Okay, okay, I admit it! My hive burned down. Completely destroyed, along with my recuperacoon, most of my oracles, and a fuckton of other supplies. At first I was going to just camp out in that warehouse, but then I decided to do something else instead! And let me tell you, this new place? At least 800% less flammable. Man, what a great idea. Before that event, I had never really thought "Oh hey, maybe I should consider living somewhere that isn't so brazenly wooden". Just another thing to be prepared for, I guess!

I'll be sure to thank the Animus for the reality check after I kick their asses.

Met her already? Yeah. I mean Larxene.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Met her? I fought her.

[and she turns on the video to show off all her bandages, covering healing lightning burns]

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

... [Giving the bandages a long, disbelieving look. She picked a fight with Larxene, lost it that badly, and lived?]

You fought her. Why?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Well that's certainly a reason! But I'm not sure it's a good one.

Good to see you're still alive.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

I would have looked like a coward if I'd backed down! Besides, it was pretty cool. Much better than the story of how I lost my eye and arm.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Point. And she probably would have killed you if you did. [He shrugs. Larxene kills people. It's a thing.]

So, Vriska. Was it fun?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

["fun" might not be the right word, but...]

It was cool, like I said!

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Good! [Eyeing the bandages again, amused.] Worth it?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[there's no doubt in her voice there, for a couple of reasons]

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Well. That's the important thing!

[Weird girl.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Does she have any rivals?







Just curious.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Good question! Are we talking a mutual relationship, or just people she wants to snuff?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Mutual!

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Not a one.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Oh, reaaaaaaaally.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me you're making plans, Vriska.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Did I say I was making plans? I can ask questions without making plans!

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Well! If you end up dead, around here, at least you come back.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Duh!

But good rivals don't end up dead.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Sure. But get in her way and she won't care how good you are at it.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

That's not really an uncommon thing, you know.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

So the lifespan for rivals must be pretty low where you're from.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

It depends! There's uh. A certain kind of rivalry where you're not supposed to kill your partner. But other than that, yeah, there's a ton of deaths.

[doestheickyjobs.livejournal.com]

Sounds just like home.

Except for that certain kind. What's that about?
