SUBJECT: So, uh ........ a8out whatever is up with this place?

[hypertoxic]

[ USER: #005682 ]

Since there's fuck all else to do, I decided to try flying around and seeing how far I could get! Not gonna lie, I would have ditched every single one of you losers if I could.
8ut I couldn't! No matter how far or high I fly, there's just ........ nothing. Nothing at all! Though if you go up high it gets pretty fucking cold, so I don't recommend trying it to people who aren't dead.
Anyway, there's your upd8. We are even more trapped than we previously assumed!

We got a forest. Bonfire? By the well?

WORKS FOR ME

[hypertoxic]

[ man. vriska still doesn't completely believe this weirdo, but stranger things have happened, so... whatever?

whatever. henry will find vriska lingering around the well. being able to fly makes it easy to get around quickly! far from the punk chick look she had when they all first arrived, now she's just in a tshirt and jeans, her hair a long, tangled rats nest.

she won't smile or anything when she spots someone approaching, but she will wave. ]

Are you deathwizard?

[ ... apparently she's just calling him that now. ]

[hypertoxic]

[ ... ]

You know what? Yeah! Let's do it. Haha, do you think the fire will 8e gray? Freaky!

[messianic]

It seemed rude to assume.

[Why are they already like this is the real question.]

But I'll take that as a yes, I think.

[Why are you dead, Vriska.

Hm.]

You seem pretty okay with it.

[i_cant_die]

Cool!

If it is, let's try dancing around it. Like a color dance.

We gotta recruit people to help. You got anyone who will listen to you? I got a few friends. They might help.

[parodeity]

maybe i care
maybe i want to be known only by my hex code just a little longer

also good im glad my next act will be
to let someone else figure out the food situation
specifically the catching food situation
im not about this life

[ In all honesty, the style of typing and phrasing gives her a bit of unplaceable nostalgia but it's been so long since they've had an actual conversation that she nearly overlooks her typing quirk. Nearly She definitely plays it cool and not letting her hopes run away with her here.

(Un)fortunately, her style is too distinct to ignore, and will probably confirm whether this person is actually Vriska or not. ]

HOW F1TT1NG!

[dreidels]

That's not the sort of perspective that's useful at all when we're apparently all stuck here like this.

Great! Fantastic! None of this makes sense. There has to be more out there somewhere. How can this town be the only thing that exists?

[heartsteals]

I daresay the numbers don't tell anyone much of anything about me, do they? Even if that weren't the case, it's the civilized thing to do, though I suppose an undead being wouldn't have much use for that.

What's ::::/?

[hypertoxic]

[ oh, fuck.

there's no way.

there is absolutely no way.

is she hallucinating? ]

.... no. Just more formless gray nothingness.

[hypertoxic]

Lol. I don't even care anymore. This sounds like a gr8 idea. Yeah, I got a couple people I can ask!

[hypertoxic]

Sorry? I'm not trying to 8e derisive. I'm just kind of over shit like this happening all the time.
Shrug. Search me. There is pro8a8ly some 8ig important mystery we are supposed to figure out.

[ Rim shot. ]

[hypertoxic]

Hey, actually, you know what?

F8ck you!

[hypertoxic]

Oh. Sorry. Want me to delete it?
::::/ You're the worst!

[hypertoxic]

[ .......... ]

Terezi?

[parodeity]

no its way too late now
and anyway we both know that my competition in the worst category is like
laughably intense
i doubt i could make the ranking medal places just bc theres so much im up against

[dreidels]

Have you been in this sort of situation before? I've dealt with crazy things, but in all of those cases there was at least a sort of clear chain of events that lead up to it.

I've been thinking it was going to be something stupid like that. Probably the sort of thing where we'll have to stumble upon whatever it is without any hints, too.

[hypertoxic]

8y now I've 8een dead far longer than I was ever alive. I'd say you sort of get used to it, 8ut honestly, that is complete 8ullshit. 8eing dead was terrifying and lonely and I h8ed it.

[hypertoxic]

Not this exact scenario, 8ut the general idea, sure. Wacky mysteries, team 8onding adventures, 8izarre shenanigans! 8een there, done that. Though you have a point. We got pretty unceremoniously dumped into this gar8age.
Yup! You really have done this 8efore, lol.

[hypertoxic]

That's true. I'm here. It's pretty tough to compete with me on the list of worst people! ::::P

[heartsteals]

That's a little unnecessary, don't you think?

[ What else can she say. This is not how she thought they'd meet again. But at least she can carefully plan each word said. That has always been her way.

But all the questions she can think about asking are so inappropriate and awkward. ]

WH3R3 4R3 YOU?

[hypertoxic]

It's not a dream 8u88le. I would know. 8esides, there are too many of the living here. From entirely different universes!
I am in one of the hives in 8luo.
Is this really for real?
You're actually here?
I have 8een hoping to find you for countless sweeps. 8ut you never turned up in any of the dream 8u88les we passed through.

[hypertoxic]

You're the one calling me names, asshole! Fuck off!
