[ Vriska just grins broadly, sharp and mean, floating a foot up in the air with both hands shoved in her pockets. It's fun to mean in a little and stare at the other girl with these ghosty white peepers of hers. Remind her just why she has them. ]

Haha. Yeah, I 8et! 8ecause you'd never sta8 anyone without a gr8 reason, which definitely had nothing to do with personal vendettas or anything like that!
Your reason in this instance is definitely perfectly sound.
I totally 8elieve it!

[ Oh. God. Fuck, no. Vriska thought about this moment for a long time. What she'd say if she ever saw Terezi again. What she'd do. How she'd pretend not to care, act like the cool blasé bitch she's never really been and pass it off like no big fucking deal that she's been dead for eternity.

This wasn't...

Vriska's expression falls from a grin into open shock, tinged noticeably with concern. She touches down, ditching the floaty ghosty thing to just stand there impotently instead, taking her hands out of her pockets in order to do nothing with them.

She couldn't even convincingly lie now that her death was for the best. She wants to be alive too much. What she says after a long moment, haltingly, is: ]

I heard that in a doomed timeline I went on to fight Jack. And I did pretty well!
8ut also that you and Karkat died.
I never wanted that, you know.
So........

[ She shrugs awkwardly, looking away. ]

Yeah, well.
This is all my 8erserk ancestor's fault, anyway!
I knew her plan was shit when I heard it. And look how it's turning out!
What a disappointment.
8ut anyway.
........ I dunno.
I'm still glad you're alive.
Is that weird? That feels like it should be weird, 8ut it doesn't actually feel weird.
Look, it sucks 8eing dead! I h8 it. 8ut I've learned that my ancestor and I are not that different, and all my plans are shit too.
I can't even pretend that if I were in her place I wouldn't have fucked everything up as 8adly!
As much as I might like to.
What I am trying to say is that........
You don't have to apologize to me.
It needed to happen that way.
As for all the shithive stupidity going on right now........
