On ashen affairs in carriero and... non-ashen affairs not in Carriero

[speakveryclearly]

[Your friendly neighborhood rainbow drinker, black and white dress and all, is seated at a writing desk with a sewing machine. She stares straight ahead, as if this is a video post on a jamjar game's network directed at the management, which in a strict sense it sort of is.]

You Know
There Are So Many Things I Could Say Right Now
Like How Unhappy I Am That We Went From Plotting A Cold Date To Cold-Blooded Murder In About A Week
Because Despite What You Might Think I Dont Really Like This Whole Highblood Logic Idea
As Much As It Resembles Drinker Logic
If Its Not Backed Up By Actual Rainbow Drinking Theres Really Not Much Of A Point
I Could Entreat You To Wait For Such An Appetite To Develop Until Said Backup Exists
But I Know That Is Going To Take A While
Im Not Really Sure How To Feel About That

Or I Could Make Some Traditional Complaints On The Meaning Of Auspisticism
And How Interfering And Sharing Constitute The Whole Damn Point
Particularly Because An Active Unrequited Preference Not To Share Is A Major Reason Why The Sharing Situation Is Necessary
And Similarly How Without Interfering The Entire Matter Would Only Be Worse

I Could Even Comment On The Recent Debacle In A Certain Community And How Appalled I Am At Some Of The Accusations That Were Made
Perhaps Take A Poll Of The Maryam Collective On Their Opinions With Regards To That Issue
I Could Also Make The Standard Entreatments Regarding Procrastination But We Both Know That If It Was Really What I Cared About At This Particular Time Neither Of Us Would Be Here

Maybe I Could Take A Shot From Whatever The Military Stronghold Based Games Most Unusual Location Is And Express Objections To "Electroshock Therapy"
After All Given The Simpers And Such With Which Certain Characters Mention It I Really Dont Think Its Going To Be Pleasant
But You Know What

[And she pulls a skirt out of her lap: One similar in length to the one she's most accustomed to canonically wear, but clearly one she's crafted some other time. ...and she could have crafted it a little better, because something -- or more likely someone -- has pressured its most major seam to the point that it has broken, rendering the garment effectively only a tablecloth. She lifts it up to place under the sewing machine and begins stitching it back together, leaning back in her chair with the widest, dorkiest grin on her face.]

After Last Night
I Think I Could Forgive You For Absolutely Anything

A part of me is curious 8ut a much 8igger part of me still thinks it's gross and em8arrassing!

That's not weird, is it????????

[speakveryclearly]

Well
You Kind Of Have To Become Accustomed To It
You Dont Just Jump Into The Filial Pail Right Away
You Slowly Graduate From Smooching To Sloppy Makeouts
And Then To Sloppier Makeouts
And Then To
Yeah
So That Reduces The Grossness Over Time And Replaces It With Increasingly Deep Curiousity

[dicey]

I guess. ::::\

8ut I don't want to look lame and immature! What if everyone else starts doing it? They'll think I'm just a little gru8!

[speakveryclearly]

Vriska Were Six Solar Sweeps
And Im Seven There
I fFind It Highly Unlikely You Will End Up Considered Late By Other Trolls

[dicey]

Well then why did you do it?

[speakveryclearly]

Well Like I Said Im Seven
Id Like To Think Its A Difference
Dont You Have A Line In Canon About Us Being On The Cusp At Six
At Seven Perhaps We Pass Over It

Also Its Kind Of A Rainbow Drinker Thing
To Crave That Sort Of Passion

Hey Dont Become Distressed About It
Whats The Worst Case Scenario
You Turn Out To Be Eighth

[dicey]

Ha ha ha.

Don't tell anyone I haven't done it yet, okay????????

[speakveryclearly]

I Promise Not To
I Mean That So Much I Wont Even Make Any Offer To Take Care Of It In An Amenable Musebox Somewhere
Partially Because Talking About Contradictory Cross-Universal Affairs Is Somewhat Disorienting And Demeaning
Partly Because Of Other Constraints
And Partly Because

I Promise Ok

[dicey]

Good! If anyone asks, I've filled allllllll the pails.








You're kind of hitting on me a lot. Have you noticed that?

[speakveryclearly]

Its a Deal



No
That May Or May Not Be A Rainbow Drinker No

[dicey]

Do you still have a crush on me, or do you only have a crush on Feferi now?

[speakveryclearly]

Its
Complicated
Im Being Played In A Lot Of Different Contexts And Here I Remember All Of Them At The Same Time
Its Hard Being A Muse And Doing PSLs
Its Hard And I Dont Know If You Understand

[dicey]

Nope! 8ut it's not that 8ad though, right?

And if you did still have a crush on me I pro8a8ly wouldn't mind or anything.

[speakveryclearly]

I Can Think Of Worse
I Know What Its Like Not To Be Played At All

Thats A Complex Question
I Remember Vividly Multiple Instances Of Having A Crush On You
Of Course The Instance Of Our Cohabitation As Prior Discussed
And




Its A Complex Question

[dicey]

I guess it would 8e.

If it helps, I don't really have a chance with any of the people I have crushes on!

[...]

I don't know, does that help?

[speakveryclearly]

[A hint of flickering that began at her last pause and could have developed into full rainbow drinker blushing stops.]

Yes Actually

Quadrants Do Cause Quandaries Dont They
Such A Great Amount Of Crushes When You Add Them All Up

[dicey]

Tell me a8out it! What a pain.

[speakveryclearly]

And Dont Even Get Me Started On Humans In Them

[dicey]

I thought humans didn't even have most of the quadrants. I've met a few who know a8out kismessitude, 8ut that's it.

[speakveryclearly]

Thats Exactly The Problem
They Find Out About Them From Us And From There It Gets Worse

[dicey]

What's so 8ad a8out that?

[speakveryclearly]

Then Humans And Trolls Fall In Pity And Hate And It Gets Tricky
Typically Causing Even More Sore Feelings Than Romance Usually Involves

[dicey]

Huh. I guess that's just one more reason why things would never work out with the people I have crushes on.

The 8iggest reason is still pro8a8ly that most of them are at least twice my age, though.

[speakveryclearly]

Really
Suddenly Being Ashen For An Eight Sweep Old Doesnt Sound So Bad
Do You Want To Talk About It

[dicey]

........ Well, remem8er the whole lightning scars thing?
