it's like i'm looking in the mirror at someone else

Characters: [OU] Vriska Serket and you!
Setting: Around the tower, wherever
Format: Starting with action but I'll match.
Summary: Vriska takes some time to look at her life and look at her choices.
Warnings: None!

[Vriska's taken to a skulking method of wandering around the tower, instead of the confident stride she boasted before Spidermom showed up. Now it feels like she's always hiding and always looking for her next victim, and really, that's what she's doing. Not that she'll ever admit that she's hiding from anything, because she's not! That's absolutely not why she's switched back to her old outfit with her wings always tucked away to keep from leaving trails around the tower that will lead to her. She's just doing a job, a job that no one wants, and that she was guilted into. She's starting to really resent Karkat for this, because it's digging her deeper into a hole that's going to be hard to crawl out of. Not to mention the countless hours she's spending with his lusus, getting used to her like it's her lusus.

She shakes her head, frowning as she continues through the hallways and up the stairs, pointedly avoiding the forest. Her direction has no aim, she's just wandering for the sake of relieving the restlessness that builds on the days between feeding. She'd fed her again yesterday - a troll of all people, her old kismesis at that - so now she had a couple of days of freedom from the task. But it's anything but. It's just another day of checking over her shoulder for anyone who might be watching her actions too closely. Really, she's becoming as paranoid as the other cerulean. This is just getting ridiculous. She feels like she's completely losing control of the situation, and it's driving her crazy.]

[Aw shit she didn't think of that.]

Nope! Not that I've seen anyway. It's probably because of all of my luck that nothing bad has happened.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Well I suggest you be careful regardless, I'm sure the tower would not appreciate you constantly killing their workers.

Although I appreciate it.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

I'm always careful, Fussyfangs. So careful that nobody's even caught on to it yet!

[Ugh, lying sucks.]

Sure, whatever. I told you I'd deal with them, didn't I?

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[she lets out a sigh]

Just because no one has caught on yet does not mean that no one will. Chances are you will be punished for what you're doing. There's no other way to feed her? I don't want you to get hurt like I did. [yeah she went there]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

You know what she eats, Kanaya. What else do you want me to do, feed myself to her every three days? No thanks!

[She lets out a frustrated sigh because she doesn't want to talk about this anymore. She's weaving a lie so thick it could rival her lusus' web.]

Look, you don't need to worry about me. I'm not weak enough to get hurt.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I know what she eats, it's unfortunate. I was not suggesting that you feed yourself to her! In fact, please do not feed yourself to her. I would be rather upset by that. [she places her hand on Vriska's] I know that you're not weak, but I will still worry.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[She stares down at Kanaya's hand on hers, brows furrowed and she pulls away from it. It's not that it isn't nice, it is. But it makes her feel like shit when Kanaya treats her so well when she's being a deceitful bitch.]

Then you'll be worrying yourself to death, because she isn't going away.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[No matter how Vriska treats her, Kanaya will treat her well. Okay, she has limits and Vriska knows how to test them.]

Then we will find a way to deal with it.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

I've already found a way to deal with her. It's pretty much the only way to do it and it works.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Then you will find no harm in searching for an alternative way as a backup.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

There is no alternative! If you can think of one, be my guest and let me know.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

I will continue to think on it.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

Whatever, it's still a waste of time. But whatever helps you sleep, Fussyfangs.
