vatheon | A long awaited meeting

Who: Kanaya Maryam and Vriska Serket (

f8tal)
Where: The Plaza
When: Sunday of the thought bubble curse, around noon.
Style: Whatever
Status: Closed, but it's a public location. If you really want in, just ask one of us.

Kanaya was NOT looking forward to this. She wasn't really looking forward to this even before this curse started. She needed to talk with Vriska though, to try and get things out in the open. The hard part was, Kanaya wasn't really sure just what it was she needed to get out. She used to have a crush, hell, she used to LOVE Vriska... and she had her heart broken for it. A lot had happened since then too, and Kanaya never really had time to come to terms with any of it. Just before it looked like the excitement was finally over and she would have time to relax, Kanaya found herself here in this strange place.

It was bad enough seeing her up on the island. Now they were meeting on purpose. And now this curse has kicked in. At least she got the chance to try and get some measure of control over it, experimenting with Zelda this morning. And maybe this would give her a little more chance to be able to trust what Vriska says.

The rainbow drinker arrived in the Plaza precisely at the stroke of Noon.

Yes. I did not realize that until just now. If I never wanted to be your moirail it wasn't... It wasn't because I didn't care.

[Try as she might Kanaya was still having troubles distancing herself from what had happened. From what will happen. She looked this Vriska in the face, right in the eyes, and could only think about what was going to happen the moment this strange place decided to send her back. The Hero of light colored clothing starts to turn green as the blue background bleeds through, until the outfits are lost entirely behind the blood. Kanaya turned away from Vriska then, looking up at the shimmering wall of the bubble above them.]

I'm sorry too.

[As she started to turn away-] Are you leaving?

[ Kanaya turned back with an utterly blank look on her face. Her thought bubble was likewise under control, maintaining that image of blue. For some reason Kanaya was focusing on that blood a little more than she thought she would, but it kept the bubble clear better than the clothing did.]

I don't know. I think I might need some time to think about this. I've felt flushed for you for a little too long Vriska. Even though I still pity you, maybe now more than ever, I...

I don't know what I want. Do you?

No- I mean, I don't know! [She was floundering.]

I didn't know any of this! [She grits her teeth and looks away.]

I know... I've been a bad moirail. I fuck up a lot of things and a lot of things really are my fault and some of those things I feel... bad about, but-

[The words felt like broken glass in her throat.] You're the only one that's stuck with me all this time and I... I appreciate that, okay? I give a damn about you! And I just...

[She swallowed and folded her arms under her chest.] ... I know I don't want to lose you. [Whatever compelled her to speak out the honest to God truth she didn't know. She was vulnerable and open and ready to be stabbed and slashed and hurt over and over for letting herself be stupidly weak and honest because that was what she deserved now. Good job, idiot.]

[Kanaya's thought bubble pops in a puff of smoke, rendering no image whatsoever. She stared at Vriska, listening to her admissions. As Vriska finishes there is an uncomfortably long moment of silence, after which Kanaya's though bubble finally reforms, again showing nothing but blood.]

Alright. I meant what I said about needing some time to think about this, but I think maybe we both do.

[Kanaya could tell she was hurting. She just admitted that she needed someone else, that she cared about someone other than herself, and some small part of Kanaya couldn't help but feel a bit satisfied that she had driven her that far. Something about that broken look, that moment of helplessness, that feel that she needed Kanaya... just seemed all too attractive right now. But the honesty... that seemed like the biggest victory. The blue faded from the thought bubble for just a moment before Kanaya caught herself and refocused on the blood. ]

I can promise at least that I will continue to be... your friend.

[ Kanaya continued to focus on the blood but couldn't seem to think about anything else for a moment. She blinked, and looked at Vriska again. She looked over her, at her eyes, her fangs, the slope of the neck...

An image formed in the bubble. It was hazy, still covered in part by the blue, as the blood filtered the image. Kanaya, dressed elegantly. Vriska, standing in front of her. Kanaya could feel more than the bubble displayed, but she had lost herself to this image, this drive. She could feel a need, a desire burning away... and the bubble showed Kanaya closing with Vriska, taking her in a tight embrace. The figures in the bubble kiss, a short, momentary thing, before the rainbow drinker moved to the blueblood's throat. It's right there, the cerulean currents carried to the brain through major arteries... The bubble showed the glowing figure kiss Vriska's neck...]

[ Kanaya let out a short sharp gasp, and regained her poise, mentally driving the images out of the bubble, and going back to focusing on clothing.]

I. Uhm. I should be going, I'm sorry.

[ She turned away quickly, as much to get away as to hide the blush on her face ]

[Somehow she was caught up in the motion picture of Kanaya's bubble, goosebumps running along her skin and especially her neck. Her ears and cheeks burned blue when the movie stopped and the poor glowing troll caught herself.]

Alright... [Stupid stupid. Could she have sounded any more like an idiot? But... she watches her scurry away and she doesn't bother to run after her.]

Oh no. oh no oh no oh NO... What... WAS that.

[Her face was burning as she ran off. She was embarrassed enough from having to admit her feelings like that, when she could swear that Vriska must have known this whole time. But that was... unexpected. She didn't want to think about Vriska's death... but it was so easy to focus on the blood and then... She couldn't really control her little fantasy at all. Oh no. Vriska probably thought it was some erotic daydream. This was a DISASTER. If not for the embarrassment though, she might not of had the control to stop herself from... well.]
