You know, ever since I arrived here, I had a feeling that I was headed for gr8ness.
So it m8kes me very happy to find out that my memories support this!
I'm not just headed for gr8ness. It's my destiny.
In other words, guess who has the 8est ancestry ever?
Here's a hint.
I do.
It's me.
I have some 8ig shoes to fill, so I'd 8etter get 8usy.

Being born into a family doesn't mean you're destined for greatness.

[all_onis_are_true]

As self-satisfied as always, I see.

[hatefriendleader]

ANCESTORS ARE FAKE, DUMBASS.

[82the8th]

Oh, that? You're pro8a8ly misunderstanding.
We don't have your 8izarre human 'families'.

[82the8th]

And why shouldn't I 8e?
I was right a8out two huge things in a row!

[number_one_dime]

Don't go relyin' on the fortune of others - ye'd nevar get anywhere like that!

[blue_flames]

You're missing my point. That doesn't matter.

[all_onis_are_true]

And as we all know, being right about two things automatically makes you better than everybody else. Astounding. Your ego is a sight to behold, you know that?

[82the8th]

Spoken like a troll with a shitty ancestor.

[82the8th]

Oh, no, that's just why I'm in a gr8 mood!
The reason I'm 8etter than everyone else is completely different.

[82the8th]

Like you know anything a8out my situ8tion.

[82the8th]

You think you understand what I'm talking a8out, 8ut you don't.
And I forgive you for that! There's no w8y a human would know how this works.
Ruling over others is in my very real destiny and my very literal 8lood.

[all_onis_are_true]

Uh huh. That ego's going to get you killed some day, you know.

[blue_flames]

No. I know how it works. That's how kingdoms and empires are ruled, by being a descendant of the rulers. That's also how the exact people who shouldn't have power get it.

[82the8th]

Ugh, you still don't get it!
Trolls aren't "descended" from other trolls. It doesn't work that w8y.
All trolls are cre8ted 8y the same mother gru8.
8ut sometimes, from the slurry comes a com8ination of all the strongest str8ins of genetic material........
and cre8tes someone like me.
A 8lue8lood.
We live longer lives, and h8ve gr8er powers at our disposal.
That is exactly the kind of people who should have power!
People who already have it.

[82the8th]

Ego is only d8ngerous if you don't have anything to 8ack itup.

[number_one_dime]

I can tell arrogance, when I see it lass.

[He scoffs in the way only an old Scotsduck can]

[all_onis_are_true]

And what's your backup, exactly? Looks like a toothpick from my perspective.

[82the8th]

There's a difference 8etween arrogance and actual, factual superiority.

[number_one_dime]

Put yer money where ye bill is and prove it then, lassie.

[mokomanjuu]

Really? Mokona wants to hear more!

[82the8th]

Hmmmmmmmm........
It's kind of like... what are those human things, where you get r8ised by other genetically similar humans instead of lusii?
Fathers and 8rothers, or something.

[82the8th]

It's a sh8me, 8ut I can't prove it. Not yet.
I still need a few more key memories.

[82the8th]

I remem8ered my ancestor!!!!!!!!
The mighty troll in whose footsteps I am f8ted to walk.

[mokomanjuu]

That really is cool! Having her "destiny" all figured out must be why Vriska is always so confident.
