EQUIUS: D --> Maybe NEPETA: :33 < then we must take this to the pile, scratching-posthaste!!! ;33 EQUIUS: D --> Okay, just for a while though You then proceed to have the most poignant and heartfelt feelings jam in the history of paradox space, or piles of things. > Roleplay.

ROBO PARTS EVERYWHERE! * ok, to the northeast corner > Open door. * try to go back south Equius has blocked the door from the other side with something incredibly heavy! DAMN HIM AND HIS STRONGNESS. * go to the wall showing Dave ♥ Tavros, Rose ♥ Kanaya, and Feferi ♥ Sollux. > Examine shipping wall. You just don't have the heart to update the wall to reflect the recent deaths of your friends. As a veteran shipper, you have grown accustomed to watching your ships get sunk. But not like this. :(( * to the west along the wall > Examine paint set. Alternian paint sets are manufactured with the pigment from the blood of culled wigglers. Which... is pretty pawful, when you think about it! * in the southwest corner > Examine yarn. bat bat bat, pounce pounce pounce. :33 > Examine teapot. Rawrjeeling. So fragrant! Mmmmm. * northwards > Examine sugar pile. Just looking at this pile is making you sleepy. And emotional. No one can ever accuse you of not being prepurred to sweeten a warm beverage! * the individual ships on this wall are in need of review > Examine Gamzee ♦ Karkat. You suppose this pairing is still viable. Although the roles will have to be dramatically reversed! > Examine Vriska ♠ Terezi. Yes! This matchup was always just so purrrrrfect to you. Why can't anyone else see it? WHY CAN'T THEY SEE??? It's hard being a shipper. It's hard, and no one understands. > Examine Jade ♣ (Karkat, Karkat). You will have to remember to write Jade a nice thank you note for helping to stabilize Karkat's unhealthy relationship with his past and future selves. Maybe now with a clear head he will be able to open his eyes to what waits for him in other quadrants. Certain other PAWSIBILITIES. Maybe noticing someone nice over there in that bright red corner, who has been there all along. ;33 > Examine John ? Dersite. This is, um... a ship in progress! Human romance sure is weird. > Examine creats, you mean crates. * a secret ship is revealed! ♥ Nepeta ♥ OTP ♥ Karkat ♥ Oh no!!! No one must ever see. NO ONE MUST EVER S333333333333333333! Some day you will work up the guts to say something. Maybe once this huge murder fiasco blows over! * at the far west of the wall great > Enter great, you mean grate. You suppose you should stay put like Equius said. But its so furstrating being all cooped up in here! Surely scooting through the air ducts for a while couldn't hurt. He will never know! * occasional lyric in the spooky music: ♫ Miracles ♫ Miracles * head north > Look through grate. HONK. Pucefoot? Berrybreath?? DOCTOR HONEYTONGUE??? WHAT MONSTER COULD DO THIS * head west > Look through grate. are you next? :o) H33 h33! Next for what? * head west, and north > Enter grate. * You are in a little room with two transporter pads > Open chest. You got an ENCHANTED SHITTY WIZARD FIGURINE! It's.. A miracle. * inspect the transporters, from east to west > Transportalize. It doesn't work! Someone must have disabled the transportalizer on the other side. > Examine green trail. Looks like someone's being PRETTY SLOPPY with their grub sauce. At least, you hope that's grub sauce... > Transportalize. Someone has chopped this thing right in half! Maybe whoever is traversing through these corridors does not want to be followed? You can certainly respect such sneaky tactics. * in the northwest corner > Enter grate. * head north > Look through grate. We got a theory, you see like, we got a theory about magic and miracles... ♫ We got a theory, about life * You are now Equius once more, head up the stairs to your west * go west to the computer screens ERR ERR SYSTEM ERROR ERR * there's a concealed passage near their north... > Open chest. CAGE You got a SHATTERED BUST OF AN INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE SWEATY HUMAN MALE ACTOR. You have told Nepeta not to scoot through the air ducts and steal the cherished belongings of others. But does she listen? Of course not. * return to the larger lab to your east * go all the way to the northwest corner of the red laboratory > Open chest. You got AHAB'S CROSSHAIRS! Perfect! This is exactly the kind of firepower you could use if you're going up against... You just broke it. * head along the corridor leading east... * north into the darkness... east... > Examine slain beast. Arrows? Fired true, straight through the eyes... Who could have done this? * head east... final cutscene... EQUIUS: D --> Ah, it's you, Pyrope EQUIUS: D --> Have you seen the highb100d about EQUIUS: D --> Pardon, "smelled" GAMZEE: heheh.

GAMZEE: IS A RUNNING MOTHERFUCKING GAG. GAMZEE: then soon. GAMZEE: IT WILL BE RUNNING. GAMZEE: through my motherfucking fingers. EQUIUS: D --> The profanity is sickening EQUIUS: D --> You'll stop GAMZEE: you'll... GAMZEE: KNEEL. >:o) EQUIUS: D --> You are not Pyrope EQUIUS: D --> You are the highb100d, I should have known EQUIUS: D --> Remove your counterfeit eyewear at once EQUIUS: D --> Uh EQUIUS: D --> If you please, sir GAMZEE: i'll show you what i motherfuckin got.

EQUIUS: D --> We really should talk GAMZEE: you really should kneel. EQUIUS: D --> What was that EQUIUS: D --> The volume of your voice keeps fluctuating GAMZEE: I SAID. GAMZEE: kneel motherfucker.
