[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! ♥]
capuletnomore: (getting married so happy)

[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.]

Of course! It makes him easier to dislike.
capuletnomore: (determined)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-18 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see now. Given which of your quadrants he fills, that would make sense.

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
He's really ugly, too. And gross! You should see how much he sweats.
capuletnomore: (see no flowers hear no proposals)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-18 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I...I will trust your word, Vriska.

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Good! You probably shouldn't ever try to talk to him or anything.
capuletnomore: (sharing a private joke)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-18 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Now, she'll tease.]

Ah, but you have spoken with my lover. I may not speak with yours?

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't like humans. And he's manipulative and controlling, because he's a blueblood like me!





I mean. He could decide to kill you or something, I don't know.
capuletnomore: (concern)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-18 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Why does he dislike humans? Have humans harmed him in the past? It must make living here difficult.

[Her eyes widen.]

Kill me? For what reason would he do that?

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
He proooooooobably wouldn't, but he might! If you pissed him off, or if he wanted to piss me off, or... something.

He's really into this thing called the hemospectrum, which is the blood color-based cast system on Alternia. Bluebloods are pretty high, and so he thinks he's better than everyone else below him. And he thinks humans are even lower than the lowest-blooded trolls.
capuletnomore: (oh I see)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-18 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[She thinks about this a moment.]

Meaning, if he knew we were friends, then he might wish to kill me to deepen your feelings of hatred toward him?

[Here is where troll romance makes little sense to her. Though she is certain that Tybalt would understand it better than she.]

That sort of thinking may serve him well on Alternia, but in Adstringendum, I imagine it makes things more difficult for him.

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
He said he was just kidding about trying to Jo and Morgana, but you know, this is what trolls do! Especially highbloods like us. This one... uh, historical figure? Her kismesis killed someone she had red interest in, even though that was a totally different quadrant!
capuletnomore: (looking down with interest)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-19 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I shall think of them much like my cousins, then. More extreme versions of my cousins.

[Because she has no doubt that, were he able, Tybalt would attempt something like that.]

I hope that your Equius does not decide to prove his feelings in such a manner, though. Surely there are other ways to express such passionate hatred.

[...]






Can I tell you something?
capuletnomore: (prim and proper lady)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-19 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
You may tell me anything you like, Vriska.

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-19 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm like that. A properly murderous ruthless blueblooded troll. Or at least I always tried to be!

It's just not really a thing I have much reason to be here. That's why no one knows.
capuletnomore: (oh I see)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-19 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She is silent for a moment as she digests these words. Tried to be. In the past. That is like Lord Saxon, in a way. One who had done terrible things in the past, but no longer. And a person must be judged on merit, must they not?]

If - If that is how trolls are meant to act among other trolls, where you are from, then that is how you are meant to be when there. I shall not hold it against you, Vriska.

You have done nothing of the sort here, to my knowledge. You have adapted to your surroundings, as have we all.

Such behavior...it is not something I am able to condone, but nor will I condemn you for it, as it is customary among your people, and they are different to humans. And knowing you have made the choice not to engage in such behavior here - I think it shows great maturity and strength on your part to have abstained from it. There is a time and a place for any sort of behavior, after all.

A couple sweeps ago I made Tavros jump off a cliff while we were FLARPing, and he was paralyzed.
capuletnomore: (concern)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-19 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes widen at that.]

That happened here? Is he - is he all right, now? And is that the cause of the trouble between you and the others of late?

...

And, forgive me, what is FLARPing? I know not the word.

Not here! Like I said, it was a long time ago.

Then right after that, his gaming partner Aradia got revenge by sending a bunch of ghosts after me, and this... guy convinced me that I should get revenge on her. So I made her boyfriend blow up her hive and kill her and her lusus.
capuletnomore: (looking down with interest)

[She nods, listening, her expression sad.]

It...sounds very like home. One of the Monatuges would spit at one of my cousins, and then one of the cousins would throw a rock. In turn, there would be insults traded until someone's temper snapped, and it turned to blows instead. Or one of ours would spit, and begin the cycle.

The feud between the Capulets and Montagues escalated to the point where the Prince swore that if anyone shed blood in the streets, they would be put to death. And even then, it did not stop. Such things do not, not until some tragedy happens to make them stop.

... Huh. I guess I never thought that revenge cycles might be a big thing for some humans, too.

I've also killed a lot of other people-- people that I didn't know at all, or at least not very well. That wasn't about revenge, it was about surviving.
capuletnomore: (i'm coming to a realization)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-19 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
They can be a very great thing for humans. I do not understand entirely - Father wished to protect me from this as much as he was able - but I know that for Tybalt, the feud meant a great deal. You were not here when he discovered I had married in secret - he - to say he did not take the news well would be an understatement.

Survival - that is an entirely different matter to revenge. You must do what you must in order to survive.

[identity profile] eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com 2012-01-19 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
That's what trolls think, but I bet a lot of people here wouldn't. I killed thousands of other kids because I had to feed my lusus. On Alternia that meant that I had the honor of being chosen for being strong, but in Adstringéndum it'd just make me a monster, wouldn't it?
capuletnomore: (mildly ill or disgusted)

[personal profile] capuletnomore 2012-01-19 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

It makes your lusus a monster, Vriska. Children do not always know right from wrong, and it falls to the elders to teach them such. If that is what you were taught, how were you to know it was not the way of things?
