⑥ | action and video

( locked to Terezi and Merlin! )

[ After all of this goes down, Vriska is high-tailing it out of the Sigyn hospital, Vanitas and Kaz close by, Kakine a little further back, when she sees him.

... John?

He came back?

Vriska stops dead, surprise passing over her expression as her accomplices give her strange looks. But she ignores them, because John smiles and waves, and she can't help her expression softening a little. She lowers her small sack of loot - murmuring something, maybe "you're late, you doofus" - and pauses just one second to spare Vanitas and Kaz a glance, to wave them on without her.

And that's when her eyes go wide. Because John is suddenly very close, so close she can't see his face clearly, but when she manages to look down a fraction, though that silly blue hood is hiding his eyes and most of his face, she can see his smile.

It takes her a moment to realize something has happened. But really, the look on Kaz's face - Vanitas, that cheater, has his mask on - says it for her, and it's as all three boys take off running without a second glance back and John pulls away with a bloody long knife in his hand that a quiet voice in Vriska's mind goes

no.

She's not really too aware of what happens between that moment and the moment she realizes that her face is pressing into the cold ground and there is blue blood everywhere, sticky and already cooling, her sack forgotten, dropped and fallen open two feet away, and she's staring sideways at nothing. John, of course, is gone.

Dying ten feet outside a hospital she just stole from. If she could appreciate irony, she might appreciate that. But she doesn't. She just feels cold.

And it hurts. ]


( open to all! also video. )

[ It's not long later when she's back in the hospital, this time as a patient, and she doesn't much care about how the staff feel about her right now - though it can't be any shade of "good." Her thoughts are dark and her mood is violent.

The knife only just missed her heart. The massive internal bleeding would have killed her if not for some very timely magical intervention. And she is so angry.

The first chance she gets, she's blowing this joint. Which is kind of impossible right now, because SHE IS HANDCUFFED TO HER HOSPITAL BED. THANKS, TEREZI!

With nothing better to do, she does manage to turn the video function of her bracelet on, and she glares at the screen, balefully, pale and weak still and bluh. Gives her handcuffed hand a rough yank while she's at it, but it's kind of half-hearted, and sharp-eyed observers will notice that her wrist is darkly bruised. Seems like she's been at that tugging thing for a while now. ]


Did I miss the memo saying stabbing is a thing today??

[What the hell, Vriska. What are you doing there?]

If there was one, then some of us missed it.

Who was it?

Because having people running around stabbing others is generally a bad thing, Vriska.

[You know, he can do the bitchy thing too.]

[ The oddest thing about the video feed was, well, that it looked painful, in a forced way. In no way was he aware of what went down earlier, everything that took place in which had caused her to grit her teeth so sharply. For someone who was never close to Vriska the Troll in the first place, he feels a slight sense of uncertainty, as if an emotion, like empathy, was getting in the way.

If stabbing is a thing today, run-on sentences and petty teasing sure won't be.

Well... not yet.

Is it.

Stabbing?

[Feferi is obviously at the lake, ignore the tentacles poking up out of the water in the background.]

Are you okay? Who did it?

You're shore? I'd definitely give him a trident to the face!

[Troll caring is stabbing your enemies when you're otherwise occupied?]

[He's still chasing after the group of thieves when he sees one of them break off and attacked by someone who disappears immediately after.

There's a moment of hesitation, then Merlin veers off and heads toward the lone figure rather than following the others.]


Hey! Are you all right??

[After seeing the video, Diva feels conflicted. On one hand, it shouldn't matter, because it's only a girl. She may not be human, but still, caring for her at all, that was weird. But she also can't help it. It's a while after the video, but Diva goes to the hospital with a small gift. She had wanted to see about the small detail for Johan, but now it seemed more appropriate for Vriska. The vibrancy of the blue roses was definitely something.

It takes a while for her to find her, but she finally manages to find the bed where Vriska is. She's at least hoping that Vriska will vaguely recognize this new face, even if it's strange.]


Hey, Vriska?

[And he stares right back until he nods. Riku might not know her well, but there's something in her words that rings with it. It's like suspecting Sora or Kairi of stabbing someone.

Softer;]
Did you provoke him? Or was it just random?

[ They end up in the same location for completely different reasons: Terezi is following the elusive character "Rufio" in order to help solve Tavros' attack, so let's say she is not in the least surprised when she smells a very familiar hint of blueberry in the air.

She stays back for a moment, eyes narrowing behind her glasses when she hears the exclamation. ]
dragonspeak: (Well if you'd listened to me earlier...)

[Merlin kneels down, eyes on her wound.]

No need to get angry at me. [He says dryly.] I'm not the one who did this to you.

[She laughs, but it's not her usual light, airy laugh. It's boyish and androgynous, just like her appearance in general.]

Yeah, it's me. I just woke up with this face this morning.

[Diva walks closer, and her expression softens]

Hey, are you alright, though?
synesthesic: (>:/ yeah whatever)

[personal profile] synesthesic 2012-03-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yes, that is definitely the culprit she suspected. It seems that someone else has already given her what they thought an appropriate punishment for her crimes, but that does not mean that Terezi's job is done. She walks over, finding her place a few feet away and rests her hands on her cane. ]

I'm afraid you can't blame this one on me, Serket.

[Feferi will have to tug on that deflecting string in a second, but the thing in the lake is a pretty good topic for distracting Feferi, so Vriska gets temporary success!]

Gl'bgolyb!

[Feferi casts a fond look back at the tentacles.]

I had to roll her to the lake because she was outside of my window. She's not as big as she was at home, though.

Alright, alright. I get the picture. Just trying to understand why people are getting stabbed all of a sudden and others aren't.

By the way, might want to lay off the tugging for a while, so you don't have on more thing to wait to heal up.
