Mercy Manifested - [Ch. 01] Prologue
Life is Strange - Victoria Chase/Kate Marsh
VC SUCKS
Victoria Chase had been staring at the graffiti for the past five minutes. It was a common sight now, something to be plastered on any surface that could be scratched or marked. She had never figured out how it started or whether the “VC” had stood for the Vortex Club or for her, but she had come to learn that the two had become synonymous over the past few months.
Her hand reached up and a set of well-manicured fingers rubbed at her brow. The buzz of the fluorescent lights continued to echo off the tiles of the girl’s restroom right into her eardrums. This was the last stall that had not been marked yet with the slogan, but now it seemed like no one could use any restroom or vending machine without being reminded how much “VC SUCKS,” least of all her.
The door opened and the sound of two chattering girls entered. Victoria raised her feet and pressed them against the sides of the stall. She didn’t want anyone to know she was there. The last time she had gotten cornered had turned out to be a less than pleasant experience. Without the Vortex Club to back her up, it had become obvious that the former Queen of Blackwell was all bark and no bite.
“God, can you believe Mrs. Hoida? ‘Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that he is.’ What kinda crap is that?”
‘Great, another dumb blonde at Blackwell.’
“Yeah, it’s like, of course he’s the monster, he’s like made of dead people and junk.”
‘Scratch that, two dumb blondes.’
Victoria buried her face into her hands and let out a silent sigh. She had dealt with her fair share of idiots and morons – both in the art world and at school – but it never got any easier.
“Do you know who you’re going to the party with?”
“Not yet. I really wanna go with Zach, but fuckin’ Juliet scares the shit out of me.”
Victoria’s eye twitched at the mention of Zach and Juliet. She remembered leading Zach on like a sick puppy to mess with the would-be journalist. She didn’t really know why she had done it, but she had enjoyed it. It was funny to her how much power she used to wield and be able to exercise.
It was good.
While it lasted.
“Zach…didn’t he used to go out with Victoria?”
The other girl groaned. “Maybe I shouldn’t go with him then. Who knows what kinda shit he caught from her.”
“Oh em gee, have you seen her recently? She looks like someone runs over her dog every morning or something.”
A laugh. “I mean, that’s what she deserves, right? School’s been so much fucking nicer ever since that lame girl almost ate it off the roof.” A smack of the lips. The snap of a make-up palette closing. “Perfect. Just one more thing.”
VIctoria’s breath hitched. Had the girls figured her out? She braced herself steady against the stall doors, but the worst of it never came. Instead, shoes shuffled from one side of the bathroom to the other, only to end in one very self-satisfied sigh.
The first girl laughed. “You’re such a bitch.”
And the other girl basked in it. “And don’t you forget it.”
The two morons laughed at their own arrogance before exiting the room. Victoria didn’t allow herself to breathe until she heard the slam of the bathroom door closing. Even then, she waited before allowing her feet to fall to the floor before exiting the stall.
The mirror directly in front of her was clean, but ones to the left had the letters “V” and “C” on them. The three on the right spelled out “SUX.”
She didn’t even know who those girls were.

hey guys. ive realized that ive never promoted my terrible shitty fanfiction on here before so here we go.
its cowritten by my worst friend, @lesbian-jack-barnabas
to summarize it would be to describe a dream. this shit is entirely insane and self indulgent. we just kinda add whatever we're currently interested in into this melting pot, so if youd like to turn your brain off and succumb to the brain rot, feel free!!
this fic features a pride parade, bowling, the backrooms, superjail, great wolf lodge, target (the store), midsommar (soon!), and many more to come!!!
we even try to upload weekly :)

I hope this is okay to ask but are you still pals with other mods ever since or just with some? Or just still mutuals but don’t talk much? You don’t have to answer if you’re not comfortable with it!
well, it's been over a decade and relationships ebb and flow all the time and people change, or situations change. and you can't keep the exact same relationship with someone for that long i don't think. at least not in my experience.
so yeah i've had my positives and negatives with fellow mods. they've come and gone. some of them have stuck around, and others have moved on. it's just how it goes.
some of them i'm still on good terms with, we just don't keep up. others we're comfy-but-quiet mutuals. and others i'd say we're still friends, even good friends. and then there are the ones where it happened to go real sour, unfortunately. it's just a lot of different folks from a lot of different strokes of life and a bunch of things have happened. i feel like it's to be expected.

Rachel Amber Isn't Dead
And neither is this fanfic! The flashback section has been kicking my ass for months, but I've finally gotten through it. Chapter four of Rachel Amber Isn't Dead is (finally) live on Ao3!
And now that we're through the flashbacks, I can finally get back to writing Kate and stop writing Jeffershit and Nathan.
