Setting: Floor 15
Format: Action but I'll match.
Summary: Vriska flips her shit over Terezi and AU Vriska's seeming new friendship. Shit hits the whirling device.
Warnings: Character death, character maiming / broken bones

[Vriska's mind was gone, and the paced the room, waiting. Waiting waiting waiting. Would Terezi even show up? No, that wasn't even an issue. Of course she would show up, Vriska knew her. Knew what would get her attention, knew what would draw her in.

All she needed to do was wait for her arrival. She wasn't sure what she was going to do, she couldn't think straight. She was running on instinct alone. When Terezi arrived, she'd know exactly what to do. She could feel it. But something had to happened. She absolutely would not accept being rejected and replaced by that stupid royalblood with her face.]

[She hardly actually gives a shit about the hemospectrum, but it's a line of reasoning she can get behind without making her look weak.]

Just because our planet's gone doesn't mean we should drop everything we grew up practicing! Jesus, you can't possibly be this stupid, can you?

Her Imperial Condescension is here! Do you really think she'll just let us get away with ignoring the hemospectrum? You sure do have a death wish!

I'm not being stupid. You shouldn't be doing these sort of things when we, um, have to live here. [He mentally winces a bit at the thought of the empress, but--] She's not here right now. Just because we grew up with it doesn't mean that, uh, we have to keep doing it, or anything like that.

Who the hell says we have to live here? As soon as I find a way out of this place, I'm out of this stupid tower.

[Her teeth grind together in irritation. Gotta hold on to this stupid excuse. It's better than the real reason. The feeling of inadequacy burning through her.]

If she found out, we'd all be culled for ignoring it! So no thanks, I don't intend to die today.

Do you? Because we can arrange that right now. You're sassing me even more than Pyrope was.

[He knows that they revive here. Death isn't a permanent thing. But he would still rather not do that. That doesn't mean he'll stand down, though.]

What you are doing is not something good, and shouldn't be done. So I am going to stop you before you can do anything else.

I've heard that one before! You know how it ended? I do.

[She's done talking. She's done trying to rationalize a reason to him that she doesn't even care about. She's done listening to his empty threads.

Always trying to stop her. Always trying to stand up to her when he just doesn't have the strength to do a damn thing. Always a failure.

A failure that would choose her counterpart over her. Her blood boiled and she threw herself at him, grabbing at a horn to throw him towards the wall if she succeeds.]

Just because it ended that way doesn-- [He doesn't get a chance to finish. Vriska's throwing him into the wall. He's no match for her, and he can feel the pain that comes from the impact.

The stick he had with him cracks, too.

So much for that weapon.]

Just as pathetic and useless as I remember! Did it even occur to you to practice to get better if this happened? Or did you just expect me to start sucking worse than you??

[She uses her grip to throw him towards a table next.]

You think you're better than me?? You're not!

[When he crashes into the table, there's a loud crack as his wrist lands at an awkward angle. The pain is sharp-- he can feel it, and he hates it, and why can't he fight her properly. His voice is pretty full of pain-- it's easy enough to hear when he speaks.]

I don't think I'm better than you, but, someone still has to stand up to you, so, I'm going to try.

[She's so disgusted by it. That pain, that weakness. She can't fucking stand it. He's so weak but he still tries to stand up to her? What's the point? There's no respect in it. It's just stupidity.]

And you're going to fail! Just like every other time you've tried. Get it through your thick head, Tavros. You will never measure up to me.

[She advances on him, hand reaching out to grab his hair and slam his head into the table. Hard.]

[He's not going to stand down-- he's not done yet, even if Vriska is getting ready to grab him again. He reaches out (with his good arm, still) and tries to block her arm.]

That won't make me stop trying. Someone has to do it.

[She's almost surprised by it, but her eyes narrow instead and she changes her hands tactic to try slapping him across the face.]

It won't be you.

[That works, and his head snaps to the side.]

You can't, uh, stop me from trying, though.

You want to bet on that?

[She frowns, hand balling into a fist and then she aims for his stomach.]

I think you're forgetting who has all the luck there!

[And that hits, too-- he doesn't react fast enough to block it. It knocks the air out of him, and the only thing he can choke out is--]

--That doesn't matter.

It totally does, dumbass! It means I'm going to win this bet with flying colors. So just shut up already with all of your stupid speeches!

[Go to try to knock him out again. Something in her just doesn't have the heart to grab for one of the sharp tools to end this like she had with Terezi.]

[It works this time-- Vriska manages to knock Tavros out, and things go black.

So he's just going to be here now.]

[Finally she can get out of here. She turns to leave, but not without another interruption.

God damn it.]
