New Life: a Homestuck AU fanfic.
There’s a young girl sleeping in her bed.
Well, she’s not precisely a girl; At least not a /human/ girl… unless human girls have gray skin and candycorn colored horns. She is a troll, and her name is Vriska Serket.
Suddenly, her hand shoots upwards, grabbing for something that evidentially isn’t there. She sits, gasping for air, but suddenly realizing that she isn’t in her recuperacoon, or in her respiteblock, for that matter. She sighs and falls back to the bed. Of course, she has been forgetting she no longer resides in her hive, in Alternia. Not since her friends and allies rebooted that fucking game… she gave a deep inhale, and her sight drifted to the window. Her eyes widened slightly. It was already late and that fuckass hadn’t woke her up when he left for work!...
Maybe this would be a good time to say that when they reinitiated the damned game, instead of returning to Alternia, like her human friends had returned to their earth, she and her eleven ´buddies´ were sent to the earth planet with the humans, and they had taken the responsibility of giving the twelve trolls hosting, and keeping them hidden from other humans.
Vriska´s Point Of View~
The Scorpio troll grumbled profanities under her breath, getting up. She assumed she had to be growing accustomed to sleeping without sopor slime, because she hadn’t woke up with John´s alarm clock, or with Karkat´s screaming. As it was logical, one human couldn’t host all the twelve trolls, so each player was hosting three trolls. John was hosting her, Karkat and Gamzee. She wasn’t all okay with staying with them, but John was the only one who would take Karkat´s bullshit, and Gamzee had to stay where Karkat, as a precaution, known the highblood´s aggressive tendencies. Of course, she could have chosen to stay with Rose or with Jade, maybe even with Dave, but – although she wouldn’t admit it- she wanted to stay with John.
Vriska got up, stretching her hand towards the nightstand, were her glasses laid, and put them on, walking to the door of the room. She was sure John gave her the biggest room on purpose. She peeked out to the hallway. It was empty, and the house was silent. She stepped out. The room next to hers was where Karkat was staying. She peeked through the door, that was slightly ajar. The room was empty. Karkat and John had left to work for sure. She cursed under her breath. Why did she had to have her big horns?! Karkat´s nubby little horns were perfect for hiding under a cap, and he could leave with John to work. She had to stay at home… with Gamzee. Gosh, that guy sometimes gave her goosebumps. Since they lacked from sopor slime to make him pie, they had to be a little… creative, and put sleep meds on his food. The guy was almost immune to them, probably because he was accustomed to eating the damn recuperacoon slime -that John assumed had to be made of similar chemicals- so they had to feed him a constant torrent of pills, hidden in his food. Vriska considered going back to sleep, and turned slightly towards the room. The corner of her eye caught a note, pinned to the door of her room. She turned and picked it up, fingering the pin in her free hand.
The note read
“Hi Vris! I was about to wake you up for breakfast, but you seemed to be deeply asleep, so we decided that it was better to leave you alone. Well, I decided. Karkat was too busy ranting about something, heh. I left food in the fridge. I hope you wake up before Gamzee, because if not, he´ll probably eat all the food, and then you would have to think in something to give him some pills. Good luck with that.
John”
Then, in Karkat´s handwriting, there was an annotation.
“DON’T KILL OR LEAVE PARALYTIC ANYONE TODAY PLEASE”
