just…come back…one little message..is all I…” Her tears stopped as her lunchtop began to hum a familiar tone. Someone was pestering her, she checked who. Her face, her eyes, it all glistened with glee. A look of disbelief and joy sprouted upon her as a message from the real Karkat had been sent.

Meat Boy was not an overly smart cuboid of meat. But he knew a Very Bad Situation when he saw one.

Dr. Fetus had his girlfriend (again) as well as the cruxite doll of himself that the Alchemiter spat out. There were hundreds of sawblades in between him and the not-very-good Doctor (again), with some rocket launchers thrown in for good measure. Again.

And there was a meteor hovering vaguely menacingly over the entire area.

It never stopped him before.

Okay, so jump HERE, break the wall THERE before that rocket hits- No, use the rocket to break the wall and jump through, bounce from in between THOSE blades to just above THAT one- be sure to be going OVER that sawblade-shooter thingy when it fires...

Yeah. I got this.

He took two steps, missed a jump, and immediately fell onto a sawblade.

BLORK

The individual chunks that were all that was left soon rolled back to where he had stood, reforming Meat Boy into his previous un-sawbladed shape.

In a world of crazy super powers and crazier threats to reality, Meat Boy was glad to have the one he did.

That, plus incredible jumping prowess. That helped.

A small, bright red light floated down to him. He tried to shoo it away, but, as with all things he tried to politely get rid of, this one only floated closer, trying to communicate in some weird gibberish. He ignored it, focusing on the jump he had to make.

The red light floated over to the sawblade that was his main obstacle. After a few moments, perhaps of deliberation, it floated straight into the blade.

Both of them disappeared in a blinding red flash.

Well, this changed the whole game plan.

Okay, so go OVER that wall before the rocket fires, do the wall jumpy thing, then go over the shooter- which won't even be shooting, I don't think...

A glowing red sawblade bounced down from over the wall, grinding loudly against nothing in particular.

He ducked as it swooped over him, seemingly bending its trajectory in midair to come down in front of him.

MEAT BOY: hi?
SAWSPRITE: XXXXZZZZZGXXXXX
MEAT BOY: right.
MEAT BOY: bye

The thing continued following him and making disconcertingly annoying noises. He ignored it for the most part, so long as it didn't get in front of him while he did the wall-jumpy thing.

He bounded over the sawblade-shooter as it fired, sending a serrated metal disk shattering harmlessly against the wall. He bounced up the vertical hallway, to where his girlfriend, Bandage Girl, was no doubt being held against her will.

Instead, he found her wandering aimlessly around the room, while Dr. Fetus was busy inspecting the bright red crystal statue of him that the machines back at home had spewed out.

Meat Boy held out his hand in the typical hand-it-over fashion. Dr. Fetus just gave him the finger and chucked the doll over him, where it bounced against the wall and fell down the shaft into the saw-shooter, disintegrating like Meat Boy had so many times before it.

But instead of reforming, the pieces began to glow.

The world around them slowed to a crawl, as the roar of the meteor overhead faded away.

By the time things started to make sense again, Dr. Fetus had fled, taking Bandage Girl with him.

AGAIN.

He's going to prototype the Princess isn't he

Or the Ring

Or maybe he has ringKind

Naw, he has Ringkind; he could self-prototype using one of his ghost duplicates.

Or a Goomba.






Or a bunny (and then everyone screamed in horror)

Wake up

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Jade arose from her bed and smiled widely, she looked over to see Karkat sleeping on the floor. She didn’t wake him up, it would be far too rude. She hopped out of bed and landed quietly on her toes. She changed her clothes, blushing slightly, she wondered what Karkat would say if he were to wake up at the moment. She was quiet as a mouse though and easily snuck out of the room without even bothering him in the slightest.

As she descended her rather enormous staircase she looked left and right, staring at the abominations of her grandfathers disturbing hobbies. The sun bleached paintings and morbid trophies are more than upsetting to the stomach so early in the day. Jade tried not to notice, but it was simply something that could not be done when it surrounded you, infecting the very air you breathe.

She entered the main room; a smile crept onto her face as she saw Rose and John cuddling together on her couch. She didn’t mind if the two of them slept together, but she didn’t want them getting too lovey dovey. She tip-toed past them and entered her kitchen, by which is to say she pulled out her cookalizer and refrigerator and spun the rotary dial to access some steak and vegetables. A well balanced meal is important at the beginning of the day. Turning the dial to cook she sat patiently for only a matter of seconds before a dinging noise began to alleviate from the cookalizer. She gathered silverware and plates from the pantry and set it down on the floor, she was still in need of a table. She told herself to go shopping for one later, as soon as she got her boat working again.

She nabbed the gong from her Sylladex and drummed on it lightly with her spoon, she sang out softly, “Dinner is ready everyone!” And giggled as John and Rose woke up, wiping the sleepy from their eyes, and blushing slightly. They shouldn’t have slept in such a position, it was truly an awkward way to wake up.

Karkat, all the way up in Jade’s room did not miss a beat. The gong echoed through her home and rang in his ears till he awoke, swearing furiously at the loud and bothersome noise, “WHO THE FUCK DECIDED THAT WAS A GOOD WAY TO WAKE SOMEONE UP I WILL NEVER FUCKING KNOW.” He got up and stepped downstairs, he was already in a fairly bad mood because of his bad dream.

Rose and John sat down to have their breakfast; they thanked Jade promptly for the hospitality and for the meal. Jade had invited them over for a sleepover after Karkat appeared on her doorstep with nary an explanation nor a home.

Her lunchtop hummed a soothing tone, she had recently modified the sound files to not be so in your face and annoying, since Karkat was easily put into a bad mood. She sits down and answers her chum, it was Dave. He was asking her about women, she was hoping it might be a simple ironic inquiry, but instead it turned out to be a serious question. Jade was befuddled, she was not very good with women. Nor had it ever really crossed her mind to try and keep track of the strange flirting behaviors of the varying types of women. In fact, Jade could safely say she was perhaps the least romantically aware person she knew.

Dave ceased pestering and went back to his own business; he mentioned he had a plan of sorts. She did not question it, she turned to face John and Rose. John had finished his steak and barely touched his vegetables, the vice versa could be said of Rose and her meal.

Jade laughed quietly to herself, she found it humorous in a multitude of ways. The two of them glared at Jade and she silenced herself. It was none of her business what their dieting plans were, or their preferences on food. After all, everyone has their own taste buds.

Karkat entered the room finally, his stomach growled as loud as did the Imps Jade and her friends had fought during the Sburb session. Karkat stared at Jade, a smile crept onto his face. He hid his good mood with more obnoxious swearing, “WHAT THE FUCK? STEAK? WHO THE HELL LET MINE GET COLD?!”

Jade giggled and shouted back to him, “I didn’t let yours get cold, its right here!”

Karkat settled down and strolled over to Jade, he walked past Rose and John. Scoffing at the two of them and their lovey dovey antics. The last thing he desired to see in the morning was the red romance of two humans he loathed, especially John.

“WELL, WHERE IS MY BREAKFAST?”

“I thought we could share.” She stepped up to Karkat and held a single plate between the two of them. He flushed a bright red and looked away hastily.

“UHHHH….OKAY. DON’T GO MAKING THIS AWKWARD, I MEAN, THOSE TWO ARE RIGHT FUCKING THERE.” He would’ve preferred privacy, but Jade was so open about her feelings, even in front of others. He knew he couldn’t deny her what she enjoyed doing, so he put up with it for her sake.

She began to eat breakfast with Karkat and had blushed red, as Karkat did the same. As they shared their food Rose and John walked away, it was a bit of a messy display as Jade leaned in for a kiss with Karkat.

“UHH JADE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“I’m going to give my sweet, sweet knight a kiss!”

“BUT THOSE GRUBSHITS ARE WATCHING.”

She pulled him close and planted her lips tightly onto his, “Let them watch.”

She wrapped her tongue around Karkat’s. The feeling of his warm lips coming into contact with her own made her face flush a bright red. Karkat’s face flushed just as red. He turns to look at John and Rose, they giggle at his embarrassment.

“YOU LITTLE HOOFBEASTSHIT, LAUGH AT ME LIKE THAT TO MY FACE.” He breaks the kiss during and had Jade slump onto the floor. She sits up and watches as Karkat yells at John angrily.

Rose scoots over to Jade and whispered in her ear, “You ought to stop this.”

“I know, but you know how Karkat feels about John,” Jade whispered back, “He loves him in a kismesis way.”

“That’s not what I meant Jade.”

“Huh?”

Jade shifted her focus back to Karkat and John, whom had stopped arguing. Karkat scoffed at John again and sat down with his arms crossed. Jade sighed and tried to think of a way to chill them all out. After the events of the sleepover the night before, Jade had bruised her fingers. They did a lot of knitting because of Rose. John made them watch Con Air, Karkat said he would never forgive John for making him watch such a horrendous movie.

Jade tried to resolve the conflict in a way that could relieve Karkat of his pent up anger and get John and Rose to exercise them. She spoke up and suggested they play a hearty game of Laser tag. They all agreed to it, as it sounded quite fun.

Donning the proper gear and setting teams of Boys versus Girls. Rose and Jade hid behind the couch as John and Karkat rushed in. John childishly shouted, “Pew pew pew!” As he fired his laser gun at no actual targets.

Karkat bumps him in the gut with his shoulder, “SHUT UP, YOU’LL GIVE US AWAY!”

Rose popped up over the couch and blasted Karkat with the laser gun, “Pew pew!” She jokingly voiced out.

Karkat grumbled and tossed the laser gun onto the floor. He kicked it and walked to the wall and sat down. He was out, he shouted aloud, “DON’T LOSE THIS FOR ME EGBERT!”

John nodded as he looked at Karkat, but taking his eye off the game had left him open and vulnerable. The perfect target for a skilled marksman like Jade. She silently snuck in as close as she could and pinned him to the ground held the laser gun to him, she giggled.

“I got you john!”

“Jade…stop it!”

“huh?”

“Stop it!”

“Sorry….I didn’t mean to be too rough,” She got off of John and fired at his chest, “Pew pew…” she was feeling a little bad about it, even though she felt like she hadn’t done anything wrong.

The whole day was beginning to seem like she had been ruining a perfectly good day after a joyous sleep over. She felt like she was ruining everyone else’s good time. She sighed and sat down on the couch. She sat still and watched Rose, John, and Karkat converse and argue over trivial things. She wondered when exactly Rose and John would be going home.

Then Karkat stepped up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She felt a bit of her bad mood drift away, he pulled her in close for a hug and wrapped his arms around her, not letting her go.

“Karkat…Today has been…I’ve been a real goof today.”

“THAT’S NOT A PROBLEM JADE. YOU ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“JADE, I LIKE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE. DON’T GO BEING DOPEY AND SAD BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU UPSET ONE OF THOSE TWO GRUBSHITS.” he sighed and gritted his teeth, “THEY SHOULDN’T MATTER TO YOU ANYWAY.”

“Ah! That’s very rude Karkat, take it back!”

“WHY THE HELL SHOULD I?”

“Because it was mean and uncalled for!”

“LIKE HELL IT WAS JADE, FUCKING LOOK AT THEM AND STOP THIS.”

Jade shakes her head and closes her eyes tightly, she doesn’t want to see it. She covers her ears with her hands. “Shut up Karkat, just shut up!”

“I WON’T SHUT UP UNTIL YOU SHUT UP.”

“Shut up Karkat! Stop being so mean!”

Karkat grabbed her by her collar, “SHUT UP AND STOP BEING THE NOOKSNIFFING IDIOT YOU ALWAYS ARE JADE AND REALIZE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!”

“No!” She pushed Karkat off of herself and ran up the stairs, she bumped into Rose and John. She only glanced at them for a moment before the two of them fell to the ground. Cold and lifeless, their sutures were coming undone. “..Oh noooo.” She would have to come back and fix them later, after she had calmed herself down. Jade had held back tears, she was tempted to cry. Karkat was scaring her and she couldn’t understand what he was talking about. She knew that, Karkat knew that, even Rose and John noticed her behavior was over the top.

Karkat knocked on her door later that night and asked as calmly as he could, “ARE YOU OKAY? I MEAN, I DIDN’T WANT TO UPSET YOU. YOU’RE JUST WORRYING ME.”

She wiped away her tears and tried to keep her voice from cracking, “What is worrying you so m-much?”

Karkat’s voice cracked as well, she was never any good at impersonations, “B-BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING TO YOURSELF. I AM NOT REAL, NONE OF THIS.” She had begun to cry to herself, the tears warmed her cheeks with the sweet embrace of depression, “YOU ARE FUCKING T-TALKING T-TO A DOLL YOU MA-MADE OF ME JADE. YOU NEED H-HELP.”

Jade shook her head. She held herself tightly, she was crying and ruining her dress. She felt just like Jadesprite, weeping and never stopping. Just letting herself cry it all out. She had held back her misery of being stuck alone on this island, with the taxidermies of her friend’s corpses and a broken heart over the loss of Karkat. It had been so long since she heard from him. So very long, she had given up hope of ever seeing him again.

She looked at her fingers, the bruises were still there from sewing together a poorly handcrafted life size Karkat from various scraps she found around her home. She had used some of her old clothing as the fabric for it, pillows for the stuffing. It was so shoddily made it was a wonder it even held together. She forced out another impersonation.

“J-JUST LET ME IN JADE. I WANT TO HELP YOU!”

“If you w-want to help just…come back…one little message..is all I…” Her tears stopped as her lunchtop began to hum a familiar tone. Someone was pestering her, she checked who. Her face, her eyes, it all glistened with glee. A look of disbelief and joy sprouted upon her as a message from the real Karkat had been sent.

I do have to ask, the pesterlog at the end is from the real Karkat...isn't it? It's not Jade's loneliness tormenting her? Oh god, please tell me Karkat is really out there and is concerned about Jade....*sob*

viridianVoyager ceased pestering redMeat

Alright, think. Think. What is in here that will let it talk?

The room Dr. Fetus had left him in was distressingly bare. he paced, trying to find something that fit the requirements of a good sprite. The Sawsprite made its incredibly distracting noise behind him.

On what must have been his seventh tromp around the room, he heard a splat where he stepped.

It was one of Bandage Girl's bandages. Not surprising, since she left the things all over the place.

Suddenly an idea sprung in his vague approximation of a head.

No. That couldn't possibly work...

Could it?

Well, only one way to find out.

FWOOOSH.

SAWGIRLSPRITE: Well, my Bandage Girl half really wants to let you in on everything right off the bat...
SAWGIRLSPRITE: But my sawblade half really wants to just drop you in and let you learn by doing.
SAWGIRLSPRITE: And I'm inclined to agree.

SAWGIRLSPRITE: Right now, you have visitors!
SAWGIRLSPRITE: Bye!
MEAT BOY: wut
MEAT BOY: no wait come back

So, I give it speech, and it flies out on me. What a gyp.

Whirring noises sounded behind him. He thought it was just the corridor of saws, but for some weird reason, they seemed to be getting closer and closer...

VVVRRZZZZ

Years of Meat Ninja training kicked in as Meat Boy dodged, ducked, and weaved through a storm of flying sawblades. He was apparently under attack from a group of dripping, short, brown sawblade monsters.

"Well, alright, then. Saw monsters. I can dig it."

He assumed the traditional Meat Ninja "come get your posterior stomped" stance.

"Bring it on."

I remember what has been
As if it was tomorrow
And I remember what will come
Without a touch of sorrow

I remember how things change
But always stay quite the same
And I remember what I’ll do
Every moment of this game

I remember how I’ll feel
I really want to stay here
And I remember my goodbye
To the one that I hold dear

I remember what has been
As if it was tomorrow
And I remember what will come
With regret, and with sorrow

Will Madotsuki be in on this?

I didn't know who that was until just now, but reading the Wikipedia article, she might be kind of out of place.

Yume Nikki is (to my incredibly limited knowledge) about exploring dreams, and since the players don't really dream so much as go to Prospit/Derse, it would be kind of useless to be able to do that.

Thanks for turning me onto the game, though. I'll have to check it out.

[crash826]

Yep. Go to section 9B, there's a vacancy there.
