(angry) text; EDITED LATER TO BE LOCKED

[hypertoxic]

[ Being forced to answer this post and admit something she'd rather not have has left Vriska pretty peeved. She is not down with your shit, New Moore, and she is going to take her revenge. ]

What's a secret you've 8een just dying to tell someone a8out 8ut couldn't? Now's your chance! Let it all out. We're all 8eing forced into this anyway!

[ She is hoping others will be snagged like she was and forced into answering.

And it will end well if they are. ]

(ooc; Feel free to thread jack the hell out of this post if you want to leap on someone saying something shocking! GO NUTS. Interested parties are also EXTREMELY FREE to go leap on Vriska and Sherlock's thread with their own comments.

regarding the post edit: Vriska will have made good on her word and locked the post to private. Private, however, only to those who have already seen it, so no one else can stumble into it. However, if you still want to tag in, feel free! We'll all just say it came in before she locked the post. Carry on with your life ruining.)

I think may8e that's what I h8 the most?
Facing the fact that no matter what I would have done it anyway, 8ecause that's just what I am!
I really fucking wish I could stop talking, hahahaha.
I guess what I want to know is if it was all going to happen exactly the way it did anyway, why did you even 8other? What was the point?
Supposedly, the timeline wouldn't have 8een any different 8ecause I was going to do it anyway!

[cueball]

[A timeline where I did not insert myself into the events would not be the Alpha Timeline.
That was all.]

[hypertoxic]

Lol. Of course. I guess I should have figured.
Why do you always keep talking to me? What do you g8in from it?

[cueball]

[There is no gain for me.
I engage for pleasure.]

[hypertoxic]

Sick freak.

[cueball]

[It's ok Vriska.
I know you wish you were half as good as me in what we both do.
You'll have to settle for being below average.]

[hypertoxic]

You're wrong a8out that.
Pretty much the last thing I want to 8e is anything like you, fucker!

[cueball]

[I don't mean like me.
But to have my skill.
Which goes back to the point of this network post.
Trying to get people to talk while in this situation, so you can embarrass them, is incredibly boresome.]

[hypertoxic]

You say that like I was trying to have finesse or something.
I seriously wasn't. I wasn't really thinking at all actually.

[cueball]

[Then why did you make this post?]

[hypertoxic]

Sigh.
I knew that was coming. And I have to answer you!
So enjoy this, I guess.
8ecause I was scared and upset. 8ecause I thought having my past crimes exposed would make a gr8 deal of people angry at me, and I didn't want to 8ecome........
Hunted.
So I guess I had this idea to make everyone else reveal secrets they didn't want to talk a8out and make everyone else mad at each other.
And sort of make them forget what I'd said? Like I could get lost in the fr8y or something.
8efore you tell me, I already know how completely fucking dum8 it was. Seriously.

[cueball]

[You haven't committed any crimes Vriska.
I don't understand why you are under the impression you have?
What you did was perfectly in your right on your planet and for your culture.
For humans, killing is wrong.
For trolls, it is considered a way of life.
If people have different belief values, that doesn't mean you are suddenly in the wrong because of it.
They grew up differently than you and vice versa.
You have done many wrong things.
Killing those below you is not something wrong for you.]

[And as the one who engineered that culture, he knows best.]

I mean.
I know I had to do that stuff, growing up.
I know I was specifically chosen for it! That meant I was strong. I had to 8e.
8ut that doesn't mean I really liked it?
Haha, it used to actually freak me out a lot. After I found Mindfang's journal I tried to convince myself it was fine and all, 8ut........
8ut what? Where am I even going with that.
I guess what I am saying is most humans would consider it a crime, even if trolls wouldn't.
Sort of.
I guess?
I get the feeling sometimes that no one ever really was okay even with that stuff.

[Why should it matter if others aren't ok with it?
You shouldn't do things to appease others Vriska.
It's empty lip service if you don't mean it.
Do you want me to tell you something about the pirate you so dearly admire?
I think telling you this will give you a little more clarity.]

[cueball]

[I knew Marquise Spinnert Mindfang very well in her youth.
Many of her skills, particularly with manipulation, were things I taught her.
She was my protege.
Marquise had a great tenacity and ambition unseen in many. One that even you cannot measure up to.
Please don't be offended by that remark by the way. It is only a fact.
She rarely second guessed herself and didn't turn away from the decisions she made on how she lived.
Her life was one with blood, death, love, hate, sadness, adventure and many other things.
Even when she knew of her death, many sweeps before it occurred, I can't imagine her dying with great regrets over her actions.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
You always had the potential to be like Marquise.
But you second guessed yourself.
I'm telling you now that you have no reason for that.
Live life the way you want to.
To hold yourself back will do you no good when it ends with you putting yourself down for no reason.]

[hypertoxic]

........
You know, I never really noticed it 8efore, 8ut I am finally starting to see it now.
She had no friends. She had lovers and enemies and admirers, 8ut never any friends. I don't think Darkleer would really count.
I don't know if I want what she had. I feel like I should. I used to!
I'm not sure anymore.
I h8 that you're starting to confuse me.
Stop pretending like you're trying to 8e helpful. I'm not 8uying it.
Even if I sort of want to 8elieve it.

[cueball]

[Believe what you want to believe.
I never made decisions for you and I never will.
I am not a puppet master.
Though I am a puppet.]

[hypertoxic]

I always wanted to 8elieve the things you told me.
They always justified everything I already felt and wanted to do.
I should pro8a8ly stop talking to you. I just never do 8ecause I still want to 8eat you at your own game.

[cueball]

[Marquise was the same.
Always trying to get the best of me.
You're more like her than I think you know.]

[hypertoxic]

Coming from you?
I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not.

[cueball]

[Take it however you want.
I rarely insult and rarely compliment all the same.]

[hypertoxic]

8lech. That's right! I forgot. You always tell the truth or whatever.
What a load of cr8p.
If I freeze this thread will you actually stop talking to me or will you just start a new thread and keep making shit worse?

[cueball]

[Go ahead and freeze it if you want.
There isn't anything else for us to discuss at the current time.]
