[01] video

[grandhighblood]

[ Your screen is black. At first you might think it's a glitch, but you're wrong! It's a writhing mass of black...stuff, strands, and it's impossible to tell what it is at first until finally cracks of light cut through and the strands of black peel away from the screen like wet hair.

Which is...what it is. Beads of water speckle the screen and the screen shakes violently as it hits the ground, showing you, The Viewer, who it all motherfucking belongs to.

Despite the curtain of sopping wet hair, his face is very visible, and very pissed off. This is a huge troll, though his size is hard to gauge from the screen itself. His body is hunched over, the muscles in his overgrown arms tense and flexing, the purple sheen of his armor gleaming through the matted tendrils of hair. His teeth are clenched, eyes wide in a brief moment of shock -- bright red, and they're swiveling around in their sockets trying to take in the bright lights that are not searing his skin and sensitive eyeballs, and the new sights around him that just up and appeared the fuck out of nowhere!

He lets out a raspy barking sound, growling and clenching his teeth so hard that one of his fangs pierce his gums, a thin trail of indigo sliding down over his lip and chin. Then he takes a breath, suddenly going very still, the only movement being the large drops of water dripping off his person. Then suddenly, his eyeball swivels down towards the screen, still wide from the overall shock. His voice is low, but clear to all that are even bothering to listen: ]

I motherfucking SEE YOU...

Comments

1/2 first one isnt here. sort of.

[OH FUCK SHRIEKING.]

[The most quiet of voices.]

No you do not and you can go back to wherever you came from.

[rebull]

[Sorry too good to get on cam for you.]

[But are you serious? Did this ass hole have to swim back here?]

nO ONE ASKED FOR AN ENCORE, cHUCKLEFUCK.

video for now;

[grandhighblood]

[Stares at the shitty looking words all scrawled across the screen and finally brings himself to claw a hand through his hair to get it out of his face. Makeup has completely washed off, but he doesn't look any less horrible.]

What's all this, motherfucker? Who the motherfuck do you all think you are, getting your addressing on to a brother like he all knows him. [A snarl.]

[Video]

[heartandsoul]

[...That's a big one, all right. She didn't actually see the GHB last time he was here, so this is mildly surprising to her. His soul is probably ginormous, too, but oh no not testing to see if she can see it through a video screen. Giant killer clown or not, he's still new.]

With all due respect...I should hope that you see me, or else that means my SFC is already broken. Have you gotten a towel yet?

[Video]

[grandhighblood]

[ok what

the fuck

is that?????

fuck the towel! what's wrong with your skin!?!?!]

The motherfuck...

[Voice] What do you mean sassing GHB is bad?

[knightime]

I really doubt that honestly. Last time I checked, my video function has to be on for you to see me.

But good try. A for effort even. Maybe I'll humor you if I find a good reason to. [What do you mean he should be worried? Older trolls can be dangerous? No one told him that.]

[Voice] now where did you hear a nasty rumor like that????

[grandhighblood]

You do that, motherfucker. Humor a brother for a bit. You motherfucking get your humorous throwdown all up in this bitch, and I'll motherfucking wring your shitty little chitinous tube like a fucking balloon.

Sound good?

[He's just. In a particularly bad mood, ok. Water is not his best friend.]

[unconchonable]

[Really? As if he needed more bullshit after everything... He'd be considerably less nervous if he wasn't injured recently. Being blind in one eye a good marksman does not make.]

an here i thought wwe just got rid a ya
listen here you embarrassin excuse for a troll dont get any bullshit FUNNY ideas or wwell take ya the fuck dowwn like last time
though knowwin your type wwe wwont havve much of a choice in regards to that

[grandhighblood]

[Sorry, he recognizes your text as Dualscar at first...that is, if Dualscar was drunk and was dealing with some shitty keyboard that had broken shift keys. So he's got this weird look on his face for a second, but then he just grins lazily.

He's finally got a grip on himself by this point, so the video immediately shuts off and now he's trying to work this text thing.]

Heh heh heh.
OH I MOTHERFUCKING SEE!
I'm the motherfucking embarrassment here, now is that what you're all trying to get your tell on to a brother?
LAST I MOTHERFUCKING SAW.
Was the nub of a certain blubbering sea-dweller all sitting cozy-like on my lap.
BUT FINE, MOTHERFUCKER, LET'S SAY YOU ALL DID TAKE A MOTHERFUCKER DOWN.
I don't recall such an event to be happening, and I do not easily forget such actions of fucking lowblood-level defiance.

[TEXT]

[bethehugejerk]

GOD DAMNIT.
OF ALL THE THINGS I DO NOT NEED NOW, OR EVER, IT'S YOU SHOWING UP AGAIN.
CAN'T I EVER JUST HAVE ONE WEEK EASY?
ONE.
ONE SINGULAR WEEK IN THE SEA OF TIME, TO RELAX AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MURDERHAPPY ASSHOLES WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP TO THEMSELVES.
LET ME GUESS, ASKING YOU TO KEEP YOUR CLUBS TO YOURSELF IS POINTLESS.

[TEXT]

[grandhighblood]

Yes.
YOU KNOW A MOTHERFUCKER SO WELL AND WE ALL JUST FUCKING MET.
Your casual mouthing off to the Grand Highblood strikes one as motherfucking curious, so now I got to be all asking.
WHY THE MOTHERFUCK DO YOU ASSUME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE?

[Video]

[4before]

[... Well that doesn't look good. Sissel fluffs up, yowling angrily back. He is the toughest kitty ever!]

[Video]

[grandhighblood]

[There's a cat on his screen.

Why...what does he even all say to a cat?

NOTHING STUPID, WOW, IT'S A CAT. He'll just stare at it for a while.]

[ninthserenade]

no you dont

_{[Yep. Cover up fear with immaturity. Sounds like a good plan to him!]}

[seablaze]

I will take away Mr. Star from you.

[video]

[seablaze]

[There is a face he hasn't seen in a while.]

I see ya too, sunshine. Enjoy your arrival?

[video]

[grandhighblood]

[He bristles at the nickname, but otherwise looks just downright mopey, especially with all that droopy hair.]

No. State your motherfucking name, human. [Just assumes anything that's not a troll is a human hurhur]

you get neither of my trolls, you get my butterfly

[lyrewings]

[Butterfly is still hanging out in the Plaza, so he's around when the giant shows up, and his bright eyes are immediately drawn to the color of his armor. He flutters over and lands on the giant's chest, right on a bright band of color, and starts singing happily, beating his wings slowly back and forth.]

Start wearing purple wearing purple,
Start wearing purple for me now!
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish,
I promise, it's just a matter of time!

sob at least the butterfly is pretty <3 and fff i love gogol

[grandhighblood]

[He regards the singing...butterfly...with a look of curiosity. Just staring down at his chest now, blinking at it calmly, well...as calmly as one can after one has just experienced a bit of a freakout.

When it gets to the "matter of time" line, his raises his hand slowly, as if reaching up to crush it.]

[p2iioniicii2t]

Grand Hiighblood.
Welcome two Vatheon.

Private;

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < mister psii :((
:33 < purrlease be careful
:33 < especially since signless is asl33p right now

[Video]

[the_demonmaid]

[Oh.]

[Oh shit. Well, she'd twisted highbloods around her little finger before. Usually to start a war, but she could do this. When she turned on her own video, her eyes were a solid mass of blinking color. If anything, letting her power surround her and cover her eye color should make him laugh for a bit.]

Welcome to Vatheon, Grand Highblood.

[Video]

[grandhighblood]

[He's taken back by the flashing lights, but he adjusts pretty quickly. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he smirks just a tad. A troll, obviously, with a freakish ability of some sort.]

Well, motherfucking well, then. Who the motherfuck do we all got here?

[1/3? probably 3]

[420]

[Oh fuck. Oh fuck Oh fuck this shit, he is just going to hide under his bed forever, this sucks. He didn't want you back. Nope nope nope.]

[2/3]

[420]

[And after that first moment of terror has settled into comfortable all-round fear and deep hatred bubbling somewhere in his stomach, he forces himself to think. He can't hide. Can't be so fuckin' useless again. He's gotta be strong. Wataru had taught him to be strong. And he had done it before. He had faced this thing before and come out alive, if not very near to pissing his polka-dotted pants. They could just do the same thing as last time! Just hadda ask Lily and Eridan to...

Oh. Right.

Fuck.

Either way! Karkat will come up with a plan. He always does. Count on Karkat to have a thousand plans. He's an amazing miracle-worker like that. So, just gotta sit tight, real fuckin' tight, and make sure this motherfucker ain't putting any harshness on his friends again. Play the distraction again. That had worked last time!

Except last time he had Eridan at his back, ready to dart the motherfucker on the first sign of trouble.]

Not here baw

[devwocean]

[Oh. Fuck.]

[Filtered] After a very, very long time of introspection and consideration

[devwocean]

Grand Highblood.

[private]

[aim_exorable]

[Last time, he could not even bear to talk to this troll. His exile- what blood dictated to him but what he could not listen to- had terrified him and caused conflict. In the end, all he could do was avoid him and keep a relentless watch on the elevator until things were finally settled.]

[But time has passed. Things are different.]

[He won't let Gamzee be put into danger again. He won't let Equius have a hair on his head be touched.]

[It almost hurts, to bring himself to type out a reply, but this is something he has to face.]

D --> Grand Highblood
D --> If there is any way I can be of assistance
D --> I shall do my best to fulfill your needs

[In his own way, of course. When it comes to highbloods... Things have to be approached in a certain way.]

[private]

[grandhighblood]

[The last time the highblood ever even set eyes on the Expatriate was the day of his exile, and boy, that was a day of many heavy feelings. Just what he needed, more weight all up on his motherfucking shoulders with the massive weight of his wet hair.

When the familiar quirk and color appears, he instinctively sneers. The sting of the betrayal almost feels fresh again, and he answers immediately.]

Oh.
YEAH, MOTHERFUCKER, I KNOW YOU ALL WILL.
Because that sure all was what you fucking up and did the last time I let you all stand by my motherfucking side.

Video;

[messianic]

[Blink.

Blink.

Oh whoah.]

Hello.

It's good to see you too.

[And he waves!]

Video;

[grandhighblood]

[possibly the most adorable response he's gotten so far. he cocks his head, water flicking everywhere, and lets a small grin play on his lips. Humans are so fearless, he thinks. Sure, the trolls here have also shown a surprisingly amount of courage than what he's all used to, but fuck, humans are just on a completely different level.

What's their deal? Did they have something that made them so confident in the face of danger?]

Ain't that motherfucking sweet? Heh heh... tell me, human: How do you all like this motherfucking Paradise under the sea?

[video]

[red_medic]

[Not impressed, sorry. Medic is paranoid about sneaky spies and hidden snipers, not massive, hairy... well. Whatever this is.]

Ja. Zhat sort of zhing happens if you turn on your video function. Do you need anyzhing?

[video]

[grandhighblood]

[Nah, it's cool, bro. He doesn't mind whatever kind of reaction you have to him, really. They're all good reactions.]

I need you to be all turning down the motherfucking PERKY DIAL, motherfucker! You're killing a brother here, heh heh.

Video

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda remembers Dolorosa's warning from the last time this guy showed up, so she doesn't actually go to give him a towel or something. She's not stupid. Mostly. She still has to respond to the video, though.]

Goodness. And I see you. Have you been informed about the nature of this place, yet?

Video

[grandhighblood]

[He regards the palest of pale-skinned bitches he's all ever laid eyes on with curiosity, and decided she looked way too delicate for her own good. What's up with these aliens and their soft features, all like the ripest of summer peaches, just ready for the plucking...]

All aside from the motherfucking nature of it being a shitty place under the motherfucking ocean? No.

[Video]

[flyingdreams]

M-my goodness, you're frightening...

[But she must be polite, after all.]

Have you, ah, been introduced to the area...?

[Video] MORE THREADJACKS

[420]

No. No no no no. You can't talk to this motherfucker, mama. He ain't right for you to all fuckin' meet.

[He is sounding panicky! Far too panicky to mind his language.]

[Video] I tried to keep him away, sob i am sorry

[hecklinghare]

[Have a bright blue eye staring right at you, very close to the screen.]

I see you too, doc.

[Video] no shhhhh no i love bugs bunny come at me bro ;v;

[grandhighblood]

[Staring right back. Oh, they're blue. But you certainly are not a troll, so fuck that. Doesn't even matter! There's a low growl as he glares through the strands of wet hair at him.]

What manner of creature or motherfucking beast are you, motherfucker?

[savemegermany]

[ okay, so that's not what Italy wants to see on his SFC. ever. The poor little country is terrified. ]

AAAAAAHHHHHH! I surrender! I surrender! Please don't hurt meeeeeeee!!!!

[grandhighblood]

[Italy is the perfect example of a thing that the highblood would cull, even off-duty! Sorry, bro.]

As much as a brother all wants to be balling up his fist and cracking your idiotic fucking face open with it, this is bit a shitty screen we be all communicating through. Maybe next time? Heh heh...

video;

[gorges]

...Well duh, it's a communicator. That sort of thing happens, y'know.

[Unfazed.]

video;

[grandhighblood]

[blinks at the unfazed human girl thing.]

I didn't motherfucking expect it.
