Worm Full-Cast Production - Arc 3: Agitation
kalacyn for Missy Biron / Vista
Vista is 13 years old at the story's beginning, and 15 at the end. She's strong-willed and confident, constantly annoyed by people who view her as being less capable or emotionally mature just because she's young, particularly since she has a very strong power. Throughout the story she develops a fatalistic personality.
[Commiserating about how much everything has sucked recently.]
“I miss the old Dennis. The guy who picked a sorta rude codename and announced himself in front of the news so Piggy and the other people in charge couldn’t really make him change it. Because it was funny. Because he liked pushing the limits and because he saw this all as something fun. The new Dennis is so angry. Now I guess I get why.” (9.3)
[Someone else is giving her a hard time over crying about several friends and loved ones dying.]
“You’re the only one who doesn’t have any friends on the team, you keep yourself at a distance, you talk only with your friend or friends from your civilian life. Even there, you’re always in trouble. Getting suspended, picking fights. It’s like you want to break your probation and go to some juvenile detention facility for the next few years.” (9.5)
[Speaking with a therapist, one that she's confident can't understand what she's had to go through. Don't include narration.]
“The other part of me? The colder part that’s being very logical, very rational? It says that won’t happen. We won’t stay together. Can’t. One by one, horrible things will happen to us. My friends will die, and if they’re lucky, they’ll die fighting. And I’m somehow okay with it. What does it really matter when the world’s supposed to end in two years?”
“That part of me, that feels like that? It’s telling me I’m going to die. It’s inevitable, it’s soon, and it’ll be horrible,” Vista said. “Therapy that.” (18.z, Donation Interlude #3)
