dicey | ☣ 009 | audio | standard/hackable lock to Juliet Montague

[She smiles at hearing her friend's voice.]

I am here, Vriska. How does the day find you?

Okay, I guess.

So, uh. You're sure your species doesn't have moirallegiance, riiiiiiiight? So if I were to say something that might possibly sound like I'm asking for advice, you wouldn't take it as a pale solicitation?

You only guess? Are you unwell?

[Her brows knit together at the strange words.]

I know not what moirallegiance means, I am afraid. It is a new word for me.

[One she mangles slightly in attempting to pronounce it.]

Should you need advice, I am happy to oblige. You are my friend, and it would be most rude of me to ignore a request from a friend.

If you don't know what I mean, that's a good thing here. It means I don't have anything to worry about!

Anyway, advice shit. You know that guy I was talking about before? The annoying one who won't live up to his destiny?

I am glad it makes you feel better, if that is the case.

[She nods.]

You were unsure of your relationship to him - the type of affection and place he should have by your side, if any, even though you are meant to be together.

[She wishes she could remember the different terms Vriska had used. The language of the trolls confused her.]

Basically! So during this event, he was affected, and I--

... Let's say, hypothetically, I made out with him!

[It seems she was not the only one affected thusly. In a way, it made Juliet feel a little better to know that. She still speaks carefully.]

How did you feel - hypothetically - about doing such a thing? And how did your gentleman react to such a hypothetical action?

I don't know, I haven't talked to him! I wasn't really thinking about what would happen afterwards, haha.

But if he'd kiss me when he's not scared shitless of me, that's a good thing, right?

[She smiles at that.]

Yes, I think it is a good thing. It was he who was affected during the event, then, or both of you?

[And the smile turns into a playful smirk.]

Perhaps such hypothetical kissing will make his tongue bold to speak.

It was just him. And I don't know, he seems pretty much the same now; I saw a post he did. It was pretty pathetic.

Oh? Which one did he make? I may have missed it, and I would see your gentleman. He cannot be as pathetic as Count Paris - the man Father would have me wed. Never have I met a more frivolous man in my life, nor one so self-absorbed.

Don't tell him I told you about anything. Or just. Don't tell him I mentioned him. At all. Ever!

[She looks over it carefully.]

Hanna and Sango are speaking with him. This is a good thing - they are both people whom I would consider wise, and they are like family to me.

I will not say a word, Vriska, I promise. But, I will speak with him, if you like. Without mentioning your involvement in my doing so.

It appears that your Tavros wishes to be confident and kind both, which is a very noble goal. He has not yet realized that it is possible to do both, I take it.

He's pretty dumb like that! Like I said, nothing like he's supposed to be. Trolls aren't usually supposed to be nice, either.

... And actually, you probably shouldn't talk to him at all! Because of that dumbness. He's waaaaaaaay too dumb for someone like you, and he'd probably just end up telling you lies!

And yet you are nice, Vriska. One can be confident and capable and tough, and yet still be nice in general. Perhaps not all the time, for no one is capable of being nice all the time. Look to my cousin Tybalt - he is a good and fine gentleman, and still a proud fighter, full of confidence in his abilities.

[And can be a bit of a jerk sometimes, but not to her, so she settles for chastising him when he does act like one.]

If you think it wise.

[She was going to protest, but the part about lying gets to her. She doesn't like being lied to at all.]

With luck, Sango and Hanna may help him, and teach him how to be strong and kind. Both are perfect examples of such qualities existing in a single person, albeit in different ways.

But I'm not nice! That's the point. I'm a troll! I'm ruthless and fearsome and shit.

But not towards you. You're pretty cool.

I have no doubt in your abilities, Vriska. But why can a troll not be nice to her friends as well as be ruthless and fearsome to her enemies?

[She curtsies.]

That is most kind of you to say. I find you 'cool' as well. You are a good friend.

[That's the second time you've gotten her to use slang, Vriska.]

We don't really have friends like that! In ancient Alternian "friend" and "enemy" are the same word.

You humans have the weirdest ways of doing stuff.

Truly? How did one tell those one liked and trusted from the ones one did not? And what do you call those whom you do like and trust?

I am sure many of our customs seem strange to those who do not grow up learning them. Some seem strange to me, and I know them well. And different humans have different customs, depending on when and where they are from. It can be most confusing.

You trust the people in your quadrants, with some things. Most people it's not a good idea to trust at all.

Is there no one you may trust without reservations?

I fear I would make a very poor troll. I prefer to place my trust in people, and like to think their natures good, unless I have proof that they are not.

Why the fuck would I want to do that? That's just asking to be culled.

Not in this place, Vriska. There is no culling here. The rules of Adstringendum are different to the rules in any of our homes.

Well, okay, but if I got all soft here then where would I be when I got home? In shit city!
