Dependent Equius blog for vvirose's timeline Background by gelasticat

989 posts

He was tired, he could feel it down in his bones. He was weary of talking online and to these people and too polite to end conversations. Of course he might not be so ‘tired’ if he weren’t quietly upset about Nepeta’s ancestor’s instant dislike of everything having to do with him.

Obviously the best solution was to take his laptop and faceplant into his very small matesprit’s la. @tonitruousaphthong hadn’t gone through his adult pupation yet and Equius was comically larger than him right now.

D–> I will not control who they speak to, but thank you.

I’m sure they wvouldn’t mind blocking a Cronus, but fair enough.

D--> They would not, but that is still not my call to make.

centaurslament:

D–> Likely.

D–> I cannot say I would react well right now in this moment were you to begin interacting with my quadrants. D–> But you are safe enough from a troll like me.

Mm. I’d block them if you told me their blog names, but I understand if you don’t trust that. I wvon’t be offended if they block me, either.

D--> I will not control who they speak to, but thank you.

centaurslament:

D–> I sympathize with your long stay in death

D–> And your attempts to better yourself. D–> Although I cannot say I will ever be a part of your narrative, past this point. D–> Although who knows, I am immortal, many things are possible in time.

Better for us both if you’re not, I suspect.

D--> Likely. D--> I cannot say I would react well right now in this moment were you to begin interacting with my quadrants. D--> But you are safe enough from a troll like me.

#caepaecaesurae

D--> Forgive me if I slow

D--> I am not often social and I find myself becoming tired

centaurslament:

D–> Did you spend a great deal of time in death, then?

I remember purposefully going through my Alternian life in order twvice, after breaking the loop, and before attempting to wvander memories in a less organized fashion.

I don’t knowv howv long.

It felt like a wvhile.

D--> I could not say, records of him were not to be found.

centaurslament:

D–> You at least seem self aware, which I cannot say Cronus has ever been.

My Alternian half had my Beforan half’s upbringing fosted off on him. My Beforan half had four hundred swveeps of life and easily three times that of death fosted off on him.

I’vwe had time for introspection.

centaurslament:

D–> I am not usually a violent troll, and it is not my place to intervene uninvited.

D–> Although I doubt there is anything which you can say that will lift my opinion now.

There didn’t seem to be much before.

centaurslament:

D–> A small amount of irony on my behalf I’m afraid. D–> I am neither able to wield a bow, nor suited to such a position temperamentally. D–> The sign is my own and I hang my accomplishments upon it D–> And my caste means nothing now.

Right then, that’s answered all my questions about you, thanks for your time, do me a favor and leave me alone.

D--> As you wish, thank you for your time.

centaurslament:

D–> It is a sad statement that you find that to be an expected reaction. D–> What principle was that?

Au contraire: It is logical. It’s also often more effective than assuming boundaries that do not exist. It would be sadder for me to expect you to read my thinkpan.

Your caste, your sign, which you display as if a sign of pride… Additionally worth noting, the favored weapon of the archeradicators, which decorates your text in what I can only assume to be a purposeful choice, considering the care you take to do it on every line.

centaurslament:

D–> Once you indicated I was not unwelcome, yes

If I actually wanted you gone, I would have told you from the start. Alternian society taught me trolls won’t take a harsh comment as a sign to back off, so I’ve taken to clearer measures like “go away” when they’re required.

I don’t like you on principle, but this was a chance to change my mind.

D--> It is a sad statement that you find that to be an expected reaction. D--> What principle was that?

centaurslament:

D–> I was not asking for apologies.

D–> It is your choice to continue to speak to me and be heard. D–> Or to let his narrative and mine be the only ones I know.

And wvill you be enforcing your opinion vwiolently as you jokingly offered to last night?

D--> I am not usually a violent troll, and it is not my place to intervene uninvited. D--> Although I doubt there is anything which you can say that will lift my opinion now.

@centaurslament I believe I should mention that we knew each other on Alternia as well, when he owned me as a wiggler.

D–> Did he. D–> Do tell.

palteringcecutiency

For several sweeps, in fact. From two until six ish. He bought me to be a helmsman, which in that time was a far different position than the modern equivalent but still not one occupied by those considered trolls. He did not take kindly to my insistence on being respected, and attempted to correct it with the back of his hand more often than not, especially when drunk and angry, which was almost always.

Has it been mentioned that he was hundreds of sweeps old by then? And around ten feet tall? It’s rather necessary for the full visual of the experience.

D--> I see. D--> Thank you for your forthrightness with this subject.

centaurslament:

D–> Should I shy away from conversation with everyone who expresses displeasure with me? D–> We are not on a whole a race of kind people, who are from Alternia. D–> Tonight I am feeling bolder, so I take conversation as it comes. D–> Another night I might lurk as is my usual habit.

You just did shy away. Have you changed your mind officially, then? Scienterrorizers want to know.

D--> Once you indicated I was not unwelcome, yes

Not evwery expression of regret is a plea for attention, and you do not havwe to be wvrong about evwerything to be wvrong frequently.

D–> Oh? D–> I am curious about what you may say to attempt to convince me.

I don’t owve you heartfelt apologies, and he doesn’t believwe them.

D--> I was not asking for apologies. D--> It is your choice to continue to speak to me and be heard. D--> Or to let his narrative and mine be the only ones I know.
