♏ 001 // VIDEO // Jan. 10th // Evening

[The feed starts with a troll in a bright orange hood, accented with blue butterfly wings that fan out behind her -- there appears to be a strange blue stain just out of view of the camera somewhere around the chest where the symbol of Light sits, but Vriska makes a point not to show it. In fact, she had only chosen the video function because

[Voice]

You have the bearings and arrogance of a troll I used to partner with.

[arachnida]

Oh yeah? I'm all auricular sponge clots, let's hear it.

[Because despite her feigned disinterest in the whole 'previous stay in Death City' thing, she actually is a little curious. Not to mention that she hasn't heard this woman's voice before.]

[Voice]

[ghostofaqueen]

I believe I already told you.

[arachnida]

Come on, there has to be something more specific than that! Remember that thing I said about not remembering things? God, does anybody bother listening to anything anymore?

[ghostofaqueen]

Aside from you being a trouble-maker? I thought you didn't care.

[arachnida]

Everyone keeps talking about it anyway. If I'm going to be bombarded with it, maybe eventually someone will quit being so vague. That's kinda the thing I was looking to avoid.

[ghostofaqueen]

Very well. As far as I remember, you went on some kind of rampage, took a hostage and eventually went to jail for awhile. Punishment was left to your troll counterparts, but I never followed up on what that was.

[arachnida]

[She squints, which almost looks comical with those white eyes. A rampage? What the heck could have happened to make her that angry? It does explain what Karkat had said about people remembering her here not being a good thing.

Obviously, this woman doesn't seem to know much, so there's no point in asking. She doesn't really care anyway. Its not like thinking about it any harder is going to give her answers.]

Riiiiiiiight. Well, whatever. You got a name?

[ghostofaqueen]

I'd advise making Karkat talk. He seemed to have a hand in anything troll-related.

[She raises an eyebrow before huffing]

Sarah Kerrigan. You're Vriska, right?

[arachnida]

No kidding. He's a pain in the nook.

[...right, she knows her. Despite the context in which she knows her, it pulls a tiny smirk from her.]

Yeah, that's me.

[ghostofaqueen]

Yet very entertaining to keep a close eye on.

[She nods her head before hesitating]

Did any other trolls arrive? Eridan Ampora, perhaps?

[arachnida]

Ugh, why would you care about that loser? [She pauses.] I haven't seen him. The only one I saw was Karkat.

[And Terezi, but we're still pretending she doesn't exist.]

I wasn't really on the lookout for him, and he hasn't replied here yet. I doubt he'd miss a chance to flirt with me some more.

[ghostofaqueen]

He was my meister once, so I have an invested interest in his eventual return.

Indeed. He was quite desperate for two things.

[arachnida]

Oh come on. You could do soooooooo much better than him. Almost anyone could.

Ugh, tell me about it. Except don't.

[ghostofaqueen]

Perhaps, but it was amusing to assault him during training. He took it well enough.

Suit yourself.

[arachnida]

He's a pretty easy target.

[She perches her chin on folded hands.]

So you're a weapon, huh?
