hypertoxic | [week three

[week three - monday]

[ So first of all: hi Lief, wherever you are and whatever you're doing! You're not doing that thing anymore. Vriska just goes right ahead, loops her arm through his, and starts dragging him.

She will at least tell him it's important and to just shut up and come with her, so like, maybe roll with it? Sorry about her.

It takes some time, because she doesn't actually know where the girl she's searching for is, but eventually they track down Kyoko on the beach. Vriska will then drag both of them (literally in Lief's case, but figuratively in Kyoko's) to the nearest spot of shade she can find. It may be sunset, but she still doesn't like being out when it's bright. It's weird. ]

Good! I am glad I was able to get both of you. Lief, I don't think you overheard us, but Kirigiri and I were discussing something at the end of the trial! [ Flashes a grin at Kyoko. ] About getting everyone together. You remember, right?

[ Vriska will fold one arm over her chest and gesture loosely with her other hand. ]

Keep in mind trials are high-pressure, intensely emotional situations! I wouldn't really count on people to be at their most rational during trials. [ a beat. ] You know, as we obviously saw the other day. [ good job austria. ]

That is why I want to do this! Working and talking without time constraints and emotions running high may help us actually get results! Plus, [ nods at Kyoko ] she's got a point. Let's see how everyone acts in a group discussion without an axe hanging over their heads! We might pick up on some interesting changes.

...Lief isn't entirely incorrect, however. There will likely be yelling and those who refuse to cooperate. That sort of thing is, I suppose, usual in these sorts of circumstances. I myself may not have seen any reason to join such discussions if they didn't seem that useful...

[ but she had SOME character development. SOME. ]

...but simply acting on my own won't help if no one will listen to anything I learn later.

... There is also the fact that, even should it be productive, among our discussion will be those with the very roles we want to discern—and they will try and mislead us.

I think we should still have this talk, certainly, but it is something to keep in mind going in.

[ eye roll. except wait she can't so she just huffs instead. ]

Yeah, I know. Inevitably there will be bitching and moaning about whatever the fuck. We will have to deal with that when it comes. I'd rather make sure everybody, even the argumentative ones, can come! If we shut anybody out, we risk creating even more paranoia around here! So we will just have to figure it out.

[ Lief will also get a nod for his concern. ]

If we play our cards right, we may be able to spin that to our advantage! All three of us should be closely watching everyone's behavior. Kirigiri, I'll trust that job to you especially. If we start noticing anybody acting cagey, we can keep an eye on them!

[ Vriska smiles at them both. ]

If you're both on board, we should get started right away! We definitely need to have this fun little group chat before Thursday evening.

I'm willing to cooperate with you both. My primary goal is to gather information and find the truth while minimizing casualties, so...this will help with that. It would be good, also, if we could all discuss things before the trials.

[ she's literally not pretending that deaths won't continue to happen... ]

I'll give you my observations after the meeting, such as they may be.
