[dicey]

It's not really a timeline at all. Not a game one, anyway.

[audio]

[fireflyheir]

Okay, so… more like a different set of events? And then it just split off completely.

[this looks like the right way- wait no wrong turn ugh hold on]

[audio]

[dicey]

I guess. That sounds kind of right, anyway.

[once she gets there, she'll just wait]

[audio -> action]

[fireflyheir]

Cool.

[and then he focuses his attention on getting there, which… still means he gets there a bit after her. At least he doesn't need to spend much time actually looking.]

Vriska! [waving as he approaches] You didn't wait too long, right?

[audio -> action]

[dicey]

[she shrugs]

I wasn't waiting waiting. I was looking through the Guide, in case there was anything that needed my immediate attention! I'm a popular girl.

[no]

[action]

[fireflyheir]

Something more important than catching up? [He affects a hurt look, which only lasts a few moments before he snorts and grins, settling next to her.] Do you know a lot of people here?

[action]

[dicey]

[she shrugs]

I guess. Do you know a lot of people here?

[action]

[fireflyheir]

[his turn to shrug] Some! It's pretty big, I haven't met everyone yet- that'd probably take a while anyway, heh! And I guess maybe there're people who know me from… the other me who was here? It's weird.

[action] I'M SORRY I could have sworn I'd replied to this

[dicey]

It's totally weird. There was another me here before, too! I've never had that happen before.

it's okay!

[fireflyheir]

Yeah. It doesn't seem like it should be that likely! But if there's a universe that explores every possibility… [he shrugs again.]

[dicey]

God! Can you imagine? And infinite number of uses around, doing an infinite number of things.

[fireflyheir]

It's a lot of options! [he laughs, nudges her with an elbow.] I think one's pretty much enough for me right now.

[dicey]

[she nudges him back]

Yeah, I want to be the only me around. This ship is too awesome to contain more than one.

[fireflyheir]

Haha, yeah, I think you might be right! Is there something that's the most awesome, or is it all at a pretty equal level?

[dicey]

You mean something that's the most awesome about me?

[fireflyheir]

Weeell… I was thinking more what you find most awesome about the ship, but sure!

[dicey]

Oh, uh, I guess the pool's pretty awesome. And the shops.

As for me, everything about me is awesome. Duh.

[fireflyheir]

Yeah, the pool is definitely cool! You saw the dolphins, right? The shops, huh? [he grins at her]

Oh, of course. How could I have thought anything different, really? [nudging her again]

[dicey]

of course I've seen the dolphins! I've been here for aaaaaaaages.

[not really, but it has been many months]

And you just need practice with the other thing. Some people realize it quickly, some don't!

[fireflyheir]

Heh! Have you swum with them, too? [obviously this is the cool thing to do.]

It can only improve with time!

[dicey]

Nah. I'd rather swim alone.

[fireflyheir]

Oh. Well, I guess that gives you more time to focus on improving your stroke.

[dicey]

I don't really care about that. I just don't want to have to deal with bumping into dolphin noses!

[fireflyheir]

That doesn't sound too great. But… would they really like it so much themselves?

[dicey]

Good point. Maybe they'd be avoiding me.

[fireflyheir]

Possibly! You won't know without trying. [he grins, leaning back] Soooo… what do you think?
