In the planet of Alternia, a brown-blooded is sitting by his lusus, Tinkerbull. His name is Tavros Nitram and he loves fairies and watches his favorite movie of his hero, Pupa Pan. However, he has not been himself latest because of his weak kindness. Vriska have been threatening him lately of force him to jump off the cliff and lose the ability to walk. She says "You are the most worthless of us all and you should just die in a ditch somewhere. ::::)"
After a couple hours, he finally watches Pupa Pan to cheer himself up. He thought to himself "wHY CAN'T i BE LIKE HIM," Inside of him grows hate he never release before, everything starting to change for Tavros. He does not want to pick on from Vriska anymore. He wants to change to a high confidence and a balanced self-esteem troll like his Ancestor. He wants to like Rufio, expect being self-esteem and an imaginary. He wants to like his friends, especially his fearless leader, Karkat Vantas. After all, he is fearless and a leader.
"yEAH, i WANT TO BE LIKE kARKAT }:)" He smiled.
Suddenly, a bing and message pop up from Tavros' laptop. It from Karkat; the message say:
CG: HEY AT, THERE WILL BE AN EMERGENCY MEETING IN MY HIVE. YOU HAD BETTER BE THERE.
AT: oH, oK kARKAT, i'LL BE THERE,
On his way to Karkat's hive, Tavros realize he will be pick on again by Vriska like every meeting they both always in. but this day, he will stand up to himself and tell her to stop picking on him.
In Karkat's hive, everyone are at the meeting, but confused of why is there a meeting today. Tavros is a last one to enter to the hive and Vriska is smiling to ready for her attack.
"Well, well, well guess who finally show up." She laughed.
"sORRY i'M LATE, i WAS A LITTLE LOST," Tavros said.
"FINALLY YOU SHOW UP SO I CAN FINALLY TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS STUPID MEETING!" Karkat said.
"so wwhat this meetin about landwweller" a royal blood with bing bing rings, a purple cape and dark and light blue pants asked.
"OH YEA, THIS MEETING IS ABOUT A MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE I RECEIVED FROM SOME OLD GUY WEARING A HOOD OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT."
"wwhats in the package"
"IT'S SOME NECKLACE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE FUCK THAT GUY GAVE IT TO ME."
Karkat pull out the necklace from the package. The necklace has a lime green gemstone with a symbol of Theta. Everyone look at the necklace like a regular necklace. However, two trolls, the royal blood named Eridan Ampora and Vriska Serket seem to recognize it, but unsure if it is real. Eridan and Vriska keep staring at the mysterious necklace not sure, if it is real or not. Karkat is getting impatient.
"WELL, WHAT THE FUCK IS IT?" he asked.
No trolls do not know what the necklace came from but he guess Eridan and Vriska know.
"HEY YOU TWO MAY KNOW ABOUT THIS PIECE OF SHIT. DO YOU?"
"wwell" Eridan explained.
"based on a legend someone cursed a youn landwweller for some fuckin reason"
"Eridan, it's not a legend, it was a true story that my ancestor wrote a8out." Vriska explained.
"8ased on my ancestor's journal, there was a young troll named Ronica Egraha who was a lime-8looded. She was only 4 sweeps old when she and her friend were the only lime-8looded in this planet during the time of war. The rest of the lime-8looded were killed while only two survived the massacre which was Ronica and a male lime-8looded. At their 5th wriggling day, they were found and they 8oth were t8ken for execution. 8efore their execution, the male lime-8looded m8de a neckl8ce with a gemstone of a crossed circle or oval or the fuck it is. He requested Ronica to wear it to a8scond, which went successful. She a8scond 8ut i'm not sure what happen to the male lime-8looded, he just went out of the picture. 8ut one soldier did found the neckl8ce laying around in the cell and wore it. However, the next day the soldier disappears and never was hear ag8n. 8ut the neckl8ce story goes on until my ancestor found it. She knew the history of Ronica's neckl8ce was responsi8le with the disappearance, so she never wear it. Then an old geezer came along and told her to destroy it 8efore hurting the future. However, the neckl8ce was stolen after their decided to destroy it. My guess was some thief stolen the neckl8ce to sell it unknowing it a cursed. No one knew happen to the neckl8ce after that until may8e now."
Everyone is amaze of the history of Ronica and the necklace, but of course expect Karkat.
"THAT GOT TO BE THE STUPIDEST FUCKING STORY I EVER HEAR!" Karkat said.
"I MEAN, HOW THE FUCK A STUPID NECKLACE IS RESPONSIBLE WITH THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A GREEDY SOLDIER?
"actually kk." A computer nerd named Sollux Captor said.
"iit2 true, accordiing two the alterniian hii2tory. roniica, who wa2 a liime-blooded, 2uppo2e two have a powerful p2iioniic power2 liike my2elf. however, 2he wa2 taught every blood color2 expect liime were her enemiie2 after the ma22arce. how come you never hear about thii2, kk?"
"NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS"
Sollux rolls his eyes while Karkat is taking his breath. Then he speaks.
"ALRIGHT, AS SOON I FIGURE OUT ABOUT THIS SHITTY NECKLACE, I NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE IT HOME AND WATCH IT UNTIL ME AND VOLUNTEER DO MORE RESEARCH ON IT."
Seem to be no one want to volunteer; all expect Equius Zahhak, the STRONGEST troll of all.
"D - I like to be your assistant, mutant." Equius asked.
"NO WAY EQUIUS," Karkat responded.
"LAST TIME YOU BROKE MY FUCKING PHONE AND THE WALL FROM THE LAST MEETING. I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE YOU FOR HELP ANYMORE."
"D - My apology, mutant. I cannot e%acty control my own strength."
"YOU ALREADY SAID YOUR SORRY 100 FUCKING TIMES, EQUIUS! WE NEED SOMEONE ELSE FOR HELP."
However, no one still will not volunteer. Karkat is getting inpatient again.
"FINE IT'S LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO CHOOSE SOMEONE TO HELP. TEREZI AND I WILL RESEARCH THE NECKLACE AND..."
"S4Y WH4T?" a blind girl named Terezi Pyrope shouted.
"1 D1DNT W4NT TO H3LP YOU W1TH 4 CURS3D N3CKL4C3 :["
"TEREZI SHUT UP! I TOLD EVERYONE I'LL CHOOSE ANYONE WHO AREN'T GOING TO VOLUNTEER."
While Karkat shouting and cursing at Terezi, by the corner of the room, Eridan and Vriska are chatting about the necklace.
"so you think the necklace is real" Eridan asked Vriska.
"I dunno it, there's always 8ootlegged cursed neckl8ce in the fucking gift shop."
"they havve those in gift shop"
"Well duh Eridan. Of course, they have them in shops all over Alternia. What you 8een doing in your life?"
"wwell i wwas tryin to han wwith fef lately but sol had been hoggin her for the past swweep"
Vriska stare at Eridan with disappointment and sigh.
"You need to hang out more."
"wwhatevver vvris
so wwho you think should wwatch the necklace"
"I'm not sure, everyone expect karkat knew a8out the legend of ronica. However, tavros haven't 8een doing everything 8ut playing his stupid card games."
"tavv i thought you havve feelings for that dork"
Vriska starting to blush and begins to stomp on Eridan's shoe for some reason. She then shaking him while he continues to screams in agony.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!"
"wwhat the fuck did i do to you"
"Don't you ever said that, ever! ::::("
"alright vvris calm the fuck dowwn"
She let go and they both sigh in relief after their little argument, everyone turn to them seeing what happening. Vriska put her arm by Eridan's neck as if they were play wresting.
"Haha! You're funny eridan for the first time. ::::)" Vriska pretending.
"haha i almost got you there vvris (wwatch the cape)" Eridan responded.
Everyone turns back to his or her conversations; Eridan forces himself of getting out of Vriska's grip and clean himself. He look at her like it his first time seeing her angry like that.
"vvris are you ok" he said.
"i nevver saww you like that before
is it because of"
"No, it not 8ecause of him. It just... Sigh. I'll just volunteer for the neckl8ce."
"wwhat but ron is goin to control you"
"No 8iggie, i'll just manipul8 her. After all, she is a lime-8looded.
"wwell good luck wwith that"
"Are you kidding? i have all the luck! all of them. ::::)"
Vriska and Eridan ends their colloquy and they walk back to the front. She tells Karkat she will volunteer, but Karkat tell her Tavros took the necklace home to watch. Vriska is shocks; she cannot believe a wimp like Tavros willing to assist a dangerous quest. She picks up her own leader in anger.
"I can't 8elieve you!" Vriska shouted.
"I can't 8elieve you think adios toreadork will watch the neckl8ce. Everyone knows he can't handle it, he'll going to release her!"
Vriska let Karkat go and then runs away on her way to Tavros' hive. Everyone feels bad and scare at the same time, but is not sure if Tavros is dumb enough to wear the necklace to release Ronica. But everyone is scare to even move to follow Vriska, all expect Karkat. Who doesn't know about the history, however, he walks out of his hive to follow Vriska to try to save Tavros.
Tavros is in his hive with his lusus and the necklace; he does not know what with people who are scare of this necklace anyways. However, Tinkerbull have been acting strange ever since he came home with the necklace. He usually acts like this when Vriska was here. While his lusus continues groaning at the necklace, Tavros is staring at it as he is not scare.
"hMM," he stared.
"i DON'T GET IT WHY NO ONE WANT TO VOLUNTEER, iT JUST A CUTE NECKLACE, }:)"
"oh tHANk yOu tAVROs OuO"
Tavros is spook from the voice he hear in his room; he look around to see who spoke. But no one isn't here but him and Tinkerbull, the voice came back.
"hELLo oVEr hERe in fRONt of yOu"
Tavros turns back to original position, but does not see anyone but Tinkerbull. He stares at him very confuse if it was him spoke.
"tINKERBULL? }:/"
"hAHa yOURe fUNNy lOOk dOWn"
He looks down and sees the necklace, it like it talking to him. He stares at it and move closer to it. The voice begins to chuckle, which spooks him again.
"hOW, hOW, uHH, dID YOU KNOW MY NAME?" he asked.
"i kNOw eVERYONEs nAMEs tAVROs

"i cANt tELl yOu tHAt iNFORMATIOn uNTIl yOu tHe nECKLACe"
"i, i DON'T KNOW,"
The voice sighs and starting to sound more dominant.
"i don't wANt to do tHIs to yOu tAVROs bUt i hAVe no cHOICe"
Tavros is confused from the voice saying, but his arms starting to twit. He immediately takes the necklace from the table and tries to wear but Tavros does not want to.
"wHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"im fORCINg yOu to wEAr it dUh

"wHAT, nO PLEASE,"
"qUIt sTRUGGLINg aNd iLl mAKe yOu hAVe a sTRONGEr cONFIDENCe"
"nO PLEASE,,,"
"Tavros!"
Vriska enter his hive to stop him from wearing the necklace. However, Tavros did not turn from her response. She says his name again in case he'll response; he turns to her with the necklace on his neck. He begins to cry from his failure.
"i'M SORRY vRISKA, pLEASE FORGIVE ME,,," he said softly.
Vriska is shocked, the wimp she promises to make him stronger, fail to fight back.
