Ten years later, humanity and the synthetic life on the station are at odds
Hypatia has inducted as many citizens of Sacrosanct into a private military and launched
an all-out war against organic life and the people of Asphodel.
Some were kept on the station as captives, some escaped down planet-side
to become part of the resistance, and countless others were re-purposed into
Hypatia's willing slaves.

Now, tensions are at a peak and both sides are preparing for a throwdown. Skirmishes break out on the station and planet. Many of Hypatia's prisoners have been freed, but many more have fallen to the clutches of reprogramming.

Where will you be?

How this works:
-If you are synthetic or part-synthetic, OR if you have special armor (Looking at you, Spartans, Troncast, EVERY ROBOT EVER) you are a target for re-purpose.
You can still have escaped down to the planet, but she'll be after you. Going to the station is dangerous, once you enter her wide-area-network you are at risk of being hacked

-If you are fully organic, you are either dead, kept prisoner and made to work on the station, or part of the resistance on Asphodel.

-Anything in-between? You decide. Be creative with this.

-Fill out the form below to give us an idea of what your character is up to, what happened to them etc. Thread with each other! RP it out!

-Also, bring in your extra journals! There won't be the same people on the station ten years from now! If you're planning to app someone, or just have something interesting lying around, toss them in!

Oh, Karkat has been waiting for this day. He's looked for Jack-- Fuck, he's looked for all of his friends. But his top priority, the one that has always seemed the most realistic, has been Jack.

So, it's with a ridiculous amount of victory opens that locked door and finds Jack. That victory completely vanishes when he sees what a mess the man's become. Oh, fuck. Those limbs. This is going to be a bitch, but Karkat knows he needs to remove them before he can take Jack anywhere. But to remove them, he's going to need to keep Jack calm.

"Jack, it's me, Karkat. I'm getting you out."

It takes him a second to process that, and even when he does he can hardly believe it. But even after all these years, he can't forget Karkat's voice. He's always known about the raids and Karkat's role in them-- Hypatia wouldn't pass up an opportunity to remind him how often his kid almost got murdered by robots-- but having been stuck on the station for so long, he'd pretty much given up on the kid ever finding him. Why would he, anyway? Jack could have just as easily been dead right about now. There were more useful people out there the kid could be busting out.

Then he's hit with the realization that oh god Karkat is ass-deep in robot country.

"Oh, fuck-- fuck, kid, what are you doing here?!" he hisses, squirming and trying to figure out where the troll is standing so he can yell at him properly. So much for keeping Jack calm.

Karkat, predictably, hisses right back, "Shut the fuck up, old man. I'm getting you out." He starts in on Jack's robobits, trying to figure out ways to detach them.

"I'm going to have to get rid of this junk first, though. And I'm going to have to do it fast. Not much time." It's really easy to pluck out someone's roboeye when they don't have limbs to fight you off.

He's been stuck here so long it feels like it's been an eternity since he's really been angry, but now that the kid is here it comes so easily to him. That fucking moron.

"Don't you tell me to-- are you completely insane?!" be snarls, still trying his best to wriggle free of... Karkat saving his ass. "Jesus Christ, the place'll be crawling out the ass with security any fucking minute, just forget about me and get the hell out!"

And then the kid just starts pulling shit out of him. Maybe he can't move them right now, but those prosthetics are still a part of him, and he definitely feels a jolt when the kid starts picking at his arms and legs and reaching into his sockets-- oh fuck no, he does not like being taken apart.

"Stop-- fuck, stop! Don't touch that!" His breathing quickens, and he gives up reasoning in favour of thrashing more desperately. "Put my fucking eye back you little shit! Leave me the fuck alone!"

This probably isn't going to be a very stealthy escape.

Karkat stops, only for a moment, to look Jack right in his only organic eye remaining and threaten, "I will knock your ass out if you make me," before detaching his arm.

Nope surprise that one's robotic now, too. But the message still gets across the same. And Jack keeps hissing and struggling, though to a slightly lesser degree now.

"Don't you fucking talk to me that way! I will shoot your fucking hands off!" With that gun he doesn't have. "Are you trying to get us BOTH killed?!"

Whoops, plucking the other roboeye out then. Also detatching both legs. YOU HAVE ONLY AN ARM NOW.

"You're going to be us BOTH killed if you keep asking like a goddamn moron." He emphasizes that last word with a pap to Jack's face, "Now, shut up for a second."

There's a bit more panic to his voice than he'd like, but as Jack was bitching, Karkat was hearing some unpleasant things coming from the lab outside. Like robots. Based on their movements, he knew they were surveillance, and it wouldn't take long for them to realize someone had broken in. Fuuuuuck.

Nope 2x surprise combo, that arm is also robotic. Did you really think he'd get to keep one when it would be so much more efficient to trade it out for another shiny new metal arm? Everything is robots now. Everything.

He snarls and hisses and grumbles some more, but this time he seems to actually listen, somewhat. Or maybe he just tired himself out with all that bitching. The reason doesn't really matter, because once he quiets down he hears the activity going on outside.

"Fuck." Okay, fine, maybe now wasn't the time for throwing a fit over Karkat getting himself into danger. That could come later, assuming they got out of here alive.

"You got a plan or not?"

"Of course I've got a plan." Welp that other arm goes and NOW YOU ARE JUST A BIG SMELLY TORSO HOW DOES IT FEEL, JACK!?!??

That plan obviously involves Karkat picking Jack up and running. It is brilliant.

IT'S WHAT HE'S ALWAYS DREAMED!!! Finally, he understands how Deuce feels, except without the freaky invisible bullshit cheater arms.

Wow, he can barely tell what's going on and even Jack realizes this is the stupidest fucking plan ever. There's like robots and shit everywhere. They're probably being shot it. This is dumb.

"You didn't even make a goddamn escape plan before getting into this, did you??"

Oh, wow, way to be judgmental you stuped torso butt. Karkat's got this shit under control, even if they are being shot at. Because as he runs, he's dropping bombs. Lots and lots of bombs. Bombs that will soon start detonating.

"Shut up and let me run!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BABY BOOM.

"My yelling isn't gonna fucking stop you, you dumb fuck!" Screeched directly into your delicate ears.

Not even fazed by the explosions. Instead he takes note of the more important detail here-- "Where the fuck are the bear traps, didn't you learn ANYTHING from me?!"

"BEAR TRAPS DON'T WORK ON ROBOTS!" Most of the robots that had been chasing them were either exploded or focusing on the explosion. Providing a perfect getaway. Holla holla.

"THEN YOU'RE NOT FUCKING USING THEM RIGHT!" No. Bear traps rule. Do not pass GO, do not collect dolla.

Dolla is collected as Karkat launches a bear trap from his Sylladex at an oncoming robot to prove his point. Unfortunately, the opposite of his point is proven as both the bear trap and the robot explode into glory.

Jack is still eyeless and thus can't see shit, but his ears are well-tuned to the sounds of beartraps and dead robots.

"HAH, SEE?! There you fucking go!"

"Oh goddamnit, you're a torso. You have no eyes or limbs. You have no room to talk."

WRONG. He is not just a torso, he is also a head.

He will remind Karkat of this by biting his shoulder viciously.

"FUCKING SHITGODFUCKWHATTHEHELLWASTHATFOR--" Jack, you are getting DROPPED. And then promptly picked up. And dusted off. And tucked under an arm.

"You bite me again, I will remove your mouth." The logistics of this statement can't be verified, but fuck you. He'll do it.

OW FUCK you are dropping your poor old abused stabdad on the ground you horrible monster. He could've cracked a rib if his ribs weren't already reinforced with steel. Still he wheezes a little before Karkat hauls him back up.

"Oh yeah, like I haven't heard that one already." Thank fuck Hypatia never got around to replacing his voice box. "Stop calling me a fucking torso and get your ass moving!"

Edited 2012-02-07 07:03 (UTC)

Ass is moving. Ass is moving so hardcore, and it's not even a booty bounce. Through the glories of me getting tired of describing shit and bear traps, both Karkat and Jack make it back to the planet and live together in harmony harmony aaaalllwaayyys.

And then Jack got new robobits that weren't full of Hybitchia bullshit and moved into a cardboard box outside Karkat's house and played shitty beach CDs all fucking night long GOOD END????

GOOD END
