When; Shortly after this! Late night, Monday.
Rating; PG-13? There will be violence and language.
Characters; 4llth3jus1c3, craaaaaaaazy8s, eventually uhhok, trollsbackwards, and possible thekidsare0kay, derse_princess THE ENTIRE HOMESTUCK CAST IF THEY WANT?
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.]

What the fuck have I been saying about her this entire time?

[ because he has. repeatedly. ]

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[Terezi rubs her face, letting out a sigh. Her head is pounding so badly.]

I'm sorry.

[thekidsare0kay]

What are you apologizing for? Protecting your moirail? [He gropes around and finds her knee and squeezes it]

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

For being stupid. What the fuck were you thinking, going against her like that? Moirail or not, she's fucking godteir.

[ some worry might be leaking through. ]

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[Terezi takes Sollux's hand and squeezes tight.]

I wasn't thinking. I shouldn't have let her get to me.

[thekidsare0kay]

[Okay, Karkat has a point, but Sollux squeezes Terezi's hand]

Well, that's true. Even if you'd killed her, it probably wouldn't have been just.

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

And who knows what the City rules on that shit would be...

[ almost done here, but he's still all huffy huffy. ]

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[She bites her lip.]

I don't want to kill her.

[thekidsare0kay]

[Quietly] I know.

[With his other hand, he reaches out to rub Karkat's back a little] You staying with us, kk?

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ yes, he is staying with them here. sort of. this is one huge flashback for him and not one that he particularly likes. his matesprit is over here bleeding ( well not so much now, but still ) and there's another fucking troll that got too fucking carried away. ]

Holy shit. What is this, a fucking pity party?

[ which means he's getting a little defensive. ]

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[HUFF.]

No.

[She scrubs her face with her free hand again.]

Ugggh, this is so stupid.

[thekidsare0kay]

[Ugh, fine. Sollux drops his hand and gets up, grabbing another cloth and wetting it in the sink]

Do we need to do something? I mean, is vk serious about hurting ck, you think? Or is this just a bit of stupid posturing that got out of hand?

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ a shrug from a Karkat. now that he wasn't like suffocating under all these FEELINGS ]

Of course it has to be taken seriously.

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Karkat, but Terezi is not done with FEELINGS. She loops her arms around him and rests her head on his shoulder.]

She might not be completely serious now, but if he antagonizes her, she will be.

[thekidsare0kay]

[He comes back slowly and sits next to her, sniffing for signs of more blood and feeling with his fingers for any other cuts]

So either we do kill her, or we ask ck to pretty please not antagonize a troll, which is pretty much like asking the moons not to rise. [He holds up a hand] I'm not saying we need to kill vk. I don't want to do that. I just don't think we can give her another fucking free pass to do whatever shit she wants to do, and we all tiptoe around her like Tavros, scared to she'll go shithive maggots if we look at her wrong.

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ he's blushing furiously, finally just giving in and holding her. Captor's presence be damned. he can't exactly see this shit anyway. ]

Strider not pissing off a troll is like John actually finding the globes to fucking hate someone. It's not happening. But we can't let her keep doing shit like this, either.

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[She tightens her grip, fingers clutching at the back of his shirt almost desperately. She is so, so exhausted.]

What do you suggest, fearless leader?

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux nods, wiping a little bit of blood out of the back of Terezi's hair with the towel. He's well aware that they're hugging, and can smell Karkat's blush, but he doesn't care.]

Yeah, what are we going to do, kk?

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

John. That's all I can really think of since everything else is pretty much fucking useless.

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

John is the only one she will listen to at this point.

[It's almost humiliating to admit that Vriska is completely out of Terezi's control at this point.]

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah. [Humiliating for Terezi or not, it's the truth] eg is our only hope now, I think.

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ he groans. this isn't going to be a fun conversation. ]

Hopefully the dipshit will see reason.

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

I'll go with you.

[She says it a little too quickly, obviously desperate to fix this ridiculous situation any way that she can.]

[thekidsare0kay]

Uh, I guess I'll stay here.

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

What?

[ that is Karkat throwing a glance to Sollux. ]

You cluckbeast shit?
