Hi.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Hello, Vriska. How have you been?

[audio]

[dicey]

Hanna and I broke up a few days ago.

Temporarily.

In theory.

I moved out of the house.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

[Oh crap.]

...temporarily? What happened?

Do you need a place to stay?

[audio]

[dicey]

No; I was staying by myself in my hideout but then Pitch came and got me.

[yup, she let the guy who killed her a month ago take her home; THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM RYOJI]

A whole huge mess happened and I don't know if I want to talk about it.

[even though she... contacted him]

[Vriska is literally confused about everything right now]

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Got you, as in... invited you to stay over at his place?

[Because that can be interpreted in a lot of ways... And well, Ryoji can actually understand that last part, so he's not intending to push it.]

Would you like to hang out by the lake with me for a bit?

[audio]

[dicey]

Uh-huh.

[paaaause]

The lake's right next to the house.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

[Ah.]

How about the other side of the lake, then?

I'm afraid I can't really leave this place for the time being...

[audio]

[dicey]

I don't really feel like talking anyway.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

We don't need to talk if you don't want to.

A friend of mine told me once that real friends should be able to sit together in silence without either of them feeling uncomfortable with it.

[audio]

[dicey]

Does it count if it's over the PCD?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

I would think so.

[audio]

[dicey]

Okay. We can do that.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Alright.

[So Ryoji goes ahead and leaves his PCD on without saying anything more.]

[audio]

[dicey]

[she's quiet for a few minutes before talking again]

I haven't gone outside in days. Is that pathetic?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

[There's no awkwardness on his part, and he takes it there's none on Vriska's, either.]

Of course not. Everyone has a different way to cope with things... and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just something that means a lot to you, otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to deal with.

[audio]

[dicey]

I'm under a bunch of pillows and I haven't come out for, like, three hours. That's pretty pathetic.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

If anything, it's cute.

Now I can't help but wish I was there so that I could start a pillow fight with you.

[audio]

[dicey]

We would so get murdered.

I'm in too serious a mood for that stuff, anyway.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

...Murdered?

[So fierce, Vriska. Well then, Ryoji might try changing the topic completely.]

Do you have some kind of favorite when it comes to food?

[audio]

[dicey]

Uh, junk food, I guess. But you can't get that here.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Yeah, that might be a little tricky...

Maybe your second favorite, then?

[audio]

[dicey]

Meat?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

That's something possible to get around here, at least.

Would you let me invite you over for dinner? ...Or I could bring it over to you, whichever option you'd prefer.

[audio]

[dicey]

I don't think you'd be allowed to come over.
