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!

[ very softly ]

... it is very kind of you to ask. You're more than welcome to stay. I mean, it's not really my decision, anyway.

[ another beat. she chances a look at him, her brow furrowed in uncertainty. ]

My name is Vriska. It's ... it's nice to meet you too, I guess.

[ ... ]

You don't seem all that weirded out by me.

[messianic]

[...Well.

He just kind of snorts softly at that, an amused noise.]

Well... I woke up in a well in some sort of strange colorless Town, and met a lot of people with strange abilities.

You look more unique than most of the people I've seen appearance-wise, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

[Also, he's surpassed his weird quota so now he's just accepting everything.]

[hypertoxic]

[ Vriska huffs through her nose, a sound that is almost a laugh. ]

Haha. Unique is one word for it, I guess. There are worse ones! So you know what, I'll take it.

[messianic]

[And, perfectly straightfaced:]

The horns are cool though.

[Very impressive? Horns are like. One of those things that totally works somehow.]

[hypertoxic]

[ .... SNORT ]

You think? [ she reaches up to brush her fingers over one of them, smiling crookedly. ] I guess they would seem that way to someone without horns. Wanna touch 'em?

[ bows her head a little, if he wants to reach out. ]

[messianic]

[... You know what.

Sure.

He'll go for it. He reaches out, touching them carefully. Hm...!!]

They're really solid. I guess I'm not really sure what I was expecting.

[Real!! Horns!!]

You're not human then, right?

[hypertoxic]

[ Vriska will smile a little. It doesn't really feel like all that much to her. Just some very faint sensations, like what you might feel if someone touched your fingernails. ]

Well now you know they're real!

[ She'll sit up again, smiling crookedly. ]

Good job, genius. You just figure that out?

[ a pause, and she shakes her head. somewhat more earnestly: ]

You're right, I'm not. I'm a troll.

[messianic]

[And, rather deadpan:]

Yes, it took me awhile to figure it out.

[Anyway--]

A troll...? [Huh!!] I've never heard of trolls before.

[hypertoxic]

Are you always this slow on the uptake, or...?

[ she trails off, her grin fleeting. ]

Yeah, you wouldn't have. If you had, I'd know who you were! [ that's cryptic. ] All you really need to know is that trolls are an alien race from a different planet than Earth. That's the whole story, really!

[messianic]

[... That's really cryptic.

Hm...!!]

The whole story, huh... [Seems like it is probably Not The Whole story, but he can tell when something doesn't belong at rank 1 of the Social Link.]

So what's it like on other planets?

[hypertoxic]

[ aint it just.

also minato honestly you do not want her to tell you about homestuck. run. save yourself. ]

Uh, well. The only one I can really tell you about is my homeworld! Alternia. It had two moons, and a sun much more intense than Earth's, to my understanding. It was a dangerous place to live! Populated only by the young of our species, since once you came of age you got sent off-world to fight in the Empress's wars. As a rule trolls are a warlike race of conquerors, though most of my friends were softhearted losers. [ this is said with a kind of distant fondness. ]

[messianic]

[It's too late, he's too entrenched.

There's no saving himself now...!! Also that's... interesting, honestly. Warlike race of conquerors, huh...?]

...What about you? [Her friends, sure, but how does Vriska fall into all of this? Is she also a fierce conqueror?

(Also, it sounds kind of lonely, everyone getting sent off to fight in some war...)]
