Hey, this is Vriska! I'm ignoring my PCD right now. Leave me a message and if I like you enough, I'll get back to you!

[There's a long delay with just the sound of footsteps.]

...I don't know.

Yeah.

[Another long silence, filled with quiet footsteps and the occasional sound of a door being closed.]

I'm the only person in the hive now.

Do you want to come here? You can.

I-

I don't know.

[She hesitates.]

There were twelve of us living here when I moved in. They're all gone now.

It's freaky. It's like this place doesn't like our world anymore.

What if one of us is next?

I hope you remain here.

Me too.

I'm terrified of leaving.

If you haven't left by now, I do not think you have to worry.

[Another door sound, and then the crunch of footsteps on the dirt outside.]

Maybe.

Are you coming over?

I just need to get out of the house.

I was going to go for a walk.

Oh.

You could could come if you wanted, though.

Are you sure?

You can go back to sleep. I will be fine.

I'm already out on the porch. I didn't want to wake Hanna up by talking.

Oh.

...

I suppose I can come by.

Okay. I'll be here.

[It's another fifteen minutes before the glowing troll comes walking up the path. She's a bit of a mess, honestly, and has obviously been crying, but she's doing the best she can to keep it in check.]

[Vriska's sitting on the porch steps, wrapped in about three blankets]

God, you must be fucking freezing. You can have one of these, I guess.

[she starts unwrapping one from around herself]

Hmm?

[The rainbow drinker blinks and looks down at herself for a moment, and then frowns.]

...I didn't notice.

[She WAS cold though, so she moves over to sink down next to Vriska.]

[she sits in silent for a few long moments before speaking]

Do you want to go home?

[Kanaya takes a few seconds to settle the blanket on her lap, at least. Apparently being undead gives her a bit of resistance to the cold. Or she's just too miserable to care.]

I don't know.

Why the hell wouldn't you? I probably would if I were you.

There are some small benefits to being here, Vriska.

Like what?

I am not racing to face a being of unimaginable power on a cold, dark meteor in search of a quest I probably cannot fulfill, for one thing.
