Who: Vriska and Bro. Yes.
What: [S] STRIFE!
When: Backdated to before test drive at least. The first day of summer school, whenever that was.
Where: The school. Starting probably in the hallway or something and then moving to the roof.
Why: Because they're stupid.

[ Summer school is dumb. So dumb. She is still mad that she got sorted into this bullshit. She is even more mad, mostly at herself, for participating with the charade.

Stupid lousy supportive friends and teachers and their stupid lousy encouragement to be less of a shitty person and more like a productive member of society.

So when she sees Bro in the hallway, he gets a pretty sour look. ]

What the hell, do they still force us to take music class in summer school?

I've developed a guilty pleasure for watching these competitive "reality shows" on television.

I'm not sure why they call them that. It's an arbitrary name, when you think about it. "Reality shows" hardly capture reality.

The competition aspect of them is often rather pointless as well. What does eating a pound of brains prove, other than that the contestant has no gag reflex? Why not test your mettle at an actual survival skill?

( He falls silent, but not because he's thinking. He's already aware of the situation. )

Given the island setting, I'd say I'm in one such "reality show" now.

But my strength feels considerably limited, so being voted off the island seems like my best option...

( Shatterstar heaves a sigh, having finally resigned himself to acceptance. )

... or it would be, if that offer were on the table. I know enough about captivity to know this is a different kind of game.

Will, don't start, I saw a Pikachu when I got lunch. Anything's possible.

I have a question.

Are doppelgangers a real thing? I mean

Not like shadows of yourself or anything. I met something like that once and it was different. [also it kicked his butt at first probably maybe. and then it split into several at once. on a pirate ship. that was a weird afternoon.]

I mean like a totally different person that happens to look just like you. I guess that's not really a doppelganger, though...

But is that a thing here?

Oh, and hi! I'm Sora.
