Hiya, everybody! Gee, I'm sorry that I've been so quiet fer so long... Minnie got a real bad case of the... whatever-ya-wanna-call-it that was goin' 'round, so I was spendin' every second of every day helpin' her get better.

Now that she's up and at 'em, I figure I should get ta know everyone here better, since it looks like we're all gunna be stuck here a while. So let's make this interestin'... gimmie yer name, and somethin' about yerself that makes ya totally different than anybody else!

I'll start off! My name is Mickey Mouse, and I'm a King! Yer turn!

I'm talkin' down to him because his attainment a royal status is total shit!

Okay, Eridan, for one, that is a lie and you know it. You have no proof. Two, let's say you did... who cares? I don't know if you noticed but there is no Alternia anymore! There is nothing left for us to be royalty of either!

He told me how. That's why I know.

[He frowns though.]

Just because we might hawe lost what we ruled ower doesn't mean our status has to be entirely rewoked. It's part a who we are. Who we were meant to fuckin' be. He, howewer, just got lucky an' hooked up with some queen who was willin' to share her status or somethin', I don't know. Sounds like complete bullshit to me.

[But... All of this is making him look like a total ass ffff. As much as he's been trying to give up the whole blood-hate thing, it's still really hard for him to give up his status. Weh so hard.]

Look, whatewer, lets just drop it.

And, what, you got lucky and got hatched with the supposedly right bloodcolor, that someone arbitrarily decided was better than the rest?

[ Huff. It's not as though she doesn't miss the prospect of being Empress. And when he goes on like this, it makes it a lot harder to keep her promise, but he hasn't specifically done anything, now has he? ]

I'm not just dropping this. I've always just dropped it, hoping maybe someday you'd grow up and it would click, but it never did, and look where it got us.

[ Sighing, she looks away from the camera. She's been trying not to bring that up or linger on it, but it's hard, when it's the result of so many still-persisting issues. It's hard to will herself to look back again, but she does, looking more disappointed than angry-- as usual. ]

Why do you have to be better than him? What do you accomplish? What threat is he to you?

[Damnit Fef... He knew she wouldn't drop it. He didn't even mean for that comment to sprout all this attention, he was just being an asshole to some fucking squeakbeast he didn't even know and would probably forget about in time, maybe. He didn't want some moral debate about this. Why must everything he say be taken as if it was a death threat against somebody?]

[... Nevermind, he knows why, but it doesn't make shit any easier. Can't a guy just be a dick every once in a while? He's gonna throw up a filter, this isn't anyone's business but his and Fef's.]

He's not a threat, it was just a stupid fuckin' comment Fef. That's all it was. I don't ewen walue the hemospectrum like I used to anymore. If I did, do you honestly think I'd hawe been moirails with Kar? Or ewer become his matesprit? Kar's the exact fuckin' thing our society would hawe wanted to be nothin' but a fuckin' splatter on the goddamn ground, but am I fuckin' cross his with? Do I treat him as if he's below me? No I fuckin' don't.

[He pauses, trying to calm down a little.]

... Look I... I was fuckin' wrong for treatin' him like that, I'll admit that... I'm tryin' to work on this shit, but sometimes I'm just spewin' hot air, Fef, sometimes that's all it is. I--I know to you especially, it doesn't fuckin' look like that, but... Just. Fuck. I'm sorry, alright?

[He's so tired of fighting with you Fef.]

[ As is she, but it seems to keep happening. It's either that, or giving up means giving up on him entirely, and boy is she ready to do just that, but... ]

This isn't just about the hemospectrum. I was just making a point. Listen... I know you're full of shit, and so does Vriska, and Karkat, and maybe some of the friends you've made here, but not everybody does! Why risk making any enemy out of a stranger?

I'm not the one you need to apologize to. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I'm just trying to help.

[He definitely pouts somewhat at that "full of shit" comment. What a way to put it, jeez, even if it IS true. He sighs. What's so wrong with acting like a troll? They've always been antagonistic shits, and that's all he was doing. Who said he necessarily wanted to be friends with this mouse, and why should he? What's wrong with having enemies? Isn't that a normal thing anyways? He agreed to start acting better an less hostile, but he wasn't even being hostile here, just a little asshole.]

... What's wrong with trollin' Fef? Sure, maybe I'll make a enemy or whatewer, but he hardly looks the type to actually DO anythin' when ewen prowoked. Not to mention, the last person I was half way decent to an' didn't actually cause any problems with fuckin' murdered Kar, so I really don't understand the point a bein' needlessly nice to someone when it doesn't make a lick a difference how I act.

[Yeah, so maybe he's a touch bitter towards new people over that whole ordeal.]

But fine. I'we already apologized to him anyway.

Edited 2012-03-14 02:07 (UTC)

Thank you for apologizing, I appreciate that. But just because one person betrayed you, doesn't mean you need to swear off being nice forever.

[ She withholds the pointed addition she could make to that. She hadn't meant to imply it, but she's pretty sure he gets the picture on that one and doesn't need her to belabor it. Besides, it's not exactly doing a whole lot for her anyway. ]

We're not among trolls. Trolling isn't... well, it's not culturally acceptable here! Like, I get it, sometimes it's fun, and funny, and they're all kind of a little soft skinned? But we need to try and fit in. We need to be able to stay here. You need to be able to stay here, and make friends, and be happy.

[ Then briefly, she hesitates, barely managing to halt herself before spitting out the rest of that train of thought. Because she wants to say something so badly, but is unsure of how he'll receive it-- or how others would receive it. She's not even sure how she'll feel about it once it's said. It seems like a terrible idea, but her curiosity as to how it might affect the situation weighs out. ]

If we're still-- no, if you want to call yourself royalty, then you need to start acting like it. You need to think about the things you say, and take the diplomatic high road!

[ Wow, nope, yep. She already feels skeevy for even attempting to hint at her own "superiority". Damn. She sighs a little. ]
