While everyone inevitably dissolved into chaos and separate conversations, Karkat tried his best to listen in to every single one of them. He was managing to catch most peoples' names, at least, as Kanaya greeted them, and was surprised when he heard Sollux, because he was pretty sure that he'd met someone online with that name, but not positive enough to ask about it.
The sight of a pair of glasses floating through the air caught his eye, and he narrowed his eyes at the group responsible. That girl-- Feferi-- had been whispering sketchily to Dirk and Sollux, and it was impossible to tell which of them had done the telekinesis. Well, if anyone wanted to actually plan and work together, they would all have to share their powers sooner or later anyway.
When that other blonde guy (Dave, Karkat was pretty sure) addressed him, Karkat turned to look at him. And immediately was met with an insult to his name of all things. "Wow, sorry for my parents not being fucking white. Also yes, SMRG is fucking perfect for this clusterfuck of a situation. But it is NOT 'Smurg', it is the Super Mighty Rumpus Guild. We are not some fucking slime pokemon. And we are also not fucking vigilantes." Karkat gave Terezi a pointed look. "We're just a bunch of assholes who developed radioactive powers and are being required by a couple of weird, faceless queens to fight monsters together with no experience whatsoever. The point of all this is to try and extract some fucking minuscule thread of rationality from this frothing pit of hell-vomit.
"Getting this many people to work together is going to be a fucking chore. Terezi, I know you instated yourself as co-leader, but I am having trouble envisioning a single scenario in which you will not merely add to the avalanche of shit and chaos. So can I at least get everyone's attention when the time comes? In fact if we want to get any shit done it should start before everyone starts blasting their powers around without any fucking rhyme or reason."
Karkat scanned the crowd. There were a good few people there, so it was probably about time to get started on planning this shit out. Karkat stood up to prepare to get everyone's attention.
