VRISKA: Hey, John.
VRISKA: Could it be that you're aware Jane is visiting this dream bubble at the same time?
VRISKA: I've been watching it.
JOHN: -..-.
VRISKA: I've been talking to some of the denizens of this dream bubble a little more recently.
VRISKA: They seem to be getting more talkative lately.
JOHN: more than you?
VRISKA: I don't know.
VRISKA: Mostly.
VRISKA: The conversations with my denizens tend to drift toward the dramatic, so when I'm around they tend to amplify those events greatly.
VRISKA: I try to stay out of them. I don't think I need to remind you, since it's been so long.
VRISKA: In fact, I've been doing so.
JOHN: ok. fair enough.
VRISKA: When it comes down to it, I'm just one of the many heroes who've been appointed to witness the following events unfold.
