Dubiously Canon Partying

Be Karkat.

You are now KARKAT. You and your pal GAMZEE have been hiding under a bridge for a while now. After your HUMILIATING DEFEAT to Fred Figglehorn, and placing in last place, you have had to go into hiding to avoid YOGI'S RAGE. Things are not so bad though, It’s far more quiet over here than with all the others. Just you, Gamzee, and the soothing sounds of a FLOWING RIVER. You don’t just hang out with Gamzee though, usually late at night when Yogi is asleep you go and hangout with some of the other contestants. Tonight, however, is not that night. Tonight is all about writing. Recently you’ve taken up writing SHEET MUSIC, and It’s what you have been spending a lot of your free time doing as of late. You’re about to start writing a new song when you get a notification from your HUSKTOP. It looks like someone is messaging you.

Karkat: Answer

Hey! Karkat! It's been a while!
WHAT THE FUCK? I THOUGHT I BLOCKED YOU AGES AGO.
I unblocked myself from your husktop while you were sleeping.
YOU WHAT?
Kidding, I have my ways.
CUT TO THE CHASE, WHY IN THE EVERLOVING GOG ARE YOU MESSAGING ME AT STUPID O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING?
It's 8:37 pm.
WHATEVER.
Anyways, I've been asked to ask You to unblock someone.
WHO?
BG. He has something very important to ask of you, but he won't tell me what.
WILL THAT GET YOU TO STOP TALKING TO ME?
Yes.
FINE.

Why the hell would BG need to talk to you? You came in last place, he should think you're long gone by now.

Karkat: Unblock BG

You unblock BG, who instantly starts messaging you.

You close your husktop and rise from your cot. You stretch, then walk towards a nearby dumpster.

"HEY ASSHAT, GET THE FUCK UP. THERE'S A PARTY HAPPENING AND WE ARE GOING. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OBJECT. YOU WILL COME WITH ME AND YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME!"

Out of the dumpster pops Gamzee, who has been sleeping inside it ever since their defeat. Upon Karkat’s request to get up, he jumps out of the dumpster doing a sick flip.

"hElL yEaH mY mOtHeRfUcKiNg BeSt BrOtHeR! wE aRe GoNnA uP aNd RoCk ThIs PaRtY!"

Karkat begins digging through the dumpster and pulls out some articles of clothing.

"THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR! NOW, THROW THIS SHIT ON. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE HUMAN EVENTS KNOWN AS A 'HALLOWEEN PARTY' AND THERE'S A DRESS CODE."
"fUcK yEaH!"

You both throw on your costumes. You are dressed as Geromy from Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff while Gamzee is dressed as Caliborn, although the two of you do not know who those two are as you have never met them or have been told about them.

"woAh BrO! yOuR sHiRt Is ViBrAnT aS fUcK!"
"I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW A SHIRT CAN BE THIS BRIGHT. HOPEFULLY IT WON'T ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF THAT RAGE-FILLED GRIZZLYBITCH."

You and Gamzee journey through the woods and find the MAIN ROAD. You see the entrance and can't help but feel a little anxious. You completely forgot that if Yogi spots you, despite mentioning him moments earlier, you're fucked. You arrive at the MAIN ENTRANCE, where it appears that a certain vampire is stationed.

"Well, well, well, just the two I was looking for!"
"hEy ThErE pSyChIc!"
"...HELLO ARATAKA. WHY THE HELL WERE YOU LOOKING FOR US?"
"It wouldn't be a complete party until the last place contestants showed up! You two are some of the last people to arrive."
"I have been personally greeting everyone who showed up. Most people thought you two would skip out, glad they’re wrong though."
"Come on in, there's refreshments and activities for everyone to enjoy!"
"fUcK yEaH mY bRoThEr! LeAd ThE wAy!"

Reigen leads you and Gamzee over to a table covered in various SNACKS, TREATS, and DRINKS provided by a little chef. You all pick up plates for some food when suddenly-

"AHHHHH A VAMPIRE!!!!!!!!!"
"What the h-"

Fred has jumped out from behind the table, with a WATER GUN in his hand. He begins bombarding Reigen with water, which reeks of GARLIC. Fred is screaming incredibly loud as he sprays Reigen down. It’s catching the attention of everyone else. You and Gamzee can’t help but laugh. In the midst of the chaos you and Gamzee grab some food and drink, Gamzee specifically grabbing a bottle of Faygo. The two of you find a bench and sit down to eat.

"YOU KNOW, MAYBE COMING HERE WASN’T SO BAD OF AN IDEA."
"tHaT's WhAt I lIkE tO hEaR! sPeNdInG gOoD tImE wItH mY bEsT bRo Is ThE bEsT."
"HEH, YEAH. IT SURE IS."
