it's like i'm looking in the mirror at someone else

Characters: [OU] Vriska Serket and you!
Setting: Around the tower, wherever
Format: Starting with action but I'll match.
Summary: Vriska takes some time to look at her life and look at her choices.
Warnings: None!

[Vriska's taken to a skulking method of wandering around the tower, instead of the confident stride she boasted before Spidermom showed up. Now it feels like she's always hiding and always looking for her next victim, and really, that's what she's doing. Not that she'll ever admit that she's hiding from anything, because she's not! That's absolutely not why she's switched back to her old outfit with her wings always tucked away to keep from leaving trails around the tower that will lead to her. She's just doing a job, a job that no one wants, and that she was guilted into. She's starting to really resent Karkat for this, because it's digging her deeper into a hole that's going to be hard to crawl out of. Not to mention the countless hours she's spending with his lusus, getting used to her like it's her lusus.

She shakes her head, frowning as she continues through the hallways and up the stairs, pointedly avoiding the forest. Her direction has no aim, she's just wandering for the sake of relieving the restlessness that builds on the days between feeding. She'd fed her again yesterday - a troll of all people, her old kismesis at that - so now she had a couple of days of freedom from the task. But it's anything but. It's just another day of checking over her shoulder for anyone who might be watching her actions too closely. Really, she's becoming as paranoid as the other cerulean. This is just getting ridiculous. She feels like she's completely losing control of the situation, and it's driving her crazy.]

Like what? You're going to have to be more specific than that! You probably consider me breathing terrible.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

Of course I do! Too bad I can't make you stop.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

You could but you'd be breaking a promise! Can't do something like that, can you?

[Cocking her head to the side and grinning. It's a bad idea to get into this with Terezi right now, but whatever. She doesn't care.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Her smile falters, just for an instant.]

Right! So I just have to keep tabs on you.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[She catches the change. She's been around Terezi too long to not catch things like that.]

Looks like I hit a sore spot! Suddenly regretting making that promise or what?

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

Nope! You would just come back anyway. It would be a waste of time!

[She just doesn't want to think about Karkat okay.]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

Your face flinched. Deeeeeeeefinitely hit a sore spot.

[Sneering. Not letting this go.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[UGH.]

Who cares?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

You sure are getting defensive! What's the big deal?

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

Because you're being obnoxious about it!

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

Do you have something to hide?? If anyone here is being suspicious, it's you.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Dead-eyeing so hard.]

Why would I have anything to hide?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

You tell me.

[Just smirking.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

Nope! Where are you going?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

I already told you! I'm just walking around. Asking me again isn't going to suddenly change my answer, Pryope.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[She rolls her eyes, putting her hands on her hips.]

Then you won't mind if I join you.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes narrow briefly, and she almost snaps out a no. But that will definitely look suspicious, so she resigns herself to shrugging and turning back around to walk again.]

Do whatever you want, sister! I've got absolutely noooooooothing to hide.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

Of course you don't!

[Totally following. In fact, she's following much more closely than is strictly necessary.]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, she hates Terezi being in her personal space. Her mood is plummeting at a rapid pace.]

I'm flattered you want to be this close to me, Pyrope! Who knew?

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't sell yourself so short, Serket!

[Her voice is pretty much dripping with sarcasm.]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

Funny! Aren't you the one always selling me short?

[Rolling her eyes and picking up her pace a little. LEAVE HER ALONE GOD.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Following!]

I'm the only one allowed to!

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

That doesn't even make sense! You're just a walking contradiction.

[She has no idea where she's going. Time to pick a room at random so Terezi doesn't get suspicious. The entertainment room sounds like a good idea.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

You are just too stupid to understand me.

[PFFFT SHE'S ONTO YOU SERKET.]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

You're just too stupid to make sense.

[FUCK OFF SHE'S GOOD AT THIS. Still heading toward the entertainment room. She has no idea what she'll do when they get there and if Terezi follows that long.]
