-- arachnidsGrip [AG] began trolling ectoBiologist [EB] --

AG: Joooooooohn.
AG: I wanted to th8nk you for s8ving my 8dorable butt from the Revenge Sq8d back there. ;;;;D
AG: I kn8w they've got you in a t8ght spot right nooooooooow, but I was w8ndering if you'd heard a timefr8me on when they come to their senses????????
AG: ........
AG: John, I kn8w you're there........
EB: yeah.
EB: yeah I am.
EB: I'm just kind of trying to figure out how to respond because I was pretty sure we were never going to talk again.
EB: which I honestly would've liked better than this.
AG: Wh8 in the hell is that supposed to mean????????
EB: to answer your original question I don't have any idea.
EB: we've kind of been debating what to do in general.
EB: and I think the general idea is that we maroon you here, the way you are, and that's that. even feferi's agreeing with it.
AG: Oh th8 sanctimon8us b8tch!!!!!!!!
AG: All riiiiiiiiight, then we need an altern8 pl8n, and I h8ve just the one!
EB: vriska, stop.
EB: stop because I think I can see what you're getting at right now.
EB: and if you think that I'm going to help you get out of there, you're completely wrong.
AG: WH8T?!?!?!?!
EB: yeah I kind of figured you'd react like that.
EB: so I guess I'll just lay everything out.
EB: you stabbed a dude who was supposedly your friend through the heart.
EB: and threw him off a cliff.
EB: and according to pretty much everyone who knows you, that wasn't the first time you did that.
EB: like back in the day, because you were bored or something, you decided you wanted to cripple him.
EB: and then get him to kiss you.
EB: and a whole bunch of insane screwed-up crap that I don't even want to think about, which all culminates in you killing him.
AG: ....J8hnnnnnnnnn, be sm8rt8r than th8s.
AG: Th8y're feed8ng you a b8nch of lies to discred8 me so you w8n't listen.
AG: BEC888888888USE
EB: vriska we wouldn't be having this conversation if I'd just listened.
EB: I demanded to see proof.
EB: wish I hadn't.
EB: I got to see pretty much everything.
EB: and it's really upsetting.
EB: because I really thought you were going to be awesome.
EB: like, from the moment i started talking to you.
EB: "sure she's kind of bossy and has a weird spider thing going, and the mind control thing, and she's kind of obsessed with winning!"
EB: "but she likes nic cage and the color blue and she really helps me out!"
EB: and I actually thought about growing my hair out like con air when you said it, and got really excited to meet you, and I really looked forward to talking to you because you were the awesomest girl I knew.
EB: I kind of thought I loved you.
EB: or

or whatever.
EB: and that's the part that's the worst.
EB: is that the vriska serket i was excited to meet never existed, did she?
AG: J8HN SH8T 8P G8DD8MN8
EB: no, you need to let me finish.
EB: because after seeing what you did, after knowing who you really are, I can't really be anything but afraid of you.
EB: you don't even act like a person.
EB: you killed someone because you got tired of them, crippled them because they were annoying.
EB: killed and hurt a whole bunch of other people because how dare they get in vriska serket's way?
EB: and then you acted like they were in the wrong when they remembered how you were!
EB: and I don't know if you were fooling yourself or if you really didn't get it!
EB: all I know is that that isn't how a hero acts. that isn't how anyone I'm friends with acts.
EB: that's how a monster acts.
EB: how much difference is there between you and jack noir?
EB: goodbye, vriska.
EB: don't talk to me again.

**Kassiopeia** · 01-17-2011, 12:39 PM

@LinguisticDoctor: that was really good. Speaking as a Vriska fan I would hope that in canon she gets a chance (and makes the choice) to redeem herself, but your story is proof that it's actually pretty satisfying seeing even characters you enjoy meet the consequences of their actions. Your Vriska is pretty much spot-on, and while normally I would say your John is a bit serious/mature-sounding, obviously we haven't really seen him in such a situation in canon and it's fair enough to assume he might adopt a more sombre manner in this context.

Oh man. I am not normally into crossover fics of this variety, but I LOVELOVELOVE Ace Attorney, and you have the voices captured so well that I can't help but love this.

I'll be following it intently!

**egregiousBass** · 01-17-2011, 02:59 PM

I like that you're voicing your (civilised) opinion of Vriska through fic, but there's something crucial missing for me. Writing Vriska is something I don't feel like doing anytime soon, so here is my idea in boring non-literary form.

Also, the ace attorney crossover. I wants it.

**Kassiopeia** · 01-17-2011, 03:11 PM

The interesting thing is that Vriska always claims the pettiest and most hateable motifs for her actions, likely thanks to the insecurities inferred during her upbringing.

YES, THIS. It's my belief that Vris flip-flops between "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME" and "WHY DON'T YOU HATE ME" almost without realising she's doing it. IMHO her ego masks some massive self-hatred, and she's basically desperate for attention/validation from whatever quarter, currently through setting herself up on an ~epic quest~ to kill Jack, but there is another part of her which almost wants people to think as badly of her as possible, because she doesn't feel like she genuinely deserves to be liked (instead substituting in that she seeks admiration/fear/respect/phat lewts, because that necessitates less of an emotional connection.)

The Survivor
Chapter 7

Tybian: Stargaze

You can't believe your eyes. Before you stretches a black abyss, broken by glass prisms that give the space the effect of a black ocean. There is no perception of depth or even size within this place, you might as well be looking at a portrait or staring into the sky as you used to. Every so often you can hear the drop of a single something. What the source of the noise is, you can't say, but the effect it leaves is close to that of a child's lullaby, forever repelled by the black unknown and echoed by the nearby and far off prisms.

Land of Prisms and Echoes

Despite all of this, one object has completely stolen your attention. It's beautiful shine brings back a whirl of memories and times that you would have completely forgotten.

Your best friend twinkles at the center of this expanse, the Green Sun.

It was there, your first memories include picking that star from the expanse of yellow and black that hovered above you. You can remember looking to it for guidance, for a sense of warmth in all your days left alone. You remember shouting to it about when you met your "friends" through the miracle of your washed up laptop. You remember how it acted to save you from your fate of dying on that island, leading you farther and farther away into a new world.

You once again follow it, you feel yourself brush the space beneath you like a soft floor.
You start to run.

You run faster, your eyes watching it unblinking, as if your focus is what keeps it from suddenly dissipating. The world around you begins to bend, the star draws closer and closer to you until soon it's vastness stretches to beyond your scope and perception of size. Still you run, you'll run until you can touch it!

WG: Try looking through your telescope

You catch your TELESCOPE after it falls from the TREE and peer through it. You are suddenly overcome by the sensation of becoming undone. You can feel reality grab hold of your consciousness and pull you closer to it. The echoes begin to form into a voice as you are propelled through the nether at a speeds impossible to the planes of time and space.

And as suddenly as it began, it ends. You find yourself once again at the doorway staring at the small green blip on the horizon. Something is different though.

Before you can even imagine the expansive ocean, you feel yourself torn from the doorway and propped up in the small patch of sand that remains of your home.
The cooling magma has all but completely destroyed your home, but you're still glad you are able to visit.
You notice your reflection in the stilled water behind you. Your hair cut almost completely away, your coat transformed into a bright GREEN cape. The largest change lies with your eyes, shining just as bright as the Sun did. You can feel the power coursing through you, aching to be unleashed upon anything that would stand in your way. You've ascended far beyond the STARFARCUTIONERS, the Conquering Armada, and best of all, you've ascended far past Vriska. Just the thought of the payback heading her way brings a devilish grin to your face.
The White Guest appears next to you.

The White Guest holds his hand out. You shake it.
The deal is done
Plans made
All that's left is your end of the bargain

and you will deliver

Wow. That's... actually a pretty neat observation.

Also, I like EBass' point about the Doc Scratch influence - I don't think this is true, but it would be interesting to explore her taking monstrous actions "for the greater good" as revealed by time/seer/omniscience shennanigans.

**QuetzaDrake** · 01-17-2011, 05:25 PM

Oh my god PW/HS *armflail* Completely awesome, I wanna see an entire session go down with them.

**sebastian** · 01-17-2011, 05:36 PM

Oh, I think Vriska killing Aradia brought directly to the troll winning the game. I don' t believe that was her intentions. Doc Scratch intentions? Yes. Vriska? Not.

FWIW I think Aradia beat up Vriska almost to death because she knew that she (vriska) would have ended as a GodTier, and that would/will be essential, to defeat the black king (it was her lucky roll that broke his scepter) and for something else that we still don't know.
I think Doc Sratch is still using Vriska for his purposes, Her behavior is ridiculously easy to predict and with his omniscience it was easy to just point her in a certain direction and let her go knowing that she will do what he wanted thinking that it was what she wanted, things like creating Bec Noir, for example.

**KarneWarrior** · 01-17-2011, 06:13 PM

Trial by Void
Blind, Weak, Evil

Out of the cave slithers something large. Dry scales rustle on grey stone, sliding past the burrs and pointed outcroppings. It leaves a trail in the dust, a darker line in the powder coated floor. It slips into the grass, hissing.

The bird perched on it's head chirps, and the snake turns to the left, towards a duo of large animals. The things are looking at it, but the snake can't see. The bird does, however, and it chirps out a small warning to the snake.

The snake listens to something deeper, though. It feels itself being dragged mentally towards the strange creatures. It isn't psychic, it's instinct. The bird too feels the instinct, and so the pair of animals approach with caution.

The lusii are recived gratefully by Azla and Iksti, and together they set off to find someplace to live.

***********************

The dark ocean waters lap at the gritty shore, dissolving the land away, leeching the dry beach and making it it's own. In the ocean swells white beings dwell, thinking black thoughts, like a squids ink clouding their minds. They struggle for survival on the seashore, ekeing out existance by cold-hearted ruthlessness.

Something staggers out of a nearby cavern. It's coated in indigo blood, and it steams with angry heat. It stomps down the shore, clutching at a gash in it's arm, and snatches up a blind fish. It looks in the fishes face, and then bites down on its spine, killing the fish. The thing devours the meal whole and quickly.

Something large rose out of the waves, water pouring off it in waves. Thick grit was plastered onto it from the polluted ocean, making it's normally white shell a dismal grey color. The thing covered in indigo cracked it's neck.

The beast came down in a downward strike, throwing it's considerable bulk into the fight. The indigo creature leapt to the side, grabbing onto the scales and running up the round side of the massive snakelike being. It gripped the thing behind the eyes, in the two small holes that allowed it to see. It thrashed for a few seconds, and then was still.

The third lusus was obtained.

RM: yeah uhh i don't think so!
RM: if you're just another crazy loser stalker like bootStrapper you can forget about it
II: Whoa.
II: She's been getting in on this?
II: She didn't tell me.
RM: I can imagine
RM: she doesn't tell anyone anything
RM: i've had like twelve convos with her and the extent of my knowledge about her is literally
RM: "she's a creep" and "her handle is bootStrapper"
RM: oh and she's a girl
RM: thank you for informing me of that with your indiscriminate pronoun usage
II: Uh huh.
II: Judging by your rate of messages per second, I'd say this is a sensitive topic.
RM: NO BULL
RM: gee sherlock how'd you figure that one
II: Funny you should mention Sherlock,
II: as I AM a private eye.
II: Of sorts.
RM: yeah well take your hot chicks and your awesome theme song somewhere else 007
RM: I am not in the mood
II: I'm not here to make trouble.
II: Just to make sure you guys don't screw up even worse than you already have
RM: see how do you figure that?
RM: all i've done so far is make a kickin new pair of gloves and beat the snot out of monsters
II: Yeah, but before that.
II: You started this game.
II: Starting this game unloads a crapton of stuff you've already made a mess of in the future
II: You're playing the game, so you've already failed.
II: Quid Pro Quo.
RM: i don't hold to that
RM: we've been in this game for a grand total of an hour, and you're prophesying doom and gloom already?
RM: smacks to me of getting ahead of yourself
II: Yeah, see, you don't understand.
II: I have pretty much the breadth of your session at my viewing pleasure.
II: I could wait an hour, yell at you, and if I wanted you'd hear it in five minutes.
RM: okay yeah that's just weird
RM: but it sorta fits into what miss sharp objects back here is telling me
II: Oh, wonderful job on the prototypings, by the way.
II: Making everything and everyone in the Medium have a gnawing urge to kill you?
II: Plan of the year.
II: All years.
RM: OK lay off me that one wasn't even my idea
RM: the sprite just sorta picked that one out itself
II: Really?
II: I wasn't under the impression that a sprite could do that.
RM: o rly
RM: what did you put in
RM: provided you actually played this game and aren't just some construct thereof
II: Oh, yeah, I played it.
II: Played and won.
II: Still lost in the end, though.
II: Because, I'm pretty sure, of something you did.
RM: blar blar it's all Meat Boy's fault
RM: don't change the subject
RM: what did you put in
II: A gun.
RM: LOL
RM: talk about bad prototyping choices
II: To be fair, that was without a doubt the worst thing my session prototyped with.
II: And it still pales in comparison to what your team is going to put in.
RM: so tell us what we're about to put in and we'll put something else in
RM: simple as that
II: That's the thing.
II: I'm trying to prevent at least one of you from getting in at all
RM: whoa boyo no can do
RM: firey death via meteor ETA now
RM: i won't let my friends die no way no how
II: Fine then.
II: Your friend Tim is about to go in.
II: He's going to prototype some time-altering artifact he has on him.
II: TELL HIM NOT TO.
II: Because he won't listen to me.
RM: what his ring
RM: i doubt he'll put that in
RM: little bugger slows everything around it to a crawl
RM: no way would Tim be that stupid
II: EARTH TO MEAT BOY.
II: He puts it in.
II: I see him do it.
II: I can see him doing it right now.
RM: so wait he's already entering the game?
II: NO!
II: I can see him doing it, precisely fifteen minutes from now.
II: From YOUR perspective.
II: From my perspective, the difference between the time you're at right now and the time he prototypes the ring are functionally meaningless,
II: since I'm literally in a different universe from you and have most of your timeline to pick apart at my whim.
RM: So...
RM: why are you trying to get me to stop him, if you know that's what he does?
II: Because maybe it doesn't have to be.
II: Time is not my forte.
II: In fact, it's none of ours in this session.
II: I'm the Rogue of Shadow.
II: I get down with the nitty gritty, get-your-hands-dirty sorta stuff.
RM: pfft nice
RM: make that up by yourself
II: I know, it sounds dorky.
II: But that's the title the game gave me.
II: I'm pretty sure you have one, too.
RM: whoa really
RM: what is it
II: I don't know.
II: I haven't asked future you yet.
II: But I digress.
II: This timeline is possibly not what has to take place.
II: I'm hoping, I guess, if I screw around enough with it, something different will happen.
II: Something that doesn't lead to a fire-breathing monstrosity hanging over us like a proverbial guillotine.
RM: so wait
RM: why don't you explain this to Tim?
RM: he seems reasonable
II: Two reasons.
II: Reason A: He is a transtemporal jackhole.
II: Reason B: He's already talking to someone in the only available timeframe, which is in a few minutes.
II: I can't contact him.
II: That's why I'm asking you to talk to him, in hopes that the someone he's talking to actually turns out to be you.
RM: that
RM: that actually souds pretty reasonable
RM: are you sure you're a troll
II: No.
II: Just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control.
RM: BEYOND MY CONTROOOOOOLLL
II: What.
RM: sorry
RM: that reminded me of a song
II: Just talk to him.
II: It'll make all of our lives easier.
RM: fine i guess
RM: bye

This was excellent. Rose's dialogue is absolutely perfect. You're one of the best writers I've seen here, and I'm really looking forward to more from you.

@Kerensky: Keep up the good work! Being a Comprehensive Judge may be tough, but everyone will love you for it.

@Lantadyme: Holy crap. You took who was probably the least characterized "character" of Homestuck, and you spun that masterpiece out of her.

Nice pun on the frogs, by the way. I wonder if that actually has anything to do with anything.

**lantadyme** · 01-17-2011, 10:07 PM

I've been knitting for about a year and once it occurred to me, it had to be written.

@Decker: Haha, I feel so shaky on my Rose voice. Good to know she sounds like herself.
@Graven: I'm so stupidly fond of Casey. XD

By the name of Bilious Slick that was amazing. I love Casey so much.
