Since apparently we are all confessing stupid shit we've done l8ly, I've got one!
I can steal luck, 8lah 8lah 8lah, let's not w8ste time on that part. Instead let's focus on what I stole luck from!
That 8ullshit palace we were all freezing to death in a few days ago was pretty enormous, right? Good place to try out some luck stealing powers without totally wrecking something actually important. You'd think that, right?
Wrong!!!!!!!!
Instead, some 8izarre shit happened, which I guess I should have 8een more prepared for. ::::/
First I tried to steal the luck of whoever 8uilt the place! Pretty str8forward, right? Wrong again, asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It felt like there wasn't anyone there to steal from. At all. Which is weird!
I've tried to find Mr. F 8efore, and my powers at least led me somewhere. This time? Nothing. Nada.
Since that attempt was a total failure, I tried something else, which was to steal the palace's luck!
And this is the part I think you all should know.
Shockingly, this also didn't work, 8ut........
It is hard to descri8e.
I guess the 8est way to put it is that I got some 8um luck! It feels all fake and strange and gross. ::::(
I know that likely doesn't make sense to any of you. It 8arely makes sense to me! If you know anything a8out my powers, then you know they are designed to make me luckier. I CAN'T make myself less lucky, or give myself 8ad luck. It just does not work that way.
Except for this time, apparently!
It is kind of making me think that entire place ......... wasn't actually real?
Unfortun8ly, I can't offer a comparison between it and Chroma, 8ecause I haven't tried to steal from the town. Too risky!
So there you have it. If you've got a theory, I would like to hear it!
In the meantime I will just 8e eating shit constantly while I try to figure out how to get rid of all this crappy luck, I GU8SS. >::::(

It's 8een roughly that level of slapstick. Seriously, I'm not in danger. If I was, I would have a friend watch me or something. Promise. <3

[pyrafect]

Alright.

I don't know anything about stealing luck, but you look like you could take care of yourself, anyways. Still, I'm here if you need anything.

[hypertoxic]

I look like I can take care of myself?? Haha, what does that even mean! I will try and take that as a compliment. ::::P
Thanks. ::::) How are you?

[pyrafect]

Me? Well honestly I’m still trying to get used to this place. Being brought here and then being transported to an ice castle isn’t exactly normal in my own world.

It’s nice not being frozen, too.

[ Then almost as an after thought— and because Pyra thinks it’s some sort of courtesy since Vriska is doing it— she adds: ] ::::)

[hypertoxic]

Oh man, were you new when that happened? That sucks. Then again, no one really gets a chance to settle in 8efore the shenanigans start, lol. I am pretty sure it's not normal anywhere.
W8, not 8eing frozen? Do you mean that figuratively or literally?
Omg. You can't just use my quirk! DXXXX

[pyrafect]

Literally! I was frozen over in that ice palace. It was very strange... I've never felt cold in my life before that. But I'm going to guess that there's a "magic" to this place. I'm all better now, though. Which is why I'm glad not being frozen. ::::)?

[ And... oh. The ::::) changed to DXXXX.

She gets that it's a smile for the first one, and a distressed face for the second. But she still doesn't understand why both have extra sets of eyes. ]

What do you mean quirk?

[hypertoxic]

What! ::::( I didn't know that happened to you. After you were going out of your way to help a stranger, too! I am sorry to hear that. Did someone smooch you out of it????
My typing quirk! These dum8 8-eyed smiley faces aren't just 8ecause. It's my thing! My spidery thing.
Though l8ly I've 8een thinking it's kind of dum8. Old ha8its die hard, I guess.

[pyrafect]

Oh, no, no one kissed me... but I was fortunate that someone did cry over me when I was frozen. It was quite the strange experience. The being frozen part.

The being-cried-over part was rather touching. :) But I hope to not worry anyone like that again anytime soon. You were smart for not breaking your mirror.

I think your quirk is cute! It makes your typing unique, it looks natural... and I've never seen anything like it before. Not sure what it has to do with spiders, though.

[hypertoxic]

Are you saying tears fixed it too????
God dammit. >::::(
I mean, I'm not mad someone was a8le to help you, of course!! Just........
Actually, never mind. Anyway! You 8etter not!!!!
You really think it's cute? ::::O That .... is really nice, actually. <3 Thanks. I don't hear that very often.
It's all the 8ights, of course! 8ight eyes, 8ight legs, etc. Spiders are aaaaaaaall a8out the 8ights.

[pyrafect]

[ wait

omg... ]

Also. Vriska... did someone actually kiss you??

[hypertoxic]

DXXXX I didn't 8r8k my mirror!!!!!!!

[ weird how that's not exactly a no ]

[pyrafect]

[ Ooooooh gurl ]

Ooooh, I see.

You kissed someone.

so Vriska is going to slam this response into pyra's inbox so it's NOT PUBLIC ANYMORE

[hypertoxic]

........
Yeah. ::::(
Two people, actually! 8ut the first one wasn't a 8ig deal. The second one, though....
I mean, it's fine. It's not like it was weird or anything!! I just....
Well, for one, it was just em8arrasing!!!! Especially now that I know a kiss wasn't actually required. And for another....
I dunno, I kind of have 8een thinking a8out it a lot.
