( around town on random sidewalks )

[Today is a great day to be Terezi, especially after following such a bizarre week of uncertainty. After being handed an envelope by her human female drone lusus (and spending the subsequent fifteen minutes trying to open it), she finds herself with her proper body- and, more importantly, her vision- back

[ Taiwan is about to greet the girl doodling on the sidewalk when said girl decides to get all up in her personal space. And sniff her... ]

Uh, hi... [ Come on, Taiwan's friendly, but not that friendly. Normally she'd smile it off, but she feels so awkward. Terezi, don't.

can she smell the several shades of red on her cheeks??? yeah she probably can ]

[foretastes]

[hahaha yeah no she's staying right here. especially because Taiwan smells delicious.]

You smell like flowers! And something sweet, too... Hehehe.

[hwamei]

Ah! Terezi!? Haha, aww... thank you, I guess!

[ This is a little scary to her ngl, because ] Why are your eyes red...

[foretastes]

[once she is satisfied, she backs off a little- just a little!- and plants her hands on her hips.] You're Taiwan, right!

Hmm? Oh, well, I burned them! I looked into the sun for too long, hehe.

[hwamei]

Yeah, I am!

[ WHY ARE ALL THE THINGS YOU SAY DEPRESSING, TEREZI ]

I see. Hmm, so you didn't regain your sight after all... But you know, you seem very different today! Like... you can move a lot easier! And... you're drawing.

[ takes a step back to examine the. what is that. 2d girl drawing?? ] Who's this supposed to be?

[foretastes]

[BEING A TROLL IS HARD...]

Yeah! I gained my taste back. [she kneels next to her drawing.] This is one of the human game constructs. [she means a drone.]

[hwamei]

[ as she crouches next to Terezi. ] Game constructs?

[ She hears a laugh. It's from a girl with blonde pigtails nearby. ]

Ohhhh, you mean the drones! Hehe, I guess they do act a lot like NPCs do in video games!

[foretastes]

Right! That's what they are, right?

[hwamei]

Well, NPCs... have no souls. And drones don't have any, either.

[foretastes]

What makes you say that?

[hwamei]

Um... No, it's probably not true... Ooh, I hate it when they play with us like this!

[foretastes]

They seem kinda boring! But I guess if they don't have souls...

[hwamei]

-that's to be expected, right? What do they... hmm, what do they smell like to you?

[foretastes]

Um... [she frowns; her expression darkens.] At first nothing. And then blood. The kind that comes out of dead bodies.

[hwamei]

Eww...

Does everyone have a scent to you? [ She sniffs her own collar. ] I don't smell anything... How'd you learn how to do that?

[foretastes]

Everything does. My lusus taught me. [Terezi smiles.] I guess the human word is 'parent'! Or... 'mother'. She was a dragon... and she was the best lusus.
