Oh.

Okay.

It's a little weird to hear you guys talking about that Vriska, too. I don't think I'm offended by that either! But it's just like... to you, she's the real Vriska, and I'm just some past version that doesn't even really exist in your timelines. But to me, I'm all there is! I'm it.

I never thought about it that way, to be honest.

I mean I probably should have, what with all the other mes and other everyone elses I keep seeing all over the place.

But when I found out you were here, it didn't feel like you were another Vriska, or something.

I don't know. You're exactly how I remembered you.

Okay, not exactly, but you get it.

You mean that?

Yeah.

That's probably why I got pissed at you so much when I first got here.

I hate to say it, but it was actually a good feeling.

Like a familiar face thing? But I wasn't the only troll around then!

It wasn't limited to just you.

It was just...

It was really fucking nostalgic. Like I didn't realize I missed being around you guys all the time until I was around you again.

It sort of sucks that I'm gonna forget all this when I leave again.

How defeatist!

What if you leave and then come back? Or we find a way to keep our memories? Or we find a way to keep from leaving entirely!

WELL YEAH. THERE'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY. HELL IF YOU GOT ANY IDEAS SIGN ME UP. I'LL WORK TOWARDS IT.

I really used to hate this place. In a way I sort of still do. I think I'm beyond wanting to leave though.

The scientists living underground, for one thing! I keep trying to get people to go with me because I don't think I'm going to get anything by myself.

I'll go with you then. Might as well.

Okay, good. We can work out a time during a down week! Going during an event would suck.

Even if it's just watching and learning, I just have to keep doing stuff to work towards this goal. If I seriously thought that everything here was a waste and there was no way to keep it? I'd go crazy!

YEAH.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT THEN I'M GOING TO HELP.

I just don't want to be that Vriska. Nothing against her, but her life doesn't sound that appealing.

YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD THING GOING HERE ANYWAY. IF I WERE YOU I'D PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING. TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO STAY I MEAN.

I'm even over wanting to stay. I want to leave, I just don't want to go back there.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'D BE A LOT HARDER THAN JUST STAYING HERE.

BUT IF IT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

I didn't say it wouldn't be hard. On top of finding a way off this planet, I'd be the only troll around. Talk about culture shock.

YEAH, BUT I THINK YOU'D DO OKAY. PROBABLY BETTER THAN THE REST OF US WOULD.

Because I can handle hard stuff? Because that's definitely a thing I can do.

YEAH.

PLUS YOU'RE GOING TO A HUMAN-HEAVY WORLD RIGHT? YOU AND HUMANS GET ALONG GREAT.

Sometimes I don't even get why that is. There's the whole tolerance thing, obviously! But you still think they'd prefer someone like Nepeta.

SOME HUMANS DO LIKE NEPETA.

BUT HUMANS ARE JUST WEIRD. DESPITE HOW SIMPLE THEIR WAY OF LIFE IS BY COMPARISON, THEY'RE A HELL OF A LOT HARDER TO READ.

AT LEAST TO ME.

I mean the ones who like me. You'd think they'd want to find someone more like them to hang out with instead.

What's so hard about them?

I DON'T KNOW. I JUST HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE WAY THEY THINK SOMETIMES.

I MEAN I'VE TRIED TO GAIN SOME INSIGHT ON IT WHILE I WAS FLOATING THROUGH THE METEOR, DON'T GET ME WRONG. BUT BEING HERE HAS SHOWN ME I'D PROBABLY HAVE ONE HELL OF A TIME TRYING TO LIVE IN A NORMAL HUMAN SOCIETY. IT'S NOT LIKE THE CONCEPTS THEMSELVES ARE HARD TO GET. IT'S JUST.

MAN.

HUMANS ARE REALLY WEIRD. WEIRDER THAN I THOUGHT.

THE WORST PART IS THAT WE'RE NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT EITHER.
