My headmate’s larp character stole my riding crop.

I still prefer him to the old one.

[the-black-castle]

So, this led to the question of "are you sure you wouldn't like to try larping as yourself at some point?" (and to an answer best summarised as "fuck no"), which in turn led to wondering what Arvid-as-player-character-in-Impact would be like... Oh.

Oh. Dear. 

Well that is an unpleasant realisation.

VRISKA: Proceed in a str8 line shaped like a perpetually shifting torus knot until you feel a sense of despair transcending all mortal comprehension, then hang a right at the next octopus?

Notable Utterances, Vid, September

You don't have a borderline personality. You borderline-have a personality.

You have instead-of traumatic stress disorder: literally nothing bad has ever happened to you, but you're still fucking crazy.

Stop worrying that nobody likes you. Of course nobody likes you!

I bet there's a really big spider under the fridge. There. Overeating problem fixed!

Stop quoting me out of context to make me look bad. I live in your body: I already look fucking hideous!

[the-black-castle]

V: You'll attempt to play that over my cold dead body

Z: ... a coffin would fit perfectly into the wasted space under the harpsichord! Why did I never think of that?

V: ...

Notable utterances, Vid, August

If he didn't want to be quoted without context he wouldn't keep saying such quotable things.

"A first violinist is a walking ego with wonderful hands. You want sympathy, try the fucking woodwinds."

"People who serve tea like this meet bad ends in dark alleys. I'm just sayin."

"An orchestra is a lot like an army: you have no choice about listening to the brass, and that's unfortunate."

"You give personality disorders a bad name, you borderline-literate gelatinous mass of embarrassing failings!"

"You've literally forgotten what I said in the time it took to walk over here to write it down! And you wonder why I complain that you don't fucking listen to me!"

[the-black-castle]

I know I'd thought of this before, but I'm really struck by just how much Vid looks like Zib from Lackadaisy. See?? Uncanny resemblance! I mean, he's a little more pointy-eared-and-ginger than that, but then, so is Zib!

[the-black-castle]

Apparently this would work better if I could 1) remember anything cool either of us have said ever, 2) manage to post without cutting off half of what Vid says...
