*you find a small bag filled with what looks to be a brown powder and marshmallows in your stocking. attached is a note* “merry Christmas ag! it’s hot cocoa mix! if you ain’t sure how to make it i can come over and help, just ping me and i’ll be there in like 2 minutes! i hope you like it! - ce”

Thanks Skye! I loved the cocoa powder! It smelled delicious! I wasn't sure how to set it on fire in my hive but I managed to create a little air bubble for it! It worked great but it was really smokey.

Hello. I am a representative of a group we call Team Aqua. We believe that, as oceans are the origin of all life, they’re incredibly important, in fact we would like to see them expanded! We have an incredible opportunity to do so but we need your help, will you join us?

👀 I'm listening

How much blood would you say is a healthy amount to lose?

whatx up with everyonex livex being xo full of injury

[cunningcatalyst]

>}o i can confirm having blood out of your body is not fun

[aquaticgiggles]

Hehehe

[aquaticgiggles]

aren’t you tired of being nice? don’t you just wanna go apeshit?

Want to find out? 😇

[astra-real]

We should start a fight club.

[aquaticgiggles]

I don't think that's a good idea. Someone could get hurt!

[aquaticgiggles]

I think someone has a porch crush on you

2.2/10. Not enough water.

Sorry, not interested.

252+ Specs Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Iyeris in the Sun: 263-310 (86.5 - 101.9%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

Oh no, I hope you don't get the OHKO.

Wait is that joke overused yet?

i wanted to make friends with Murie so i showed ‘er my favorite duel monsters cards but she just threw them into the ocean :(

What a jerk. Any way they can be recreated with alchemy?

How can you tell if a couple is in a pale relationship? I observed Draco shoosh papping Skye, quite effectively if I may add, during a time of need yet she continues to insist that they’re merely human friends. I’m confident that I’m not reading too much into this, the other carapacians who observed the event came to the same conclusion. Are they merely blind to what they have?

Well if she says they aren't in a pale relationship, then they probably aren't!

...however...humans don't have any experience with complex romance like us trolls do, so hypothetically a human might not be able to distinguish between being standard friendship and what we would identify as pale feelings! So it's possible the feelings are there and they just don't realize it!

[crackedexcellence]

wait wait hold on a ain’t neither of us wanna engage in extreme violence!!

i mean other than that one time he got mad and i had to stop him from lettin loose on a bunch of underlins…

but that ain’t really count because… like…

… it’s just different!

… is it different?

i don’t actually know what pale feels like?

[mechanicchariot]

What's this about relationships and pale and shoosh papping?

Skye's my mate. I thought that was easy to understand.

[crackedexcellence]

trolls got a bunch more romance options than just what we get from like...

ag told me one of them is all about like, keepin each other from gettin self destructive?

like you get a real tight bond with each other and help each other get better and stop each other from hurtin anyone. that’s the pale one.

[mechanicchariot]

Ooh, I've heard of that. Brilliant analogy, actually.

I get that. We're really good mates!

But, like, does that mean the trolls think we're dating?

[crackedexcellence]

the carapacians seem to at least?

and then i remember a bunch of them on prospit talked about hate romance…

…are we the odd species out when it comes to this quadrant stuff?

[mechanicchariot]

I think we just don't categorise it because categorising it isn't perfect. It's sort of like a spectrum, isn't it? All kinds of love are at least a little different.

[crackedexcellence]

that’s probably what it is yeah, we ain’t got a word for it so we never really thought about it before?

[mechanicchariot]

There's probably some kind of weirdly-spelled troll word for it. Ask Iyeris what she calls the pale relationship, maybe?

[crackedexcellence]

it might not be exactly the same, which is why i like the idea of comin up with a new word for whatever we got!

i don’t think palefriends sounds too bad? what do you think?

[mechanicchariot]

Ooh, good point.

Doesn't quite roll off the tongue though... Palemates?

[aquaticgiggles]

Do not refer to yourselves as Palemates! That has a double meaning for quadrant romance and it is not what you are going for!

The correct term is Moirails!

[crackedexcellence]

oh right mates does have a bit of a double meanin to it… it ain’t how he meant it though he’s just british!

[mechanicchariot]

Up next, Iyeris declares war on Australia for use of the word "Mate" in colloquial language.

[aquaticgiggles]

🤦🏼‍♀️ making me spell it out. Guys. "Palemates" sounds like "sex friends" in Alternian culture! Pick something else!

hey ag when humans are datin we tend to call each other boyfriend or girlfriend dependin on gender, do y’all have somethin like that but dependin on quadrant? like a pitchfriend or palefriend?

Yes!

Your flushed partner is your Matesprit

Your pale partner is your Moirail

The mediator in an ashen triad is the Auspistice

And your pitch partner is your Kismesis

[asktrisallens]

Wait how do you like us trolls I haven't even met you

i got a random encounter and met a troll like you!! we became friends and they told me about your species :D

[aquaticgiggles]

Ummm...it's what you humans call "marriage."

[asktrisallens]

really??? i thought it meant something a bit more dirty… :p

[aquaticgiggles]

Do....do humans not consider that to be private? I mean it's kind of taboo for us to discuss publicly! It's considered inappropriate for casual conversation.

[aquaticgiggles]

Do you think Muriot is a loser?

No, not a loser. She just gets on my nerves sometimes!

I mean, being a thief on Alternia is one thing. But here? After the apocalypse that left only a handful of trolls left alive? We should be working together, not trying to con each other!

And why is she hateflirting with a human? He said he wasn't interested.

[aquaticgiggles]

Don't threaten me with a good time!

[aquaticgiggles]

Don't worry, Veltha, it's just a joke!

Besides, you know you're the only ♥️🌙☘️ for me!

[articulatetrick]

Have you figured out what your Sylph of Hope powers are yet?

Sure I did!
