[The video clicks on briefly from Vriska fiddling with the buttons, trying to remember how everything works. Blank, white eyes are staring down at it. In fact her whole face is pretty blank until she scowls in annoyance.]

Seriously?

[The feed shuts off abruptly, replaced by text:]

You have to 8e kidding me.
I was wandering around for forever and this place actually 8rought me 8ack when I was 8usy with something again.
What's the deal? Does this place just get a kick out of ruining plans?
Jerked around 8ack there, jerked around here. Can't a girl catch a 8r8k?
Well........ Whatever.
This place is pro8a8ly marginally 8etter than wasting time with Nitram or getting stalked 8y some dead douche8ag that can't take a hint.

8ecause you never make any sense. You either care or you don't 8ut you can't ever decide on which it is on any given day.
You're either upset that I died or you want to say I fucking told you so, Serket.
8ut you can't make a decision on that either, can you?

[glowsferatu]

I Think Ive Made Myself Abundantly Clear Already
Perhaps The Miscommunication Is In Your Lacking Sense Of Comprehension
I Can Easily Prefer You To Not Have Been Met With A Fatal End While Also Attributing That Result To A Series Of Poor Decisions On Your Part
And Finding Your Earlier Insistence On The Impossibility Of This Occurrence Similarly Worthy Of Derision
These Are All Reactions Which Need Not Be In Conflict With Each Other

[luckout]

It was also unavoida8le on the alpha timeline, so 8ad decisions or not wouldn't have made a difference.
So 8asically your argument a8out that is void.

[glowsferatu]

Are You Deliberately Ignoring My Point Or Is It An Unconscious Affliction That Leads You To Focus On The Least Vital Section Of Anything I May Say

[luckout]

What do you think?

[glowsferatu]

Given Your Predilections And Priorities I Would Assume The Second

[ she's just kind of hoping for the first because it means vriska's trying to piss her off on purpose ]

[luckout]

May8e it was the least vital section for you, 8ut not for me.
Did you ever consider that????????
When did you get to 8e so self-centered?

[glowsferatu]

Youre Claiming My Argument To Be Invalid Due To Things Entirely Independent Of My Argument
Thats What Calls Its Vitality Into Question
Youre Dismissing A Point You Havent Even Attempted Taking The Time To Understand

[luckout]

I don't have time to 8other with this crap, Maryam.
You just go on and on. Do you ever shut up? Or should I 8e the one trying to shut you up?

[glowsferatu]

It Could Be Easily Accomplished If You Simply Listened For Once
But Then Why Should You Take The Easy Route When The Possibilities That The Alternative Presents Are So Superior

[luckout]

I'd listen if you had anything worth saying.
8ut you don't, and you never do.

[glowsferatu]

You Wouldnt Know It Either Way Would You
Maybe I Was Trying To Say Something You Might Have Been Interested In If You Actually Had A Mind Worth Paying Attention

[luckout]

Trust me, you weren't. I have a sense a8out these things.
Everything that comes from you is 8lah 8lah 8lah nag nag nag Vriska this is ob8vously important why aren't you paying attention to me fuss fuss fuss.
8ut at the end of the day nothing you have to say is really worth the attention!

[glowsferatu]

Maybe I Was Trying To Say That
You Know What
Forget It

[luckout]

What a surprise!!!!!!!! You have nothing to say for once?
Would should cele8r8 this momentous occasion. It happens 8ut once every six sweeps.

[glowsferatu]

Dont Mistake Me For Being Speechless
I Am Simply Conceding That For Me To Make You Listen Would Be A Waste Of Time

[luckout]

Oh, so you're saying that you really do never shut up?
Seriously, Kanaya, you should have just let everyone 8elieve the first one instead. It makes you sound much less o8noxious.

[glowsferatu]

I Just Said Exactly That
There Are Things I Could Be Saying But Im Not Can I Spell That Out More Clearly
Can You Not Even Read Or Are You So Set On Seeing What Youd Prefer Rather Than The Actual Reality That The Stubbornness Has Begun To Strangle Your Brain Matter And Ruin Your Comprehension

[luckout]

Hahahaha, wow, how mad are you?
You seem so pissed a8out something so dum8! It's em8arrassing.

[glowsferatu]

Well Maybe If You Could Actually Read Instead Of Picking Out What You Like While Ignoring The Original Statements Resemblance To Your Arguments
It Isnt My Fault Youre An Idiot

[luckout]

It isn't my fault you're too stupid to realize when I'm hassling you.

[glowsferatu]

It Doesnt Qualify As Hassling When You Would Quite Easily Undertake The Same Action Without Deliberation
This Occurrence Is More Exception Than Rule
How Should I Know The Difference

[luckout]

I dunnoooooooo, may8e you should figure it out and let me know when you do. :::;)

[glowsferatu]

Maybe I Could Simply Ensure Your Silence Instead
Force You To Listen

[luckout]

How do you plan on doing that?
It's pretty hard to shut me up through text.
