Room 1-01
[Kanaya and Rose were reading, sitting side by side on Kanaya's bed when the lights when out!]

[Barely looking up from her book] Well this is rather inconvenient. [Her eyes adjust quickly and she continues reading, this rainbow drinker novel was really interesting and the sudden power outage wasn't bothering her] Is there enough light for you Rose?

Hallway
[There has to be a light source somewhere, or something that controls all of the technology. Maybe Sollux could fix it!]

[And then there are some voices, she whips around and pulls out her lipstick tube-turned-chainsaw] Reveal yourself.

Ah. The same cannot be said for humans. We are active in the day and sleep through the night on the average case. There are some, much like how you yourself are different, who do the opposite. [She leans over a little to glance at Kanayas book.] Interesting?

Do you also have some like Karkat who refuse to rest at all? The Alternian sun was too harsh but I very much enjoyed the feeling of the rays. [She tilts the book towards Rose] The rainbow drinker has just saved the young troll from being culled.

Not among my friends, but there are some I am quite sure. I did not particularly see too much of the sun, as you can see by the shade of my skin. I lived in the forest. [She peers.] Please don't tell me you're reading a troll version of Twilight, Kanaya.

It seems that Humans and Trolls have many similarities, even if those similarities differ slightly. It's almost believable that we created your Earth. [she looks at Rose's skin] This shade suits you, I cannot imagine you being very dark, especially with your hair color.

Twilight? Oh, you mean the book you spoke of before. No, this is A Rather Unappealing Girl Who Everyone Seems To Like Anyway Moves Away From Her Hive Where She Meets A Rainbow Drinker Who Everyone Loves And Proceed To Fall In Love And Overcome The Challenge Between A Troll-Rainbow Drinker Romance While Simultaneously Trying To Save The Troll From Evil Rainbow Drinkers And Obtain An Education.

Have you seen David yet? Without the influence of a bright sun, it is shockingly obvious how related we are. It's nice to have a sibling who can keep up with my intellectual level, as well.

...Indeed. Troll Twilight.

The alternate Dave? Yes, we spoke over the network. I am unsurprised that you enjoy his intellect.

[So Twilight is bad?]

I've yet to see what is so horrible about the novel, yes it could be written much better and it detracts from the tale a bit but I'm not finding it a horrible addition to rainbow drinker literature as you seem to think it is.

Perhaps the troll version is a bit more palpable to the tastes.

[She'll never willingly read it though.



Unless Kan asks.]

Will you give it a try then? It may prove to be much different than the version you keep referring to.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps I will give it a try. But I give you no promises I will enjoy it.

[she closes the book and hands it to Rose] I have read it previously, no need to do so again if you have chosen to read it as well. Please let me know how much you enjoy it.
