Haha. Cluck8east.
02
What! Hey. Why would you feel the need to ask me something like that!
03
I do not have any shenanigans plotted. Mostly.
04
There are always shenanigans, Ellie. Aaaaaaaalways. 8ut nothing that would get me tossed face-first into a mountain this time around.
no subject
well if YOU wanna dish you can be my guest
but i dont wanna turn into a downy downerson
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
uh
what about a mountain?
no subject
Pff. Ok, fine. No "downy downerson"s here!
[ Though the truth is that she'd really rather Ellie didn't know about her past. She yet holds out hope the other girl isn't one to read personnel files. Maybe Ellie is even the type not to hold a bit of wanton genocide against a person, but she doesn't want to chance it. At least, not yet. ]
02
What! You mean you DON'T know a8out that?
03
EVERYONE knows a8out that.
04
Haaaahahaha. Like hell am I telling you! You get to live in 8lissful ignorance and I get to live it down just a little 8it more. ::::)

wow you are so hurting my feelings right now
i might cry
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
im not actually gonna cry
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
and i am clearly NOT everyone
so like
is this like a sneaky way to say youre really clumsy or something
no subject
>::::P Cry your 8izarrely translucent alien tears! See if I care.
02
This is a sneaky way of saying that I made Gliese mad this one time.
03
Do not ever make Gliese mad.
no subject
and she threw you at a mOUNTAIN?
no subject
She is not to 8e trifled with. Ever!
no subject
fuck
no subject
oh my god
no subject
well are you
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
are you ok?
no subject
Wow.
02
I'm fine! Stop worrying. It's ok.
03
This happened a while ago! A couple of months at least. Not long after we got to Ajna.
04
And 8esides, I am made of pretty tough stuff. W8, you know I'm not human, right?
no subject
uh
i do now
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
but for the record people who get both arms broken and thrown into mountains arent usually fine
thats totally not a word that gets used
no subject
Oh. Whoooooooops. ::::P
02
I am an alien! And my species is much more resilient than humans.
03
Trust me. I've 8een through way worse than some 8roken 8ones!
04
8ut that is why I keep saying not to mess with Gliese. I have fought some powerful enemies, and she 8lows them all away!
no subject
having way worse than broken bones doesnt make it better that just means things are extra fucking shitty
[There's a pause here, where Ellie scrubs her hands over her face. Man she just does not get these aliens and superheroes. Just because they can get beaten to a pulp and survive doesn't mean it hurts any less. Does it?]
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
but ill put it on my list
dont piss gliese off or else mountain
got it
no subject
........
02
It's true. The CDC is a 8rutal place to 8e.
03
I'm going to take a wild guess and say you were tricked into signing up.
04
Am I right?
[ She's not wrong. Vriska still thinks about the slow, wet cracking of her bones, the way Gliese touched her face and left her there, stranded miles away from camp.
Of course it hurts. But you learn to ignore it when pain is all you know. ]
no subject
no
i made a deal
[It isn't the first time she's been asked, but every time she has been, Ellie's found it's usually for the same reason.]
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
were you?
no subject
01
You willingly signed up for planet destruction? You didn't strike me as the type.
02
No. I knew exactly what I was agreeing to.
no subject
well i didnt know all the gory details at the time
but i knew i was making a deal
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
it was worth it
still is
no subject
Fair enough.
02
This guy I know signed up for some soda, or something.
03
What a dum8ass.
[ She does love you, Kotetsu. Really. ]
04
Anyway, I get what you mean. For all the shit they've thrown at us, given the choice again, I would still say yes.
no subject
hey vriska
what DID they trade you for?
no subject
Would YOU 8e willing to tell me YOUR reason?
no subject
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
someone back home was in trouble
i was probably going to have to watch him die before i got shot too
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
i had to do something
no subject
01
That is still a pretty no8le reason. My reason is not quite so glamorous.
02
I guess you could say I wanted a second chance.
no subject
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
a second chance for what?
no subject
Honestly? Myself. My planet is already gone. Most of my friends had a8andoned me. I didn't have anything else left. So I came here.
[ It aches to admit, and it's not even the whole of the truth. She knows it's a selfish choice and no matter how good a light she paints herself in it doesn't exactly sound great. Most people tend to assume she has a planet held over her head like everyone else. She hasn't corrected them on that assumption.
But as much as she doesn't want to scare Ellie off, it also doesn't feel right to lie to her the way she's been lying by omission to everyone else. ]
