[When the recording starts the picture is moving along in a rather strange, jerky motion, up to a door that gets headbutted open by the feathery head that's holding the starfish in its mouth, revealing...

...what seems to be the low-lit interior of something more akin to a cave than a room, littered with messy piles of soft scraps and plushies and yarn and even the occasional teapot.

A monstrous shadow looms on the wall, a fearsome looking four-horned creature.]

You're the best, Gamzee! I'd nefur have been able to reach to use all that extra wall if you weren't here, nope nope nope!

[And with a squawk the chocobo drops the SFC, sending it cartwheeling until it points at the origins of that shadow, a messier-than-usual kitty troll perched on a clown troll's shoulders, various hues of paint staining her hands and clothes and even her cheeks, still dripping a bright red from an outstretched paintbrush that had been adding the finishing touches to a heart high up on:]

Oh, Pounce! Hi Pounce! I'm really glad that Gamzee brought you to visi...POUNCE WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?! OH NOOOOO...

[She attempts to leap at the wall to block it from view; this doesn't go well when instead it just makes both trolls topple over in a tangle of limbs.]

My wallllllll! [click!]

What's your fucking deal anyways? It's just some shitty drawings!

Back off, kid, I'm not getting into anything remotely like this discussion with you.

Don't call me a kid you stupid wench! You aren't even that much older than me!

It's just a fucking picture. If you hate it that much go and destroy it!

I'll call you whatever I want, grub. I'm sorry if it devasstates you that badly that I don't respect you as much as you do me, but it really isn't of any interest to me, and neither is letting you rile me up because you're feeling inadequate when someone so much as doesn't use your name. How insecure can you even get? Don't you have any self respect at all?

[If you could see her, she'd be puffing up.] Fuck you- Who said I ever respected you? I only ever looked your way so that I could become better than you!

Which, guess what? I have!

I know what happened to you later on in your stupid life, probably even more than you know right now! I know what you become and I know that I rose above you loooooooong ago! So yeah, you know what? Don't call me by name because you don't deserve to say it!

Your time is over before it even begun!

God, you're pathetic.

Really, I can't believe you're descended from me. You're not worth my time or anyone else's.

[ Clicks off the SFC. ]

[To herself:]

Yeah... I guess not.

Miss Sekret.

[Darkleer's voice is calm and steady as he contacts the younger spidertroll.]

[OH NO DID HE HEAR HER...

Oh no no no-]

What.

[If Darkleer did, he seems to make no mention of it. Instead-]

Difficult, isn't she? I almost pity anyone who has to deal with her. Or the Ampora boy- just as much of an aggravation as his ancestor.

Yeah... [Oh he's... actually being civil to her. Alright.]

They aren't worth my time. I have better things to do than listen to them spit shit at me.

[He wasn't lying when he said he pities people who have to deal with Mindfang.]

No doubt. Those who spit venom are often trying to do one of two things, or perhaps both.

Do you like tea, Miss Sekret?

Things? [She asks carefully before sniffing.]

Not really. Kanaya gave me some once and it tasted like dishwater.

They're trying to poison you, or trying to hide how they themselves have been poisoned. At least, from what I have seen.

[A small, contemplative hum.] What do you like, then?

Ah. [No more comments on that.]

Coffee is okay. Or soda. [Things that keep her up and wired.]

Why are you asking me this?

Coffee, then.

I was thinking that I'd prefer some company other than my usual sort, and you appear to need someone who will not try to kill you. Perhaps we can meet at a later time today.

[She almost starts to say no because that is her automatic response to anything like this- but she stops. What did she have to lose?]

Sure, whatever. Where do you want to meet?

Are you familiar with the Nostalgia Quarter?

No? Should I be?

Not necessarily. It's simply a portion of the city that sells things from the homeworlds of the citizens here.

I can send you coordinates if you desire.

I can find it on my own!

I thought you could, but I thought I should make the offer nonetheless.

I'll be available in a few hours. I've run into just a bit of trouble. [Mindfang.] I look forward to seeing you.

[Her finger hovers over the button to turn the video communication on. She felt like she should say something... but she had no idea what. Kanaya's finger moves to the side and turns the device off.]

[MAN VRISKA SURE IS MAKING AN ASS OF HERSELF, EVEN MINDFANG CAN'T STAND HER. This shit's hilarious! A+ Vriska, would lol again.]
