planning to reserve at abaxcity

wow, so ok, thanks a ton for planning on tossing me into some incredibly dangerous city-thing without basically any warning whatsoever. really. itotally appreciate it. you are tossing me into the wild and deadly role-play serengeti, here. it's a pretty big step!

you are a completely level-headed and kind-hearted soul and i applaud you, mun.

i'm glad one of us is happy here because I'M DEFINITELY NOT.

i mean, ok, the ""perpetual night"" gimmick is kind of cool?? ooooh. spooooky. but it's not like that hasn't been done basically ten million and a half times already, sheesh. you are acting like it is some kind of bid deal! which is wrong, because it isn't. this is a cold hard fact.

but i guess it's cool that there's gonna be a lot of people there, if i'm stuck on this fucking magic yellow spaceboat for another year i swear to god i am going to go *INSANE.*

Wow, you're like twelve.

You're gonna get eaten.

wow uh, no? i *just* turned fifteen, so i'm basically an adult. the pinnacle of intense mangrit and being old and mature and stuff.

Oh, woooowww, fifteen.

That's a HUGE difference, woowwwww.

_{[... Yeah, because being only two years older than him, she can totally talk.]}

oh my god, shut the fuck up. i'm way different than i was when i was twelve! when i was twelve, i still thought con air was the shit and that alien trolls weren't real and actually kind of cool.

man, those were some dark days.

Yeah, uh, being better than you were as a twelve-year-old isn't exactly a huge accomplishment.

That's like saying that you're better than a bug.

yeah well, my twelve-year-old self didn't have awesome wind powers either. so i think i can rest my case.

Pretty sure MOST twelve-year-olds don't have awesome wind powers.

_{[... But, yeah, powers will be a boon in Abax. Heather kind of wishes she had some. You know, the conventional kind. The kind that are awesome and cool and not creepy and mostly useless.]}

that's because most twelve-year-olds are gross and obnoxious and nobody likes them. FIFTEEN-year olds, though? we're pretty much the best.

except davesprite.

he's a dick.

Mm, nope. Hate to break it to you, but fifteen-year-olds are pretty much universally reviled.

I mean, you guys can't even get driver's licenses yet.

so??? i totally drove my dad's car once. actually i sort of flew it, but whatever, who cares. fifteen-year-olds are still awesome, end of discussion.

John?

[His very angry attitude was starting to worry her. Even if it wasn't her John she was used to him flying around and pranking people.]

ummmm?? oh gosh you're one of the trolls but i can barely remember who you are. sorry. it's been kind of a long time since i've talked to any of you.

shit, uh. were you the one that i called a boy that one time? sorry for that too.

Well I Have Been Told I Look Like A Troll From What I Suppose Is Your Universe

But My Name Is Kanaya

kanaya, right! that was your name. well i guess it's nice to hear from you again! pretty refreshing to talk to someone who isn't sucking someone's face off, related to me, or a furry. or all three.

what's up?

You Shouldn't Be So Hard On Your Sister But Knowing The Situation I Can Understand Your Frustration
Nothing Is Up Really It Is Just That You Aren't My Reality's Version Of John So It Was A Little Startling To See You Lacking Your Arrows

What's that I hear?
Are you saying that you don't think you can HANDLE it, John?

...
vriska????
wow, it's really been a while! you have NO idea how cool it is to get to talk to you. i've been looking for you in the dreambubbles everywhere but i can never find you around! you're one slippery customer.

also, shut up, i never said that! it's just gonna be a bit of a change for me, is all.

Well, good, it should 8e cool to talk to me!
Considering all your alternatives, I'm pro8a8ly the 8est option you will ever have. I guess you're just lucky I decided to respond to this in the first place, huh?
Oh, you know me, 8usy 8usy! I have so many things to do these days, it's really hard to pencil time in for casual convers8tion.
8ut I guess I can make an exception every once in a while........

I don't know, John.
Do you really think you're up to snuff????????

yeah, you've got a point there. i mean, everyone on this battleship is pretty nice and all, but i swear to god if i have to put up with them for much longer i am going to explode.
pfft, well maybe not the *BEST* option, because talking to dave or rose or karkat would be pretty awesome too. but you're pretty great too, so don't worry.

vriska, please. i am insulted that you would think i would be anything less than the up to snuffiest guy out there. you're the one who wouldn't shut up about how great and special we were because of our sock head pajamas and stuff.

or something like that, i don't remember exactly. it was a long time ago.

See? That's what you get without me! Endless 8oredom.
Ugh, don't even mention those people. Do you know how much of their horseshit I have to deal with these days????????
It was may8e cool to meet a human in person for the first 8 seconds, 8ut it got old REALLY fast.
And do you know what's worse than one Strider?
THREE!!!!!!!!
I'm practically pulling my hair out dealing with their 8ackwards notion of irony. And they are also very good at getting themselves killed. I am not accepting respons8ility for their stupidity!

[ Except for that one time it was her fault...but it was for a good cause! Dirk even thanked her and everything. ]

You used to 8e, at least. You've pro8a8ly just 8een sitting on your ass all this time since you didn't have anyone as awesome as me to tell you what to do, huh!

[ GOING TO IGNORE THE WHOLE REMEMBERING THING...he actually knows who she is. That is a huge improvement. ]

Edited 2012-09-30 09:22 (UTC)

endless boredom and endless amounts of being totally ignored because the only two people around that are sort of interesting to talk to are too busy sucking face and breaking up to hang out with me.

ok, i don't mean that, nanna is pretty interesting to talk to, too, but there's a certain line to be crossed where hanging out with your really great grandma goes from being mildly acceptable to being downright lame.
that line has been crossed.
the line and i are basically in different countries right now.

wait, did you say THREE striders??? ok please tell me that dave sprite isn't there at least. and here i was hoping to get away from that guy. it'd be nice to talk to the real dave though, is he there?

...well, sort of?? there isn't really much else to do around here. :/
but i've been catching up on my gaming at least! even if everyone sucks at it but me.

_{[Oh, definitely. Admittedly, there's a lot about Vriska that's pretty vague to John by this time, but he certainly still cares much more about her than he let on to Jade.]}

Edited 2012-09-30 09:32 (UTC)

Gross!
8ut you know what? I tooooooootally understand. I guess it was kind of a huge 8lessing that mine decided to move out 8efore I had to 8ear witness to all the levels of human m8ing rituals. Talk a8out rude!

Ugh, no! Thank god. I don't know what I would do if he showed up too.
I'm going crazy as it is!
8ut the real Dave is just as annoying. I really don't know what you see in that guy!
At least his adult version is more tolera8le. SLIGHTLY, mind you.
And then you have his adult human lusus' counterpart, like when was around your age.
I don't know, John, 8ut there is too much Strider in this place and I'm just counting down the days until it implodes.
Do you see what kind of hell I have to deal with on a nightly 8asis????????
They're lucky I'm such a p8tient and 8enevolent gru8sitter.

Well, see?
If you want a real challenge you should 8e t8king ME on.
:::;)
You've clearly lost your way without me.

but it's still sad that she died, though. your crazy spidermom thing, i mean. :(

ok, phew, thank goodness. i'm pretty sure i can put up with any strider AS LONG as it's not dave sprite and his stupid sister hogging ghost butt.
c'mon, dave isn't THAT bad. i mean he's sort of a douche and kind of lame but he is still my best friend! but i guess this means you two haven't been getting along. that's too bad.

i'm not sure what to think of an older dave! like, i dunno, i guess i sort of just assumed we weren't ever going to grow up or something weird like that. and i DEFINITELY don't know what to think of "adult human lusus counterpart around my age". that sounds way to spacey-wacey timey-wimey for me, thank you very much.

haha, i don't think i really want to fight you, vriska! can't we just hang out instead?

Yeah, I guess that kind of sucked, 8ut she was always so needy and getting the 8lood stains off my 8oots was more trou8le than it was worth.
And I got to see her again when I prototyped her, 8ut in hindsight, that was a really stupid idea!

Okay, so normally I would just accept such scorn for idiots as an improvement, 8ut you're making me curious.
What's the deal with this sudden 8eefgru8 with Davesprite?
And why is he stealing ghost 8utts?
Do you know how creepy that sounds????????

Eh, he's okay.
I mean, in comparison to how completely immature and impossi8le his younger self is!
Seriously, at least on Trollian there's a handy 8lock feature. In real life his mouth never SHUTS and everything that comes out of it is just insistent spewing of........just, stupidity!
Dirk is okay.
I mean, WAS okay 8efore he decided to perhaps 8e the stupidiest of stupid idiots.
At least he knows when to shut up!

Whaaaaaaaat?
Are you too scaaaaaaaared?
Is that what I'm hearing, John? Are you too afraid to lose to a girl????????

still.
:(

ugh no, he wasn't stealing ghost butts, he HAS a ghost butt. what he was doing was spending all of his time with jade doing whatever things relationship-y people do, and then he goes and dumps her and doesn't even come to my birthday party because of it. he's such a asshole.

this all seems pretty confusing. dealing with talking to you guys from the past and future was weird enough as it was, i'm not sure if i can handle doing the same thing in person!

yes, of course that's the reason. i'm paralyzed with fear at your great and mighty spidery troll vixen badassery. swoon!

Stop trying to m8ke me feel all nostalgic!
It's way 8etter this way.
Totally.

Okay, I got most of that, 8ut that sounds like the typical "too cool for schoolfeeding" asswipe that he normally is, yep.
O8viously Jade just has poor t8ste!
Why would you even want to d8 anything with feathers, anyway? I can just imagine choking on them when you're trying to swap spit.
Talk a8out a mood killer!

Trust me, this place is like way l8mer than anything in your session could think of.
Sure, there are random monster attacks and people killing each other left and right, 8ut after a while you just have to stop and think, "What's in it for me?"
"What am I getting out of all the pointless 8loodshed and all these daymares come true?"
To 8e honest, I haven't answered that yet.
Which is pro8a8ly why I'm going craaaaaaaazy!

Just like I thought!
Well, I guess if my great and mighty spidery troll vixen 8adassery is too much for a lowly pink and squishy human such as yourself, I might 8e a8le to m8ke some time for us to hang out.

if you say so, vriska.

at least normally he's less of a completely intolerable and inconsiderate douchebag. and i'm not going to judge jade for dating him on anything, but i think it probably is for the better that they broke up. i can't even IMAGINE all the feathers she must have gotten in her stuff, i don't even see the guy all that much and i still find up finding them sometimes.

hmm...maybe the answer just isn't that clear?? or maybe there just isn't one. what if we're just sort of supposed to survive? huh. sounds a little too soul-searchy for me.

hehe, that sounds like a plan to me. if you can fit me into your super busy schedule, of course.

I don't knoooooooow.
To me it sounds like you're already judging him. And you should!
Since when did she think m8king out with some feathery asshole was cooler than hanging out with you????????
You are totally within your rights and reason to 8e upset!
Davesprite is like, at least 8 steps less cooler than you.
On a good day.
And you're cool MOST of the time. Sometimes I have my dou8ts.

In8etween undead inv8sions that's kind of the thing TO do, other than watch your "allies" du8iously m8ke you question why you call them allies in the first place.
You sure know how to pick 'em, John.

Maaaaaaaay8e.
If you ask me nicely!

dave sprite and jade can hang out with whoever they want to. is it my problem? nope!! not my problem at all!!!

...but i guess it did feel like sort of a dick move on their part. sort of.
heh. most of the time? then 88% percent, maybe? or 888% even?? because, come on, let's face it, i pretty much *bleed* cool.

that seems like it's sort of the way it is with you all the time though. just saying.

hey, i thought the way i asked was nice enough already!

Except it totally IS your pro8lem when it's encroaching on your time with your most important friends!
Hogging people is, like, the ultimat8 rude.
He really owes you for 8eing so p8tient and understanding!
I think you should cash in your nice guy card, John. Demand some retri8ution!

Uhhhhhhhh, that's for me to decide, doofus!
I said MOST of the time, didn't I?
Isn't that enough for you?

I just have high standards! It's not my fault most people tend to completely fall flat on their f8ces.
Does that mean I should lower my standards?
Heeeeeeeell no. It just means that I need 8etter friends!

Mmm, not nice enough.
Try again.

Edited 2012-10-02 04:09 (UTC)

i don't know about that, exactly. i'm sure if i was just able to talk to him things would be ok? but the thing with dave sprite is that he is SO hard to talk to. he gets so touchy about everything!

no. i am hijacking this decision train and naming myself the conductor. and my first order of business is to designate my cool status to "always and permanent."

i dunno, sometimes your standards seem a liiiiiiiittle too high, vriska. i mean, it's just a thought.

uuuugh, fine!
oh, ms. serket, most thoughtful and charming of all of the maybe five alien trolls i've met, would you be soooooo kind as to do me the pleasure of sharing my company? i am totally batting my eyelashes and everything.

everything proceeds to make even less sense the more of you arrive
unless you can rationalize why you were on a yellow submarine
in before a shitty john lennon joke because f u
but just fyi
the shitty yellow spaceboat might be better than the shitty perpetual night city
unless you like space gorillas and potentially dying
also have fun
you wake up in the morgue butt naked everytime

hi dave! just as surly and sassy as ever, i see. it isn't even a submarine, it's a *battleship*, so shitty john lennon jokes don't even have anything to stand on here.

i think you need to experience the shitty yellow spaceboat before you say that, dude. it's pretty ridiculous.

although it'd be a lot more tolerable if you were there, i bet. unless you started macking on jade too, in which case it would be EVEN WORSE.

sassy is my middle name unbeknownst to everyone else
the more you know
well
have you died while being on your shitty spaceboat
this is an important question because theres an actual death rate in this city
and its a lot higher than advertised

haha uh no
youve mistaken me for another dave
probably your kind of a snot friend whos some crazy alternate younger me
mostly because i dont really know a jade to mack on
and if youre all the same age
shes probably a third of my age
but hey
whos counting

i knew it.
i knew it all along.
but uh, not on the ship because there's nothing on the ship that's actually badass enough to do any killing?
but i guess i died a few times before we started the scratch, though.

oh.
sorry?
you guys type pretty similar so i guess i got confused.
vriska said there were three of you striders where she is. so you're the older dave one that she said was pretty tolerable??

my secret exposed
im constantly reminded that the game you kids play is a load of shit when dying a few times is like the norm

im not offended
universal dave strider element right here
shitty typing
did she say that?
shucks i owe her one for putting a positive word in for me
yea
im the older dave who apparently grew up in completely different circumstances

it was never even a secret to begin with, dude.
maybe, but that doesn't really make the experience any better, to be honst.

well i mean, some daves are just better than others, but you seem pretty cool so far, so don't worry about.
and yeah, she did! in that roundabout way of hers. it seemed like she liked you quite a bit, really! she didn't insult you the whole time she was talking about you, for one. that's a pretty big step.

different circumstances? o:

dying generally doesnt

ive garnered the acceptance of my pseudo teenager friend
the amount of joy right now cannot be described
im finally having the teenager life ive always wanted
weve been roommates for awhile
shes pretty cool
cooooooool even
i actually counted all those os im such a fucking good friend

i never played sburb
we never met from my point of view

...
let's talk about something else.

you better be pleased! the approval of an egbert is a big shiny medal of honor. you better not let me down, now, ok??

i'm glad to hear she's been getting along with someone at least.
i got the impression that she didn't really have the best of friends before :/ but i guess they had some good reasons...
that's not the point though! i'm glad to hear it.

what?? really? that's...kind of hard to imagine, actually.

i would be an utter disgrace if i let you down
gotta please gotta please

she doesnt exactly play friendly all the time

yea well
it was hard to imagine anything you guys told me
that shit is whack
but i never met you or jade
jade passed by in the city but that was pretty short lived
i grew up to making movies
ill be sure to share all the stories you want when youre in the city
storytime with old as dirt strider

i'm glad we're in agreement on this.

haha, i think she sort of has a different concept of friendly. which involves breaking legs and blinding people and stuff. i really hope she isn't doing a lot of that anymore...

i guess it can seem a little surreal if you didn't experience it for yourself! you know what this means, right?
we are going to have to have storytime.

shes been the most behaved young lady
mostly
i guess to make up for breaking legs shes gone all out on being snarky as fuck

oh boy
storytime
i cant handle the thought of it
please mr egbert
tell me about your fucked up game
im dying to know

being snarky as fuck is better than being being violent as all fuck, so that's ok in my book.

hey, who said i had to go first?
i asked you about this before you did, so you have to go first. it's basically the law, dave.

assuming i follow the law
i can tell you now ive broken plenty enough to have a lifetime in prison
a few times over
and probably most likely a death sentence or more
