Rose reached out and took hold of Terezi's arm, stopping her. She could have been ignoring the question, but Rose had a feeling that wasn't the case. She had wrapped the red scarf around her eyes, obscuring her expression, and her mouth was shut tightly, a thin firm line of black. Terezi stopped talking, but kept walking swiftly.

TEREZI: NO TEREZI: 1M PR3TTY MUCH DON3 W1TH H1M ROSE: So then what are you going to do? ROSE: Maybe we should talk about this first. She followed Terezi across the white sand. Rose tried to follow it down to its conclusion, but it was swept into the tangle. Its length seemed to suddenly cut in half. Where are you going? TEREZI: CLOWN HUNT1NG ROSE: Are you going somewhere? ROSE: Terezi? TEREZI: 1M GO1NG TO DO SOM3TH1NG 1 SHOULD H4V3 DON3 4 LONG T1M3 4GO ROSE. Rose studied Terezi, watching her face as she picked up the scarf and began to walk away. ROSE: Did you make that with one of my scarfs?

There was a spark of light, and through the magiscientific process of alchemy a long red scarf appeared on the platform. Terezi inserted two cards into the machine. What are you making? TEREZI: NON3 OF YOUR BUS1N3SS ROSE: This is my alchemiter. TEREZI: WH4T DO YOU W4NT ROSE: To see what you're doing, mostly. Terezi's incessant sniffing and searching seemed to have brought her over to Rose's alchemy equipment. She supposed there was one thread that still looked relatively straight. Possibilities and plans twisted together. What she saw, rather than clarity, was a jumbled mass. But what was the point of a thread where she couldn't see the beginning or the end? And she supposed, in a way, they still were. The threads of fortune were supposed to be there for her. But now that she finally really needed it it, she couldn't make sense of what she saw at all. It had been three years, and although she'd rarely had a reason to use it, she'd always known she'd be able to. The sight gifted to her as a fully realized Seer had never exactly been straight forward. ROSE: To do whatever it is I don't know to do in the first place. And now that I'm enlightened I can move forward to. ROSE: I suppose I could consider this realization some sort of epiphany. And now, I'm not sure if I ever really did in the first place. She'd always trusted her own abilities, always sure she knew exactly what to do. She'd just rushed forward with her own plans, however on the spot or poorly thought out. She'd never completed her planetary quest. Wandering around the area, she thought about the time she'd spent in it during the game. Rose briefly wondered if whatever this hypothetical obfuscation was had anything to do with her pillow disappearing. Though if she did know anything, she didn't seem to care. Maybe Terezi had smelled something? Her senses were typically more sensitive than sight, anyway. ![]() If that was the case, it had done a good job. It could have been intentionally obscuring something. It's temporary appearance seemed unusual. The glut of artifacts coating her land, floating in mid-air like some kind of digital mist, seemed to have mostly lifted. She seemed to be searching for something. Rose watched as Terezi began sniffing around the Land of Light and Rain, frowning and growling at the lights and colors. TEREZI: COULD YOU 4T TH3 V3RY 元4ST M4K3 4N 3FFORT TO B3 元SS HORR1B元
