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]

... Guess I can only say sorry it happened, since it's already done and you seem already past it, for the most part.

[timelymaid]

I am. Sollux is...less so.

video;

[shadowdive]

Understandably.

video;

[timelymaid]

I think most of the others have forgiven her that.

video;

[shadowdive]

Why?

video;

[timelymaid]

Well, it's just a general feeling? But really, there were a lot of murders, and mine was needed.

[shadowdive]

Why was it necessary for you to die then?

video;

[timelymaid]

If I hadn't died, we would have all died when we fought the king.

[shadowdive]

[Tips his head; explanation is needed, info fairy!]

[timelymaid]

After I died Equius made me a robotic body.

I mentioned I was a time player, right? Using that, I accumulated a rather large number of doomed selves. They - we - were able to suppress the king's glub working together. I could not have done that without that body; my usual body no matter the plurality would not have sufficed.

The glub was something from Feferi's lusus, which would have killed us all.

[shadowdive]

I think I get it. [Not that he knows what the glub particularly WAS, or what Feferi's lusus was, but the fact that it would have killed everyone is the tip.] Are you alive only here then?

video;

[timelymaid]

No, I came back to life back home, a while after that.

video;

[shadowdive]

.. How? Death is fairly permanent to any world.

video;

[timelymaid]

Not in ours, I shouldn't think. Karkat's died once, too. His dreamself, admittedly, but it's the same thing in the end. I've died quite a few times, as has Sollux! Actually, everyone here has died at least once. Except John? I think he's too far back to have died yet.

[shadowdive]

[Frowning forever ok.] Oh.

video;

[timelymaid]

It's a bit dangerous back home.

[ understatement ]

[shadowdive]

"A bit" is the understatement of the year, just so you know.

video; STILL FILTERED GUYS WHOOPS

[timelymaid]

Do I get a prize?

video; HAHAHAHAHA

[shadowdive]

Yeah, sure. What do you want?

video; filtered IDK WHEN WE FORGOT ABOUT IT

[timelymaid]

I'm told a gold star is a desirable prize!

video; filtered IT WAS JUST ASSUMED HAHAHHAA

[shadowdive]

Then a gold star it is. [Give him a sec, he's getting a marker and some paper.. drawing said gold star and hold it up in front of the screen.] There you go.

video; filtered JUST SO NO ONE THINKS THEY RANDOMLY UNFILTERED OK

[timelymaid]

[ Oh wow he actually made her a gold star. Granted it's just in a video clip, but. ]

I'll treasure it for always! [ Totally joking around. ]

video; filtered yessssssssssssss

[shadowdive]

Take a picture, digital stuff seems to last longer than the paper ever would.

video; filtered

[timelymaid]

Unless someone deletes it, anyway.

video; filtered

[shadowdive]

There's probably ways to get it back even if it's deleted. Sollux is the electronics guy for that kind of thing.
