That message was a little surprising. Terezi knew she had a couple things to ask her other, but she hadn't anticipated being beaten to that initiative. Just like she hadn't anticipated that location ping.

She understood that Zone 07 was bad. It was something she'd realized very quickly from Davesprite's reaction and (belatedly) Vriska's reaction, not that either of them had proven very informative on the matter. What she didn't understand is why her other wanted to have this talk in the place that everyone was up in arms over avoiding. It gave her a bad feeling all around. So, it was with slight apprehension that she ported herself over to Stross to answer the summons.

Stepping out of the teleporter, she gave her double a casual wave, but forewent any of the usual banter that they were known for. "Hey."

Just as she was getting antsy (this was a bad idea, she should just go -- no, there's nothing bad here anymore, just stay a few more minutes), she heard the tell-tale sound of the teleporter activating.

"Sup," she called. Defaulting to coolkid speak already. Dave was having more of an effect on her than she'd realized. She answered the other Terezi's wave with a wave of her own and hauled herself up off the bench.

"Come walk with me?"

She caught the coolkid greeting and a grin found its way onto her lips, despite her previous--and continuing--discomfort. There was always that vague sense of unease when smelling her other, even if she knew for a fact that there was nothing wrong with these temporal shenanigans. Even if the differences between them were glaringly obvious to anyone with two eyes (or a nose). That wariness was something she was just going to have to live with.

"Sure." She approached the other troll, waiting to let her lead wherever she intended them to walk, but keeping a slightly more generous amount of distance between them than she would with anyone else. "I get the feeling this isn't a pleasure stroll, is it?"

"Got it in one."

She could smell the faint disquiet rising off the other troll. Normally she would have chalked it up to the situation at hand -- her double had to know there was something wrong wit this zone -- but she had picked up on it as far back as their first meeting over the network. But what was the problem?

Terezi lead them deeper into the zone, trying to keep her cool. It was no longer reskinned synthetic plastic blacks and acid greens, but being back in this far stirred up old memories. She drew in a shaky breath. "You ever wonder why I can pass as a double in that old technologically irrelevant Troll Jeff Bridges movie that came out sweeps ago?"
