Characters: Terezi and Bluekat
Setting: In the dorms, just after Karkat returns.
Format: Action?
Summary: Terezi thinks Bluekat is being a huge wriggler about this whole "alternate version" business. TIME TO LAY DOWN THE LAW.
Warnings: None!

[Terezi would never, ever understand why she kept becoming friends with cudmudgeonly boys with egos made of glass. Karkat's little temper tantrum had been one of the most ridiculous things she'd seen.

But, to be fair, she could understand why he was frustrated.

That didn't mean he had to be such a baby about it.

So Terezi knocks on his door, tapping her cane against her shoe impatiently.]

[That is pretty adorable, Karkat. She hops to her feet and follows.]

Yes, sir!

[Wandering toward the sixth floor, letting the silence hang for a bit...until:]

In all seriousness, you shouldn't be wandering around this place alone.

[She's behind him, so she can for sure eyeroll without him seeing.]

Why not?

Because if shit in here can kill god tiers, think of what they'll do to people like us.

[Oooh, he was actually making a good point? She quickens her pace to catch up, nodding.]

But someone has to investigate. Right?

I guess.

[That's what the scythes are for anyway.]

Come on, Karkat! Where is your sense of adventure?

Let me know if you find it lying around.

Hint: You probably won't.

[She gives him the meanest look she can manage and doesn't even bother responding.]

[BUT HE'S STILL WALKING, THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING RIGHT?

Besides, how bad can a...forest...be...]

[Siiiigh. She quickens her stride and leads him towards the stairs.]

So hey! What was your Terezi like?

You really want to know?

[Genuine question.]

Yes! [She grins.] I asked, right?

[CASUAL...SHRUG.]

She's kind of hard to describe. Spent a lot of her time teasing and taunting everyone with knowledge of their deaths in the future. I don't know if she ever really saw it that way though. As teasing, I mean. I think she was just talking about what she knew.

[Pause]

Being dead does that to a person, I guess. She never hurt anyone who didn't deserve it, but a lot of people were scared of her -- or didn't know how to act around her.

She's dead? [She frowns, thinking immediately of Aradia, and continues a little tactlessly:] How?

I don't know. She never told me -- I'm not sure she ever told anyone. But she didn't really seem to mind.

Oh.

[There's a slightly awkward pause. This is all sort of weird to hear.]

What was her role?

Seer of Doom.

[Terezi winces sympathetically. She's seen how hard things are for Sollux, and he isn't even a Seer.]

[He notices the wince, and it gives him enough mental security to let his eyelids droop in a bit of sympathy as well.]

Yeah.

Soo...

[She trails off, not quite sure what to say.]

I must be pretty weird to you, huh?

Kinda. You're similar in some ways.

Reaaally? [She grins.] Like what?

Aside from the obvious?

[She nods!]
