[Vriska's PCD is filming from the front lawn of Athel House! she doesn't exactly treat it with the utmost care, and so it just kind of got... tossed there when she was bored with it; she'd planned to retrieve it when she felt like using it again]

[Vriska can be seen exiting the house this fine morning (yes, trolls are nocturnal, but a) she's halfway adjusted to the sleep schedule of the rest of the city by now, and b) she's a kid, so staying up all day still strikes her as a cool and novel idea)-- and thanks to where she left her PCD last night, everyone is getting a great view of a big glop of rabbit guts falling off the roof and right onto her head]

[because, as it happens, the entire roof is covered with rabbit guts]

[Killuaaaaaaaa o9]

[OOC: Anyone that's told me here that they don't mind Vriska's 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! ♥]

[She giggles at that, too.]

You and Hawke have similar ideas where age for courtship is concerned. How old are trolls when courtship begins?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

There's no set time! People start getting urges when they're about my age, though.

[capuletnomore]

Urges?

[That makes her blush, because she's only recently learned about those sorts of things.]

That...that sort of thing factors not into an arranged courtship at home. Though thirteen or fourteen is when many of the cousins began whispering of such things when Nanny was not paying close attention.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Woah, not those kinds of urges. Those won't come for a while!

[capuletnomore]

What sort did you mean, then, Vriska?

[Now she's very confused.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Romantic interest!

[capuletnomore]

Ah, the initial stages of courtship. Entertaining the idea of such.

[This, she understands.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I guess it's kind of... practice. Especially here, where we won't have to worry about eventually being culled if we don't have a matesprit and kismesis.

[capuletnomore]

Practice.... Is such a thing what you would wish for?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

If I had a crush on someone, sure, why not?

[capuletnomore]

And have you a crush on someone?

[Only slightly teasing. She saw that conversation with Hawke on the network, though she has said nothing of it, and figures it is only fair to tease a little for giving him a hard time.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

I don't even know anymore.

[capuletnomore]

Thing will work out, Vriska. Do not fret over romances.

[She needs to learn to take her own advice.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Not having to deal with Imperial drones doesn't mean the drive to fill our quadrants just goes away, though.

[capuletnomore]

That may be true, but you have the time to consider carefully how best to fill them. It needs not be rushed.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

You know I can always break up with someone, right?

[capuletnomore]

[She nods.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

So it's no big deal!

[several hours later]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

So I guess I'm dating him!

[capuletnomore]

[Blink.]

You are dating Equius? Are you pleased with this, Vriska?

[Because she wants to be happy for a romance, if the other woman is happy. She's having trouble hiding a smile. Even if it is one of the hate-romances, it is still a romance.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Sure, I guess! He's a good kisser and he's a total asshole, so...

[capuletnomore]

[Now, she smiles.]

Then I am very happy for you.

[Although....]

Is that a good thing? That he is a...?

[Now that she's not freaking out, saying such words is more of a problem for her, even if she's become used to hearing them from Vriska.]

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Of course! It makes him easier to dislike.

[capuletnomore]

Ah, I see now. Given which of your quadrants he fills, that would make sense.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

He's really ugly, too. And gross! You should see how much he sweats.
