[ So. It's that time again, Vatheon. The new arrivals are coming.

This one is a particularly disgruntled young man, hair a soaking wet mess around his face, even covering his eyes. He lifts a hand to push the strands back against his head and he gives the SFC a look, flipping it around a couple times before he lets it settle back on his face again. ]

This is Suguro Ryuuji, Exwire, Tokyo Division, reporting--

[ But he stops and frowns, grumbling. ]

--Screw it. If there's anyone here from home, let me know you're alright.

[ BLIP goes the screen. He's going to be chilling in the plaza. ]

[ He opens his mouth for a second and then stops, snapping it shut again. ]

You're not a demon.

[She tilts her head towards the camera, her seven pupils all staring at him.]

Hmmmmmmmm? What gave it away? You're not the first one to call me that, you know!

[secondcoolest]

The chatty ones look human.

[ sry2say but you don't. ]

[f8tal]

Awwwwwwww, and here I was looking forward to hearing you recite poetry to me! That would be so-- what's the word you humans use... romantic!

[A laugh.]

But no, I'm not a demon or a human! I'm part of a pretty extinct alien race called trolls!

[secondcoolest]

Roman--

[ FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF wait she's a what. ]

You're an alien.

[ ... ]

Right.

Did I stutter?

[secondcoolest]

Demons I get. Demons I've seen. Aliens are a little out there. You'll have to give me a minute.

it loves you

[f8tal]

You'll meet far worse than aliens here! You should start getting used to it.

So what are your demons like? Do they burst into flames and turn into small animals? Or are they large and ugly and drool everywhere like a fucking moron?

[secondcoolest]

A little of both, actually. Though I'm more familiar with the large, ugly, drooling ones.

[ Just got done helping to kill one, actually. ]

[f8tal]

[Casuuuually peeks at some of his other public threads.]

You know Rin?

[secondcoolest]

Yeah, I know Rin. Why?

[f8tal]

Don't look so scared! It's not a bad thing~ He's a pretty cool guy.

Kinda dull in the thinkpan, but a good guy.

[secondcoolest]

[ Spoiler: he sort of always looks like this.

Or pissed.

Scared or pissed.

Pretty much it.

Also going to just go on gut instinct here and assume thinkpan means the brain. ]

...Guess you do know him too, then. Still not thinking things through first, I'm guessing.

[f8tal]

[Good gut instinct.]

He's got good intentions, but I'm pretty sure they're gonna cost him an arm and a brother--

Oh, I meant leg! [Laughs.]

[secondcoolest]

[ It's saved his ass a couple of times now.

But his eyes narrow by a few degrees as he looks at her. ]

What's that supposed to mean.

[f8tal]

What's what supposed to mean?

[secondcoolest]

An arm and a brother?

[f8tal]

I said leg! Didn't you hear me correct myself?

[secondcoolest]

I'm not Okumura.

[ He may not look it but he's the smart one of the group okay. ]

That wasn't a slip of the tongue.

[f8tal]

Hmmmmmmm.

[Private]

Can you keep a serket?

[secondcoolest]

[ Wait hold on you're doing things he hasn't come across yet.

...Okay. There. Private feed. ]

A secret? Of course.

private

[f8tal]

[There you go, Bon. Her amused expression flickers for a moment before she sighs.]

If you're reeeeeeeeally his friend then you should know he's been really stressed lately about a lot of stuff. Admittedly, I don't know what about, but it would probably be great if you could- I'unno, be there for him or something.

I'm no good with helping people. Even the ones I kinda like! It's never worked out for me, I guess. So since you're his friend you should try and help him with whatever shit he's dealing with.

Think you can do that, nerd?

private

[secondcoolest]

[ Not the answer he was expecting.

There's a scowl at being called a nerd but it smooths over quickly enough, replaced by concern. He glances off camera somewhere before looking back. ]

Yeah, I'll... I'll definitely look out for him.

[ First because he's a friend. ...Second because we can't have him going nuts and demon'ing at everyone. ]

You never gave me your name.

private

[f8tal]

Good. Also, you better not tell him I said any of this! The last thing I need is for him to think I'm soft or something...

[Very small huff.]

It's Vriska! Vriska Serket.

private

[secondcoolest]

[ Don't worry, Vriska. Bon knows this archetype. Bon IS this archetype.

Which is why he's able to give a little smirk.

You have to care without it being obvious you care! ]

Don't worry, I'll keep it under lock and key.
