Characters: Joey Claire + Xefros Titroh
Pairing: Platonic
Description: Hear me out, Xefros and Joey with a big sibling troll darling, that is like, doing their every needs, helping them, giving them gifts, and anything! Really.
- Eridan Anon
Alright, sure! I haven't seen Act 2 so this is just me doing a general take.
"Soft Yandere!" Platonic! Joey Claire + Xefros Tritoh with Sibling Troll! Darling
Pairing: Platonic - Sharing
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Overprotective behavior, Clingy behavior, You're just looking after them, Soft yanderes, Dubious companionship.
Tumblr media
There's no doubt on a planet like Alternia the two are going to need help from others.
Especially since Joey is vulnerable as an alien.
Sibling relationships are not a common thing in troll culture.
You yourself have no real clue about it.
Let's say you're an older troll who is also secretly working with Dammek for a rebellion.
As a result you are considered an ally, Xefros most likely even knows you and sees you as safe.
You could be a Lowblood, Midcaste, or Highblood it doesn't entirely matter.
Either way you obviously hide your favoritism towards rebellion against the current Fuchsia Blood and Alternian society.
It surprises you when Xefros meets up with you and brings an alien.
An alien is already bad news and could bring a lot of attention so you certainly try your hardest to conceal Joey for Xefros.
After listening to the situation you agree to hide/aid the two.
You even make an effort to know more about Joey as you already know Dammek's Moirail, Xefros.
You learn that she's a human and goes by Joey Claire.
She seems nervous around you at first but you try your best to treat her kindly.
As an older troll you do end up taking on a "sibling" role.
You learn of such a concept through Joey who ended up calling you such a thing by accident.
She says she has a younger brother at home... not that you know what that means.
The two certainly become attached to you, after all you're putting your own life on the line to keep them safe.
You do your best to get them whatever they need.
You learn of human customs from Joey and try to build Xefros' confidence due to his lost Moirail.
Joey definitely tries to educate both you and Xefros on the concept of siblings.
You don't hate the concept, honestly.
You allow the two to use your Hive as a hideout and give tips on how not to get caught.
You even give them items and gifts to defend themselves and stay hidden.
You are very concerned about Joey and Xefros.
Not only is Xefros a Rust Blood but Joey is an alien.
The two could easily be culled if you don't help.
This isn't a very intense yandere concept, I'm going to be honest.
The two are mostly just clingy and overprotective of their new troll guide.
If other trolls gave you trouble both Joey and Xefros want to stand up to them for you.
You are quick to convince them otherwise for the sake of cover.
Taking care of them in general is considered odd to other trolls so you even try to hide that.
Xefros begins to see you as something he can't quite describe, he has a Moirail but he guesses he can see you as a friend or guardian?
Joey just simply sees you as a sibling, even if you don't know the concept.
You are a form of comfort to them.
You've done so much for them.
Joey even has a more convincing troll costume due to you.
You give the both of them weapons to use, even if Joey hesitates at first.
You have to remind them that this is Alternia, you have to do whatever you can to survive.
At your Hive you make them comfortable.
You find it odd how they both sleep without a recuperacoon but let it slide. (Joey you get... but Xefros? Was that Dammek's idea?)
If anything you are the most protective of them.
Their yandere behavior just makes them clingy, while Xefros is also eager to please, but you are the main protector.
The dynamic you have is more like you looking after two younger kids, like a parent/Lusus.
You want to keep them alive in happy.
In return the two want to do the same.
Soon they'll find a way to repay the favor.
After all, you're in danger too, aren't you?
So why don't you all stick together?
They don't want to leave you alone... plus isn't there safety in numbers?

Once again thank you to my girlie @candy12110 for co-writing/editing with me for the rest of the story!
let's pretend the drones didn't blow up the train, M'kay?
Rating:: 13+ // Teen
Fandom:: Homestuck
Themes/Kinks:: None
Tumblr media
Chixie sat on the floor of the train car, her anxiety rattling her just a bit. She had already been worried because of Zebruh, but seeing a purpleblood on the platform made it skyrocket. Her thinkpan was throbbing just imagining dealing with more highbloods at Jeevik week. Though, she wouldn't let the daunting thoughts ruin this for her. A week-long train ride might be the only time she could actually relax, despite the noise of the crowded car.  The universe was clearly moving things around for her.
 She had even made two new friends on the platform, a bronze blood, Joey, and a burgundy blood, Xefros. They were both nice enough, but what amazed her was when Joey just walked up to Marvus. She quickly turned her head the minute she saw her walk up to him. She expected to hear screaming, the sound of bodyguards or drones rushing in to defend the clown. So it came as a surprise when she heard none of that, but instead heard him talking to them. He seemed to be actually enjoying their company. Even weirder he appeared to be helping them, he didn't even ask for anything in return. Part of her wanted to believe he was doing all this with good intentions, but she was still skeptical. She'd had one too many fake friends, most of whom were highbloods, take everything from her. From her music to her whole persona as an artist, the only reason it hadn’t happened a lot recently was cause of Zebruh, and he was the fakest, horniest, “friend” she’d ever had. It was purely by the grace of Troll Jesus that he was such a simp she could just flatter him and get out of anything physical. Though she knew that won’t work forever, and that only added to her nervousness. 
She needed this protest to go well, she wanted…no- needed people to recognize her for who she was and not just the indigo who promotes her. And if she dies, then fuck it, at least she went out speaking her truth. She’d honestly rather get culled than have to spend another second with Zebruh. She was broken out of her anxious thoughts by the sound of her palmhusk going off. She checked her notifications to see messages from her favorite burgundy blood friend…and Zebruh. She stalled for a few seconds to decide whose message to answer first before. She chose to check Zebruh’s first to keep him from ruining whatever good mood Red would put her in::
THECODAKKEFFECT:: Hey do you want me to bring you to the indigo car? I know the lowblood cars can be pretty crowded! You can sit on my lap and stay in my room if you want!❤️
Chixie grimaced at the thought of having to have any more physical contact with him.She swiftly texted back::
Chixie:: No thanks. I found a seat so I'm fine!
She tried to be as calm and direct as she could, it was already taking all her strength not to completely go off at him. She was so tired of talking to him, she really thought he was done for the week. She assumed that with all the purple bloods and other blue bloods around he wouldn't have the energy to bother her but of course, she was wrong. He's still just as horny as ever and behaving like an absolute oinkbeast.
She heard the device ping again, but she didn’t bother to read it. She already knew he would just whine and beg until she caved in. She finally turned her attention to the message of Red::
R3dSplatter:: I’m on the train now! I’m helping out my matesprit in the teal and jade blood car. 
She cocked her head at the device. A burgundy with a midblood matesprit? 
Now, Chixie didn’t care or pay much attention to the hemospectrum when it came to quadrants, but that sounded highly unlikely, bordering on unbelievable. Jades never left the caverns and Teals never got into any relationships that didn't benefit them. Unless this relationship with Red's matesprit was of the Zebruh variety where they're being completely taken advantage of, it felt impossible.
Chixie:: Oh you have a matesprit…Are they nice to you?  R3dSplatter:: Of course, they're nice to me! They're my matesprit. Chixie:: No, I know. I just wanted to be sure. I'm also in contact with someone of a higher blood caste and they're not that great.   R3dSplatt3r:: Are they your matesprit?  Chixie:: Absolutely not! R3dSplatter:: Then why do you talk to them? Chixie:: I only stay near cause, right now, he’s my ONLY means of making ends meet. He's the only thing keeping me from losing all my gigs at this point. And he's a critic so he could ruin my whole career, if he wanted. But besides that, he's a skeevy creep that hits on every lowblood troll he ever meets. R3dSplatter:: Sounds like a real pain in the ass. You must really hate him. Chixie:: I do, Highbloods aren't all that great to be around for trolls like us. Sorry if I was being insensitive about your matesprit but I've seen what happens when a lowblood is in a relationship with a highblood. It's not pretty. R3dSplatter:: Don’t worry, I’ve seen it too. I can promise you they’re the sweetest I’ve ever met. But if I had to deal with someone like that, I’d be cautious too. Chixie:: That’s why I need this performance to go well, if everything works out at Jeevik Week, maybe I can finally move on from him! R3dSplatter:: I wish you the best, You deserve only greatness.
The bronzeblood felt her face grow warm at that comment, but something still didn’t feel right about all this. A voice in her thinkpan kept telling her something was off about Red but she just couldn't figure out what it was. She didn't hate or distrust them, in fact, they were the nicest troll she'd ever met. It didn't feel like they were only being nice because they wanted something from her but she kept doubting what they told her. It just felt like someone that was either really naive or hadn't experienced the terror of Alternia yet. And knowing what she knew there was no way someone of an even lower blood caste than her could be protected from the horrors of this planet for long. Even newborn grubs didn't get that privilege, let alone someone around her age. 
Chixie tried to not think about it anymore. Red had been the most supportive friend she'd made and they weren't looking to hurt or pail her. Why ruin such a pure relationship with hypothetical and vague doubts? 
Chixie:: Thank you! How about we meet up later? I'd be happy to meet your matesprit as well!
She closed the messages and put her palm husk away. No more interruptions and no more stress. A week of no Zebruh and no stress. Just her, the fifty other trolls in the car, and her thoughts.
**
Chixie's body was going to ache for weeks. The train had sped up out of nowhere, forcing her to hold on to the chair leg for dear life as a pile of bodies lined the back of the car. Miraculously, she was alive despite the violent speed of the train. If she were any weaker she would've splattered like a wriggler on the cavern floors, luckily, she only got whiplash. Unfortunately, she had no lodgings for the now week-long stay until Jeevik week started. Even worse, Zebruh survived and asked if she would like to share a hivetel room with him. She whipped out her palmhusk faster than Troll Usain Bolt to ask Cridea about accommodations. Cridea answered her, there was potential free lodging for performers. She, of course, took it in a heartbeat, she would do anything to avoid sharing a room with Zebruh. That reminded her she needed to check on Red, maybe Xefros, and Joey too.
Chixie:: Red are you okay? I hope you didn't get hurt on the train.
Chixie texted but received no answer. She waited a few minutes before she actually got worried.
Chixie:: Red are you good? You're worrying me. Please answer me.
Chixie started to panic, frantically texting her missing friend. Someone bumped into her, breaking her out of it. She took a deep breath and stopped herself. It was entirely possible Red was just busy with their matesprit or even could've lost their palm husk in the struggle. She decided to just keep calm. She had to perform in a week and wasn’t about to stress herself even more. She would take a walk to get her mind off of things.
She wandered around the concert venue and the various dressing rooms. To her surprise, the lowblood dressing rooms were pretty nice, at least compared to other places she performed. Despite being fully furnished, they were very spacious, there was even a food storage unit! Chixie put up her costumes and backup gear before going to look at herself in the vanity mirror. She's been waiting for an opportunity like this for a long time, and it still felt unreal that it was coming to fruition. She looked at herself for a few seconds more before taking a breath and turning with a skip in her step, walking to the door. Because they arrived so early she had time to take in the sites and actually enjoy herself. She opened the door, excited to look around, only to see a cluster of different casted trolls screaming and crowding around something. She was curious as to what was going on, and that’s when she noticed the lopsided horns and clown makeup. It was that Marvus guy again.
The bronzeblood instinctively narrowed her eyes to the exit, doing her best not to glance at him for even a second. Over the many sweeps she'd been alive she'd perfected the art of avoiding being on any highblood's radar. Unfortunately, her only and biggest failure to date was her meeting with Zebruh, that bastard could smell a lowblood from 50 miles away. Hopefully, the purpleblood wasn't as chronically horny for lowbloods as he was, so she could get by without getting sucked into the crowd and moshed to death. She moved along the wall as fast as she could, pushing past anyone in her way, and apologizing profusely while doing so. She jerked back when a hand grabbed her arm, and she spun around to face an excited olive blood.
"Hey! Can you take a picture of me with Marvus real quick?" She asked excitedly. It was more of a demand, but Chixie was too panicked to even care. She froze immediately, desperately wanting to say no, but this fan seemed awfully young and excited, borderline pushy.
"S-s-sure?" Chixie squeaked out. The olive blood squealed and shoved her palmhusk into her hands. She scrambled to grasp it before it could fall and break, potentially bringing her more pain than she was already going through.
Chixie held onto the device as if her life depended on it which, knowing how fierce olives tend to be, it just might. They both made their way to the middle of the clump, where the clown stood. Chixie did her best to avoid looking at him directly but her nerves were already on fire from being so close to so many trolls of a higher caste than her. She couldn't help but notice Marvus's eyes constantly flickering towards her in between sending smiles and waving at his fans. Why did she have to catch the attention of so many damn highbloods, and the day wasn't even over yet. She should've known only bad things would happen the second she left her dressing room and saw the same purple pecs that Zebruh was so obsessed with.
The small olive gasped and gawked as she walked up to him. She started going on about how much she loved him, how she wanted to be as rich and famous as him one day, prolonging the bronze girl’s torture. Luckily, Marvus eventually cut her off and offered to take a picture with her. It was like he had already heard the entire exchange and was just trying to move things along so Chixie could leave faster. If she didn't already know no highblood would be kind enough to care about her comfort, she would cry in thanks to him.
He scooped the olive girl up into his arms, giving his widest smile. It took Chixie a second to fully calm her nerves and take the picture. But, after the flash went off no more than twice Marvus immediately let go of the olive and moved on to the next person, leaving the girl just enthralled enough to take her palmhusk from Chixie without complaint, or a “thank you” for that matter. She immediately dived out of the crowd the second the device left her hand and jetted out of the hall. She didn't stop running until she was outside and could no longer hear the clatter of all of Marvus's fans.
She found herself panting and wheezing for air. She felt like throwing up, just barely managing to keep it in, when she felt a hand pat her on the back.
“Are you okay?”, a familiar voice said to her. She turned her head to see Joey, with Xefros standing behind her, both equally concerned.
“Ye-yeah I’m fine,” She said as she slowly straightened her posture. 
How embarrassing. 
Running into her newest friends only to be caught dry heaving outside.
“Just a bit…nervous.” She fidgeted with her fingers a bit, her nerves still rattling.
"Are you sure? We can go get something to drink to settle your stomach," Joey offered, offering her arm to Chixie in assistance.She wrapped her arm around Joey’s to settle herself.
“No, no! I’m Okay really!” 
"Hmmm- oh! We have some cookies! Maybe eating that will help?" She happily offered. It was becoming clearer to Chixie that Joey wasn’t gonna give up till she was one hundred percent okay. Which she admired deeply, she just really wasn’t used to being treated like this, by…anyone really. She settled on eating a few cookies, she actually hadn’t eaten anything all day. She wasn't expecting to be offered food either so this was a welcome change. She can now say she doesn't completely regret coming outside. Joey looked at the slight smile on Chixie's as she ate the cookie and sent a quick look to Xefros that he exasperatedly nodded to. She put on a gentle grin before looking back at Chixie.
"Hey, do you want to join us? We're looking around cause we've never been here before. We would love for you to tag along,"  Joey said with a friendly smile.
Chixie became extremely flustered. She had been referring to them as her friends in her head but she didn't expect them to actually want to spend time with her. 
Stress-free time spent with people that actually liked her for who she was and not what she could do for them? This was very very new to her, and she loved it. She tripped over her tongue for a bit before shutting her mouth and nodding rapidly.
"I'd love to hang out with you two!" She could see it now. No judgment, no expectations, no getting ordered around or felt up. It would be glorious. 
"Great, let's go!”Joey immediately grabbed her hand and Xefros’s and with a skip in her step, they were off exploring the various vendors and pre-shows.

btw, all trolls are bi/pansexual. its shown when karkat doesnt know what a homosexual is when john says he isnt one in page 2628 and when xefros suggests joey should flirt back with elwurd due to elwurd having obvious feelings joey but joey says that she isnt a lesbian and xefros doesnt know what that means and is confused on what that is or how that factors into anything. um. you might already know this but i just want you to know this incase you dont so that you dont accidentally delete requests like kanaya x karkat or something
hussie confirmed in a formspring that kanaya is a lesbian

this is from the unofficial homestuck collections archive of andrew hussies formpsring accounts since im not going to go digging through the internet archive. the tuhc link is /formspring/question163272621666887208

ooh! if you’re taking requests, can i get some zebruh experiencing quadrant confusion for joey’s (gn) older human friend who also ended up on alternia with her, and who people often joke is her lusus? thank you! <3
OOOO SOME ZEBRUH REQUESTS VERY GOOD❤️💙♠️❤️💙♠️ Ofc I can! >:3
Zebruh x Reader: Whose your friend?
Tumblr media
Ah there she was again, Zebruh pondered, seeing the lowblood walking by herself for once. He usually saw that other rustie with her, they seemed like they had a hivemind or something sense the rust blood always leaned on Joey or be behind them. But Oh- wait no Joey wasn’t alone! She seemed to have her lusus with her! Might be a good time to make a good impression on Joey’s parent.
You saw how uncomfortable Joey got for some reason as this indigo troll walked up to the both of you. Maybe they’ve met before?
“H-hi Zebruh…” Joey mumbled
“❤️Hello dear, how are you this evening?❤️”
Joey shrugged messing with her sweatshirt, the indigo, called Zebruh, then turned to you with the same smile he had
“♦️And hello to you too miss, mr, either or, of Joey, it’s a pleasure♦️” Zebruh bowed slightly to you making your face scrunch up in confusion
“What?” You asked to which Zebruh looked like he saw a ghost
“♣️Good heavens Joey!! Your lusus can speak?? How fascinating…♣️”
Joey snorted breaking out into a small laugh before answering “Do you assume everyone with me or Xefros is my lusus?”
Zebruh huffed feeling somewhat offended, you giggled a bit, though you don’t know what a ‘lusus’ is you’re sure you’re not one
But The indigo then fixed his collar addressing you more like a person then someone’s mom
“♦️My apologizes sweetheart, you are a lovely troll! Joey here usually has people hiding behind her back so I wasn’t sure♦️”
You waved your hand at him with a small smile “It’s ok! I’m y/n”
“❤️It’s Zebruh, Zebruh Coddak❤️”
You both shook hands, though you noticed some blue tinting the trolls cheeks. Was he sick?
“❤️I have never seen you before, did you just come out to outglut?❤️”
You thought up a quick answer, Joey had told you that humans were considered ‘aliens’ on this planet and not really accepted. So, for the time being you had to pretend you knew what food trolls eat and where they sleep and what outglut was!
“Er yes yes! Just came out here to spend time with Jo here” you smiled at Joey, to which she still looked like she wanted to leave
“♦️ah yes, she’s quite popular isn’t she?♦️”
You shrugged, He didn’t seem that bad, he had a cute ponytail you thought
Sweet Empress they were adorable! Zebruh couldn’t tell what their caste was, they didn’t seem to wear it on her clothes or have any color of it, or maybe they did? Whatever, it didn’t really matter at the moment to him. Gosh they had the most beautiful eyes too…His blood pumper was going so fast in his chest he thought it was gonna explode
“I uh, I like your suit!” The unknown caste troll said with a seeming genuineness to it. Zebruh puffed his chest out proudly putting his hands on his hips
“❤️❤️why thank you kindly! It was custom made by a teal fashion designer for a lot of ceagars, gosh you don’t wanna know how much❤️❤️” He chuckled
The troll nodded, though they seemed a bit puzzled. Maybe they was like Joey in that way? Maybe they didn’t get out much?
Though you were enjoying the conversation, it seemed Joey really wanted to get going
“Well it was nice talking to you Zebruh! But we gotta get going.”
“♦️Ah of course, I wouldn’t want to keep you both from something. Want to add me on Chittr babe? We could talk more~♦️”
Zebruh hummed taking out his palm husk. You smiled at him, why not?
“Sure! I’ll write down your @ in my notes”
Zebruh beamed at you letting you type his username in as he told it to you.
Maybe you just made your first new troll friend?
Or more?~

Another Saturday Shipping poll!
This one came on second in my polls poll, so I figured I’d do it next.
This are ships that I like, but are either underrepresented in the fandoms I run in, or have much more popular ships involving these characters. Please don’t hate me for my taste.

Preferably wanting to roleplay on tumblr, but discord is okay too! Looking for someone semi-lit — literate and semi-active as well! Just leave a like if interested!

(we dont talk about being a system on our main basically ever. but our system blog is @forgetmenotsystem X:0)
Name of the headmate whom this call is for: Xefros Tritoh
Introject type: fictive
Source(s): hiveswap
Sourcemate(s) you are calling for: basically anyone but especially joey haha
Relation(s) to the sourcemate(s): um. well. we were friends! i kinda maybe had pale feelings for her a little and i think she had pale feelings for me also but i dont think we ever said it out loud because my moiral was on earth and i couldnt eXactly break up with him haha X:')
Any extra info you want the sourcemate(s) to know (memories, ages, etc.): my pseudomemories are really scattered and weird but ill try my best to think of ones that might be recognizable to someone. i had a letterman type jacket with my sign on it. i only really wore it sometimes but it was red and white and black. um. i beatboXed pretty well but i also sang sometimes. joey said that me needing an autotune mic was stupid because i already sounded good haha. oh! joey convinced me to get a horn piercing. mallek thought she was cool so he did it free of charge. i cried because i was worried about my horn cracking but she sat next to me and held my hand until it was done X:D its on my right horn near the base so i can hide it with my hair
Any other information or comments you wish to include: Our body age is 18, though Xefros presents around 15. We'd rather no one under 15 (body) answer! Xefros also has a typing quirk, but he's more than willing to drop it if asked. Most of the information here is written by Xefros himself, but I (host) helped supply some stuff ;^^ You can also ask for our discord via dms!
Hello!
If there’s anything you’d like us to add to (or take away from) the tags or body text just let us know! :)

The day had been great. Hanging out with Joey and Xefros was everything Chixie had wanted it to be. They tried a variety of snacks and treats from vendors, witnessed many terrible, albeit very short, mini-performances, and they even joined her during rehearsals. She was having a good time for once, that was until her palmhusk began to beep and vibrate. She got excited, hoping it was Red, and that they were okay, but of course, it was the indingdong.
She checked the message:
THECODAKKEFFECT:: Hello my bronzie-boo! Cridea’s still having them set up your room, but you’re more than welcome to stay with me til it’s ready! 
A shiver ran up her spine, this could not be happening. She stood there staring blankly at the text til Xefros put his hand on her shoulder.
“Hey, are you feeling sick again?” He said pulling out the snacks they had accumulated at various vendors.
“We have more snacks if you’re still hungry!” He put on his cheeriest smile trying to get her to relax. His friendly demeanor was enough to get her to snap out of it and even grin a bit.
“It’s just…They haven’t set up my room yet, and my “manager” is offering to let me stay in his room,” Chixie responded, setting her palmhusk on vibrate so she could pretend she never saw the message.
“Is that a bad thing?”
“You don’t know Zebruh-”
“Zebruh?! Your manager is Zebruh? Ugh, that’s gr- ahem I mean that’s gotta be tough,” Joey started but Xefros elbowed her. She corrected herself but Chixie could tell where that sentence was going and she agreed with it.
“He’s not really my manager but he’s too pushy and influential to say no to," 
"You know if you don’t wanna stay with him you can hang with us for the night?” She offered with the sweetest smile plastered on her face.
 “Oh- Y-you don’t have to-,” Chixie began but was swiftly interrupted by Joey.
“If you’re uncomfortable staying with him, you shouldn’t force yourself to,” She said, with a glint of concern in her eyes.
“Well…If it ain’t too much trouble for you. I’d appreciate it,” Chixie answered with a shy smile.
“No trouble at all,” Joey said and Xefros nodded in agreement. Joey hooked arms with of them, pulling them behind her down the street. 
They were passing a palmhusk repair station when she caught a flash of purple out of the corner of her eye. She turned to look and just barely caught sight of Marvus being handed back a palmhusk. Once again the tingling in the back of her thinkpan started up again. She still hasn’t heard from Red, and the “coincidental” ringing on the platform wasn’t helping, but that was impossible. What would a purpleblood need to impersonate a burgundyblood for? It was a waste of time to think about. She might as well focus on her new friends, rather than being paranoid and delusional that an extremely famous purpleblood is stalking her.
They continued walking till they came across an area outside the event. A lot of lowbloods couldn’t get hivetel rooms, so there were small campsites set up all over the event. Joey and Xefros led Chixie to a tent.
“This is where we’re staying. Do you have anything you need to get?”
“No. It can wait,” Chixie shook her head.
They decided to retire for the night, Chixie did have to meet with Cridea to discuss the changes in the schedule, due to them arriving so early. 
For the first time in a while, she went to bed happy instead of sad, scared, angry, or some combination of the three. She was surrounded by friends, in a safe space, and nothing loud or annoying in a 100-foot radius. Life was great.
**
“And that should be everything!” The chipper sea dweller said with a smile on her face.
Chixie was currently in a meeting with Cridea, doing her best to hide her nervousness. They had just discussed the schedule for her performance.
“N-not quite. I know we’re here a whole week earlier than we were supposed to be but when do you think we’ll have accommodations available?” Chixie asked as clearly and politely as she could.
“Oh! That totally needs to be addressed. Well…Because of the changes to the schedule, we’ll need at least another day to find the space to accommodate everyone. By tomorrow night rooms will be available for everyone!” Cridea explained. Chixie felt angry, but also kind of relieved. Sure she still didn’t have a room, which sucked, but at least she still had friends she could stay with in the meantime.
"O-okay. Thank you.”
They ended the meeting, leaving Chixie with a mountain of papers that was the revised schedule. She headed back to the campsite, doing her best to keep all the papers in order.
“Hey, guys! My room will be ready tomorrow and I’ll be free from Zebruh!” She cheered as she met up with Joey and Xefros. She’d agreed to meet them back at the tent with news of how everything went.
The three of them cheered and giggled. To celebrate, she decided to bring them to her dressing room to get an actual opinion on things.
They went through all her outfits, trying to decide which would be the best one to wear, and checking all her equipment. During the fun, she noticed the worry painted on Joey’s face.
“Are you sure you wanna go through with all this?” Xefros and Chixie looked back in confusion.
“What do you me-”
“Your protest, are you sure you wanna go through with it?” A heavy silence filled the room, before being broken by the bronzeblood.
“I have to go through with it…If I don’t I’ll be stuck with Zebruh forever. Even if I get culled, at least I’ll go out with a bang.” she gave a nervous chuckle, that did nothing to hide the fear in her voice. Joey walked over to her and grabbed both her hands.
“We won’t stop you if you think it’s the right thing to do…but please be careful.”
Chixie felt weird, someone showing concern for her was an alien experience. She wasn’t opposed to it. If the protest went well, she hoped it would make people show concern not just for her, but for all lowbloods.
She decided to go on stage to practice her dancing and footing, and Joey decided to join her. The two had fun, just going with the flow. It was all good until Chixie bumped into a troll standing behind her. She looked up to see the face of a very tall, and very displeased, indigo blood.
She immediately backed away and apologized. The indigo didn’t respond; he simply turned around and took the hand of another troll, helping them on the stage. It was a female clown, that Chixie could only assume was a purpleblood.
“We reserved this stage for Miss Dviyr’s rehearsal. So beat it!” He shoved both of them off the stage landing on the hard concrete of the venue. Xefros rushed from behind the curtain to help them.
“Are you guys okay!?” He asked as he gently helped them both up.
“I’m fine,” Joey responded by rubbing her arm to soothe it.
He looked over at Chixie, only to see her walking away, tears streaming down the corners of her face. Joey was tempted to go after and comfort her, but the burgundyblood stopped her.
“Give her some time…”
“But…”
He shook his head at her before speaking, “Trolls don’t like showing their emotions to people not in their quadrants, Joey. You could end up making it worse. Give her a chance to calm down.”
Joey sighed and just watched her wander off.
Chixie found herself back in her dressing room, still crying. She looked at herself in the mirror and began to wonder if any of this would be worth it. What was the point of doing something this grand, if it wouldn’t change anything? Her thoughts turned more and more nihilistic. 
Maybe coming here was a bad idea. 
Eventually, she calmed down a bit. She didn’t want to leave Xefros and Joey waiting on her. She left her dressing room, walking down the narrow hallway to the exit. The dressing rooms, like the train, and everything else on Alternia, were split by caste, Highblood rooms were closer to the entrance and stage. While lowblood rooms were further back. Chixie always got nervous walking through the highblood section. Lowbloods were allowed to walk through these sections, for the sake of making getting on and off stage easier. But, she still got a sick feeling in her gut when passed through them. She tried to keep her mind clear but was interrupted by the sound of voices. Looking over, she saw that one of the room doors was slightly open. She read the name, on the door plate. It was Marvus’s. She started to quicken her pace trying to get out of there without being noticed. But she heard something that made her stop in her tracks.
“When are you gonna quit playin’ with this bronzie?”
Her whole body froze the minute the words hit her, and her mind started to wander. Who were they talking about? What were they planning? The most daunting question on her mind was, Was she the bronzie in question? 
She carefully peaked in to see Marvus and a few other purebloods. A tall one with hair as messy as his, her pants and shoes were covered in blood, a dazed young troll with a mask on, and one troll, who appeared to be a runt. She did her best to remain undetected.
“Can you stay out of my conversations? You don’t see me quizzing you on the little indigoblood you’re sweet on, Chahut,” He said, sounding uncharacteristically agitated. 
“No, She’s clearly not that into you. She runs from you every time she sees you!”
“We vibe. Mind your own damn business. Look, she was clearly blowing up my line yesterday.” He held up his palmhusk to prove a point. Chixie’s eyes moved from Chahut to Marvu’s phone, she could vividly make out what looked like her and Red’s profile pictures.
Her fear was further validated when Marvus turned back to his palmhusk. He was clearly focused on coming up with a response. She took out her own and watched as the typing bubbles came up, proving it was indeed him she had been talking to.
“No, she was talking to the rusty you were pretendin’ to be. At least Amisia actually likes me! She doesn’t give a damn about you-” Chahut responded, rolling her eyes at his smugness.
“My relationship with her is none of your business.”
“Stop pretendin’ there’s some relationship there. It’s creepy. I’m starting to feel bad for the bronzie, with a stalker like you sticking to her.”
“I’m not a stalker. I’m gonna come clean eventually. Just not now. Maybe when I can get her a little more comfortable with the idea-”
“Of what? Getting pailed by a highblood? With that fame chaser clinging to her, I’m sure that’s all that she’s used to,” Chahut snickered and the other purplebloods laughed with her. Though the tiniest one made more of a confused honk sound rather than laughed.
“Fuck off. I’m not just interested in pailing her. I like her music too.” Marvus sneered at her. The other clowns roared in laughter again while Chahut gave him a disgusted look.
By the time he finished his sentence, she was already back in her dressing room panicking. Only seconds later her palmhusk went off and she received a series of messages from ‘Red’.
R3dSplatter:: Hey, sorry. I’m fine. My palmhusk got wrecked on the train. I only just got it fixed. R3dSplatter:: Were you worried? Sorry if you were. I’ve been with my matesprit waiting for it to get fixed.  R3dSplatter:: Is everything okay with you? I hope you didn’t get hurt or anything. R3dSplatter:: Seems like you’re busy. Message me when you’re free. I can’t wait to hear about how jeevik week has been for you so far.
She had to steel her nerves as she got out her palmhusk and read the messages. Her hands shook as she then messaged Joey and Xefros.
Chixie:: Guys…I think I’m gonna leave.  Dammarchy:: What’s wrong? Is it about what happened before? I’m sorry those jerks cut into your rehearsal but that’s no reason to just leave. Chixie:: No, it’s not that. I just found something out and it’s really messing me up. Dammarchy:: Chixie calm down! Where are you? We’ll come to you. Chixie:: it’s fine I don’t need you guys to deal with this. Just have fun, okay? Dammarchy:: We are coming to help. We’re your friends, we wanna help you. Just tell us where you are. Chixie:: I’m in my dressing room. I’m in the middle of packing up.
A knock on her door spooked her a bit. She went to open it, she felt her frown grow more and more. Zebruh in all his annoyingness was standing in front of her. 
“Hello darling,” He barged in past her, seemingly oblivious to how upset she was.
“How’s my favorite superstar feeling?” 
“I’m leaving.” She responded bluntly going back to putting her costumes in her bag. 
“What do you mean leaving? You can’t leave! Do you know the strings I had to pull just to get you in here?!”
“I know and I’m so sorry, I’m grateful but I can’t do this. I have to leave. If I don’t I’m going to end up doing something we’ll both regret and ruining both of our careers.”
“No, hey, listen to me, babygirl. Just talk to me. What could possibly be so bad that you need to leave and potentially ruin any cred I have with violetbloods? Why don’t you just tell me what happened and I’ll handle whatever asshole made you feel the need to run?”
"Oh really? So you’re gonna fight an indigoblood for me? What about a purpleblood? I just got booted out of my practice session by one of each. So you’re gonna handle that for me?” she responded, far more agitated than she was trying to come across.
“Well I-”
“Oh you can’t? Then sorry I gotta go,” she crankily waved him away. He grabbed her arms and turned her around to face him. She could clearly tell he was getting frustrated as well by the tight grip on her arm and the stiffness in his jaw. The vibrant blue in his outfit is what knocked some sense into her. She almost forgot who she was dealing with. She should never have let her real feelings show in front of him.
“Do we wanna try that again?” The 'while I’m still being nice’ was left unsaid but clearly resonated in her mind.
“I’m sorry. I’m just stressed and I’m panicking. I didn’t mean to take it out on-” She was interrupted mid-apology by the sound of Xefros and Joey opening her dressing room door. They both froze for a moment at the sight in front of them, and Xefros immediately grabbed Joey and covered her mouth. The girl was ready to lunge at the Indigoblood for grabbing her friend like that.
“Do you mind explaining what’s going on here?” Xefros asked.
“It’s nothing,” Zebruh’s grip loosened a bit but he was still holding onto her.
“Chixie just has a bit of stage fright and needed a little pep talk to help her perform,” Zebruh explained with a fake smile.
Joey lunged out of Xefros arm’s, forcing herself out of his grip.
“Really? Cause to me it looks like she’s trying to leave and you’re trying to force her to stay!” She screeched out.
“Excuse me?! Chixie can speak for herself” He all but dragged her in front of him, waiting for her to defend and excuse his behavior. She briefly looked back at him and huffed. 
"I’m fine guys. Just give me a bit and I’ll let you know when you can come in.”
Joey was about to go off when Xefros stopped her and dragged her into the hallway, Zebruh closing the door behind them.
“There’s no way he’s giving her a pep talk in there! He’s just being the same skeevy creep he was before!” Joey ranted, taking no notice of the clown leaving his dressing room far down the hall.
“I know but what can we do if Chixie doesn’t want our help, and what could we do even if she did?” Xefros responded. The figure that was ambling through the stretch of doors stopped at the mention of Bronzeblood’s name. He was just far enough that neither of them noticed his presence and yet he could still hear every word.
“Zebruh is such a creep! And a jerk! I don’t like this! I don’t like leaving her alone with him.”
“We’re not leaving her alone with him. We’re right here. If he tries anything we can hear it all and get back in to help her.”
“I know, but it doesn’t feel good. We should’ve followed her. At least if we did she wouldn’t have been alone, he wouldn’t be able to corner her, and she probably wouldn’t want to leave.”
“But who’s to say that even if we were there she wouldn’t want to leave? She said she just found out something and that’s what’s messing with her. She would’ve left regardless of whether we were there or not. Plus it might’ve made things much worse if she felt embarrassed in front of us. We are not in her quadrants Joey.”
“But maybe if we were there we could’ve said or done something to make it better. I don’t know. She’s just so sweet and talented. I don’t want to see her being taken advantage of like this.”
“I’m sorry Joey but that’s the reality of being a lowblood. No way around it. She was 'lucky’ enough to have someone to protect her. Most of us don’t.”
The door opened behind them and the clown eavesdropping on their conversation made his exit. Zebruh came out of the room, clearly still upset but also calm. He walked out, not saying a word or even acknowledging them. They both immediately rushed back in to see Chixie frantically packing her things.
“Are you okay?!” Joey asked, her face filled with equal parts concern and rage.
“Yeah…” She packed the last of her things, the frown on her face still very much present.
“Chixie, please tell us what’s going on,” Joey begged, careful not to touch her and remind her of Zebruh.
She silently pulled out her palmhusk and explained.
“Marvus, That big clown guy, made a fake burgundy account to talk to me.”
She scrolled through the DMs.
“He was trying to warm up to me for…some reason, I didn’t stick around to find out.”
Joey looked at her shocked,
“That…That doesn’t sound like Marvus. Are you sure it was him?”
“I heard him and some other clowns talking about it. Plus I saw my dms to the burgundy account on his palmhusk! They do shit like this all the time,” Chixie sounded as defeated as ever, as she put the device away.
“B-but but, He was so nice to us-” Xefros sent her a look to stop talking but Chixie cut her off first.
“Look,” She began staring directly into Joey’s eyes.
“I know you have this naive trust in him, I used to be like that too. I used to think that maybe if I acted right the trolls above me would approve of me. But that’s not how things work here.” 
Her voice was starting to crack slightly as tears formed in the corners of her viewglobes.
“All of us are fools in their game, their prey…” She said wiping the tears from her face.
“Joey, maybe Marvus isn’t who you think he is. This is absolutely something a clown would do.” 
"But he-”
“Joey! Remember that little murder game on the train and the trial? He’s caused us and others trouble more than once! Just because he was nice once doesn’t erase what he made us do.”
“I know. You’re right he’s probably not who I thought he was. But why does that mean she has to go? Why can’t she just block him and move on?”
“It’s not a good thing being on a clown’s radar. Her blocking him could make him as unbearable as Zebruh. Who knows what he’d do if she ever crossed him in person.”
“Well…if you think this is the right thing to do, we’ll help you. Xefros you get her bags I’ll block her if Zebruh comes. Meet us at the train station so if he sees either of us separate he won’t realize anything. Let’s go Chixie, we’ll leave first.”
The burgundy grabbed the bag, while Joey took Chixie’s hand.
“Do you want to tell Cridea or just leave?”
“Just leave,” she replied without hesitation.
“If we tell Cridea, she’ll tell him…I’ll text her when I get on the train. ”
“If that’s what you want, let’s go then.”
They put their plan into action. Chixie and Joey took the back exit, while Xefros took the front. Avoiding a creepy indingdong was surprisingly easy. Apparently, Marvus coincidentally decided to do an early meet and greet near the hivetel. Every troll from Burgundies to Pinks were crowding near the building, leaving the streets open and weirdly quiet. Knowing what she knows now she’s sure everything has been on purpose. Marvus watching her on the platform, him being outside her dressing room, probably checking to see if she was still alive after the train sped up, and now he was 'coincidentally’ doing an event that’d keep Zebruh away from her. She was so done with stalkerish highbloods. She just wanted to be left alone.
Joey still kept an eye out at all times just to make sure they didn’t run into any unwanted pests. It wasn’t long before Chixie arrived at the station with Joey and finally got her bags from Xefros. In comparison to before the station was noticeably emptier. No one else was leaving before Jeevik week even started. Luckily the train was still running, and the last one for the day was about to show up.
The two each gave Chixie a hug upset to lose the new friend they made. Chixie was devastated as well. She had been looking forward to spending the next two weeks hanging out with them and getting to know them.
“Be safe okay?” Xefros said.
“I will. I’ll send you guys a message when I reach my hive." 
"Text us if you need anything we’ll keep an eye out on Marvus for you,” Joey pouted, stopping herself from trying to change her mind. She was enjoying her time with Chixie and was sad this could be the last time she’d see her once she found her way home. But at the same time, she was happy that she helped her friend escape her crappy situation. 
She hopped on the train waving goodbye. When her friends were out of view she sat down. 
She pulled out her palmhusk, glancing at the messages she got. Even if this was all fake, she was happy to have had a real fan for a while. She blocked the account but still kept the messages. Just in case she needed a confidence boost.
