Notes: This is a bit oc. I mean, we all know Kanaya and Vriska are not the ones who roleplay, but this is the plot of the story, so that's the only thing about this besides it being humanstuck.

ALSO TEREZI IS NOT BLIND IN THIS FIC

Disclaimer: I do not own Homestuck. If I did then Kanaya would be with either Rose or Vriska. Which would make my heart flutter.

Yeah...

Just read the first chapter.


Your name is Kanaya Maryam. You're currently 19 years old and you live in London, England at your own private house while you go to college, majoring in fashion. You have a great life, with a great family and great friends, but it seems as if everyone expects so much from you. As proper as you are, you can't help, but to let loose once in a while when you're alone.

And that's what you happen to be doing right now. You're alone at your house, like that's not usual, and are currently on your phone, chatting away with people from all over the world. You have a small family in this online world, consisting of a boy who has major temper issues, but only means well and seems to only put up with you, and two girls who have been roleplaying for so long that they seem like masters.

They were the greatest family you could ever ask for. You all had your own little characters on the famous app "Instapic". Karkat, the boy with a short temper, has a character with the same exact personality as him. His character was a grey troll with horns that stuck out of his head. Actually, the whole family was like that in their rp world. Nepeta, one of the two rping masters has a feline like troll who was best friends with Terezi, who has a troll who was practically the master of dragons.

And then there was you. Your troll was the same as the others, grey skinned and a unique pair of horns, but yours happened to be a vampire hunter who brutally murdered the creatures with a chainsaw. Oh how your imagination could just take off in the roleplaying world.

- gallowsCalibrator [GC] opened up a group chat with arsenicCatnip [AC] carcinoGeneticist [CG] and grimAuxiliatrix [GA] -

[GC] *Opens amazingly cool group chat with the family and gives them all a welcome whack with her scale tail*

[AC] :33 *Purrs in amusement and leaps on top of GC after earning her welcome whack*

[CG] *Growls in annoyance* Honestly, Terezi, what the fuck is up with the welcome whack? That's so fucked up. You couldn't just fucking say hello?! *Evades the tail and retreats next to Kanaya*

[GA] *laughs in amusement and pats Karkat's head, careful of his horns.* It's Quite Alright, Karkat. She Was Only Saying Hello. There's No Need To Be So Nasty To Your Friend. *Gives Terezi and Nepeta a small apologetic smile.*

[GC] Y34H K4RK4T! WHY C4N'T YOU JUST 4CCEPT MY LOV3 FOR YOU?! *huffs and crosses arms over chest*

[CG] Because you're a fucking weird ass dragon girl who doesn't shut up. *Shaking fist at*

[AC] :33 *frowns and lashes tail* Come on everyone, there is no way we can be a purrfect family if we keep fighting like this.

[GA] Nepeta Has A Point. *Pats her head in praise.* There Is No Need For Us To Be Like This.

Honestly what a family they were. You emit a light bell-like laugh in amusement as your jade-green eyes read over the conversation that continued to take place on your phone. The constant buzzing indicating that there was another comment made you feel like you weren't alone your large house. You didn't really have a need to say anything at the moment. You know that Karkat actually really likes Terezi, but he gets nervous when trying to act cool and actually ends up acting like a total jerk. This little argument will end soon enough.

In the meantime you sign onto your Instapic account and posted a picture of your own rough sketch of your roleplay character. You're the only one in your "family" Who could draw (you can't stop thanking fashion for that one) your character unless you drew one for them. Because your account had that small unique touch, you had about 3,598 followers. All in all, your account was pretty popular and you made sure you interacted with your followers. Of course your posts there were much more literate than your small conversations with your family.

The young troll girl allowed a soft sigh to escape from her haunting black lips as she lowered her murder weapon. Underneath her feet lay a dead vampire with the oddest expression on his face from being killed. A gentle laugh came from her as she stepped off of the body and wiped any traces of blood onto her pants. She took a brief glance up at you with her predator eyes, really not showing any interest at the moment. After she had finished her small task of burning the dead creature's body, she turned to you with a playful smile on her lips. "Well? You have been staring at me for quite some time now." Her words were pronounced very clearly even through her english accent. " Do you have anything to say?"

- arachnidsGrip [AG] posted a new comment 30 seconds ago -

The spider like girl watched the troll girl with an interested ocean blue eye and a clouded one for quite some time now. She had no need to speak nor move until the troll girl had confronted her, asking her question. "Anything I'd like to say?" She echoes with a smirk crossing her face, her metal and normal arm crossing over her chest. "The only thing I'd like to say is that you have quite the job there. Murdering vampires with a chainsaw? Well that's a new one. That /has/ to be made into a horror movie!" She exclaims in a sarcastic tone of voice. "I'm Vriska. Vriska Serket." The girl uncrossed her arms and pushed her glasses up before extending a hand out to the troll.

{I must say, Kanaya, your account is quite the pleaser.}

You glance down at your phone after the buzzing became intolerable and looked at your notifications. Your eyes pause on the comment that has been posted on your photo. arachnidsGrip? You have not yet met him, or her. Why stop now and think about it when you could make a new friend? Your thumbs begin to fly through the letters on the keyboard.

- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] replied to arachnidsGrip [AG] 1 second ago -

Kanaya's jade-green eyes landed on the extended hand in front of her. What was this? A friendly gesture? Hmm... maybe this insect like girl was just being friendly? Hesitantly she extended her hand until it met the other girl's. Her pearly white fangs gently bit down on her lip as she thought of a proper answer. Proper answer? She only had to introduce herself! "My name is Kanaya Maryam. It's a pleasure to meet you." She responds in a soft tone of voice.

{Really? Ha That Is Really Nice of You To Say That! It seems like my character has already introduce herself, but I haven't. My name really is Kanaya. It's nice to meet you.}

You decide to check in on Terezi and Karkat's argument.

[GC] *Chuckles and pats Karkles' head* W3LL NOW, MR. GRUMPY P4NTS. I S33 YOU F1N4LLY G4VE 1N.

[CG] SHUT UP! DONT CALL ME KARKLES AND STOP FUCKING PETING ME LIKE I'M FUCKING NEPETA! *smacks her hand away forcefully*

Well that's enough checking in on that chat. Uninterested in having your phone constantly reminding you that you're in a chat with those freaks, you decided to leave the conversation.

- grimAuXiliatrix [GA] ceased the conversation -

You slowly stood up and glanced around your room for the first time since you got home from school, making sure that everything was in its usual place. Everything seemed to be untouched, so with that done you made your way to the kitchen in search of something to eat. Your house was fully stacked with food an yet today you just did not seem to want to eat any of your usuals. You settle for a pop tart, probably the only thing in your house that was junk food, and happily began munching on it while waiting for the spider girl on instapic.

You proceed to pace the kitchen while awaiting her answer.

- arachnidsGrip [AG] commented on your photo 10 seconds ago -

After shaking hand with the troll girl, she took her hand away and shoved it deep into her jeans pocket while the other one dangled. "You're so proper... and is that an accent?" She questions more to herself than to Kanaya. After looking her up and down numerous times, Vriska came to one conclusion. "You're weird." She mutters out loud. Vriska proceeded to tell Kanaya just /why/ she was weird. "You have fangs and yet you kill vampires, so wouldn't that make you a vampire yourself? And you look so fashionable... as if you're going out on a date. Seriously. What's up with you?"

{Really? I used my name for my character too. I'm Vriska. It's awesome to talk to you. I have to go soon, 8ut we should totally chat!]

Upon feeling the vibration indicating that you had a new comment, you whipped your phone out of your back pocket and your thumbs instantly began replying to Vriska.

-grimAuxiliatrix [GA] replied to arachnidsGrip [AG] 1 second ago -

"I'm weird?" Kanaya echoes softly, trying to let the words register into her head. Once they did, a faint green tint appeared on her cheeks as her black lips curled down into a frown. This was where she began to ramble over Vriska's comment. "I'm weird?!" She says again with a hint of venom in her voice. "Just how can I be weird when you're the one running around with a robotic arm. No offense, I mean you could have gotten that in an accident, but still! It's as weird as I am! I mean, probably not as weird as I am, but it's still pretty weird and you don't have the right to be calling me that!" She finishes in one breath and takes a big gulp of air at the end.

{Chat? Well Of Course. My Instatalk Username Is The Same As My InstaPic. Have A Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening.}

And send. It was only right to wish the girl a good whatever time it was for her. She wasn't used to having any of her online friends having the same time as her so when she was getting ready for a new day, the others were in their beds sending their last messages on their phone before falling asleep. It kinda sucked not having them around for the day unless they stayed up late, but then again you had school.

You waited and waited, but Vriska didn't seem to answer. It seems like whatever she was leaving for has taken her away from your chat. Well now what were you supposed to do? You could always practice violin, which you would have chosen to do if Rose had not decided to call you at that exact moment.

You see, Rose was your best friend out of everyone you know, real and online. She lives in London just as you do, and happens to be three doors down since she lives with her parents. She's the only person you've met who is as sane and proper as you are, and you couldn't thank the Lord enough times for granting you such a great friend.

"Hello, Rose." Just as you had described your troll character, your voice was clear and strong.

"Kanaya!" Rose was awfully happy in the way she called out your name through the phone. "I've missed you, even though we haven't seen each other in about three days!"

"Alright, Lalonde. Just what do you need from me because you sound unusually happy." You couldn't help, but allow the corner of your black lips twitch up into a smile.

"Oh, I really do feel shameful for asking this favor, but do you have any designs that I could possibly wear for my date on Sunday?" Rose seemed to sound a bit shy when asking this, but how why would she feel that way? Maybe she thinks you wouldn't approve of her new boyfriend. Either way you were perfectly fine with helping her find a design for her to wear to her date.

"Well of course! You can come over now if you want, being that it's 6:37 pm right now. I can order us pizza or something as you try them on!" You were already walking over to your front door, unlocking it and making your way back to the couch.

After Rose agrees, you set your phone to the side and await her arrival.


Your name is Vriska Serket. You are currently 18 years old and are living alone in an apartment on the streets of New York City. You work at a bar tender at a local club. This is because you had dropped out of college even though your grades were amazing and you got in with scholarship. Just why did you drop out though? It really is an interesting story which it seems like you'll have to go through once again.

You had average looks until the accident, but since then you now are blind in your left eye and you are missing your left arm which has been replaced with a robotic one. You have scars all over your body from fights and self harm, and you have a terrible habit of smoking. You also have a sider bite piercing on the corner of your left lip and have a tattoo of a small spider on the back of your neck. Why? Because you adore the odd creatures. The last thing about you that ties this all together is your terrible attitude.

Aside from that, how you got into this condition is something you, the reader, will have to find out later. For now you, as Vriska, must finish eating your lunch so that way you could reply to Kanaya on instapic.

Roleplaying was something that kept you busy while you were in the hospital healing, and it's been a part of your life for over a year now. It was great to let loose and talk to other people from all around the world while letting your imaginations fly.

Quickly shoving the last piece of your sandwich into your mouth, you stood up and not so gently tossed your plate into the sink where it landed on top of the pile of other dishes you had to get to later on. They could wait.

You quickly pulled out your phone and signed back into your account, reading over Kanaya's last reply with an eager eye. It did take quite some time to replying since you were blind in one eye, but you did memorize where each letter was, so the problem was fixed.

- arachnidsGrip [AG] replied to grimAuxiliatrix [GA] 1 second ago -

The mysterious woman couldn't help, but let out an amused laugh that echoed through the quiet forest. This troll girl was not only blushing green, but she was fussing over the last comment which was just hysterical. "Alright, alright. Calm down, fussyfangs." She makes out through her laughter and wipes tears away from her one good eye. "Yes, I know I'm weird with this whole look, but hey. We all have our own little quirks, right? I find being weird, different. Take it as a good thing, fussyfangs."

{Oh, thanks! Sorry, I was just eating lunch which is why I had to go. I'll Instatalk you soon. ::::D 8ut just so I know when to talk to you on there, what time is it for you?}

After sending your reply, you go over to your window which was open and inviting. The sill was wide enough for you to sit on, and you obliged its invitation almost instantly. Your one ocean blue eye trailed down to the dirty street below which was full of people pushing past each other and talking loudly on their phones. Oh how you loved New York City. With a gentle sigh, you shoved your hand deep into your vest pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes and lighter. Flipping open the box, you greedily placed one of the cancer sticks between your lips and lit it carefully. Once that was done, you put the box and lighter back into you pocket and breathed in the sickly-sweet taste.

Your phone begins to sing its ringtone for your notification

No doubt, you got me dropped down to your feet

I can't control myself you got me feeling for your lust

One touch will make me in love

No fakin' I can't control myself

You know I'll never get enough

It was Kanaya's reply to you.

- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] replied to your comment 1 minute ago -

Fussyfangs? Fussyfangs?! That's it. This woman was really starting to get on the troll's nerves. "Fussyfangs? Just what kind of nickname is that?" She hisses and takes a threatening step toward this sarcastic woman. It seems like whatever else she had said when through one ear and out the other. The troll girl tossed her murder weapon to the side and was practically face to face with Vriska within a matter of seconds. "You better watch your mouth, Spidergirl."

{It's Currently 6:52 Pm For Me. I Live In London. My Replies Will Be Slow Because I Am Helping My Friend Find Something To Wear For Her Date Soon. Thankfully I Major In Fashion, So It Shouldn't Take Too Long For Me To Find Something For Her. What Do You Major In?}

So Kanaya assumes you are about the same age as her. Well if she's majoring in something, she couldn't possibly be too much older than you. But that was the one question you always dread. What do you major in? Should you lie and say you major in something, or tell the truth and say you're a drop out. No, she'll find you pathetic for that. You might as well say what you used to major in.

- arachnidsGrip [AG] replied to grimAuxiliatrix [GA] 1 second ago -

Vriska found it so amusing that Kanaya thought she could possibly intimidate her. This troll woman was all bark and no bite, she could be certain of that. She simply allowed her one ocean blue eye to gaze into her jade-green eyes which were less than three inches away from hers. She could practically feel Kanaya's angry breath against her skin. "You're rather close," she begins in a teasing tone of voice. "are you going to make the first move, or shall I?" Vriska was only joking, but her comment was serious enough to be convincing.

{Oh, so you're five hours ahead of me. I live in New York City. You major in fashion? That's so cool. I major in Interior Architecture. Your friend has a date? Good luck to her. If you want, I'll just w8 for your reply tomorrow.]

Well now you've hit send and you have no chance of taking what you said back. You don't feel too guilty for lying, because it was only half a lie. You /did/ used to major in that after all. You pushed your glasses up once more and allowed small wisps of smoke to flow out of your nose and mouth, the cigarette inviting you for another draft. You had 6 hours before you went to work. You had plenty of time, replies, and cigarettes to kill.


"Oh I just don't know, Kanaya. Are you sure you have the time to help me?" Rose seemed to ask that question about five times now. Her cheeks were tinted a light pink which stood out against her pale skin and she was pacing around your living room so many times you just know that something is up.

"Yes, I know that I want to. He will fall head over heels for you within seconds, but not if you keep acting like that! What's going on? Can't you tell me?" You ask gently. Your jade-green eyes have been following her around this whole entire time and your black lips curved into a frown. Rose was never one to act nervous, so something really must have been bugging her.

"I'm afraid you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore if I told you." Rose murmurs as she stands in front of your sitting form with a serious look on her face.

Your phone buzzed and you knew it was a reply from Vriska. She'll have to wait. Keeping your eyes on Rose, you flipped over your phone so that way she couldn't see the first few sentences of Vriska's reply. She seems to have caught that little action, but she said nothing. She only awaited your reply.

"What do you mean I won't be your friend anymore?" You ask quietly and lean forward, taking Rose's hands in yours. You sit her down beside you and encourage her to let out her secret.

"I'm not going on a date with a guy..." Her voice is barely audible and her eyes seem to look anywhere, but at you. "I'm going on a date with Jade. Jade Harley..."

You don't seem to notice that your lips have parted and a shocked look took over your face. So your best friend was admitting that she was entering a lesbian relationship? Well that is certainly something you were not expecting to hear. How should you react?

Seeing that you couldn't find anything to say, Rose pulled her hands out of yours and stood up. "I'll take this as my leave, then. My apologies for bothering you, Kanaya." Her hands reached out for her bag and you couldn't help, but to leap out of your seat and place a hand on her shoulder.

"Rose, I don't care if you're entering that kind of relationship. It just shocked me because I wasn't expecting that from you! I'll still make the outfit for you. Hell, it'll be even better now! You don't have to go!" Your words seem to have caught Rose off guard, but it was enough to stop her from going for her bag.

"You really don't mind?" She questions and turns to you with a shy smile.

"Of course not, but you know that I must ask you questions now. How long have you been like this? How long have you liked her?" You couldn't help, but act excited toward the news. Rose seemed to be uncomfortable with answering since you took the secret so well, but she still answered.

"I've been like this for about three years now. Yes I dated guys, but I was never really comfortable around them. Jade is a sweet girl, and we've been friends for a while now. It was kind of her idea." A small smile played on her lips and you could tell Rose was happy, and that made you happy.

After a few more minutes of chatting, Rose seems to lighten up and you start discussing about what she should wear for Sunday. After about a half hour of fashion talk, you send her into the bathroom with a few articles of clothing for her to try on. When she was gone, you took the chance to answer Vriska.

- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] replied to arachnidsGrip [AG] comment 1 second ago -

Kanaya's cheeks burned with their jade-green color, instantly taking a step away from the teasing woman. "W-what? That's absurd. Don't even joke like that!" She hisses and crosses her arms over her chest in a defensive stance. "Honestly..."

{Wow! That Sounds Like A Lot Of Fun. It's Fine. I Seem To Have The Time To Answer Right Now. New York? What's It Like There? I Hear It's Great.}

Of course right when your best friend tells you that she's a lesbian, your rp with Vriska leads into that kind of moment. How ironic. You set your phone to the side and look up just in time for Rose to step out in pink combat boots, black leggings, a pink shirt with a skull on the front, and black vest. Black and pink seemed to be her favorite colors, so why not let her wear something she'll be comfortable with.

"Wow, Kanaya. It's casual and comfortable. I think this is the one." Rose says with a wide smile plastered on her face. Of course the first outfit is the right choice, but something was missing.

"Hmm..." You slowly stand up and circle Rose, your eyes looking her up and down. Just what was missing? Without giving her the chance to ask you what's wrong, you disappear into your room and pull out a pink and purple stripped scarf. This is exactly what was missing.

Returning to Rose, you step in front of her and wrap the scarf around her neck. Her lavender eyes (Those contacts seem to work well with her) meet yours and you both smile, sharing an unspoken conversation.

Time passes by quickly. Soon enough you two are enjoying your slices of pizza and are having a great time. You completely forget about replying to Vriska and by the time you do, it's 1:15 am. Rose has left and you're leaving your last reply to your family and Vriska before going to sleep.

- arachnidsGrip [AG] replied to grimAuxiliatrix [GA] 3 hours ago -

Vriska let out a care-free laugh and stepped forward, playfully poking Kanaya's cheek. "I was only kidding, Fussyfangs. There's no need to become so defensive about it, unless you really are a lesbian or something." Her voice was sarcastic once again, and she didn't seem to mind making fun of her new friend.

{It's ok I guess. I work at a local 8ar, so that's not too fun, 8ut it gives decent pay and sometimes the people are nice. I start work at 8, so I'll be gone then.}

- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] replied to arachnidsGrip [AG] 1 second ago -

Kanaya's whole face was tinted green by now. Her? A Lesbian? What a joke. She is as straight as a pole and is content staying like that. Even the thought of being bi sent chills down her back. "I could never enter a relationship like that." She manages through gritted teeth, not acknowledging the fact that she was being called Fussyfangs again. "Now, it is very late." She turned her back to the woman and picked up her murder weapon. "I bid you a goodnight, Vriska." Not bothering to say anything else, the grey troll walked toward the trees and disappeared into the night.

{A Bar? That Sounds... Interesting. Well, It Is Very Late For Me So I Will Be Going To Bed Now. Have Fun At Work, Vriska.}


"Hey lady! Send another few Budweiser's down!" A clearly intoxicated man shouts to you, while you were already juggling four orders of drinks to a group of fake girls who were giggling like fools and kept commenting on your odd look. Taking a deep breath in as an attempt to calm yourself down, you give the man a thumbs up indicating that you heard him.

This was the terrible part of your job. The men were just downright rude and the woman never stop making fun of you. You've only gotten into three bar fights which were never started by you, but you've come close to loosing your job because of them. The only good part of working at this bar was that you get free drinks.

After dealing with the girls who continued to point at you and snicker, you hand the beers to the men on the other end of the counter. They snatched the drinks from your hands eagerly and gave you a few flirty comments before you avert your attention to some more orders. It really is amazing how some men seem to hit on you, but then again they are drunk off their ass and don't really know what you look like because of their blurred vision.

Your co-worker is Gamzee Makara, a guy who is higher than a plane almost 24/7 and tends to overuse the word "motherfucker." Still, he was nice and even though he was high he was still sane and saw that you were struggling. "Yo, Motherfucker, why don't you go take a quick break in the alley or something? You seem to be stressing out. I'll handle these motherfuckers."

You would have jumped the chance if one of the drunk men had not overheard what Gamzee called them. "What'd ya call me, bastard?" The guy growls and slams his half empty glass of beer down on the counter, causing the glass to shatter in his hand and flowing over the counter. You'll have to clean that up later.

"I called you a motherfucker, motherfucker." Gamzee says in a chill voice, a clown-like smile taking over his face.

"I thought ya did. Ya know what happens to fuckers who call me names?" The angered man asks as he stands up out of his stool and pulls back a fist.

Stepping in the middle of the fight wasn't the best idea you've had, but it seemed like the right thing to do. Gamzee is good to you, so you might as well stand up for him.

"Alright, fuck ass. Why don't you and your little friends scurry out of this bar before I call the cops on you? Unless you want to bring a girl with a robotic arm that can rip your arm out of it's socket into the fight!" Your voice was filled with complete venom, and as intimidating as you are, you fail.

The man sent his fist flying your way and it makes contact with your left shoulder. That kinda sucks for him. "Yo, motherfucker," Gamzee places a hand on your right shoulder to pull you out of the way of another punch. "go call the cops. I'll take care of the motherfuckers."

And that's what you did. Ten minutes later the cops are taking this drunk guy to jail and are sending his friends home. You thank Gamzee for taking care of them and he only seems to shrug the comment off. He offers you a ride back to your apartment which you take and before you know it, you're sending your last message of the night in the rp world and proceed to go to sleep.

A slight smile crossed Vriska's lips and she gently sucked on her spiderbite piercing. "What and interesting girl..." She murmurs and glances up at the night sky with her one good eye. "We'll cross paths again I can assure you of that, Kanaya Maryam..."


Did you guys like the first chapter? I mentioned how Rose and Kanaya live in London, but I myself am not from there so anything I get wrong is because well... I have no knowledge on that country. Reviews are encouraging because then I know you guys want to see where this goes! Favorites and alerts are great too!
