#in which the drill is a dysfunctional artifact that should be retired

[gulescamisade]

TEREZI: -She doesn't really know what to do with herself now that Sirius has taken the long nap before emerging into a beautiful grubterfly, so Terezi was aimlessly wandering the new ship, not having a specific destination in mind. She came across one of the common rooms and poked her head inside to check for any other visitors.-

HIGHBLOOD: *He had been waiting as well, partly waiting things out as well as waiting for Rhodri to get better though a good bit of him had half a mind to put him right back into the infirmary*

HIGHBLOOD: *So he sits and waits and lounges rather openly, stretching his limbs and fiddling with the vending machine*

TEREZI: -afldj;asldjfk;ajfas!! She has full intention of turning around and walking the heckies outta there, but 1. he'd already probably heard her tromping and 2. in extension, her absconding would be super rude. So against her better judgment, she walks through the threshold like oh fancy smelling you here.-

HIGHBLOOD: *He doesn't pay any mind to her being there, the old troll has a good sense of who is and isn't around him at this point of his existence and makes a small grunt at her being there only to lean under his outstretched arm and make eye-contact with the little teal before nodding* sister

TEREZI: -jumps but only inside her brain. She managed to steel herself and give him a courteous nod.- H1GHBLOOD

HIGHBLOOD: doin your daily wander a brother can gather up?

HIGHBLOOD: motherfuckers all shook up and hidin away

HIGHBLOOD: caught in blocks, withdrawn from the dangers of out there while others work to forget *looks to her longer then turns back to the vending machine*

TEREZI: -shivers; well, at least he hasn't honked at her yet. She takes steps to one of the other lil vending machines in the block, squinting at the contents-

TEREZI: H4RD TO FORG3T 4BOUT WH4TS GO1NG ON 'OUT TH3R3' 4S W3LL 4S TH3 SWORD D4NGL1NG OV3R OUR H34DS BY 4 STR4ND OF H41R

HIGHBLOOD: *all looks well in there, nothing suspicious at all*

HIGHBLOOD: hard, but try anyhow

TEREZI: SUCH 1T 1S -she replies with a tiny shrug of her shoulders-

TEREZI: -she decides to get a gachapon for the hell of it.-

HIGHBLOOD: *the machine takes her money  and the highblood goes back to work only glancing her way when a gloved hand on a spring goes for the pie at Terezi's face out of the vending slot*

TEREZI: -gets freakin CREAMED and lets out the tiniest of SHRIEKS! She stumbled backwards and only succeeded in the movement of falling right on her rump. The word- FUCK! -reverberates through the halls-

TEREZI: -She's trying to claw that stuff out of her nose because she cant SEE.-

HIGHBLOOD: *small snort* gotta keep on your toes sis

TEREZI: -slightly strained- H4H4 YOU GOT M3!

TEREZI: -she does a slow rise to her feet, pie all over her front and recovering from a mini heart attack. She eventually regained enough composure to flick out her tongue out the side of her mouth. after a couple seconds, she nodded-

TEREZI: NOT B4D

HIGHBLOOD: i ain't a motherfucker who appreciates falsities

HIGHBLOOD: *steps back from the other machine to look over his work* though i'm from some other age of mindsets

HIGHBLOOD: brothers and sisters be some kinda tiptoed

TEREZI: -hhhhh he's coming closer. but she raises an eyebrow (if he can even see it) and dares herself to stay instead of getting tfo- TH3 T4ST3

HIGHBLOOD: not so much of a baker but my supplier would take that compliment well

HIGHBLOOD: either of them would *he has so many pies*

TEREZI: TH4TS V3RY GOOD FOR H1M TH3N -she used a hand to wipe the rest of the cream off of her face and onto...her shirt, she supposed. It was already pie-fied.-

HIGHBLOOD: not all habits are bad, this is one of em that so happens to be oh so motherfuckin good

HIGHBLOOD: *smiles in her direction* you get used to it and better to it as times pass, sister red knows that much

TEREZI: OH -her voices quakes for a fraction of a second there- JOY

TEREZI: -she does frown a moment as she places her glasses back on her face, still a little cream-smeared.- TH1S S1ST3R R3D OF YOURS MUST H4V3 4N 3V3RL4ST1NG SUPPLY OF P4T13NC3

HIGHBLOOD: that assumption would be rightfully positive

HIGHBLOOD: *watches her then moves across the room* sister red is many things patient and friendly only some of her better features

TEREZI: -meanwhile Terezi checks to see if a gachapon toy even came out of the machine. She feels she rightly deserves one now. And since she comes up to GHB's lower abdominal region, he's no less taller ten feet away than he is standing right in front of her.-

TEREZI: ....YOU 4R3 NOT SP34K1NG OF TH3 H4NDM41D, 4R3 YOU?

HIGHBLOOD: *This is why he wears his symbol on his crotch, easier for the small people to see, or sniff. You're welcome. He's being so height conscientious. Sadly the toy didn't come out of the machine though*

HIGHBLOOD: nah, she too bratty for my tastes

HIGHBLOOD: her former matesprit and current wrigglersitter is who i'm talkin about

HIGHBLOOD: redglare

TEREZI: -Well that's a load of bullcrap! She wants her caegar back!! and then she proceeds to choke on her own spit because Redglare was just about the last person she would have guessed. but it made freakin sense due to the proximity legislacerators and subjugglators worked. Frickle.-

TEREZI: -she pauses for a second, trying to decipher the clown talk, because had she not, Terezi would have understood less than half of that and to claim any more would be a lie. And even then she was unsure if she understood fully. Dang, is that a chill going up her back at that smile? No? Just the ventilation, then? Good.-

HIGHBLOOD: *Everyone is small to him, but she's also the tiniest teal, that's just facts*

HIGHBLOOD: *stands finally and stretches out his limbs* and so with it you do find your answer *heads for the hallways* oh

TEREZI: -She's grateful she's not chucklevoodoo'ed into a drooling pile, so Terezi simply nods with a- TH4T 1 W1LL, ON BOTH COUNTS -and her eyes follow him out the room, not yet comfortable with turning her back to him just yet. She also picks up the pan and pulls out a fork. It'd be shame to let such good pie go to waste.-
