No shitty, fake dreams today! I guess all you night-sleepers are going to be off the hook, too. And even better, after it got dark I went looking for more supplies, and I'm coming back with aaaaaaaall the loot!

[all the loot, in this case, appears to be a very large tub-like container filled with green slime that she's pushing in front of her, and... a big plastic bag overflowing with about fifty Magic 8-Balls that she's dragging behind her]

Look at all these oracles! I found a couple lying around, and so I spent a few hours digging around for more and came up with the rest. Getting this stuff back without being able to captchalogue it is going to suck, but it's worth it. Isn't it?

[Vriska reaches into the bag and pulls out one of the 8-Balls, shaking it and then peering at the answer window]

... "Signs point to no". Well, fuck you too, then!

[and she smashes it on the ground and continues on her way]

You are fortunate that your dreams were not so bad. Had I been forced to spend more time walled up in that little cell, I fear I would have gone mad in truth.

[Her eyes widen at that.]

Given the number of magic spheres, it is unsurprising that one was not created properly. The amount of magic required to make them all tell the future must be incredible.

Sure, I guess. I'll have to test the rest to see if they work any better.

My dreams kind of sucked, too. But I knew they weren't real!

How does one test a magic sphere?

Trolls are truly more perceptive than humans. I could not tell the difference when I dreamed. The horrible nun had nearly convinced me that this place was the dream, and not my cell.

Still, I am glad it is done.

[Vriska doesn't say any more on the dream topic-- she's mostly convinced that it was all fake, but there's a tiny niggling part of her saying that the Animus (or something else) could just be making them imagine Adstringendum instead]

You ask it a question that you know the answer to! If it gives the wrong answer, it's broken.

[she takes another one out]

Are events the worst thing about this shithole?

[aaaand shakes it]

"It is certain". ... See, this one might be worth something!

[She watches with interest, and grins in delight at the answer.]

Most clever! What do you intend to do with such powerful magic?

Tell the future, of course! I don't have my Vision Eightfold anymore, so I have to do it somehow.

Such a skill would be most useful in a place such as this. If the magic spheres can help you to do so, we may be able to better prepare ourselves for the tricks of the Animus.

You'd better hope there are more working ones than broken ones, then!

I shall pray you find many working magic spheres.
