Vriska: Inquire

[wagers]

[Vriska's been wondering about this for a while, and with all the people on the expedition, perhaps she should be a little productive-- by her own means.

She'll write a little filter in her journal as she makes her way to the arcade.]

Hey there! If you can see this, you are just the kind of person I'd like to talk to!
(Just in case you're 8ad at what you do and needed a clue as to why a weird girl with 8lue text is contacting you.)
I'd like to share trade secrets, if you will. May8e see if we can help each other out.
Or something like that. ::::)


[And as she awaits for any responses she may get-- really, there has to be more out there aside from Aradia-- she'll locate a game in the arcade that she hadn't played in a while.

Because, let's face it. With nearing an entire sweep here? She's played practically every single game by now!

She'll be hovering over the blue controls, of course.]

Alright, time to solo this fucking dragon level! I got this!

_{(ooc. OPEN OPEN OPEN. Via journal, in person, step up and play that game with her! You know you remember back in the day this game was the shit!)}

Comments

[Passing through the game room, as any girl her age would be doing on a slow day like this, Mabel's eyes fall on--is that? Yeah! It's another one of those weird troll things! Not only that, she's at an arcade game she's never heard of.

That's enough for Mabel to walk over and peer over the side of the game. After all, she sounds like she's pretty confident at it, and she wants to see a master gamer at work.]

Hi! Whatcha playing?

[wagers]

[Wow, Mabel. Way to not be your age in the late 90s! How could you not hear of such a game before-- no, just kidding. Vriska hadn't even seen this game before arriving here. She just played it one day because "it looked cool".

In any case, she's not letting her eyes leave the screen. She's too busy mashing a button to kill some weird monster!]

You can read the game, can't you? It's right there. And don't hover too much, okay? You'll break my streak!

[bezazzled]

[WHOPS. Mabel scoots back just enough to stop invading this girl's personal space bubble. She tilts her head to regard the title of the game, not that it helps her understand what the game is about.

She watches her expression. So focused! Just like a true gamer.

Well okay, she's only partially watching her expression.]

How come your horns don't match?

Telepath Filter - Dictated Telepathically! =3

[ruined_jaw]

Trade secrets, eh? What'd you have in mind?

[Telepath filter]

[ino]

[well, she's not too interested in giving away who she is/what powers she has ... but, she is intrigued by this filter, a little. so she'll be writing in a different, unrecognizable handwriting]

Help each other?

Dat filter

[kungfuwitch]

What sorts of secrets were you looking to trade?

That filter

[inafadingcrown]

[Well, that's an interesting handwriting.]

What do you wish to know, precisely?

YES

[wagers]

[She'll switch to dictation!]

Well, I don't know! Depends how much you know about all this! I mean, I kind of want to improve on my own skills, and it's hard when I don't know a lot of people who share my capabilities!

YES

[wagers]

I can tell you all about what I can do! Then you, if you're better at me at those things or know other things I can do, you can help me improve my awesome powers!

FOREVER

[wagers]

If you want that to 8e a thing, that is.
We can have this mutual understanding and everything! It'll 8e gr8!

GOLLY GEE

[wagers]

Pretty much, I'd like to develop my powers! If I can try to find someone that is capable of doing that, we can be allies in all the mindbending throes!

[wagers]

[There's a scoff/SIGH at that girl's question, the troll's fangs gritting in the slightest. She better not break her concentration!]

I was just born that way, okay?

[bezazzled]

[If she does, she is certainly not taking the blame.]

I think it's neat! The other girl's horns matched, but yours are unique. It adds personality to your... personality! [Or something.]

[wagers]

The other girl sucks!

[She's either talking about Aradia or Nepeta. And, yeah, while she likes Nepeta way more, she can safely be comfortable with the claim of either troll majorly sucking.]

But thanks, I guess. [MORE BUTTON MASHING.]

[bezazzled]

You're welcome.

[She tries not to hover too much as requested, but the more interested she becomes, the more she's slowly wedging herself right beside Vriska, curiously enough where the controls for a player two are sitting.]

Wow! You're really good at this game! Can I play, too?

[wagers]

[UGH. There's a groan at that, but Vriska relents because oh wow this dragon level is actually a little challenging what.]

Whatever! But you better not slow me down or anything!

[bezazzled]

[She scoffs at that as she eagerly presses the start button for player two!]

Haha! No way. That's like, almost impossible. [snorts] Me slow you down.

[bezazzled]

...So how do you play this game?

[kungfuwitch]

I can try but I can't guarantee it'll be much use. I'm a witch so my powers are a little different than most people's here.

[inafadingcrown]

What precisely are your gifts, if I may ask? The language you have used in your filter is broad and can include a great many things.

dictated;

[dupable]

Dragon level? What are you playing?

[ino]

[ ... no, that sounds pretty worrisome to her]

What do you want to know?

[wagers]

I just want to see if there's anyone out there who can help me perfect my own a8ilities, really.
That's it! So simple.

[wagers]

[Witches? Bluh!]

Well, I'm a thief! So maybe I can steal a little bit of your time to see if that can be a thing!

[wagers]

Before I tell you, is there any guarantee that you'd be able to help me out, in any capacity?
