Little Skaia Things (Homestuck)

Author: Ashynarr

Summary: So I promised myself a while back I would write some things for Homestuck, see as it's my other favorite fandom. This is a storage place for all my drabbles for the series and characters.

Disclaimer: Homestuck's not mine.

"Do you ever think it's weird how the game gave us back our planets?"

Rose looked up from her book to Jade, who was busy crafting a functional model of the solar system in the middle of the living room. Out of the appropriate balance of elements, even, according to her insight. "What do you mean?"

"I mean the trolls, obviously! Their solar system was a lot different than ours, so I figured they might get it again with one of the nearby stars, right?" The witch pointed out, using a nail to get the simulated wind of her mock-Jupiter to swirl correctly.

Rose hummed in understanding. "But instead of their own solar system, they took the place of our Mars, is that it?"

"Yeah!" Another tap of her finger created the Red Spot, completing the last detail to Jade's satisfaction. "Which isn't bad, mostly, because we can see each other more often without having to travel too far. But seeing humans and trolls that weren't any of us for the first time in their histories was just…"

"Fascinating."

"You did watch it!" Jade crowed suddenly, white ears fully alert as she twirled on her friend, pointing. "I knew you'd cave eventually!"

"Using Kanaya as a middlewoman to make me watch Star Trek was low," Rose protested, flushing in remembrance of how she'd been convinced by her wife to do so.

"John was so upset he didn't think of it first," The witch of space laughed. "He had this whole prank planned where he'd kidnap you and trap you in a room with a giant cake and five TVs all playing it, and the only way to get out would be to eat the whole cake."

Rose slapped a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing at the absurd image, though it didn't help much. "Sound absolutely devious."

"He'd even recruited Jane and Roxy into helping before I told him," Jade grinned. "You might want to be careful, though; he has a lot of movies he wants to watch again since they're different now."

"Yes, I did get the feeling Sporak in our old universe didn't have horns," The seer of light agreed.

"They managed to keep the ears and blood color, though," Jade pointed out.

"That reminds me, what was he like in the original version?" Rose asked.

"Well, his name was Spock, obviously, and he was a Vulcan from the desert planet Vulcan."

"Creative."

"Hey, we call our planet Earth, that's not creative either," Jade stuck her tongue out before continuing. "And all Vulcans had green sulfur based blood, which I know isn't what the trolls have but I guess we can't have gotten everything the same. Oh, and they were all about logic and controlling emotions because if they didn't they could be a lot more violent because they naturally feel emotions a lot more strongly."

Rose's eyebrow raised as she leaned forward in renewed interest. "Violent?"

The witch shrugged. "Yeah, they were sorta a lot like the Alternian trolls before the equivalent of Vulcan Jesus came along and convinced everyone to convert to Vulcan buddhism."

The seer snorted before she could stop herself at the summary. "You mean their own Signless?"

"...huh, yeah, I guess so." Jade tilted her head back in thought. "Wow, maybe Vulcans are a lot more like trolls than I thought. And I just remembered some Vulcans were really good with touch telepathy."

"Which the trolls also have, though they don't need to touch to do so."

"I guess." She perked up. "The Vulcans were vegetarians! Which I know the trolls aren't."

Rose nodded. "Trolls are also nocturnal for the most part, which I feel wasn't the case before."

"Nope, none of the aliens I remember were that way." Jade hummed in thought, frowning suddenly. "There might have been some, though - I can't remember! Gah, now it's gonna bug me all day!"

The seer hid a smile behind her hands, watching her friend rock on her feet in frustration. Sure, Star Trek had been alright, and the reward for getting through a season had been more than worth it, but the newfound knowledge of how to frustrate her more engaged friends was a bonus she was hoping to milk for decades to come.

AN: Some silly Rose and Jade interactions, once again in a post-Game universe. I have no clue if this is canonical for the two, but I started out talking about space and ended talking about Star Trek, so I haven't completely failed yet. Thoughts? Suggestions?
