As usual this place is just one 8ig 8ullshit factory.
They fuck with us over and over again and give us what? Crap from home that's supposed to make up for it?
Well I 8't 8iting for this stuff. What am I even supposed to do with a FLARP 8ook here? Play?
........Actually, that wouldn't 8e such a 8ad idea! Any8ody want to play l8er?

[Fail Filtered to John Egbert]

Hey Eg8ert. You didn't have to do that 8ack there. In the la8yrinth, I mean.
It sucks pretty 8ad that I couldn't win, huh? 8ut I made it pretty far! Until Makara got me. Ugh, I can't 8elieve he managed to kill me.
Aaaaaaaanyway. Thanks.
May8e we could hang out l8er or something? It's pro8a8ly 8een a while since I've 8een here if what I heard from Vantas is any indic8tion.

[Fail Filtered to Romeo]

Heeeeeeeey kid. You sure did sponsor me a lot!
It's nice to see someone recognize my gr8ness.
Thanks for all of that, I suppose. Even if your human food just keeps getting weirder and weirder. ::::/
What was that stuff in the 8ox? A luncha8le? What is that even?

[ He shrugs. ] Well, considering the fact that, I attacked you, first, then ... yes.

[ Plain and simple. I mean- He wouldn't expect Vriska to stand there and allow him to kill her! That makes no sense. ]

[fabricates]

Of course you attacked me, I baited you into it. [She pinches the bridge of her nose, taking a deep breath.]

I killed you, Tavros. Why aren't you mad at me?

[pushedaround]

I guess, I'm not really bothered by it. Being dead, that is. [ It's not that he experienced it for long, since he'd been dragged to the tower soon after. Still, it was peaceful, and something that he actually enjoyed! No responsibilities, or problems. Unlike this situation right here.

He scowls slightly at Vriska.]

However, more important, I don't understand why, you're getting all angry right now.

[fabricates]

Because I killed you and you don't have a problem with it! You're even taking the blame when it isn't your fault. Yeah, you came after me but I had a plenty of ways I could have dealt with you that didn't involve killing you. You're not exactly hard to fend off.

[pushedaround]

Yeah, I don't have a problem, and it's not your fault. [ He'll have to insist on this one, Vriska. ] I guess, you could have handled the situation, differently, but, I don't think, ignoring you, is the way to go.

[ There's a pause and some staring. ] Unless, you want me to, then, that's okay.

[fabricates]

Oh my god, it is totally my fault, what is wrong with you? How the hell could you possibly come to any other conclusion?

[She drags a hand through her hair, looking away for a second. What does she want? To try to repair a friendship, just not deal with him anymore? The second would be a lot easier on her.]

That's... Up to you, Pupa.

[pushedaround]

Uh. There is, nothing wrong, with me. I should be the one, asking you that question.

[ Oh boy, just look at the troubled look on his face. He's not really sure if he'd want to take the full responsibility here. Truth to be told, they are better off neglecting each others existence, but he's not really fond of that idea. ]

No, that's something, we need to decide, together. But, we don't have to do it, right now. I guess.

[fabricates]

What's the difference between now and later, Tavros? Are you saying you just want to let whatever happens happen?

[She has no idea how to handle Tavros when he isn't angry at her. Anyone else would be pissed over getting killed, but not him. Why?? He makes everything hard for her.]

[pushedaround]

I don't know, what I want.

[ His shoulders dropped, feeling somewhat helpless here. He didn't want to get too deep into this, but Vriska is making things difficult for him too. ]

I guess, I don't want us, to keep fighting, all the time. It's really, stupid.

[fabricates]

[These two were never cut out for being able to deal with each other. She should know to leave well enough alone, but this is Vriska and she has a bad habit of not doing the stuff that would benefit everyone.]

Well, you better figure it out. Because I'm not going to wait around forever for your decision. For now we'll keep talking, if I have time and can be bothered to hold a conversation with you. No promises, I'm a busy girl with more irons in the fire than you can imagine.

[pushedaround]

Uh, we can do that, I think. Talking, that is.

[ He's uncertain, but Tavros reckoned that he should take his time and figure out what he truly wants. For now, keeping it casual seemed like the best way to go. He wouldn't want to get involved in whatever that girl is planning, because- let's face it, she's trouble! He'd prefer to stay under the shadows and oblivious. It's a bliss. ]

Yeah, sure. It's fine, if you're busy. I don't mind it.

[fabricates]

...Yeah, fine. Talking it is.

[She fidgets for a second, looking away. There's something she really needs to tell him, but she really doesn't want to admit to it. But she already said it was her fault, so it wouldn't... Be bad to say this too, right? It's just Tavros. What's he going to do to her rep, ruin it?]

Hey Pupa, I didn't really mean to kill you. I mean I did but then I realized killing you just made me feel shitty. So I'm pretty sorry about that. [Apologies: Vriska style.]

[pushedaround]

[ He stares at her, not really sure why she's saying such things and- wow, how to deal with an apologizing Vriska? He's not prepared for this at all! ]

Uh. Like I said, it's not your fault, so an apology, is not really necessary. But, I do appreciate it? [ It kinda felt good, in a very strange and twisting way. ]

[fabricates]

Stop taking the blame, dumbass! Just accept my dumb apology and get this over with, ok?

[Apologizing just makes Vriska feel kind of sick, and leaves a bad taste in her mouth. Like grub sauce gone bad or something. Bluh. She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't whenever it comes to him. Though somewhere in the back of her mind, she feels a little better.]

[pushedaround]

No, but okay.

[ He'll drop it for the sake of keeping this civil, and while he's still uncertain and possibly more confused than ever, he's glad that he had this talk with Vriska. ]

Yeah, um, that's all I wanted, to say. [ He'll just ... scratch on the back of his neck and shrug, kinda waiting for her to tell him to get lost or something. ]

[fabricates]

So? Did you forget how to walk or something? Or do you need a tour around this shitty tower?

[Not that she'll... give him a tour.]

[pushedaround]

No. I should, leave.

[ This- this is good right here. He should walk out now before he ruins everything. With that thought in mind, he gives her an awkward wave as he turns to leave. ]

Bye, Vriska.

[fabricates]

Later.

[Finally. She didn't think she could take another minute of this. Now that Tavros is here, she needs to prepare herself to deal with him. She sits down back at her terminal, staring down at her hands awkwardly. She kind of can't believe she apologized.]
