Vriska: Be Talkative

[wagers]

_{[filter; Paradisa Veterans]}

So, I guess I'm joining the veteran's club at the end of the month. Yeah, okay, I know there's not really a club because what the hell is there is to celebrate or find momentous about being trapped in the same place for a very long time? But it's interesting to know how many of us stay for so long and how many of us leave in like, a month!

I guess I just want to know if there is anything interesting about your time spent here, should you choose to discuss it. Have you accepted the fact that the castle "just likes" you? Are you just dying for a way out? Are you attached to everyone here? Has this been anything like a coming of age story where you got character development and all that?

Inquiring minds wish to know!

_{[filter; Paradisa Newbies]}

So, have you all settled in yet? Yeah? How's that working out for you? Good? Terrible? Are you sad? Are you upset? Do you miss home already? Is there anything you want to know?

Haha, I doubt any of you want someone to ask you all these questions when you probably have a lot on your mind to begin with, but whatever! I'm in a talking mood. I need to see what you all are even going to be like. It's interesting, okay?

Hey! So. You know that thing that happens around this time every year? You know, that human holiday... the one with like, hearts and dumb stupid fluffy things? But it also gives people a chance to show off their awesome matesprits?

_{[filter; Aradia Megido]}

Hey, ugly! You've been quiet lately. Did you die again? Because that would be unfortunate.

[That actually gives her something to think about. And she'll dictate to the castle at large.

(This part is also filtered away from Aradia Megido and anyone who would tell her that she's even asking about this!) So there.]

Hey, so. That Valentine's Day thing. I know it's all for the people you have a soft spot for, someone you're crushing on, or even for friends who you are totally platonic with!

But what about people you hate? Like, the people you just really hate because they act like they're so much better than you but they're not but it's like, you can't really live without them? You know those people?

Does anyone ever do anything for those people on Valentine's Day? If so, what?

[And one more because why not.]

[wagers]

Wow, all those cats! You sure do need to find a best friend in Nepeta. But not too close of a friend because you'll probably get beaten up or something.

[Squint.] I don't know what you want me to tell you!

[Vriska]

[dupable]

You mean Valentine's Day? Which you kind of already said.

John (I keep writing Jogn)

[wagers]

Yes! That.

[PAUSE.]

So, do you want to do a thing for it? Or whatever.

I've settled in just fine. I'm not sad or upset. I consider this place more home than I do my own world. I don't have any questions at the moment, but I'll be sure to ask you if any come up.

forever!

[wagers]

Awesome! At least you're more well-adjusted than most, let me tell you. [Snort.] My homeworld sucks, too! This place is a pretty interesting replacement.

go away aradia filter; quickly tags on break whoa!!!

[samson]

Are you asking if there's like a reverse Valentine's Day? 'cause no, there isn't.

forever!

[wagers]

[Not!Dad, please.]

No! Not reverse Valentine's Day! Like, what do you usually do for the people you hate on Valentine's Day?

Awesome People Filter, of course

[cyan_maid]

To answer your first question, Vriska, I've never heard of a Valentine for someone you hate, but I do know that it is a troll thing. Perhaps a genuine gesture of...well, hatred, could suffice?

And for the second question, there's not a lot going on with me! What's new with you?

forever!

[wagers]

Okay, I guess I can punch her in the face or something. But that's boring. Hmm. Maybe a robot... something...

Lots of things!

I think I'm doing pretty good. My life back home was pretty weird, so I'm used to the sort of stuff that goes on around here. Don't like being stuck here much, but what can you do?

forever!

[wagers]

Whose life wasn't weird before they came here? I swear, maybe weirdos is just what the castle is looking for in potential victims!

[Guess who got an ego boost out of that? Go on, guess.]

I almost forgot about Valentine's Day. In fact, I don't really remember what it was like last year. If you are going to do something fur your quadrants, maybe I should do something for--[well, her only quadrant isn't here...]--my furriends, too.

Oh, to answer question, I guess I am not really up to a lot of things lately. After Wonderland, I haven't really been in much of a mood to do a whole lot. But what is new with you?

ew no neeptas allowed

[wagers]

I would think less of you if you didn't! [She'd call her quadrant master, but it's not like she has any filled right now! And she'd call her shipping master if she didn't find that stupid wall thing creepy!]

That place sure was stupid! Why can't things come to the castle again or turn the castle into things? At least we'd still have our rooms and it would be slightly less annoying! Bluh! Now I'm just thinking about how stupid this place is sometimes!

[mal_addict]

As much as the castle's obsession with the planet Earth is a constant thorn in my side, I admit, I've grown to like this place. It's almost a home now, really.

forever!

[wagers]

I know, right? I hate being talked to like some sort of alien [She pauses to facetiously laugh here.] just because I'm all talking about what's normal back home! I mean, I'm pretty sued to everything by now, but come on! Doesn't anyone know about culture shock?

Newbies

[originalcopy]

Meh, this place sucks. But no one is shooting at me, so I guess that has to count for something.

[wagers]

I'm not going to lie to you, it does suck a good amount of the time! On some days, I swear you'll probably want to get shot at though.

[sword_redemption]

I just don't get what we're supposed to do.

[wagers]

Anything that isn't killing or hurting other people or, for the most part, disturbing the peace. Everything else? You're good!

[lord_wizard]

Well I can't quite answer some of those questions, but I feel there is some manner of place for me here. Which isn't to say I wholly accept what the castle does to us. And I do miss home. Actually, it took being here nearly two years for another person from my own world to come here as well. I wish I knew what that meant. But there are also people here I value...people that I would not be in a hurry to leave...or vice versa.

forever

[wagers]

Who would accept what the castle does to us? That's just plain crazy! But yeah, I totally get you on that last part! I don't have very many friends here, but the ones I've made are pretty decent people!

vriska

[psych0p0mps]

No, I am still very much alive. You must not be trying very hard!

Aradia

[wagers]

Why would I actually want you dead again?

[kryptonian]

Wouldn't that defeat the whole point?

I mean, people seem to argue and fight every single day of the year. It's nice to have a holiday where it's supposedly just about you and who you like and not people you want to punch in the face.

[wagers]

Yeah, I get that, but... well, couldn't it also be said that you really shouldn't dedicate a single day to that special person in your life?

excuse you he's not a newb he's just differently-tenured check ur privilege

[iin2ufferable]

yeah that'2 iit you hiit the naiil on the head.

Sure is sarcasm up in here! [Chuckle.] That, or you're in a damn good mood for once! Let's see how long it lasts!

[eat_me_beat_me]

I've been here for two years last month. I dunno. I like it well enough, I guess. Better than being in jail.

I don't know about character development and all that bullshit, though.

forever

[wagers]

Really? Nothing you've grown into? Like, nothing you thought at the beginning and grew into over the course of a sweep?
