wait, let me count out twenty-five of these things ♏ audio

Equius, Sollux, float over my way. I need to talk to both of you. It doesn't have to be both at once. It probably shouldn't.

[Vriska's voice sounds dry. worn. like she's been living a nightmare since they left Haven. she swallows.]

Is everybody else okay? Not just the trolls or, um, John, Rose, and Dave. Is there anything I can... like, fix?

You're okay, right?

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 21 2011, 19:48:09 UTC

Yeah, sure. Physically. What about you?

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 21 2011, 19:49:46 UTC

I'm fine. Obviously. I think you and me and everyone from the base might be the only ones that are though.

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 21 2011, 20:01:13 UTC

[a sigh, and then a pause.]

How do you always know exactly the wrong thing to say?

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 22 2011, 03:20:55 UTC

...What?

I'm just sayin' last week was pretty awful, even if it wasn't to me. That's actually real thoughtful and shit, isn't it?

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 22 2011, 03:22:04 UTC

Stop digging yourself into a hole, Eridan, you're going to hit water soon.

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 22 2011, 03:23:05 UTC

I'm not! But fine, if you want me to leave you alone I will. I know when I'm not wanted. [sometimes]

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 22 2011, 03:24:22 UTC

No, stop!

[even she's surprised at how urgent that sounds.]

Don't go.

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 22 2011, 03:32:04 UTC

...What?

[he was just about to shut the feed off, too! but that was pretty much the last thing he expected Vriska to say, so he's just silent (and staring, of course, but that can't be seen) for a moment.]

I thought you wanted me to shut up. I can't stop talkin' about things and stay here at the same time. That's dumb.

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 22 2011, 03:38:57 UTC

I did, I do, but I'm. I'm not in a good... place.

[shit, is she really going to spill her guts to Eridan of all people?]

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 22 2011, 04:04:26 UTC

You're never in a good place. How is that any different from normal?

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 22 2011, 04:10:22 UTC

I mean it this time, Eridan. [she pauses, because how can she say this in a way he'll understand?]

Look, you're the Prince of Hope, right? It's. It's feeling pretty hopeless.

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 22 2011, 04:23:11 UTC

...Oh. Right.

[he has experience with that, even if most of the facility doesn't really know the specifics of his little break-down. not that he's really a good person to talk about shit like that, but when has he ever admitted that to himself or cared? he is an expert and that's what matters here.]

Well, I am pretty much the most knowledgeable guy around when it comes to hope, you know. And right now it's not really that hopeless 'cause we're all together.

Or somethin'. I don't remember really. It was somethin' like that though. [yeah, he's just repeating what Fef and John told him. but shh he is totally good at this okay]

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 22 2011, 04:34:41 UTC

[something's got to be wrong with Vriska when even this pathetic display of hope is getting to her. there are so many things wrong with it-they're not all here together, it is that hopeless-but she wants to believe, even for a second, that it'll be okay. that they're not doomed. that she isn't.]

Congratulations. [she begins lying.] You finally said the right thing.

[audio - locked 10%] caligulasaqua September 22 2011, 04:48:35 UTC

Of course I did. I do know what I'm talkin' about with hope, it's pretty much my specialty.

[audio - locked 10%] cahoooooooots September 22 2011, 04:55:06 UTC

You're the Prince of it. We already went over that.

[she stops speaking, which means she stops lying for now. when she starts up again, after a just barely long enough pause, it's the truth.]

I want to put all of us in one place. For a little while, not forever. Just so we all know who's still here.
