♓ Video ♑ (color coded so you know who is who)

[The video feed flickers on to show a lovely adult troll, tyrian colored eyes matching her tyrian painted lips. Thick black hair down to the ground that seems to wrap around her figure. She, all together, looks rather bored, like this is some tedious effort she doesn't want to deal with.]

Hello, Vatheon.

[A smile touches her features, one much softer than most would expect! Less condescending than her title implies.]

I feel now is a good time to introduce my presence and-

[She turns her head away from the video for a moment, something obviously caught her attention. The video becomes shaky as she walks quickly.]

Grand Highblood?

[The video doesn't turn from its original position, but a low rumbling voice can be heard offscreen:]

Well, my lady. Didn't think I would be all motherfucking finding you here so quick-like and shit.

BUT THIS IS THE EMPRESS
THE ACTUAL FUCKING EMPRESS
HERE IN THE FLESH ALIVE AND TERRIBLE OH GOD.
WHAT ARE WE EVEN GOING TO DO?

WE'LL BAND TOGETHER, THROW IDEAS AROUND, AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
JUST LIKE LAST TIME.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE HER FLEET OR HER EMPIRE BEHIND HER THIS TIME.
SHE HAS THE GRAND HIGHBLOOD, AND PROBABLY DUALSCAR.
SHE'S OUTNUMBERED AND OUTMATCHED.

DON'T BE AFRAID.
I WON'T LET HER HARM YOU OR ANYONE ELSE.

FUCK.
SIGNLESS, NO, THIS ISN'T GOOD.
DUALSCAR KNOWS WE SHOT THE GRAND HIGHBLOOD WITH SOPOR LAST TIME AND THAT WE WERE PLOTTING TO PACIFY HIM SOMEHOW.
I DIDN'T TELL HIM ANYTHING ELSE
I DIDN'T EVEN TELL HIM THAT PART MYSELF
BUT IF HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN TELL THEM.
WE ARE SCREWED.
WE ARE SCREWED IN EVERY ORIFICE WE HAVE AND THEN SOME.

SHHHHH, KARKAT, IT'S OKAY.
SO WE'LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE ARE MANY AND THEY ARE FEW.
AND YOU FORGET... I STAYED AHEAD OF HER AND HER MINIONS FOR SWEEPS.
I KNOW HOW TO AVOID THEM AND KEEP THOSE I LOVE FROM HARM.

WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT.
I PROMISE.

BUT YOU HAD A WHOLE PLANET
WE ONLY HAVE A SINGLE CITY IN A BUBBLE AND AN ISLAND.
WE CAN HIDE UP HERE BUT IT'S
IT'S SURROUNDED BY OCEAN FUCK WHAT IF SHE GOES THERE??
WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF THINGS, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS, I NEVER WANTED TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE EMPRESS HERSELF
HERE OR ANYWHERE.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE, KARKAT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS BY YOURSELF.
I'LL HELP YOU, GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS.
NO ONE IS INVINCIBLE, EVEN HER, AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FIND HER WEAKNESS.

HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN IT IS HER OF ALL PEOPLE
OF ALL TROLLS?

EVERYONE HAS ONE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF FINDING IT.

Edited (because that was totally not the right icon, whoops) 2012-02-26 10:33 (UTC)

IF ALL THE COUNTLESS CIVILIZATIONS SHE'S LED OUR SPECIES TO CONQUER HAVE NOT FOUND HER WEAKNESS
IF NOT ONE PERSON IN OUR SPECIES HAS YET FOUND IT
THEN HOW ARE ANY OF US GOING TO MANAGE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING THEY DON'T.
WE HAVE TIME.
WE HAVE TIME, AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE HER ARMIES OR HER FLEETS, AND WE HAVE MILITARY EXPERTS AT OUR DISPOSAL AS WELL.
WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS.
BY THE GRACE OF THOSE WHO DANCE IN THE NEVERENDING LIGHT, WE'LL FIND A WAY.

BY THE WHAT NOW?

THE NEVERENDING LIGHT.
WHERE WE GO ONCE OUR TIME ON THIS WORLD IS DONE.

THERE IS NO NEVERENDING LIGHT.
THERE WAS ONLY NOTHING
NOT EVEN AWARENESS OF ANY KIND.
AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO PUT MY FAITH IN SOME PSEUDO-RELIGIOUS CRAP TO CARRY US THROUGH WHEN ALL WE HAVE TO RELY ON IS OURSELVES.

IT WASN'T YOUR TIME YET.
THAT'S WHY YOU WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO REST, AND REJUVENATE.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN THEM.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE NOT WATCHING OVER YOU.

PARDON ME IF I STILL DON'T BUY INTO IT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT IF YOU DON'T.
MANY DON'T.
IT'S BECAUSE WHEN THEY'RE DOING THINGS RIGHT, IT'S HARD TO TELL IF THEY'RE DOING ANYTHING AT ALL.
