Time for some hate, with a very interesting pair.
Comments and critique are always welcome!
You hate her so much.
It's a sick, well-cultivated hate, made raw by your confinement, your proximity to that bitch. She wouldn't get it. She'd think you were made to hold grudges against her. After all, it was only messing around, right? Just a bit of fun! It'd suck soooooooo much if it ended their friendship!
Yeah, sure. Pushing Tavros off a cliff and breaking his spine was only messing around. Blinding Terezi was just a bit of fun. Using you to kill Aradia, your best friend in the world, shouldn't be something to end a friendship over.
Hah.
You promised to never strike back, like all the other times. You promised not to get involved. But you can do far, far better than that. You're Sollux Captor, code whizz and motherfucking psionic. If you can't find a way to break her down from afar, no-one can.
You keep your thoughts to yourself when you're near her. You can't trust her or her stupid mind powers. When you're working in the same room as her, you keep your mind on other things. Not on the humans, they're a waste of time. You think about Alternia, or Aradia, or about your next feelings jam with Feferi. But when you're alone, or with those less gifted (most of the others, to be frank), you plot and plan and stew your blackness some more.
Eventually, your obsession with binary helps you make a plan based on two other people – the John human, blissfully unaware of her crimes, and Tavros "useless" Nitram, who is apathetic to them.
Time to make her pay.
You message the John human, and send him the logs of her taunting and gloating after each crime. Bit by bit, inch by inch, you make him see how bad she is, how dangerous she could be. It's like drawing blood out of a stone – this kid is too nice – but in the end he agrees that she's a threat. You throw in a plea not to tell her who sent the logs, to seem desperate. He falls for it.
One – nil.
Tavros is harder to use as an asset, and for a while you're stumped. It's a few days before you find something you can use. You didn't expect that, to be frank, but it's not like he's Eridan when it comes to quadrants, and the fact that it is who it is will drive her wild. You carefully hack in, grab a few choice quotes and slip out again, leaving no trace.
Two – nil.
You leave a little present for Vriska on her account's desktop. Again, there's no trace. You've made sure she can't pin it on you for any reason. You've even dropped your typing quirk for this, and that feels as odd as hell but it's worth it in the end.
You relish her twin shrieks of rage and horror. One when she reads the logs you've left for her to read. Another when, after a lengthy, frenzied typing session, the John human blocks her.
Oh yes, you made her pay alright.
Tav gets some flak for a few days. For some reason, he doesn't crumple like he would have done back in the game. Instead, he ignores her, keeps doing what he's doing. This infuriates her more. It's not long before she finds out the culprit regardless, and when she storms towards you, you're prepared to die, maybe.
It comes as a relief when she almost bites your bottom lip off in a hatekiss.
"I'll make you pay," she hisses.
"Looking forward to it," you growl back.
