Tricksters, Demons, and Trolls, oh-fucking-my.

Chapter 7

Everyone shifted awkwardly as [redacted] glared at them. "Get down stairs. Now," he snarled, and they ran down the stairs, somehow managing not to fall as they got outside and sat in the grass.

Sitting around and soaking up the warmth of the sun, they talked quietly about what they'd seen. "Whatever it was, it didn't seem to want to hurt us," Kanaya said. "But it also talked as if we were just toys; like a child's plaything. They didn't want us to break, but if we do, it's no big deal."

John and Jane nodded. "We're like paper snowflakes." Jane said, and John couldn't help but laugh and make a joke. "Ha! I'm a SEPECIAL Snowflake!" Dave smirked, ruffling his friends hair. "Yea, John. REAL special."

Gage put his hands up to his mouth, making them look like a beak, and snorted. Everyone just stared at him, really confused, but [redacted], who'd been sitting off to the side silently watching, burst out laughed, shaking on the ground. This went on for 15 minutes before he managed to calm down and he sat up, wiping his eyes. "What?" Everyone was staring at him, but Gage only smirked before doing it again. [redacted] lost his shit laughing again, Bree and Haley laughing at the sight.

John laughed, finding this amusing, wile Jane was flopped on the ground, giggling.

Jake smirked, whispering something to Roxy, and the two tackled Dirk, ticking him as the blond laughed, his face turning red. Kanaya smiled, hugging Rose as they shared a book, smiling.

Karkat and Dave were chuckling, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere in the warm sun.

The fun lasted until dark, when the group decided to go inside and flop around the room. Roxy, finally getting [redacted] to tell her where the alcohol was, ran into the room with several bottles. [redacted] glared, and Roxy sighed. "Finnnneee. One bottle per person, people."

Not surprisingly, Roxy finished her bottle first, and after much complaining and small threats (i.e. trying to steal Dirk and Dave's shades), she got everyone to play spin the bottle truth or dare. Roxy spun the bottle, and it landed on Gage as the blond girl smiled widely as he picked dare. "I dare you to put on a dress and makeup." Haley snorted, laughing. "He's already done that for a play." Bree nodded, laughing, as she dug a picture out of Gage's bag.

The curly-haired boy was wearing a white dress, a pink hat, and makeup as he laughed. "I remember that," Haley smiled, taking a sip of her drink before wrinkling her nose, clearly not a big fan of the taste. Gage spun the bottle and landed on Jane.

They continued around the circle, smiling and laughing as they played. As it turned out, Haley was a very, very, VERY light drinker, and passed out after a bit. Bree was out of it a little later, talking to the cats while giggling. Gage was leaning on the wall, hugging his empty bottle.

Dirk and Jake were being extremely clingy to each other, Roxy was a giggling mess alongside Jane. John was flopped on the floor, laughing, while Karkat was still sitting on Dave's lap as they smiled.

Roxy, having finished both her bottle and Haley's, wanted [redacted]'s. he was the only one who hadn't opened his bottle, instead smirking as he watched the group act like idiots.

Rose spun the bottle, her face tinted pink from the affects of alcohol, and it landed on Karkat. She giggled, smiling. "Karkaaaatttt, I dare you to let Davvvveeee touch your hornssss."

Kanaya giggled, hugging Rose close, while Karkat's face went bright red. "Why would I let him-" He was interrupted by the Strider as Dave poked the troll's horns, and Karkat turned into a purring mess right there. After a few moment Karkat found the strength to jerk away from Dave. "What the fuck, man!?" He growled, trying to get away, but Dave just smiled and pulled his boyfriend back, petting his candy corn horns.

It went on like that for a good hour; dares being tossed around, Dave occasionally petting Karkat, Karkat snatching Dave's shades (the human always closed his eyes right away before snatching his glasses back). Eventually everyone passed out around 11 pm, flopped all over the room.

But all good things must come to an end.

They were woken up around 3 the next morning by the sound of someone screaming bloody murder.

===============================================================

Sorry this is so late, everyone! I was staying at a family member's house and their internet is shit. XD

On a much sadder note (at least for me) my family has started fighting again. I don't know how fast i'll update for the next few days or weeks.

Anyway, I hope things are going ok for all of you, and please remember that you can talk to me about anything that might be troubling to you. I might take a while to reply, but I will try to get to you as soon as I can!

Thank you for reading this, and remember, you're never alone.
