Nepeta: Take up statistics.

[rogueofheart]

[In an effort to better understand why her friends and/or other SGRUB/SBURB players leave or arrive and hopefully come up with a way to tell when they will return next, Nepeta has spent the last few hours digging through her journals, both old and new.

She's left with a set of numbers that predict nothing.

When she's finished, she huffs and drops her pen onto her journal.]

Well that didn't do what I thought it would.

Is this a game? If this is a game, why am I losing? I want to win! Tell me how I can win, Purrpeta. I can't be a loser, I have a rep to live up to.

[cyan_maid]

[Hey that's Jane's name isn't it, that's her friends' names too...]

What were you trying to do, Nepeta?

[rogueofheart]

[There's a light giggle at that. She is already a winner!]

It's not a game, Roxy. It's how many times a person has been in Purradisa.

[rogueofheart]

I was trying to see if maybe I could pick up a pattern. You know, to purrdict when someone is going to arrive next or who it would be. I don't know, it sounded like a good idea at first.

[goingrogue]

... Oh.

That changes everything then. I'm a total winner in this case. That means there's only been one of me, right? I am the only me? That means I win! I have no idea who most those guys are, but I'm assuming they're you're friends. Such a shame they're a loser, esp since I haven't even heard most of those names!

[rogueofheart]

They are all the other trolls or humans that have played the game. I thought maybe if I made a list of all of them since we are all kind of from the same universe sort of? Anyway, yes you are the only Roxy. You win!

[wagers]

[You know what tone she is saying this in.] That sure is a list!

[goingrogue]

Oh, I guess that does make sense. I can't believe how many Daves there are though. What a loser. He loses hardcore.

What about you though? If you're not up there does that mean you're a winner too?

[cyan_maid]

Did you record the dates people arrived and left, in the order of when they arrived and left? That might help with determining a pattern, though it'd be an awful lot of work...

[mal_addict]

...Are you starting back on the shipping wall thing again?

[rogueofheart]

There has only been one of me, so I guess that means I win, too? Even though this still isn't really a game.

1/2

[rogueofheart]

[rogueofheart]

AUGH! Why didn't I think of that?!

[rogueofheart]

[Vriska please.]

I guess I thought it would help figure things out.

[rogueofheart]

What? No! Seriously? No way. [The wall remains intact but this is most definitely not part of it.]

It's a list of how many times someone has come and gone here.

[cyan_maid]

I couldn't say, but you did have the right idea! Looking back at what the journals have to offer is the perfect starting point! So you shouldn't beat yourself up over it.

[rogueofheart]

But now I have to go back and find everyone all over again.

[cyan_maid]

Would you like me to help you? At least for as far back as my journal goes.

[rogueofheart]

Nah. This is my project so I should see it all the way through. Thanks, though.

[goingrogue]

Game or not, it means we are clearly the best and the castle likes us the most! Jane and Vriska too! Lookit that! We could totes have a the only one party!

... Though, then again I guess it could also mean the castle hates us. [ Sigh ] It's a shame it sent the others home. I miss having Jake and Dirk around and I wouldn't mind meeting more of your troll bros either...

[rogueofheart]

I didn't really talk much to Jake or Dirk. But they seemed nice. And I think you would like Equius a lot. He's really strong and polite and you could share void tips or something.

[goingrogue]

I didn't see him on the list, does that mean he's never been here? Equius, I mean. I'd totes love to meet him and be voidpals together. Not that I really know what all I can do other than blank out screens... Did he do the god tier thingy?

Jake and Dirk are p cool, we've been friends for a really long time, but I think I took them always being around for granite. Now that they're not here, it's like... [ Laughs. ] A void! Would figure, right?

[rogueofheart]

Equius is on the list. Right here! [She draws a tiny arrow beside his name.] Just once, though. I would probably do just about anything at this point to bring him back.

I think we're both guilty of taking our friends being here for granted. I never actually thought Purradisa would send him back.

oh GDIT im BLIND just goes with it ok

[goingrogue]

Oh... Whoops! He is, my bad. [ Laughs. ] Was he here long? What kind of things did the two of you get up to?

Yeah, same with Jake and Dirk... and for a while, I thought I lost Jane too. Even though, you know, she was right there. I've never not been able to just talk to them whenever I want.

fffffffff

[rogueofheart]

He arrived a little bit after me, and he stayed for almost a year. I just kind of wish it had been longer. There was so much more we had to do together. I wanted to take him exploring, and build a little fort in the Dead Zone for just us. I mean we had a lot of fun and there are definitely stories that would make his face blue with embarrassment, but. Yeah. You know.
