Characters: Terezi Pyrope and you!
Setting: The spring floor!
Format: Action
Summary: Terezi is trying to relax after chocolate shenanigans!
Warnings: Hopefully none????


[So, apparently both of Terezi's quadrants had decided it was the perfect time to go insane last week. Things seemed to have calmed down now, but she still wasn't completely positive, so she'd snuck off to the spring floor and plopped down underneath a tree. Sollux was safe, at least, and she hadn't bothered to go check on her matesprit for obvious reasons. There's still a pretty decent gash on her cheek from their last encounter.

It had certainly been the Tower. No other explanation made sense, but that didn't mean she wasn't still shaken up about the whole thing. At least this floor seems quiet for now.]

[Karkat had been sleeping most of the day. To say he was exhausted would've been an understatement. But eventually, he had to go and face the music. He sported several bruises and cuts from the prior three days, but thankfully, nothing life threatening.

He pauses at the entrance to the spring floor, spotting Terezi under a tree. He contemplates walking away, not wanting to disturb her anymore than he already had.]

[scalemate]

[She glances up when she hears movement by the staircase, and honestly she can't... Help but frown when she sees him. She doesn't know if he's back to normal, after all.]

Hi.

[caliginous]

[There's a long pause of silence.]

Yeah. Hey.

[Smooth, Karkat.]

[scalemate]

[Well, okay, if he's acting awkward, maybe he's back to normal.]

You're not going to try to strangle me again, are you?

[caliginous]

About that.

[He forces himself to walk into the room, holding his hands up to show that he's disarmed.]

I don't know what came over me.

[scalemate]

[She hugs her knees to her chest and tilts her head, waiting for further explanation.]

[caliginous]

Yeah. That's it.

[Karkat stopped a few feet away to stare down at her. He's still not really sure what happened.]

I'm sorry.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Vriska's not exactly sorry for what happened the past few days but that doesn't mean she has to like knowing she'd been drugged. Just because it had been different to the pills didn't mean she wasn't annoyed by it.

She's not really seeking company; thus she doesn't immediately appear to notice Terezi.]

[scalemate]

[Terezi notices Vriska, or at least, catches her scent. But there's a slightly different note to the way this Vriska smells compared to hers. A Vriska is a Vriska, though, and Terezi scowls, hoping the other troll will just continue right on past her.]

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Vriska catches that scowl from the corner of her eye and stops, not quite turning to fully face her. And because she doesn't know this is a different world's tealblood or of what happened between Terezi and the other Vriska she's going to interpret it the only way she knows how]

Like a tealblood's really much better in the scheme of things.

[scalemate]

[She frowns, raising her eyebrows.]

What are you even talking about?

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Her jaw tightens a little]

All very well to look down on the blues but it won't make the greens like you any better.

[scalemate]

[Oh is this... One of the weirder alternates...]

Ugggh, I don't give a shit about your stupid flip-flopped hemospectrum.

[knightime]

[Guess who's plopping down right next to you. Guess who hasn't been having a fun time? This cool fucking kid.]

That was fucking ridiculous. [Dave wasn't completely bothered about what happened, but he wasn't happy about it either. Things seemed to be normal now. Whatever normal was.]

[scalemate]

[She giggles, perking up immediately when she realizes it's Dave.]

What are you, the Thief of Mind now?

[knightime]

That's not my shtick. I'm just assuming that the past couple of days was as terrible for me as it was you. Misery likes company and whatever bullshit saying you want to add to it.

And I'm also assuming this isn't even the worst of it because that would be my luck.

[scalemate]

[She tilts her head.]

What happened?

[knightime]

Dead Daves. That's what. Because everywhere I go, Dead Daves has to be a thing that happens apparently.

So what's your beef? Other then whoever decided to smack you across the face.

[scalemate]

[NO BRO BACK UP???????]

You died?

[thebigsister]

[She always feels wary of this floor. It's so green and so lively and so... so strange. It feels almost wrong to step into this floor within the safety of her suit. Part of Eleanor is curious what the grass feels like, under her feet. Part of her wants to lay on the flowers and catch some sunlight.

But she doesn't, she can't, so she makes a round of the floor, steps actually as silent as she can make them, which is a lot, hidden inside her newfound armor. The irony is not lost in her. But then she sees Terezi under a tree, and stops a distance away, watching curiously. She's not sure if she should go closer or not, but she seems to be a... what had that butterfly girl said? Trolls, right. The figure in the shade seemed to be another one. Another child, apparently. It was curious. Eleanor's curiosity was going to be the death of her, one day.

She decides to approach, slowly.]

[scalemate]

[Terezi tilts her head as the girl in armor approaches, but doesn't get up.]

Hi.

[thebigsister]

[Eleanor bobs her head in greeting, stopping a few feet away.]

Hello.

[scalemate]

[She grins, sniffing the air quietly.]

Who are you?

[thebigsister]

My name's Eleanor.

[She tilts her head to the side.]

Pleased to meet you.

[scalemate]

Terezi.

[Paaause.]

What's with the armor?
