Okay, step one of not being an idiot was passed with some colors. "So uh, how was your day?" She asked. Yes, small talk. Of course. Failed step one again, Terezi. She closed the door once he stepped inside. Yeah, that limp wasn't as bad now, but it was still there.

"Well, aside from last night, pretty good. I had a bunch of my tutor students coming up and ask me why I wasn't doing lessons anymore, though..." They'd all sounded extremely disappointed. Maybe it had to do with the fact that they'd all passed their midterms with flying colors for the very first time.

2015-04-24 05:43:27

●

"Well, I guess it was because they appreciated you helping them." She assumed that, at least. " Though it seems like your day was much better than mine, only just sleeping until I got completely and utterly bored of it."

2015-04-24 05:48:08

🌀

"Sleeping's not /so/ bad." Haha. "And you're better now, so that's good."

2015-04-24 05:49:10

●

"It is when you're dead." She smiled. "Though it is better than the alternative."

2015-04-24 05:49:51

🌀

".....uh..." Well, that's morbid. He smiled back hesitantly. "....sure?"

2015-04-24 05:50:27

●

"Anyway." She walked over to the living room and sat on the couch. "I'm that you're okay, at least. But me than you." No self deprecation here. Things would of been much worse if it was him with the broken legs.

2015-04-24 05:52:43

🌀

Can't argue with that. "...I guess. Did you, maybe, want to do something? Or go somewhere?"

2015-04-24 05:53:45

●

"Well, it's probably not the best idea." She glanced over at Seculus on the table, and noticed the doll had snags and tears all along it. She picked him up. "But, this doll needs repairing, and I think Ivory would prefer to do it much better than I ever would."

2015-04-24 05:57:40

🌀

Ah, really? I actually hadn't noticed. How odd. Thank you, though. He nodded. "Sounds good. You've gotten really attached to that thing, haven't you? How'd it even end up at the cabin?"

2015-04-24 05:59:56

●

She stood up. "I really have, guess he grew on me. Spyders took it, that's all I know, how it got the rest of the way there is up in the air."

2015-04-24 06:03:03

🌀

....uh. Heheh. "Huh. Weird. So, you want to go now?"

2015-04-24 06:05:28

●

Terezi nodded. "It'd probably be best to, in case the damages get worse."

2015-04-24 06:06:21

🌀

"Okay then." He held the door open for her. As she exited, he noticed the limp, but decided not to mention it. Then they went down to the lobby and left for the store.

2015-04-24 06:07:26

●

Terezi kept the doll in one hand as they walk. Not only was she sure that would tear the doll more if she kept it in her pocket, but also it would probably be uncomfortable for Seculus. Though occasionally, she would glance at Tassek. Should she wrap her arm around him? Hug him? No, that'd be too distracting. Should she hold his hand? Yeah, that seemed doable. Though, how does Terezi do that? She doesn't, because she wasn't use to these kinda things yet.

2015-04-24 06:14:17

🌀

....oh, thank you so much, dear. Tassek didn't notice her glancing. He'd never get tired of the New York lights at night. They were just so beautiful. He was gazing at the neon signs and street lights as they passed, smiling contentedly.

2015-04-24 06:18:00

●

Okay Terezi, you can do this. This is your /boyfriend/ for fucks sake. Hand holding should be mandatory. She cleared her throat. You can do this. "I was wondering since we're ah....dating...and all...If I could hold your hand, possibly?" She stumbled over her words. Yeah, good job with that one.

2015-04-24 06:22:56

🌀

He looked over at her and blushed. "What? Oh, s-sure, I mean, if you want to...." Hesitantly, he reached over and took the hand that wasn't holding me. His palm was slightly sweaty, but soft.

2015-04-24 06:24:45

●

Wait? He wanted too. Ahhh, Terezi was lucky she was a vampire. Her small, delicate hands were just as soft, but colder. The warmth was, however, a nice contraindication to hers. She didn't want to let go.

Eventually they made it to the store, the two of them still holding hands. Ivory was at the counter, and immediately smiled upon seeing the two of them.

"About time you two finally started dating." She greeted, then turned her head to the upstairs. "Lance you're twenty bucks poorer now! I won!"

2015-04-24 06:30:08

🌀

What, they made a bet? Dangit, why didn't they let me in? He turned redder. "W-wait, what? You..." Haha. Well, I suppose I should head back now unless I want to experience a needle and thread going through my body....no, just a little longer.

2015-04-24 06:34:26

"Oh come on, it was so obvious that I could see it," She smiled. "Though Lance said you two would take till the end of the week to figure it out. I said only a few days."

Lance came downstairs, a twenty dollar bill within his fingers. "Here." He handed the money to Ivory, who quickly snatched it. "So what brings you too in today-and why the hell are you limping?" His tone went from friendly to serious.

"Spyders." She answered before placing the doll on the counter. "He decided to try to be his old usually self and ended up doing a lot more than he intended. Think you could fix this, Ivory?"

"Oh! Yes, of course." She grabbed her sewing kit from under the counter.

"You need to be more careful, Terezi." Lance passed the doll to Ivory. "You know he's going to get more desperate as time goes on."

Before Terezi could respond, someone entered the store. A vampire.

The male walked to the counter, and he exchanged a glance with Terezi. Pale skin, neat black hair, and crimson eyes. He looked like the stereotypical vampire. Was he trying to prove something. The fact that he dressed in all black wasn't exactly helping his case as well.

The man looked Lance in the eye. There were eye level. Only the stranger was slightly shorter. "I've felt the presence of vampires not to far from here, and I was hoping that you could help me. I'm looking for one, that is." A slight British accent was laced within his words.

2015-04-24 06:46:49

🌀

Wha--? Yet another bloody vampire? I swear, they should just start a cult in this town. Tassek glanced nervously from the new person to the others. He felt like he shouldn't say anything. Vampires could sense other vampires, right? So why was he asking? Unless he was taunting them. Any vampire confident enough to taunt three other allied vampires had to be trouble. I shifted slightly since no one was looking at me so I could get a better view of him. Gothic much?

2015-04-24 06:51:22

Terezi remained silent and kept her gaze on the other vampire. There was something she didn't like about him.

"And who might you be looking for?" He seemed more serious than formal.

The male dragged his tongue across his snake bites. Piercings too? Jesus. "Blonde male. Purple eyes. 6'2. Name is Spyders Vincent Voluptatem. Though he probably changed something basic about him since he's been here."

Spyders? Terezi bit her lip. Why was he looking for him.

"Sorry, but none of us have seen him or anyone fitting that description." Lance spoke up, but his gaze glanced over to Terezi.

As did the eyes of the stranger. He turned to her and stared her down. Did he recognize her? "Very well." He spoke, still looking at her. "If you happen to see him, I go by Lucifer around here.":

He looked over and saw a doll on the counter, and immediately grabbed it.

"Drop it." Terezi spoke up. Shit. She couldn't let that doll get into the wrong hands.

He backed up quickly. "Oh? You want it." He tossed it to his other hand as he drew a silver dagger. One appearing to look just like Spyders's. "Come and get it."

He immediately made a run for it and into the streets. Terezi quickly followed him behind.

2015-04-24 07:08:10

🌀

Shit shit shit shit SHIT?! WHY IS EVERYONE SO INTENT ON TAKING ME?! I squirmed and tried to pull at his fingers to loosen his grip. To Hell with subtlety, this is a life-or-death situation!

Tassek chased after the both of them and put one of Terezi's arms over his shoulder to support her limp. "Terezi, it's not worth it, it's just a doll!" He helped her along anyway though, trying to keep up.

2015-04-24 07:14:56

●

The two of them stopped. Fuck, Tassek was right. To them it was /just a doll./ Running would only make it worse.

Lucifer was a few feet in front of them, laughing. "Oh I think it's more than just a doll at this point." He looked down at it. "They both are for once agreeing, and it's on that."

What the hell he was talking about? He didn't know that-

"You know, the devil is saying that I should gut this thing. Something about it he doesn't like but wont tell me. Whileee the angel on the other hand." He shifted his weight. "Is saying to not to do it, and that it's amazingly important. Both are so tempting." Lucifer paused. "Now I know that face. You're Spyder's girl. The only woman he ever gave two shits about, including the woman who turned her- COULD YOU TWO SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES?! GOD! I CAN'T EVEN THINK." He paused. "Sorry about that, they can be such a pain sometimes. I'm sure you know this. Anyway, since this thing is so special to you." He stuck the knife in the doll and ripped it in half. "Don't you ever fucking lie to me again. I'll be back."

He tossed the doll on the ground and walked away.
