Should I assume that you're having the time of your life, and not directly ask you?
no subject
8arna8y!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
You stupid asshole, where the fuck have you 8een????????
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
What makes you think I'm having the time of my life, anyway?
lmao god love at its finest
Asleep, I suppose. I went back to the ship for a while. I don't remember much of it.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Were you worried about me?
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Because this place lends itself to so many fun activities, of course.
this is how your tiny alien sis shows she cares bunny
It fucking figures. You disappear for an extended snooze and everyone else is just supposed to 8e fine with it!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Fuck you, I wasn't worried! You're o8viously fine. 8ut you should still apologize for inconveniencing me!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Oh. Yeah, I guess so. Actually, if you just woke up, you might not know. We've got new recruits. There were a few I wasn't really prepared to see. :/
it must run in the family
How did I inconvenience you if you weren't worried about me? Did you need me for something?
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Like clockwork, I suppose. Are you alright?
bitchy, brutally-repress-your-emotions blood runs in these veins... also 1/3
What? No! I mean........
oops
Look, will you just shut up a8out it????????
no subject
I'm ok. It's just 8een a long few days. A few recruits have returned that don't remem8er 8eing here 8efore. ::::/
( 1/2 )
Shut up about it? Why would I, when I have the perfect opportunity to make fun of you?
no subject
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
That can't be easy, especially if you had close relationships with them before.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Are you certain that you will be alright?

>::::( Sometimes you are such a jackass!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
It makes me sort of proud. <3
no subject
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I don't know. I mean, yeah, I'll 8e ok. It's just 8een really jarring. This guy showed up that I used to have a crush on a long time ago! 8ut he's changed so much I 8arely recognize him.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
And people from my home are reappearing, too!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I just wasn't ready for it, I guess. It sucks to feel like you've 8een left 8ehind.
no subject
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
Why do you feel as though you're being left behind? If you don't mind me asking.
no subject
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
This is going to sound dum8.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
But Luke and I made this deal. We'd work on 8ecoming 8etter people together, and earning the trust of those we cared a8out.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
8ut then he ditched me. And now that he's 8ack........ he's already this gr8, no8le hero. He got there all on his own.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
We were supposed to make it together!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I know it's stupid to 8e kind of pissed at him, 8ut I can't help it.
no subject
I hope that you don't truly believe you haven't become a better person since then.
1/2
no subject
That's kind of you to think.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I'm not so sure.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
He was going to sacrifice his life to save his world or something. Would I do the same thing in his position? I don't know. Pro8a8ly not.
no subject
A willingness to do whatever is necessary is not defined solely by the sacrifice that one is willing to make.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
It doesn't have to be a life. It can be many other things. I don't think you're as unwilling as you think you are to make a difference.
no subject
I'm not a hero, 8arna8y! And I'm never going to 8e.
[ All I ever wanted. Like Kotetsu. ]
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I accepted that a long time ago.
no subject
You don't have to be a hero to be a good person.
FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org
In my world, being a hero is only a title. Embodying the ideals of such a figure is a completely different issue.
no subject
And you don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
She'd said that once, in a fit of what she later saw as overdramatic self-aggrandizing bullshit. But now here's Barnaby, logical, no-nonsense Barnaby, saying it to her in all seriousness and clearly meaning it.
But there's something slightly different about his idea, isn't there? She'd thought she could be a hero without being good. And look how that'd worked out for her! But being good withit being a hero...
Was a hero what she really needed to be? ]
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I'm not a good person either, 8arna8y.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I don't know. Look, it's not a 8ig deal.
no subject
By what definition aren't you a good person? I'd be interested to know.
no subject
Did you miss the part where I said it wasn't a 8ig deal? Just let it go!
no subject
Very well. If that's what you truly desire.
no subject
I don't feel like getting into an argument a8out what a shitty person I may or may not 8e, ok?
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
It's flattering that you think so highly of me, 8ut I don't deserve it.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Man. Sometimes I wish Sollux was still here. He'd sure set you str8 a8out how worthless and evil I am! Lol.
