[Video] || May 20th 2010

[The damn device phases in and out a couple of times, much to Mindfang's dismay. Once her face comes on screen, it can be seen that her wavy raven hair is being tamed by a rather lame looking sun hat. At least that would keep the blistering heat off her face]

I am assuming many of you have already heard too much contrite babble to be bothered with questions that have been asked hundreds of times. For that reason I will save my breath sating my curiosity toward the obvious.

[Momentarily she fiddles with the device, shifting down an alley way that has much more shade. Fuck the sun. ]

I will, however, ask where the hell can I get my hands on a decent wardrobe for this dreadful climate? I seem to be without my sylladex for whatever reason.

[She scowls, still unable to find any relief from the 94 degree weather. Ugh. Just ugh.]

I cannot bring myself to believe that anyone tortures themselves by voluntarily living in this barren wasteland.[Slight pause]

Are there any familiar faces out there?

[Please for the love of all that is sanity, do not let a Redglare be the one to answer this message]

Though, one obvious question does plague my think pan and I'm afraid I shall have to ask it anyway; what is a Meister and how the hell could I possibly have some type of ability?

And how do I go about finding out just what that ability is?

[They just keep showing up, though this definitely isn't a bad thing. However it does pose a bit of a problem.]

Normally you'd be able to go to the mall and get some free necessities due to being a guest, but lately the citizens haven't been all that cooperative. I'm aware trolls aren't used to daylight, so if you would like I could spare enough for you to buy yourself a decent outfit, in exchange for a sample of your blood. It's blue, correct? Judging by your appearance that is, along with your similarities to two other trolls I've seen here.

[She seems much less annoying than Aranea, for that he's pleased. As an after thought almost, he sends her this file since people seem to have forgotten he wrote it especially for new comers.]

My name is Dr. Franken Stein, a professor up at Shibusen, and currently the resident scientist researching trolls to see what can be done to make your stay here more comfortable. However, I've just sent you a file that I've written up especially for new guests that should answer most of your questions. If there's anything else, feel free to ask.

[Sorry, Stein, you're stuck with a horde of angry trolls who constantly try to kill each other. Have fun. For a moment she's just staring into the video feed. Is that a screw through his head or is everyone here batshit crazy?]

That's how I got this hat, albeit the lady seemed friendly beside wanting to shove me into any piece of clothing she could find.

[She cringes. That awful purple dress that the lady tried to stuff her in. . .terrible memories of grandma prints. The little device pings when the file shows up, the camera shifts around briefly while she clicks to save]

For the file I give thanks but don't you think a women deserves a drink before you ask for her blood, Dr. Stein? [A smirk appears on her blue lips] Tell you what; I'll answer all the questions you may have or simply give you my blood for three outfits and a drink. I think that's fair.

[You're bartering with a pirate. She'll swindle you out of house and home.]

[ so that's where you are. You were mentioned in Karkat's journal.

Well, she doesn't like you, but she kind of likes you more than she likes Aranea. And at least this isn't some lowblood with revolutionary ideals about the hemospectrum ]

betch yo ass there are

[Should she be flattered the Condescension is addressing her directly, or completely frightened?]

Ah, the Empress herself. I trust you're doing well? Or should I say no so, since I've yet to see your name plastered anywhere.

[Maybe you'll like her less than Aranea. She isn't that interested in the hemospectrum but she sure as hell knows how to disrespect authority.]

[He lives with Condesce. He's already been swindled out of house and home.]

Fine. I've got two reliable sources for any questions I may have, so that's unnecessary. A drink and three outfits for a pint of blood seems like a fair deal. If it's any consolation, your blood donation will assist me in my efforts to make a more effective sopor substitute for you and the rest of the trolls here in Death City.

mothafuck yo so outta yo depth
n ma names around aight you just dont know shit
cuz you kinda been dead fo sweeps

[ Success! She really needs out of this dress anyway. It doesn't do well to wear something like it when the wind is kicking up constantly. ]

Ah, so that's what you need my blood for. And here I thought you were just creepy. [She chuckles] Pleasure doing business with you then. The name's Spinneret Mindfang, by the way. There is just one more thing. . .

[She smiles sheepishly into the camera. Well, she kinda has not idea where she is.]

You will have to find me. I'm afraid. . .I'm a bit. . .lost.

I had to explain this to Karkat earlier, the little brat, I'm alive. Unless this is some twisted version of hell, I'm pretty sure I've 8een alive for nearly one hundred and fifty sweeps.

[Good luck convincing her she's dead.]

Oh my cod why.

[Aranea is never gonna shut the hell up.]

[He looks bored, almost contemplative for a moment, and he takes the time to twist the screw in his head to gain a better focus. A slow creaking sound, but he doesn't seem pained or bothered by it. It clicks, and he lets out a sigh.]

It can't be helped. It's a pleasure to meet you Spinneret. Do you know if you're near the mall, the apartments or Shibusen?

Who the fuck are you?

then ya met matesprit of yo short life
ya gots hooked like sum dumbfish
and he ghetto smashes yo ass
then i krill the fucka

Oh my fuckin' cod don't tell me I get to be the sucka who explains timelines and shit to you.

[Though it looks like she does. Oh. Goodie.]

I'm the Condesce from anotter timeline I guess. Only awesome and way less bugfuck crazy, yo.

[And then to rub it in a little, she adds-]

There's anotter version of you around too, Serket.

[Instead of answering, she turns the camera out toward the surroundings. Shibusen is pretty close. The nearest shops to where she is are the Cabaret Host Club and the Danse Macabre. After letting him get a good look at what's there, she turns the mirror back.]

Does that help? I just wandered out of what looked like a shopping district.

[What the hell? Seriously?]

You've got to 8e kidding me. That sounds stupid. Why would I matesprit with someone who's going to cull me?

Edited 2013-04-18 00:18 (UTC)

There's two of me? I suddenly feel very crowded.

[She sighs, rubbing the bridge of her nose in frustration]

Okay so you're the Condesce. . .and the real Condesce is also here. So. . .I'm guessing we've all been taken from different timelines?

[Don't worry, she'll catch on to this whole thing eventually.]

[A place he knows well, having to go there on multiple occasions to collect Spirit when necessary in the past. Much more helpful than just a rough estimation.]

You're in the Red Light District. Thanks to my partner, I know my way around there fairly well so I'll be there shortly. Have you been to the Casualty Communal yet?

[No, on second thought she'd like to stay exactly where she is. Bring on the ladies. Her and Spirit would get along well.]

Sounds like one hell of a partner. No, I haven't. I ditched some kid a while ago near that place because he was annoying the hell out of me. I decided it might be safer to explore than try to resist culling insolent wrigglers.

Edited 2013-04-18 00:24 (UTC)

Yeah, kinda. Don't worry tho, my Serket's pretty harmless.

[Mostly. Mouthy as hell though.]

More like alternate universes. But moray or less, yeah. Ain't reely important 'how' though, just that it's fuckin' happenin'.

I've made this clear to one already and I was hoping I wouldn't have to repeat the message but I will anyway. There will be no culling here, under any circumstances. Attempts to do such and I'll have to take action myself, but I'm hoping I won't have that problem with you.

[He's already got one to watch out for, he doesn't need a second. Condy takes up far too much of his time and effort as is.]

You'll find a free apartment at the Casualty Communal so after we're finished with our business I'll take you there.

[Speaking of business, he'd have to take her back to his lab for a sample which brings up another problem.]

I would appreciate it if you don't take any bait the Condesce gives you for antagonizing. Don't make her angry and don't give her a reason to want to kill you. We'll have to go back to my lab for the blood sample extraction and she's living there with me, so it would be troublesome to have to keep you two separated if you anger her. Karkat's done enough damage for one day.

[Somehow she isn't sure of this given the fact that Mindfang is a pirate and she's is more than harmful to anyone gets on her bad side]

Alternate universes. . .So does that mean that since you are the Condesce in some other place, that this is also true for this other Serket?

She is also me?

[Shit, she should take some notes. This is going to get complicated real quick.]

Fine. I've no interest in pointless bloodshed anyway.

[Well, unless it could benefit her in someway. Wait a minute. He lives with Her Imperious Condescension and he isn't dead yet? She isn't going to bother explaining why that is probably the most unhealthy living situation one could ever put themselves in. I mean, this guy has a screw through his head. There's no reasoning. She sighs, and rolls her eyes.]

She want to kill me regardless of what I do. She's the fucking Empress. In case you people on this planet haven't noticed, she does what she wants. But I'll be on my best behavior if only for the fact that we both have something the other wants.

[Yes Stein, give her ALL OF YOUR MONEY. ALL OF IT.]

[You troll women are going to be the death of him. Or at least the death of his wallet.]

The only ones I have issues keeping her from are Meenah and the Signless, and now perhaps Karkat as well since he saw fit to threaten her. Other than that she behaves herself for the most part so long as she's not needlessly provoked. She can do what she wants so long as it doesn't involve harming others, I've already been over this with her and she's been doing rather well with that recently, so I'd appreciate it if our progress wasn't taken back a few steps because of you new arrivals. However, I don't think I'll have that problem with you since you seem rather sensible enough, and due to your blood status she's more likely to prefer having you around than your counterpart so you get a pass on that.

[Which is a subject he can agree with, though he assumes it's because of the different situations in which they lived, it makes all the difference after all.]

Attending the morning training sessions would provide a more hands on approach to discovering what exactly your Meister ability is.

[ ;w; But you love us!]

It doesn't surprise me, honestly. Putting more than one Condesce in the same room isn't smart to begin with.

[She isn't really in a position to disagree with any of this. If he has said they have made progress she can only hope that doesn't mean she'll be culled immediately upon arrival to said lab. At least she gets to buy clothes first from a man she doesn't know. What a way to go out. At least she'll look pretty.]

At least someone recognizes blood status around here. I was starting to think this place had no sense of class. [She scoffs] How long until you find me, then? I don't wish to be in the sun for much longer.
