So you lot and myself are not lost on who has what blood.

Chapter 1:

As the Alternian sky began to shower down meteors, Terezi stared up to see her hive about to be impacted. Where did everything go so poorly? What was causing certain doom to be faced? Why was the author asking you this despite you clearly knowing where I was going with this?

Going back a few days before the apocalyptic event, six sweep old Terezi Pyrope was gleefully organizing her chalk collection. She had received a bunch of new colors, and delicious red, from her matesprit, but he will never tell, earlier that day. As a mutant, her blood was not on the Hemospectrum. While this wasn't a terribly dangerous thing, she knew how the system worked. Those with lowblood were taken care of and coddled by higher blood castes. She didn't think she could stand this treatment! Disguising herself as an Orange Blood, she could barely tolerate the treatment at THAT level. Suffice to say, Her Motherly Dolorosa wasn't a bad leader. She just probably cared for her people more than necessary.

Her husktop messaged her while she was still organizing her chalk and, looking over, she grinned noticing who was trolling her. Hopping over to the husktop, she spun in her chair a bit before responding.

") (-EY! T-EREZI! Are you t) (ere? I need to tell you something, it's R-EEL Important!"

"Y4H Y4H 1M H3R3. WH4TS UP P31X3S?"

"O) ( my GLUB! IT'S AMAZING! Kanaya is getting all our fronds toget) (er for a big game! I'm so nervous I can't stop smiling! 8:D"

"4 G4M3? DO YOU KNOW WH4T K1ND OF GAM3?"

"No, sorry, s) (e didn't say. Actually, s) (e said it was made by Sollux." She put a little heart at the end of her sentence.

"BL3H, 1 C4N'T B3L13V3 F1SH F4C3 1S YOUR M4T3SPR1T3."

"T) (at's not nice. 8:( SOLLUX IS SO CUT-E!"

"YOU 4ND YOUR F1SH…W3LL K33P M3 POST3D WH3N 1T ST4RTS."

"Sea you soon Terezi!"

Terezi believed Feferi to be a good kid. She just wished she had better taste in men. Her addiction to fish was unhealthy and she felt if Sollux wasn't a sea-dweller that Feferi wouldn't care too much about him, which would be perfect. While the thought of matesprits were on her mind, Terezi supposed she could shirk her organizing a little longer to bug 'hers'.

"H3Y K4RKL3S, WH4TS UP?"

"NOWS NOT A GOOD TIME TEREZI."

"W3LL HOW RUD3."

"NO, DON'T PULL THAT. YOU KNOW I DON'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!"

"H3H3H3, 1 KNOW. 1 JUST LOV3 M3SS1NG W1TH YA SOM3T1M3S. SO WHY C4NT YOU T4LK?"

"I'M TRYING TO HELP OUT SOMEONE'S LUSUS. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S ALRIGHT. I DON'T NEED IT DYING ON ME."

"K4RK4T, WH4T H4PP3N3D TO YOUR LUSUS W4SN'T YOUR F4ULT…"

"LIKE HELL IT WASN'T! I FUCKED UP! I KILLED HER! I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN, EVER!"

As Karkat ceased trolling Terezi, she slumped in her seat. Back when Karkat was just three sweeps, his lusus was lying in his lawn ring dead. Apparently another lusus with some savage disorder had come by and killed her. Karkat blamed himself for not being there when it happened to protect his 'mother'. It was really a sad story as time moved on, because Karkat didn't. She decided to go back to organizing her chalk collection for the time being, wondering what this game Feferi mentioned was.
