[Karkat has never thought he had a flattering face, but it's particularly ugly when he's worried, because he looks about two times his age. And he's worried alright, because a certain housemate has been missing for far too long for comfort.] Has anyone seen John? John Egbert. He's human, and he wears stupid glasses and has stupid messed up human dentition. Actually, wait, hold on, I drew a picture. A lot of you probably know him; he's the obnoxiously friendly type. Anyway, he hasn't come back to the hive in a while, and it's not like him to just disappear like that. Well, okay, it is, but not for this long. He would have finished setting up a prank by now. If anyone's seen him, let me know, because I'm going to run around the whole fucking city looking for him, and that's going to be a pain in the nook. If anyone wants to help look, that would be cool, just look for a guy running around that looks like my drawing.

Also, does anyone know how to take care of a hopbeast? ...Humans call them bunnies. It's John's, and I have no idea how the fuck to take care of it. I've just been feeding it carrots, and making sure it's still breathing. John's going to murder me if I kill this thing while he's gone.

[He sends a rapid fire text Dave's way. He wants to make certain Dave doesn't get into trouble.]
DAVE.
PLEASE TRY NOT TO GET IN TROUBLE WHILE I'M GONE.
AND NO, YOU AREN'T COMING, NO MATTER HOW FUCKING CONCERNED YOU ARE.
JOHN'S PROBABLY JUST FUCKING AROUND SOMEWHERE, AND HE'D BE PISSED AT ME FOR LETTING YOU TIRE YOURSELF OUT LOOKING FOR HIM.
AND ANYWAY, SOMEONE HAS TO WATCH THAT DAMN HOPBEAST.
SUNNY THE BUNNY, WHATEVER.

[It takes him a bit longer to send the second text, only because he feels weird about asking for help, because it's something he sucks at doing, and it doesn't happen often, but he's worried enough that he goes ahead with it. So, Signless' crew (Di, Psii, Rosa, and Signless), Kanaya, Aranea, Meenah and Sollux will get this text.]
IF YOU WANT TO HELP LOOK, YOU CAN.
I FIGURED I COULD PROBABLY USE A HAND, IF YOU'RE WILLING, SINCE I'VE GOT A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER AND JOHN'S A SLIPPERY BASTARD.
EVEN IF YOU'RE BUSY AND YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT, I FIGURED I BETTER UPDATE EVERYONE ON THE SITUATION ANYWAY.

[ this whole thing.

she can't even-

John missing, the picture, Karkat hopefully killing the hopbeast.

It's beautiful. ]

A+

You know I will help you look, Karkat.

FUCK YOU.

_{[God dammit, he knew he forgot something when he made this post. Oh well, looks like he has to deal with her bullshit. Gulp.]}

TELL ME YOU HAVEN'T DONE SOMETHING TO HIM.

Thanks Signless. He's probably just gotten lost somewhere or something. _{[Or at least, that's what he keeps telling himself.]}

dun fink imma tell ya shit mutant freak

His things are still around, right?

OBVIOUSLY YOU AREN'T FEELING VERY HELPFUL TODAY.
FINE.
BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO CONTRIBUTE, CAN YOU FUCK OFF?
I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR THING TO BE THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL, OR REALLY DO ANYTHING BESIDES INSULTING PEOPLE.
BUT, I'M REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOUR BULLSHIT RIGHT NOW.

Yeah, they're still here. I checked.

Perhaps you could ask someone that has the soul perception ability if he is within the city.

....I didn't think of that. That would probably save a lot of time. I guess I could ask Neji, but I'd feel sort of bad. I mean, it's not an emergency or anything. It's not like those people disappearing on missions.

Still... Better safe than sorry, right?

[ that's the reason right there why none of you will ever get any information from her ]

nah i like to sea you flippin yo shit cuz you dumb human bff is an idiot n prolly got himshellf krilled

[ Karkat should already know she wouldn't just not help. ]

I Am On My Way Out
If No One Else Has Began The Search There I Shall Check The Shopping District In Its Entirety
Followed By Anywhere Else In Need Of Searching
Worry Not
The Hopbeast Will Be Fine
As Will John

HE'S NOT DEAD.
HE'S HERE IN THE CITY SOMEWHERE, AND HE CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.
STOP TRYING TO FREAK ME OUT.
HE MAY BE SORT OF AN IDIOT SOMETIMES, BUT HE KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE HIMSELF IN A FIGHT.

Yeah. But if his stuff's here, and he's not in the city, what does that mean? I've never heard of that happening before.

maybe he died cuz he fell off sum stairs
and got broken neck
dat would be cool

HE'D TRANSFORM IF HE FELL DOWN STAIRS.
I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO KNOW THIS, BECAUSE YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF, BUT JOHN'S A WEAPON.
SO, LIKE I SAID, HE'S NOT DEAD.

THANKS KANAYA.
THIS REALLY MEANS A LOT.
I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW JOHN THAT WELL.
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOPBEASTS, DO YOU?
I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO EAT CARROTS, LIKE THEY DO IN MOVIES, BUT THERE'S SOME STUFF BY HER CAGE THAT I GUESS SHE'S SUPPOSED TO EAT?

Just because he is in the city doesn't mean it is exactly safe...

How much trouble could he get into? Besides, he's a weapon, and he can probably resonate with anyone pretty much, so if he gets attacked, he'll be able to defend himself.

Unless he is cornered somewhere.

Signless, are you trying to make me have a panic attack?

Your friend is missing, too? He didn't go on one of those missions mentioned by Sid, did he?

NO, IF HE DID, I'D AT LEAST KNOW WHERE TO START LOOKING.

No?
