Round 4, Day 2

Characters: Kanaya and YOU
Format: starting [action] will match commenter
This log is: Open!
Location: EVERYWHERE
Summary: ~~I want all the CR~~ Kanaya is looking around
Warnings: None?

[Kanaya is wandering around the school grounds, wearing her new uniform. This place was so different from Alternia, and although she's seen Earth before, it's only been from behind a computer screen. The sun was different here and she wondered if the other trolls would enjoy it's rays. On the other hand, she didn't want them to experience it, that would be taking them away from their important mission.]

[She didn't sleep last night, or even spend last night in her dorm. Instead she spent the night reading the rulebook, it wasn't nearly as wordy as Rose's gameFAQ and she got through it easily. If she could collect 5 weapons she'd win the round, but besides memories and upgrades there didn't seem to be much gained for winning. No discernible way to get back.]

[For now she's just trying to familiar herself with her new surroundings, perhaps collect a few weapons along the way]

[blink, blink. Vriska arrived here yesterday? That means they were together the whole time. It's odd they didn't see each other, there weren't that many people here. The fact they were the only two gray-skinned creatures here should have made her easier to spot.]

No, our arrivals coincided. It is peculiar that we did not see each other. From my investigation we are the only Trolls here currently. The humans' initial reactions to my appearance made that quite obvious from the onset."

[Perhaps it was just the fact that Vriska was more occupied with getting the rules straight than looking for others. Or perhaps she didn't think to look. Or perhaps it was just the fact that it look Vriska longer than the others to get her ass off the tram that really made the difference.

That aside, she leans against the wall next to Kanaya, already making herself comfortable.]

Oh, that's good. Man, I don't know what I would do it I was stuck here having to listen to Tavros stutter about stairs, or roll my eyes at Karkat's perpetual ragesnake being shat. At least here, it'll be relatively quiet... You know, barring this stupid game or whatever!

What are your thoughts on all that nonsense, anyway? You think we really have to give in to all that bullshit?

[Maybe it was better they didn't meet on the first day, Vriska may have scared everyone away and she never would have gotten a weapon. Not that she did without her. But she did meet a few nice people.]

I was informed that killing everyone does not constitute winning. I am currently looking for a weapon to aide me this round, I have been selected as a player. Winning the game also does not contribute any useful information of how to return.

[Bluh bluh, that's loser optimism, Kanaya! If she was an actual player, she'd have as many weapons as she possibly could right now!

With multiple weapons? There would be multiple irons. IN THE FIIIIIIIIRE!]

Who said anything about killing everyone? [Why. Do you suspect her? She's changed why can't you--]

Wait a second. You get to be a player? Over me? How does that happen?

[Welp. Maybe this place knew about her mad bulge-kicking, hoodie-clocking, seadweller slicing action?]

[Hey! Kanaya could be an amazing player. She could brutally harm and kill people without breaking a sweat. You gotta give her more credit than that!]

[Maybe Vriska was rubbing off on her, but the killing thing was one of the first things she asked Sora] As this is a battle game I assumed that it would be to the death. The fact they, whoever they may be, are bringing in more participants help lead to the conclusion which I found out to be false. I am also unaware of the system used to choose a player.

[she pauses, oh god why is she even considering this, this is a dumb idea. Kanaya, you're smarter than this, don't go through with it.]

[Kanaya: go through with your dumb idea]

Are you currently aligned with a player or will you serve as my primary one?

[Oh, she knows this! She knows........]

Yeah, what's the deal with this place and the way it's run, anyway? Last time I checked, this place wasn't anything on Alternia. You know, due to the whole destruction thing and--

[Wait.

Whaaaaaaaat.

Is she seriously.

Vriska: Be flustered.]

Huh? What are you-- Are you asking me if I'll be your weapon? Is that what you're asking? Because if you're asking that........

[SIGH. Vriska they're obviously not on Alternia. Kanaya was like 99.9% sure Alternia wasn't inhabited by pink humans. Obviously they were on Earth. If Kanaya knew the movie The Wizard of Oz, it would have been a good time to quote it. Except she doesn't. And she wouldn't regardless.]

This place resides on Earth, presumably before the destruction though I assume that this is a doomed time line.

[Hope you don't mind Kanaya staring at you. Her question was very straightforward, but maybe she'll dumb it down a bit for you Vriska] My previous question was in fact an inquiry about whether or not you would join me as my weapon. [How cute, they could be in cahoots]

[Gosh, Kanaya! She was being facetious! But then again, you were always the informant to the idiot girl. What a great dynamic they shared!

Looks like this place wasn't any better, was it?]

Great. Earth. Pegged it, seeing how many humans there were lingering every which way. Pretty weird, being the minority here, huh?

[Ack! What're you doing there, fussyfa-- aah, oh.]

Oh, great. I'm not going crazy and I heard you right the first time. You know me, Kanaya. Too wrapped up in my own deal to really hear you out! You know how that is.

[Just like right now? Way to go, Vriska.]

[...You still didn't give her an answer]

You are currently wrapped up in your own deal [to use your words] and have yet to provide me with a straight answer. I understand if you are apprehensive about siding with me and if it suits you I can find a different weapon.

[Here's your chance Vriska, better seize it now.]

[Oh, look how that happened!]

Wh-- Hey wait! I wasn't being apprehensive! I was just trying to get your whole initiative straight!

[And there's a pause. And another shrug. And some blinking. And maybe a wrinkle of her nose. And a glance at Kanaya. And a grin. And then a frown. And...]

Well, I don't want to go up against you or anything! [That shit hurts!] Us trolls have to stick together, and who knows another troll like-- yes-- another troll! I mean, really.

I guess I could probably do you this one favor. I mean, considering how you're just asking for it and all.

[Well, that took a bit longer than expected. Really Vriska, she's the one who is supposed to talk too much.]

[the thing is, I could probably do you this one favor still isn't the same as saying yes]

That is still not a yes Vriska. [she's waiting]

[But her statements tend to be a little overdramaaaaaaaatic when the time comes.

And oh, is it coming. What do? What do, indeed.]

Man, you are one tough customer, fussyfangs! I'll give you that!

[Chuckling... And. Oh. She isn't-- That expression isn't changing.]

[Maybe. If she stares long enough. Vriska will say yes.]

[Kanaya: employ staring tactic]

[And the chuckles slowly die out.

Haha... heh... Hmm.]

[Oh. She's still...

Damn.]

[Oh, seriously? Does she really have to say it? Come on!

Staring........]

[........]

[UGH!]

Okay, okay. Alright. Fine! Fine.

[And there's a breath, and then... Hnnng........]

Yes! Okay? Yes. Oh, how I will be your weapon, Miss Maryam! I will be the best weapon you will ever fucking wield and I will bring you all the riches and whatever the hell serves as sweet loots here.

Ha ha ha, you happy now?

[finally! It took you long enough]
Then I promise to protect and serve you. [Which, admittingly, may be one of the oddest things Kanaya has said to Vriska, but it's part of the rules. She has to say something along those lines to bind the weapon to her]

If we, if I can gather four additional weapons then we, I win the game. [What's with this we stuff? They weren't exactly partners as much as Kanaya had to use her.]

[Yeah, that was pretty-- Yeah. Hmm. Well, okay! Moving on!

Vriska fidgets a little, half expecting some lights or tingling feelings or something flashy to happen, but alas, nothing of great consequence seems to happening! Which is weird, and quite frankly a little disappointing. Maybe this game was all just a big joke!]

Bluh bluh, right right. Big deal! You can totally get all the weapons. All of them. Well, okay, four of them.

Once all the other losers see that you're with me as your primary weapon, they'll just be begging to join our team!

[So long as they recognize that she's the best, that is.] Do we have a team name? We should totally have one! That way, people will know to fear us! I mean, join us. Both things.

[Kanaya was expecting to feel something as well. Maybe some kind of burden on her chest or something to remind her of this pact, but there was nothing really.]

I wonder what winning the round before the round officially ends entails exactly. Does it end and alliances broken, or do they keep going?

Don't you think that since our appearances differ from what is considered normal here that two of us may cause more of a wedge between Trolls and humans?

[Team names? I guess they can't just be the red team or the blue team huh? but this is her team.] Team Kanaya. [So original! ~~So much better than Team Edward or Team Jacob. Sign me up for Team Kanaya~~]

[Vriska seriously thought nothing of it as they went forward with their pact, shrugging it off like nobody's business. So far, all this was just a matter of speaking words and being silly. This place sure was weird!]

I guess we'll find out, won't we? [Vriska straightens her posture, baring her fangs in a confident sneer.] I'll help you-- us-- win this round, don't you worry!

And I wouldn't worry about the humans! They seem perfectly harmless and as friendly as the other ones we started trolling! Which is only good for us!

[And with that, she'll move both hands to her hips and laugh a little.] Team Kanaya it is! It's a little exclusive to what I bring to the table, but-- eh! You're the player here.

[If this were any other time, Kanaya might think twice about the fact she just bound Vriska to her. That would seems oddly red to her!]

I believe that only the Player earns the title of winner. Weapons only aid in the success.

[Kanaya doesn't say much more about the humans. They seemed... 'special' to say the least.]

Is it not my team? Your weapon is rendered useless without my Player status.

[Luckily for you, Vriska's in it for getting this shit done!]

Oh, come on. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be able to win in the first place!

[By extension, we're all winners here! ...There is a very distinct reason Vriska doesn't say this out loud.]

God, someone already has a superiority complex!

I could easily acquire another weapon to serve the same purpose as you are serving now. [Though she knows you and that's makes a difference. In a weird sense Vriska is the only one she knows she can trust, purely for the fact they're both Trolls. Even if trusting Vriska is an absurd idea sometimes.] This is my team.
