#001 [open]

Characters: AU Vriska and the people who meet her (aka open)
Setting: Dorm 1-13 / Cafeteria / Exploring
Format: Starts action, but will follow
Summary: The tower has another new cerulean blood and she's not happy about it. Note: please specify if you're meeting her in/by her dorm, in the cafeteria or roaming the tower (in which case you get to pick where)
Warnings: Rage and swearing. Violence likely if provoked.

Dorm 1-13
[Anyone who happens to be passing - or to be inside - Dorm 1-13 when Vriska awakes will be treated to a loud, angry scream as she waits rather impatiently for the sleep paralysis to wear off. When she can finally move, there's more swearing as she takes in the unflattering outfit she's wearing. Soon, she'll notice the chest and change into something more appropriate. And it's then she notices the collar - in green, of all colours! Feel free to run into her either in the room or just as she's leaving it.]

Cafeteria
[This is actually Vriska's second visit to the cafeteria. Her last visit ended in the need to throw up so she's back, scowling as she eats some oatmeal and periodically tugging at the collar that just refuses to come off. There's no-one else at her table, though, if you dare approach]

Exploring the Tower
[Once fed, Vriska starts to roam the tower, on the hunt for anyone who can explain what's going on - whether this is a ploy to pull the blue-bloods into line or if something more unusual is afoot. She'll be taking in most of the floors at least in passing, her trusty cutlass in hand, so feel free to run into her anywhere]

[Vriska stops walking and turns to look at her]

Twilight Town? What sort of lameass names somewhere Twilight Town?

[She shakes her head and begins to walk again. She has to admit the logic is sound, but that doesn't mean she has to do so out loud]

The sort of fucked-up place where randomly abducting and enslaving rogue violent-bloods would make perfect sense if this seemed like an Alternian hive and you weren't a human. Whatever that actually means.

It's a fitting name, okay...!

[Olette put her hands on her hips and glared, just a little - but unfortunately, she was a little too slow, because she found that she was glaring at Vriska's back. With a small sigh, she started walking.]

... I'm not really sure what a violent-blood or an Alternian hive is, but I'm just going to take that to mean your world isn't very pleasant. [She has to stop herself from asking if it's plagued by the creatures she heard about from Sora, and Kairi, and all the other visitors to her world...]

Sure it is. And I just remembered to never go there.

[Unless they were wrong and they were in Twilight Town, in which case the place could suck it up and accept its lameness.

At the comment on her own world, however, Vriska pauses her stride to glance back]

Well, I suppose that depends on your definition of pleasant.

I don't think any definition of pleasant would apply to a place where randomly abducting and enslaving anyone is normal enough that you'd have thought we were there if I wasn't a human.

I didn't say it was normal. Just that it would make sense. Just one more way for her Imperious Bitchiness to remind us of our place in society.

... "her Imperious Bitchiness"...?

[A world where that was a title for someone who was apparently a ruler didn't sound pleasant, either!]

...either way, um, I guess I wouldn't know because I've never been there but it doesn't really sound very nice.

[She shrugs]

Bitchiness, Luminescence, whatever. Point is, she's been itching for a shot at me for a while now, I just know it, and this seems like her kind of underhanded, round-about way of getting things done.

But again, we come back to there being someone who isn't a troll, a lusus or any kind of creature I've come across before.

...that sounds complicated.

[She was stating the obvious again, but she wasn't really sure what else she could say. Anything else she could think of sounded sort of shallow, considering she really didn't know anything of Vriska's world or backgound...]

...troll? Lusus? ...What kind of creatures have you come across?

[But just because she didn't know, didn't mean she couldn't try to learn.]

All kinds. Though most of them don't really talk, trolls being the obvious exception.

[Obvious to her at least, that being her own species.]

Anyway, it's not really relevant right now because for all we know, we're the only two here and then we're really screwed...unless there's something you're not telling me?

[Sure, accuse the alien creature of being a plant, that's sound logic there]

The "obvious exception"...?

[Olette's voice trails off and she considers what Vriska has said so far. Oh...]

So you're a troll-- huh?

[Her brows furrow a little at Vriska's question.]

I'm just as clueless as you are, here. ..oh, but I never told you my name, did I? I'm Olette.

Duh!

[She rolls her eye, shaking her head a little - like that even needed to be a question]

That's nice. So where do you suggest we start?

[Yeah, Vriska's not one for volunteering information if she doesn't see a purpose]

...

[Sigh.]

You could start by giving me your name! That way I could call you something other than "hey you."

[Sigh. They're wasting time here, but fine, if it'll keep the pink alien happy then she'll play along for now]

Vriska Serket. Now, unless you have an actually helpful suggestion I'm taking us this way.

["This way" being the lift]

...

[Sigh. She was starting to feel like she was talking to a much more ornery Hayner. But, the lift was as good a place to start as any, so she wasn't going to protest, just follow. As she did, though, she made note of the doors they were passing. So many doors... were there people in all of them, just starting to wake up? Or maybe they were all empty... She'd have to check them later.]

If there's an elevator, this place has got to be pretty high up. I wonder exactly how high...

Well there's only one way we're going to find out.

[Vriska calls the elevator, stepping in and hitting a button at random. Her main concern at this point is finding someone who can give her some answers]

You're right about that.

[Into the elevator they go! Olette's a little quiet as the elevator does its job, and she's going over the events of the "day before" as she knows it in her mind, trying to think of what might have caused her to wake up somewhere like this. But no matter what she can come up with, it just doesn't explain Vriska's presence... or the collars, or anything, really.]

[That quiet's fine by Vriska. Once the doors open she walks out, scanning the corridors for any sign of life]

Where the fuck is everyone?

...there were doors upstairs. Maybe they're in there, sleeping. Or... somewhere else, maybe?

[This place is way too big for just two people, so there has to be someone else here, somewhere...]

Well that's just rude! If they're bringing us here unannounced like this the least they could do is show themselves instead of hiding like cowards.

...maybe they brought us here because they're cowards. ...or maybe that's why they brought you here, anyway, 'cause they're scared of you...?

[Vriska did sort of call herself a "violent-blood" before, and she talked about imprisonment... if she was strong, maybe someone was trying to lock her up o keep her out of the way. That didn't explain why Olette was here though...]

[Vriska let out a snort of derision]

Of course they're scared of me. They've been scared of me ever since I surfaced. That's the trouble with having a powerful ancestor I suppose.

[She sounds oddly proud in saying that, all the same]

Anyway, if that were the case that would explain why I found these.

[She throws and catches the bottle of sopor pills she found in her trunk]

...?

[She watches as the bottle is thrown up, then comes to rest in Vriska's hand.]

Some kind of medicine...?

More like poison. They call it medicine because then we'll actually take it but only thing it cures is something that doesn't need curing.
