and it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

[here's Vriska sitting in some corner somewhere, surrounded by pencil drawings she's been doing to pass the time-- most are of herself dressed up as a pirate, but there are some of randoms sigels that she copied from the ones painted on the walls of the basement (she has no idea of their significance, but she thinks they look cool), and a couple abstract-y ones that look a bit like lightning bolts]

So check it out-- I was going to write up a whole guide for you guys! That's right: What To Do When Your Planet Is Being Destroyed By Fire And Shit Raining Down From The Sky, by Vriska Serket. I think I wrote up about half of it after I found out that the Animus were serious about trying to kill all of us, but that was before it turned out that they were actually incredibly bad at it!

So anyway, change of plans. No more guide, but I'm still going to be incredibly magnanimous and offer up all the advice. Sure, maybe the fix we used to escape the meteors back on Alternia isn't really something that can apply here, but I'm still a huuuuuuuuge expert on surviving situations that go shithive maggots. Or just surviving in general.

Just try not to pile on too many questions at one time-- I'm sure you're all dying to hear my suggestions, but I ain't got all day! In addition to making some decorations for whenever I get back to my hive, I have a pretty sweet magic pot to cary stuff in, so I've actually been extremely busy collecting supplies! I've been doing water runs. Through the fire outside. And I haven't been seriously injured even once.

Yeah!

Hey, asshole! I need to talk to you.

[the video turns on to show Vriska staring straight at the screen, giving everyone a good shot of the world's hugest wibble]

This sucks...! I'm stuck in this huuuuuuuuge hive all by myself, with no friends or caretakers or lus-- parents, and I'm so scared and lonely! I'm just a kid; somebody's supposed to be taking care of me!

[she sniffles, swiping at the eye that isn't covered by her eyepatch]

And this city is really creepy! There are so many scary and powerful people. What if one of them attacked me? I'd never win! It's just so... so...

[sniffle, sniffle, sniffle... snort]

[another snort, and she covers her mouth, as if trying to hold something back-- tears, maybe?]

[she'll just keep staring at the camera, hand over her mouth with that puppy-dog look for an uncomfortably long time...]













[... before suddenly breaking into a huge grin and doubling over with laughter]

Oh man, that was hard to keep up! Of course I'm fine; the Animus skipped me over. Again! They must really like me or something!
