[PRIOR TO PROM]

[notagamblingman]

[Hey Homestuck cast that is going to prom! ARE YOU READY? You'd better be, because as if by magic, at the EXACT moment you are ready to go, a white stretch limo shows up to pick you up. Wherever you are. You could even be outside in the middle of nowhere and this guy (who is very perplexed by the instructions he was given) picks you up

YEAH WE SHOULD PROBABLY BRANCH OFF...STARTING HERE...OR SOON...

[arachnopho8ia]

Soooooooo, Karkitten. Here you are!

[Yeah, you bet that "so" had eight O's in it even if she wasn't typing it.]

That's all right. These prom things need winners and losers, so you're not totally useless. But I'm only talking to the winners.

[Which means back to Kanaya!]

I understand. You've got to get your own irons in the fire. I'm so understanding that I won't even kill the other people you dance with. So long as the song you save for me is special enough.

[supertiero]

[I think you mean HEHRADIA AND HEHFERI

brightly:] Think about it, Sollux. The choices in decoration make it somewhat obvious! [She's kind of teasing, but really Aradia's just happy to see him again (not to mention to be seen, which is an unexpected bonus to this place's weird time shit) in person! In... trollson..... don't look at me.] Which gift is yours, by the way?

-slowly tags late

[ohnoyousquidnt]

Sollux!

[You have no idea how EXCITED Feferi is that he showed up in not a three wolf moon tshirt :'|]

You're here! You're HERE!!!!

[ohnoyousquidnt]

Maybe he thinks you should pick up a FUN SUMMER HOBBY?

[Someone decides that now is a good time for puppy-dogfish eyes]

GONNA...TRY...THIS BRANCHING THING

[tastesrainbows]

Nonsense! He's as much a winner as any. [ and just to show how much she thinks so because she's the most protective moirail: ] Come sit here by me, Karkat.

[ then raising hella eyebrow ] But really, Vriska, how terribly generous of you. I'll have to be sure it's an appropriate song to match.

TREES THAT NEARLY GET FORGOTTEN WHOOPS

[arachnopho8ia]

[Making Karkat feel all defensive and awkward would be fun, usually! But somehow when Kanaya objects to it, Vriska feels kind of bad. Like she swallowed something unpleasant. Maybe her human body is acting up. Gross.]

Is he some kind of accessory? The lame kind? You're acting like you actually care about his feelings. You're too cool for that now, you know!

THE BRANCH THAT TIME FORGOT

[tastesrainbows]

[ god vriska why do you have to be so difficult ]

Oh yes, this is clearly an unthinkable possibility! You do realize who you're speaking to, don't you?

[ WHATEVER WHATEVER SHE'S TALKING TO HER BFF NOW ] Have you found your gift yet? We've each apparently been left one.

[arachnopho8ia]

Shut up, fussyfangs.

[Wait, she just told Kanaya to shut up. You're not supposed to tell someone to shut up when you have red feelings for them. Oops!]

I mean, keep talking. Keep talking as much as you want! I actually kind of like hearing your voice now. Ugh, are you still talking?

[This to Karkat.]

It's white-text guy's doing. He has a creepy thing for us. Gross, right? Your present will probably suck, because you do, but mine's pretty awesome.

[Never mind that she was talking about how stupid it was just a few minutes ago.]

[tastesrainbows]

[ she frowns at vriska ever so slightly, just enough to bring the corners of her mouth out into a line. god, she wished the other girl'd just be honest with her for once instead of trying to hard to be what she thought kanaya wanted.

as if kanaya even knew that herself!

at least she had that silly compliment eight-ball, and seemed to be enjoying it just as much as kanaya'd guessed. she smiled a little thinking about it how secretly happy it must make her, kanaya didn't mind that at all. ]

He seemed to cater each of them to our tastes, so if it happens to be another copy of your visual media disc, you may want to handle it carefully. Perhaps I should, if that would help.

SKIPPING ALONG TO GIVE THIS TAG A FRIEND TO HANG WITH

[tastesrainbows]

Oh, I've heard him called by many names. [ and not all of them kind, and some of those coming from herself. she's never really sure what to make of him, exactly. it's a fondness tempered with loathing.

she carefully unwraps karkat's gift, making certain not to tear the paper, (she's fond of it's glossy finish) then holds up the contents for karkat to see. ]

Oh, I think this may be a punchline you could certainly enjoy!
