VRISKAAAAAAAAAAA!

Report to the Golden Hind within the next half-hour!

[She didn't even bother making the call private, and so you can see Rider sitting atop....a pile of pumpkins in a wheelbarrow.]

[action]

[Flying down the streets of Prospero in the direction of the docks is one pink-haired Francis Drake. And she is pushing a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins, knives, and the power of rock.]

[No, really, she crammed a radio in there with everything else.]

[And somewhere, a historian is openly sobbing.]

Action

[scorpiospider]

[Well now. She knew that Mama Rider had interesting ideas, and those pumpkins... yes, she was going to race Rider there.]

[hellburner]

[oh okay]

[she'll just be BARRELING DOWN THE HILL AT THE SPEED OF ROCK]

[scorpiospider]

[Uh uh! No you don't! Vriska "borrowed" a bicycle that was left all alone and started pumping her legs, willing herself to beat her adopted lusus home]

[hellburner]

[VRISKA SHE WILL CRASH RIGHT INTO YOU]

[DON'T YOU TEST HER ON THIS]

[scorpiospider]

[FUCK YOU MAMA SHE'S WINNING THIS ONE]

[hellburner]

[NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoh goddammit, Rider's about five seconds too slow.]

[scorpiospider]

[YES YES SHE GOT IT. And didn't stop properly, but jumping off the bike and rolling onto the Hind before Rider managed to get there counted, right?]

[hellburner]

[Somewhere an NPC is wondering where his bicycle is. And he'll never check the harbor it just flew into.]

Hmph--! I'll get you next time.

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska stuck out her tongue, then pumped her hands into the air] Ahahahahahahahah! I got it! Youth wins!

[hellburner]

Whatever, kid.

[She'd just be carting that wheelbarrow full of junk right on deck. And then she'd rummage through the pumpkins and sharp objects for a box, which she handed to Vriska.]

Got ya something.

[scorpiospider]

[To which she instantly dug into] Ooooooooh, what'd ya get me?

[hellburner]

I was thinking you could use a change of uniform, so to speak.

[And inside would be a tailor-made blue and black outfit, complete with the Scorpio symbol in place of a cross on the collar.]

[scorpiospider]

Lusus...

I love it! [She cackled, hugging her]

[hellburner]

Of course you do.

[Grinning, Rider ruffled Vriska's hair and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.]

I figure if you're gonna go running around with me, you might as well look good doing it.

[scorpiospider]

And it's the best color! I'm going to go put it on. [Vroom]

[hellburner]

[Well, she'll just be unpacking a few pumpkins and pumpkin-eviscerating accessories while you do that, Vriska.]

[scorpiospider]

[To which she comes back to and-]

What's this shit for?

[hellburner]

There's this modern holiday coming up, and part of the decorating involves hollowing these out and carving designs into them, then lighting it with a candle.

...The important part is that there's a lot of shit in these things that'll be left over, and a city full of people that need shit dumped on their heads.

[scorpiospider]

...

[Slow grin]

Is it messy?

[hellburner]

A nightmare.

[scorpiospider]

Why are we talking about it? Let's do it!

[hellburner]

That's my girl. Grab a knife and a pumpkin, I'll show you how to get this sucker open.

[scorpiospider]

[Done and done]

Where'd you learn about this? This is awesome and the best.

[hellburner]

I was watching someone else do it outside their house earlier. Seemed pretty easy to figure out from there.

[scorpiospider]

Sweeeeeeeet. [She's already stabbing at the pumpkin]
