I don't think Vriska Serket has access to the community anymore. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Have you found out anything?

[embersandashes]

Do you know her?

[makewayforroze]

I don't. I think I just know why you're asking. It's hard, to lose people from here.

[embersandashes]

I don't need to commiserate, I just need to know the answer to my question.

[makewayforroze]

I don't know her, I don't have an answer.

[embersandashes]

I didn't think so.

[makewayforroze]

I did want to offer you a chance to talk.

[embersandashes]

I'll pass. I barely know you.

[makewayforroze]

You can get to know me. That is how people become friends.

[embersandashes]

You want me to get to know you solely so I can talk about something with you, when I can already talk about it with others?

[makewayforroze]

There are other reasons to get to know me.

But if you're talking about it with others, that's good, too.

[embersandashes]

Do you know Kasumi Tendou?

[makewayforroze]

I do. She's a very nice person.

[embersandashes]

You two are exactly alike.

[makewayforroze]

I think there are a lot of reason to know her, too.

[She laughs a bit.]

She's much more kind than I am but I'll take that as a compliment.

[embersandashes]

I do know her. I've known her for a while.

[makewayforroze]

Then I may not be so bad to get to know, after all.

[embersandashes]

I never said you would be, did I?

[makewayforroze]

Then you'll give it a chance?

[embersandashes]

I'm not going to talk about this now.

[makewayforroze]

[So much for the distraction.]

Then I'll just say I'm sorry if your friend is gone.

[embersandashes]

All right.

[material_guy]

Lost a friend, eh?

[embersandashes]

Yes.

[material_guy]

Guess it's nothing too new. You've been around a while.

Lucky for you, I'm still here.

[embersandashes]

I'm not in the mood, Greed.

[material_guy]

She the only one from her world?

[embersandashes]

On last count, there were at least four more. Their world's time moves extremely strangely, though. Months and months can pass for us without a single day passing for them.

[material_guy]

Then her going missing for a few days or weeks could just be her goin' to the bathroom, couldn't it?

[embersandashes]

It's been far longer than a few days or weeks. I haven't heard from her in months.

[material_guy]

Nnn... And with all the people who're in the same place with her, no one's sent her here to tell you she's still around... Guess that answers that, eh?

[embersandashes]

I suppose so, yes. I was expecting this.

[material_guy]

Sometimes they still remember the place when they ain't around. She's got people from her world here you can ask.

[embersandashes]

Yes, that's true. I plan to ask.

[material_guy]

Any idea if people've tried visiting people who ain't on here no more if their world's still open 'cause of other people?

[embersandashes]

Yes, that's happened, and I've considered the possibility.
