Characters: Terezi and you!
Setting: Dormitory hallways
Format: Action to start, but I'll match!
Summary: Clearly the giant, plain white walls of the tower make the best canvas.
Warnings: Nope

[Terezi has made a horrible mess of the hallway. There's multicolored pieces of chalk strewn all over the floor, and smears of chalk covering her hands and clothes and... mouth? But Terezi is intent on the wall, which she's drawn a giant, lopsided dragon on in bright red chalk. She's standing on her tiptoes to add the top of its wing.

Underneath the dragon are smaller pictures: An orange, winged boy that is clearly Davesprite, a similar looking boy in red, most of the trolls in the tower in their corresponding blood colors, and a strange, monstrous thing surrounded by nooses.]

[He can't quite find the correct shade, so he picks up the pink chalk and mimics her with much greater ease.]

[She giggles, leaning forward to sniff his Nepeta.]

Nepeta is a seadweller?

Her and Sollux, yeah. She was next in line for Empress.

Weird!

[It's hard to imagine Nepeta without her cat obsession.]

What about Vriska?

[Locating the crappy orange and doodling her, but he stops half way]

Wait--fuck that's wrong.

[Grabbing yellow to color over her outfit and giving her wings.]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

What is she?

God tier. She's the only one who made it, even if it was a fucking fluke.

[Spinning the brown-orange between his fingers. He sounds a little bitter.

...oh wait he probably shouldn't have mentioned that last part.]

[Huff!]

I know that, stupid. I mean, what's her title? And why was it a fluke?

Knight of Life.

[...does he really have to answer that second question...]

[Poking him! Continue, bro.]

[Pursing his lips casually.]

Because I'm the one who got her there.

Oh.

[Doesn't sound like a fluke to her, exactly, but whatever.]

What is your Vriska like?

Kind of a huge wriggler. Not really anything like your's, honestly.

At least, not that I've seen.

Mine is a huge wriggler, too. Just in a different way.

I'm listening.

[She pauses for a moment, considering, then sighs and plops to the ground.]

We used to be best friends. [Again, she hesitates.] Sisters. We were on a FLARP team together. I helped her feed her lusus.

[He opens his mouth, and then closes it again. No, now was not the time to make this about him.]

So what happened?

We would dismantle FLARP teams to find trolls to feed to her, but Vriska and I made a deal to only kill the evildoers. We were like an amazing, ruthless vigilante duo! But she tricked me and fed everyone to her lusus. And then, in one game, she used her powers to make Tavros jump off a cliff, and paralyzed him.

Ah.

[So not ever telling her how he fed his lusus, got it.]

That's kind of shitty.

[She nods.]

So after that, I made her my responsibility. But Aradia tried to get her back, and Vriska made Sollux eat some of his stupid mind honey and destroy Aradia's hive, and...

[She sighs.]

Then I tried to kill her. She was pathetically easy to manipulate. But it didn't work - she only lost her arm and her vision eightfold. And then she blinded me.

Wow that's....

...nothing at all like what happened to us.

[She flops forward onto her stomach, resting her chin in her hands.]

What happened to you?

Terezi doesn't really talk about how she died. I kind of have a good idea about it, but I don't have proof or details so there's no point in talking about it.

Those two were the only ones really effected by anything before we started the game. Kanaya's always had a fuckton of issues though.

[She tilts her head.]

Because of her blood color?

Yeah. She had the brilliant fucking idea of plastering it everywhere too, so that was another whole production.
