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

[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?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Bingo.

[Oh-so-dignifiedly pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose and standing with her arms crossed and chest puffed out. It's such a snooty stance that David would be damn proud.]

Y'gotta know there's a lot of strict procedure when it comes to hurling your intestines all over these things; really if this is what you're doing today, you should've filed an audit last month.

[glitchinprincess]

I wasn't here last month. You'll hafta get your audit or whatever from someone else!

[She shoots Jade a cheeky grin]

Who are you really?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Wow rude much? What makes you think my position isn't one hundred percent official? It's my life's work.

[She lowered her ridiculously pompous posture but n o p e she's no gonna stop acting ridiculous sorry.]

[glitchinprincess]

Uh-huh.

Where's your badge then? If you're part of the trashcan police shouldn't you have a badge?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

It's a real covert operation. Not really one for badges in the union and all that, they usually just end up in the dump anyway.

[She thinks she's being really clever, really.]

[glitchinprincess]

...nuh-uuuuuh, that's not true. I have a friend who lives in the dump and he said the only thing he finds there are bricks. And his stump. And sometimes bottles. But not badges.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Wow. Your friend has an even shittier living situation than mine, and he lived on an island in the middle of nowhere with a dog

[Shrugs.] Still, if it's just bricks, that's pretty damn progressive for a dump. Where I come from it's all trash mountains and seagulls.

[glitchinprincess]

Well, there's trash and stuff there too sometimes, I think. I hope. I don't wanna think about how he gets so stinky if there's not any stinky trash there.

What's wrong with islands? Islands aren't bad. And dogs are nice.

...

Usually.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Deserted islands with a jungle in the middle of nowhere aren't really my style. I'm more of a scorching hot rooftop in the middle of summer sort of kid.

Thankfully free of any kind of dumps as long as you stay within the city limits.

[glitchinprincess]

Uuuuuh, maybe it's just me, but neither of those options sound that great.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Nah, they both kind of suck. But hey, beggars can't be choosers.

[She shrugged slightly to go along with that tiny smirk. Though, not like she was really begging to find a place to live in Texas.]

Name's Jade Strider, by the way.

[glitchinprincess]

Vanellope von Schweetz! Are you named Strider 'cause you walk a lot?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Nah, I think it's some kind of ancient ritual name back from the first vestiges of our family.

[Or something.]

But I can do this-- [Activate Strider Flash Step, as in the next instant Jade was standing a few feet off to the side in a blurr of motion.]

Feel free to ignore this super-late tagback D8

[glitchinprincess]

...WHOA!

[Now that? That was cool. Vanellope grins.]

Look, look! I can do something like that too!

[She screws up her face in concentration, and... glitches to appear right next to Jade. Sigh.]

Pretty neat, huh?

WELL THIS ONE IS EVEN LATER, SO

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[She really shouldn't be surprised that someone else can do flashstepesque nonsense, but what she didn't expect was that...weird, blue, blocky thing?? She was obviously taken aback a bit by it, but at least she didn't jump out of her skin for once.]

What the fuck just happened to your face? And your everything? Is that healthy?

LATE TAGGING FTW

[glitchinprincess]

That's my ultra super secret special power! Neat, huh? It doesn't hurt me, but anyone else... pow! Like a sock to the gut!

[Vanellope can you please not lie to people who are bigger and stronger than you]

WOP

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[Well, Jade certainly didn't want to...get...assaulted by weird blue boxes??? OK sure.]

What is it? Are you some kind of science project gone wild?

WOOT WOOT

[glitchinprincess]

I told ya, it's my super secret magic power! Ga-doiii.

[She chuckles, then tilts her head to the side and brings her hand up to her mouth in an exaggerated "I'm thinking" sort of gesture.]

You could say that! Maybe. I can tell ya I'm not what anyone was expectin' ta get when they made me!
