Trollstuck, part 35

====>Are you sure about that?

Yes of course you--

Oh, shit. No. No, this can't be happening. Why do all your plans fall apart? Why is everyone always out to get you?

This has to be Terezi's fault. No way would Davven Kronos show up to chat with Megido in person unless someone gave him orders, and you're pretty sure he had some kind of fight with Agaion a perigee or two ago so Terezi's the only option. Damn her! It's not enough to break your partnership, she has to start actively sabotaging you too?

If Kronos convinces Megido to listen, there's no telling where on the planet they'll blip off to, and even Sollux takes time to travel. You have to pin them in place before they get their act together and escape.

You've never tried to control him before, especially not when you're already controlling someone else, but no matter what Terezi says, you know other ways to manipulate people. Proving that by messing around with her stupid moirail will be the icing on the cake of your victory over Megido.

====>Be Alonde

It is a dark and stormy night. Wind whips the ocean around your reef into a frenzy; thunder cracks and rolls; lightning spears down to ignite the wrack and jetsam caught between the rocks; towering tentacles of foam and salt lash over your hive. You ignore the chaos. Storms blow up at the drop of a hat in this season. It has nothing to do with your work. You have long since dismissed the pathetic fallacy as a bit of superstitious drivel useful only for instilling proper respect in those who would laugh at your interest in Those Beyond.

You kneel in the center of a circle, needles braced between your palms at just the right pressure to pierce your chitinous hide and let your blood drip onto the sigils carved into the floor.

IƤ Cthulhu fhtagn!

I always forget how fun writing is when I'm in a fallow period. Man, why do I let my sleep schedule get screwed up so I'm too tired to think creatively? It just makes me unhappy in all kinds of directions at once.

*resolves once again to go to be at more reasonable times*

*will probably fail, as always*

*oh well*
