Oh my I finally get to meet the lovely pirate Vriska. I was wondering when my mun would throw me at you.

[l8dyluck]

So someone fancy's me?
That's new. ::::/

Soooooooo who are you, mysterious admirer?

[one_winged_demon]

Mm I guess fancy would be a way to describe it. I think you're interesting at least.

Well since I have your name I suppose it's only fair, my name is Marctavious.

[If it at all helped Vriska's decision to be friends with him or not, he had red eyes which would of course make Terezi unendingly jealous considering he didn't hide them behind shades like a certain cool kid.]

[l8dyluck]

Speaking of that, how do you know my n8me?

Either w8y, I guess it's nice to meet you Marctavious, or Marc. I think I'll call you Marc.

[She didn't even care about his eyes, or the fact Terezi would go absolutely gaga over them.
It was obvious the scorpio was bummed about something, despite how she suddenly hid it behind one of those smiles.]

[one_winged_demon]

I have an alternate version of you sharing this headspace and my mun adores you.

[Knowing for a fact she was bummed he got closer.]

Hey, want to talk about what's on your mind? I'm not all that good at the whole "Talking about your feelings" thing but I can listen.

[l8dyluck]

[Well, it was good to know someone adored her.
However, she was openly hesitant at the offer to a feelings jam, which was apparently going to be one-sided.]

I don't really do feelings.

[Although she was actually contemplating the idea of, for once, opening up to someone. It could be a bad idea, though, and come back to bite her in the ass.
Her luck always seemed to wane like that.]

[one_winged_demon]

Sure you don't but something's bothering you. I promise I'm not going to react badly to your feelings. Abians can be a lot like trolls in a way so if it involves death then we're on even ground.

[l8dyluck]

[She just stares at him quietly, then sighs...]

Well... no one really likes me, and the pro8lem is it's never really 8othered me 8efore!
I was totally ok8y with exch8nging 8lack feelings with the other trolls, and I still am.

[She bites down on her lower lip briefly, contemplating her next words.]

Not that I c8re, 8uuuuuuuut..
Well, I thought m8y8e someone actually, you know, liked me? Like.. red feelings? I mean, th8y said th8y did, 8ut I guess I shouldn't have expected anything after that, especially from him..

8ut, again, I don't really give a shit. ::::/
I guess.. m8y8e.. it was just nice to feel like, you know, like someone needed you more than just for a kismesis for once.

8ut whatever!
I don't c8re.

[one_winged_demon]

[He listened without much reaction but he clearly looked like he was listening. After she was done he'd put a hand on her shoulder.]

Hey it's fine to want more than black feelings.

[He looked a bit awkward]

And if it makes you feel any better, I've seen quite a lot of what you've done and I don't hate you.

[l8dyluck]

[She isn't sure how to feel about the physical contact.
There's an urge to shrug the hand away, but the guys listening.
Be nice, Vriska, or atleast try to be.]

You mean how I pushed the one troll I c8red for off of a cliff?

No one 8elieves I was actually trying to m8ke him stronger, and I guess my method wasn't exactly the 8est.

I've apologised over and over again, too! Why doesn't anyone see that m8y8e I can 8e a nice person?

[one_winged_demon]

It's probably the tough exterior. You still want to show yourself as the next great pirate blue blood that you forget to show that you can be a nice person.

But I know you can be a nice person and you don't always mean what people think you do when you say things. It's just your way of being nice while still trying to be tough about it.

[He sighed.]

And while I thought I wasn't going to share anything, I suppose I could share that I'm in the same situation.

[l8dyluck]

Well, I mean, I just want everyone to 8e as strong as I am, you know?
I am trying to 8e nice.

[Oh, okay. So this feelings jam wasn't going to be completely one-sided.
Good to know - maybe she wouldn't feel like a total chump now.]

Oh, I'm sorry I guess. I mean, it's hard to 8e reeeeeeeeal consider8te, since I've pretty much gone through this my whole life.

[one_winged_demon]

I get that, I do really. I did something similar though it was a little more drastic than pushing someone off a cliff.

[He shrugged.]

I don't think you should worry about me. I'm not likely to meet anyone from my world here. So fresh starts and all that.

[l8dyluck]

What can 8e soooooooo drastic?
I guess I pro8a8ly should return the f8vor of listening to you. ::::/

[It wasn't she was trying to be inconsiderate, but she likely came off that way.]

Fresh starts are good, I guess.
8ut... well, don't tell anyone, 8ut I might actually miss everyone if I ever left.couriercourier

[one_winged_demon]

Murdering and maiming people in his club.

[Marctavious had the benefit in this case of being an Abian, he didn't really hear her words so much as her intentions.]

That's understandable. I mean they are your friends no matter what they act like.

[l8dyluck]

That is sorta drastic. ::::/

[She just sinks back into herself, giving a light shrug.]

Well, I wouldn't call them my friends.
Th8y don't really like me, so...

[one_winged_demon]

But you'd miss them. Why is that?

[dicey]

They always make us look stupid! It's their gr8est talent.

[l8dyluck]

8ecause m8y8e I kind of like them?
I don't know.

[l8dyluck]

Teeeeeeeell me a8out it.

I mean first th8y're like, 8e a 8itch. Then th8y're fucking like, have feelings.

Don't th8y know we don't do feelings? ::::/

[dicey]

Feelings are lame! 8ut also kind of okay sometimes, I guess.

How did yours screw you over? ::::O

[one_winged_demon]

Well I have to imagine some of them like you in some way. Maybe you just need to show you care.

[l8dyluck]

Sometimes, m8y8e... ::::/

[She seems to contemplate her words carefully...]

Well...
Th8y had me re-fill the 8lack quadrant with Eriderp, for starters.

[l8dyluck]

In some w8y..
Like.. a 8lack w8y.

[one_winged_demon]

Well sure but that's because you're too rough for them. Also I know not all of them see you in a black way. Kanaya for example. It's kind of obvious from what I saw that she's red for you.
