[It is nearing curfew and Nepeta is neither in the training center or in her dorm. She is, in fact, in someone else's dorm.

Nothing strange there, sans for the fact that the owner of said dorm is not there with her. How she managed to get in is anyone's guess, but there is a reason she earned the title of Rogue in the trolls' session of SGRUB.

She had been waiting for Vriska to return for a while now, but it was only in the last ten minutes that she became distracted by a fly. Those buggers had a habit of doing that, and she was now engaged in an unspoken competition with it. Both were perched on the windowsill, she behind Vriska's venus fly trap and eying it beadily.

Neither moved--neither would forfeit this match.]

[Keys jingling in the door, Vriska comes inside and throws her bag off to the side and slams the door shut. Flicking on the lights she pulls her hair out from it's ponytail on top of her head and suddenly stopped.

She was so sure she locked the door before she left.

Crouching down she pulled out her hidden, ornate dagger from her boot, eyes darting around the partially illuminated living room. The sitting area and kitchen were still dark and there was a large shadow by the window, larger than her venus fly trap plant.

Holding the dagger offensively she slowly made her way to the shadow before her eyes adjusted and she stopped. A low growl emitted from the back of her throat.]

Leijon?!

[moirailcompass]

[Surprisingly, Nepeta did not jump. Her ears twitched when she heard Vriska but she did not look at her]

Shhh, I'm winning

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

No- Leijon get out-!

[Stomps over to her.] How did you get in? Why are you in my apartment?!

you didnt see that....

[moirailcompass]

[The fly buzzes away. Aww, Nepeta can't really count that as a victory since it was scared away by Vriska. And she really can't blame it for that.]

[Oh well at least she is paying attention to Vriska now but she remains perched on the windowsill. The first question is ignored (trade serket)]

Well I've been waiting fur you, silly!

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Huffs.] Why???

:((

[moirailcompass]

Well. Um. I was wondering what you do to get to sleep. Do you have some sort of substitute fur sopor slime? [well that was only part of the reason. She really just wanted to be around someone right now.




She's not sure why she picked Vriska.]

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Blinks at her and goes to turn on the rest of the lights.] No. I just got used to it after a while. That and the dreams.

[moirailcompass]

[Used to it. Well she had been used to it before Gamzee...she supposed she would just have to learn to deal. She finally hops down from the sill and follows Vriska.]

So hey if you don't go to classes what exactly do you SeeD people do? You've been out fur a while!

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Sets the dagger on the counter, not facing Nepeta as she talks.] Training, meetings, organizing reports from past missions... Just a lot of menial work, but I blow through it faster. [Because she may... influence some people to help her. Maybe.]

[moirailcompass]

Sounds kinda boring [she wrinkled her nose]

But you get to go on missions right? That means you get to leave this place. What's it like out there?

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Snickers.] It fucking sucks.

[Looks back at her.] Really bright. Is that all you broke into my apartment for?

[moirailcompass]

Well. No. I just inda wanted to spend some time with you. We never really talked much back home and there aren't many of us here so...

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[That makes her pause. But she recovers quickly and looks away.] They have medicine to help you sleep at night. [She took it for a bit when she was first here, but stopped.]

[moirailcompass]

[...that was kind of a cute reaction there, Friska.]

They do? Where can I get it?

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[SHHHHHHHH.]

The infirmary, duh. Have you slept at all yet?

[moirailcompass]

I've tried. I've gotten a teeny bit but I always wake up when things start getting real bad.

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

Well that's just something you'll have to get used to. Not all of us are Vantas and run on almost empty.

[moirailcompass]

[No surprise here that Karkat isn't sleeping either. She curls up on the floor now]

I use to be okay without it. I didn't have a recuperacoon in my cave but the nightmares got worse after everything that happened in the Veil.

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Leans against the counter and stares down at her.] What was the last thing that happened to you?

[moirailcompass]

...I come furrom after Gamzee lost it. He was trying to kill me.

[Funnily it came out a little easier than when she told Karkat. She knew that was mostly attributed to Equius.

Even though they hadn't really talked much, and even though Nepeta was far from getting over everything that had happened (she wondered if she ever really would) it spoke wonders about just what her moirails presence, knowing that he was nearby did for her.]

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

Big surprise there.

[She remembered having an (almost) showdown with Makara and Ampora until Kanaya came in and broke it up. In a few pieces, but still.

Suddenly there is the sound of a cup being knocked over on the counter by a small cat (http://www.gingerbreadtearoom.com/a/cats/kitty6.jpg). Vriska hisses and moves around the counter to catch it.] No! Bad Noodles!

[The cat just stares up at her, head cocked to the side.]

[moirailcompass]

Oh hey! Hi there buddy, I remember you!! Where have you been hiding all this time? [All attention has now been taken away]

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Noodles just meows and falls on its side, limp, when Vriska picks it up. A defensive measure, she was sure.] Probably trying to eat my damn plant again!

You gave me a defective cat, Leijon. I know this. Look! [She holds up poor Noodles, limp and looking oddly at ease in Vriska's hands.]
