Summary; Vriska and Terezi have been walking on passive aggressive eggshells ever since they got back in the City. It's time to vent a little frustration.
Log; [Vriska's still loitering outside of her apartment, leaning against her door and going over the night again in her head. She actually looks extremely content and pleased with everything, and less smug and bitchy like she usually does.

Finally she turns to open her door, before someone catches her eye down the hallway. She pauses, to see who it is.]

Vriska! [and his voice actually rises there, but before she can react he raises a hand and summons some air to throw her off of terezi]

[ which means it's okay for Karkat to pry Sollux off of himself and scurry over Terezi. ]

Pyrope!

[And Sollux is left by the door to their hive, listening with all of his might. He has managed to put a few of the pieces together, and he knows who all is there, but that's about it. He wants to go to Terezi, too, but he's not sure where Vriska is, or what's happening exactly.]

[All of this happens so fast - Vriska being knocked away and Karkat moving to her side - that Terezi almost shoves her matesprit away instinctively. All she can smell is teal and blue, and as she jack knifes up she clutches at Karkat's arm for stability. Her head is pounding and everything hurts.]

[Vriska slides across the floor, dazed and confused about the interruption. She glares around, to find the culprit, and sobers a little when she sees John and the others.

But she's still angry and annoyed. Gripping Terezi's cane tightly before tossing it across the floor to her.]

Uggggggggh. Why did you have to interfere?

You were going to kill her! And that is kind of the last thing you should be doing right now. [honestly, seeing her like that was a little scary...he keeps the pressure of the air to keep her down, or at least slow her movements in case she lunges at terezi again]

Because what we fucking need is more dead trolls, shit head!

[ now that it's not blackrom? yeah, he's pretty livid. god where is Kanaya when you actually need her. either way he's there pretty much for Terezi to hold on to. ]

Come on. That shit needs cleaned pronto.

[Sollux' voice is slow and angry and rumbles a little] Jegus fucking Christ, vk. Haven't you done enough, you psychotic bitch? You really do just want to kill us all, don't you, like tz said?

[Terezi touches the back of her head gingerly, wincing when her fingers come back sticky with blood. She scoffs, just as angry with herself for losing as she is at Vriska for everything.]

You had better keep her away from Dave, John.

If I wanted to kill everyone, you'd already be dead- [No, don't say something like that.

Shit, this isn't how it was supposed to go. There's an overwhelming urge to abscond coming over her, now that the adrenaline of hate has subsided. Her head is pounding and her arm aches and she doesn't want to deal with the consequences.]

I don't want to kill anybody, and I'm not trying to! She keeps saying shit like that, but she's wrong. I'm so sick of it! Not that any of you will even believe me.

[he doesn't like the implications of what terezi tells him, that vriska would hurt dave. but he's willing to believe she's only saying that because she's hurt and angry. he also doesn't really feel like arguing this right now, and he's pretty sure she just screwed up her chances of ever being heard.]

Let's just...go get you cleaned up, okay, Vriska? [he puts a hand on her shoulder, lightly]

[ honestly? Karkat hadn't cared when Vriska murdered Tavros, or heard about it anyway. wouldn't have cared if she had gotten Ampora. it's more or less the fact that it's Terezi. his matesprit. you don't pull shit like this and expect Karkat Vantas to be completely okay with it...

and the other thing is that Karkat is trying so very very hard not to pass out from all the blood. there's an arm around Terezi's back and he's practically hissing at her. actually, he's just going all leader-mode. ]

You're going to explain this shit, but for now shut the fuck up long enough so that we can clean you up. Spouting passive aggressive shit might make things worse.

[ and a glare up at Sollux, who can't see it but... ] That fucking goes for you too, Captor. Your bitchiness on the matter is not fucking warranted or needed.

[ and to Vriska: ] Actually, Serket, I do fucking believe you, but your goddamn sense is fucking lacking at the moment, or did you not notice the fucking mess in the hall like a goddamn culling took place!? Now isn't the fucking time or place for this shit! It's shit like this that got us where we fucking are and I'm not going to fuck around this time and let it goddamn happen! Have I made myself fucking clear to you both!?

[ still all growly growly. ]

John. Get her the fuck out of here and don't you dare let her out of your fucking sight. [ a pause. ]

Now.

[Sollux had just been opening his mouth, a few choice phrases coming to mind like "To think I tried to convince tz not to fucking kill you" and "If you didn't want to kill anyone, why does it smell like blue raspberries everywhere out here", but he closes his mouth as Karkat starts ranting.

Silently, he opens the door to their hive - since it's right under his hand anyway - and pushes it all the way open, holding it so Karkat won't have any difficulty getting Terezi inside]

[Terezi sighs, slipping her arm around Karkat's waste for support and attempting to stand.]

Fine.

[John is treating her like she's some sort of child who wasn't fully aware of her actions, and it is making Terezi sick.]

Whatever.

[A huff of annoyance, and she's turning away to storm into her hive. She doesn't really need help getting around, since she definitely isn't as bad off as Terezi is.]

[glances back at them apologetically, and oh god, this feels like choosing sides but he loves everyone! :(

but he's pretty sure vriska needs him, so. fidgets, and then follows her into her place quietly]

[ but that's not what it is at all and Karkat knows that. besides... john is the one thing vriska won't actually hurt...

so he just moves Terezi into the hive, and onward to get shit put back together. ]
