First Impressions

(your perspective)

Your name is [f/n/l/n] and you are probably the most exited person on the face of the planet.
You are finally going to meet your friends for real! You have met some before, but all of them at once? Epic!

You are literally shaking with excitement! Your Moiral Vriska is going to be there! And your to-be Matesprite Gamzee, you agreed to make it official when everyone was together. Sollux, your kismesiss will be there too. The only thing you are not looking forward to is Eriden. You would probably need about five auspistices for that creep. More on that later.

You step onto the transporter as soon as your watch turns '8:00 pm.' which was the chosen time (much influence by Vriska). After a moment in the sensation of the teleport, you are greeted by an empty room.

Your heart drops. No one showed. What?!

Wait, there is a sound behind you, you turn to see Gamzee pop out of one of the many teleporters that are scattered around the room. You run over and tackle-hug him, squealing in excitement.

"Gamzee! you're here!" you cry excitedly.

"I wanted to come motherfucking early, so i could up and see you!" he said, getting up off the floor and lightly pushing you off.

"Early?" you question. It was 8:00! You check your Pesterchum on your eye piece, and sure enough, Karkat's shouting letters are commanding you too be here at 8:30.

You smile and make yet another mental note to check your messages more frequently. Then you turn to Gamzee, and hug him, softer this time. He pulls you tighter and you look up into his face, his lazy smile, his newly applied clown make-up, the half open eyes giving him the usual relaxed expression.

You love it all. You go up on your tip-toes and peck his cheek. He laughs a bit and leans down to kiss you. You love kissing him, he was a soft kisser. Nothig like your kismesiss Sollux, who's teeth always cut your lips.

Like usual, the kiss was over all too soon. You reflect his lazy smile back up at him, then surprise him by suddenly pulling him down to the floor. You sit and talk with him for half an hour before people start to show.

First was Karkat, who was yelling angrily into his mobile husktop.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HALF AN HOUR LATE? WE ESTABLISHED THE TIME A WEEK AGO!" he shouted.

You laugh. "Hey Karkles, who's gonna be late?" you ask. He looks up, pressing the end call button on his wristband.

"TAVROS SAID HIS FOUR-WHEEL-DEVICE ROLLED DOWN THE RAMP TO HIS RECUPERACOON." Karkat seethed. "NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE LATE!"

You never thought Karkat cared so much about time punctuation.

"Tav-bro could be having dome real motherfucking troubles." said Gamzee, "Doesn't he al up and need his motherfucking merical chair?"

Karkat sighed heavily, was about to say something, but was interupted by another troll teleporting in. It was Kanaya, she had picked out a nice dress for the occasion. It was White with Jade ribbons around the waist, and neck. On the small of her back was a pink flower from which ribbons hung down. You gazed at the dress, transfixed by the awesome fashion.

"Greetings, I see I came before the majority of the group." she said in her Alternian accent.

"Hey, Kanaya." you say, snapping out of the fashion hypnosis, "I love your dress."

"This?" she said, disgusted "I think its hardly adequate for the joyus occasion."

You look at Gamzee and you both break out into giggles, earning an evil look from Kanaya.

"Well if you imbeciles are finished laughing, we could get going with this reunion." she snapped. You and Gamzee shut up as the next troll teleported in.

"wwell, lets get this ovver with." The unmistakeable accent made you wince. This was going to be a long reunion. Luckily, your friends started trickling in faster.

Equius and Nepeta came in at almost the same time, Terezi came right after. Vriska teleported in, the same smug smile plastered on her face as usual. After came Feferi followed by Aradia and Sollux. Everyone but Tavros was crammed in the room.

You leap up and hug Vriska, her smug smile lightening a bit.

"Heeeeeeeey [y/n]! what's up? still LARPing?" She laughed, returning the hug. You were literally the only one she actually hugged, other than Terezi.

"Hi Vrisky! I've been good! And I'll LARP to the end of time!" you laugh as you do the handshake that you two came up with sweeps ago.

"Awesome!" said Vriska, then she got serious, She leaned down to whisper in your ear, "Has your Lusus died yet?" she asked

You nod slowly, your head drooping at the sad subject. Vriska grabbed your shoulders and fixed your posture.

"Its supposed to be fun! remember? They are gonna be sprites!" She made up for your usual optimesim whenever you were sad. And that wasn't a lot.

You smile and break away as you both turn to greet someone else. To your stupid luck, you face Eriden. You give each other looks that could kill more than the vast glub, then stalk off to other sides of the room.
