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.]

[She crept up and is PEERING.] Oooh I've never seen that kind of paint before!

[And she's zeroed in on the little trolls pictures...and failing to decipher them a little but not going to insult your pictures Terezi :|]

[Terezi turns, looking at the other troll like she's a bit slow.]

It's chalk.

...Chalk? I use paint, but I guess this works!

[...squinting at a green thing at the bottom. Is that her descendant or her lusus...]

[DEFINITELY NEPETA.

And oops is that Karkat or Signless she's drawing now?]

[She peers up at the drawing. NUBBY HORNS? CHECK!] Is that Signless?

[NOOOPE she's adding a cancer symbol and shaking her head.]

No! It's Karkat.

[But she's turning away from the wall now.]

You know Signless?

Yes! [She picks up a red piece of chalk and sketches out Signless in varying degrees of competence]

He was--is my matesprit. Or something like that. You met him?

[She nods.]

In the maze. Who are you?

Disciple. Karkat is his descendant right--oh you look a little familiar...

Then you must be Nepeta's ancestor!

[She grins.]

My ancestor is Neophyte Redglare.

That's what people have told me. I haven't met her yet.

Oh--that's it. Does every troll here have an ancestor?

[Tilting... Her head...]

Every troll has an ancestor.

I don't think I have one. So that's not every troll.

[Well, that part is a bit complicated. She doesn't want to get into it, though.]

Yes, you do. You just don't know who it is.

...

If you say so.

Every troll has an ancestor. What do you think, you just popped into existence?

Not such a literal ancestor.
