[Lucas is grinning, happier than he's been in a long time. Not as happy as he's ever been...but certainly better than he's been since Nepeta was terminated.

And he's smoking this cigarette like it's the first one he's had in years.]

Holy shit, you guys.

This place is like, a billion times huger than I thought it was. Are you seeing this shit?

[cahoooooooots]

If you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of a victory lap, Lucas.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Are there stairs to run up, Rocky style?

Haven't seen you yet. You mostly in one piece? Or can I assume half your face was fricasseed off?

[cahoooooooots]

Wings make stairs kind of unnecessary. Man, being able to fly rules.

Don't worry, Troll DeMille, I'm still ready for my close-up.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Yeah, yeah, little gray fairy troll magic powers blah blah.

Can you give me a straight answer, like, just this one time?

[cahoooooooots]

Oh come on, that's plenty straight. I didn't get hurt, and I don't have any huge emotional problems to worry about, either. Eight hundred percent pure unfiltered Vriska Serket.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Great. The Lucky Strikes of trolls, right here.

You know I found a theater, right? And movies. Like, a shitload of them.

[POINTED LOOK...]

[cahoooooooots]

Heyyyy, I did promise I'd watch some of your movies, didn't I?

[she pretends to mull it over.]

Okay, fine, you twisted my arm. Tell me where it is and we'll see what you've got.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Promise? I think you mean that you've been pining to watch them.

It's by the big ass elevators...like by the apartment buildings. We can actually watch movies in a legit theater now, and not just mine.

[cahoooooooots]

Shit, sounds like the perfect reason to celebrate to me. Maybe when we finish cleaning up around here, we can throw a big facility-wide party. Get some chips and shit, watch Action Doctor on repeat for a while until we can say every line from memory, ask you for autographs.

Stuff like that.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Uh, duh.

And hey--I won't even charge you for my autograph.

...the full price, anyways.

[cahoooooooots]

Aw, Lucas, you're so nice to the hypothetical version of me that's actually going to care about getting your signature on a piece of paper or a picture of you or my arm or something.

[bbcarrotcooler]

I know, right?

Do they give out awards for bridging cultures? I should get, like, ten.

[cahoooooooots]

Yeah, they're called "not getting shanked by somebody of that culture" and trust me you've got basically all of those awards from me.
