[MESS HALL]
[When Dave messaged Terezi about the SORD..... being stuck in a toilet, Terezi had been overcome with the looming feeling of dread that she was next. What stupid creation that she'd alchemized in her youth would come back to haunt her? The FOLLY OF H3R OWN HORR1FY1NGLY S1NC3R3 HUBR1S had a lot of unbelievably moronic skeletons in its closet.
So, when all she found was a package of chalk in her ablutionblock cabinet and a user manual for the food replicators under her nug cushion, she counted herself lucky. Things could have been so much worse. Thank you, shitty screaming space ghosts. Thank you for taking pity on her.
Manual: OPEN
Tools: ACQUIRED
Now she's in the mess hall, getting ready to throw down with one of these dodgy pieces of shit. She is here to fix replicators and chew bubblegum, and she doesn't have any bubblegum because the replicators are too fucked to make her any!!!
Too bad these instructions doesn't make any fucking sense.
She's pried the front panel open and set it aside, exposing its guts of wires and parts. Every tool Terezi could find, wheedle, or borrow is neatly laid out before her on a towel. She doesn't know what half of these are for or if they're even going to be useful, but better safe than sorry.
She takes a deep whiff of the innards of the machine, fixing the colors in her mind, and consults the manual. Unfortunately, it's like an automotive repair book: technically, it tells you everything you need to know about fixing your car. Unfortunately, you need to already know how to fix your car to get the most out of it. Double unfortunately, Terezi has never been elbow-deep in robo guts in her entire life.
This is going to be an Ordeal.
She takes another sniff at the replicators and in the most wondering, amazed voice, she says:]
I have... no idea what the fuck is happening in here.
[HALLWAYS]
[It's been such a long time since Terezi has had some good Alternian chalk. Sure, the fact that they're dyed with wiggler blood is pretty fucked up, but it lends a certain... je ne sais quois to the quality. The smoothness of the lines. The lack of dust. The vibrancy of the taste! You can't get much better than this. She needs to stretch her creative wings and fly, you know?
There's all sorts of chalk drawings on the walls: a map of the much beloved Can Town, the soft pastels of her home forest, an incredibly shitty and elaborate dragon, and the courtroom of the troll justice system that is clearly the centerpiece of her work.
With the reluctance of a dog being told not to eat the cupcake that's just fallen on the ground, Terezi pulls the bright cherry red chalk from her maw and gets back to work on His Honorable Tyranny. No court is complete without a horrifying monster to act as judge over the proceedings and threaten to eat all the criminals, as well as the lawyers.]

[It's probably rude to point out this system is really dumb and bad but he thinks that's fine enough.]

Part of it's just how I was raised. Monsters and cranky beasts are just sort of the norm! Honestly, the idea of adults raising their young is still kind of whack to me.

[She knew about the Condesce making her way across sessions, but this is news to her. Or maybe she was told and forgot? Just what happened in other kids' clown fiesta of a universe??]
Sorry, hold up! I'm gonna need to back up just a bit. There were lusii on Earth?

[Why isn't Dirk here to explain this? He's so much better at it than Jake is. But he wants to try for her.]
But Dirk said eventually, the Batterwitch would replace all guardians with them. She bred a spaceship full of them. But I guess since at the time, she wasn't the head honcho of the world, she just kind of... dumped them all on my island. There were oodles of types. I don't even think I could list all of them from how many there were.

[Whoa. Okay. So the condesce made it to their universe, and... wanted to take it over? Sure. That sounds like her. Nice of her to save all those Alternian animals, she guesses. But to replace the human way of life with the trolls'?]
But I thought lusii don't take to other species! Hell, I don't know why they even bother to care for trolls. Why would she think she could make them bond to humans?
no subject
[It super did not work out.]
She tried out those colour-coded blood shenanigans too.
no subject
[This is it. Her Imperious Condescension, dread ruler of the troll empire for millennia upon millennia, reaching as far back as recorded history would allow, was an absolute moron.]
