Blood Spade

Blood Spade (also known as ??????) is an apparently secret "story" consisting of a single page located here. It is a picture of a gray spade shape on a black background covered with numerous blood splatters. There are no links to this page anywhere on the MS Paint Adventures site and the only way to reach it is by typing in the URL. Within the Homestuck universe, however, this page is apparently the start of the current adventure at mspaintadventures.com. The new story (which has the in-universe title "Midnight Crew") concerns the Midnight Crew and their desire to implement nefarious plots. The adventure starts traditionally, with the Midnight Crew trapped in their hideout after some unbelievable jerkass parked their getaway van on top of the hideout's manhole entrance. This version of the crew does not seem to include Shadow Mobster Kingpin. The adventure quickly devolves into wanton violence, some of it directed against The Felt. The story seems to be incredibly long, having already reached Act 1031.

John Egbert is the first to access this page, noting that the story on it wasn't as interesting as the previous one. Dave Strider has also been known to check it from time to time, while Jade Harley skips straight to a later point in the story.

It is interesting to note that the URL is "http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=3". Every number at the end of this URL corresponds to a different story. 1 is Jail Break, 2 is Bard Quest, 4 is Problem Sleuth, 5 is the Homestuck beta, and 6 is Homestuck.

Although it features the same characters, the Midnight Crew Intermission is not actually part of this main Midnight Crew storyline.
