h8ersgonnah8 | Memories 6 and 7

Memory 6: Jack Noir's interruption; subsequent flight to the Veil!
Summary format because this one is embedded in a flash.

This one is actually pretty short and low-emotion-impact, but it's significant. Basically starts just as the victorious troll group have beaten the final boss and created Earth. Karkat is about to open the door to Earth and claim their prize, everyone is feeling pretty good, when suddenly a rampaging, murderous, first-guardian-prototyped Jack Noir busts onto the scene prepared to KILL THEM ALL. Luckily Aradiabot steps in to save the day and the trolls are able to escape him temporarily, now transported what looks like an old space station laboratory on an asteroid in The Veil, where they now have no choice but to hide and wait and hatch a better plan.

Effects:
- Not a hugely personal or emotionally impacting memory but definitely significant in terms working out a lot of shit that didn't make sense before! This memory is basically one of the few memories she has on her registry that provides any CONTEXT for why she's not on her home planet in half her memories but on an asteroid space station. She still doesn't understand much about Sgrub or how it's all connected, but from this memory she knows that:

1. Somehow, for some reason, we were going to go to Earth. And it was going to be a prize for us.
2. We were denied that prize by a terrifying and murderous agent of Derse?? There is some confusion there though as her memory-self recognises that this is NOT the Jack Noir from their session.
3. All the trolls are present for this memory so even if she doesn't remember who they all are she definitely knows what they all look like.
4. ... Yep Aradia sure is a robot. What's with that?
5. Knowledge that, for some reason, they definitely can't go back to Alternia.

ETA note: O rite I had her take this one offscreen, since it would be a pain to explain in a thread :B.

Memory 7: Get owned by Terezi and Doc Scratch.

She can't be serious. What could POSSIBLY lead to your demise in a matter of minutes?

WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE???

You consult with your MAGIC CUE BALL, an extremely rare treasure you recently plundered from an ancient crypt, and one of many rumored to be hidden across the globe. Each at one time belonged to the strange and powerful man fabled to live on the green moon, but have since managed to escape his vision.

It is said to make predictions with alarming precision and specificity. Unfortunately it lacks a portal on its surface that allows you to view the prediction.

So who could say for sure whether its predictions were accurate? It would require someone with x-ray vision.

Or, just maybe...

Someone with VISION EIGHTFOLD.

You channel your powerful eyesight through your customized lenses and whisper to the faithful little oracle: Should you be worried about Terezi's threat?

Ok, little ball. Fine. If you're so smart, then answer this! How is it going to happen!

HOW????????

The next bit will have to be in summary-format again because it's embedded in the first half of the flash page [S] Make Her Pay.

Basically, Vriska doesn't die, but that is the end of her left arm and eye for the forseeable future. Lying in a puddle of her own blood when she comes to, she then proceeds to waste no time getting her revenge! DESPITE MISSING AN ARM she still stands up and, fueled pretty much only by sheer rage, manages a psychic double reacharound wherein she MIND CONTROLS TAVROS into using his animal mind-control powers to MIND CONTROL TEREZI'S LUSUS into MIND CONTROLLING TEREZI into walking outside in the daylight and staring directly into the Harsh Alternian Sun, thus blinding her.

Effects:
+ 100 POINTS TO "FUCK YES REVENGE IS SWEET. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE." This memory will have her swing back more towards her amoral and angry and violent and bitter side.
+ Iiiii sure did kill someone and Terezi wasn't happy about it and I sure did not feel very bad about it all, huh 9.9
+ WOW I SURE HATE TEREZI >8E
+ OW MY ARM :( AND EYE :( THAT HURT :(
+ Context for her previous memory wherein she was bitching and moaning at Terezi. SUDDENLY IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
+ Except for the part where ... my arm and eye appear to be JUST FINE NOW?? What's up with that.
+ Knows now that she can't mind control people who are strong willed (Terezi) directly, and also that her powers don't seem to work directly on lusii/animals. Hence the need for the psychic double reacharound.
+ She'll definitely be frustrated now trying and failing to use said mind control powers in Aather now that she's realised the extent to which she is actually supposed to be able to use them.
