*On the meteor, everyone is staring into the open oven..... specifically, at the melted cutting board inside*
Karkat;*spraying water on the melted cutting board with a spray bottle* Gotta cool this bitch down.
Gamzee;*leaning against the counter, his hand over his face as he tries his hardest not to laugh*
Tavros: Gamzee...... What did you do??
Gamzee: I melted the mothafucking cutting board.......*laughs out loud* 🤣
Lisa:*recording this whole fiasco for her archives* Okay, so we're all trying to cook dinner, and this bloody twat apparently thought it was a good idea to put the only cutting board we had in the oven......
Karkat: GAMZEE! YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!
Gamzee;*laughing even more* xD
Karkat: We're trying to make chicken Alfredo right now, and you melted the fucking cutting board in the oven at 400 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT????????
*Gamzee just continues to laugh, while everyone else is giving the clown disapproving looks like "Goddammit Gamzee"*
Asking this for a possible medical skit involving Lisa that I might do, but let me know if you want to see any other types of medical issues with the characters addressed in the future, whether its a serious one or just a comical skit you want to see! XD
Which character do you think is the most dehydrated all the time/which character do you think probably drinks the least amount of water out of everyone on the meteor?
Sollux and Lisa: Resolve Your Past Differences and Become Pals
*It has been a few days ever since the start of the 3 year journey, with everyone on the meteor still adjusting to their new routines and the fact that they're all stuck here until those 3 years are up and they reach the next session. Despite recent events, almost everyone has attempted to be civil with one another to some extent for the sake of bettering team relations. Some relationships between the Trolls and humans ate just fine, while tension still remains between some of them....... 2 characters in particular who have a lot of tension between them are Sollux and Lisa, both of whom have argued for most of their interactions while Sollux acted as Lisa's patron Troll during Sburb*
Sollux:*sitting at the kitchen counter, sipping a drink from a glass. Due to the color, one might assume he's drinking apple juice, when in reality, he's actually drinking a glass of bourbon*
Lisa:*standing from a distance, carefully watching Sollux, a look of guilt in her eyes as she seems hesitant to approach him*.............
Rose: Lisa?
Lisa: ! *looks over to Rose* Oh..... Hey, Rose. Didn't realize you were there......
Rose: I've been standing here for about a minute when I noticed you staring at Sollux from a distance, as if you wanted to approach him, but felt too intimidated to. *looks to Sollux, then back to Lisa* He was your guide during the game, was he not? Just as Kanaya was for me?
Lisa:....... Yeah. He was....... heh...... *pauses*..... Thats..... where the problem lies........ Rose? What was yours and Kanaya's initial relationship when you both spoke online?
Rose; Me and Kanaya? Well...... *giggles* Believe it or not, what she thought was our "first conversation" was actually between her and John, when he got a hold of my laptop and decided to mess with her by pretending to be me.
Lisa: ????.... John did that? Really?
Rose: He did, that sneaky little shit...... Anyway, he managed to fool her so well that for a while, she thought I was an idiot, at least until we got closer and got to know each other a little better. All in all, I think Kanaya hit it off pretty well. She even tried discouraging me from my original plan to blow up The Green Sun. Why?..... Did it not go well with you and Sollux?
Lisa:...... No...... But frankly, that's my fault. I..... said some really mean things to him..... before and during the game.
Rose:....... Like what?
Lisa:.......... Mostly that I kept taunting him for what happened with him and Aradia, before I had any idea of what actually happened between them....... Vriska knew that I only believed them all to be humans that were just messing with us, so she tricked me into believing Sollux was a drug addict who took his drug fuled rage out on Aradia........ I...... well, I started off saying some cruel things to him, throwing accusations at him that couldn't have been any farther from the truth....... then he went quiet and just went offline....... then, well..... we couldn't seem to stop butting heads all through the game...... eventually, he told me he was an alien...... of course, I didn't believe him...... or...... No, it was that I didn't want to believe it...... *pauses*....... Long story short, i pushed him to show me his face during a video call. Heh...... things haven't exactly been the same after that..... Now we're all here, I'm surrounded by aliens I've spent the last few months ripping into every time they messaged me...... and Sollux is right there..... besides when I checked him for injuries after we all got here, I haven't really spoken to him since we landed on this meteor.......
Rose:..........*places a hand on her shoulder* Well, if you ask me? You should talk to him and sort things out sooner rather than later. A lot of our new friends already have tension between them from a variety of incidents that happened before we got here....... the longer you wait to clear the air with him, the worse it will be. And I really don't think we can afford to risk any irreparable damage between us or any of our teammates.
Lisa:...........*nods, sighing quietly to herself*....... You're right........ Sooner rather than later, you're right. *sighs, lightly gripping the cross on her necklace*........ Lord be with me if this goes south.......
*Lisa walks towards the kitchen counter to talk to Sollux, while Rose stays behind to watch from a distance, to make sure her friend has got this*
Lisa:.........*sits in the seat next to Sollux, not saying a word at first*.........
Sollux:*stays silent, not showing any indication that he noticed her presence or not as he takes a sip of his drink*
Lisa:............ Hey.
Sollux:*turns his head in her direction* Oh..... Hey, Lisa.
Lisa:.......... Hey...... *pauses*....... Is this a good time to talk?
Sollux:....... I'm not doing anything right now, am i?
Lisa: No..... guess not. *pauses*......... *sighs* Look, I'm not going to beat around the bush, Sollux....... I am SO sorry for how I treated you during the game......
Sollux:..........
Lisa: You only tried to help me...... You continued to help me when I initially refused it before we even started this godforsaken game....... even when I said all of those things to you..... and despite that, I continued to treat you like shite all through the actual game....... and for all of it, I'm really sorry.
Sollux:............
Lisa:.......... I get it if you don't forgive me, I do..... I just wanted to throw that out there and let you know that's how I felt--
Sollux: No. Lisa, look........ *pauses*....... Of all the humans in your session, you were the most difficult to talk to, I'm not gonna lie. You're just...... I don't know. Heh....... talking to you at times feels like I'm talking to Kk, but if he was an even bigger asshole.
Lisa;......*can't help the amused smirk on her face* You mean I'm actually worse than Karkat?
Sollux: Yeah. Honestly, you really are....... but..... look, all those things you said before?..... About me and Aradia, or when you thought I was lying about being what you would consider an alien? You didn't know, okay?....... Vriska really has a way of manipulating people into believing whatever bullshit comes out of her mouth, and.... well, I shouldn't have expected you to believe me about the whole alien thing at face value. But look, I'm not gonna apologize for the face reveal. *laughs a bit* Your face when you saw mine was too fucking priceless.
Lisa:*lets out a laugh too* Okay, I'll give you that....... *pauses*....... But..... regardless of how well Vriska persuaded me to believe her about the story she made up about you and Aradia....... I went too far with all the things I said. Calling you disgusting, accusing you of manipulating us to compensate for your supposed "drug problem"....... just overall being a fecking bitch to you over something I had no fecking idea about. It was all beyond wrong of me.......
Sollux: Like I said, you didn't know, Lisa. Just don't worry about it, okay? I'm not mad about it, I hold nothing against you. You were just a human that had no idea what you got yourself into........
Lisa:........ About..... well, you know...... the whole thing about me not believing you when you told me you were an alien? That you and the other Trolls created Earth? Before showing your face to me? *pauses*...... to be honest......... I think i was lying to myself.......
Sollux:........ What do you mean?
Lisa:........... *sighs* Look..... besides Gamzee's strange clown religion, and the whole Mother Alternia thing that Rosali has going on, I don't know anything about Alternian religions...... but...... I grew up all my life believing that one God, an all-knowing omnipotent being, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, created Earth..... I believed there was a Heaven and Hell, and that depending on what kind of life you lived, your soul would end up in either place after you die....... I lived my entire life by a set of rules with the belief that I would be judged for my actions by that very Holy Spirit, and that depending on what that Spirit decided, I would either be blessed with eternal peace in Heaven, or sent to an eternity of damnation in Hell...... my faith and beliefs already started to be shaken when the game started, and that meteor struck....... I knew it was Armageddon, but, it was nothing like what I was told Armageddon would be like......... *pauses*....... Then, to later be told that Earth was created by 13 teenage aliens who all went through the same ordeal as me and my friends? Heh...... Before you, some of the other Trolls did try to tell me, but I just didn't want to believe it....... because to admit that 13 mortal kids were the accidental creators of our world, would mean i had to admit that everything i believed in was a lie.........
Sollux:......... Yeah, well..... Considering i shook up your beliefs so much and how much they meant to you........ I owe you an apology, too.......
Lisa:..........*shakes her head* No..... You don't.
Sollux: ?????...... But...... You--
Lisa: Yes, it does turn out you and the other Trolls created Earth..... Yes, the exact God i believed in...... well..... that version of Him wasn't the God who made Earth........ But...... that doesn't mean my beliefs were a complete lie. All the people in the Bible stories I've read so many times? I know they still existed. Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Moses, Joseph, Mary..... and of course, I have to mention Jesus, too. *pauses*...... Obviously, I don't know how much of their stories were true..... But I know they were real, and i know they all played an important part in human history. But....... more importantly, whatever the truth is, I'm not going to let it change who i am as a person. To me, being Catholic always meant bringing goodwill to others who needed it, and helping them see that there is a way for them when all seems lost...... Back on Earth, the Church always preached to help those less fortunate, because Jesus did the same thing, and we needed to carry on his work through helping those as He would have........ I still believe in Him, and I'm still going to do what I can to help those as He would have........ but not because it's my duty as a Catholic, but because I want to help people. Heh..... If anything, Sollux, I should thank you for opening my eyes to the truth.
Sollux:....... The truth?
Lisa: Yeah..... *small smile* My whole life, I thought i was doing all the things I did for others because God wanted me to........ But....... After reflecting on everything...... I realized I really just want to help people........ Not just for Him, but for them.... and for me too........
Sollux:........ That's...... huh........*turns his head and looks ahead, a look of contemplation in his eyes*........ That's a good way of looking at it, yeah.........
Lisa:........*about to say something, when she catches a whiff of Sollux's drink, immediately looking to his glass, as worry fills her eyes*............ Hey....... You remember what I said to you back then? When you contacted me the night we started Sburb?
Sollux:............
Lisa: Romans 12:2; "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the reviewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will"
Sollux:.............. What the hell does that even mean?
Lisa:.......... I think..... It's better if you figure that out for yourself.
Sollux:...........
Lisa:....... Anyway...... *holds out her hand and gives him a small smile* Friends?
Sollux:............ I mean..... I don't have a reason to say no, do I? Sure..... *takes Lisa's hand into his own* Friends.
Lisa:*shakes hands for a moment, then pulls her hand back*....... I.... do want to ask..... it has been a few days since Aradia sent us off and stayed in the Dream Bubbles......... How are you fee--
Sollux: I don't want to talk about it. Okay? I...... really, really don't want to talk about Aradia right now....... Okay?
Lisa:.......*nods in understanding* Okay..... yeah..... whatever you prefer. *pauses*....... Hey...... you want to do something? Maybe watch a movie?.... Feferi could join us, if you'd like.
Sollux:....... Thanks, but...... I'm just gonna sit here and stare into nothingness, if you don't mind....... I have a lot on my mind right now......
Lisa: Oh..... Yeah, sure..... *pauses*..... Sollux? Thanks for all your help during Sburb...... One day, I promise I'll return the favor..... *pauses again, getting up from her seat*..... I'll..... see you around, then. *walks away, going back to Rose*
Sollux:........*says nothing, only staring into nothingness for a little longer as he sips from his drink once more*
A young woman with long, wavy red hair stands in her bedroom, on a calm, quiet night in Dublin, Ireland. It just so happens tonight, she is going to be playing a game with 4 good friends, all of whom live overseas. What is this young woman's name?
==> Enter Name
Your name is Lisa Abbott. As was previously established, you live in the capital city of your beautiful home country of Ireland. You live in a mansion in the city, a clear as day sign of your rather privileged lifestyle, all thanks to the successful medical/university career of your dear old da, whom you idolize. As was also previously established, you have plans to play a game tonight with your 4 good American friends, Dave, John, Rose and Jade...... Thats the thing though, about the fact your friends all live in a completely different timezone from you. While in America, and you can only presume Jade's island would be included in that spot of the world as well, it is currently 4:13 in the afternoon for your friends, you live 5 hours ahead of them, making it currently 9:13 late at night for you.........
Most days or nights, such a time difference can prove to be an inconvenience when you'd like more than anything to have all the time in the world to spend online with them, but, lucky for you, you're on holiday from your studies all this week....... Making tonight the perfect night to be up all night playing a game with your friends. What game would that be? Well, what else, but the BETA for the new and highly talked about Sburb? Luckily for you, you were able to place an order for the game and have a copy shipped all the way to Dublin, so, you're now all set to play, once you hear back from the others and get them to confirm that they're all ready to play. Until then, well, you'll simply just ponder about and have a look about your room, and all the items that point to your different interests.....
Lisa: Examine School Uniform
You approach your school uniform hanging on the doorknob of your closet; A dark green jumper, jacket, and a checkered skirt that reaches down to your knees. It just so happens that you're a student at a very prestigious prep school, one that will surely set you on a path to one of Ireland's best universities once you reach the age of 18, 5 years from now in 2014. You're one of the top students at this institution, as when you're not spending time with your online friends, you spend a good chunk of your time studying and keeping up your marks. Lets be clear here, you're not under any horrific pressure from your family to succeed, you simply just want to be the best that you can be at academics, and prove to your idiot peers at school that you're not some dumb bimbo relying on daddy's money to get by. Hell no, you've got Hella plans for your life..... even if you're not sure which career plan you want, per se; Your father has inspired quite an interest in medical studies for you, so on one hand, you'd like to be as good a doctor as him..... on the other hand, you also have a strong passion for the art of ballet dancing. Your mother was a famous ballerina in her days before you were born, by which she retired from the profession so she could focus on raising you and being there during your father's long and hectic hours at the university, so you also think maybe you could help continue her dream by being a ballerina as well?
Lisa: Open drawer and examine tutu and slippers.
You open one of your drawers to examine your ballet gear. Oh well, you have 5 years to decide which career is best for you. Doctor? Ballerina? It doesn't matter too much for now. Until that time comes, you'll just enjoy being a kid, as your mother always tells you to.
Lisa: Examine your secret photo hidden in your diary.
You look to the diary you keep on your nightstand, the one you write in almost every day. Times like this, you're beyond glad that your parents respect your privacy....... When they first got you your computer, they were already apprehensive for a while when you asked for a Pesterchum account. You can't blame them, of course, creeps are everywhere on the internet, and when they finally agreed to let you have said account, they were very firm when educating you on internet safety. Course..... that doesn't mean you didn't break a few rules, specifically sending a photo of yourself to someone you had only spoken to online..... and then having him send a photo back to you. If your parents knew of the dorky but oh so cool American boy who's photo you kept in your diary, they would lose their minds, probably even take away your internet privileges entirely.......
Lisa: Open diary and examine photo.
You open the diary and examine the photo inside...... Low and behold, who else is in there, but the love of your life? Only the most handsome boy you ever laid eyes on, that not even Ireland had to offer........ Who else, but Dave Strider? He was actually the first person you ever spoke to when you first got Pesterchum, and it was love at first chat.... for you, at least. You don't know if he feels the same, but a 13 year old girl can dream, can't she? Everything about him just gets your heart going every time you talk to him...... His humor, that mind of his, his sense of irony...... and his his oh, so cool self..... He's just so cool, cool, cool, others would be crazy not to see it!
Lisa: Examine jar of change.
You look to the huge glass jar of coins and euro bills that your father slips to you as an allowance about once a week. Money is certainly no issue for you or your family, but regardless, you refuse to spend this change on anything that isn't a necessity. You won't admit it out loud to your parents, because right now, you know they would have objections to you meeting someone you don't even know in person, but the thing about all that money in your jar is that you're saving it up for something really special 5 years from now; The moment you turn 18 and graduate highschool, before you go to college, you intend to fly to America to see your friends. You look forward to meeting John and Rose one day, you imagine they must be as fun in person as they are online. Same with Jade, if you can figure out where the bleeding hell her island is and try to get a plane ticket to that exact location. But Dave? He'll be the first person you go see when that happens....... If life at all is capable of being as glorious as the movies make it out to be, perhaps you and Dave will go on a few dates in his Texas hometown, maybe he'll show you around the place and let you see firsthand how different America is from Ireland...... Maybe...... Maybe you could even become boyfriend and girlfriend? God, you can only hope....... Maybe you'll sign up for a college in Texas instead of Ireland so you can be closer to Dave. Is that desperate? Clingy? God, you hope not, the last thing you want is to scare him off........ But..... he is the one. You just know it......
...... You look around for a moment, just to make absolutely certain that you're alone in your room. You are. Good. You don't want anyone to see this next part.... even so, you can't help but feel something as embarrassing as this needs the right music at least....... You look to your radio on your dresser, and then, making sure the volume isn't loud so as not to wake up your parents, you turn it on, playing the CD that was already inside. "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis begins to play.
Lisa: Kiss the photo of Dave.
You immediately begin to kiss the photo of your crush, as if you were kissing the real deal. As you kiss Photo Dave, you imagine both you and the real Dave reenacting a number of different romantic movie scenes; The rain scene from The Notebook, "I'm Flying, Jack!" from Titanic, the kiss scene in Sleeping Beauty, the boom box scene in Say Anything, ALL the greatest scenes in romance history! Its what you imagine romance must be like, so wonderful, so happy, a fairytale come true....... All what every girl must dream about. You most certainly do..... God, you wonder if your first kiss with Dave will be as mesmerizing as this.........
You hear a ping from your nearby computer, which immediately snaps you out of your silly makeout trance with your photo of Dave, and only then do you realize how ridiculous you must have looked just now........ As you ponder this, it is also here that you look up at a painting above your bed, given to you by your grandmother. A painting of Jesus Christ.
Oh, yeah..... You were so caught up in your crush on Dave that you forgot to mention another detail about yourself. You're very much Catholic. A devout follower of the religion, raised in it by your parents for as long as you can remember. You go to church with your family every Sunday, you pray every night before falling asleep, you do pretty much everything to prove that you're not only a good student, but a good follower of Christ as well. And here you were, shamelessly making out with a picture of a boy you met on the internet, before His very eyes........ but it's not a sin, right? Only an innocent kiss on a picture...... nothing in the Bible says you can't kiss pictures of your crush who lives overseas, miles and miles away from you, who probably doesn't even think about you like you always think about him........
Wait. What was that noise that startled you to begin with? Oh! Your computer, someone must be messaging you! You hurry and take your seat at your computer while Leona Lewis is still playing on your radio, checking to see who is contacting you. You really don't like to keep your friends waiting.
Oh! Speak of the handsome devil, its him! Play it cool, Lisa, play it cool like you always do.....
turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering celticBallerina [CB]
TG: Yo, Lisa
TG: You about ready to play the beta yet?
CB: Ready? Dave, I've been ready all day! I'm just sitting here waiting to hear from everyone else.
CB: I take it you're getting ready, too?
TG: Yeah, just waiting to hear from John. He's been waiting all day to get a hold of his copy, trying to be all stealth mode about it so his dad doesn't catch him and try to shove another cake in his face.
CB: Haha, oh, that John.
CB: He really must be anxious about it if he's that desperate. Honestly, who can say no to good cake??
TG: If your dad baked and hid as many cakes in your room as John's does, you'd probably know how he feels.
CB: Yeah, well, my da's not really the baker in my family. My ma is the master in all things related to culinary arts, ESPECIALLY baking. Heh, honestly, if John's da loves to bake as much as he does, i don't get why he doesn't just open his own bakery. He'd probably make a lot of money off of it.
TG: I dunno, man, that dude's just all about whatever boring business shit grown ups like to do.
CB: "Boring business shit"...... Pretty sure John told us both that his da is a doctor of some sort.
TG: Shit, you're right. What do they both do again?
CB: My da was a surgeon before he switched to teaching at the university he works at, and John's da is a gynecologist.
TG: Right.
TG:...........
TG: The fuck does a gynecologist do?
CB;..........
CB; I would tell you, but you're a boy, and my parents check most of my messages.
TG: Oh.
TG: K, message received.
TG: Hang on, isn't it really fucking late over in Ireland right now?
CB: Almost 9:30, not that late. Why?
TG: No reason. Normally I'd just expect you to be sleeping, or studying for some crazy fucking test you always seem to have going on at that fancy school of yours.
CB; Well, I'll have you know Dave, my school is actually on a 2 week spring break right now, so I've got all the time in the world until next Monday. Hey, even overachieving students like myself can take a break once in a while.
CB: Besides, I spent way too much of my allowance on that beta to be shipped here to not play Sburb with all of you. You Americans have no idea how lucky you have it to have easier access to the so-called "Game Of The Year". I'm probably the only kid in Ireland that even knows about it, thanks to you and the others talking about it so much!
TG: Dude
TG: Some of the puppets my bro spends money on will come all the way from fucking China or Japan. I don't even want to know how much, but I guarantee you, shipping probably costs almost an arm and a leg.
TG; At least you and your parents are really rich. Guess being a doctor pays a shitton over there.
CB: It pays well, yes, but also....... Well, you already know my family is overall well off to begin with.
CB: My da is already talking about us buying a vacation home somewhere in England when summer vacation starts for me.
TG: My point exactly
TG: Richie Richette.
CB: Screw you, Dave xD That's not even a good insult!
CB: Don't tell me.... Is your "bro" buying exclusive smuppets you can only get in Asia?
TG: Don't even fucking go there, Lisa.
CB: Oh good God, he is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
TG: 🖕🖕🖕
CB: 🤣🤣🤣 You love me, admit it
TG: Yeah, I do
TG: When you're not bringing up the one puppet brand I loathe more than anything
CB:.......... Rich Girl? Gwen Stefani? I'm going to kill you when we start this game 🤣🤣🤣
TG: Shit, speaking of the game
TG: You hear from any of those trolls recently?
CB: God
CB: When the fuck DON'T i hear from them? At least one of them messages me every fucking day, since my birthday!
CB: Even the fucking Adios one with the fucked up way of typing, even though I'm pretty sure I sent him off crying the first time he contacted me
TG: A lot of those guys have fucked up ways of typing.
CB: Yeah, you're not wrong there. I'm pretty sure most of them have something wrong with them, mentally speaking.
CB: I'm still convinced that there's a chance they might be traffickers.
TG: Not that I have proof they aren't, but why do you always go that route when we talk about them? Seems a little extreme
CB: Yeah, well, blame my parents who constantly read news articles about child predators and the kids they go after, because they've been fucking terrified of the possibility of me running into one since they let me have Pesterchum.
CB: Honestly, they mean well, they've made sure I'm always alert about this stuff, but......
CB: Well, they're still my parents. They're always going to worry about me.
TG: Fair enough, but
TG: I'm pretty sure these guys are the same age as us
CB: Maybe, but you can never be too careful online.
CB: Why are you asking about them?
TG: Okay, so get this
TG: Last week, John actually got a message from a 13th Troll. Someone in the friend group who i can only guess is a quiet observer, who decided out of nowhere to contact him.
TG: At first, he thinks maybe she might be a normal, cool person, right? Well, that hope gets shot down real quick when she starts going on about mother earth, witches, burning plants to heal sick people.... all the hippie shit you can think of
TG: Things apparently got really weird though when the troll decided to give John a tarot reading, over a web chat.........
TG: Know anything about Tarot, Lisa?
CB:.................
CB: Not exactly. I know it can tell the future, but..... I don't mess with any of that New Age Wicca stuff. As far as my whole family is concerned, doing so would just be like asking for the devil to come to your front doorstep.
CB: This 13th troll already sounds like someone that everyone at my church would probably throw stones at.........
TG: Yeah, well, here's where it gets weird.....
TG: Out of nowhere, she tells John not to mess with Sburb for some reason, but then she went offline real abruptly after that.
TG: John hasn't heard from her since, and none of us have talked to her either
TG: John said she went by LunarOracle or something
TG: Girl really likes her moons
CB:................ Why would someone claiming to dabble in witchcraft tell John not to play a game?
TG: Don't worry about it, okay? They're trolls, pretty sure they're all fucking with us at the end of the day
CB: This is the first troll I've heard of that experiments with things my family would consider demonic........
TG: Yeah, well..... she's probably just trying to scare us. You know how trolls are.
TG: Shit, speaking of trolls, I gotta go
TG: One of them is trying to message me now
CB: God, which one is it this time?
TG: Its GC, probably the only cool one among them. I'll hit you up later, okay? John should hopefully have a hold of his copy soon.
CB: Sure thing! I'll be on alert if he, Rose or Jade's message me. Let me know if Little Miss LeetSpeak tries anything weird, got it?
TG: She probably just wants to trade art again, or something.
CB: Yeah? Hm.....
TG: ?
CB: Nothing, just..... Well, I've been getting better at my own art lately. Maybe we could trade art now and then too?
TG: For real? Shit yeah, it'd be fucking dope to finally see what the great Lisa Abbott can create with that prep school mind of hers.
CB: Great! Hey, I have a really good teacher, one who's actually had his pieces featured in galleries.
CB: Maybe..... we could start tomorrow?
TG: Sure thing, but I really gotta go now, GC is spamming the fuck out of me. Talk to you later, okay?
Well, you suppose that settles it for now. While your crush has gone on to see what the leet speaker wants, you suppose you'll check up on your other friends to pass the time. You're sure John is busy celebrating his birthday with his father and trying to get his Sburb copy, so you won't bother him for now. Maybe you'll see what Rose and Jade are up to-- Oh! It seems you have another message coming in. Who could it be this time?
..... Oh. This moody twat. The one who types in 2s for some unknown reason. God, why can't these trolls just type like normal? What does this guy want anyway? Oh well, you definitely don't have the patience for trolls tonight, especially not after hearing of their demonic friend from Dave. Then again, you have been known to be rather ruthless when talking to these chumps...... in fact, just last week, you paid a visit to your cousin and got to see firsthand his colorful vocabulary skills when he plays first person shooter lobby games with his own internet pals......... maybe you could put that to good use? It could prove to be a good warmup for tonight's gaming session...... Oh, this is going to be good. This twat will definitely regret reaching out to you.
But first, you remember Leona Lewis is still playing on your radio. In the span of you embarrassingly kissing Dave's photo, and then talking to him, "Bleeding Love" had soon switched to what was now currently playing, "Better In Time". You love Leona Lewis, but this is certainly no music for emotionally destroying a troll who may or may not have displayed signs of severe depression.
Lisa: Examine CD collection
You step away from your computer to examine your vast CD collection, the one frivolous thing you actually have spent some of your allowance money on over the years, and carefully consider which artist would be best suited for the emotional scarring you intend to inflict on that twat.
Oh. Oh...... Oh, this one is just PERFECT! Yes! What better album to pick than "Life" by Dope, known for its vulgar but amazingly heavy tune "Die Motherfucker Die". Despite your very religious upbringing, your parents don't mind you listening to this type of music, which is a very lucky thing for you tonight....
Lisa: Switch CDs.
You begin to switch out dear Leona Lewis for Dope, and as you play the CD, you make sure again that the music isn't too loud that it would wake your parents, but also just right to set the mood you're going for. "Take Your Best Shot" begins to play.
........ Yes. This is perfect.............. Now. Let the emotional ruination begin.
Lisa: Answer Moody Twat

CB: Mate..... its a fucking computer game. We don't know what kind of computer game, but its a harmless fucking computer game!
CB: And you're here trying to convince me that its some sort of fucking death game, like that Hunger Games book that came out last year.
CB: Are you really that shy and pathetic that instead of just asking Iike a normal person if you can play with us, you try to peg me for an idiot and try to take on the role of an all knowing guide?
CB: Wow....... Of course, you would try and manipulate a 13 year old girl like that, wouldn't you? Did you pull this same shit with Rose and Jade too, you gobshite?
TA: No! Look, ii am telling you, none of you know what you're gettiing iin2!

CB: "First hand"?
CB: Don't tell me.......
CB: You have inside information about the game because you're some leech working for the company behind Sburb, who is only there to leak information to the public.
CB: And I'm the one you chose to trick into spilling your secrets on the internet, so that if that backfires, it falls on me and not you, right?
CB: Fuck you! I'm not risking my fucking future just because you hold some sort of grudge against Sburb's developers!
TA: OH MY FUCKIING GOD
TA: WIILL YOU JU2T FUCKIING LII2TEN TO ME??
CB: Listen to a troll who's trying to trick an impressionable teen girl? No thank you, I don't even know why I haven't blocked you or your friends at this point!
CB: Oh...... Wait, I know why. Because I like playing mind games back at you, like you all do to me and my friends.
CB: You know, I actually learned quite a bit from you lot over the last few months, all from little details you all spilled about each other.
CB: How's that girlfriend you seriously injured a long time ago?
TA:.......................
TA: what
TA: the
TA: fuck
TA: did you 2ay?
CB: Oh, AG told me the whole thing. You apparently got high on something, and in your drug fueled rage, you injured AA, your now ex-girlfriend, right?
CB: Now she's seeing that freak CT, of all people, apparently.
CB: How does it feel being a fucking junkie who fucked up your relationship, and now to compensate, you're trying to manipulate kids on the internet?
TA: 2HUT UP
TA: just
TA: 2hut up, okay??
TA: You don't know anythiing
TA: AG told you?
TA: HER?????????
TA: 2he's the la2t per2on who 2hould be sayiing anythiing about what happened!
CB: Normally I wouldn't trust any of you fucking trolls with my life
CB: But AG told me what a serious fucking situation that was
CB: Told me she wishes she had done more to protect AA
CB: To help you get your fucking problems under control
CB: But man, drugs really have a way of fucking up your sense of what matters to you, don't they?
CB: And here we are now........
CB: You're fucking disgusting, you know that?
CB: Why aren't you getting actual help? Trying to atone for the trauma you caused her?
TA:....................
CB:................
CB: sigh
CB: Okay....... maybe that was all harsh of me.
CB: I go to church with people who have done a lot to help addicts, I should know better. Sorry.
CB:.................
CB: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the reviewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will"
CB: Romans 12:2.
CB: Just..... something to consider. There are better options, you know.
CB:.............
CB: Are you still there?
CB: Hello?
twinsArmageddons [TA] has ceased trolling CelticBallerina [C]
You sit there and ponder for a moment........... You realize maybe you went too far in your attempt to emotionally destroy him. What AG had told you was information you had learned very recently..... and now, as you reflect some of what TA said, you wonder if you really should have taken her word for it. You hate to admit this, but you actually get along with AG quite better than you do those other trolls...... and it's likely you may have let that cloud your judgment and really hurt someone who is struggling. Dammit..... and all you had to offer was a Bible quote that probably means nothing to him. You'll give the guy time before you try to message him and offer a proper apology, but you really need a moment to reflect on this while your friends keep you waiting still....... Maybe you could message Rose and talk to her about this, she's always good for venting problems to. You hate to admit this, but not even confessing at church is as comforting as talking to Rose. You just feel she holds far less judgment compared to the priests you confess to on a weekly basis. Yes. You'll do that, but first...... You really could use some forgiveness right now.....
You fold your hands together and close your eyes in prayer, asking Him for forgiveness for your cruel words towards TA. You promise you'll atone, you only ask to be forgiven for the things you said........ As you finish praying, you open your eyes and turn your chair around, staring up at your portrait of Him, feeling as He stares down at you....... Whenever you feel as though you sinned, and in this case, your sin was not loving thy neighbor, you can't help but seek comfort in that painting. You really feel as though He is looking down to you with eyes full of love and understanding.......... Most Catholics you know simply just want to get into Heaven when they die. You? You just want to leave this world knowing you were a good person.
.......... Shit. This music was a terrible choice, especially at almost 10 in the evening. Why the hell is it taking John so long to obtain his Sburb copy? Oh well, you'll just change your music again.
Lisa: Change your music again
You turn off Dope, and once again examine the contents of your CD collection. You soon find your favorite album, the debuting, self titled album of your favorite band, Flyleaf. You heard these guys are supposed to release another album in November, and you hope their 2nd album is as good as this one is. You switch out the Dope CD and once more put in this CD before turning it on. As you do, you skip through most of the songs until you find what you were looking for, that being the acoustic version of "All Around Me".
As you play the song, you decide to lay on your bed a moment, just to contemplate things as you listen...... you lay on your fluffy, cozy pink comforter, the sound of Lacey Sturm's vocals and the soft guitar sounds filling your room, and simply stare at the ceiling...... a lot goes through your mind. School, the girls you see there, church, your family, your online friends, who you feel are your only real friends....... you think about Dave, of course, wondering what he would think of you if he read your chat logs with so many of those trolls and saw how brutal you were with them........ To be honest, his friendship with GC is the only reason why you never said anything hostile towards her. Okay, there are a few trolls you've been chill towards...... AA, AC, TC, CC...... You actually do like them, to be honest. AC is probably the most fun out of all of them with her role playing and shipping shenanigans. Then, once again, you think about TA....... you think about what he said, all that stuff about Sburb.... being some kind of life changing experience? You know its a load of bullshit....... but..... regardless, it leaves you with a feeling...... a really not so good feeling........
Lisa: Peek out of bedroom and check on ma and da
You turn off your music for a moment and open your door, carefully tiptoeing to your parents' slightly open bedroom door. You peek in, and just as you hoped, ma and da are both still asleep, cuddled together in their bed in each other's arms....... Your parents always did prefer to go to sleep relatively early. What really has your attention, though, is how in love your parents have always been, all these years later........ They met when your father attended one of your mother's ballet shows, and they ran into each other shortly after the performance. It hadn't even been a year yet before your father eventually pulled out a ring and asked your mother for her hand in marriage...... You want more than anything to have a love story as beautiful as theirs, preferably with Dave. You swear, your parents must have known each other in a past life, which transcended beyond all known universes before they found themselves here and now. As if both their souls were a part of 2 other beings destined for a similarity beautiful love story.
Not even the most romantic fictional love stories could match up to what Eric and Rosalina Abbott have with one another.
..... More importantly though, you feel a sense of relief that they're both just safe and sound. Why were you even worried about that? Oh... right...... because TA freaked you the hell out. That damn troll........ you really should block most of those trolls.
Satisfied, you return to your room and close your door again, letting out a tired sigh.... this is already turning out to be a long night. Maybe you should go to sleep now and just play the game with everyone tomorrow--
Oh! Wait, someone else has messaged you. Please don't be another troll, please not another troll.......
ectoBiologist [EB] has begun pestering CelticBallerina [CB]
EB: Hey, Lisa! I just messaged the others, but I finally got a hold of the game! Did you install your copy yet?
You smile in relief, feeling the night already getting better........ All your peers in your homeland can say what they will about Americans, but these particular Americans are the best friends you'll ever have. Beyond happy to finally be playing with them, you sit down, and message John back......
......... If only you had known of the events that would transpire the minute you all began playing. If only you had listened to TA......... if only John had listened to that witch..........
I was just thinking how I've never left any hints on Lisa's appearance in the Shadowblood AU, nor have I ever shown what she looks like, so xD For those that were wondering, here she is! The feisty, Irish Queen herself, The Sylph Of Mind, Lisa Abbott!
Lisa:*setting up her camera to record, sitting in front of it as it turns on*...... Day 7. It has officially been 1 week since we started this 3 year journey after finding the Green Sun and meeting all the Trolls...... despite some tensions between some of this team, all seems well otherwise..... Rations are surpsingly high for 3 years stuck on this rock, which i guess explains Rosali being so quick to make so many feasts for everyone every night....... but rations can only last so long when one of your teammates likes to cook as much as Rosali does....... Hopefully it doesn't come to this any time soon, but should rations get too low, that means the strongest amongst those surviving will have to feed off of the weak who would only slow us down.... Therefore, if it comes to such a drastic conclusion, i have made the decision that at that point, we will all cook and eat Tavros. I've thought about this a lot, and you know....... If Tavros meat were the secret ingredient on Iron Chef, I'm sure Bobby Flay would probably serve it with roasted red peppers, a dash of cumin..... it wouldn't be an easy thing to do, but, if you slow roast the little twat, I'm sure Tavros meat would just dall right off the bone.......
Tavros;*pokes his head in, hearing Lisa murmur seemingly to herself* Hey, uh.... Who are you talking to, Lisa?
Lisa: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *turns off the camera and looks to Tavros* Oh, no one, just.... talking to myself!
Tavros; Uh...... Okay. Well, come on, Rosali made breakfast ^v^ You don't want yours to get cold! *leaves the room and hurries off to the kitchen*
Lisa:............ I wonder just what Troll meat tastes like?.......
*Lisa and Sollux are talking on Trollian/Pesterchum, Sollux having been helping Lisa all throughout the game, just as Vriska has done for John, Kanaya for Rose, Terezi for Dave, and Tavros for Jade*
CB:.......... Let me get this straight. You and the other trolls are actually an alien race called Trolls, and all 13 of you created Earth and our species after your session of this hellish game?
TA: ye2. Exactly what ii have a feeliing the other2 you've 2poken two have triied two tell you.
CB:............ Okay. Fuck you. I know you're all fucking with me.
TA: 2ERIIOU2LY??????
CB: Look, I was raised in a certain belief system, and that belief states not only that aliens are completely fake, but also that there's no chance in Hell that the Earth was created by 13 aliens.
CB: God made Earth, and by all 5 of us choosing to take part in this game, we all spat in His face by destroying all the gifts He gave us, so right now, us trying to survive and beat Sburb is our collective punishment for the millions of lived we killed as a result.
CB: So, naturally, we'll all do what we must to beat this game, repent, and whatever happens afterwards, maybe God will forgive all of us for our sin.
TA: oh my god
TA: you are 2eriiou2ly wor2e than LO
TA: that crazy chiick actually think2 crystal2 and burning 2age2 wiill cure 2omeone from any po22iible 2ickne22, but you know what? At lea2t 2he triie2 to lii2ten to other2! You're actually wor2e than her!
CB: Oh god, you mean the Pagan? The one who claims she's a witch? Yeah, John told me about her. But fuck you! At least I know Who's watching us!
TA: do you now???
TA: ii mean, you beliieve iin 2toriies about talking 2erpent bea2t2 who triicked the fiir2t of your iidiiot 2peciie2 to eat forbiiden fruiit that gave them 2uppo2edly every problem you all faced untiil now, not to mentiion magic human male2 who 2omehow come back from the dead after beiing brutally executed on a cro22
TA: But you won't beliieve iin the po22iibiiliity that you're talkiing two an aliien thii2 very 2econd!
CB: Earth was 4000 years old, and could only be the product of intelligent design! Believe me, hardly you or any of your friends come off as intelligent! Maybe that GA person that Rose has been talking to, or AA, but thats it!
CB: Oh..... I forget, didn't you and AA have a little thing at one point?
TA: YOU 2HUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THAT
CB: Ha! I'll just leave it at this and tell you no matter how much you try to mess with my head, nothing you say or do can change my faith that God made Heaven and Earth, and created all of us in His own image!
TA:......... Hii2 own iimage? Okay.
twinsArmageddons [TA] has requested a video call with CelticBallerina [CB]
Lisa: ??????.......... *suspicious, she clicks the "accept" button*
*As soon as she clicks accept, Sollux's face fills her screen, the metal grey background of the computer room seen behind him*
Sollux: How do you fucking explain ME then???????
Lisa:*eyes widen in pure shock at the Grey creature with horns and different colored eyes on her screen, realizing this is TA*..................
*Sollux watches on the screen as Lisa faints, causing her to log off from their chat, the video call ending*
Sollux:....................... Shit. Should I have done that?
Aradia:.......... Probably not. But she'll be fine.
