[For once, Vriska's posting during the Dark Hour. Yellow eyes were looking almost challengingly at the screen, her blue lips twisted into a frown]

So, all you guys who have that Persona thing awakened... the hell is that supposed to be? It caaaaaaaan't be a part of yourself; that would be just dumb. So what is it?

[You might see that in her face, she looked mildly... disturbed]

And what is that supposed to do aaaaaaaanyway?

[scorpiospider]

Uuuuuuuugh. I'm not going to get away from spiders, am I? At least I could have something cool or useful!

[cullscuttlefish]

You wanted to get away from them? Could have fooled anyone from home.

[scorpiospider]

Really, Peixes? Just because the lusus that managed to have the exact shade of blue blue I do was a troll-hungry spider that threatened to eat me if I didn't give her other trolls to snack on?

[cullscuttlefish]

...you aren't the only one who had to do terrible things to keep your lusus from killing you. You and everyone else, only it's more 'everyone else' because you are one of two people who it can't kill.

You think I liked feeding her other kids' lusii?

[scorpiospider]

You know what, Peixes? You aren't the pampered princess with the scary lusus here like you are at home. So back the fuck off. Some of us waaaaaaaanted to get away from our lusus and want nothing to do with the big ol' spider in their head that reminds them each and every time they summon the thing that it could easily turn around and eat them now, even here. Some of us trolls didn't have the good relationship you and big tentacly scary lusus did. [Vriska was starting to look extremely upset, her words taking on a snarl] And you had a lusus that couldn't kill you, aren't you lucky? She liked you and nothing she did would kill you. I was a snack to mine. Mine could and would have killed me if I did aaaaaaaanything wrong. So yours raises her voice and kills everyone else except you. Mine kills me and eats everyone else so no one's left. Or uses me to be lazy and have trolls just fed to her like she was the Heiress instead of you!

Yeah, whine to me how you had to feed other lusii to yours. Whine to me how being the Heiress to the throne is so hard. When your lusus will kill you too if you don't get things exactly right, then we'll talk, Peixes.

[cullscuttlefish]

When have I ever acted like I was this perfect pampered princess? I don't think like that, I never have. You think it's easy having all these expectations and prophecies whispered to you every single moment of every single day? And if you don't meet them, there's a threat to set the Glub off. I couldn't relax for one second. Not one, because I had to keep her from flying off the handle and killing everyone no matter what the hell else they did. If I let her kill everyone else, then I was as good as dead anyway because I had a fucking genocidal empress ancestor who would have me on the end of her culling fork.

[scorpiospider]

You sure got lucky with Eridan killing lusii for you, Princess. How much blood did you actually spill?

Oh yes, you had it so rough and you have the right to judge everyone as not having it as bad. And I should just suck it up that my Persona looks just like the lusus that was threatening to eat me while you got one that was just a water spirit and didn't remind you of anything. I'll get right on that, Heiress.

[cullscuttlefish]

What is this, the 'whose life sucked worse' party? We both had it rough, Vriska, and just because I didn't make it a huge FLARP spectacle doesn't mean I didn't spill any blood. Besides, it counted as killing trolls for you, too.

I'm not saying that doesn't suck, either. You got the crappy end of the stick! I'm not denying it. Yeah, it caught me off-guard because you always seemed to take pride in it. That's all.

[scorpiospider]

Maybe I'm just tired of you dismissing other troll's life. Ever think of that? And yeah, I know... I killed them with my own hands.

... I tried not to see my Lususprite in SGRUB. Ever. [Vriska started to look tired] And the fact my damned Persona is a fucking spider like my lusus... it's dumb.

[cullscuttlefish]

When did I ever do that? Did I not just say that I acknowledged that you had it rough?

...I didn't have a choice about it. I couldn't ignore her if I wanted to get the dreambubbles set up. Kind of hard to talk to the horrorterrors without a proper emissary.

Maybe it is.

[scorpiospider]

You're always so lucky, aren't you. Having an emissary like that and being able to do something as important as dreambubbles. Did you even make God Tier?

It is dumb. And it needs to go away.

[cullscuttlefish]

...I don't know if I do or don't.

[scorpiospider]

I think I was supposed to before coming here. ... dying sucks.

[cullscuttlefish]

You don't remember bragging about it? You did. All over the coddamned place. Nobody could get a word in edgewise. None of us. You were always on about the silly orange outfit and the amaaaaaaaazing red boots and weren't you making your ancestor proud because nobody else was.

[scorpiospider]

Oh for fuck's sake! So Tavros finally did it after I came here? This sucks!

[cullscuttlefish]

I don't think he ever had the nerve to do it, Vriska. But you did do it. I never inquired as to the details.

[scorpiospider]

Still sucks. I knew I was dying before I came here! So I don't even get God Tier while I'm here? So stupid.

[cullscuttlefish]

Yeah. Shit really sucks.

I don't know. Maybe you get it as part of the whole Persona Package since you had it back home.

[scorpiospider]

Hmph. It would be nice to actually haaaaaaaave it here, though.

[cullscuttlefish]

Who's to say you won't?

[scorpiospider]

Are you stupid, Peixes? I don't have aaaaaaaanything from back home. I tried to make people here punch their own stupid faces a few times and I can't!

[cullscuttlefish]

Did I say you had it right now? Stop treating me like a glubbing idiot, Vriska. I wasn't hatched yesterday.

[scorpiospider]

Well, if you didn't act like it...

[Goddamn this was hot. So much hate]

[cullscuttlefish]

I'm not acting like it. You're just being a huge bitch.

[Yeah, the feeling is mutual. When the hell did this turn into hateflirting?]

[scorpiospider]

I know the difference between me acting like my usual self and you being a spoiled idiot.

[IDEK. Probably a good thing they were over the phone instead of face-to-face]
