[week one - thursday]
Laaaaaaaauraaaaaaaa.
[ Vriska mostly likes to move around at night and in the early mornings, as a general rule. But it's Thursday! The day before, you know, whatever the hell is going to happen with all of that. So she'll find Laura in the evening, while the sun is setting, well in advance of curfew. She doesn't like it, but she can deal with it.
At least Laura likes to chill in the shade, which Vriska also appreciates. She'll flop down next to her corpsey hatefriend with a beleaguered groan, as if the whole world is against her. ]
Why are people here so nice? It's annoying! So much fussing and meddling. Who cares!
[ Tilts her head to glance up at the other woman. ]
So, hey, why are you all gross and dead, anyway? I have been meaning to ask.

I'M HERE
We're all going to die anyway so it's kind of stupid. Just lean into it, I say.
[ but ah, that question. laura considers how she should answer. she was busy giving her husband's best friend head so they spun out and crashed? or fucking wednesday and his stupid bullshit. actually, wednesday and his stupid bullshit is better because it's still not her fault. they wouldn't have died if he didn't insist on it. ]
Some jerkoff God had me killed so he could steal my husband. He didn't expect my husband to bring me back to life though so I'm gonna fuck his shit up if I go back home.
HELLO FRIEND
[ Vriska will wrap her arms around her knees and hug them to her chest as she watches Laura curiously. The answer clearly surprises her: she blinks a few times, and then barks a sudden laugh. ]
No shit! That's fucked up. I have had my own run ins with annoying ass gods, though nothing quite that personal. I'm disappointed I won't be there to see you kick his ass when the time comes.
no subject
He's trying to start like, a war, I think? Which I don't really care about because either way, it sounds stupid. But he stole my husband and that shit isn't just something you let go, you know? Had me killed as some sort of sacrifice to him for Shadow to be convinced by. Duuuumb shit.
[ laura hates norse gods!!! they suck and she wants them dead ]
Should I ask about the whole eye thing now?
[ for vriska that is. ]
no subject
[ Her mouth quirks in a small smile. ] That's the thing! You're not the only dead person here. [ grins more widely ] Not that I've been advertising that fact! They can just think my bizarro white eyes are an alien thing, instead of what they are, which is a dead thing.
no subject
... Maybe.
[ shadow said he wasn't her puppy anymore. she's -- she's not really sure how to fix that, if she's honest.
at vriska's clarification, she looks a little surprised and then smiles. ]
Oh. That's pretty cool. But you're not... rotting? You're not undead, you're -- what are you? A ghost?
no subject
The questions get a sunnier grin. ]
A ghost is a pretty accurate way of putting it! I thought you would catch on. I am corporeal, but I have a bunch of cool ghost powers! ... or, I mean, I did. [ sudden frown. ] Before this place happened to me.
no subject
Yeah, I mean. If you're undead, you're rotting like me but if you're something else? It didn't sound like you were coming from a "no, I was dead before I got here and this feels like an afterlife" sort of situation. So, ghost is my first guess.
[ But ah, huh. That's pretty neat. ]
Do you think being dead just gives people superpowers? Because like, when I was back home I was so strong I could rip a guy in half like paper. Or throw someone across the room with the tap of a finger. It was super cool but, uh.
[ Now she's here. ]
no subject
[ That gets a crooked smile. ]
You too, huh. Laura, I had aaaaaaaall the coolest powers. All of them! Only some of them were related to being dead, but you can still do some cool stuff as a ghost. But it's all gone. Poof! Just like that. Pretty annoying! I wasn't quite as strong as you were, but I was a hell of a lot stronger than I am now, not to mention all my other cool powers that have gone up in flames.
no subject
It's probably so we don't just murder the robots or everyone else here and go home. What kind of powers did you have? Nothing too bullshit, right?
no subject
[ Vriska gestures with both her hands, grinning sunnily. This seems to be a topic she likes. ]
The best ones, obviously! I am a Thief of Light, which won't mean anything to you, but basically I can steal luck and turn any situation I want in my favor! Not to mention I have those cute fairy wings so I can fly and my dice and--
[ ... ]
Man, it is so lame they somehow nerfed our powers.
no subject
That sounds... fake but alright. How would that kind of power even work?
no subject
I could go into depth about the mechanism, but it is a lot of technical and complicated bullcrap that would take forever to explain. If it helps, this was in the context of a game we were all playing! A game which we could physically enter. If you know what video games are, it was basically like that, except real life! So you could level up and get powers and stuff. That is how I got mine, of course.
