Raging Avalanche

Your name is SHINII. You are 8 Alternian Solar Sweeps, approximately 17 in HUMAN YEARS. You are also a PURPLE blood, but you are BAD at keeping up with your DUTIES. Being such a HIGHBLOOD puts you in an interesting SITUATION, allowing you to SUBJUGATE lower bloods with paralyzing FEAR, but you suck at it. You have a variety of INTERESTS and ABILITIES. You have a passion for BAD POETRY and VIDEO GAMES. You like to DRAW and WRITE but you aren't very good at it. You have a fondness for PARANORMAL LORE, and are an aspiring PAINTER. You also like COOKING sometimes but you are not very good at that either.

Despite Shinii’s valiant effort at reassuring him, Kalleu didn’t feel very assured. He was set on the floor, and right away he went to protectively clutching a number of his belongings to his chest.”+heyre no+ useless…” he insists, bitter and offended sounding. There was nothing useless about his collection of miniature seafaring vessels.

“No+ really, no. I didn+ s+eal +hese, I made +hem. Im good a+ i+” It was one of the very few things that the lowblood was good at, and that much was made evident by the way Kalleu’s cheeks were dusted with a light caramel blush.

“…Hey look, before we go, can I make a blog pos+ abou+ all +his¿ I mean, i+s sor+ of a big deal.” 

[frostbittenprince-blog]

"YEs." He says as he pokes at a small bottle with a claw tip. Kalleu MADE these? He must have captured them, Kalleu was obviously much more powerful then he let on. Where the tiny trolls and crewed the vessels still inside? Did they know they were trapped? Where they already dead? These were only a few of the many questions he had about it as he moved along the walls. 

"GRubsauser...." He mumbles to himself as he contemplates the vastness of Kalleu's ability. "YOu might be more powerful then even SHeazn."

Curling up in a recupracoon actually sounded pretty good right about then…Damnit, no Kalleu! Stay focused here.

“Spi++ing ou+ drones¿” He was easily lifted off of his feet and slung over the other troll’s shoulder with a displeased grunt. “+hanks bu+ no +hanks, highblood. Don+ be a bulgehuffing re+ard abou+ +his, you CAN+ make me a be++er +roll, Ive +ried, okay¿ I’d rather jus+ hide anyway…I mean, any +roll withou+ a lusus ge+s culled, righ+¿ And I’ve been hiding ou+ here in the coun+ryside my whole life, so if I lef+ here, +hey’d be more likely to find ou+ abou+ me, righ+¿ +hink abou+ i+! I’ll either ge+ culled for being an orphan or i’ll ge+ culled for hiding from conscrip+ion la+er on down +he line! “

His argument had clearly gone unheard however, judging from how Shinii had yet to put him down.  So this was what his life had been reduced to. Years of avoiding general troll inanity ruined by a HIGHBLOOD within a mere few hours.

Of course.

He had finally reached the grand epicenter of complete bullshittery.

[frostbittenprince-blog]

"AS SHeazn told me once, 'I'Ve tried nothing, and I'M ALl outta ideas!'" He retorts happily, though he didn't actually get the saying it was similar to the situation at the time. "YOu wont learn how to be just any troll, KAlleu. YOu'll learn how to be a GRand HIghblood, and I LIve in the middle of the tundra, so you wont have to worry about to much traffic!" He reassures.

When they get back inside Shinii sets Kalleu down gently, and undoes his own coat a little as he looks around more. "WOw you gotta a lot of useless stuff. PIles of it even!" He seemed impressed as he looked at all the anchers and tiny ships in the bottles. "HOw'd you get so many ships?" He looks back at him, his eyes wide and his face serious. "DId you steal all these ships?"

It was true, Shinii had no idea why Kalleu was even still alive! Obviously he should have been eaten by now by something, the fact that this snug little valley had housed and sheltered him without a lusus was still rather impressive. But the Drones always find you, no matter what. Shinii frowned, his ears twitching. “YEah, it does.” He agrees. 

He finally stands up and pulls Kalleu to his feet by the scruff of his neck. “I AM PRobably going to regret this, but I’m taking you as my Matesprit.” He says at last, grinning as he shows his fangs. “AS YOur highblood you have no say in the matter, but at least you’ll stay alive longer. YOu have 3 days to pack, before the DRones show up.” He drops him onto his feet. “MY LUsus will remain with you for now, to make sure you get ready to leave your hive behind. I WIll head back to mine and prepare for your stay.” 

Shinii’s heart beat with a need to protect the lowblood, he was his now and no Drone or other Troll was going to get their grubby hands on him! But why he was helping him was strange, he’d probably get made fun of my other Highbloods, but he didn’t care. At least he was getting a quadrant filled! 

[abyssalentozoon]

Kalleu’s atrocious sniveling came to an abrupt end as he was suddenly hoisted off of his feet by the larger troll. “W-wha+¿” He sputtered in reply, his knees buckling clumsily as he was dropped back onto the ground. Oh, no no no, he wasn’t just going to LEAVE his hive! Not within 3 days! What about all of his stuff!?

“Swee+ mo+her grub! L-le+s not play makebelieve games abou+ +his, Shinii! I didn+ wriggle ou+ of a slime puddle yes+erday, I know how quadran+s work and jus+ claiming dibs is SO no+ how +hey work.”

He looked to Shinii’s lusus for approval and his head sunk into his shoulders as it simply stared back at him in a way that warned him to comply, it’s eyes chilling and reflective.

[frostbittenprince-blog]

Said lusus finally moves up and around Kalleu like a happy cat, letting out a deep rumbling purr. Shinii snorts agian, waving off Kalleu's complaints. "NOnesense! IT WOrks however I WAnt it to work!" He dismisses. Wrapping an arm around the smaller troll he pulls him into a nonconsensual side hug. 

"I AM GOing to teach you how to be a better troll! YOu'll be spitting out DRones in no time under my watchful care!" He promises, patting Kalleu on the chest. "WE CAn make snow trolls, and hunt together and..ehehehe...curl up in our recupracoons!" So lewd! His purple blood flushing to his grey cheeks at the thought. 

"WAit til SHeazn hears about this!" He throws Kalleu over his shoulder and marches off back to the others hive.

He makes a face for a moment then grins back at her. “THen I suppose you are also stuck with me. SO YOu paint with me, then I WIll just visit another time when she’s around.” He had time to kill and decided it was best to travel back at night when it was cooler. This desert was crazy! 

“YOu can beat me up some more if you want.” He laughs a little, feeling a little more comfortable teasing Basilisk. 

[scyllalovelace]

Basilisk visibly scowled at his offer. He may irritate her, and not yet have her “seal” of approval, but she had no desire to lash out at him again. Such a fact might be surprising, but his recent words had mellowed her out enough to stave off further outbursts of rage for the time being. As she said, he was safe from her wrath…. Mostly. 

” N@. I will N@T ‘beat’ the ssstuffing @ut @f y@u anym@re than I already have. I am quite thr@ugh with that, thank y@u.”

She grumbled to herself as she stepped over. There was no need to make it sound so dramatic. She hadn’t beat him within an inch of his life. She’d only frightened him and left him with a few claw marks, much to her satisfaction.

The snake knelt down to the palette of paints and picked up one of the brushes, peering up towards Shinii simultaneously. “I d@n’t feel very c@mf@rtable jusssst painting with y@u near. Painting isssss ss@mething I h@ld highly perssss@nal.”

[frostbittenprince-blog]

He looked at her surprised. "REally? I HAve painted with other trolls before, you should try it. YOu don't have to be intimate about it, jeez." He holds up a brush too, and finding a good empty place that wont get in the way of her own art he ads a swirl. "LIke this." He crouches as he works, his tongue stuck out as he paints a silly picture of Nagini. 

"ITs you!!" He laughs, adding some more details here and there. "ANd here is Basilisk!" He points out as he adds her next to Nagini and works on painting his own Ancestor. "THis is my ANcestor, the IMmaculate STalker."

“OKay, you think what you want then.” Shinii grumps from the shore, crossing his arms. But he tilts his head, Kalleu was precious actually. With his to small clothes and his little fang and horns. He heard that horns were sensitive to touch, but it was like grabbing someones butt. You just didn’t do that. 

“NO, THat is wrong. THey will come, probably soon too. SO YOu better find someone to kill a bucket with, you aren’t a grub anymore. SOon we’ll be adults, so we gotta act like them.” He walks up to Kalleu at last and shakes his head. “NO. BUt someday soon…I HOpe.” He sits on the shore and hugs his knees. Looking out at the water. “DO YOu have any filled?” 

[abyssalentozoon]

Words were pointless and unheard as the last of his optimism was brutally murdered right before him. 

Not surprisingly, Kalleu interpreted Shinii’s advice as a warning of his imminent demise.  It was a damned miracle that the lowblood had managed to live for the seven sweeps that he had, what without having any sort of defense mechanisms to speak of.  He covered his face in both hands, making a high pitched noise of frustration. Hardly an effective method of dealing with his problems, but that had never stopped Kalleu before.

He paused in his noise making only to look pitifully up at the highblood before continuing, blubbering something that sounded like it could have been “Troll society is so dumb.” but it was hard to say for sure.

[frostbittenprince-blog]

It was true, Shinii had no idea why Kalleu was even still alive! Obviously he should have been eaten by now by something, the fact that this snug little valley had housed and sheltered him without a lusus was still rather impressive.

[frostbittenprince-blog]

He shifts a little then looks around and smiles. “WHy don’t we paint until she wakes up?” He steps back a bit more, gesturing to the buckets. “WE COuld, together.” He didn’t want to upset Basilisk anymore then he was sure he already had. He puts a hand on some blank wall. 

Smiling now he shows off his sharp teeth. “ONly if you want to though.” 

[scyllalovelace]

Basilisk paused and stared, surprised he wanted to stick around, to say the least. Although when he mentioned it was to wait for Nagini to awaken, she understood. “Sssshinii…. I’m afraid…. It d@esssss n@t quite w@rk that way. I can n@t be here @n a whim, n@r can ssshe be g@ne @n a whim. When we have ssswitched, there iss n@ sswitching back until the cycle hassssss reached itss end. @nly then d@ we sswitch back. It iss an aut@matic pr@cesssss.”

She stepped up to the highblood and placed her hand atop his as it rested against the flat surface of the wall. “Sshe iss bussy being me right n@w,” she suddenly grinned. “A tassk that I am certain isss m@sst difficult f@r her.” The snake dropped her hand away from Shinii’s, her eyes coming to rest on the pendant in her other hand even as she stood before him. “Ss@, I’m afraid…. Y@u are ssssstuck with me f@r the time being….”

He makes a face for a moment then grins back at her. "THen I suppose you are also stuck with me. SO YOu paint with me, then I WIll just visit another time when she's around." He had time to kill and decided it was best to travel back at night when it was cooler. This desert was crazy!

“YOu wont be culled.” He growls, feeling Kalleu move around in his jacket. But he knows its sort of fruitless to try and convince him of that. “BUt you aren’t stupid.” 

He looks down at Kalleu, pushing his goggles up he takes the smaller trolls chin and smiles. “YOu are anything but disposable, and I DO UNderstand. Even HIghbloods have problems, not saying that yours are anywhere near as silly as ours.” He sighs. “KAlleu, once you stop trying to live in your ANcestors shadow, you wont develop. I LIke you, so I wont let you get culled.” He picks the little Troll up under the arms and sets him down on the shore finally, water up around his knees as he stands there, his hood down, letting his hair move around in the night air. 

“LOwbloods are the most diverse and amazing things I HAve ever seen. I LOve everything about you all. FRom the colors of your blood, to your powers, to your lives. I ENvy you, because you can sleep a whole night without hearing the calls for blood.” He frowns a little. “THank you for playing with me, next time I’ll come up with something less…bloody.” 

[abyssalentozoon]

The second he was released and set down Kalleu skittered away from the water. He rubbed under his arms where he had been picked up. “Okay. +ha+ was empowering and all bu+ I really can+ +rus+ any+hing you said. Highbloods are mean+ +o be sneaky and dishonest+ so +try no+ +o +ake it personally.” 

His tongue awkwardly licked over the one fang that was just a little too large to fit behind his lips usually.

“Bu+ like I said, don+ worry abou+ i+. +he culling drones don+ even make rounds by my hive very of+en.” He shrugged. “Maybe the lowbloods are so insignifican+ +o +hem +ha+ +hey don+ bo+her +o was+e +heir energy.” It was nice to think so anyway. “…So you filled any of +hose quadran+s of yours ye+ ¿”

[frostbittenprince-blog]

"OKay, you think what you want then." Shinii grumps from the shore, crossing his arms. But he tilts his head, Kalleu was precious actually. With his to small clothes and his little fang and horns. He heard that horns were sensitive to touch, but it was like grabbing someones butt. You just didn't do that.

[frostbittenprince-blog]

He does something worse, he ignores her. Putting the brush down he touches the paints on his arms, inspecting the quality. “MY OWn paints are made from blood too.” He spreads some between his fingers, feeling the texture. He was scared shitless, no doubt, but this was like fighting a hoof beast. A good Hunter does not give into his fear, he wished he has his jacket, it always made him feel safer. But if he wanted to be a friend of Nagini he had to show Basilisk that he wasn’t a quivering grub, that he could stand on his own, also he was sure respect was in their somewhere. 

He was hard to not give into his highblooded nature and just take her head right there, he could, he was sure she knew that too. And even with her ability to defend herself in the end most Subjugators were all but immune to most lowblood powers. Well…the mind ones not the ones that can hurl knives and shit. 

“FIne, so you are not coddling her. BUt its not your body, and her mission is not yours. BUt you are also right, it is none of my business, but as for our future conversations I hope that you will allow me to befriend her. I lIke NAgini, she’s strong and full of life, also my LUsus likes her. I WAnt to paint and hang out with HER.” He finally moves up to get into Basilisks’ face. “PLease understand, I WIll not stop you or your mission, but I HOpe someday you find peace.” He takes her hand and presses his against it for a moment and steps back, leaving behind the symbol of the Signless. Before backing away respectfully with a small bow. “I WIll leave now if you want me too.” 

[scyllalovelace]

Lucky him….. She was the knife throwing kind, but no steel would be thrown today. Basilisk wasn’t going to hurt or forbid Shinii from seeing Nagini. She even backed down from her standoffish glare and shied her gaze from him when he leaned in close. The only reason her temper had flared was because of the highblood’s indirect attempt to break through her thick wall of psychotic, anti-social arrogance. She simply wasn’t going to allow it this early in the ‘game’…. She wasn’t going to bestow her trust.

“I w@n’t ssst@p y@u…” she uttered softly, but tensed up in silence when Shinii took her by the hand and spoke those words to her. The snake looked to the silver pendant in her palm, as though stricken by the gesture. And for just a brief moment…. it seemed something deep within that had long been locked away and sheltered from the world, was stirred by the significance of the Signless. It was but a fleeting moment of reconciliation with the girl whom she’d used to be before her downfall. But just as its appearance was all too sudden, so was its departure. Basilisk peered back up at Shinii with a somber expression. “I will let y@u kn@w when sshe isssss due t@ return… Until then…. Keep y@ur disssstance if y@u wisssssh.”

[frostbittenprince-blog]

He shifts a little then looks around and smiles. "WHy don't we paint until she wakes up?" He steps back a bit more, gesturing to the buckets. "WE COuld, together." He didn't want to upset Basilisk anymore then he was sure he already had. He puts a hand on some blank wall. 

Smiling now he shows off his sharp teeth. "ONly if you want to though." 

[scyllalovelace]

She listened to him in silence with her back turned, his words rather meaningful, but irritating to her all the same. She was not at all pleased with Nagini’s refusal to continue her legacy. As far as Basilisk was concerned, it wasn’t just a legacy, but a destiny. Nagini was supposed to take her place, and with such a position came the responsibility of judging the balance of others. Should their balance be off, it is her job to help them fix it, or KILL them if they treat it like a joke.

“Y@u sssseem t@ be under the missssc@ncepti@n that I am here t@ c@ddle her and pr@tect her. I am n@t even here by ch@ice. Either way, I am N@T here t@ pressserve her unlessss her b@dy befallssss threatening perilss whilsst I am usssssing it. Sshe musst triumph @ver her pr@blemssssss by hersself. H@w elsse will sshe gain sskill and experience?” The woman turned back around, watching Shinii splatter paint over himself like a fool while she quietly thought to herself about the paints themselves. Nagini wasn’t the one who willingly used paints made from troll blood…. A smirk slowly spread across Basilisk’s lips. “I h@pe y@u realize… y@u’re ssmearing y@ursself in the bl@@d @f my f@@lisssh victimss… Jusst think. Thiss c@uld have been y@u. I like t@ take ss@uvenirsss fr@m my killss in @rder t@ add t@ my c@llecti@n @f paintsssss.” Basilisk carefully approached the Highblood, pushing the palette of paints aside with her foot. “Alth@ugh I may like y@u, Sshinii. It d@ess n@t mean I w@n’t at sssss@me p@int unleassh my wrath ssh@uld y@u begin t@ aggravate me. I am here f@r @ne reasss@n, and @ne reasss@n @nly!

The snake held Shinii in a burning, narrow gaze. For a moment she almost dared him, in her mind, to take a swing at her just so she could demonstrate how easily she could put HIM in HIS place.

Shinii blinks in surprise as he feels the warmth between them as they bob in the water as his Lusus swims, his legs dragging in the freezing lake. But Kalleu was spared the most room, staying dry, because Shinii could handle the cold. He opens his jacket and Kalleu finds himself wrapped up in a large warm jacket. 

“BEing as cool as an ANcestor is overrated anyways.” The Highblood tells him gently, having developed a keen ear for soft sounds. Being a hunter and all. Shinii might come off as dumb but there was more to him then most seem to realize, and he was far from your average Troll. Bleh. Who needed status quo’s anyways, not him, fuck the Condescense! 

He hugs Kalleu closer and looks out as the shore approaches. “YOu are a good troll, KAlleu.” He tells him. 

[abyssalentozoon]

“Yeah righ+. Im no+ +ha+ s+upid, I know how +troll socie+y works.” Suddenly the dispiritedness was gone, replaced with a bitter childish sort of anger. He wiped at his face with the back of his hand. “Im dispensable, the imperial drones would cull me in a second and you know i+. Every+hing is s+il+ed in the favor of highbloods, you wouldn+ unders+and.” 

Overrated…?

“Look, forge+ about+ I said any+hing, Le+s just go +o the food car+ or some+hing.” Anything was better than embarrassing himself any more than he already had.

[frostbittenprince-blog]

"YOu wont be culled." He growls, feeling Kalleu move around in his jacket. But he knows its sort of fruitless to try and convince him of that. "BUt you aren't stupid."

   The ships lurch away from each other, sending water splashing high into the air and washing Shinii and Kalleu across the deck. The others ship sinking slowly into the water as fire engulfs it. Shinii laughs happily as they lay there, other trolls laying dead around them or running for their lives. 

He pushes his hood down as he relaxes, watching the ship sink. He reaches over and pats the other trolls leg as he calmed down. “WE WOn. GOod job.” 

[abyssalentozoon]

Kalleu cringed, curling into himself to avoid being splashed with water as the enemy ship literally sunk. The scene reflected in his wide, horrified eyes as Shinii just lie there laughing.

He frantically reached up to grab his own horns and hold them tightly in both hands. It seemed to be some sort of calming-down ritual for the lowblood. “DID YOU HAVE +O KILL +HEM¿” It seemed he missed the part where that was troll society in a nutshell. “You could+ PAY ME ENOUGH +o play +HA+ AGAIN.”

He stops laughing to look down at the nervous little troll holding his horns. “THey weren’t real KAlleu.” He says at last, concern on his face as he pushes up his goggles, his yellow eyes looking the little troll over. “HEy…I AM SOrry..it was just a game.” There is a flickering of life around them and the ship faded and Kalleu found himself on the back of Shinii’s lusus, Shinii sitting close behind him. 

The beast swimming through the black water with its precious cargo. Shinii didn’t know what to do, that was his and Crevans favorite FLARP session. Being Big Goddamn Heros on a pirate ship, so he opts for simply wrapping his fluffy arms around the little troll and holding him tightly. Silent for a time. 

“DOn’t worry.”

Kalleu slumped right against his chest, shoving his nose into the fluff of his jacket. He recalled something similar to this, hiding behind the soft feathers of his lusus when he had still been a little wriggler sweeps ago. The fond memories caused him to forget about the water for a moment and nuzzle a little closer.

It was pretty cute, but cute was never something a troll wanted to be. On Alternia cute was the kind of thing that got you eaten or stepped on, sometimes both in succession.  “I guess Im never gonna be as cool as my ances+or.” But who the hell could understand Kalleu when he was sniffling anyway.

Shinii blinks in surprise as he feels the warmth between them as they bob in the water as his Lusus swims, his legs dragging in the freezing lake. But Kalleu was spared the most room, staying dry, because Shinii could handle the cold. He opens his jacket and Kalleu finds himself wrapped up in a large warm jacket. 

"BEing as cool as an ANcestor is overrated anyways." The Highblood tells him gently, having developed a keen ear for soft sounds. Being a hunter and all. Shinii might come off as dumb but there was more to him then most seem to realize, and he was far from your average Troll. Bleh. Who needed status quo's anyways, not him, fuck the Condescense! 

He hugs Kalleu closer and looks out as the shore approaches. "YOu are a good troll, KAlleu." He tells him.
