I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully there will be more soon.

If not, make sure to include a message to that effect.

WHOO SKAIANREDEEMER LIKED MY FIC! ...Ahem. I'm...not sure what you mean about the overall title thing. I mean, I DID have a long fic I was working on in this universe, but I lost my mojo on it and I'm probably not going to finish it, hence why I took it out of my sig. I did make a new heading for these oneshots to go under, though. As for your query...whoops. The room Aradia goes back to are her temporary quarters. Sorry that that was unclear.

@Wigmund: That was adorable!
@aC and Dehgan: You guys are like the Stoll brothers of the fanfic thread. I'm loving this fic.

@Path: Ahhhh best thing for a snowday

Man why do I like the idea of Felt!Dave so much :|a

**SeptimusMagistos** · 02-02-2011, 11:46 AM

All right. I should warn you in advance, I don't know how much of this I'll ever actually write. I have an unfortunate tendency to get sidetracked from any project larger than a one-shot. But I put enough work into this that I think it might be worth posting all by itself.

We’re All Doomed

Chapter 1: (in which things get worse by getting better)

It all went wrong when Vriska decided not to put John to sleep.

It’s hard to say why she did so. Perhaps she felt a moment of doubt. Perhaps she thought that destiny might yet be changed. Perhaps she simply grew distracted. Most likely she simply made that decision because somewhere else she made a different one.

In any case, the doll dropped into the kernel.

Jack was the first to feel the brunt of Vriska’s decision, learning the hard way that the middle of a swordfight is not a good a good time or place to have your total number of arms and eyes reduced to zero. Even his amazing blue hair only kept his opponents at bay for seconds.

Jack Noir was dead.

And somewhere far away, The Knight Of Blood had something to say about it.

**Miss Prince** · 02-02-2011, 11:48 AM

Thank you to everyone who said nice things about the Daddy!Droog fic!

@Skaian: Yeah, they're young adults, about 20 years/10 sweeps old. I've been hesitant to use time terms much (beyond "day") because of the issue of Alternia vs. Earth terminology, but then I went and used "Thursday" so OH WELL. Droog referring to Aradia as "his little girl" and Slick calling her "kid" are more terms of endearment, and also probably condescension in Slick's case :P

**SkaianRedeemer** · 02-02-2011, 12:14 PM

@Path: The next thing we know, the cast of Problem Sleuth suddenly finds themselves at the end of the comic, in mid-air, with no vehicle.

@Wigmund: Rainbow Drinker Kanaya is in-thread canon now, isn't it? Also, I've never seen any Nepeta/John! Have I? Well, okay, maybe. I'd like to see them talk, now.

@Aerodactylus: Yeah, I was referring to the "Space Pirates" thing.

That line really made me laugh, probably because it's something Sburb could really contrive. (Also, I had to fix up some formatting to make this quote work and it occurs to me to mention that you could just surround the entire pesterlog in one [B] tag and save yourself a lot of trouble!)

@Miss Prince: I figured that was the case, it was actually Aradia living with Droog without, say, an apparent job that was making me wonder (of course, it is the pseudo-thirties, so even that's not necessarily the case and you can see where I got confused). It was easiest to just roll with the original fanart but since Aradia is a robot in the fanart...

Boston. Looks like our normally competent public transit system finally retired to the hornpile. GAMEZEE IS SNOW! SHIT.

that made more sense at the time.

@kerensky: *CHEERS*

**Nox** · 02-02-2011, 12:58 PM

Because I both love Vriska AND think she needs a wake-up call, I give you:

Silent Spider

Prologue: Elsewhere

A young troll names Vriska Serket came to the realization that she didn't know where she was. It was an odd sensation, she felt like she had been walking a moment before, but from...and to where?

It actually looked like the images of earth she had seen when she watched the human players grow up. Beneath her feet was one of their trademark stone roads with the odd yellow line dividing the middle. To the left of the road a dense forest of pine erupted outward, and to the right the road fell away past the railing. Must be a steep drop.

She could not see much else, since a dense impenetrable fog hung everywhere. Honestly, she hadn't even known it could get this thick, the land was cast in an eternal gray.*Her first impulse was to turn back, and she almost yelled in surprise when she did.

"Wha? What happened to the road?" Vriska asked. It was a fair question. She may not be an expert on human roads, but she knew they weren't suppose to break off and drop straight down like that! "Geeze! I can't even see the bottom in this fog, or the other side for that matter."

Deciding she had gone through enough bullshit, Vriska decide to fire up her rocket boots, and...wait. Something was very wrong here.

A quick check showed her Strife Specubus and her Silendex were both gone! Not even empty, but outright gone! It was like she had never played SGRUB. A wave of fury filled the six sweep old troll. "All my gear, all of it! I've been robbed!" she exclaimed in her rage. "When I get my hands on the punk who stole my stuff, they will wish they had never been hatched!"

Then, a small thought appeared in her head. It was just a nervous suspicion, an utterly ridiculous thought, but it still sent a sense of dread through her. "I...I only lost my gear, right?" Deciding to check, she mentally summoned her God Wings.

...

Nothing

Nothing! All the levels were gone, all of them! The power to shape luck, the strength and power that was inherent to each hard earned level, even her Gog-given ability to manipulate others felt like it had left her! Now Vriska was starting to panic. You can't LOSE levels! That's against the entire game's system, no program or power the program held should be able to do that!

Unless...

"This is...something outside the game. This is something new." Vriska concluded. It made sense, some outside force had yanked her out of her session and removed everything the game had given her...and her mental powers as well. But to what end? Most of her value was in her gained strength. True she was still kind of awesome without all that, naturally, but if whatever brought her here could drain her power like this... "What do they NEED me for?"

Although she would not admit it, she was also worried HOW she would get her power back. Neither brute strength nor manipulation was open to her, not that it would do much good against someone who could take skills away like that. Perhaps she could make a deal?

"Well, I'm not going to progress any farther if I spend all day pondering, advance or abscond!" she concluded, and proceeded down the path away from the chasm in the road. One step at a time, first she needed to figure out just where this was. If it was earth, then it must have been some time in the past, but not many. The road and railing suggested it could not have been more then ten or twenty years in the past. But it could not be the present, too much worldwide devastation for such a silent...if unsettling, place to exist.

Vriska's thoughts were interrupted when on her right, elevated to be visible was a sign. Clearly welcoming people to a town that must be ahead. The troll knew that she should be happy to know more, if only a little, but...something about the words on the sign made her blue blood run cold...

WELCOME TO SILENT HILL

To be continued...

I can't believe no one's commented on this one yet. All of the characters sound in-character for the most part, and the rest of the time they're so cute I don't care :3 . You're turning me into a polyamorous shipper, Wigmund.

High five on the Boston snow day! I finally have a chance to actually read Problem Sleuth.

YAY! Now you can join us in all the crack theories about how it's linked to Homestuck!

@Skaian: Rainbow-drinking Kanaya forevers.

Hopefully you haven't been reading my stuff in the TrollCops thread, Vriska's even more sympathetic there.

**PingZing** · 02-02-2011, 01:41 PM

Kassie - Re: Hearts and Arrows That was incredibly sweet and I think Rainbow Drinker Kanaya is probably one my favorite bits of fanon now. That final line was hilarious too =P
Re: Vindicatrix Pt. 3 - Yep, Eridan was in way over his head the moment he showed up, wasn't he? Leaving an opponent maimed and alone with their guilt does seem a very Rose-like thing to do though. I enjoyed it.

Miss Prince - I don't think I responded to part 1, but I really enjoyed it as well. You nailed the Aradia-Droog relationship, or at least how I picture it. Droog being a protective father though...awesome, in his own way. And Droog bringing Aradia along? Pardon me while I go hum the first few seconds of "Black"...

Aerodactylus - Whoa. Thassa lotta worldbuilding right there. I enjoyed it! The inter-class conflicts based on zodiac symbol and its related ideology was an interesting idea. The canon characters you used were nicely in character; I cannot help but love picturing Gamzee as the loud, drunken-but-competent(?) butler.

arcaneCalligrammancer & Dehgan - Ahaha, I was grinning the entire time I read this. The line “Shit, let’s just be a hemoglobin exchequer.”? Awesome. And Kanaya's final descent into melodrama at the end there had me snickering something fierce.

Looking forward to more.

Heh, funny that you bring that up; I actually looked that up online because I knew something like that was true. But I'd already had the dialogue written by that point, and didn't think it was worth scrapping in favor of factual accuracy about the genesis of colds. The closest I get to acknowledging it is Rose's bit of dialogue. Otherwise, I'm just going to sort of pretend they're only thirteen and don't know any better =P

Thank you for the kind words though!

**Nox** · 02-02-2011, 01:43 PM

Amen to that, we all seem to be rooting for Rainbow Drinker Kanaya. I made a fic of it myself, but I didn't think it was of acceptable quality, so I'm gonna wait on it and polish it up, then perhaps post it when everyone isn't doing it at once.

@Wigmund: Love the Karkat/Jade, even if it's not my preferred paring. I also enjoy the casual version of Rainbow Drinker Kanaya, very funny.

@SeptimusMagistos: I'm gonna sing the doom song now! Heh, really though this is an interesting turn. I assume they both became offshoot timeliness because Vriska existed in one world, and affected the other. You know, under the circumstances it might be that Bec Noir is the doomed one, all things considered.

**Kawa** · 02-02-2011, 01:48 PM

Here's for more Cute Rainbow Drinker Kanaya!

**Kassiopeia** · 02-02-2011, 02:13 PM

Oh man you guys I am sorry not to have more rainbow-drinker-Kanaya for you! Instead, um, here is a happy little story about Jack and the Queen. (SPOILER: BOTH THOSE ADJECTIVES ARE A LIE)

(IDK if we go in for trigger warnings around here but I should probably mention that, while there is no really graphic violence, this is a pretty unequivocally abusive relationship, which may not be to all tastes.)

Written/Unwritten

A/N

**SkaianRedeemer** · 02-02-2011, 02:22 PM

@Kerensky: Glad you covered my fic because I really figured you wouldn't have time!

I will try to write more often. As I've alluded, I'm busy trying to crack this here nut.

**mediokreKarapase** · 02-02-2011, 02:27 PM

Phenomenal as always Kassiopeia.

**Graven_Image** · 02-02-2011, 02:29 PM

Kass, that was insanely awesome.

That is grade freaking A, right there. Someone give her a medal.

**Stormrunner** · 02-02-2011, 02:36 PM

I was wondering. Is this the place to ask for someone to look over a fanfiction I wrote or is there another thread for that?

Thanks so much! Yeah, worldbuilding is one of my favorite things about writing. And I'm definitely looking forward to writing Gamzee's oneshot.

@Stormrunner: Go for it! This IS the fanfic thread, after all. There is also a dedicated writing critique thread, but more exposure never hurts!

Well, I just want a proofread before I post it to make sure it doesn't sound like drivel like my last one XD. Not sure how many people would proof a 13 page single spaced story that is Vriska centric (I plan to write it from other points of view later on if this one goes over ok).
