(psst. up here.)

Cotes seems like a place Damara would be. It seemed reminiscent of those east-alternian places you’ve seen--or at least, pieces of all the popular parts, at least. So up in a pink tree, you sat.

You also toss down a rope.

(there’s something interesting up here. climb up.)

Oh absolutely not. No way in hell. Whatever alien fauna is on this planet you’re not having any part of. So like a small rodent, you duck out of its shadow, waiting for that giant winged scalebeast to pass.

This wasn’t part of your plan today at all...

(...psst.)

You gently tap the human on the shoulder. Was he hurt? Sleeping? It seemed too cold out here to be taking a nap.

(psst. are you alright???)

Pulling up his notes to confirm, no, he had never met an olive personally more than in passing, he put his phone away and moved back to his laptop.

“You’ll find quite a few humans around here at least passively aware of the hemospectrum, even if they don’t know the words for it. Quite a few trolls have been in this kind of situation for a while - longer than I have.” Adjusting his glasses, he looked at her. She must be new here.

“Humans only have one blood color. Some dolts will tell you otherwise under some pre-conceived notion that they’re being clever, but they’re wrong.” Inumuta went back to typing, still speaking.

“Oh, and nice passive threat. I suppose this conversation hasn’t been entirely predictable, so you’re not wrong.”

The corner of your mouth turns up ever-so-slightly. You’re glad he caught that.

You sit in front of this alien, and your over-sized coat swallows your crossed legs.

(you seem to be well versed either way. i’m impressed.)

And perhaps, a bit envious.

(you must have made a friend. perhaps several??? that must be nice.) (psst. what are you doing in front of this building on your husktop??? or is that a secret???)

I’ve been neglecting my girl...

This is a starter call capped at 4, and they’ll likely be on the shorter side unless you’d like to plot!

Admittedly, stealing information from the labs here was far too easy. Which, also admittedly, meant there was just about nothing useful there. Nothing about the city, for sure. So he settled on doing it for fun, because he could, and because there were more than just baseline NPCs working in places like these, so the information could be useful.

Crouching, he quirked a brow as he saw her, telltale horns and sign on her coat clear. Trolls likely wouldn’t take issue with a little casual snooping. At least, not the ones he knew.

“I don’t think I’ve met someone from your part of the hemospectrum before.” He mused, mostly to himself.

“There was a jade I met, only once though.”

People living in the shadows knew how to spot others, it seemed. You saw this teal-haired human over at his laptop, tapping away in a place neither of the two of you should be. It wasn’t too strange, in retrospect.

It was his mention of the hemospectrum that threw you off. None of the other humans you’ve met had done this... Curiosity piqued, you decided to make yourself visible.

(similarly, i haven’t met a human aware of alternia’s caste system.) (but i suppose you must have met other trolls if you do know???)

And just like that, the window into your heart is locked again.

(jades are even-tempered most of the time. keep to themselves. olive trolls are much less predictable.)

...

(humans don’t seem to have different blood colors, do they???)

Chk.

And then the copier died.

Yesod had adapted to the lower level of technology seamlessly, perfectly seamlessly, until this exact moment. All he needed were some simple papers duplicated for his personal records…

The copier did not respond to his silent pleading. Its gaze was as blank and material as always.

“Work.” It was senseless to talk to a machine, and whoever had built Yesod to be so senseless as to try to talk to a machine needed a stern talking to.

“… Please.” That couldn’t be his voice that sounded so desperate and on the verge of cracking.

He could act calm, even when he wasn’t. He would just… wait here until he felt like he could turn around without vomiting.

Unfortunately, there came the sound of footsteps behind him.

“This machine is occupied. You will have to wait,” he said without turning around.

You were observing this particular human cautiously. Pale faces and purple accents were enough to make you wary--at least on your planet, it’s a sign of unpredictability. But here, this particular alien seemed to be fussing over a printer... It seemed pretty mundane to you.

And the alien himself sounded a bit down.

(i didn’t need to use it, don’t worry. i just wanted to inspect the device.)

Cautiously, you peer around him to look at the sputtering device.

(psst. it might be jammed???)

[ One minute he’s running, the next he’s almost barreling into someone small…But knowing. What does she know? Too much, ]

I was about to show gratitude, though.

[ His expression turned sour as he squatted to get down to her level. ]

Where did you get that pen?

[ He pointed behind himself, he couldn’t forget what his favorite monogrammed pen looked like, and he didn’t ever have her as a client, so it’s not like that’s how she got it. ]

I bet you think you’re clever.

*_________

Your serene smile met Tagora’s, about as secretive as the rest of you. After all, if you really wanted to hurt him, you would have let the dead alien catch up and eat him.

No, you just want to humble him a little.

(i’m afraid i don’t have anything at all. in fact i think that pen belongs to you, doesn’t it???)

Satisfied, you peered around him to make sure no others followed... unfortunately, a few have.

(if you want it back, you better take it quickly. you have company.)

Your tiny hand grabs Tagora’s sleeve.

(let’s go.)

@psstpocketing Liked for a starter.

:33 < huh?? :33 < i haven’t s33n you befur :33 < are you anothfur troll that came straight furrom alternia? You ask the other troll with curious lilt. You really shouldn’t be surprised at meeting new trolls here on the island but you can’t help it! You grew up isolated from the rest of the population so meeting anyone new was always an exciting experience!

What a particularly carefree looking troll! Must be nice to be that unabashedly curious... But something about the way she worded her greeting words caught your ears.
