Homestuck

Staring out the window of the darkened hive I considered it to be depressing. The midnight moon shone overhead casting the dark luminous shadows everywhere, but especially my hive. The room I lived in was larger than my last one, due to days and days of arguing over who had who and who lived where in what.

Out of all the trolls, she had managed to be the only one without a hivemate. Sollux and Feferi had insisted on being together, and this of course caused Eridan to be with them. Even in my own depression, I felt bad for the forever Auspetice's. Terezi, Nepeta, and Jade ended up being together being the strongest trio of Moirails the universe had ever seen. Equius had been with Gamzee but being as Gamzee is, he demanded that Tavros would join them as his unsuspected Matesprite. John and Karkat turned out together, not as Kismesis, but as Matesprite. Obviously you would have to be a moron to not see that one coming. Aradia and Dave were together as Moirails but Dave and Terezi were Matesprites. It felt like every single troll and/or human had at least one quadrant filled up.

That is except her, Vriska Serket. The one pairing that I had not mentioned was Kanaya and Rose. For some reason, one that she would not admit, this had made her quite uncomfortable. Vriska had specifically chosen this hive just to be close to the two and to make sure that they weren't too friendly. From what she heard, their topics mostly consisted of topics she had no capacity for.
I sighed, staring out the window which was a stupid human thing to do but still helped her calm her nerves. Meanwhile I'll just go on Trollian to see if someone's online, that is worth talking to anyway. Vriska had a code not to talk to someone unless there was some sort of future benefit. Or just too plainly get your anger out in Tavros's case.

Viewing the pal list, you see Eridan's online. And once he sees you, there's no getting out of it. Which of course his symbol came up immediately.

Getting off the computer, you wonder who had said those rumors. It certainly wasn't a high blood. They had all learned their lessons, leaving the low bloods. Aradia would never do such a childish thing. Tavros was too wimpy and was too scared to do such a thing, but of course you'll go troll him to get your anger out as you contemplate what's going on. Sollux was like Aradia and couldn't care less. Karkat didn't give a damn. Nepeta was too innocent, Kanaya wouldn't do that because she was in it herself, Leaving Terezi.

I could see Terezi doing this so clearly, she knew how to manipulate minds so well that Vriska herself felt weaker in comparison. But once again no way that she'd think that, let alone anyone else think that either. The rivalry was still strong even though Sgurb was over. She thought of ways to get back at the Seer of Mind and barely noticed that Kanaya had got on. You felt an unwelcome thrill of joy that you couldn't understand. You were mad at this person! Why would you be so damn happy to see her? But you give in as usual deciding to be nice to her for a change.

Vriska couldn't believe it. She had acted totally unlike herself and instead was nice and girly! What the hell was wrong with her? Frustrated she decided to troll Tavros like she had thought before. She couldn't stand the thought of him being happier than her. With Gamzee as a Matesprite and even a fairly decent Moirails too. Ughhhhhhhh 8luh 8luh 8luh...

Vriska fumed walking around the room thinking about the recent events. Tavros was obviously getting too hard to control now. Gamzee and "Rufio" were giving him too much self-confidence. Vriska noted that she'd have to troll him more often in the future. Although she would need to be careful about Gamzee and also Equius if Gamzee's upset about it. She didn't want to do it, but she'd need Karkat's help, not for Tavros but for Kanaya and Rose. She found that no matter what she did or how pissed off she got at others, her thoughts always managed to slip back to Kanaya. And she hated it, but inside she felt abandoned.

AG: Karkat...
AG: It pains me to ask this, 8ut I need your advice. ::::/
[carcinoGeneticist replied to arachnidsGrip at 10:04 pm]
CG: WELL IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME. EVERYBODY HAS ASKED FOR MY ADVICE EXCEPT FOR SOL
CG: BUT THEN AGAIN I THINK HE DID
CG: SO WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND
AG: Wait, even Kanaya?
CG: YES HER TOO AND IT'S KANAYA ON YOUR MIND HMM?
AG: ...yes. Please don't laugh.
CG: OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH IM LAUGHING HERE.
CG: IM LAUGHING SO HARD THAT JOHN THINKS THAT I'M DYING AND HE'S CALLING A FUNERAL PREIST HUMAN GUY. AND HE'S DECIDED TO FUCK HIMSELF NOW THAT IM GONE.
AG: Eeeeeeeew! That's gross Karkat!
CG: FINE THEN TELL ME WHATS WRONG
AG: Well, I don't know what I'm feeling right now. There's 8een rumors about Kanaya, Rose, and I that I just found out a8out tonight.
AG: And Tavros is getting too much self-confidence that I can't troll his ass as well anymore without an occasional death threat.
AG: Not to mention I'm 8eing waaaaaaaay too fucking nice to Kanaya and now I've 8een invited to their hive tomorrow and honestly I'm freaking out.
AG: Please help...
CG: WELL DO YOU THINK THAT YOU AND KANAYA ARE KISMESIS IF YOU'RE BEING NICE TO HER?
AG: No, not really.
CG: DO YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE MOIRAILS. ARE YOU OKAY WITH HER SHARING A HIVE WITH ROSE?
AG: I don't thinks it's just Moirails anymore. And yeah I do feel a little envious of Rose if that helps. I don't see how it does though. Moirails feel the same right?
CG: WELL IT LOOKS LIKE A PALE MATESPRITE BUT WITH ROSE IT WOULD BE A AUSPETICE.
AG: Auspetice! That's stupid Karkat! Why did I even consider your help? You're just making me moooooooore confused!
CG: ARE YOU REALLY JUST CONFUSED? OR ARE YOU JUST IN DENIAL?
AG: Well even if it was a Matesprite it would be paler then pale if that's what you're saying ::::/
CG: OKAY LOOK I GOT TO GO SOON SO I'LL MAKE THIS SIMPLE.
CG: IT'S OBVIOUS YOU HAVE SOME SORT IF MATESPRITE WITH KANAYA WETHER YOU RECOGNIZE IT OR NOT.
CG: BUT I BET YOU'LL SEE IT ONCE YOU GO TO KANS HIVE TOMORROW
CG: SO SEE YOU SPIDERBITCH
AG: yeah whatever, 8ye
[carcinoGeneticist ceased trolling arachnidsGrip at 10:12 pm]

Was it really true? Could she possibly be Matesprites with Kan? Wait she just used a fucking pet name for her! What's going to happen now? You decided not to worry about this till tomorrow. You climb into the soothing slime and try to clear your head.

All you felt was the tingling anticipation of seeing Kan tomorrow...
