A young troll stands on her balcony over looking her kingdom.

Today is her wriggling day, even though it was about nine sweeps since she was born, it feels like it was only yesterday since she came into this world.

What is this her name?

Enter: Vriska Serket

Unfortunately, that name is not hers. For the name Vriska Serket belongs to one of the twenty-four troll gods. This woman is clearly a mortal and comparing her to such a mighty figure is an insult to Vriska herself.

But your mistake is understandable.

After all, Vriska Serket is her ancestor and comparing her to such a high and mighty figure might even be consider a compliment. After all there are bound to be some similarities between the two of them.

She will forgive you for now, but what is this lady's name?

Enter: Takala Serket

Ah, that's better.

She is Takala Serket, one of the two lords to House Serket.

Like many trolls in her position she oversees the House and the planet she resides on. Although her power is only half of what it should be. This is because she must share her authority with her brother.

How is a troll capable of having a sibling anyway? Trolls are not supposed to have any siblings last time you checked.

She is tired of explaining this to everyone she meets but she will take the time to explain to you.

When she was just a grub her and her brother shared the same body. It wasn't the cutest grub having two heads and all, but they where to become a lord one day, just like every other descendent of the Beta Trolls. Two Lusus's watched over her and her brother until the day they where separated. Her brother's Lusus had no bond to her and only cared for him. So, it was no surprise when it decided to use its stinger to cut the grub right in half to separate Takala and her brother. Takala and her brother both survived this event and they both developed into normal looking trolls. As they grew older both became accustom to their duties as a Serket. Both became fascinated with the family name especially when it came to their ancestor Vriska Serket. But who wouldn't idolize an ancestor who was per legends, the Thief of Light, a pirate and the goddess of luck.

There is one problem with having a brother though.

Every other house only has one lord, House Piexes has Varuna, House Vantas has Kaiaxe, House Megido had Yurein. House Serket is divided by two under the authority of Takala and her brother. It doesn't help that they hate each other too. Not in the kismesis way, that would be disgusting! Their relationship revolves around the two of them trying to kill each other, for neither of them where interested in sharing power Over the years Takala and her brother have been wrestling for control over the House constantly probing each other for a weakness. One of these days there will only be one lord of House Serket. Someone is going to blink eventually.

Takala*Look around your room

All over the room are items retaining to her three hobbies; thieving, manipulation and FLARP. Its only appropriate that she followed in her ancestor's foot steps and become a thief as well. Ever since she was young she has been practicing by sneaking through the city and committing petty theft. This was a necessity for her Lusus died when she was young, learning how to survive by any means. Since then she has become a much more talented thief even managing to steal from her own brother before. As for manipulation, she enjoys trickery and deceit but those talents are more of a necessity to expand her influence as much as she can through out the house. More power meant more opportunities which in turn would give her plenty of times to be happy. As for FLARP and all that nerd stuff, her friends got her into that. She doesn't enjoy it, but some of her friends like the activity. The least she could do for them was to pretend to enjoy the activity.

Speaking of friends, she still hasn't open the presents they gave to her for her wriggling day. She wondered what could she have gotten for her wriggling day.

Takala reached in the pile to pull out one of the gifts. Its one of the smaller packages but its from her friend Tialey Pyrope, the Lord of House Pyrope. That girl always tried to make their morailship to work. She wonders what's inside.

It's a set of dice, but these are not just any ordinary dice. These dice belong to none other then Vriska Serket and are the same set she used during her adventure in Sburb.

Takala is never going to let go of these. Best to keep them in a safe place where she won't lose them.

She decides to place the dice in her pocket.

She opened another package. This one is from her friend Varuna Peixes. She is the leader of all the houses and a very busy woman, a bit up tight too as she tried to maintain a professional appearance of a politician. Her present was a package of magic 8 balls and a note stating that Takala still should do her taxes. That girl is always ranting on about domestic affairs, troubles between houses and dealing with the other alien species. Varuna barely had any free time at all with her job. The fact that she had the time to give Takala these presents and come over later today shows how much she cares about her.

Finally, she opened a present from Kaiaxe Vantas, who is the leader of House Vantas. Kaiaxe was an energetic troll, who was always getting into trouble. She was someone Takala enjoyed hanging out with, for they would get in all sorts of trouble. She established that when Kaiaxe broke the six-six name rule calling herself Kaia. This combined with her attitude made people feel uncomfortable being around her, but not Takala. As for Kaia's present to Takala, she gave her an old pair of glasses, probably a replacement pair for the one she broke. She studied the eye ware glancing at its features. On the back of the nose piece was a name edged into the plastic, "John Egbert". Looks like this John Egbert was the original owner of these glasses. Takala never heard of the Troll, if he was a Troll. Guy had an odd name, maybe he was an alien. Her husk top began to make a noise and Takala approached the device.

RED69BLOODGAL began to pester Ser8edSpider

Kaia: HAPPY WRIGGLING DAY GIRL!

Takala: Thanks ::::)

Kaia: ANY PLANS FOR TODAY? ASIDE FROM THE BIG GET TOGETHER LATER TONIGHT ITS BEEN SO BORING HERE WAITING TO HANG OUT YOU KNOW. WELL ASIDE FROM IGNORING VARUNA ALL DAY. GIRLS BEEN ON MY BACK ALL WEEK LECTURING ME ABOUT FILLING OUT TAXES AND MAKING SURE THAT MY PLANET IS MAKING ENOUGH RESOURCES.

Takala: She's 8een messaging me too, saying that I'm 8ehind on my taxes as well. She also left a message a8out keeping an eye on my 8rother and reporting anything suspicious to her.

Kaia: WELL I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO GET LECTURED ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE'S OUR FRIEND BECAUSE SHE IS SO UP TIGHT WITH THE HOLE BEING RESPONSIBLE THING.

Takala: She's not that 8ad. Varuna is very knowledgea8le, which is very useful when your trying to find new ways to corrupt the system. Her authority is useful as well, I'd pro8a8ly 8e dead at the hands of my 8rother if she didn't keep him on a short leash. Also, she's fun to hang out with too.

Kaia: OF COURSE, YOU IMIDITALLY BRING UP WHAT HER POSITION DOES FOR YOU RATHER THEN HER PERSONALITY.

Takala: Every one calls me the "Queen of Lies" for a reason. :::;)

Kaia: WE STILL HAVE TO WORK ON YOUR PROBLEMS…

Tialey was a judge for the Supreme Alternian Court. She handled all cases that impacted more then one house. Like her ancestor Terezi, Tialey had a "lady boner" as Kaia would sometime put it for justice. In fact knowing Tialey, Takala never knew how Vriska could manage to be Terezi's morial, all that justice stuff must have driven her nuts.

Takala: What did my 8rother do this time?

Takala: All right what did he do to you?

Varuna: T)(is mont)( my security teams )(ave caug)(t at least six of )(is spies/ assassins scouting military sites and stealing information from ot)(er )(ouses.

Takala: That's not too 8ad. He usually does stuff like that. The guys constantly changing his str8gies. He's so am8itious of making House Serket the Ruling House.

Kaia: WHATS WITH THAT SERKET NATIONLISM ANY WAY. EVERY LORD IN CHARGE OF THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN PREACHING ABOUT HOW HOUSE SERKET SHOULD BE THE RULING HOUSE EVER SINCE HOMESTUCK ENDED.

Takala: Well it makes perfect sense once you think a8out it. Not to 8er8 any of your ancestors 8ut Vriska played the most important role of all the trolls. She is the one that was key to preventing the doom timeline and she was the one to defeat Lord English. If it weren't for her the trolls would simply not exist.

Takala: I would of course 8ut him, it would 8e a nightmare for everyone if he was in charge.

Varuna: I disagree wit)( t)(e idea of you being a good leader.

Takala: Why? I'm just as smart as you and I am excellent at maintaining control of my su8jects.

Varuna: But your )(orrible at making t)(em )(appy. Takala t)(e purpose of being a leader is not to serve yourself but it is to serve ot)(ers.

Takala: I know it's a 8om8, its always a 8om8. I just 8een wondering what type of 8om8 it is.

Varuna: Great now I )(ave to cover up a possible mass murder.

Takala: This planet is stuck in a war between me and my brother. Stuff like this happens all the time.

Varuna: Your getting innocent people )(urt. W)(at ever )(appen to t)(at don't kill the innocent rule?

Takala: No one in that 8uilding is innocent. They either work for him or their super corrupt.

Varuna: Your a )(orible person some times you know t)(at?
