[Since the castle changed everyone back from being on the pirate ship, Kanaya parrot has been sleeping in her garden on the castle grounds (it's all looking great, thanks for asking). Why? Because it's warm, and on the warm summer nights in Paradisa she doesn't have a thing to fear! It's a far cry from the wilderness of Alternia.

That was all fine, at least until Kanaya suddenly changed from being a light, small parrot to being a larger and rather heavier troll perched in a bush. The journal conveniently sheltered beneath the branches picks up crunching and a startled, displeased cry.]

Oh, really?! Honestly, if this shrub has come to any harm...!

[Annoyed, and rather unusually flustered, when it comes to one of her plants being harmed... and then rustling noises as she picks up the journal, dusting some stray specks of dirt off the pages, and sighs.]

But of course. There really is no possibility of escaping these while we're here, is there?

I seem to have missed various proceedings again. My apologies to my fellows and any others who might have wished to speak to me.

[Karkat]

Are you all right? I heard all of those explosions.

[Vriska]

Who went home?

Kanaya... forever

[Well... maybe.]

Told you guys he wasn't shit to worry about.

:.........)

[Spidertroll needs a mom that isn't spidermom 8(]

He informed me that my advances against him before were a lucky fluke. I regret not having the opportunity to show him the error in that conclusion.

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

[But! But...]

Yeah, that would have been great to watch! Wouldn't need to back you up or anything!

[unironically.livejournal.com]

[But, but?]

Containing our enemies would prove to be a problem here no matter the conclusion to an altercation, though. What would we do with him, afterward?

I suppose I could have cut his legs off at the knee, and we could have prevented Equius from constructing prosthetics for him somehow. That would have mitigated the danger he presented to at least some degree. But how unfortunate to have to turn thoughts like that on a former friend...

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

[Yep, never telling you anything!]

Oh, sure! That sounds all sweet when you say it, but if I suggest or perform such a feat, it's wrong!

[Tch...]

Not that it makes it any less of an appealing idea or anything! But man, you sure have been gaining some sharp edges, Kanaya! What's the deal? This place getting to you?

[unironically.livejournal.com]

I'm simply not sure how or where we should bound or ministrations to increase the security of our situation here. The other residents would undoubtedly find such practices disturbing as well, don't you agree? Not to mention our human friends - I would be loathe that they distance themselves from us due to apparent barbaric practices from friends who had formerly seemed more relatable. Wouldn't you agree?

But I digress, somewhat. Recall if you will that I relieved Tavros of his legs as well. Gamzee would not be so very different, at least in theory, though of course the act would not be directed to his ultimate benefit but to our own.

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

All I'm getting from that are hints that I should go all out with the transgressions that I continue to get shit for if it means that most of us will get hurt. And that you will be okay with it, even if others aren't.

[You digress, alright. It takes every ounce of Vriska's strength not to say that much.]

That and you really want an excuse to fire up the chainsaw again.

[unironically.livejournal.com]

Vriska, it is not the same. Gamzee is a definite threat, and I would not necessarily face him without reinforcements. I suppose alternately we could force him onto sorpor again, and restore him to his old self - if the castle will provide us with the means.

Attacking Gamzee is not like attacking Tavros.

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

It's not like slime is hard to come by! Don't forget, we sure got fucked up when "good" Gamzee was still around!

Anyway, you sure are being careful about all these threats looming over your heads, Kanaya! Which reminds me, what about Eridan, huh? Why wasn't anyone this insane over him when he was around?

[Ugh. You just had to bring that up. There is a glare and a faint growl at the journal when she hears this, but Vriska is keeping her cool.]

And what about me, then? Clearly, I am a loose cannon that is just as volatile! Ain't that right?

[unironically.livejournal.com]

Why don't you explain why you moved against Tavros in your own words?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

Why does it even matter? It's not like I'm after his blood here!

[unironically.livejournal.com]

It seems to matter to you to be judged a loose canon and a danger to the group. Why are you so hostile at a chance to express yourself otherwise?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

Again, I'm finding it real hard to understand why it's going to matter whether or not I tell you my deepest, darkest secrets. What is that supposed to change? Really.

[unironically.livejournal.com]

Your reasons for attacking Tavros are now deep, dark secrets? Really?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

[Ugh!]

Stop taking everything so literally! Either that, or step away from the oncoming condescension. Like that's really going to make me share.

[unironically.livejournal.com]

Why did you do it, Vriska?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

You know damn well why I'd give that wiggler a good smacking around!

[But then again, the impaling... Sure is avoiding spilling the beans here!]

[unironically.livejournal.com]

I have reason to believe that it may have gone farther than mere fisticuffs.

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah! It's not like he didn't know what was in store for him, after all!

[unironically.livejournal.com]

His death, then?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

It was his own damn fault!

[unironically.livejournal.com]

[So it is true.]

Vriska, why?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

Why not? He was the dumbass who challenged me!

[unironically.livejournal.com]

So you killed him? Was that really necessary?

/goes to bed, sob ;;

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

[There's a low growl, and Vriska's seething.]

What's done is done, okay? It's like I said, the wiggler's not in any immediate danger from the ravenous spiderbitch here, so you might as well just lay off already!
