There’s nothing wrong with being guarded, really, but you can be guarded and keep digging, just for you. Like imagine your big beautiful fence keeping out all that you want to keep out, but behind that in your yard, is the most gorgeous hole you’ve ever seen in your life that leads to the depths of you and maybe more. Then if you ever want to invite people in, you’ve got more to show them, and if you don’t want anyone to see, just keep them on the outside of the fence.

...I suppose that does make some amount of sense. I can’t make any promises or guarantees that I’ll actually keep digging more into myself as you suggest, but maybe. To your credit, you definitely have me considering it.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

Well, there’s always more reasons than reach the surface if you keep digging. Incidentally, digging is also how you make your vibes more personalized and vibe-y. It can be an intense process but it’s well worth it. At least, I think it is.

If you say so. Though I’m not sure how inclined I feel to keep digging. I’ve never personally believed it’s actually that bad of a thing for me to be guarded. I’d rather save any opening up for those that I can trust. I honestly think I prefer it that way.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

Do you know why you don’t open up easily? Sometimes the why is more important than the what.

A lot of it I’ve equated to just being my personality and the way I’ve always been. Though I’m sure things like growing up on the Isle helped contribute to that. That’s really the only reason I’ve ever come up with for it.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

Some things don’t need testing. Some things just are or aren’t! I find the concept of proof vastly overrated.

Certain things maybe. I don’t find that so true for myself. Especially given how self-aware I am of just how closed-off and guarded I can be. I know for a fact I’m not the type to open up easily.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

See, you’re not nearly as closed as you think you are, you can follow logic that’s not your own! Maybe you’re just ajar instead.

I think I might need more testing to confirm that theory for sure, but you might have a point.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

So expensive-minded and closed and hard-staying? That’s cool too! People like you and like me both exist to keep balance in the universe, otherwise it’d flop over to one side and no one would be able to stand up straight. You know what I mean?

Not quite, but you’re basically correct in saying closed instead of open. That does logically track, so I think I actually can follow your thinking there. I suppose we would balance each other out in theory, so maybe our ‘vibes’ wouldn’t be as off as I was thinking. Maybe.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

Thanks, it’s really easy to know myself, since I’ve been me for forever. Don’t feel bad for having a hard time with it. Imagination is hard for people who don’t exercise it much!

I wish I could deny that, but you’re right, imagination isn’t something I use a lot in my life. You seem very free-minded and open and easy-going and, admittedly, I feel like I’m practically on the exact opposite end of each of those qualities.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

The same way you grab hips, with consent and enthusiasm. It helps to get close to a person, both spiritually and physically, and once you do, their vibes are there and you just have to reach out and grab them. I don’t know what the term is, but that’s because I don’t think in terms of terms. I kind of just open my mind and my mouth and let whatever comes out come out; usually it wants to come out for a reason. If someone just like you existed and you two merged, you’d cancel each other out.

This is all much more spiritual than I’m used to handling, but I do at least support there being consent in that whole process. I can’t really relate to your lifestyle so I don’t really know what to say about all that, but I can at least respect you knowing what you’re about. There definitely would need to be some degree of difference. Still, if you truly got to know my ‘vibes’, I have a hard time imagining how mine would mesh with yours.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

The other way vibes are like hips is that they’re my favorite part of a person to grab. Everyone’s really different, though. No two people are the same, not even twins. We’re all our own individual mark in the universe; if you were waiting for an identical mark for a good vibe, you’d be waiting forever or even longer.

Grabbing hips, yes, but how exactly do you... grab someone’s vibes? Wow. That’s... quite a thought. Honestly, I’m not sure how to respond to that given how I’m not nearly as spiritual of a thinker. Or as... free-thinking? Is that the term? Still, despite that, I... actually think I can agree with that sentiment. It would be rather boring if my ideal partner were someone exactly like me.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

I don’t know, dare you? Or truth you? And yeah, the vibes would probably change if I got to know you, but that’s the cool part of it all. They constantly change and ebb and flow and it’s usually for the better.

Fine, I’ll ask just since I’m curious. What’s the other way that vibes are like hips exactly? I suppose that’s true. We are very different, though. Hence why I felt so surprised to see you list me to begin with.

[victoriacaine]

whereswaldohatter​:

You know yourself better than I do but the vibes, they do not lie. It’s one of the two ways that they’re like hips. Your vibes are sharp but in the cheddar way, and I’m a big cheese guy.

Dare I ask what the other way is? I’ve... never quite had someone describe me that way before, I’ll give you that. I have to wonder if these ‘vibes’ would change if you actually did get to know me better, though. But I’ll still take the compliment.

Top five hottest girls in Auradon?

I’m no expert, but if I had to throw some names out? These are the ones that are giving me good vibes atm.

honesty hour!

[victoriacaine]

...Really? Not that I’m against the compliment, but knowing myself, I wouldn’t exactly think that my ‘vibes’ would appeal to you.

[victoriacaine]

what's something you're insecure about?

I suppose, if I had to pick something, it'd be my lack of empathy. I personally have never believed I need a lot of friends to feel satisified with my life, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think that particular quality of mine is the leading cause for why that is.

TEXT 💬 RADTORIA

Teddy: Dude, if I have one more person ask me if I'm dating you because we hung out, I might actually scream.

Teddy: They don't ask that when I hang out with Zac.

Victoria: I truly don't understand why people are so fascinated by that sort of gossip. On top of that, I'm admittedly not even sure where that assumption comes from other than two attractive people spending time together.

Victoria: Ah, now I understand the frustration. It's clearly because Zac is the one you're actually dating and nobody is realizing it.

How do you feel about pedal taverns?

They’re... fine, I suppose? I’m sorry, am I meant to have a specific opinion on them?

Ask my character “How do you feel about ______?”

How do you feel about misspelled words?

As a perfectionist, it should come as no surprise that I can’t stand them. Unfortunately, as this is the modern world, I’ve had to get used to people not typing out full sentences in text messages.

Ask my character “How do you feel about ______?”

How do you feel about Le Fouxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?

Indifferent, mostly, with a dash of amusement that he seems so deadset on considering me a sort of rival to him. I suppose I understand why since my intelligence and drive is similar to his own, but if @lefouxdeux wants to clinch the valedictorian title he loves to brag about, he should focus his efforts on someone that is actually eligible to take it away from him.
