[audio because someone is too blind to type]

[paper_knight]

Guess who's reduced to sniffing at his comm unit? THIS GUY. And he smells your justicey teal text, Terezi, but can't quite focus on the words.

"Terezi? Could you switch to audio?"

Read: he's still not desperate enough to lick the screen.

[paper_knight]

Yes, Terezi, give the inexperienced blind man an edged weapon. Brilliant idea.

"Clever."

Understandably, there's a little apprehension in his tone. He tugs gently at the top of the cane, and there's a brief gasoline-sharp tang of metal before he shoves the two pieces back together. Yikes.

"Thanks. What else do you do to get around?"

[turn4bout]

Suddenly, the world smells like rainbows. Because Terezi has pulled out her most precious, most sacred of items. A pack of chalk.

She is handing it to you, Mark. TAKE CARE.

You can mark the walls with this. So you know where you're going, where you've been, and everything just smells better generally.

[paper_knight]

He takes the handful of fruit-and-candy scents, surprised to feel something as ordinary as cardboard.

"Oh."

He pats at the box, pulls out a stick to be sure. "Chalk. Of course."

[turn4bout]

Before he can close the top, her fingers slip in a nab a red.

However, this gift comes with a price.

Grin. Grinning. GRINNINGLYISM.

[paper_knight]

"...What?"

You'll excuse him if he doesn't quite trust that grin.

[turn4bout]

You have to spend the rest of the day coloring with me.

[paper_knight]

That's all? Seriously?
He finds himself smiling in return.

"I think I can handle that."

[turn4bout]

She turns, immediately, and draws a bright red >8] on the wall.

What color smells best?

[paper_knight]

He takes a moment and separates out a couple of the paler colors--mint green and lemon yellow.

"One of these."

He points at Terezi's drawing.

"That smells like cough syrup."

[turn4bout]

[ Dooooodling:

[paper_knight]

"Hey!"

He sighs, resigned.

"I'll take your word for it."

But he will color. He scribbles a little red patch on the wall.

[turn4bout]

With mouth full of chalk, she begins to chant:

Lick it, lick it, lick it, lick it, lick it, lick it, lick it--

Peer pressure is very powerful, Mark Meltzer. Best beware.

[paper_knight]

"Terezi," he interrupts, "That's no way to ask for something."

[turn4bout]

Lick it please.

[paper_knight]

He actually wasn't expecting that.
Well.

"This color's your favorite?"
