[The feed opens to show Vriska in her apartment, and it looks like she’s brought a guest! A finfaced hipster guest. That’s right, Vriska and Eridan are willingly inhabiting the same space. In fact, one could even say the two of them are in...cahoots. Cahoooooooots.

This can’t end well.]

Congratulations. Truly you two deserve each other.

[voice]

[scourgesister]

Right? I'm telling you, hate like this is unreal. It doesn't even happen. Until now!

[voice]

[mythslayer]

I can feel the hate vibes from over here and they are mighty.

[voice]

[scourgesister]

Don't look directly into them for too long! With your squishy human eyes, you might go blind.

[Just like a certain someone we both know, huh? Huuuuuuuuh?]

[ This is the face of someone who's worst and most terrible nightmares have just come true, the sort of thing icon don't even exist for. ]

not here; 1/2

[scourgesister]

[Oh Fef, no. Not that look. She wants to tell you everything -- but no, not yet. Must...complete...shitty jealousy scheme...]

[scourgesister]

[Instead, Vriska is all smiles. All unnaturally wide yet totally genuine smiles.]

Yeeeeeeees? Someone looks like they've got something to say.

[ The reply is roughly ten minutes delayed, but she looks calmer when she does. ]

Just how utterly disappointed I am in you! You and I both know you can do better than that!

lights, camera, ACTION;

[scourgesister]

[Exchanging fakey-fake words of ~truest hate~? That, she could handle. She could even handle him getting a little hands-on. But actual kissing?

Nope.

There was acting, and then there was sacrificing your dignity. So after Eridan leans in for the kill, she keeps it together just long enough to turn the feed off, then meets his lips -- with her fist.

Hey, she did tell him it was coming.]

[vvindictivve]

[POW, right in the kisser, knocking him nearly off his feet. Well, that's one way to get grabby hands off her too...

Eridan stumbles back, nursing his split lip and glaring a little pathetically. It's not that he hasn't worked out what's going on here, but he plans to milk it for all it's worth.]

God damn it Vri, what's wrong with wantin' to make this little candlelit hatedate real official-like?

action;

[scourgesister]

[Vriska shakes off her hand, wiping it on the leg of her pants.]

Funny, I thought that's what I was doing! I did promise you a fist to the face, didn't I?

[It wasn't supposed to sound quite so much like she was agreeing with him, but Vriska's too busy trying to get the imagined taste of Eridankisses out of her mind to reword that. His lips were probably all sandy, eugh.]

action;

[vvindictivve]

Okay, I've give you that, but don't you think we ought to be gettin more serious about this? I mean, if you're not playin' me for a fuckin' chump with all of this gettin' back together shit.

[scourgesister]

[It's hard, being this great of an actress and having to lie to your BFF. It's hard and no one understands.]

That sure is a funny way of saying [Kanayavoice: activated] "I'm so very elated to see you've found true unhappiness, Vriska. Words, words, words."

[scourgesister]

You didn't have to! I was filling in the blanks.

[video]

[ascending_angel]

[Not. Impressed!]

Nice announcement and all, but do you two boneheads find it necessary to downplay and insult things that some of us find rather important?

[video]

[scourgesister]

[Oh...hi, bossman...]

Noooooooo, no. Not necessary.

Um. How much of a personal investment are we talking here, exactly?

[video]

[ascending_angel]

I'm a mutant and I've got over 8 years of bad blood with Hodge, so let's not go there, okay? If you don't want to get involved, then that's fine. But lets not take a big shit all over the people who are working for something more here, okay?

[huff]

And what the hell are you two doing, anyway? I thought you couldn't stand each other.

[video]

[scourgesister]

Okay, okay. Jegus. I'm s...[nope, can't say it]...certainly willing to drop the subject if you are. Bonus points if you don't use it as incentive for working me harder.

And that's kind of the point? We're making our hate official. [/chokes down gag] It's a troll thing, okay.
