[week one - monday]

[ It is godawful o'clock when Vriska goes looking for Raven. We're talking like 3, 4 AM. What's sleep? For the weak, that's what.

Besides, chances for a truly private conversation are best when absolutely no one else will be around, and Vriska is very aware that humans are diurnal. Being nocturnal has some benefits, even on an obnoxiously sunny tropical island.

Anyway, hey. Looks like we're going to chill out by the campfire and chat, because when Vriska finds Raven there staring into the flames, she'll settle down in a chair beside the other girl. ]

Hey you.

[ Stretches her arms up over her head, leaning back in her chair to stare up at the oh so starry sky. ]

So what do you think about all this? Like, personally, without any other idiots around to bug us.

Fair enough.

[She won't push any further.]

You think it's going to be as easy for the other two as it will be for us?

[Fie and Serph, she means, because she's already counting Battler out.]

[hypertoxic]

I don't know. They're pretty quiet! And sort of tough to read. I don't think they're happy about the situation. I guess we'll see when it comes time for somebody to die.

[ Shrugs a little and tilts her head to watch the other girl. ]

I am most concerned about Battler. He's going to have an extremely hard time swallowing all this.

[hydrazine]

...Even people who think they couldn't do something like take a life can adapt to their circumstances. I've seen it before, when the stakes are high enough. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes around to our side over time.

[But she can't be certain about that, either.]

[hypertoxic]

That's what I'm hoping for. Which I know is fucked up! I know it is. But I think he has valuable experience that could help us, and this will all go a lot more smoothly if he contributes.

[ ... huff. ]

There's no telling right now. We will see how he feels when we have to pick our first real kill.
