[It’s been a long time since she’s addressed the community. While she’s always sounded annoyed, now there’s a heartache behind the anger. An exhaustion, a defeat.]

Back in the desert we got this story that gets told to every greenie that shows up in the sand. That it don’t matter if you went and got dusted ‘cause your shadow still lives on. [A shaky, sharp breath.] Killjoys never die.

But in this place, it ain’t true. The desert doesn’t believe in death but here there’s no life to begin with. Light’s out is just light’s out. [The anger in her voice picks up, deep and visceral.] All this place gives is empty promise after empty promise, dangles lil’ shiny pieces of hopin’ right in your face then laughs it away again. Just makes everythin’ you were ever told one damn cruel joke.

[There’s a few moments of nothing of but heavy breathing and snotty snuffles before she starts again, voice forcibly more calm.]

So why don’t all you rat kings and thrill seekers and wannabe white suits give me a new story worth believin' in?

im distressed cause this place keeps fucking us over. has nothing to do with what i believed back home besides if you aint part of the desert how do you know it aint true?

[My, what language. And yet children are uncouth, and everyone knows this.]

Acceptance of lies as a foundation of our collective worlds preempts disappointment. It is the nature of things.

[She talks like the men who raised her, a side effect of teenage parents stuck in a permanent rebellious phase. It's why she's cursing at the screen even as she types. It makes her feel a little better, honestly.]

what do you think you know about nature and disappointment huh?

More than you do I am sure, if one simple untruth is enough to reduce you to tears.

you dont even know what the hell im talking about. who even says im crying about it?

I assumed the sniffling in your broadcast was that of a pathetic child crying for help. I see now that it must have been allergies.

who you trying to call pathetic? you trying to start something with me then just say so

You called for help.

One should exercise caution when crying into the darkness, for fear of what demons they may wake.

i called for a story. aint the same thing what the hell you going on about demons

But certainly the two overlap. Wouldn't you agree?

Demons are quite common in this reality, it seems.

Greetings.

no.

[Yes, actually. But she's here to argue.]

yeah right. name one. youre probably just some alien trying to be funny. aint seen a demon around here yet

And yet I cannot imagine the Devil looked much like a devil either. Some stories claim that Lucifer was quite beautiful to look at.

[As if. They already know what they are - disgusting. Reprehensible. Red eyes, chin-length hair, a smile too wide and insincere to be considered natural.]

are you bringing up all that old time religion nonsense? who even believes that stuff anymore? devil aint out there motorgoblin people are a much bigger thing to be worried about then some horned up thing crawling up from hell

I was putting forth an example in the interest of comparisons.

I had assumed you had enough brain cells at your disposal to surmise as much. Evidently I was mistaken.

How unfortunate.

then make it more obvious next time dont be a dick jackass

[No one ever claimed that Girl had an diplomacy skills]

[A diplomat she is not, it is true. Perhaps Frisk ought to teach her a few pointers. Or perhaps not, if she is determined to be unpleasant at every turn.]

It is hardly my fault if you require written instructions from one tangent to the next.

totally your fault it you cant make it clear

[Stubborn, stubborn child.]

whyd you even bother to answer if you just wanted to make fun

[Why did they answer? There is a simple enough response to that one. Something succinct and easy. Take up the script and play the part.]

I just wanted to see you suffer.

got a big fucking hole where your heart supposed to be nothing but a white suit soul

Rumors of the existence of a SOUL, where I am concerned, have been greatly exaggerated.

just as well. those bastards had their souls sucked out long ago guess youre the same. get your kicks out watching people burn

Of course.

What else is a demon to do?

[They...must really have a sick sense of humor, do they not?]

least you know what you are

[But of that, there was never any doubt.]

Of course I do.

The question remains, however - do you?

a killjoy always knows who they are

[Except she's not so sure anymore. What's a Killjoy without the crew?]
