Nhhhhhh!

[A medium pitched whine is what opens the feed up today, big yellow eyes frowning childishly into the screen. That is definitely Vanitas' face, but he's looking a little... off. While the face hogs the screen, there's a continuous sound of metal clashing on metal in the background, but Vanitas doesn't seem to be paying any attention to it. Instead, he's starting to make a few silly faces!

Crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue, then wiggling his eyebrows and blowing a raspberry, he's just amusing the hell out of himself, judging from the chittering chuckles. Jerking with a surprised yelp a moment later though, there's a large puff of smoke with the gear clattering on the ground.

Black and red streaks away before Vanitas is picking up the gear again with a very solid scowl.]

Little shit, using my face to look like an idiot...

[Oh was this thing on? Not anymore 8D]

Yes, exactly!!! [ This explanation is going a lot better than her other one. ] The current situation involves our teams being split into three various groups! Two of those groups are travelling towards the new session - one on the meteor and one on a ship - and the third group is everyone in the afterlife currently, which has further groups, but you don't really need to know about those.

Sollux and I are both in the third group, and we're the only living people who are! Although he doesn't remember that, so it's not really pertinent information.

Sounds like a hundred things are going on all at once. I guess all I can say is good luck, huh?

Well, I suppose you don't have to say it here, though. Unless this is another part of the game, but I don't believe so!

Yeah, I guess so. [He snorts quietly.]

To be frank, the circumstances here are generally more pleasant than those previous, although I don't think things are so hopeless as all that.

It's like that for my world, kind of. This place is better overall though. If I had the choice, I'd stay forever.

I'm not certain what I would choose. I think it depends on what happens if I were to make that choice! I assume given the timeline differences that we are either offshoots of the alpha timeline or are taken and returned without effecting the overall timeline. If that were not the case, however, then I would have to behave differently than I might otherwise.

You're still alive in your world, right? So it probably makes a difference if you're there or not. In mine, I pretty much.. cease to exist as I am here. So, living here is better in all cases.

I am now, yes! So you die at home? [ Aradia that's not something you just ask people ]

In a way. I'm only half of a whole person like this, but this world lets me live like this without consequence. In my world, this body has died and I no longer exist as "Vanitas".

Who do you exist as?

Ventus. You'll probably see him on the network at some point. He doesn't look or act like it, but he's who I come from.

Like an ancestor, then. In a way!

In a way, I guess? We used to be the same person.

Our ancestors look pretty much like we do, but...it's not the same.

Hm. I'm really not sure what else to say!

... Sorry. It's not really easy to explain. Thanks for telling me about all that though.

No, I understand what you're saying...I just don't know what else to ask about it, or how much you'd want to talk about it.

And I don't mind telling you about things.

I'm pretty sure you're the nicest troll I've ever spoken with. You're upbeat even, instead of nice and just hiding it like Karkat does.

[ ...Wow, that's some compliment, although she sort of has to laugh at the part about Karkat. ]

Ah, thank you? I don't think I'm the nicest out of all of us, even!

You aren't a douchebag like Eridan or Sollux. Therefore, you are the nicest out of the ones I know.

Oh, Sollux is just a grump, he's not that bad. [ ...To...her, anyway. ]

He spent a six hour train ride talking about how I could hide a bomb in my hair, and bitching about cutting it.

That's when you just tell him to shut up, really.

[ she's done that before in canon. ]

He wouldn't, even when I said that.

Probably not, but it can be fun to say!
