Chapter Text
Your eyes dart open as the dawn of a new, unwelcome day rouses you from restless slumber. The curtains drawn back to fill your respiteblock with the 'gentle' light of the distant sun, a far cry from the orb of blinding hate of your youth, the indiscriminate weapon which...
Uggggggggh.
You extract yourself from the sopor with a grumble; you swore you closed the curtains when you turned in for the night. As little as the diurnal lifestyle may agree with you, it's worth it. You've borne worse for less, and you'd bear anything for them. You'll grin and 8ear it! After all, your name is--
OW!
You shift your weight out of the cocoon and stamp onto a waiting d4. You jolt the rest of the way off the cocoon, landing firmly on a roller skate positioned just so, which carries your momentum rapidly toward the window. Careening such that you can scarcely unfurl your godtier-given wings, you brace to be cast out into the scalding daylight.
8ONK.
One Vriska Serket is promptly deposited in a heap of squiddle plushies beneath the sill of her respiteblock window, still quite inside her hive. A fenestrated wall, propped precariously upon the windowsill, teeters and falls, clonking the God of Light once more on the spine lump. As it comes unplugged, the block is plunged once more into darkness.
It is 3:14 AM, and Vriska Serket has been successfully pranked.
A furtive giggle skims your hear ducts as you gather your bearings. A voice you can't quite place.
heheheheh
You're struck by a strange realization, one that disquiets your blood pusher as it settles amidst the pale and flushed joys that have grounded you in this strange new world.
It's going to be a loooooooong night.
