It really doesn’t help matters that when the SJA kids start putting the pieces together (which let’s face it, is probably John’s fault, thanks John), the Homestuck kids are really insistent that they can’t tell anyone. At all. Especially not an adult. Especially especially not an adult who is an investigative reporter, no, we don’t want to hear about whatever mitigating circumstances you think there are. Just don’t tell anyone, ok? Jade will cut you.

While meanwhile the trolls are getting restless and the Homestuck kids haven’t been able to smuggle as much food to them as they might like so Nepeta has been sneaking out to scavenge.

John is the absolute worst at this. Dave is actually a close second, but he is so often sarcastic and “ironic” that people aren’t going to take time to find out that he’s actually telling the truth when he talks about how his Bro is so awesome he cut a meteor in half with his sword. Jade really slips up sometimes, but she’s so weird that people think she’s half crazy anyway. (Her fight with the teacher over her hair decks didn’t help. She demanded that the let her go to the bathroom to take them out. She did, but it was a weird fight) You don’t get too close to Rose unless you WANT her to start insinuating that you’re secretly attracted to the banisters, but you want to cheat on them with the windows. Or something.

And then there’s this adult poking into their lives thanks to those three kids, who are disturbingly good at actually seeing what’s there, and putting things together. Not cool.

Finding food is hard, and nobody understands what it’s like to try and buy food for 16 on a limited budget without being suspicious about it. They can alchemise more money, but it’s awkward, and there are concerns about being found out (all the alchemized bills have the same sets of serial numbers) and they can’t haul all the food they need from the local grocers without getting suspicious.

Since Karkat can sort of hide his horns, sometimes they’ll paint his skin, slap some sunglasses and a hat on him and send him out for food. But no one likes it, really. It’s risky, and Karkat doesn’t like this ‘going outside’ thing. Nepeta sometimes does it, but her acting skills can be patchy. Besides, she’d much rather hunt. (For a while there are some free-roaming dogs and cats that go missing. Until the kids find out, then their horror puts a stop to it)

The worst bit - and possibly the part that actually gets them to ask for help rather than making vague, bizarre attempts to scare the locals off without arousing further suspicion - is when Gamzee wanders off. Karkat’s worried sick - he was off helping with a grocery run when Gamzee slipped away - because they all know from experience that nothing good can come of the clown wandering around by himself. And the longer he’s out there, the more likely he’s going to end up on the news…

Now I’m thinking of a Sarah Jane Adventures/Homestuck crossover. The new american kids in school are really weird. They don’t talk a lot about stuff they’ve been doing immediately before they transferred over, or even really why they’re here. (They make some noise about study abroad stuff, but they don’t really mean it, and they talk as if they’re here for the forseeable future) Sometimes Rani and Clyde and Luke (maybe) see them swiping some food from lunch.

Meanwhile, the sightings of gray-skinned people with horns jumps up overnight, and Mr. Smith is starting to catch signals from Alternian technology. Which is a Bad Thing, because Alternians are an expansionest empire like the Daleks or Cybermen, and having anyAlternian on Earth spells big trouble.

yes yes yes

good

Once things come to light a little more and everyone has some idea of what’s going on with everyone else, Jade is absolutely charmed by K-9.
