#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]

[ceruleanspid8r]

That's not for you to decide. Now, sit. I want to know what you know about this place.

[wwaterboy]

[He wavers for a full thirty seconds. He could just walk away. What's she going to do about it? But in the end he sits down in the seat next to her and glowers at his tray]

It's a towwer full a aliens an monsters, an they do experiments an stuff sometimes.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[The more he wavers, the more she stares at him as though daring him to test her. Because she's not above playing dirty if he steps out of line.

As he sits, however, she relaxes a little]

That's it? Okay. Why?

[wwaterboy]

Wwho the fuck knowws wwhy. [He picks up his fork and starts to eat] They're assholes, I guess.

[ceruleanspid8r]

And who is this mysterious they? You seem to think this isn't to do with her so who do we have to thank for this?

[wwaterboy]

I don't knoww wwho they are. The people wwho run the towwer.

... By her you're meanin' Her Luminescence? She's not here. But the Condesce is here, an also a wwiggler wwho looks exactly like the Luminesce only she thinks she's a lowwblood.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[She frowns at that]

Well that's just...weird. Did I bump my head and fall into Opposite World or something?

[wwaterboy]

If you did, so did I. [Sidelong glance. Well, she hasn't groped him so far or done anything really horrible, so maybe she's not that bad for a blueblood] They'vve got it the right wway around so far as I'm concerned.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Vriska might have been playing relatively nice so far but she can't help but sneer at that last comment]

You would think that. Must be quite the giddy thrill for you, to go from being nothing to being treated like you own society.

[wwaterboy]

[He sneers back] One wwould think you'd be interested in bein' elevvated, yourself, instead a complainin' about me. Anywway, people don't treat me that great. But at least I don't get fuckin' ordered around by evveryone.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[More eye-rolling]

Wow, yes. How could I fail to see the massive difference an inverted hemospectrum makes to me? How could I possibly resist the joy of knowing that instead of being highest of the low, I'm lowest of the high? That's just going to make such the impact on how I go about my life.

[Hope you enjoy sarcasm, Eridan!]

[wwaterboy]

Seems like a pretty big difference to me. You'd be like a goldblood, instead a musclebeast flotsam. [He can roll his eyes, too]

[ceruleanspid8r]

The only difference it would make doesn't even matter any more. I've made my position work for me; why would I want to throw all that away now? And I already was proud of being a blue, before you bring that one up.

[wwaterboy]

[He frowns a bit and sideeyes her] Wwhat position?

[ceruleanspid8r]

My place on the hemospectrum? If it doesn't bother the Grand Premier then why should I be ashamed?

[wwaterboy]

...you knoww the Grand Premier? Personally?

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Don't mind her, looking all smug-like here]

Duh! He's only my best friend.

[wwaterboy]

[And his eyes widen with shock] You're that blue blood?

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Oh this should be good. She leans in a little]

You're going to have to expand on that a little for me. What do you mean, I'm that blue blood?

[Of course she's got a reputation and she knows it but she wants to hear his take on it first]

[wwaterboy]

[He leans away a bit] I heard some feral blue blood goes in an out a the palace and pails the Grand Premier.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[Oh that is too much. Excuse her while she dissolves into fits of laughter and has to struggle to speak for how hilarious she finds that]

Is that seriously what people think? Oh my god! As if I'd pail with Tavros, that's just too much!

[Which is kind of a lie because yes she would if she wasn't so stubborn about not repeating the mistakes of her ancestor]

[wwaterboy]

I don't knoww! That's just the rumour I heard. Obvviously it's exaggerated. Wwhy wwouldn't you pail him?

[ceruleanspid8r]

Obviously people have got too much time on their hands if that's what they're coming up with. Did you hear it from a green? I bet it was a green. Disgusting gossipers the lot of them.

Anyway, I don't see how that's any of your business.

[wwaterboy]

I don't knoww. It wwasn't any one person, it wwas a rumour I heard from a lot a sources, though none a them wwere reliable. I'm an Agent, you knoww. [This last is said with pride] Any kind a information is my fuckin' business.

[ceruleanspid8r]

[She's impressed. Really. Just ignore that lack of any sign that she cares in her expression]

Okay, I'm going to assume you think you're entitled to that information only because the Grand Premier is involved because the alternative is that you're a creep who cares way too much for idle gossip and using your Agent status to try and cover your tracks.
