You are generally very lenient with your moirail but you simply cannot allow a kismesis to develop between her and CV.

Past events had made you very wary of the way highbloods can get when certain feelings are not reciprocated. It is best to just stay away from the idea in general.

You continue figuring out what is happening with the game through other friends.

==> Message CB

There is no way you are messaging her. She needs time to cool off. And to generally sort out her attitude. Some highbloods are just so spoiled.

You decide to message the other blueblood to see if the game is worth playing.

[euthanasicChemist[EC]'s computer was destroyed at 0:53]

Your lusus insists that you sleep now. You turn off your computer and proceed to your recuperacoon. Perhaps the next day will be more fruitful.

Strange how some memories still appear on Prospit.

And oh how bittersweet, how friends and lovers split apart, and enemies are born in the ruins of the peace.

Such a vacant rift between all those that you pity and hate can only be filled with tears or blood.

You can feel a vein pop. You have never understood why trolls could be so volatile sometimes, especially your friends. Your other ones never got into fights this often. Of course it is natural for highbloods to be somewhat unstable. Luckily, you did not get that with being cobalt blooded.

Either way, trying to intervene here would cause someone to lose a limb and you decide to communicate with them one at a time. You begin with your violet-blooded friend. Maybe you can alleviate some of the pressure off his shoulders.

You contemplate joining. However you have never been keen on ~ATH programs. They were always rather sketchy.

You feel bad about going against what your moirail says but you feel your knowledge and intuition is more decisive at the present moment.

Last time you ran an ~ATH file your computer exploded and Artemis-mom was stern with you for weeks.

You do not run the file, and decide to run it up with your highblood friends. Perhaps they have a more sound way of entering this game. 

==> Respond to memo “0H FUCK 1T”

[olympus-stuck]

==> Put on gloves

You can’t do that right now! How can you type with gloves on?

Your lusus gave you these gloves on your 6th wriggling day. Normally you wear them but it is difficult to type with them. You wonder what she has for you now that you are 7.

Do something else. 

==> Chat up your homies

That is not a phrase you would ever say. Ever. 

However, you oblige and proceed to message your moirail.

Oh lovely. Spam from the memo with your highblood friends.

Your lusus demands that you come off the computer. She sure can be a tightass sometimes. At least you have one, you tell yourself.

You will message your moirail later. 

==> Follow Artemis-mom into other room

She has lain a deck of cards on the table! 

You pick them up and look through. Tarots! Your lusus has told you that these cards hold magical powers, and she would eventually acquire some for you, when you were old enough to handle them

You allocate the cards to your strife deck. You have two now: tonfakind and cardkind. Perhaps one day you will be able to use your weapons for good, but you hope such drastic measures will never need to be taken.

[olympus-stuck]

Begin:

You peer into the isolated hive. 

A breeze whispers through the plains- the moons are bright, but this creature serves as a beacon of light for miles.

It seems this creature is the lusus of a local youth. Who is this striking young troll?

Your name is VESTIA FANGER. It is the 2nd bilunar perigree of the 3rd dim season's equinox of the 5154th sweep, which so happens to be your WRIGGLING DAY and you are quite happy that it has arrived. It is a special day for you, for this is when you emerged from the caverns and found your lusus, whom you quite admire. Your hive is located on some GRASSY PLAINS and is delightfully empty except for the forests nearby where your lusus hunts.

You have a variety of INTERESTS. You have always held a passion for ASTRONOMY and you often go onto the roof of your hive to observe the stars. You have a telescope to view them but you don’t use it, often preferring to see them with the naked eye. BOOKS are dotted everywhere on the floor and you have a habit of never bothering to pick them up. Perhaps you like the books to remain on the floor. You enjoy reading the HISTORICAL AND FANTASY genre though you can read others if you wish to. Your friends occasionally recommend you some that you may read and so far you have enjoyed reading them all.

You love to SING and your lusus often joins in with you, the haunting melodies whistling through the emptiness of your home. You are constantly looking for NEW MUSIC that will keep you interested but will often annoy your friends with how frequently you sing it. Sometimes, you find it disappointing how no one appreciates the kind of music you listen to. Luckily, you have a friend who is sometimes MORE THAN WILLING to help you with your troubles and you pity her in the most pale way possible.

You are currently using a system called TROLLIAN to chat with your friends and you find it unbearingly inconvenient. Your troll tag is fortuitousAngelus and You Speak In A (alm And Generally (ourteous Manner.

What will you do?
