The Second Trial [text + video]

[When she awakens, it's to a very unpleasant yet equally forcibly pleasant morning -- which is actually more like in the afternoon.]

[And now she hits the video function where she takes a wave; she was sitting on top of a building. For a while she accidentally has it upside down.]

I wanted to also ask if anyone else has been experiencing "seeing" any weird things. Something like places or objects that are not supposed to be there?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Something familiar to us, rather than to this town, that's not supposed to be here or didn't arrive here with us.

You probably have a better idea of what I'm talking about now.

Slightly. Is there a chance you can tell me what this place or object is without lapsing into a brooding silence or making vague non-answers?

[terezi goes quiet and looks like she's "brooding".

oh wait vague non answer.]

Maybe.

Thanks, I understand everything now.

In all honesty, though, I don't mind showing you. In fact, we could meet up!

Where are you now?

In the gardens. I can go to you if that's more comfortable.

Sounds like an idea!

I'll be waiting at my door, at Greens West, B-five.

See you.

[And she sets off, pronto. It won't be long until Terezi sees Kanaya strolling along.]

Glad you could make it. Alright, here we go!

[terezi then opens the door, stepping right in, and leaving it wide open.

the inside (notably the livingroom) has bits and pieces of LOHAC from it in there. dave's quest bed is actually (in)conveniently located in terezi's room. but they're not in there yet, obviously.

also she'll seem to be quiet once they're both inside.]

[Kanaya closes the door behind her before taking a look around. She's never seen Dave's planet, but it's obvious that certain things do not belong.]

You've made some additions.

[turning around so fast that one might believe she may have nearly snapped her neck; she beams as radiantly as the sun now.

she takes in a deep breath.]

Hehehehehehe! Isn't it great?

I like the red especially, it's absolutely refreshing! It's too bad I'm not the one in charge of these changes.

There would be a rainbow somehow in here if I were!

[recoiling]

Um.

If you say so.

And if you ever need help decorating, I would be happy to come over.

As long as you stop smiling at me like that.

[believe her, she actually is less happy about this than she looks? is?

she may or may not have tried to wipe that kind of grin off her face. but it kind of fails.]

Hahahaha, you're so silly! To be honest, I don't feel like I can, hehehehehe.

Great, then we should get every single best color ever when I do end up decorating!

But I'm not done yet. Come to my room!

[beckoning kanaya to her room now.]

Alright...

[With a bit of trepidation. Common sense tells her not to go into a room with a crazy giggling girl on good faith.]

[terezi opens the door, there's the bed.

she's pretty quiet for a while, and in that intermission, there's voices.

there's voices from the veil, and then the sound of what may or may not be jack's growl.

then terezi begins to laugh. she falls to the ground, laughing loudly, particularly when vriska speaks, and it's hard enough that there are tears.

give her a moment (or not).]

[Uh yeah she's just gonna stare a moment and glance around for those voices. Jack's in particular makes her tense, but her surprise at Vriska's is overwritten by Terezi's sudden hysteria.

She recognizes the stone bed and the small red symbol painted on it, but first, she cautiously approaches Terezi.]

What's so funny?

I found this all hard to not be hilarious! It's not all too bad but it's a grim situation in a different way and sometimes it's easy to laugh at it.

[she looks up with a grin.]

And that's it. The thing they picked could have been worse, but it obviously really wasn't.

I still don't get it, but that's a common theme when it comes to your sense of humor.

[She backs off now that it's apparent Terezi isn't having some kind of fit and gives the stone bed another examination.]

Why is it a human quest bed?

You've got that right!

[the clashing of euphoria against her other feelings is starting to create an unusual straight dichotomous split in her mindset.]

It's a good question. Probably because I know him really well, I guess.

Dave, I mean.

[then she blurts out:]

If it were something having to do with Vriska, I don't know what I would do! No matter what she means by her actions, she can be a bit difficult.

Edited 2012-06-13 08:18 (UTC)

[Kanaya's better humor slips away and she ends up looking halfway uncomfortable instead. She looks back down at Terezi.]

What?

[somewhere at the back of her glee-filled mind she's not sure if she wants to be talking about this. but at the same time, she has been actually wanting to do so.]

You heard me. Well, since the three of us are all here, and the two of us are right here I don't see why we can't talk about her.

Don't tell me it hasn't been on your mind to discuss it at least once! Aren't we all eventually going to end up working together anyway?

There isn't much to discuss.

[Just thinking about Vriska makes her feel a little on edge.]

There's a perfectly anomalous human quest bed right behind you. Why don't we talk about that instead?

I don't understand why we can't talk about Vriska too. I think there's actually a lot...

Maybe something we could find to make it all easier on the three of us!

[she moves to sit right on dave's quest bed.]

You mean Dave's? Which kind of makes me wonder if anyone of his class died right upon here before they reached god tier, if it would actually work.

Hmm. [If there is some kind of mystical answer to that proposition, it isn't coming from Kanaya.]

Successful ascension would rest on the supposition that the conventional mechanics of Sgrub are still in play and applicable to us. Also, that it is indeed a genuine quest structure and not just a big rectangular rock with a red thing painted on it.

But given our current shortage of time players, it's unlikely that an occasion to experiment with the idea will present itself any time soon.

[omg kanaya.]

That's true!

Sometimes it makes me wish we had been a bit more successful in that! But what can you do?

At least one of us was. Which reminds me. I've been thinking about the way she's acting lately. It's hard to have a clear head when speaking to her normally, but it seems to me that she's given us both the same treatment.

How do you remember your last conversation with her at the veil going?
