[Seconds later Terezi activates the mic, opening the feed up to a string of loud, hysterical cackling. This goes on for maybe a second or four longer than is comfortable, and then the laughter subsides.]

Impressive! I'm going to have to step up my game if I'm going to knock the feathers off your cute little wings with my artistic prowess.

youre gonna have to do better than just stepping it up
try levitating a few hundred feet and maybe then well talk about the feathers on my cute little wings
you challenged a goddamn master of the compression arts and i give no quarter

[This is officially an emergency. So, Terezi does what any sane person would do, and makes a cryptic post reading only, "YOUR3 ON" before walking all the way to Freyja district so she can climb into the window of Nepeta's block and hunt down her chalk. She'll give it back later.

At least an hour later, the video feed clicks on, revealing a blurry image in motion. A few seconds of viewing displays branches, leaves, and a distinct sense of altitude as Terezi climbs. It continues, her going up and up through the branches, the feed catching shots of the sky and her hands and shoulders, sometimes the side of her face and her hair. Finally she steadies, parks herself on a branch, and directs the bracelet's camera at what appears to be a slab of junk that has been nailed to the tree trunk at a previous time. Positioning herself before this, Terezi proceeds to craft the following picture:

Once she's completed it, she scoots away from the fantastical creation and angles her wrist to show her surroundings, namely how high up she is.]

How's that for a few hundred feet, sprite boy? [She cackles and the feed goes dead, cutting her off mid-laugh.]

[There's no response, at least not at first. But the next morning, barely after sunrise, the video feed clicks on.]

[It's taken from significantly higher than the rooftops below. But just how Davesprite got that high—the buildings are already amongst the tallest in the city—is a mystery. ~~Bullshit, he's in a tree.~~ And...where he found a canister of orange spray paint is also a mystery.

The feed lasts for only a minute or two, long enough to fully convey the beauty of his creation, before it pans from the roof to the sky. It accidentally fixes there for a few seconds because, whoops, he misses flying. Then it clicks off.]

[She is impressed. And also lost in thought as to how she's going to top this. She doesn't have materials to rival this, nor does she have knowledge of the city, but Terezi has a brain full of needles and cleverness and that's almost as good. It takes her a long while before she responds, probably long enough that it seems she's been defeated. Far from it. Hehehe.

When she posts, there'll be a set of vague bits of information:

- [A picture of the Loki house, and then another of a grainy waste receptacle. If one were to hypothetically travel to the welcome hall in Loki district and find said waste receptacle, underneath it they would find a page of newspaper with a particularly shitty comic on it.]

- 203 S, 97 W, 342 NW. [The numbers given are the exact numbers of Terezi-imitating-Dave's-footsteps (as a unit of measurement) to a rickety looking alley. There'll be a notch in the bricks of one of the walls, with a tightly rolled piece of paper sticking out of it.]

- [The aforementioned alley having led into Hel district, the next picture is of the inside of the Dark Carnival. No need to enter the carnival itself, because a conveniently shitty comic has been nailed to the tree closest to the entrance.]

- [A picture of the map they were all presented with at their arrival, with a small addition: a red X right over the wall, a ways away from the carnival. If someone perchance went to this approximate area of the wall, they'd find an arrow drawn on the city wall, pointing up. Of course, climbing the wall would be incredibly difficult, but a tree a few meters away rises imposingly beside it. Climbing the tree up and following one of the branches outward will bring into sight yet another shitty comic, held under a rock on the top of the wall.]

- [The final picture is of the closed southeast gate, which can easily be reached simply by following the wall. It's a trick, though! If one reaches the gate and looked around, they would find a note nailed into the wall reading:
H3H3H3 OOPS! TOO F4R >;]
GO W3ST-1SH 4ND K33P YOUR 3Y3S P33L3D

Following the instructions will eventually lead anyone crazy enough to follow this crazy set of clues to a circle of trees that have been punctuated with junk everywhere, random bits of shiny shit nailed or hung from branches, and various ripped and discarded stuffed animals laying about. In the approximate center of this area is a final comic, held to the ground by one half of Terezi's cane, the sword piercing through its center.]

H4PPY HUNT1NG >:]

[When he finally sits down and opens the message, it takes him a few seconds to figure out what he's reading.

Then he's perplexed. Are you fucking kidding? She's trying to set him up on a scavenger hunt?

He's judging real Dave so hard if he sinks to this.]

for real

besides shouldnt you have dave lined up for interrogation instead

[To his credit, Davesprite is right to be wary of Terezi. She takes note of his prissy comments and filters them away for processing, disguising her inane shenanigans as nothing more than. He tries to make it hard for her, but as she's said before: the more people try to hide, the more they end up revealing!]
