[week one - saturday]
[ Vriska will find Laura, her friend, her corpsey pal in all things being-dead related, and boy, she sure seems steamed about something! ]
Laura! There you are. I am still so fucking pissed off! I can't fucking believe those assholes tried to pin the murder on you for some shitty reason to do with Nino being a dumbass! Like that had anything to do with you. All these assholes are all [ falsetto ] "Oh no! We can't kill anyone, that's just wrong! Oh, but accusing this corpse must be okay, let's kill her, that sits just fine with our shitty selective consciences!" Ugh!
[ kicks?? sand???? gosh is she mad. ]

[ kicks?? sand???? gosh is she mad. ]
no subject
I told you it'd happen. The moment they find a work around where if I die, Nino doesn't, I'm just toast. Gone like that.
[ she snaps her finger, giving a snort as she takes another drag on her smoke. god damn jerks. ]
no subject
[ uh. wow
she's not done ranting either. she starts pacing back and forth, working herself up into a fine furious froth ]
Do you know how much I fucking hate this? Pretending to be nice to these easily duped nookwhiffers? They're so useless it makes me want to barf, constantly! But they're all soooooooo sure their morals are right, that we're all going to figure this out and everything will magically be okay and we'll all end up holding hands and singing cutesy little wiggler songs while rainbows dance overhead!
[ kicks. the sand again. ]
It's bullshit! All of this is bullshit, Laura! Everyone on this fucking island is a goddamn hypocrite, not that they'd ever let you point that out to them. I didn't ask for this! And neither did you!
[ finally out of steam, she'll just. angrily throw herself down on the and somewhere nearby, sulking and angry. ]
It has been a week and I am already tired of pretending to be all nice and caring. I should be more like you and just stop giving a shit what they think.
no subject
she'll wait for vrisa to finish though because she says anything, just smoking and watching her both amused and impressed, tbh. ]
I definitely agree with you there, Bluebell.
[ that's her new vriska related nickname. she's trying it on for size!! ]
Well, I do support being more like me and not giving a shit but... I don't know. One of us should not be on everyone's shitlist all the time, right?
[ that is to say, laura doesn't care what happens to her, not really but she doesn't want vriska to take her example and end up dying for it. that... would not be right, would it? ]
What do you want to happen at the end of this? What's your dream end here?
no subject
anyway she's just kind of steaming away in the sand, downcast and pissed off and a whole jumble of negative things. at least until Laura calls her "bluebell," which gets her to look up at Laura like she might be crazy. Still, she ... doesn't actually protest the nickname. she'd act like it was dumb and annoying, but if she did, laura would probably figure out that deep down she kind of likes it. no one has ever given her a nice nickname like that before.
Vriska will huff, the sound somewhere between a laugh and a sigh, and start fussing with the sand around her. Idle, restless motions. ]
... save the day, be a big hero and get everyone home? That is kind of the ideal, I guess. [ ... ] People think I'm a monster, and that's fine. They're not wrong. But I have always been sincere about wanting to help. And I'll do it again here, even if nobody wants me to. I will drag these useless sacks of shit to victory kicking and screaming if I have to.
no subject
aw, shucks. it was either bluebell or bluebird with the way vriska seems too blush all the time around her but bluebell seemed cuter. laura does like giving out nicknames and she can't help but grin a little at the easy acceptance of the new one. ]
... So, right off the bat, I don't really care but I noticed and I just have to ask or the curiosity's gonna bug me. You act a little like you've gone through this before -- like you've had people trying to oppose you for trying to be a good person or something. Don't know how many people here have actually given you shit but it's only been what, one week? I think you're projecting a little, V.
no subject
(yes you do)
Also, like, she really has no idea how to handle Laura? She's never really had an adult presence in her life that, like, forced her to examine things. She ends up kind of staring a little, her mouth slowly twisting into a crooked frown. ]
Uh.
[ ... ]
I ... uh, I guess you're probably right about that, actually. I am more just kind of assuming they'll think that eventually, since most people do? I know that sounds melodramatic, but that is just kind of how my life has gone!
[ ..... ]
Not to mention victory in this kind of game will definitely be the kind of fucked up most of them don't want to deal with!
no subject
so laura ends up pausing too, cigarette halfway to her mouth before slowing taking it inside and taking a drag. she breathes out the smoke in a soft plume as vriska speaks and well. she supposes she's in this conversation now, huh? ]
Then change your life.
[ it's not exactly that simple, no, but that's sort of the way laura works. she doesn't like shit, she changes it until she likes it. sometimes that works (marrying shadow)! sometimes that doesn't work (getting shadow arrested because she got bored)! so. you know. ]
You could probably take a poll or something, I guess. See what people are thinking about for the very end. Kind of like what I just asked you. You can't know what everyone wants or what they're ready for unless you ask them.
no subject
After a beat of silence, Vriska will snort, one finger drawing idle swirls in the sand. ]
Like it's that easy.
[ Muttered. ]
Anyway. You are probably right, again. I just never really got in the habit of asking people what they wanted! I would come up with plans and then I would execute them. Whether the people involved liked it or not!
[ ... man, self-reflection sucks. ]
Which is probably why my plans were never all that popular, even if they usually worked.
no subject
Well, if you're going to be a baby about it, yeah. It's going to be hard. But if you're not scared of fucking up a few times, changing it should be a breeze.
[ THEN... AGAIN... SHE DID SEND HER HUSBAND TO JAIL BECAUSE OF HER OWN INDIFFERENCE SO. don't listen to laura, she sucks. ]
Yeah, people don't really like when other people decide their shit for them. But you're like, what, a kid? It says six on your profile but that doesn't seem right, so. Point is, if you want to play the hero and think all these people are too stupid to do it along with you, maybe try to get them to agree with by not yelling at them.
[ a shrug. ]
I mean, you can yell at me all you want, I don't care. But I'm getting the feeling their reaction to you gets under your skin a bit more than you'd like it to.
no subject
she is also going to bristle when laura calls her a baby, but she doesn't snap. at least, not yet. she just listens, mostly out of a kind of morbid curiosity. is this what having an adult around is like??? ]
I'm thirteen in human years, for the record.
[ just saying. ]
You know what, you're right. About all of this! I am letting all these chumps get to me, and I shouldn't be! I guess I was just a little depressed, because of some shit that happened before I got here, but you know what? Fuck it! I am sick of letting that spineless dweeb have any influence on my life. [ what dweeb? who the hell is she talking about oh wait she's not done talking ] I am going to do whatever the fuck I want. Whatever I think is right! I will play the hero and I will be nice to everyone and I will get shit done. That is what we need around here! A doer, instead of someone who just sits on their ass and whines constantly.
[ vriska what do you think you were doing like
three seconds ago
wait she's still not done. ]
Thank you, Laura. I think I just really needed a kick in the ass to be less of a little bitch about things, haha.
