Good day my fellow New Moorians.
I have a few very simple questions here for you all, if you would not mind. It would be most appreciated.

1. What do you think about this whole 'you were fictional but now you aren't' hodgepodge?

2. What do you think of our natives? Do you trust them? If so, why? If not, why?

3. Where do you believe we really are?

4. Do you have a criminal record? Did you have a criminal record? Have you done anything that could have landed you a criminal record in the past?

5. Have you ventured into the Hospital? If so, I would very much like to speak with you.

6. Have you ventured off the island? How far did you get?

[ Private to Commander Shepard ]
Are you effected?

[ Private to Beebs ]
Are you effected?

[ Private to Yourcroft ]
Are you effected?

[ Blurgh. Vriska, at level two, happens to glance at this and is thus compelled to answer every single question. This annoys her gr8tly. ]

1. 8ullshit. Mostly? I think there could 8e more to it 8ut I'm not sure what yet.

2. I think they're lame, and I don't trust them! I 8elive they are fooling us a8out what's actually going on.

3. I don't know. [ It is straight up honest. ]

4. No? Sort of? Yes. I did a lot of 8ad things to a lot of people. [ Don't say it don't say it don't say it don't say it ] I'm not proud of it. [ FUCK!!!!!!!! ]

5. No. Why is that important?

6. I plan to test the limits of how far I can go, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[ Being forced to answer number 4 has left her seething. Especially since she is well aware that she will have to answer any follow up questions. Revealing her sordid, blood-soaked history to all of New Moore was never in her plans. ]

WOOPS SHERLOCK MAKES A LOT OF ENEMIES LOL

[cruciverbalist]

[ Ding ding. We have a winner. ]

What sort of bad things? If you wouldn't mind.

[ Although he himself is not completely uneffected. He does not find himself compelled to speak but he does find that he cannot tell lies. ]

I believe there is something more to the Hospital.

I CAN SEE WHY

[hypertoxic]

[ FUUUUUUUUCK. She officially hates your ass, Sherlock. Watch your back, because an angry troll is going to be all over your shit for a while. ]

Fuck! Fuck you for asking me this.
I've killed people. Memb8ers of my own race. Many, many thousands of them. It was perfectly accepta8le by troll standards! I had to do it to survive. 8ut most humans would 8e horrified by that much death. I guess.
I've gone after my friends and maimed and crippled them 8ecause they made me mad. I killed some of them, too. I never meant to. It wasn't supposed to 8e that way. Things just got out of hand and 8y the time I realized it, it was too l8!
Why the fuck do you even want to know?

[cruciverbalist]

It's my business to know other people's business.

Why was it that way?

[hypertoxic]

This wasn't 8usiness anyone needed to fucking know, you piece of shit!
It was that way 8ecause I made a lot of mistakes and listened to some fucker I shouldn't have.

[cruciverbalist]

[ Hum. He almost feels a little bad about this. Crime is so circumstantial, but still. ]

Have you had the urge to repeat yourself here?

[hypertoxic]

No. No, I d8n't fucking want to! I have 8een trying to le8ve all that 8ehind for a very long time, and you just f8cked it all up for me forever.
I don't want to k8ll anyone. Not ag8in.
I mean, sometimes I want to 8eat people up. People who could hold their own against me! 8ut I don't want to hurt anyone like I used to. It would 8e pointless.
Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

[cruciverbalist]

[ This makes him be quiet for some time. Actually -- yes, that's it. He's done. ]

[hypertoxic]

[ Oh, lovely, he stopped. That gives her the fucking chance to focus her powers and find his mind with her own.


Have a nice nap, you dick. ]

[riseup]

oh jeez.
don't listen to him, vriska, this guy is a jerk.

[hypertoxic]

John.

[ The only one who didn't abandon her even when afraid. ]

It's all ruined. Don't you get it?

[riseup]

it's not ruined!
and he didn't fuck anything up for you forever.
he's just some asshole baiting people into saying stuff.
you said it yourself, you do not want to kill anyone again.
that's true and no one can change that about you.

[hypertoxic]

No one is going to 8elieve it.
Except may8e you and Karkat.
A killer is a killer is a killer.
I just don't want a mo8 of outraged humans coming after me.

[riseup]

i think you're too hard on yourself.
people change all the time.
and if someone doesn't believe that, that's not your fault.
they're the one's missing out.

[riseup]

if a mob of outraged humans ever happens, i know a nice tornado or five that they would get to meet.

[hypertoxic]

Hahahaha.
I'm gr8ful for you, John.
Even if I don't get you sometimes.
You told me once you were scared of the things I'd done. Even 8ack then I knew how horri8le it sounded.
So, why? Why do you keep 8othering?

[riseup]

well, yeah.
of course i was scared.
i still am!
it's just that i am not scared of you.
i would be scared of a person who did terrible things and didn't feel bad about them or didn't want to make things right...
but that's not who you are.

[riseup]

i've spent a lot of time around trolls here and i still think you're one of the best ones.
and for the record, i don't keep bothering because there is nothing to bother with.
it's not like a chore or anything.
you are my friend and i know you're a good person.
it's simple as that!

[hypertoxic]

You are a 8etter friend than I pro8a8ly deserve.
Thank you, John.

[riseup]

no way, that's not how friendship works.
you are welcome though.
any time.
i haven't gotten to really talk to you in over a year, did you know that?
you popped in and out a lot.
i mean, not you-you, since none of the other yous were dead, and even if they were it's not like you would remember being here.
but you get what i mean!
oh jeez, what am i saying.
i missed you and i don't want you to leave again.
there. those were words.

[hypertoxic]

It's 8een kind of a while for me too.
In fact, until you just sort of randomly showed up in that dream8u88le, I hadn't seen you in sweeps. The alpha timeline version of you.
Or what felt like it, at least!
Pff.
This is really sappy, John.
I am sort of ok with that. 8ut only sort of.

[riseup]

sorry, that happens sometimes.
maybe if you tell me when your wriggling day is and stick around, you will get the full sentimental egbert birthday package.

[hypertoxic]

[ She is seriously not sorry about doing this to Sherlock's post. Motherfucker can deal with it. ]

Oh my god, John.
How would I even figure that out against a human calendar????????

[riseup]

[ RIGHT???? THAT'LL SHOW THAT BASTARD ]

i don't know, but when you use your lighty magics to figure it out make sure you tell me.

[hypertoxic]

Dork.
You will 8e the first person to know.
Also, lighty magics????????
Way to make it sound totally lame!
