[week two - saturday]

[ So, like, anyway, today sure happened a lot.

A few hours into the evening and Vriska is just ... chilling by the bonfire, staring pensively into the flames as she rather mechanically brushes her hair. It is looking a lot better than the hornet's nest full of secrets (and also hornets) it was looking like this morning. Like, not totally fixed, but better.

Honestly, she seems pretty lost in thought, but as Newt passes by on his way back to his hut, Vriska will actually wave at him with the brush. ]

Hey. Tired?

[ They all are, probably. ]

That's not what I mean, though I guess that would be pretty efficient? [ gives him a kind of incredulous glance. ] Another way out, Newt. You really think killing is the only way to do it? I don't.

Efficient. [His frown deepens.] That's one word for it. And, I don't know. I've been entertaining some theories as to how we're even here in the first place, but... If there's a way out, I doubt it's something that'll be accessible to us. Current running theory is that this is an incredibly elaborate simulation, and if that's the case, I think we're pretty thoroughly stuck.

Who knows. Maybe? Breaking down the constraints of reality is pretty ambitious! Maybe in other circumstances we could afford to think that optimistically. My goal from the start has been to find a way to break the rules. It's what I do! I will find a way. I always do.
