on potential loss of close CR

[dicey]

We should get warnings when people are going to leave the city. It's really not fair that we don't. I know, I know, you have no control over this stuff and you wouldn't really care to change things if you did; we have already esta8lished that I'm too "fictional" for you to give that much of a shit a8out! So I'm not even going to 8other to ask you to fix it. Whatever. I'm just saying.

There are things I'd say and do if I knew something like that was coming up, that's all. Like "You understand me 8etter than anyone else does" and "I'm not going to forget that you were the one who came and got me when I was hiding away in that a8andoned 8uilding", and other stuff that's too sappy to say under normal circumstances. May8e even the "l-word", who knows. If you say that to someone who's leaving you'll have the satisfaction of getting it out there, and they won't have too long to grum8le and call you a fool. Win-win.

Or lose-lose, because of the leaving thing.





I'm not going to let anyone else move into his house.

I don't really care about other mes. Call her whatever you want; it's not like it affects me. ... Me me.

[samantha_grey]

Oh god, I wish I could remember you said that. I'd love to tell her you told me to give her a nickname. The face she'd give me would be worth it.

[dicey]

I didn't tell you to. I just said I didn't give a fuck.

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, but wouldn't stop me from lying about it. The truth is meant to be stretched now and again.

[dicey]

Whatever. I still think you're weird. Weirder now, maybe.

[samantha_grey]

Eh. I don't pretend not to be. I am a little curious why you think I'm weird.

[dicey]

Dating Eridan isn't a good enough reason?

[samantha_grey]

[She blinked.]

Ok, yeah. Point. Even I'd say it was weird and unexpected how that played out. I started out after Gamzee after he damned near killed me with that club of his.

[dicey]

Don't tell me you're dating him, too.

[samantha_grey]

...is that insane asylum reject even capable of a stable relationship? No. I figured out there was something just wrong with him about the time Eridan pissed me off enough to change my attention.

It was a horrible mistake on my part. I'm just glad I never let him touch me.

[dicey]

Yeah.

... I guess my relationships are pretty messed up too. This guy I'm talking about? He tortured my moirail with nightmares and then my moirail killed him. And he killed me, too.

[samantha_grey]

... your love life's as fucked up as mine. I guess neither of us really has much reason to insult the other.... that much.

Ignoring the whole 'you're seriously dating eridan' part. I'm used to that by now.

[dicey]

You should be. It's probably never going to stop.

... You asked who the guy was before. His name's Pitch; he's a fear spirit. You probably don't know him, but I guess you might? There are a lot of emotionally repressed douchebags out there, but who knows.

[samantha_grey]

[She knew Jack, but not Pitch. They'd gotten lucky on that one so far.]

No, he hasn't made an appearance yet. There are definitely, however, a lot of those roaming around, and I've known a few who tried to kill me in the past.

Screwed one or two of them too. [And she'd tried to kill her share.]

[dicey]

Gross. I don't want to think about him screwing people.

[samantha_grey]

Then don't. I wasn't talking about screwing him anyway.

[Which meant she was talking about screwing .... which meant Eridan got...

ewwww]

[dicey]

Just people like him. Eww.

[samantha_grey]

heh, it has its upsides. Still, I'll get out of your hair, Vriska. This's been ... interesting, even if neither of us will remember it.

[dicey]

Wait, no. Now you have me curious. What upsides?

(I'm pretending he is completely unrelated to this so I don't gross myself out even more.)

CW: Yeaaah, she's sharing stories.

[samantha_grey]

[She almost snickered. Leading Vriska along could be deceptively simple at times. You just had to not try.]

That bulge your race is so proud of can do things no human ever did. [She shuddered.] And he's always so much better at it when i get him really pissed off. He's boring when he's gentle.

He damned near drowned me one time. Dragged me under the lake with him so I had to breathe when he kissed me.

[Remember, Vris. you asked.]

Re: CW: Yeaaah, she's sharing stories.

[dicey]

Okay, ew. Ew. New rule: no stories about Eridan either! God.

[samantha_grey]

Hey, don't blame me! You're the one who asked. I mean, if you want to know something else, I could talk about girls with poisonous skin. That might be a little less 'eww'.

[dicey]

Tell me. That sounds cool.

[samantha_grey]

Sure... why not? Genevieve was the biggest closet case you ever met. Her mother must have done one serious number on her, because she did not like interacting with people. A lot of that had to do with the fact that the oils on her skin were laced with a nerotoxin. If you weren't immune or your body couldn't handle the poison, she'd paralyze you with a touch. Too long, and you'd have a heart attack and die.

Girl had all kinds of problems just talking to people. Thing is, back home... well I have a way of coming back from when I get hurt. Cut my tail off and it'll grow back. Long as I'm not dead, anyway. So, a poison like that just hurts a little. You get used to it, and besides a little pain's kind of a rush in bed.

When she found out she could touch me... she kind of didn't stop. It was like a drug for her. She couldn't touch many people, so she really got close to anyone she could for a long while... and she could be really aggressive. Like knives, teeth and claws aggressive.

[dicey]

What's a closet case?
