Definitely not a "vurp" and definitely not something she wants to taste

<sub>[This day was already turning out to be way weirder than Vanellope wanted to deal with. The last thing she remembered-- those creepy bugs coming out of the ground, and a crash, and Ralph yelling, and then--

...waking up here, and finding that weird note. Luckily the words were all simple enough for her to understand. Unluckily... the words were all simple enough for her to understand. No way could Sugar Rush have been destroyed! Glitches couldn't leave their game, right? And... and...

But those bugs, A small, nagging voice in the back of her mind whispered. Remember those bugs?

She didn't want to deal with it.

Another thing she didn't want to deal with? The jumpsuits. Uh, hello? Totally not her style! Her hoodie was much better racer material, thank you. She'd changed clothes and grabbed a handful of candy from her trunk ASAP.

Exploring the tower was something she definitely needed to do. She found herself at the bottom floor cafeteria more quickly than she would have thought - idly bringing a piece of licorice up to her lips to chew on, she passes through the doors.

A moment later, just after swallowing, she gags. Both hands fly up to her mouth and she makes a dash for the nearest trash can, jumping up to empty her stomach into it.]</sub>

What--?!

_{[When the vomiting subsides, she hops back down onto the floor and eyes the licorice suspiciously.]}

...bad licorice.

_{[With that, she pops a mint into her mouth. A moment later, she has to jump back up to the edge of the trash can. This is not okay. She's sure she could have some fun with it if it didn't make her stomach hurt so bad... but it does hurt. And it's not just one or two candies. She's trying it out with everything she's got, and the result's the same every time. Finally, she collapses on the ground next to the trash can, her face a little green.]}

This really stinks!

Comments

[uzuki]

Are you alright?

[Have a concerned young woman, crouching down next to Vanellope.]

Have you tried eating the oatmeal, yet?

[She smiles sadly. She's trying to keep up a cheerful attitude, but seeing someone so young brought to the tower is still upsetting.]

[glitchinprincess]

Oatmeal...?

[She doesn't even have the energy to make some snarky comment. She just shakes her head.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko was feeling a little under the weather today. It had nothing to do with the cold, even though that was getting worse. She just felt..tired, and her nose was clogged up. She was sneezing quite a bit, so she went to the cafeteria, hoping to find some napkins that would help. However, as she wandered in, she saw a little girl that was sitting next to a trash can, looking quite ill.]

Hey, are you alright? What's wrong? Stomach flu?

[glitchinprincess]

No, I'm not alright! I think someone poisoned my candy or something! It keeps making me sick!

[And for someone from a game called Sugar Rush, not being able to handle candy is really weird.]

What's going on in this place?!

[tentacletrainer]

[[Rose had been lucky enough to learn to eat the oatmeal before anything else, but seeing why wasn't a bad lesson. Not that she realized this was the problem. Too new to know everyone here, she doesn't want to assume, especially when it's certainly getting cold enough to catch a bug. Feeling bad for the little girl, she extends a friendly hand to her to help her up.]]

Not feeling well?

[glitchinprincess]

Every time I try to eat candy I get sick. This is weird.

[She takes Rose's hand and gets to her feet - that's a little easier to do. She's not feeling so dizzy now that she's out of candy to try and eat.]

Who are you?

[ceasetoexist]

[He keeps getting the feeling he should say something but really? It is just funny as hell in a way to watch Vanellope try eating candy time and time again and get punished for it. So Pokey will just hang back for a moment and let her try again and again to the point where she's turned green. He's got to admit, he's having a hard time holding back laughter when he approaches the younger kid.]

Man kid....

[And he looks into the trash can and Rapidly backs away, gagging and laughing at the same time.]

Whoa. You just about filled the stupid thing!

[glitchinprincess]

Impressive, huh? You should see what I can do on a really good day!

[She's starting to feel a little better since she's not hurling anymore. Just enough to shoot him a cheeky little grin.]

I bet you couldn't fill it all the way up!

[And I am so sorry for the terrible timing but I have to go for a few hours! ;; I'll be back later though!]

[starofpleiades]

[After the first unpleasant vomiting noise, Kazumi came out of the kitchen, and the second helped her locate the poor little girl throwing up in the trash can. Oh no, someone must not have eaten their oatmeal...

Grabbing a damp hand towel and a dry one, she runs over]

Oh no, did you just get here?

[glitchinprincess]

What gave it away?

[One would think she'd be used to stomachaches, but - not really. Sugar was just normal for her. It hadn't really ever made her sick before, so this just seems strange to her.

Way stranger than waking up in that weird room in those weird clothes.]

[idolizer]

[ ... Being aware of what happens when you don't eat that certain food, and having never seen this little girl, Sayaka rushes over despite the unpleasant vomit smell, patting her on the back. Goddamn it, tower, you bring even children in this mess? ]

There, there... you must be new, aren't you? You have to eat a certain food before you can eat anything else.

[glitchinprincess]

What? You have to? Why? That's just stupid! Who made that rule?!

[Vanellope really doesn't like being told what to do. It's one of her least favorite things, really.]

...and how'd you know I just got here?

[colorfulbrilliance]

[Meiling is just going to wait until the girl stops vomiting before approaching. She kneels next to her and holds out a hand, a worried look on her face.]

I'm guessing no one has told you about the first meal thing yet huh?

[glitchinprincess]

What first meal thing?

[That'd be a "no." Vanellope takes Meiling's hand and gets to her feet.]

Who're you? Where is this place? What's going on here?

[disgracedvoid]

[Darkleer looms. Well, because he looms even when he doesn't mean to. It's not his fault everyone around here happens to be so bloody small.]

You could perhaps go be sick elsewhere?

[Then again, given how much of an ass he can be, the looming is almost like a warning for most people. Beware, giant asshole approaching.]

[glitchinprincess]

[The look Vanellope flashes him is defiant. She gets to her feet and puts her hands on her hips. Then something occurs to her... she reaches up to snag a small piece of candy on her head and pops it into her mouth.]

Blehhh--

[Oh, dear. Darkleer might want to back up, because Vanellope's trying to throw up on him.]

Just try an' tell me what to do again, mister...

[She wipes at her mouth with the back of her hand. Ewww. Totally worth it, though.

I am so sorry. OTL]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[Jade's just kind of been

Standing here

watching this kid eat candy and then puke and then eat candy and puke.

And again.

And then again.


Dude seriously how long is this gonna go on for]

Y'know, that smell might be because of you letting your insides boil over every five minutes. Just a thought.

[glitchinprincess]

I was talking about the situation. Doiiii.

[She eyes Jade up and puts her hands on her hips.]

Who are you, anyway? The trashcan police?

[semipotence]

[Jade hasn't been in the cafeteria for all that long when she hears...

Oh. Oh, jeez. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. She looks around for the source of the sound and sees the Vanellope over by the trash can.

With a flash of green, she teleports over to her, a concerned look on her face.]

Um... Hi! I'm guessing you're new here.

[glitchinprincess]

...

[She just stares up at Jade for a few moments. Was she seeing that right? Jade had just... appeared in front of her!

It was almost like her own glitching... Could it be? Maybe there was someone like her here, at least a little... Sweet mother of monkey milk, was there more than one glitch around here?]

Yeah! I'm new. Really new. So new that I'm practically softer than a baby's bottom!

this needs to be a thing, i'm sorry

[papshooshing]

[ he just sort of watches this go on. really, Karkat should feel sympathetic, right? ha ha ha. no, not in the least. at best this sort of behavior is nothing short of annoying. does this little grub not have any sort of critical thinking skills tucked away in her think pan? humans, or humanoids really, just seem to lack in this area no matter what...

any fine upstanding resident of the tower would kindly point out that this isn't going to work. that's really what Karkat should do... ]

Are you quite done making a complete and total fucking fool of yourself yet? Others would like to have a meal in peace and your consistent gagging is making it no easier on the appetite.

hello we have just met but i think i love you already

[glitchinprincess]

[She looks up from her place on the ground and gives him a look that is completely and utterly unamused. She doesn't understand what all of the words he said means - her game's G-rated, okay?! - but she understands enough of them to know that this guy isn't being nice.]

Yanno, you could just ask nicely! Because if you don't you might end up having not-so-nice things happen to you.

[Not-so-nice things like-- OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD VANELLOPE, DON'T TAKE CANDY OUT OF YOUR HAIR AND EAT IT TO FORCE YOURSELF TO THROW UP IN KARKAT'S GENERAL DIRECTION wasn't once in this entry enough for you]

[macedonian]

[His attention isn't caught at first, since Rider is deeply engrossed in a book he'd brought with him, but the sounds of retching can't be ignored the second time, even in his fervor for reading The Odyssey for an uncountable time. He glances up, knowing right away that it must be a case of someone not warning a new arrival, but he's surprised to see how young (and odd, but that's more of a sidenote) looking the new arrival is. He makes a noise of discontent, but immediately sets his book aside and stands so that he can walk over to meet her. And waits until she's finished barfing to speak up...]

Ahh, girl, you will find that all of your food will give the same result. It is a strange thing, I understand, but you will find that if you should eat some of the oatmeal first, it will not produce such a violent reaction.

[glitchinprincess]

[She looks up and her reaction is immediate - she runs at him, jumps up, and throws her arms around his neck]

Ralph!

[...then she pauses as she realizes that this man doesn't smell like he just crawled out of a garbage disposal. She jumps back and gets a better look at him. No... this guy's got facial hair, and his hair is lighter. His clothes are different too. And he's got muscles, not fat. His hands are smaller. Plus, Ralph's taller than him. This guy's tall, but Ralph's nine feet tall, not seven.]

...You're not Ralph - you tricked me! Who are you?!

[heartfeltfancy]

[ O-Oh God vomiting little girl what do what do uhh did she not eat the oatmeal?! ]

A-Ah, wait a minute! Um, s-stop eating, you'll keep...throwing up if you don't eat the oatmeal...

[glitchinprincess]

But oatmeal's disgusting and there's no reason why I should throw up until I eat it!

[She stomps her foot to express her displeasure.]

[prototyper]

[ Well that's a nice thing to see first thing in the morning. Once the smaller girl slumps to the ground, Ayaka makes her way over and bends slightly, so they could make better eye contact. ]

Eating the oatmeal helps. After that, you'll be able to eat your candy.

[ it's still a pretty strange rule. ]

[glitchinprincess]

That's just dumb. Who made up that stupid rule, anyway?

[Have a small grumbling child, Ayaka.]
