...But that's why it didn't work. ...Even though we made the park alive, it's still corrupted. And everything else that happened still happened, and he didn't do anything nice after that.
...He said sorry, but that was it...
[Ahhh. But that aside.] ....You did?

[ She grimaces for a moment, then gives a brief sigh and gets back to her point. ]
When I first got here, and you talked about the Fourth, you made Him sound like a pretty cool guy. And you're buddies with Him, right? Buuuut... ever since I got here, it sure does seem like anytime He does anything it screws over a bunch of people! Not just foggies, I get they're the other team, but just--aaaaall of the neutrals too? I was getting pur-rity annoyed about it! Cause it seems like His angle is He's supposedly your friend, but then He goes and acts like a bulge? Only He's apologized now, sooooo... [ She knows about being the asshole friend whose apologies no one will accept. ]
I was hoping maaaybe things were... more complicated than they looked from the outside.

...After we had the dreams, that was when he got more power to fight her, right? ...and then the conduits had to happen because both of them were trying to get something, so they could be stronger than the other...
...After that, this happened, so...
...I don't think he meant to act like it-he meant what he said when he said sorry, [she insists, nodding to cement that thought.] ....but...
...I think he tried too hard.
..because he promised everyone that he'd make being a monster stop. That he'd get rid of the fog, and get rid of people eating...
...You were okay in the Park when you first came back, right..? ...And humans felt okay too, as long as they didn't go near those other things. ...There were other things happening I guess, [she admits-that whole 'you can't lie there' and 'it's harder to refuse any order' was still in place after all.]
...But mostly, I think he just kept trying, and trying, and wanted it to work.
....but it kept getting worse instead.
...Does that make sense? [...Well, at the very least it's a little similar to another story...]
no subject
...Yeah. It makes a lot of sense.
[ She goes quiet for a bit longer. ]
...I don't know how to fix that--shit like that. I finally just... gave up and left.
no subject
...I guess the park wasn't really little, but... ...that didn't make everyone happy either. ...But...
...when I talked to Rin, he said it would be better to try helping other nymphs with places they liked, so I'm trying to do that now, and... [...And she's getting off topic. The point is!]
...The Fourth can't make everyone happy right now. ...But he doesn't have the power to do everything he wants to do for them, right now either. ...But if he wants to really fix things...
...I think the best way to start-for anyone to start-would be to start with the things we know we can all do to help make things better.
no subject
Like what?
I get some of the big problems, buuut we just went over how nothing can be done about those, not right now at least--can't fix the hunger, can't undo the transformation shit (not that I'd want that, but... whatever, I know it bothers some people)--and I have no idea what the "little" problems would even be.
What needs fixing that we can actually fix???
no subject
...What kinds of small things bugged you before?
...Just small things that didn't seem important for everyone else.

[ Vriska has to think about this one pretty hard. She kinda likes this place? This is exactly why she asked you, Reira! Her own list of complaints is almost nonexistent.
Almost. She does manage to come up with a handful of petty gripes after several minutes' worth of consideration. ]
I guess my tail was annoying before I got used to it. It's still inconvenient sometimes--the way it has a mind of its own and all, you know? It gets in the way. Not real often anymore, buuuut as long as we're focusing on petty complaints...
...How much people here whine about shit? When it's stupid shit anyway.
[ She thinks a bit more. ]
Most of my complaints were just "the Fourth keeps screwing over neutrals", but He just apologized and that's all I'd ask for, soooo... Also not sure that counts as a "small thing". ...Yeah, that's not a me-thing, that shit ticked off a ton of people. So that's off the table here.
[ THINKING! There's gotta be something... ]
...Not knowing for sure if somebody's actually gone or if they just haven't crossed paths with you recently? That's kind of annoying.
no subject
...But maybe if we find ways for people to feel better about those things, that will be better. I like being a kelpie a lot...and others like being monsters too!
So we just have to find how to help others like it, then. Or to make other things nicer, like the weather...
[That. Is also not small.]
Um... ...I think that the Fog Priest has the obelisk stuff though...
