-eah, okay, except I didn't really understand what you're tryi-

[ He paused and scowled, tapping on the mirror awkwardly. ]

Uh, hello? ... Wait, it's over already?

[ How rude. He had a few questions that required some serious answers. Okay, truth to be told he wasn't really paying attention, and in his defense, it may have to do with sharing an epic mind/body experience with a certain spider troll a few minutes ago. I swear to god, he can still hear her thoughts ringing in his head. He tries to ignore it for now. ]

... Okay.

I'm not entirely sure if anyone is listening, but here goes. Um, I'm looking for Vriska. [ Another pause, and then hesitantly. ] ... Vriska? Can you hear me? If you do, I'd really appreciate it if you, uh, say something?

[ He placed the mirror down, as if he's done talking, but he quickly picks it up again. ]

Oh! And ... I guess it would be nice if someone could explain things to me. Maybe?

Thanks.

[ Priorities. Tavros has them. ]

[...this is very obviously not her Tavros. Nepeta has to admit it's a little disheartening, but he's still technically her friend. time to be cheerful and help out!]

I haven't seen any Vriskas around the city yet! But there are always new people showing up, so that doesn't mean she'll never come.

[which is a nice thought. with people filtering in all the time there's always the chance that maybe someday someone she full recognizes will appear]

There's not really that much to explain about this place, though; we're stuck here beclaws the city needs help, and if we do enough they'll send us back. It's pretty simple.

[ Oh hey. It worked! Someone has answered. ]

Well, um, thanks for getting back to me! Though, I don't really understand what kind of 'help' they require from us? I doubt I can be helpful if I don't, uh, know what kind of trouble they're in. You know?

[she laughs a little] Yeah, it's kind of vague to start with. But there's a kind of quest board in the city that you can use to find jobs that need doing, and a little while ago we had to help fight off an attack. I think you just learn what's going on as you go around here.

Then I'll make sure to find that quest board and get myself a job! I'm still a little confused, but there are a lot of familiar faces around here, so it shouldn't be so bad!

Thanks, uh- [ awkward pause. ] sorry, I didn't catch your name ...

Nepeta. [the smile and amusement in her voice is evident] My name is Nepeta.

[Ah, it is Rufioh's ~~less sexier~~ alternate, if he is not mistaken. Vriska? Hmm, which one was that again. The name does ring a bell, though he can't quite place it. It's not like he was Aranea who knew everything about-- oh, that is right.]

Vriska... would she be another Serket by any chance?

[ You are mistaken greatly!!! They are equally attractiv- ok, no you're right.

Tavros recognized him as a fellow Zahhak, and that is all he managed to gather, for the time being. ]

Yes, yes. Another Serket! Have you seen her around?

[Learn to wear your butt with pride and it will be as attractive!]

I'm afraid I have not. I suspect she is not present.

[ He will .... consider your advice ???? ]

... Oh. Well, that kinda sucks, but I appreciate you getting back to me! Haha, I was a little worried that I won't find anyone in here.

You needn't be concerned about that. Several players of your session are present along with several of your ancestors. Yours too, I believe. You are Rufioh's alternate after all, aren't you?

[Like he even needs to ask with the horns and all.]

That's right. [ You see his big, toothy smile? It's called confidence! ]

Oh, is he here as well? That would be really amazing!

[Let him return that smile with another big toothy smile, that is how happy, peaceful and confident gentlemen talk, right?

Also, baww.]

I'm afraid he is not. Though hopefully he will arrive soon too.

[ Right! Except ... he's a little disappointed now, so it eased down into a casual smile. ]

Awh, bro. I'm sorry about that. You two are kinda close, yeah?

[Aww, look at him! It's a smaller version of Summoner. Di has always had a soft spot for lowerbloods, and he's greeted with a warm smile from the adult troll over the mirror.]

Hello! I'm sorry but I don't think I've seen anyone by that name here. But if you have any specific questions I'll do my best to answer them!

[ He noticed the resemblance and immediately remembered his good friend Nepeta. He returns the warm smile with one of his own. ]

Hi!

Okay, I guess my first question is, what do I need to do, to leave this place? [ wow, you just made it here! ]

Well, they've never said specifically. They seem to want our help so I guess we've all been assuming that if we carry out enough quests for them then perhaps they'll send us back if we want to leave.

Yeah, I've been told that I need to get a job. So there is no other or easier way, huh?

Not that we've discovered so far, I'm afraid. But it's quite a nice place here, really! Much nicer than Alternia.

[Not the Tavros he knows, but nonetheless he feels compelled to at least make an attempt here. The video is of Dave sitting on a pile of black and lavender blankets, paint tubes and paint brushes scattered around him.]

Hello, Tavros. As to my knowledge there's no variation of Vriska here as of yet but it may be a matter of time before she shows up. Until then, I'd be more than happy to help answer anything you may be wondering.

Hey, Dave. [ There is something different about him. Hmm, might be the new shades? Not sure. ]

Well, I've been told that I'm here to offer some, uh, assistance to the city? But, I'm not entirely sure what I need to do to accomplish that, and to get back to the dream bubble.

[Questions even he hasn't quite figured out the answers to yet, but that doesn't mean he can't give his opinion at the least.]

There's requests that are always put up by the citizens, I believe by doing those you'll benefit yourself and the city. Other than that the best you can do is find something you enjoy doing here and go with that until you've done enough to be allowed out.

Uh, sure. What do you want to know?

Oh, Hello!

[ This time it's a human lady. He smiled. ]

Wow, I'm getting a lot of help so far. It's great! Uh, I guess you can tell me how you managed to settle in this weird city?

'I guess I'm finally getting used to the trolls if they're starting to seem more like, well, people, than somebody who might stab me in my sleep.'

It's kind of hard when I'm still settling. I've never been on my own like this before and, uh, I guess the best thing to do is try to get a job and meet people? Make some friends so it isn't quite so lonely?

If Vriska's that troll you were standin with that I was about to come meet before this place stole me, she ain't here. No Serkets here whatsoebber.

Yeah, I know. But, uh, they said she might show up in any minute!

She might but I wouldn't hold your breath. Just as likely you'll get landed with some glubber you don't reelly wanna be around instead.

Oh and FYI, there's anotter you here who's purple. Have fun with that.

[ Haha, what. ]

... Wow. Now, you're just messing with me.

Nope. Wish I could say I was because trust me, purple Nitram's a pantrip I coulda done without.

Why would you say that? Is he that bad to be around with?

Nah...he's actually a lot more tolerabubble than any other purple I've met. Well, save one maybe. But that's what makes it so weird, you know?

wwHOA,

uH,
hELLO,

uH, hEEYY,
yEAH YOU'RE, tHE OTHER ME,
i THINK,
tAVVROS,
bUT NOT PURPLE,
wELL, uH, nO POINT IN BEING AWWKWWARD, hEH,
lET ME TAKE THIS OPERCHTUNATY TO GREET YOU INTO THIS PLAICE PROPERLY,
gREETINGS,
}:)

Never heard of her, and I'll let everyone else do the explaining thing, [she says carelessly, no other opening than that.]

So what's up with you? Are you some creepy Tavros double? You sound like him.
