#001 [open]

[ceruleanspid8r]

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]

Comments

[ceruleanspid8r]

Oh, good. More pink-skinned aliens I've never heard of.

[She already sounds bored. Similar enough that she doesn't have to worry too much about them or really care]

Little while ago. If you're the welcoming committee you're a little late.

[ocariness]

[ Absent shrug! Link's heard it plenty enough by now; no one really knows about their people. ]

Am I? Should I have prepared a celebration for the occasion, in that case? If that's true, then you have my very belated apologies, I'll make sure to be on time in the future.

[ ... Heh the Hero of Time being late that's kind of funny, actually, Link is rather amused. ]

[ceruleanspid8r]

How should I know? Not like I know how things are done around this stupid place. Though if you wanted to throw a celebration I wouldn't blame you - I am a pretty big deal.

[At least in her own mind]

[ocariness]

They are generally not done by us if at all, as unfortunate as it may seem.

[ Yeah, this girl is definitely one of those I AM SO AWESOME types. Reminds Link of Mido, really. ]

As we don't have much freedom in this place, no matter how important you might be. It is also rather more dangerous than it appears.

[ceruleanspid8r]

Then who are they done by?

[She shrugs at the dangerous comment]

I think I can handle a little danger.

[ocariness]

[ Mirthlessly: ]

Our so-called "saviors".

[ Well, she DOES have a sword. Link won't question Vriska there. After all, if she says she can handle it, then she can. ]

[ceruleanspid8r]

Saviors? Saviors from what?

[Guess who didn't bother reading the note yet]

[ocariness]

[ ............. VRISKA PLS. ]

You didn't bother to read the letter given to you in your room, I assume.

[ceruleanspid8r]

Was a little bit distracted to worry about reading stupid notes. Probably wouldn't tell me anything I can't figure out on my own anyway.

[Plus, her room-mate waking up shortly after her was a distraction]

[ocariness]

[ Oh okay fine. Link has a large inventory habit of stock-piling anything even remotely important, so have their instruction note about check-ups and whatnot, Vriska. Since. This avoids talking yay. ]

They're claiming they saved you from wherever you were becoming destroyed.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Vriska skim-reads the note, not really taking much of it in except that at least that explained the collars and at least there didn't seem to be any sort of status basis about the colours.]

Kind of them. What happens at these check-ups?

[ocariness]

[ WOW this is a vaguely uncomfortable topic, but Link may as well. ]

... They drain whatever liquid is in them out of the collars and replace it. Trying to fight them doesn't do much good.

[ Not even sure what the heck these collars are for, but there are quite a few... guesses, and none of them were anything less than disconcerting. ]

[ceruleanspid8r]

Is that it? Just switching out the liquid from these things?

[That sounds suspiciously easy. Obviously there's more to it than than.]
