[Vriska shows up on the video screen looking almost like her normal self-- horns, grey skin, ripped and ratty clothing, robot arm and eyepatch...]

[... oh yeah, and then there's the fact that she's completely submerged underwater and has sprouted gills to accommodate that]

Wow, okay, apparently soooooooomebody didn't get the news that I'm not actually a seadweller!

[she tugs on one of her new appendages with a grimace]

This shit had better not last too long! I mean, I guess it's no reeeeeeeeal inconvenience-- as a fully-leveled petticoat seagrift, I naturally spend so much time out at sea, you have no idea. I'm pretty much the best swimmer there is! I'd just rather be on the water instead of in it.




This would be so much better if I had a ship.

[OOC: This post is video because I figure not everyone wants her courier crap showing up on their flist, but anyone that's told me here that they don't mind her typing quirk will be getting her hiding behind text. If you reply to this and don't mind text responses, please let me know via that link! ♥]

They don't exactly care.

You mean those Animus guys? No shit they don't care!

[Ray's unaffected, so he and his house are dry.]

Welcome to Adstringendum, where this is practically normal. It'll be over in a week.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

A what.

[walkingtheweb.livejournal.com]

Adstringendum. Please tell me someone's explained this all to you?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Of course they did, dumbass! What's a week?

[walkingtheweb.livejournal.com]

[A raised eyebrow, because you seriously did not just ask what a week was, did you? Ray's mind boggles slightly]

A week. Seven days...

Do they measure time differently where you are from?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

I guess! Do you know what a perigee is?

[walkingtheweb.livejournal.com]

Can not say I do.

Most folk here reckon using days and weeks.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

We use days, too. Just not weeks.

What about sweeps; do you have sweeps?

[walkingtheweb.livejournal.com]

Well, a week is seven days then. These sorts of 'events' rarely last longer than that.

Can't say we have sweeps. Days, weeks, months, years... but not sweeps.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

So weird.

[Because she doesn't want anyone to see her attempting to swim with this tail she's got, and she has nothing in her wardrobe that won't stop floating up above the line of decency on her torso...yet.]

I should not last long. Such things do not usually do so. Although, the last trick the Animus played lasted longer than expected, so I am not certain it is wise to rely on the standard length of time.

[voice]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Whatever! Like I said, I don't really care; I can totally handle it!

[voice]

[capuletnomore]

It is good that you are taking this so well. Not everyone adapts to the tricks of the Animus so easily. Would that we all were capable of dealing with such things in such a manner.

[voice]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

That's nothing new; I'm basically the best everywhere I go.

[Hey, he knows that voice-- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!]

You grew horns?! What kind of fish even has those?

[Yeah, forget the gills and underwater part. Everything about her situation is weird!]

[video]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

I always had horns! I'm a troll.

[video]

[monklyinpink.livejournal.com]

A troll. [A literal troll.] You mean you're supposed to look like that?

[video]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Are youuuuuuuu supposed to have pink hair?

[video]

[monklyinpink.livejournal.com]

Not really. This is dyed...

[video]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

... Well, whatever. I'm definitely supposed to look like this, minus the gills.

[video]

[monklyinpink.livejournal.com]

...I hadn't even noticed the gills. [The rest is distracting enough.] So I'm guessing you aren't the sort of troll that stakes out bridges.

[video]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Why would I do that?

[video]

[monklyinpink.livejournal.com]

To catch billy goats.

[Incomprehensible earth troll jokes commencing now.]
