[Open] Mock Trial in Mallowhallow

Who: Terezi Pyrope and whoever drops by....
What: The alien troll girl is holding a ferocious trial. Apparently the plush rabbit has mortally offended the velveteen beetle....
Where: Mallowhallow
When: March 8th

Within the plush confines of Mallowhallow, Terezi Pyrope is holding court in front of her brightly-coloured pillow house. It mostly seems to be made of red pillows. Arranged in a jury-row is a line of stuffed animals in varying sizes and shapes. Several are plush scalemates. A lone blue plush rabbit sits in the position of the accused. A purple-and-green velveteen beetle sits watching. Perched high on a tower of pillows is a large red lobster.

Terezi, wearing her black Libra T-shirt and black jeans, is pacing before the accused and addressing the lobster in a loud voice, obviously in full swing and enjoying herself.

"Yes, Mister Azure Longears, we have brought you here today to accuse you of most foul slander! Mister Violetcarapace has brought forth the complaint! It is written here in most revealing, distasteful language!"

She whips a piece of paper from her pocket and slaps it down in front of the rabbit, dropping into a kneel, cane slanted out sideways. She grins at the hapless rabbit, all razor teeth and murderous glee.

He was about to respond to Terezi when his own pillow phone went off at the same time. He wouldn't admit it, but he found the thing completely awesome. It was the plushest phone ever. And the fact that he could fall asleep on it gave it a distinct benefit.

"What kind of toys do you like?" Bro asked. "Could probably work with things other than felt and cotton, if the materials can be located."

A nod to Terezi, a very quick agreement that yes it liked toys! --and then realized that she wouldn't see it. And then bro asked things, and its attention went to trying to answer him. It pointed at some of the smuppets, and the scalemates, and it... really wasn't all that clear exactly what Doll was trying to say, since it was so excited. Holding the end of a lock of its purple-y hair to wave it a little to draw their attention to it probably just looked odd.

Oh, right, the phone.

y pet toy? soft n skwuishy n hair al ovr?

That was sent to both of them again. They'd probably be getting the same texts from it for this discussion; it would surely keep things simple.

"A pet toy? Ah, you want a stuffed animal? You like cats?" Bro asks. He pulls out his sylladex and looks at the cards. He really should eject the thing sometime, who knows what shit he has in it.

"Pets. Dave tried to explain that to me. It sounded very strange," Terezi mused, sidling closer to Bro and sniffing at his cards curiously. ~~Personal space, what?~~ "A small purr-beast is still a purr-beast."

Doll looked between the two again. Purr-beast? Cat? ....it had yet to actually see any such things, but it was interested! It leaned over slightly, to try peeking at Bro's cards, curious about this, and eager to see what he was going to do this time.

He retrieves the plush cat out of his sylladex, stashing the cards back into whatever super-dimensional hole they actually belong in.

"Well, they do purr, but domestic cats aren't much of beasts. They tend to be fat and lazy," Bro said. "I'll draw you some comics that you can sniff and lick."

"We do not have them so small," Terezi admits, leaning up against him to reach up and grab after the toy, feeling for its shape and size. "I would like that! Dave's comics were tasty. I will draw you comics, too. It shall be a cultural exchange."

She doesn't try to take the toy, just feel it - after all, Bro is giving it to Doll.

Doll blinked as Bro pulled the kitty plush out, from... well, it wasn't too sure where from, but he pulled it out! And Terezi wanted to feel it, which was fine -- it could wait! It was just so happy to have a pet, and it was a present from someone, at that...!

Doll couldn't help itself any more. It reached over, barely remembering to put a hand on Terezi's shoulder first, like she'd said to.... And then they had the big toy trying ~~(with a Strength stat of zero, hah)~~ to wrap its arms around both of them at once.

He supposed the troll planet must have been more deadly than earth, even around larger civilization. He knew it could be pretty deadly on earth, especially in Australia, wasn't there some sort of joke about the animals there being, deadly, poisonous, or sheep? So he'll let Terezi touch the cat plush a bit, it appeared Doll was patient enough to wait.

And he's much better off now then he was last time Doll hugged him. So this time there is no wince, just a smirk smirk from Bro.

"You're a huggy kid," he said.

"Very much so," Terezi agreed, and papped at Doll's face, grinning. "Mister Purple Hair is very affectionate."

Which was strange to Terezi; she was used to more hostility and competition.

She would just have to put up with continued affection, then; Doll was in no mood to be even jokingly upset at anything right now. It leaned over to nuzzle at her a little, eyes tightly shut in a grin, just rubbing its face on her some, lightly, before it turned to do likewise to Bro, and then let go of them. It figured that it had expressed itself well enough, letting them know how happy it was to be getting the cat plush, and that the "thank you" was surely clear by this point.

Still entirely too pleased with the situation, it sat down a step away, to hug its knees to itself. It'd settle down in a while, probably after it actually had the cat -- but for now, it was entirely content to wait for the two to do whatever it was they wanted to do, before it got its hands on the plush. Doll knew how to be patient and share, honest! It was just... a little beside itself with happiness, at the moment. ~~Silly baby Shadow thing....~~

"So cat comics will happen when I find the supplies for drawing," Bro said once Doll let go.

"I have that."

Terezi fished through her sylladex, wandering over to sit by Doll on the grass. She licked the cards in her hands, then nodded and pulled out a messy stack of paper, a box of somewhat melted-looking chalk, and a box of slightly gnawed-on crayons.

She spreads her clawed hands wide, narrowly missing Doll's face, and grins as she displays her bounty.

"Let us get this comic rumpus started!"

"I have that."

Terezi fished through her sylladex, wandering over to sit by Doll on the grass. She licked the cards in her hands, then nodded and pulled out a messy stack of paper, a box of somewhat melted-looking chalk, and a box of slightly gnawed-on crayons.

She spread her clawed hands wide, narrowly missing Doll's face, and grinned as she displayed her bounty.

"Let us get this comic rumpus started!"

Doll watched intently as she pulled out her art supplies. Paper and crayons? Great, now Doll wanted to join in on that too!

It gestured for Bro to sit down with them, and reached into its pocket, pulling out a piece of square paper. It was a bit small for drawing a comic on, but if Terezi wanted to make cat things, and do artwork, Doll wanted to join in! If Bro handed it the kitty plush, it would surely take the time to give it a good hug before cuddling the toy in its lap.

The sheet of origami paper, light blue on one side, and white on the other, was handled very carefully. Doll wasn't the best with its coordination, so it was going to take its time to try to do this well... and would be busy for a good few minutes, making something while they drew.

Bro hands off the plush to Doll and pulls a pen out of his sylladex so he and Terezi can get to work. He already figured he was going to recreate some of those fat cat comics from the newspaper, but in his own style, of course.

Well... his own style minus the porn. Come to think of it, he hadn't drawn anything that wasn't pornographic or morally unsound in awhile. This would be refreshing.

He'll get to work as soon as he grabs a piece of paper. And after he draws the lines, he'll color it in.

Terezi drew a purr-beast very carefully in olive-green crayon, all the while sucking happily on a red crayon. It tasted so good and she was starting to feel happily dizzy on the sensory overload. She giggled cheerfully, and leaned over to see what Doll was crackling. She snuffled after it, then reached out a curious clawed hand to pat ightly over Doll's hands, tracking the motion.

She popped the red crayon out of her mouth, holding it between her first two fingers as a human might a cigarette.

"What are you doing?"

Doll paused, having leaned over and forward a bit more to see around her hands. It didn't seem to mind her doing that, though it did make it a little more difficult to do what it was doing... and since she had a hand over its hands already, it simply put one lightly over hers, slender plastic digits guiding the tips of her gray ones to the folded paper, to trace the shape.

...And then put her fingers down toward the bottom of its little paper head, to try having her fold that tip up, making sure it was lined up carefully before creasing it, and then folding the tip of that back down, making the muzzle and nose.

It turned the paper over, so it could have her fold the ears back, and then forward again... and then, after snagging a crayon to draw the eyes and mouth on it, it put the finished kitty into her hand, pleased. If Terezi and Bro were going to make kitties, so would Doll.

It reached into its pocket to pull out another piece of paper, and started with another fold, using the inside of its leg again to make the creases at least sharper than not. Maybe this one should be... hm. Well, the shiny yellow would surely look good as a little fish, wouldn't it?

Terezi made a curious little click-chirp noise deep in her throat, and used both hands to feel over the folded bit of paper. It was delicate and strange, and she snuffled it curiously. She already knew from the feel the thin paper would not hold up to a good exploring lick. She clicked again, softly and mostly to herself, before she reached over and patted at Doll's arm.

"How do you know how to make it into a shape?" she wanted to know. She angled her head towards Bro, then held out the origami cat towards him. "What is it?" she asked, because he could certainly tell her!

He looked up from his intense drawing and saw what Terezi was holding. "An oragami cat," he answered promptly.

"Its an art from Japan, by folding paper, without cutting it, you can make different shapes. Cranes are popular, frogs, cats, pinwheels, and more," he continued.

He turned back to his comic and started to shade in the orange cat. It was complaining about the horrible thing known as Mondays and the "devil of Monday" which kept moving its favorite sunbeam.

Doll continued working on the little fish, folding it neatly, pressing down on the creases on its leg, to keep it all flat. It was managing to be pretty quick about it, too! Finally, it reached over and took another crayon, drew little eyes on the fish, and then offered it over to Terezi as well, poking its paper nose into the palm of her other hand with a smile.

It looked over to Bro to see what he was up to, and then pulled yet another sheet of the origami paper from its pocket, a bright metallic-looking rainbowy one. It offered that to him; if he knew what origami was, maybe he'd like to do some too?

Curiously, the paper seemed not to have any crinkles on it yet, despite having been in the big toy's pocket....

Terezi took the fish and felt all over it. "We didn't have anything like this. It's so fragile." She brought it close to her nose and snuffled it, curiously eagerly. "This is a fish, yes?"

She held it out to Bro again, for him to see.

"Yeah, it's a fish," he said before taking the sheet of paper from Doll. How was it not crinkled?

He folds the popular paper crane. "There's a legend that if you fold a thousand of these cranes a wish will come true."

His crane looks like one of those picture perfect ones, clearly he had a lot of practice. He hands it to Terezi so she can "see" it.

Doll looked at Bro at that, eyes wide for a moment. That was what was up with paper cranes? Wishes coming true? Really?

Quickly, it pulled another few sheets of pristine origami paper from its pocket, excitedly handing some of them over to Bro, before it turned its attention to one of the papers still in its own hand. It was going to fold cranes now, obviously! Even if it took it a bit to do it... well, it wasn't so concerned with doing it perfectly; it was trying to do it as quickly as Bro had, and mis-matching the edges in doing so, coordination suffering for the attempt at speeding up the process. That crane probably wouldn't look as nice as Bro's, but Doll didn't seem to care.

It had a thousand to start making, after all!

Terezi felt over the crane carefully. "Ah. A wading chirp-beast. We had these, but they were not particularly lucky. Tasty, yes! But not lucky."

Terezi arranged her new collection of origami very delicately on her earlier drawing. She liked how the crane stands up, and spent several moments trying to get the odd purr-beast structure to do the same. It was not cooperating. Finally, she let it lie.

"Could you teach me? It is very interesting!" She was asking them both, really.
