[week four - saturday]

[hypertoxic]

[ As soon as she can pry herself away from literally everybody assaulting her for discussions and answers and what have you, Vriska will sneak away as quickly and directly as she can to find the Chiefs. ]

We made a deal, [ she'll hiss, literally the instant she finds Hal. ] It's time for you to pay up.

Comments

[chiefexe]

Haha, nah. I did that last time. Only one set of folk need to die this time.

[ :) ]

[hypertoxic]

[ stares at him. ]

So, us. Which at this point is just me and Fie.

[chiefexe]

Haha, yeah.

[ Isn't that fun? ]

But you can't kill yourselves and you can't tell anyone else. This is your prize for last week. I honestly thought you'd die at the trial which is why I suggested Shinji but hey! Look at you, you wily survivor. Still pretty sure someone's gonna come after you but...

Fie? Bit of a toss up there. Especially when y'all Sirens have convinced the sailors you're oh so essential to surviving. Heck, look at how they reacted to Serph. S'why I let Neku have the gun, he was the only one thinking straight there.

[hypertoxic]

[ Vriska is silent for a long, long moment.

And then she'll hold up two fingers, her expression stony. ]

Two. I want two independent kills this week. And I will make your trial interesting, Hal.

[ Her sudden grin is wide and spidery. ]

If I can't tell the others how to end the game, then I will just end it myself.

[chiefexe]

[ Well, you got him interested enough to sit up. He does, swings a little in the hammock as he stares at her for a long, long moment and chews on his grass.

Then he smiles. ]

One independent kill. I give you the name of the Wickie. You can't kill Fie and you can't kill the Wickie. You also can't give the Wickie Fie's name.

You make that interesting and maybe I'll even throw in a little extra something for you to have when this is all done. A prize of sorts.

[hypertoxic]

[ Her frown twists into a faint snarl when he denies her the second kill, but she swallows the anger back down. Vriska folds her arms over her chest and considers him. ]

... what kind of prize. I want up front clarifications this time, Hal, no more bullshit.

[chiefexe]

[ He holds his hands up, innocent. ]

No bullshit. Name it right now and I'll tell you if I can do it or not.

[hypertoxic]

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

If she wants it... you give Jinah a clean slate. Let her start over without any of the time travel bullshit she's had to put up with. But only if she wants it.

[ Waves a hand, airy and dismissive. ]

I can sort my own life out and I don't need shit from you.

[chiefexe]

[ He smiles wide then, holding out a hand to shake. ]

You have a deal. I'm the honest one, by the way.

[hypertoxic]

[ ...

Vriska will answer his smile with one of her own, small and secret, and reach out to shake his hand. ]

Sure you are.

[ She'll turn to go, waving over her shoulder. ]

Pleasure doing business with you as always, Hal.

[chiefexe]

[ And just to call after her before he sits back down -- ]

The last Wickie is Lucina!

[ Please doing business, indeed. ]
