[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! ♥]

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]

[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?

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

It is the way of things, though. There, at least. It's normal.

[capuletnomore]

And the feud is normal for Verona. That does not make it right. As I said, I cannot condone such things. But, I cannot blame you for doing what society wished of you. It enabled you to survive, and to find yourself here. And we are friends because of this.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

... Hahaha. I thought you might hate me if I told you.

[capuletnomore]

[Oh, Vriska....]

You have never done me harm, Vriska. You have been patient with me as I have tried to understand the differences between trolls and humans. You have been my friend, and I have been yours.

[She hesitates a moment. Lord Saxon's deeds are his own to explain, but she can speak generally, to help the girl understand.]

There is another here who has experienced things similar to you. One who has done what would be considered horrible things in the past. But here, this person has been good and helpful, and has been a dear friend. I do not hold this person's past behavior against them, and I do not hold yours against you.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[capuletnomore]

You trusted me enough to tell me of your true nature. I would be a poor friend indeed if I turned away from you after such a display of faith.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

... Thanks. And. Y'know, stuff. It reeeeeeeeally weird how nice you are, but it's not like I mind it!

[capuletnomore]

[She gives Vriska a wide smile.]

You are most welcome.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Next I guess I have to tell Jo and Morgana. Man, that conversation's going to be a drag.

[flippancy to cover up the fact that she's kind of scared shitless yeahhhh]

[capuletnomore]

[More friends, Juliet assumes. That's a good thing for Vriska. She's spoken briefly to both ladies, and they have seemed kind, even if Jo has an attachment to those gun things she dislikes.]

I am certain they will be understanding of such things, Vriska. They are both sensible women, from what I know of them.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Jo kiiiiiiiind of hunts people like me. People that kill or have killed other people.

[capuletnomore]

Your past deeds should not reflect on your deeds here. And you have killed no one here. If she cannot understand what you have told me, I will have words with her. I do not take kindly to those who hurt my friends and family.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

She couldn't hurt me.

[completely not true; she could probably kick Vriska's ass, especially since Vriska doesn't have her weapons, and as far as emotional hurting goes Vriska has a little hero worship thing going on there]
