DD: i mean i also feel like that is kinda here but i am hoping that is not for the same reason that you feel kinda here because it is on account of feeling pretty awful and i wouldn't want you to feel pretty awful
ID: kinda as in i'm in the trap. so not really glued to my mobile.
ID: also that sucks. are you like. sick? maybe there's a virus going around.
SA: Pheres was also sick... it would be bad if there was a bug, it could have been at Cascara. But I don't remember seeing Dazzle there
SA: I hope you feel better soon.
DD: oh dear i did not mean to contact you while you were
DD: indisposed??
DD: and i have no idea if i am ill with a landdweller disease of some sort or if i am just unsuited to the desert DD: i am probably going to die or something but i am not sure i care very much anymore
DD: but i appreciate the well wishes!!
ID: it's fine, i gotta get my carcass out of the water anyway- uh. wow. mm.
ID: can you just... be. not in the desert if it sucks that much...?
OA: aW, WHAT'S A GUPPY DOING IN THE GODDAMN DESERt? :o(
DD: i dont think so i mean not really i mean DD: i am here because i am working with the station for tech development and beta testing and also i am supposed to be somewhere far away from where i was before so that the people who were trying to kill me wouldnt be able to find me so its kind of a twofer
SA: I doubt that, dazzle. Perhaps a doctor would be of use. 😃
DD: and everything hurts and i want my moirail except he is not even my moirail anymore because of the whole i am not around and the murder attempt and all that and there is no water and no fish in this desert and i couldnt even get some orange juice like you said pri because the lady selling it says she doesnt serve seadwellers except she used a much meaner word and everything is awful and
DD: sorry i should not be posting
AC: ..yes a d0ct0r s0unds l1ke a g00d 1dea als0 1f y0ure a seadweller 1n the desert d1d y0u remember t0 keep y0ur g1lls wet?? because thats,, pretty 1mp0rtant actually AC: and 1m s0rry ab0ut the rest 0f that but 1 th1nk thats g0nna get better 1f y0u take care 0f the f1rst th1ng pr0bably def1n1tely
OA: nAH, COUSIN, CHILL YOUR ROLL. AIN'T NO NEED TO GO AND FRAZZLe. OA: yOU GOT ALL THE RIGHTS TO VENT YOUR SPLEEN, FROM BLOOD AND BONE. WHAT A FUCKING wretch. OA: yOU TRIED LAYING YOURSELF FLAT IN A TUB? WE GOT PLENTY OF BRINE ON LAND, BUT THAT WON'T DO SHIT IF YOUR GILLS ROT OFf.
AC: yes l1ke 0a sa1d g0 d0 that 0r g0 1nhale there are als0 patches f0r th1s but 1 d0ubt y0u can get th0se 1f y0u c0uldnt get 0range ju1ce
DD: i have been trying but the water here is different and makes my gills sting and i ordered this little package of blocks you can dissolve in water to make it more akin to saltwater in terms of salt and other mineral content but it is not DD: here yet and i am not sure how long drone delivery takes on land i thought it would be here already
AC: ..th1s 1s g0nna s0und dumb but cant y0u just put salt 1n 1t f0r the t1me be1ng
ID: i mean. throw your hue around a little to the delivery company. that'll get it faster.
DD: (also im afraid i am not sure where to find a doctor but i suspect that is me wallowing because it seems like a difficult tast but so does getting up at all at the moment)
OA: yOU AT A STATION? WHY NOT JUST ASK SOME CHUCKLEHEAD UP TOP TO FETCH IT FOR YOu? OA: sURE AS NAUGHT, YOU AIN'T THE ONLY SOVEREIGN ON BASE, YEAH? EVERY BLUE'S KNOWN SOME CLOWN WITH FRILLs.
AC: r1ght here actually 0r maybe 1n p0rt m1na but 1 have n0 1dea where 1n the desert y0u are 0r even 1n wh1ch 0ne
DD: oh i am not at the station at this very moment unfortunately but yes there is one other seadweller there the general and i kind of wanted to ask them for help but i think they think im a little bit daft DD: and oh dear i was going to just add salt but then everyone said it wasnt the same so i didnt but
DD: i am in port mina it is the closest town to station 11 which is where i am working!
AC: O:B d0 y0u kn0w the c0ffee sh0p thats shaped l1ke a teap0t
OA: aDD SALT TO THE WATER. DROWN YOUR WOES. AND FUCKING CALL SOME SCHLUB AT THE BASE TO FETCH YOU THE PROPER SHIt. :o) OA: aIN'T NO NEED TO THROW YOUR CHROME AROUND. YOU'RE FUCKING VIOLEt. OA: yOU ARE gracing THEM WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER AID, AND THEY WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITy.
ID: can't you buy sea salt in stores. that... seems like it would work? i think?
SA: salt water is more than salt water it also has a particular mineral content, etc
DD: yes it is super cute i kind of wanted to go there but i am afraid they might not serve me like with the orange juice lady and then i am going to cry in the shop and that will be really embarrassing
SA: otherwise caring for my clown fish would be hell on alternia
DD: and oh dear i dont think everybody sees it that way oa but that is very kind of you to say so i mean DD: maybe i should call someone DD: i dont think
DD: er
DD: i
SA: and then reel it back in
AC: please d0nt threaten me actually
OA: hAHAHA, WHAT THE FUCk.
DD: i would rather not do that honestly especially since i think you were complaining about people that do that earlier prisma and i dont want people to dislike me and also im not sure if i would even be able to threaten you right now ac i mean unless you are deathly afraid of people crying i can probably threaten you wit hthat
DD: actually i am not even sure if prisma is being serious or maybe making fun of me
OA: hIS ADVICE IS RANK EITHER WAY. PAY IT NO MIND, COUSIN, HE IS LEADING YOU ASTRAy. :o)
AC: yes em0t10nal pe0ple are terr1fy1ng 1f y0u cry 0n me 1ll cry t00 thats sarcasm by the way
ID: yeah pris maybe. don't tell daz to be a jerk to lowbloods i think we. get enough of that.
SA: sometimes I have to be cruel and hateful too to convince higher blooded trolls to take me and my business seriously. But I understand hesitance
ID: from other highbloods.
SA: yes but I know they aren't that way inside so it seemed like a logical solution
SA: I apologize
DD: being hateful sounds like it takes a lot of energy i would rather just DD: i dont know
DD: i dont know im very confused in general right now i think that might be the temperature a little bit
ID: oh. uh i can see why that could. fry your pan. got any ice? put it on like. the back of your neck.
DD: and even if it is sarcasm ac that is okay i dont really know where you are so i could not do that regardless
DD: i think maybe the hotel has an ice machine that is where i am now
OA: cOUSIN, COUSIN, THEY JUST UP AND SAID THEY WERE AT THE LITTLE TEAPOt.
DD: i guess it is an inn
DD: oh
DD: i
DD: missed that completely you have my apologies
DD: oh!
AC: 1m a she but yes there was an 0ffer 0f ju1ce here 1t 1s aga1n just t0 be super expl1c1t 1m at the teap0t and 1m 0ffer1ng y0u ju1ce 0r maybe tea the c0ffee 1s g00d t00
DD: oh they said i could have something to drink too that is very kind
DD: she
DD: you have my apologies again i am sorry
OA: i AIN'T TOO FAR FROM THE STATION. HOW ABOUT I GO AND GET YOU A SALTBLOCK, YEAH? SEE IF THEY AIN'T GOT ANY FANCY MEDS FOR A FISH LIKE YOu. :o) OA: sHIT TO OPEN UP THOSE FUCKING GILLS, GET SOME COOL AIR IN YOu. OA: aND GIVE YOU A REASON TO STOP APOLOGISING, HOLY SHIt.
DD: i would very much like some orange juice and also maybe tea i have never had tea or orange juice before though i have had coffee though i have kind of been living off of coffee and lattes a little bit theyre very delicious and one of the things that dont taste weird here
DD: also i am sorry for being sorry >:P
DD: you are both very kind however that part is not a joke
AC: y0u havent AC: what?? AC: 0kay we need t0 f1x that 1 mean 1m reallyreally b1ased t0wards the c0ffee here 0r anywhere really but 1f y0uve never had tea y0u need t0 try 0ur lem0n 0ne 1ts great AC: wh1ch s0unds l1ke 1m try1ng t0 adverte f0r us here wh1ch 1m n0t even 1f 1t def1n1tely reads l1ke 1t but yes y0u get the p01nt
DD: i mean right now really the fact that you are willing to make me something without any of that threatening messiness is enough of an advertisement really but it also sounds really nice and i would like to try both the orange juice and the tea and the coffee i mean i havent had enough to drink in general probably and i cant tell how much of it is my gills drying out or actually drinking but yes
DD: once i
DD: figure out how to get up
ID: probably should start with. cold drinks there. with lots of ice.
DD: and no i havent had those things because they do not really happen underwater i guess except in pouches so thats how i am familiar with iced coffee
AC: actually thats g0nna take y0ur b0dy m0re energy t0 heat them up and pr0bably 1snt that great f0r y0u
DD: and oh right there was the ice machine
SA: less sugar will hydrate you faster
DD: oh but i would like something cold right now i dont really
AC: 0h r1ght s0rry 1 f0rg0t ab0ut the underwater th1ng the 0nly seadweller 1 kn0w d0esnt really spend a wh0le l0t 0f t1me there s0 1 tend t0 f0rget that 1ts a,, uh,, a th1ng
DD: i dont think my body heats things up
DD: maybe its the other way around since i am violet i have been using energy to cool everything down
ID: i mean if daz is overheating, cooling him down is. good.
DD: and oh that is interesting
DD: i didnt realize there were people that dont live in the water very much
OA: tHEY'RE RUNNING A FUCKING TEMPERATURE. ICE AIN'T GONNA DO SHIT, BUT FUCK THEM OVER PROPERLy. OA: jUST GET SOME TAP WATER, COUSIN. BODY'S ALREADY PROTESTING THE DRY. WHY YOU WANNA MAKE IT FIGHT THE CHILl?
DD: it seems very difficult
DD: i
DD: i dont know um i suppose everything sounds like it makes sense
DD: i want to run a bath but the fresh water makes things hurt more
DD: maybe i can just put my head in it without breathing it or getting it on my gills
DD: that seems silly but like maybe it would feel nice
OA: mAN. THIS IS WHY WE KEEP LUSUS ON BASE. COVER THIS SHIT FOR A MOTHERFUCKER, SO THERE AIN'T NO NEED FOR WORRY NOR FUSs. OA: iF YOUR SNOUT IS IN WATER, COUSIN, AND YOUR GILLS ARE IN AIR, HOW ARE YOU GONNA BREATh? :o)
DD: take my head out when i need to probably
DD: and oh my lusus is on base actually i would kind of like to crawl into the tank they use for the aquatic lusi but i cant bring an aquatic tendrilbeast to the hotel unfortunately
OA: pUT A RAG ON YOUR DOMe. OA: pUT SOME WATER IN YOUR GULLEt. OA: dUMP SOME SALT IN THE TRAP, AND THEN THROW YOURSELF IN, SO THERE AIN'T NO NEED FOR DRY-ASS DROWNINg. OA: aIN'T THERE SOME RUST WHO CAN HAUL YOU SOME TABLESALT Up?
DD: i can definitely ask the inn staff i think hopefully they have enough available and yes then i am going to do all of those things and then maybe stop dying
DD: sorry that all seems very obvious in retrospect i think maybe i am also not thinking especially clearly at the moment
DD: also um oa are you maybe still okay with bringing me something from the base maybe i think i am probably actually sick but also i dont want to do the threatening thing that prisma mentioned earlier that seems like a good way to make people stop being nice to me or really liking me at all
OA: tHREATENING IS THE HALL OF THOSE TOO WEAK TO WORK THEIR GODDAMN FLAp. OA: wHO NEEDS TO THREATEN WHEN A WELL-PLAYED WORD WORKS JUST AS WELl? :o)
OA: wHICH IS TO SAY, COUSIN, OF FUCKING COURSe. OA: i WILL FETCH YOU WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY GIVE. IT WILL BE MY PLEASURe.
OA: wHAT'S YOUR NAME, SOVEREIGn? OA: aIN'T KEEN TO SEND IT TO THE WRONG ROOm. :o)
DD: oh dear well that is a very nice way of putting that and thank you very much i am also very appreciative of your help and also your patience on account i was admittedly wallowing quite a bit earlier and things seem a lot less awful right now DD: and oh my name is dazzle that should also be what the block is under whats your name? and also ac if she is still around she was very nice and i still want to be able to meet her at the teapot cafe later if she still wants to
AC: yes h1 1m st1ll ar0und th1ngs are sl0w t0n1ght 1m lapyen AC: 0r just the blue 0ne 1n the bun and the glasses 0r actually really just the blue 0ne y0u cant m1ss me h0nestly
OA: mY NAME IS RICCIN. RICCIN KAYATA. WHEN YOU SEE ME, COUSIN, YOU'LL KNOw. :o)
OA: oR. WELL. WHEN THE HOTEL STAFF SEES Me. OA: wHAT THE FUCK EVER, I AIN'T USED TO THIS DELIVERY SHIt.
AC: als0 1m n0t sure 1f y0u can base my actual n1ceness 0n just a c0uple c0mments 1 made t0 y0u 0nl1ne 0ver the span 0f half an h0ur and 1f 1t really w0rks l1ke that and as a sec0nd als0 thats really 0m1n0us and 1m super cur10us what y0u even mean by that 0a
DD: that sounds very dramatic!! DD: the youll know comment i mean not the blue thing the blue thing makes a lot of sense actually given my recent experiences and i feel kind of bad to be happy that there is someone kind of highblooded around because that seems a little unkind of me but yes i mean youre very nice and i have learned recently i am not good at talking to lowbloods that i am not working with DD: and it is not just the comments i mean also you are inviting me for tea and all of those things thats pretty nice
OA: i AM A STRIKING GODDAMN FIGURE, THAT'S ALl. :o)
AC: 0h n0n0 d0nt w0rry 1 def1n1tely get that 1t can be really super awkward t0 talk t0 l0wbl00ds 1f y0ure n0t used t0 1t and als0 theres _s0_ much y0u can d0 wr0ng when y0u d0 that 1ts a l1ttle terr1fy1ng 1f y0ure n0t fr1ends w1th them already AC: als0 1 c0uld be lur1ng y0u 1n t0 r0b y0u y0u d0nt kn0w my m0t1vat10ns 1 mean 1m n0t and als0 that w0uld be pretty hard 1n br0ad m00nl1ght 1n a p0pulated area but 1m g0nna st0p typ1ng n0w
AC: a f1gure?? what k1nd 0f f1gure 0h my g0d
DD: well in that case i look forward to seeing you i mean if you decide to come up i am not sure if you wanted to with the staff comments or anything but that sounds intruiging and you have created an air of mystery and intrique DD: and yes that is a good description of how i feel lapyen i mean prisma and hadean and riccin have all been very nice but even then i messed up and prisma yelled at me so i am not always the best at being social with people at all really DD: though i think probably i dont think anybody would try to rob me or i mean you could try but i dont think it would work very well especially not like in a crowded teashop where you are employed : P
OA: .. wHAT SORT OF FIGURE ARE YOU PICTURING, GIRl? OA: bECAUSE I AM STARTING TO GET ALL SHADES OF FUCKING concerned.
OA: ;o(
DD: omg ahaha
DD: ow
DD: that hurt but i am going to keep laughing anyways because i do not think i have smiled in two nights
OA: cAREFUL, SOVEREIGn. OA: dON'T GO RIPPING YOUR GILLS, TRYING TO SPREAD SOME MIRTh.
OA: :o)
DD: theyre kind of stuck im not sure if i could even rip them even by laughing 😦
DD: i tried to peel one open earlier with my claws but i almost ripped a filament instead and they are all gummy and theyre not supposed to be
OA: >:o?
OA: tHAT SEEMS NASTY AS FUCk.
AC: n0t that k1nd 0f f1gure 0h my g0d ab0rt ab0rt AC: but als0 d0uble 0h my g0d that d0esnt s0und l1ke 1ts supp0sed t0 be l1ke that maybe def11ntely d0 the salt th1ng and then let me take a l00k at them later 1f y0ure,, uh,, 1f y0ure c0mf0rtable w1th that?? because 1f theyre s0 dry theyre glued shut theres a teeny t1ny r1sk 0f 1nfect10n n0th1ng t0 w0rry ab0ut but maybe s0meth1ng t0,, t0 l00k at
DD: oh dear
DD: it is pretty nasty yes especially because it is my body and i like my gills i also like them being working and not infected and
DD: um that is to say yes i would appreciate that lapyen if you are okay with that i mean you mentioned earlier you are a docterrorist and i dont know where else to find one and
DD: oh dear
OA: sHOULD I BE FETCHING THOSE MAGIC PILLS FROM THE BASE, TOo.
OA: >:o?
DD: oh um i thought maybe you already were i think you mentioned they had medicine earlier but i am not sure what they have really or how it works or what i need which is not very helpful of me
OA: bROTHER, BROTHER, THEY GOT PLENTY OF PILLs. OA: tHEY'RE ASKING ME WHAT THE FUCK I'M GETTING, THAT'S ALl.
OA: .. i'LL JUST GET ALL OF IT, AND YOU CAN TAKE IT AT ONCe. OA: gET THAT SICKNESS OUT EN MASSe. :o)
AC: um
AC: actually maybe read the l1ttle,, uh,, the n0tes that c0me w1th them and als0 d0nt take all 0f them at 0nce under abs0lutely n0 c1rcumstances
DD: oh dear
AC: just read the 1nstruct10n leaflets 1ts all 1n there 1ts f1ne
DD: that sounds like a good idea i am going to do that i mean if you are a docterrorist you know better probably
AC: s0rry n0 0ffense but 1 d0nt th1nk 1m g01ng t0,, 1 mean attend1ng med sch00l feeds just t0 kn0w that leaflets are 1n there t0 be read and n0t t0 take up space
AH: sorry Riccin's dumb ass came to ruin your evening
AC: 1ts n0t ru1ned my even1ng 1s f1ne but thanks and h1 gl1ese
AH: give it time. they're good at being a little bitch. but sup, how's life
AH: I went to a ren fair a little while ago, shit was wild
AH: what have you been doing? you landed that new gig, right?
AC: 0kay that s0unds k1nd 0f,, 1nterest1ng 1 guess was that c00l?? AC: and yes!! 1m d01ng an 1nternsh1p r1ght n0w we w0rk w1th r0b0ts 1ts supersuper c00l and h0nestly a really welc0me break fr0m sch00lfeeds 1m n0t say1ng that the stress 1s t00 much but the stress 1s pr0bably,, k1nd 0f a l1ttle b1t t00 much
AH: Haha damn, no, it probably is. It was interesting for _me_ , that's for sure, given I dragged a friend's sorry ass off to a mediculler, saw some absolutely fucking atrocious fashion, met up with Canela again, and met some new people.
DD: what no riccin has been lovely they are being very nice and are helping me out i dont think that counts as being that
AH: But what kind of robots are you working with. Are they cool?
AH: lmao Riccin's probably just sucking up because you're violet
AH: I can't be bothered to backread
AH: but I'd bet money
DD: i mean they didnt ask me to pay them or anything
AC: theyre very c00l but als0 we just g0t a b1g gr0up 0f cust0mers s0rry 1 reallyreally need t0 put my ph0ne away AC: y0u can t0tally talk t0 me ab0ut that later th0ugh and dazzle y0u can abs0lutely st1ll c0me 1n whenever y0u feel l1ke 1t s0rry bye
AH: well why would they, they have clowns taking care of their oversized ass
AH: they just like to feel important
DD: i hope you have a good night that sounds like a lot of work and i will definitely come by when i am feeling like i can walk!!
DD: and i mean you said money
AH: awww, damn
AH: but good luck and all
AH: ...I said I _bet_ money, not that you were paying them lol
AH: learn to read
DD: i can read i am just having a hard time doing so on account of everything being very hazy at the moment but also to clarify saying id bet money can be interpreted as you betting money on it or betting that money is the key factor hence the nature of my misunderstanding
DD: but also i dont think anybody has felt much like ingratiating themselves with me lately and instead its been more of the opposite so i think riccin is just being a nice person
AH: holy shit, who fed you caffeine, I want a word
AH: Also lmao you have terrible fucking judgment if you think Riccin is nice
AH: but then I guess they would be to you because they're like...loyal to clowns and up
AH: I think
AH: I don't know how their crazy pan works
DD: i mean they were very nice to lapyen as well and also i havent had caffeine in a while i heard it dehydrates you and i am having trouble with that lately so i did not want to make it worse
AH: mother grub, what the fuck, are you dried out or something? go jump in a lake or whatever, surely you have _that_ much survival instinct.
AH: or does fresh water hurt seadwellers? try it and let me know.
OA: gIRL, STOP DRAGGING ME. IF YOU WANTED MY ATTENTION, ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FUCKING SAy. ;o)
AH: wow look what the meowbeast dragged in
OA: yOU STILL AIN'T IN THE TUB, DAZZLe?
AH: the world's worst yellowblood
AH: also, I was legit just giving Lapyen a warning because I'm a good fucking friend, but you know, if you wanna froth at the bit for some words your way, be my guest
AH: that's not pathetic at all
AH: ...Dazzle
AH: Their name is _Dazzle_ ??
AH: ahahaha fuck that's amazing, only a fish would have a name that stupid
IA: :(
OA: a GOOD FUCKING FRIEND. My. :o)
OA: wHO TOLD YOU THAT LIE, GIRL, AND WHY THEY TRYING TO MISLEAD YOU SO harshly?
AH: Yeah, I know the concept's foreign to you, but try to understand
AH: Who told what lie, you're making even less sense than usual
AH: which is a fucking accomplishment
OA: ... aRE YOU AS DOOZY AS THE GUPPy? OA: i'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT TO REREAD, ON ACCOUNT OF THE FACT IT'S A WONDER YOUR TINY-ASS EYES CAN EVEN SEE THE SCREEn.
AH: also wow, a single sad smiley face, IA. Really pulling on my pumper strings here. Let me borrow Hadean's violin and play it for you.
AH: Oh wait, my strings broke.
AH: Fucking tragic.
DD: i am not in the tub i tried to get in and it made everything hurt and i decided to wait for the salt DD: and my name isnt stupid i use that one because its fun its actually my last name and my first one is laurel DD: so you can use that if it helps you not be a total jerk
IA: Why is every-one fighting all the time in here :(
OA: cLOSE YOUR FINS TO HER NONSENSE, SOVEREIGNs. OA: gLIESE AIN'T NOTHING BUT BILE, I AM SORRY TO FUCKING SAy.
OA: iT IS A SHAME SOMEONE SO HIGH IS SO FUCKING RUDe. :o)
AH: because we'd be bored as hell otherwise, _duh_
AH: what are you, a wriggler? grow a backbone
AH: when a seadweller's a pansy it's extra sad
AH: Laurel's a little better yeah. Also fuck you I am the _finest_ of bile, the absolute queen of bitterness, it's right in my fucking handle you blind ass.
AH: Yeah well it's a shame someone so wordy has so little to say, so...what are we gonna do here.
IA: I just th-ought this was supp-osed t-o be a fun, Empire run chat, I didn't expect t-o run int-o s-o many c-onfr-ontati-onal tr-olls.
AH: Your first mistake was putting "fun" and "Empire run" in the same sentence. I mean it is fun in here but it sure as hell isn't because of the Empire.
AH: Literally all we owe them for is making the stupid thing.
AH: Not like _they_ provide entertainment.
AH: Bunch of boring nerds.
AH: wow did everyone piss themselves in fear when I walked in or what.
SA: Hello Gliese.
AH: sup
SA: how has your evening been?
AH: I had to run around extra because somebody fucked up my lusus's water, but at least it got settled.
AH: So mostly routine aside from that.
AH: You?
IA: I ap-ologize, I'm a bit distracted between things. I'll be swimming in and -out.
SA: your lusus's water? What happened...?
SA: I am fine. I had breakfast with sipara and hadean this morning.
SA: hello, IA.
AH: And we all miss you so fucking terribly, IA, bland as water as you are...pun not intended.
AH: Nothing much, but some dumb kid knocked over his trough.
IA: Hell-o Pris!
AH: I was pissed, but judging from how they were shaking I think it was an accident, so I let them off with a cuff and a warning.
SA: how are you, IA? aside from busy.
SA: hmm. I'm sorry
SA; I hope they are. Feeling better now.
AH: Eh, probably, not like I actually hurt them
AH: They were probably like six sweeps max
AH: Not worth it
SA: Oh I meant you rlusus but yes, hitting children is often not encouraged by myself.
AH: Oh, yeah, he's fine. Luckily I had more on me, I'll just have to order extra.
AH: I also gave him some carrots, he's good.
AH: You like, don't have a lusus right?
AH: That must've been weird
SA: it was not terribly weird.
AH: Really?
SA: it was stranger when I realized it wasn't the norm.
AH: Oh lmao
AH: I guess that makes sense
SA: i was raised and cared for in a fairly neticulous way.
SA: it levelled out much of my development, I suppose.
SA; rather than being raised by
SA: ...
IA: Y-ou're quite mean AH
SA: an ibis?
SA: I think it was an Ibis.
SA: I could just be filling in, though.
SA: I genuinely don't remember.
AH: Nooooo
AH: REALLY??
AH: God you sound like Kit, except even he's learned better by now
AH: Ibises are cool
AH: Don't a lot of lowbloods have bird lusii?
AH: Could swear I heard that somewhere
SA: I couldn't tell you the statisticla information on that.
IA: Als-o I'm d-oing well Pris, thank y-ou f-or asking!
AH: Dunno, bunch of them from my town did. Even Matari's lusus had wings and it was a hoofbeast.
IA: It's fairly hit -or miss isn't it? I'm n-ot sure if I've met a l-ot -of l-owbl-o-ods with bird lusii myself.
AH: have you met a lot of lowbloods _anyway_
AH: how much do you even come out of the ocean
IA: The last time I've been in the -ocean was ab-out three m-onths ag-o and bef-ore that, nearly a year. I w-ork m-ostly -on land.
IA: I meet and talk with a l-ot -of l-owbl-o-ods actually :)
AH: yeah okay probably by sticking a blade in them or something
AH: protip: gurgling doesn't count as conversation
IA: I d-on't d-o that :(
IA: Why w-ould I d-o that?
AH: Uhhhh
AH: You're a SEADWELLER??? Y'all fucks make my caste look meek with your goddamn murder fetish.
AH: It's a reasonable assumption.
IA: I m-ost certainly have a let's-n-ot-murder fetish
AH: Haha wow that was some of the most awkward phrasing ever
AH: The fuck do you do then
IA: I'm a detective! I w-ork with the Empire here -on Alternia and l-ocal g-overnments t-o help reduce and prevent crime.
IA: F-or all castes, I may add
AH: lol yeah pull the other one
AH: everyone knows the system's rigged to high hell
AH: I mean I get it, whatever, you all want to ~do justice~ for those of us who'll still be around in a hundred sweeps to hate your faces
AH: but still
IA: It's tail-ored t-o the standards -one w-ould expect f-or -our vi-olent s-ociety, yes, but I d-on't mind n-or care what -others think -of me in a hundred sweeps.
IA: And just because -our system is tail-ored s-o d-oesn't mean I can't d-o my best t-o make pe-oples' lives easier AND better.
AH: Yeah, sure, even a violet can't do a whole lot to change a system run by tyrians. Unless you're gonna argue with them, in which case, have fun with that.
IA: Well, thank y-ou! I d-o l-o-ok f-orward t-o pr-ove y-ou wr-ong :) I have already seen the differences I've made and it's m-ore than en-ough t-o make everything w-orth it!
IA: My name is Nemm-on, what's y-ours, AH?
AH: Gliese, though you have no idea how tempted I was to tell you something stupid and see if you bought it.
AH: I mean we have _Dazzle_ in here.
AH: And the only reason I'm pretty sure they're not making it up is that they seem too dumb for that and because they're a fish.
IA: Well there is n-o way f-or me t-o verify it if y-ou did lie t-o me.
IA: Why didn't y-ou?
AH: Meh, might make things confusing later.
AH: Also you'd probably not question it and be boring as usual so what's the point.
IA: That's kind -of y-ou Gliese :)
AH: Please, I couldn't care less about your feelings, this is purely for my own convenience. I care more about the dumb kid who knocked over my lusus's water trough earlier than you.
IA: I didn't say anything ab-out my feelings, i just stated it was kind -of y-ou t-o decide against lying. I h-ope y-our lusus is alright th-ough?
AH: Kind for who, if you don't care. Also stop being nice it's weird.
AH: Even Budino being depressing was better than this
AH: You just sound creepy
IA: I'm s-orry :(
AH: and now we're back to boring
AH: is ANYONE ELSE in here before I give up or die of dullness.
OA: hONk.
IA: W-ould y-ou be m-ore c-omf-ortable if I wasn't nice?
AH: not really because then you'd be fake as hell and that's even worse
AH: I'm less uncomfortable and more wondering how anyone can be so tedious without wanting to stab themselves.
AH: Hey Riccin look it's another fish. Go kiss ass like you were hatched to do.
AH: Entertain me.
IA: I'd rather we didn't kiss my rear.
AH: aw, you ruined Riccin's night
AH: how could you
OA: sISTER, LET'S NOT BE INAPPROPRIATE WITH THE SOVEREIGn. :o) OA: 'sIDES, THINK YOU'VE HAD YOUR MOUTH ON ENOUGH FISH FOR THE WHOLE LOT OF Us.
IA: :( It'd make me extremely unc-omf-rtable
AH: lmao what
AH: I know two fish and one of those is older than dirt
AH: and the other is Canela, who's probably on another date as we speak
AH: and possibly ditching said date again if they suck lmao
AH: fun fact, Nemmon, nobody gives a shit
OA: yES, GIRL, IT IS CLEAR AS THE SKY OUTSIDE THAT I'M REFERRING TO YOUR COMMANDER. TYRIAN TITs. :o) OA: nAH, TALKING ABOUT THE VIOLET WHO KEEPS FLASHING HEARTS AT YOU. OR IS THAT THE NEW WAY OF SAYING HELLo? OA: bECAUSE IA HAS BEEN AWFULLY FUCKING SPARSE, IF THAT'S THE CASe.
AH: lmao you don't know Canela do you?
AH: she does that to all her friends
AH: she's just bubbly
OA: bUBBLY. My.
OA: tHAT'S A WORD FOR It.
IA: Y-ou're c-orrext --OA, I have been! I've been w-orking hard lately and haven't had much time t-o s-cialize
AH: lmao that went right over _your_ head
OA: :o)
AH: whatever, you weren't contributing anything valuable anyway
IA: --Oh I'm s-orry, is there an-other IA? I wasn't aware and I ap-ologize!
AH: oh my god how is anyone this dense
AH: even Riccin's not this dense
AH: I'm fucking mourning now
IA: I have n-o c-ontext f-or this c-onversati-on, Gliese.
IA: I'm afraid I d-on't kn-ow the regulars.
AH: Okay WOW I'm going to spell this out for you and then go
AH: because I'm fucking exhausted by your existence
AH: Riccin MEANT that you were sparse with SPAMMING HEART EMOJIS compared to CANELA, who uses them like they're going out of style because she just fucking does that
AH: and now I'm going, because I have shit to do and a thinkpan to maintain
OA: aND DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO PLAY FOUR SQUARES WITH BABY BLUE HERe. :o)
OA: hEAVEN FORBID WE HAVE THAT THOUGHt.
IA: Bye Gliese! :)
IA: S-o h-ow are y-ou --OA?
IA: Riccen, right?
OA: rICCIN, SOVEREIGn. :o) OA: lIKE THE FRUIt.
OA: i'M JUST JOLLY FUCKING GOOD. TEXTING MY GIRL NZINGa. OA: gETTING HER UP TO DATE ON SOME news. SPREADING THE GOOD WORD. ALL OF THAT SHIt. OA: bUT AIN'T NOTHING OF NO IMPORT, REALLy. OA: hOW IS YOUR NIGHT GOINg?
IA: I see! Pleasure t-o meet y-ou Riccin!
IA: I'm d-oing very well, thank you f-or asking!! It's a sl-ow night but a g-o-od -one t-o relax -on.

RS: | Hahahaha |
RS: | What | Are You not a Fan of Seafood | ? | =:) |
SA: pheres you put shrimp in gelatin.
SA: why in god's name did you put shrimp in gelatin.
RS: | I was Curious to See How It would Taste | ! |
RS: | Also | It is Not Just Shrimp | Obviously |
RS: | I Emulsified a Fish | for Flavour |
SA:
SA: 😖
RS: | =:) |
ID: have you... tried... it...?
RS: | You Know | If You are Coming Up to Retrieve the Gremlin | I can Make You a Plate for the Road |
RS: | Oh | No | Of Course Not |
SA: no please no
RS: | I'm not Eating It |
SA: i will have my bourbon salmon at my five star restaurant, thank you.
RS: | =:( |
RS: | Perhaps I have Poured Bourbon into This | Prisma |
RS: | You do not Know With Any Certainty |
RS: | Unless You Try It | ! |
SA: i said bourbon salmon not that I am an alcoholic.
RS: | Well | If This has a Fish | RS: | And It Has Bourbon |
ID: ...who did you. make this for...?
RS: | Is There Really a Difference Between the Bourbon Salmon |
RS: | And My Bourbon | Uh |
RS: | | |
SA: pheres... that's. not how cooking works.
RS: | Gelatin | Shrimp | Fish | Creation | ? |
RS: | Yes | Well | People Keep Telling Me That | But I have Yet to be Convinced |
RS: | =:P |
SA: i sent the reservation information, hadean.
SA: I have to go lie down before pheres stresses me out any further.
RS: | Oh | I'm only Teasing | RS: | I wouldn't Feed It to You | It was Made for Emerel's Viewing Pleasure | Don't Worry | =:) |

RS: | Oh | ! |
RS: | | I didn't Genuinely Upset Him | Did I | ? |
RS: | He is rather Difficult to Read | But I was only Teasing |
ID: i think your. creation just. upset his... refined palate.
ID: and he's had, uh. a long night to boot...
ID: so i wouldn't worry about it.
RS: | Oh | ! |
RS: | Ah | That's Unfortunate | RS: | Do Tell Him I was Joking | ? | If You Would | ? | I Hope He Feels Better Later |
ID: i'll pass the message along, he'll probably just request that you never cook him anything ever. dnw.
RS: | Hahaha | RS: | I can Cook | ! | I just | Choose to Experiment | It is More Fun that Way |
RS: | Are You Aware that You can Cook a Roast in the Microwave | ? | RS: | Or | Ah | The Revolving Radiation Machine | =:B |
ID: ahahah you might want to. post a picture next time you make something that looks nicer... so he can see.
ID: no. but i don't have much interaction with revolving radiation machines!
RS: | Ah | But What does He Consider Nice | ? |
RS: | That is the Question | ! |
RS: | Because He was Parading His Five Star Restaurant like A Badge of Merit | RS: | And I Have Eaten at Enough of Those | that I am Aware of the Sort of Things They Sell | RS: | I do not Make a Habit of Cooking Songbirds | Tragically | Sipara would Object | =:B |

RS: | Do You Cook | ? |
ID: i catch things and usually fry them on a fire. but i don't know if that... counts...
RS: | I don't See Why It Wouldn't |
ID: i dunno. i always think of cooking as... using an appliance. and spices.
RS: | Nonsense | RS: | I Mean | Yes | Spices are Lovely | But It is Still Cooking | RS: | They are Hardly Necessary to the Creation of a Meal |
RS: | Salads Don't Require Either of Those Things | And They still Constitute Cooking | RS: | | I Think | Haha |

RS has attached BONES.JPEG! It's a picture of a kitchen table that's been meticulously cleaned off and is covered in large white bracelets large enough to slip over a horn. Several have designs carved into them, and one is in the process of being carved, going by the dremel drill nearby.
ID: ahahah, just a little fight. nothing impressive.
ID: huh. that's neat. seems like a lot of work!
RS: | Oh | Haha | You are Like Sipara | Aren't You | ? | RS: | Mm | Be Careful | ! |

RS: | I am Lovely | IA | Thank You for Asking | ! | RS: | Attempting a Night Without Work |

RS: | Although | I have Captured Two Infantile Meowbeasts | RS: | One Squirrel | and a Large Snake that were All Roaming Near My Matesprit's Hive | RS: | So That was a Touch of Excitement |
RS: | Ah | Your Text says One Thing | Hadean | RS: | But Your Love of Periods | Your Use of Uhs | and Your General Hesitance | RS: | Implies Otherwise | =:P | Haha |
RS: | And | No | I Don't | RS: | His Hive is Simply out in a Rural Area | So There are a Number of Small Animals | RS: | that Enjoy Attempting to Breach the Interior | and I'd Rather Kabiir Not Eat Them |

SA: I can't believe i am getting a gremlin baby
ID: i will.
ID: that counts as something to say. what are you gonna... name it?
SA: ...I don't know.
SA: I could just. remain calling it gremlin.
SA: i could call it cupcake.
ID: well. time to think up a name before you get it.
SA: i want it to be cute.... that's all i know.
SA: it's so hideous it's name has to balance out it's ugliness.
SA: like sweetiepie gumdrop
ID: pffff. sweetie for short?
SA: Yes. Or gummy.
SA: i suppose gummy better fits you now though how many times you've been through the grinder in the last few days.
SA: how is your lip.

SA: there is a reason vigilant business like mine is so successful.
AA: laaaaaame. AA: temasek's a hole, but at least, like, the imps keep it fucking clean. >:{
SA: the only good police are in West Haven -- where almost no lowbloods actually stay.
SA: so it is moot.
ID: ...that's where we are right.
SA: 🤷
SA: yes.
SA: Unless you go to Port Solais and stir up trouble you should be fine. I was mostly exaggerating.

AA: lmfao. y, ditto. AA: thought the looks werne forn ourn grn8 looks. >:}
SA: yes they're fond of that.
SA: they will do it in restaurants too, at certain times or a tcertain ones.
SA: it isn't that West Haven is exclusively high blooded, but rather low bloods are only in it to work usually.
ID: ahh, highbloods. they never change.
SA: they do not.
SA: i still am trying to recover from the one who was
SA: very worried about my face

AA: shit, you two arne just rnegularn old pitybait.

SA: aren't we?
ID: only sips' mangled body can protect us now.

SA: 😐
SA: and then they reach for my thigh and it gets very awkward when i break their nose into their skull
SA: am I joking.

ID: 10 being she will try and claw my eyes out.
RS: | Is She on a Floor | or In a Recuperacoon | ? | ? |
ID: coon. how do i get her out.
RS: | Well | Traditionally | One could Always Try Shouting | RS: | But That is Fifty Fifty | on If She will Wake | RS: | You can Always Grab the Side of the Recuperacoon and Give It a Vigorous Shake | Though |
RS: | And That is Guaranteed to Wake Her |
ID: shaking, got it. if i stop replying assume i'm dead.
ID: good news, not dead.
RS: | Haha | Good | ! |
RS: | I assumed She Wouldn't be Quite |- That -| Aggressive | over a Little Recuperacoon Shaking | RS: | But |
RS: | You said Dead |
RS: | But Are You Free from Maiming | ? | =:P | Sleep-Addled Mauling | ? | ? |

SA: do not eat this one.
RS: | =:1 |
RS: | Are You quite Certain It is a Meowbeast | ? |
RS: | I am Fairly Sure They have Hair | Do They Not | ? |
SA: yes. This is a special kind. Made for people who are allergic to fur.
SA: a colleague of mine has one.
SA: they are also called gremlins
RS: | Oh | ! | That's a Cute Name |
SA: ... gremlin?
RS: | Also | Fitting | for an Unsettling Beast |
RS: | Yes | ! |
RS: | Say It Out Loud |
RS: | It sounds like a Sort of Endearing | Frolicking | Beast |
SA: it doesn't sound like anything when I say it but I also lack intonation 75% of the time.
SA: are you calling it Gremlin then?
RS: | Haha | No | I am not Calling It Anything | RS: | I Made the Mistake of Naming Kabiir | And | Look Where I am Now |
SA: if you do not want the baby I will take it
RS: | Oh | ! | You are Free to It |
SA: yes...
SA: but how will we get it here?
AA: | | Hmm |
RS: | I don't Suppose I could Put It in a Box and Mail It | Haha |
RS: | It would Get Cold | For One |
SA: it would also probably die as it is a kitten and requires more nutrients than an adult
RS: | ! | ! | ! |
RS: | Yes | Let's Avoid That | =:( |
SA: where are you again? I wonder if the Provenance train runs that way
RS: | Mm | Where is Provenance | ? |

RS: | | Aaah | Haha | Oh Dear |

SA: I don't think Hadean and Sipara will be here any time soon
ID: damn too bad this didn't happen before me and sip hit the road.

LL: And mean but charming sounds like an ACES aesthetic, tbh.
LL: Also, HEY
LL: How's things, GENERALLY? LL: I dodged when the FIGHTING shit started cos a) IDGI why people think it's fun to watch and b) huge attention-grabbing events are good for BUSINESS, but I hope you didn't get SHANKED or something.
ID: i'll be ready faster if you braid my hair for me sips, fyi.
AA: have yrn frnonds fallen off, arne orn you just rnly lazy? >:}
RS: | AA is across the Continent | So I am Afraid She does not Get Fed | Even on Hairless Kittens | RS: | It is Currently Attacking Kabiir's Ear | By the Way | I am Sure Everyone is Rivetted to Know This Exciting Development |
ID: no but my frond got broken if you fucking forgot. =>:P
LL: Is the barkbeast's auricular WINNING, though?
RS: | And | Well Enough | ! | RS: | It has been a Little | Ah | Turmulotous | ? | But | I did not Get Shanked | Other People were Shanked | So | RS: | It all Worked Out for the Best | I suppose | Haha |
RS: | It is Not | ! |
AA: omg, don't be a wrnigglern. brnaid yrn headfluff w/ yrn fangs!! AA: jk, jk, i'll do it, hold on. >:P
LL: Better question: did you SHANK anybody, or are you getting lessons from the GREMLIN?
LL: From LUNCH**
RS: | I would Never Shank Anyone | That'd be Improper | RS: | And | That's entirely Too Much Contact | =:P | Why Shank | when You can Smack Them Away at a Distance | with a Staff | ? | ? | RS: | Save Yourself from the Trouble of Bandaging any Unfortunate Remnants of the Scuffle | ! |
RS: | I am Getting Lessons from the Gremlin | Though |
LL: From LUNCH*
RS: | From Lunch | * |
LL: >:D
RS: | Should I be Concerned about Kabiir Eating Lunch | Do You Think | ? | =:B |
LL: And u rite, u rite. LL: That's why I just SHOOT people, tbh. LL: I've meet even TOUCHIER trolls, though. LL: One of my old mates just went full SNIPER for their specibus.
LL: And, idk, PROBABLY. LL: Does she eat MEAT? LL: When'd she LAST eat?
LL: ... Has she eaten LUNCH? >:D
LL: Like lunch not like Lunch.
LL: Gotta respect the STAFF, too. LL: Been smacked by one of THOSE way too many times to lineface anymore! LL: I think the only guy I've met that can wreck me with one FROND tied behind his BACK used one.
ID: staffs are cool. 👌
AA: staffs arne lame. >:P RS: | Treason | ! | They are Fantastic | =:B | RS: | And | Oh | If You're Fighting Often | It would Make Sense to Have a Gun | I think | But | Ah | I Feel That Gives too Much of an Aggressive Air | ? |
RS: | Especially Sniper Rifles | Haha |
RS: | | |- ESPECIALLY -| Those |
RS: | I have Kicked Her Out of the Hive for Now | ! | She has not eaten lunch | But Now | She can go Find Something | before She Eats Lunch | =:B |
RS: | She is a Barkbeast | ! | Maidel Stated They eat Meat |
AC: Ø It makes up a lot of their diet. .u. Ø
LL: I mean, MY lusus was a barkbeast, and she ate EVERYTHING. LL: Pretty sure old banana peels ain't NUTRITIOUS.
AC: Ø Barkbeasts eat anything, but that doesn't mean they _should_ . Ø
LL: And I have PISTOLS, but, hey, if that's so AGGRO that folks don't wanna pick a FIGHT with me, I ain't gonna COMPLAIN. You wanna fight me, you're gonna get a HOLE in your PAN, none of that messing around shit.
LL: Plus, strapping pistols to thigh holsters is, like, TOTALLY badass.
AC: Ø ouo that does sound pretty cool Ø
LL: The SNIPER just looks stupid. LL: I think it was longer than THEY were TALL.
LL: And eyyyy. Cool as a flame-painted ROCK. >:D
AC: Ø .n. that sounds unwieldy - hahaha Ø
AC: Ø unu the coolest rock Ø
LL: >:D >:D >:D
RS: | Kabiir will Eat Anything | If She has the Chance | She has Taken Food Off of My Plate Before | RS: | And Attempted to Drink My Coffee | Before I Invested in a Lid | and a Newspaper |
AC: Ø I'm so sorry, I keep TRYING to train her not to... Ø
AC: Ø But she's stubborn and that face of hers is so LONG Ø
RS: | So | I Suppose It is | - | Oh | ! | RS: | It isn't a Problem | She looks Very Sad | If You do not Give Her Food |
LL: But, yeah, that thing took FOREVER to set up and you basically CAN'T use it at close range. LL: IDK, everyone has their PREFERENCE, but I'm just figuring someone's not gonna be all NICE about fighting you like you'd PREFER.
AC: Ø Pheres, that's because all barkbeasts use that to con you into giving them food. Ø
AC: Ø They're adorable and can't be trusted. Ø
RS: | | Thigh Holsters | ? | Are Those a Thing | ? |
LL: Only if you're COOL.
AC: Ø I've seen cool characters with them .u. Ø
RS: | I would Carry a Gun | For Thigh Holsters | They seem Amazing |
RS: | And Very Sharp | ! |
LL: Some people stick KNIVES in em, too.
RS: | And | Haha | Maidel | RS: | I suppose I am Easily Conned | by Large Beasts | Then | =:B | Ah | RS: | I May Have Been Sabotaging Your Training | Just a Little | By Feeding Her | When She Looks Hungry |
RS: | My Apologies | ! |
LL: Why's she HUNGRY so much, anyhow?
AC: Ø xux you have but to be fair...I can't really blame you...she's so endearing Ø
LL: Shouldn't she be out getting her OWN food?
AC: Ø It's kind of dangerous to let her roam Derevnya... Ø
AC: Ø Those scary birds might get her Ø
LL: ??? LL: She's got TEETH, hasn't she?
ID: hahah no need to get her own food when she knows where to get it easy anyways.
AC: Ø I don't know what I'd do if she got dive-bombed by one of those awful pelicans. Ø
LL: Teach her to RUN, I guess. LL: Idk what kind of BARKBEAST can't take a BIRD.
AC: Ø These ones take whole trolls sometimes xux Ø
LL: Yeah, but a barkbeast's got FOUR walkfronds over our two!
LL: We're at a DISADVANTAGE, really.
AC: Ø .u. huh, I never thought of it like that Ø
AC: Ø But that's a good point Ø
ID: ...man note to never go to. that place.
AC: Ø Derevnya's nice .u. but it is very foggy Ø
LL: What, Derevyna? It's GREAT!
AC: Ø It's nicer than Temasek... Ø
LL: If you get DIVEBOMBED, you can take VENGEANCE and dive-bomb them BACK.
AC: Ø Or well I guess Temasek is nice, but... Ø
LL: There's, like, sky gliding setups and shit.
AC: Ø Ehhhh Ø
LL: What's wrong with TEMASEK?
AC: Ø Oh! What do you do in Derevnya, LL? .u. Ø
AC: Ø It, um. It's kind of really strict...and there are lot of clowns... Ø
ID: ....huh okay revenge makes it seem a lil more appealing.
AC: Ø But its coast is nice. .u. Ø
LL: I LIVE there! LL: Kinda? LL: TECHNICALLY, I live there. LL: My moirail has a COMBALLET STUDIO there, and he makes me come back because it's got a CUPE and GROCERIES.
LL: Also, my PI office!
AC: Ø oooh! That's really cool! Ø
LL: And I gotchu, clowns get all WEIRD about, like, EVERYTHING.
ID: clowns can't not be weird. it's just. their way.
RS: | Back | I am Sorry | I Found Another Gremlin | RS: | Along with a Squirrel | The Squirrel is Now In the Cage |
AC: Ø xux I know it's judgmental and all but I...don't feel very comfortable around purples...thanks to spending three sweeps around clowns. Ø
AC: Ø I'm sure some of them are probably fine... Ø
RS: | But | Yes | Ah | Wait | RS: | Do You Dislike all Indigoes | Maidel | ? |
RS: | I wasn't Aware |
AC: Ø I mean, I try not to .n. Ø
AC: Ø I'd never be rude to one of our customers Ø
AC: Ø But I get nervous Ø
RS: | You get on Well Enough with Riccin | Too |
RS: | Oh | ! | That's not Good |
AC: Ø Riccin's not purple, though Ø
AC: Ø It's...different. Ø
RS: | There's no Need for You to be Around Them | Then | Pyrois and I can Handle the Blueblood Deliveries |
AC: Ø No, it's fine. If I never talk to them, I'll never get over it. Ø
AC: Ø I don't have any call being like this when some of them are perfectly respectable customers. Ø
LL: IDK, I kinda lived with one for SWEEPS and she was a bit poncy but not THAT batty. LL: Guess the RELIGIOUS shit's pretty WEIRD, though.
LL: Also, SWEET. You can name the SECOND gremlin DINNER and the rodent can be SNACK!
RS: | Oh | All Religious Things are a Bit Tripe | AA: | But | Well | You can Come with Me on My Deliveries to Indigoes | Then | ! |
RS: | And That Way | You will have a Buffer | to Feel Better |
AC: Ø It's...not even that...I don't mind the Mirthful religion so much, I know a lot of the hymns actually even if I'm not a clown Ø
RS: | And More Comfortable | ? |
AC: Ø I'm not good with voodoos, that's all. Ø
LL: Oh, the MIND shit?
LL: There's a trick to that!
AC: Ø ...? Ø
ID: huh. there is?
LL: Every time they TRY it on you, you gotta break their SNOUT. LL: They learn real QUICK-like.
RS: | Hahaha |
AC: Ø I _can_ do it on my own, I mean, I have been. It's not a problem. I'd never let my own problems get in the way of a job. Ø
AA: y. what tealie said. >:P
ID: pffff well yeah, that works pretty good i guess.
RS: | It's not a Problem at All to Accompany You | ! | RS: | Are the Voodoos Really a Problem | ? | I don't Think I've ever Had Anyone Try to Use Those on Me |
RS: | Although | They're Perfectly Intimidating without Them |
ID: the 'doos suck.
AC: Ø Yes, but it's more efficient to split us up. I mean. If you want to, I'm always happy to have you along! But it's not an issue. Ø
CC: ...i can-n☼t be-lieve that this is what i ☼-pen the chat back up t☼ af-ter g☼☼d-ness kn☼ws h☼w l☼ng ☼f an ab-sence. CC: i feel like my cl☼wn-ha-ting sen-ses just ting-led. CC: but yes, as ll said, ei-ther that ☼r ha-ving a firm w☼rd with them, sh☼uld y☼u be cl☼-ser t☼ them, u-su-al-ly w☼rks w☼n-ders.
RS: | Oh | Well | I don't Mean to Be Overbearing | If You feel Comfortable with It | Then | That is Fine | RS: | But | Ah | It doesn't Necessarily Need to be an Issue | for It to be Something Worth Accomodating | ? | RS: | After All | I am Perfectly Capable of Handling Violets | But You still Come Along | ! |
LL: Like, REAL firm. LL: Firm as your FIST.
AC: Ø Oh, no, you're not overbearing, I just...don't want you to feel concerned? I don't like to cause any worry. Ø
RS: | Ah | Well | We will Consider It Swept Under the Rug | Then | Haha | And | Oh | Dear | RS: | Can I say Advocating Violence against Our Higher Caste Betters is | mm | Perhaps | not the Best Impression to Give to Others | Who may not Understand the Context from Which We are Speaking | ? |
AC: Ø xux plus, if it's clowns, you're usually outnumbered. Ø
LL: I'm not advocating for violence against HIGHER CASTE BETTERS, I'm advocating for violence against anybody that things FUCKING WITH YOUR HEAD is their business.
ID: clearly you just gotta fight the non-clown ones instead.
CC: is it n☼t ☼ur du-ty as the cal-mer castes t☼ p☼int it ☼ut when ☼ur _bet-ters_ are ac-ting p☼-si-tive-ly ri-di-cu-l☼us and un-ci-vi-lized, th☼ugh?
LL: I mean, don't go picking the fight if you're just gonna get yourself SHANKED by THIRTY PEOPLE, but if it's someone you're dealing with on the regular, you can't let 'em go thinking you let that kinda thing FLY.
AC: Ø xux still leaves you with a troll who has intense strength and resilience...plus they're often really _tall_ Ø
ID: aww they aren't all tall. as long as your fist can still reach their face, it's all good.
AC: Ø xux depends on if it's still attached after Ø
CC: and there is n☼-thing ☼f sub-stance t☼ be said a-gainst a g☼☼d kick t☼ the shin ei-ther, real-ly.
LL: Shit, EVERYONE'S taller than me, I'm like barely five FEET.
LL: Just means they FALL further!
ID: hahah i like ll's thinking.
ID: ps sips if my hand gets ripped off please put it on ice for me.

LL: Hey, I WASN'T gonna go knocking heads, but now I don't GOTTA. >:D
RS: | Ah | Sorry | I keep Getting Distracted | ! | RS: | I am Dreadful at This Chat Format | Sometimes | =:C |
RS: | CC | Yes | It Is Our Duty | I suppose | But | RS: | It would be Rather Unfortunate if Someone Saw Our Discussion | and Decided They Ought to Take it The Wrong Sort of Way | Don't You Think | ? |
AC: Ø And then they just injure you for it. .n. Seems more likely. Ø
ID: i mean you have work and. gremlins and stuff distracting you too. so. hard to just focus on the chat.
LL: Well, YEAH, but you're not supposed to LET them get you.
RS: | Ah | No Work Tonight | ! | I am Trying to Take a Breather | Haha |

LL: Actually, I think we both kinda suck at the BUSINESS part, but we figure it out.
RS: | Oh | Don't be Sorry at All | RS: | Emerel Brings Me Food Every Time He Visits | Haha | It is Impossible to Eat All of It Anyway |

RS: | No | Don't Leave |
LL: SUSPENDERS? LL: There was SOME jade ribbony stuff.
RS: | Don't Abandon Me In Here | with These False Allegations | Haha |
RS: | | Oh | Yes | There were Jade Suspenders | RS: | Those go On |- TOP -| Bonnie |
RS: | And They were Charming |
ID: stocking suspenders? or regular suspenders.
LL: What's even the DIFFERENCE?
LL: And, yeah, they were CHARMING, but that's not exclusive from being RIDIC. >:D
ID: uh. one holds up pants and one holds up stockings?
SA: if you leave who will i talk to when I finally
SA: oh my fucking god can i stop being followed for
SA: hang on
RS: | ? | ? | ? |
RS: | Oh Dear | =:C |
ID: punch 'em pris!
RS: | Do Not Punch Them | They may Have a Gun | ! |
LL: Dude, just climb a ROOF, they can NEVER follow you up that shit.
RS: | Yes | That is Sound Advice |
ID: wait pris has a gun.
RS: | Abscond to Higher Ground | ! |
ID: shoot 'em pris!
RS: | | Abscond to Higher Ground | and |- THEN -| Shoot Them | If You Really Must | ! |
ID: yeah do that.
ID: don't get hurt there's only so much room in the friend 3some for injuries and i have maxed it out. =:(
SA: oh.
SA: It was the orange blood from the other day.
SA: they gave me a flower and said thank you.
AS: I'm so confused.
ID: they might have a crush.
SA: they are 6, Hadean.
AC: Ø oh, that sounds...nice? Ø
AC: Ø oh .n. Ø
ID: crushes can happen early! they're just very harmless crushes.
ID: like 'oh wow this troll is cool' crushes.
SA: I wish I could have told they weren't following me maliciously. I could only tell someone was following me.
RS: | Oh | That is Precious | RS: | Did You Take the Flower | ? |
SA: also i do not need to abscond to higher ground I usually have the upper hand in combat in anyways. I could have handled them physically and then shot them.
SA: yes, I took the flower.
RS: | Good | ! | =:) |
SA: I hope they are not inspired to follow in my career footsteps.
ID: i mean. probably don't have to worry about that. does your career even have a name? or just. 'thing finder'.
RS: | If They are Orange | I doubt They Will | They are Likely Just Charmed | RS: | And Slightly Infatuated | Older Trolls always Seem so Much More Impressive | at That Age |
SA: well, according to what i read earlier, we have a PI in the chat so perhaps that would be the best way to describe it.
SA: it is much better than what I said in the drinking game
SA: and a lot less alarming.
SA: do they...?
SA: i don't remember...
AC: Ø I didn't know a lot of older trolls until I was already 9. Ø
AC: Ø And none of _them_ were worth admiring. xux Ø
SA: maybe if I think really hard i could remember that i was enamored with the idea of being a scientist for a long time because i was surrounded by so many.
SA: but i think that would just be convenient projection.
ID: i dunno, pheres is probably right. i barely even remember anything about when i was 6.
RS: | =:? |
RS: | That's Fascinating |
SA: I find it sad.
SA: not being able to rememeber is a terrible thing.
SA: I am sorry, Hadean.
AC: Ø Maybe it is sometimes, but there's things I'm glad I don't remember. Ø
ID: i mean. don't be sad. i didn't say it to make you sad. besides, i lived in the middle of nowhere. all i've forgotten probably is like. a whole lot of sand and shit.
SA: maybe a few cacti and camels.
ID: see? so of course my thinkpan chucked that junk out. =:P and uh. sorry maidel.
ID: that shitty stuff happened i mean.
AC: Ø eh Ø
AC: Ø that's very kind of you, but don't worry about it Ø
AC: Ø It feels like a long time ago now, even if it was only half a sweep Ø
ID: at least you're doing good now, right?
AC: Ø my new life is a lot better - yes! Ø
SA: it's good it is over, whatever it was.
AC: Ø I know lots of cool trolls like you .u. Ø
ID: ...ahahah, thanks. though i think i'm probably what most would consider a bad influence. =:P
AC: Ø Hadean, you don't even rank on the list of bad influences I've met. xux Ø
AC: Ø You're not bad at all. Ø
ID: i meant more in the ah. doing things that would mostly seem unwise to do way of bad.
ID: but thanks. =:) i think.
AC: Ø xux believe me it's good that you're better than some trolls I've met Ø
AC: Ø because they were the actual worst Ø
ID: well sorry you had to deal with them then.
AC: Ø they're all long gone, so it's not a problem, but thank you Ø
AC: Ø I'll never see them again and it's wonderful Ø
RS: | Good | ! | That is the Best Thing about Leaving People Behind | I think |
RS: | Especially Terrible People | I will Second Hadean's Regrets that You had to Deal With Them | Though | =:( |
AC: Ø It's fine. It's not fun to think about, but it can't ever be repeated. I'm just using them as an example of bad behavior, haha. Ø
AC: Ø I mean, what else can I call a pair of trolls who let their own pitch-feud and breakup ruin other people's lives. Ø
AC: Ø A _lot_ of other people. Ø
RS: | Mm | That is the Problem with Pitch Romance | I think | For Many | RS: | It makes People Selfish | =:/ |
AC: Ø I think they were already selfish and horrible, but I guess that's possible. Ø
SA: Pitch is a tenuous quadrant and I often think we would be better off forbidding it from non-exiles.
ID: jeesh pris, just smash the whole thing. =:P
RS: | I don't Know | Sipara Adores It | ? | RS: | But | I don't Think I can Precisely Disagree with You | Prisma |
AC: Ø I don't know about that, but I think it ought to be handled more carefully. Ø
AC: Ø ...I mean, I've never dated pitch so I don't know for sure, but Ø
AC: Ø That seems smart Ø
RS: | Can People be Trusted to Handle It Carefully | Though | ? | RS: | | I don't Know | I am Perhaps | unfairly Disinclined towards That Quadrant | Haha |
AC: Ø I have no clue. They were the only...well, they weren't even in pitch when I knew them, so ex blackrom I'd ever seen? Ø
ID: exes of any quad can get nasty as fuck.
AC: Ø So it's probably not smart to judge only by them. Ø
AC: Ø THAT's true. Ø
AC: Ø I've never dated, but I've seen it. Ø
RS: | Nonsense | I've never Seen a Bad Palerom |
ID: i just stick to flings! if there's no real feelings everything is fiiine.
AC: Ø Really? I mean, that's good if you have but they can be unhealthy too. Especially if you don't know what you're doing, I bet. Ø
ID: paleroms can get nasty with the right trolls too i'm sure.
RS: | Oh | I'm Sorry | I meant | Bad Palerom Break-Up | Haha |
ID: especially if there's cheating or something.
RS: | And | Ah | Not Speaking from Experience | But | RS: | Flings have Their Problems | Too | RS: | Such as | People Getting Too Invested | or | Misunderstanding the Circumstances | =:/ |
ID: you just gotta shut that stuff down. lay out the rules before you start actually doing anything.
ID: if it's just a one-night thing most trolls won't get invested.
RS: | | Yes | But Then | You have to Talk To Them | And That is Already Overcomplicating It | RS: | For Just a Fling | =:P | RS: | | And | Palerom is Easy Enough | Maidel | RS: | Isn't It | ? | =:? |
AC: Ø I wouldn't know... Ø
AC: Ø It seems hard, wondering if you're really helping your moirail enough but not being overbearing, and always being there for them but wondering if they really want to be there for you, and... Ø
AC: Ø Well, I guess that all sounds pretty silly. Ø
ID: pffttt saying 'this is a one-off thing because i'm not actually shacking up with a insert-blood-color-here' isn't too complicated pheres!
ID: pale always seemed the most complicated to me too maidel.
AC: Ø Oh, really? .u. okay, I feel less silly then Ø
LL: I don't get the point of FLUSH and PITCH aside from DRONE-DUTY, but at least pale makes SENSE.
LL: You're just supposed to take CARE of each other.
ID: sounds complicated to me!
RS: | Haha | Oh Dear | I suppose That's One way of Doing It | Hadean | RS: | I always Found That is not | Mm | Pleasantly Received | ? | But | RS: | Perhaps I should've Tried Putting It more Bluntly | =:P |
RS: | And | Ha |
RS: | That isn't Complicated |
LL: Idk what's complicated about shanking anyone who messes with your RAIL, tbh. Unless you need a MAP?
RS: | It's the Easiest Thing |
LC: [ Hello, are we talking about quadrants? ]
ID: uh tbh i'm not even good at taking care of myself lbh.
ID: =:P
RS: | Mm | See | That's Why You Need a Moirail | =:P |
RS: | And We Are | ! |
ID: yes yer. are you on team pale is hard or pale is easy.
RS: | But | It is Much Easier to Take Care of Someone Else | Than It Is to Take Care of Yourself | RS: | That's the Trick of It |
ID: as i've said before. i'm my own moirail, for better or worse. =:P
LC: [ YYou should take better care of YYourself, Hadean. And I see. ] LC: [ Uhm. The pale quadrant, while it's wonderful, it's... complicated to saYY. ]
SA: sorry, I was reading.
LC: [ I realize that while mYY former moirail and I had abit more complicated relation, it's genuinelYY on the complicated side. YYes, in the simplest term YYou care about YYour moirail and vice-versa that theYY are alright - but YYou need to realize that YYou might not be able to aid them or be there for them all the time. ] LC: [ As much as YYou'd... wish to be there for them. ]
SA: if it's a one-off thing then how do you ever develop something to have....
SA: oh.
ID: that's heavy. uh. i feel like i should be apologizing.
RS: | That's the Point of It | Prisma | RS: | You Don't | Haha |
RS: | And | Oh | Heavens | I am Sorry to Hear That |
AC: Ø But...if you can't be there for them how you want to, then why are you together... and is it really easier to take care of someone else? Wouldn't you always be worried that you really knew what they needed Ø
RS: | | but | Ah | That is the Point of the Other Quadrants | ! | RS: | Of Course You can't Always Be There for Your Moirail | That is Why They have a Matesprit to Support Them | or a Kismesis to Back Them Up | or an Auspistice to Dig Them out of Trouble |
SA: Oh-- I don't... think you need to apologize...
RS: | If You are Your Moirail's Only Quadrant | And They are Attempting to Rely Only on You |
RS: | Of Course It will be Difficult |
RS: | That isn't Very Healthy |
SA: it happens.
ID: i meant to yer pris, you're fine! one-off things are one-offs for a reason.
SA; Bad things happen. I am sorry it happened to you, yerman.
LC: [ YYou folks don't need to apologize. ] LC: [ AC, it was a situation that wasn't in mYY control. YYou don't alwaYYs got full control on everYYthing. ]
SA: I was aware.
ID: oh. well nevermind then!
AC: Ø I know that, but... Ø
AC: Ø I don't know, I'd want to feel like I _could_ always help them if they needed it, even if I couldn't actually be there, if that makes sense? Like...yes, life happens, but...I'd want to feel like I could have helped solve the problem. Ø
LC: [ I appreciate the sentiment Prisma. ] LC: [ Also, as RS said, that's important too. ] LC: [ And to be frank? Quadrants are complicated. ]
LC: [ YYes I understand AC, but I am not to keen on going into the specifics of mYY former situation. ] LC: [ I am also the tYYpe of troll who'd love to support and help mYY quadrants all the time, but there are situations where YYou lose contact from one moment to another, and YYou could be thrown into a hell ride. ]
SA: the only way to protect someone like that would to be with them constantly, and that is not a feasible or healthy reality.
RS: | Ah | Maidel | But | That's part of Their Responsibilities | to Make You Feel Useul | even If You cannot Be There |
AC: Ø ...oh. I mean that's not what I meant, I just...I'd want to know I could have done something...and talk about it to them later... I know that kind of thing isn't healthy... Ø
RS: | Oh | ! | Don't Fret | RS: | I understood what You Meant |
AC: Ø At least you did. .n. I don't think I'm communicating very well. Ø
AC: Ø But, I guess that's my own inexperience. I should probably read more about it. Ø
LC: [ I agree with what Prisma said. ] LC: [ Reading about quadrants and having discussions with others who got healthYY experiences with them is also helpful. ]
RS: | Haha | Maidel is Older Than All of Us | RS: | I don't Think Your Inexperience is an Issue | Maidel | =:) | Your Views are Perfectly Reasonable | ! | RS: | And | You don't Have to Read More |
AC: Ø I think Prisma is a little older than me? But otherwise yes. Ø
RS: | I am Sure Whoever You end Up In Moirallegience With | will be Lucky | just Based on the Way You are Now |
LC: [ I am not sure how old Maideal is, but alright. ] LC: [ What matters with most quadrants is communication and mutual trust. ]
RS: | Haha | Have You Had Many Quadrants | LC | ? |
AC: Ø I'm 9.5 sweeps. Ø
LC: [ Not manYY, but I had one, and got one as of right now. ]
RS: | Oh | That Makes Sense | RS: | I was Just Curious |

AM: You should listen to your friends gassy babe. I'm getting a little offended you think this is going to be so easy! If you don't take it seriously I really don't think I could take you out for closure coffee after babe. It's real rude to underestimate things, like here I am getting myself prepped in advance and such. Just. UHG. AM: I should be surprised though. Evidenced by these honies here and that you ignored your side kick the other night It makes sense. Kudos for boldness babe. Truly. Know when someone's not taking your bluffs though!
ID: i'm going to pris' place to get prepared, is that enough flattery for your overblown ego?
VC: Oh my god.
ID: i'm even getting an outfit that probably costs more than everything i've ever owned combined.
VC: We did it, we found the most stereotypical purpleblood
AM: You're bringing a suit right babe?
AM: stereotypical....
SA: Pris is alive. And I see this asshole is back 😊

VC: That's actually kind of sad.
VC: Poorr guy.
AM: babes please. The hostility in here is not making for a good vibe! I came in here giddy! My coffee wasn't messed up, the sub was on time i got extra crunches in this morning. Let bygones be bygones for a second Prisma sweetheart. Yeesh

ID: ij said he was cheap labor.
AM: NOT
VC: Ahahah oh dearr
ID: so i mean. he's a bargain paper pusher.

AM: she's a kidder. A riot really babe. It's fun. All okay. You wouldn't understand office jokes don't worry
AM. Clown...?
ID: ij didn't seem the kidding type~
AM: I take my job serious honey. I'm no clown
VC: ...I meant a Mirrthful, silly trroll
VC: What
VC: Don't you know shorrthand?
AM: Not if it's not relevant to my life sweetheart. I get you now though. Don't worry babe no. No....mirthful swindling here. Not all fresh and boring though I promise though! Hell honey I've got to keep Hadsy entertained somehow if I don't dabble in that freak cult I need a schtick right? AM: Which I have. Honey have you heard of a trump card?
ID: yeah you were talking about that last time ashy.
ID: repeating yourself isn't entertaining.
AM: it's for the new one babe.
AM: keep up.
ID: oh so you're just polishing your ego on vc i see.
AM: Sweetheart you keep saying I have an ego but listen...listen are you listening?
ID: is this you taking out frustration from all the simpering to tealbloods i assume you must do?
VC: Well, at least you'rre not a clown, though admittedly the last cirrcus I went to wasn't bad.
VC: Strrange, but not that bad.
AM: Listen babe please. Jeez. I'm saying here...I'm saying Hadsy Honey. I've got manners and I wanted this VC here to know a bit about me and I can't have them thinking I'm covered in pore clogging face paint. Okay?
AM: So chill out rougey.
ID: you just clog your pores with. cucumber slime instead.
ID: i don't know if that's better.
AM: actually it does an amazing job of exfoliating if you use some almond and rice scrub after!
AM: a really refreshing deep clean
VC: Considerr me educated. And pfft. It is. Cucumberr slime might be excessive, but it's not paint.
VC: Especially considerring how garrish some paint designs arre.
ID: sorry, i hatched with perfect skin and don't have to worry about slime and scrubs.
AM: VC I like how you think. Keep going about that. You obviously know more since I don't get involved. I've got appointments to keep and all babe. Too busy to check out those meetings they give me pamphlets for.
AM: speaking of i don't think any of them know what a copywriter is? Honey listen...do yourself a favor if you ever start a cult for your caste hire one. As a graphic designer Goes a long way or appeal babe
AM: Hadsy...I'll bring you a face mask before we fight okay? I don't need you flaking layers of dead skin around.
AM: babe listen. You can be honest about your inability to afford these things. Being charitable and kind is important to me. Really babe. I know you didn't want my chips before and your trim as ever but. Babe. Take it really.
ID: boy are you gonna be surprised when you see my mug.
AM: You haven't seen me either honey.
ID: don't worry, my expectations are low so you won't have to worry about dashing them~
AM: exciting! Almost as exciting as these faxes I need to coffee. See you babe!! Be sure to shower and let a good moisturizer soak after you apply a water activated body scrub.
AM: *need to send AM: remembered I need to get Halveas coffee
AM: AU REVOIR HONEY
ID: i mean that shit probably isn't good for tattoos.
VC: ...I don't _know_ much about it, that's highblood business. I went to a cirrcus, that's all. Marroons don't _do_ cults, thankfully.
ID: try not to dump coffee in to the machine you inept idiot~
SA: ow 😦

RS: / oh / what are they doing / ? /
RS: / or / is this an issue of existence / ? / haha /
SA: I think they are arguing.
SA: it woke me up from rest.
SA: and now my heard hurts.
SA: why is it so hard to solve problems civilly
RS: / oh / ! / I'm sorry / that's dreadful / can you get some tea / ? / that can help your head / RS: / some people are incapable of behaving in a manner that befits their sweeps / they'd rather holler like wrigglers / RS: / can you / mm / politely tap the wall / to let them know you can hear the debate / ? / perhaps it will shame them into silence / ! /
SA: mmm...
SA: Maybe, but I think all I have is black tea.
SA: it's unfortunate and i frown upon those who insist on acting like. children.
SA: If I could convince myself to move from my bed I might do that but I rather can't.

SA: i thought that caffeine made headaches worse? But I am unsure...
SA: we can lie uselessly in bed together.
SA: it seems like the day for it. It's been raining all evening in Provenance.
RS: / it is fifty fifty / i drink sufficient amounts that i get panaches if i do not have any caffeine on hand / so it works for me / RS: / and / haha / marvelous / ! / the highest form of bonding / lying bonelessly in a bed / simulantaenously as your peers / RS: / it is raining here too / ! / it is damp and cold and i loathe it / how do you stand it / ? /
SA: Oh... I suppose that could cause it then. I do drink coffee-based drinks regularly.
SA: absolutely. I can think of no better experience.
SA: I enjoy the rain. I also love thunder.
SA: My loft is high enough that I can see lightning over the city and the port, and it's very beautiful.
SA; but I would rather be inside than in the rain. Listening.
RS: / haha / I don't like either of them / but / if you're up high / I suppose that makes the difference / RS: / do your psionics relate to the weather / ? /
RS: / / / ah / no / that's an impolite assumption to make / my apologies / ! /

AA: and phern can't blame you, bc then i'd be upset, bc it's not fairn to blame you. AA: so therne.

SA: you two should eat. This can all be sorted out at a later time when you are properly sober.

ID: and you can both admire how great my ass'll look when i get my fancy fighting suit.
SA: ...Yes.
SA: if you would still like to by then.
manages a smile at the snark.
SA: You'll have to hurry and get here then.
SA: and sipara can offer tips to the tailor.
SA: for now, I should go get some food myself.
SA: I may be back later. Goodlight.
waves a little before closing out the webcam application
AA: good light!! ❤ ❤ ❤
AA: 💚
ID: light...
ID: i hope i didn't say something that made him sad.
ID: i was probably too pushy about wanting to know about him.
AA: nooo. i mean. mb? but nooo. AA: i think he's just - like -

AA: aww.
ID: there's more than two pieces in an armorset!
ID: you're like the. metal fist that hits things hard piece.
AA: good. i miss trnavelling w/ ppl. i used to trnavel w/ phern. and then my club. but they don't anymorne. and it sucks.
ID: well i'm sorry. now you get to travel with me!
ID: and i bet my lusus enjoys the break. he's getting old anyways.
AA: and lmfao. that's the best piece. the fist piece. obvs.
ID: now he travels in style.
ID: the very best!
AA: >:P
AA: .. we will have to find you, like, an actual fax rnide, too. so he doesn't have to walk places so much.
AA: and you can sleep in a trnuck insteada, like, a fucking tent.
ID: i like my tent. when it doesn't leak.
VV: ♚ ~Evening, evening all~
ID: oh no it's aspartame.
ID: did i spell that right.
AA: yrn tent is grn888. but. leaks. and -
AA: >:?
VV: ♚ ~ Ah it's the one that spreads lies.
ID: fake-sugar stuff.
VV: ♚ ~ It's very rude to do so you know.
VV: ♚ ~ And rather unfair I'd say!
ID: i'm too drunk for a victim complex. =:(
VV: ♚ ~ it's not a complex I'm just hurt...
VV: ♚ ~ And what are you drinking tonight~? A watered down beer perhaps?
ID: gasoline.
ID: or at least it tastes like it.
VV: ♚ ~ That is certainly one way to warm yourself up~ Just don't flambe anything!
VV: ♚ ~ You really should try a higher class wine or something one day darling. You won't dissolve your insides and also it's much classier.
VV: ♚ ~ Than ah....gasoline...
VV: ♚ ~ I...I do want to be sure you know not to swallow when you siphon...
ID: i was gonna ask why you were being nice but you're still showing a lil two-face so it's okay lol.
AA: wwwwwwhy do we hate hern. AA: hern crnown is qt. orn is this a dude? his crnown is qt.
VV: ♚ ~ Oh?? I'm being conversational! It's really riveting and comes off as nice you actually try for once dear ID.
VV: ♚ ~ Thank you AA !
VV: ♚ ~ I'm not super sure myself but this one's rather hostile towards me 😦
ID: noo, see sips she hides thorns in the sugar.
ID: don't eat the sugar.
VV: ♚ ~ I mean, maybe you shouldn't if you're watching that waistline but I think our friend here is capable of thinking for themself~!
VV: Especially when consuming crude, crude gasoline.
ID: is your waistline something you worry about often.
VV: ♚ ~ I don't know if I've mentioned it before or if you're simply too far inhebriated but yes I do! As a ballerina off and on season I must be well kept and trim.
VV: ♚ ~ Do you not?
AA: lmao, she is a little barnbed.
ID: i have an abnormal... uh...
ID: thing that burns calories.
AA: arne you a ballernina orn arne you a comballernina?? AA: tl;drn do you murndern ppl w/ dance orn just dance.
AA: it's a metacatolim. i am p surne.
VV: ♚ ~ Metabolism deary!
VV: ♚ ~ Metabolism is the word you desire. I see the gasoline is muddling your brain and burning your insides so you can not spell. I'm filled with fright I will truly miss you....
VV: ♚ ~ And ah- I suppose it would depend wouldn't it? I'm a prima ballerina for performing but ah we live in such a rutheless world!
VV: ♚ ~ Who knows what one can do when backed into a corner :3c
AA: lmao. omg. yrn adornable.
VV: ♚ ~ Thank you!
ID: no she isn'ttt.
AA: i'm too tirned to even sass you back. but gd.
AA: she isssssss.
AA: she calls ppl dearny. that's prnec.
ID: she just wants something. they always do when they're sweet.
AA: prnec as F U C K. like she's yrn spoopy ancestor gonna back you into a cake.
VV: ♚ ~ A cake...mmm mm I don't know any cannibals so that'd be a waste
VV: ♚ ~ You should consider it! It's a rather common things trolls want.
ID: =>:( why would you want friendship. you're fluffy.
ID: ....that makes more sense in. my head.
VV: ♚ ~ I am rather fluffy. I permed up my hair today thank you~
VV: ♚ ~ And because I'm of rouged hue and in general when one lives in the city one would desire a friend or two.
VV: ♚ ~Do you not like to have friends Hadean?!
ID: i have two friends. and they didn't just. come in saying they wanted to be friends!
AA: omgg. show me yrn headfluff.
VV: ♚ ~ I didn't do that either! You weasled the answer out of me. I was under the assumption a chat room was a place to socialize.
VV: ♚ ~ Will do let me go get my selfie light one moment!
AA: my rnail has fluffy hairn too. i want to see if it's biggern!!
AA: omg yesss.
ID: a chatroom is a place to pick fights.
ID: and lay on sipa.
ID: ...no wait that part's not the chatroom.
AA: idc don't move yrn waaarnm.
ID: i don't want to get up so it's fine.
voraciousVanity has sent CouldBFluffier.jpg
VV: ♚ ~ I'm baaaaack~! VV: ♚ ~ There you go!
AA: good. AA: and --
AA: omg ❤ ❤
AA: you arne so fluffyyyyy.
VV: ♚ ~ 💗 And I will be for the next week!! VV: ♚ ~Also I must, MUST inquire. Are you two...in the same room?
ID: nope, laying on her in different rooms.
AA: i am fixing his hairn thrnough the internwebs, it's trnue.
VV: ♚ ~ Ah. I see I see. VV: ♚ ~ It all makes sense... VV: ♚ ~ You need better lying skills!
VV: ♚ ~ How matted is his hair?
ID: it feels nice tho-
ID: my hair isn't matted stfu.
AA: lmfao. AA: it's strn8 as a stick. that doesn't matt. i think.
VV: ♚ ~ You will have to make me ''stfu"'!! Hohoho
ID: u a ho alright.
VV: ♚ ~And ah it can! If you keep it too unclean and disgusting. I have seen it.
AA: omggg, even yrn laughing is qt.
AA: LMAO.
VV: ♚ ~ What proof have you at those acusations mmm?
ID: the proof of shut up.
VV: ♚ ~ As good an arguement as I should've expected out of you..
ID: idk you're the one arguing with a drunk troll.
VV: ♚ ~ I'm truly not! I'm seeing what responses I can get from you mostly before they turn to you just drooling on the keyboard!
VV: ♚ ~ I have a little timer going and everything.
AA: aww, yrn less qt now.
AA: go back 2 being twee.
ID: the mask slips~
VV: ♚ ~ Boooo, am I not allowed to have fun?
VV: ♚ ~Hadean's bullied me so I thought a bit of fun would be allowed!
ID: it's not bullying if it's true.
VV: ♚ ~ Mmmm it's not true if you have no proof 😦
ID: is too.
VV: ♚ ~ Tell me dear sweet Hadies, spreader of lies. Why did you choose to drink gasoline tonight?
ID: peer pressure.
ID: and a game.
VV: ♚ ~ ohhh a game? What form of game ?
VV: ♚ ~ Did you lose said game?
ID: never have i ever.
ID: i don't think you can win. just get drunk.
VV: ♚ ~ I see, I see. VV: ♚ ~ I do so wish you'd purchased something better than paint cleaner however.
VV: ♚ ~ Not wine, that's for sipping...
ID: i didn't do it. sips diddd.
VV: ♚ ~ Why would this Sips person do this to you 😦
VV: ♚ ~ Rather cruel if you ask me
ID: ahahah hear that sips, you're crueellll.
SA: little princess
SA: Hadean 😊
VV: ♚ ~ Ah!! Prisma evening my honeycomb prince
ID: heyyy pris! =:) did you eat?
SA: good evening. How are you?
SA: yes. I went to a nearby place. They have very good spaghetti.
ID: goooddd. i'm good. sip fell asleep and she's heavy. i think i'm trapped.
VV: ♚ ~ I'm grand! Hearing about them drinking acetone.
VV: ♚ ~ Oh my.
VV: ♚ ~ Ah...it was nice knowing you Hadies.
VV: ♚ ~ Truly tragic.
SA: oh, the wine. Yes. I tried to play for a moment but I lost my appetite for liquor after someone brought up genetic material.
SA: perhaps you could squeeze free in a bit?
ID: ahahah sorry prisss.
SA: or stay... I am unsure what to advise 😨
SA: it wasn't your fault.
VV: ♚ ~ ....genetic material
VV: ♚ ~ Perhaps staying may be best advised as in most situations of distress it's advised to stay still !
ID: hahah she's alright for now. like a slightly coolish blanket. we can do this the three of us if you wanna when we get there pris.
VV: ♚ ~ Ohhh? Where are you all traversing to? VV: ♚ ~ 😢 I was certain I was invited to travel with you Prisma, was I wrong?
SA: oh, to... cuddle...?
ID: 😒
ID: yes to cuddle.
SA: we could still travel, little princess. I am meeting Hadean and Sipara first, though. I apologize.
SA: oh..
SA: I think it may be awkward with me involved. 😰
VV: ♚ ~ I see, I see prior business then! Do travel safe! VV: ♚ ~ That does sound rather private a matter...oh my....the cuddling.
ID: why would it be awkward? =:?
SA: I am not very accustomed to physical affection and I am rather cold.
ID: you wanted a hug earlier. =:(
SA: I wouldn't want to ruin you two bonding
SA: it's different from cuddling..
ID: we can all bond. cold is nice!
SA: they are coming to me, little princess. Not the other way around
ID: cuddling is just like... a long hug.
VV: ♚ ~ Oh my mistake! Very well. Regardless don't imbibe the polish remover like they have. It seems to be eating them from the inside out!!
SA: yes... I-well, it's different for me, im sorry.
SA: but I'm happy you invited me 😊
SA: I only drink sweet wines if any if ever.
SA: not... what they were drinking.
ID: it wasn't good. but i liked being involved. =:)
ID: and okay pris. no cuddles i guess.
SA: maybe next time we could get decent liquor... if there is a next time. I. Doubt it for some reason.
SA: ...
SA: yes
VV: ♚ ~ I have a few saved up if you wish to try some higher end brands Honey comb Prince dearest~! VV: ♚ ~ maybe even take one with you ...I almost take personal offence to...to....Hadies current poison.
SA: oh, that would be kind of you.
ID: don't get drunk with the splenda prisss.
SA: I would be sad if that was Hadeans first and only experience with wine
VV: ♚ ~ Again with the lies. Cruel...
SA: we could try some sweet wines together if you'd like, Little princess
VV: ♚ ~ If Hadies ceases in his name calling I'd love to!
SA: ii don't drink to inebriation. It's alright.
SA: he's calling you sweet
ID: yeahhh splenda. why you so cruel to me?
VV: ♚ ~ Splenda is artificial and not the best choice for sweeteners!
VV: ♚ ~ Agave would be nicer.
ID: sweet n low it is.
ID: sweet n lowblood.
VV: ♚ ~ That is fine with me I have no qualms with my hue.
SA: agave nectar...
SA: oh. What did you want to know about earlier, Hadean? Before I forget to ask
SA: it is a very pretty color
SA: reds are passionate and courageous
VV: ♚ ~And being golden is a rather lovely shade as well Prisma~
VV: ♚ ~ But I do enjoy the compliment, I do my best to uphold such honors~!
ID: ...i don't remember.
VV: ♚ ~ Asking when he's less poisoned may be best sweet Apollo.
ID: apollo.
ID: man you're stretching for nicknames now.
SA: oh-- I'm sorry. Maybe if you remember
SA: thank you. Although I am far more green
VV: ♚ ~ I suppose. Mmm allow me to rethink of a deity.
ID: i'll try!
ID: and why does he have to be a god.
ID: pris is pris.
SA: I think for the sake of imagery but I am unsure how I could be remotely worthy of that
VV: ♚ ~ I simply thought a deity reference would be nice!
SA: Hadean I should give you a nickname. Like little princess has
ID: shoot pris. =:P
SA: I don't know... but I should think very hard about it
ID: ...i'm not good at nicknames. other than pris.
ID: take your time! you'll come up with the beesstttt nickname.
VV: ♚ ~ Upon deliberation. I'm sticking with prince it goes well with my nickname.
SA: I could call you Little prince but that wouldn't be fitting at all
SA: I am littler
ID: sorry i'm tall~
VV: ♚ ~ I wouldn't feel so special if we had almost identical nick names....
SA: it has to be as brash and capable as you.
SA: no, I know little princess I wouldn't do that
ID: mm, shame that you don't know how to share~
SA: I would be disappointed if you gave me a nickname and then gave Sipara or Gliese a similar one
SA: but maybe that's expected of me..
SA: hotshot would work but it implies I'm insulting you
VV: ♚~ Share? Ohhoho VV: ♚ ~ I'm very creative I can give plenty various nicknames but only those I feel deserve one hoho
VV: ♚ ~ Hot shot sounds like a racer!
ID: why would it be expected of you? =:?
ID: hotshot sounds like it could be. weird. like. fighty.
SA: I... wouldn't want to go in great detail.
SA: but I am considered the "jealous type" more often than not
SA: encouraged to be, you could say. Protective
ID: ohh. yeah. well remember what we chatted about for that!
VV: ♚ ~ The jealous type? 0: How unexpected Prisma!
VV: ♚ ~ I feel that's a rather common trait however.
ID: i'm sure a lot about pris is unexpected. when you've only talked to him a few times. uwu
VV: ♚ ~ Which is why I intend to speak more!
SA: 💚
ID: 💚
VV: ♚ ~ What is more exciting than learning about another? ❤
ID: sticking toothpicks in my ganderbulbs.
SA: please don't I like your eyes
ID: awww. 💚
SA: it comes and goes sometimes, Perdia. But on the whole it stays. Are you a jealous type?
SA: ... to both of you
SA: I would be happy to learn more about you too. Perdia
ID: idk. i could be i bet.
VV: ♚ ~ It would depend! Ah-- I'd love to say no but truly at the heart of it all yes! I do have a fondness for not being tossed to the shadows.
VV: ♚ ~ Any troll really is capable of it. Under the right circumstances, yes?
SA: I don't think anyone enjoys being treated like an object that can be returned to the shelf
SA: I may need to enhance calm before I become salty
VV: ♚ ~ Oh of course not, it's simply a tragic thing. So a little jealousy seems rather justified in such a situation? Why would one sit back and just let fate sweep them aside dear?
VV: ♚ ~ Ah! Has this struck a nerve? We may cease if it isn't a desirable thing Prisma
SA: it would be a very painful thing, yes. Especially if it felt.... special. I suppose is the word
SA: I simply have a bad taste left in my mouth regarding someone who ... had feelings for me
SA: and conveniently pushed them aside because they believed I "could never have feelings in return"
SA: then boasted about how happy they were with the person they'd replaced me with
SA; unpleasant to say the least
VV: ♚ ~ Oh dear sweet Prisma.....
VV: ♚ ~ I thought such cruelties were only in the stories written for the stage....
SA: haha
SA: there's no need to be so dramatic. I have found out enough to believe it may be perfectly normal and I only just now experienced it
SA: I am okay. If a bit miffed.
SA: but thank you
VV: ♚ ~Oh I promise i'm not being dramatic! It's truly heartbreaking dear Prince. I suppose perhaps I also just have not experienced it then.. VV: ♚ ~ I'm pleased you're at least alright now ah...
SA: i was angry when it happened. But only a little. I am not capable of much
SA: I am happy you haven't had to. Hopefully you never will 😊
SA: you seem happy with your matesprit anyways I doubt he would do that
VV: ♚ ~ Mmm yes. He never would trust me. We're on rather friendly terms. VV: ♚ ~ I would think even if something were to go awry I'd still hold him dear and near. VV: ♚ ~ It's rather hasty to simply cut one off no?
SA: who never would trust you?
SA: your matesprit?
VV: ♚ ~Oh, I forgot a comma. I mean in the sense of...he never would and you should trust me on this
VV: ♚ ~ It wouldn't look very good on him if he did! To give up so easily. VV: ♚ ~ But regardless I won't dwell on that hypothetical!
VV: ♚ ~ Loyalty is a good quality overall.
SA: oh! That was an unfortunate loss. I was almost concerned.
SA: loyalty is a virtue. I think it is most important
ID: well it'll come back to you if it was important.
ID: by the way. what sort of clothing am i gonna be wearing once you get to dress me for this fight. got any examples laying around? =:P
SA: mmm.
SA: Let me try to find something.
ID: will do.
SA has sent ???.png
ID: alright, i'm impressed. though i could do without the guns. =:P
ID: is there a material that lets heat escape easily we can make it out of.
ID: gotta remember i vent heat like it's my sole purpose in life.
SA: perhaps. I will ask my tailor.
SA: oh.
SA: You are going to have to Deal with them.
SA: they are.
SA: Like Ashley only lowblooded and not a casteist prick.
SA: they enjoy insulting everyone.
ID: eh, i've probably dealt with worse!
SA: probably.
SA: I would hope so.
SA: they are one of the few lower blooded tailors in west haven.
SA: as a result they have developed various means of seeming unnecessarily intimidating.
ID: probably easier dealing with their insults than another tailor's snobbery.
SA: yes.
SA: And I am one of their regulars, so.
ID: ask then to go easy on me. =:P
SA: not to mention it is very hard to find a tailor that knows how to make a knife-proof and small arms proof skin suit.
ID: that sounds handy.
ID: and expensive.
SA: they are.
SA: which is why you need one.
ID: as long as it doesn't boil me alive in it.
SA: maybe we can proof a crop top for you.
SA: wouldn't that be a dream.
SA: I am sure they can think of something that will be able to work. They have much more at their disposal than what they use for me.
ID: i'll leave it up to them. worse comes to worse we chop the arms off. put in some holes in places that probably won't cull me if i get stabbed there.
SA: mmm.
SA: they may just thin the fabric around your neck and such.
SA: this tart is amazing.
ID: they'll figure something out. and i get to look dangerous and sexy...
ID: ...though knifeproof...
ID: think they can include a turtleneck in to it? like one of those skin-tight ones?
SA: a turtleneck?
ID: extra neck protection. never know when you'll need it.
SA: I suppose. I would have thought that would be the best place to leave it thin to allow heat to escape, considering the whole scarf logic.
SA: but if you'd prefer it that way I could ask them about it.
SA: It would have to be thinner around the collarbone I think to allow for mobility.
ID: i'm just interested in not getting my throat slashed open. that seems like a bad time.
SA: My own outfit is only a wound sweater underneath the jacket, but the entire thing has to be split down the back to allow for my inhibitor to breathe.
SA: i don't blame you, that would be unfortunate.
ID: it sure would. =:)
SA: I think the hardest part will be.
SA: Making it an outfit you can wear without it looking strange.
SA: that's why I prefer them. Anyone can wear a full combat suit, but very few people can make one that looks like clothing so it doesn't alarm anyone.
SA: of course it isn't as protective as a full combat suit but you get what i mean...
ID: yeah that makes sense. no need to go around all the time visably ready for a battle. that's just asking for trouble.
SA: And yet high bloods.
ID: highbloods get to break all the rules.
SA: i don't understand the ones taht wear plate armor.
SA: bullets exist.
SA: i'm sorry you cannot let go of several centuries of fashion.
SA: But it's time.
ID: pffff.
ID: seems like a heavy waste of time to me.
SA: they really do love it.
SA: I don't understand.
SA: Also troll horns as accessories.
SA: I get it, you must demonstrate you are a badass for everyone to see becaue of your fragile ego.
SA: but it is also tacky
ID: definitely tacky. and very try-hard.
SA: we should fight together sometime.
SA: as in, a tag team.
SA: not eachother.
ID: i was about to say. but hey! i'm down.
SA: 😄
SA: i suppose it would be easier to do that in a ring.
ID: i mean unless you want to go to a bar and pick a fight.
SA: Well we could but I don't know how to start a fight.
SA: and knowing you you would get the entire bar to fight us
ID: =:P i mean i thought you wanted a challenge.
SA: Well yes but not a challenge of twenty or more people.
SA: That's just.
SA: foolhardy.
SA: hadean
ID: i was joking pris.
SA: no, i have a question
ID: i might have an answer!
SA: oh, well then.
SA: where did you grow up?
ID: middle of a desert a far far ways away. why?
ID: also, yes- as a troll who has to worry about overheating, i grew up in the fucking desert. go me.
SA: oh, you're from the desert too.
SA: --
SA: I don't think the genetic lottery appreciated you very much in that regard.
SA: I was just wondering. I like to ask.
SA: why did you start moving?
ID: i mean. why not?
ID: for starters, the desert sucked. so i didn't want to stay there.
ID: and then... you run out of people to fight staying in one spot. =:P
SA: was it just... the desert...?
SA: no settlements or cities?
SA: --
SA: Of course fighting would enter the picture 😂
ID: nah. i had one neighbor. we were just so away from fucking everything. was hardly even any zombies out there.
ID: of courseeee.
SA: one neighbor? Are they still there?
SA: I have never seen the daywalkers.
SA: they're really out there?
ID: ...no... they, uh. they're probably dead now.
ID: oh yeah. definitely a thing. stay away from them.
SA: oh. that's unfortunate.
SA: hmm.
SA: are they like in the shows?
ID: ...gonna have to be more specific. but later! i need to sleep and heal and all that good stuff for now.
SA: i have never seen a small troll so happy in my life.
SA: I bought them ice cream.
TT: what flavor TT: if you say smTh like vanilla you are going To a(\/)Tually die
SA: why do you hate vanilla so much?
SA: I bought them what they liked best.
SA: it was butter pecan.
ID: guess what chat, i'm bored and bitchy so someone should give me a reason not to be.
ID: or a reason to be more bitchy. that works too.
DD: i think i would prefer to give you a reason to be less bitchy
DD: and in light of that it might be worth asking what you are feeling bitchy about!
DD: you can think of it as talking about your problems but also lets be real gossip is fun and bitching about yout bitchy feelings is cathartic
ID: pff well at least you're honest about why you're concerned. =:P i'm just bitchy because of some stuff that happened that i'm not about to share on the chat. for fear of the wrong eyes seeing.
ID: so sorry, no gossip!
DD: well thats unfortunate clearly i have no reason to keep talking to you DD: im joking of course i am sorry that bad things happened the fun part of gossip is getting together with friends to trash talk the people you dislike not the nature of the suffering itself DD: in the end it is my overall preference that my friends do not feel shitty DD: and as we have totally established we are at least on the first tier of friendship >:D
ID: you a trash talking pro then there daz? =:P i'll have to remember not to upset you. so you can't drag my good name through the mud.
ID: the first step of a long climb, you gotta be dedicated to this friendship.
DD: well okay to be honest i am not usually the one doing the trash talking unless it is in respect to my mechanical equipment some of which has developed an attitude as a result of the artificial intelligence frames i have installed to assist me with my work but that is more affectionate trashtalking like one might perform when calling their pet cuttlefish fat DD: mostly it is my friend trash talking but when i have issues i have to acknowledge usually it is me messing up like it was earlier with prisma and in those cases i just kind of go be by myself a bit because trash talking is fun but me crying to someone is significantly less so
DD: and of course i am dedicated or well as dedicated as i have reason to be which is to say you are fun to talk to and i can see myself doing so for the forseeable future but i am afraid i am not yet ready to lay down my life for you no matter how much colorful claw varnish you introduce me to
ID: man can you type. or is this a talk to text program. either way you're fast. and wordy.
ID: not saying its bad.
ID: before you get offended.
DD: i type very quickly but i am told i talk very quickly as well it is sometimes a problem but unfortunately i have a hard time telling when it is appropriate to stop because really i want to say all of the things that are relevant and i think theyre all important DD: also i am not offended dont worry you are only saying the truth
ID: and you should trash talk more, it's great.
DD: i dont really have anybody to trash talk though!
DD: except maybe the people on team jaycob
DD: they have awful taste that is quite worthy of trashing
ID: so far i don't think we've seen any of them around.
DD: the problem remains! 😦
DD: to clarify that is a sarcastic smiley i am not actually that torn up over the issue of not having a fight to pick with people and i am afraid i have been coming of as sufficiently ditzy lately that that may be unclear
ID: hahah, well. if it makes you feel better chat rooms are hard to guage that sort of shit.
ID: though some people put /s at the end of sarcastic remarks to indicate sarcasm.
DD: i feel like thats a little bit too on the nose sometimes
ID: also the colorful claw varnish is the best and you're really missing out by not going out and purchasing some that changes color.
DD: but its still probably better than a long paragraph explaining my intentions so i will keep it in mind!
ID: it's hella fun to run under different temperatured water.
ID: just use it when you reallllyyyy don't want someone to get offended.
DD: and oh dear well that is what we are going shopping for later isnt it! DD: there is not very much of anything at all to buy here in such a small town though admittedly the local burgers are delicious and its always more fun to buy that sort of thing in person with friends than just ordering it online for drone delivery
ID: because when they're already het up a long explanation can make it worse.
DD: why would people be offended?
ID: also yeah you probably went to the same burger place as i did with gliese and they had some fantastic burgers.
ID: because it can come off as...
ID: what's the word.
ID: that means you're talking down to a troll because you think they're dumb.
DD: condescending!
ID: that.
DD: and oh dear that makes sense DD: i think that was the issue with my apology explanation earlier as well DD: i was worried that i might be misrepresenting myself and i did not want prisma to think i was acting out of malice but really it came off like i thought he was dumb
DD: that sucks 😦
ID: yeah, it's a slippery slope of being understood and coming off as a prick.
ID: slipperier for you since you're a fish.
DD: !!
DD: what do you mean
ID: ....look, you know how stereotypes work right.
ID: the biggest stereotype for a fish for us lowbloods is that every troll with fins is a jerk.
DD: i have had little experience with socializing with large numbers of people DD: i have had much experience with watching tv
DD: and oh dear
DD: ... i guess i knew that i just didnt really think about it or how it might apply to me
ID: yeahhh. see you're in a position where you can just. not apply things to yourself and be safe doing it.
ID: where us lowerbloods have to be more wary and careful.
ID: better to assume a highblood is gonna mess you up. rather than trust one and get fucked up. y'know?
DD: ... yeah
DD: that makes sense DD: D:
DD: ... do i maybe come off like a person that would mess somebody else up though like generally stereotypes aside
ID: well i mean.
ID: if you were really devoted.
ID: some fish like to play the long con.
DD: the long con??
DD: i mean i understand what you mean i just dont understand why that would be something that you might be concerned about somebody else doing
ID: ...because i like living.
ID: and am also maybe a little paranoid.
DD: hm! DD: i am just asking because i mean yes i understand that i am a seadweller and this means i am sturdier than most lowbloods but also there are other seadwellers fully capable of hurting me too both physically emotionally socially and financially and in fact i have recently narrowly escaped an assassination attempt but i suppose i still do not see that much reason to be consistently concerned about somebody playing a long con on me DD: thought maybe that is why somebody tried to cull me so you may have a point in that respect
ID: hahah why did they try to assassinate you...? =:/
ID: is that what happened to your horns.
DD: yes!
DD: and i suppose it is because i am one of the two chief executives of a very rapidly successful starship tech company and there are some issues with you know brand competition
DD: and resentment because the field thus far has been dominated primarily by long-standing memebers of it an i am fairly young as well as the issue that well
iD: oh. yeah. cut-throat business, they don't like the new fish muscling in on things. i get it. i mean it's shitty but i understand.
DD: one of the other recent entrants into the field of helmstechnology development is qpin and they are uniquely known for their ruthless competitiveness though of course i cant strictly say that they were behind it
DD: though my co-ceo says it was likely them because the queenpin is the head and she has a lot of trouble in terms of competitiveness on account of being a jadeblood
DD: but all of that is politics and i am afraid that i am not particularly great at it and i have no idea who it was
ID: ...also jeesh i guess i should have. expected you to be working on helm shit since you're at the helm station. i'm kinda glad you're not allowed to talk about what you're developing now.
ID: but congrats on not dying.
ID: or becoming too maimed to continue working.
ID: sorry about the horns though.
DD: thank you!!
DD: i appreciate your celebration of my narrow avoidance of death : P
DD: also what is wrong with as you phrased it helm shit?
DD: i will refrain from talking about it if it makes you uncomfortable but i am afraid i dont understand
ID: you're the only person who is apparently willing to chat tonight so i'm glad you survived long enough to chat. =:P
ID: i don't like helm shit. it's like.
ID: the text version of claws on a chalkboard for me.
DD: truly high accolades
SA: nobody asked if they wanted me in the chat :/
DD: and oh my goodness well i will keep that in mind
DD: umm
ID: pris! sorry, i assumed you were napping.
SA: i'm teasing.
DD: i think maybe the assumption was that you were not present on account of earlier hads said-
DD: oh
DD: oops
ID: =:P
ID: 💚
DD: 💜 >:D
DD: do you maybe have anything that you would like to trash talk about because we have recently arrived at the conclusion that it is a worthwhile endeavor but i have nobody to trash talk and hads is being very secretive about the source of his miffedness
ID: yeah pris, give us some trash talk. =:P
SA: oh.
SA: um.
SA: ...
SA: this is. rather hard.
DD: unless of course you would like to join hads in the club of secretiveness which i assume is alternatively titled the club of the subjects of the trash talking being potentially present in the chatroom at a later date?
SA: no, I have no secret salt. I have made most of it known.
ID: yeah pris is a pretty honest guy.
DD: oh in that case what is difficult?
SA: I do not tend to hold on to animosity for extreme periods of time.
SA: It takes energy I do not have.
SA: I would rather reserve it for stopping hadean from getting into a bonus fight after Ashley.
SA: let me think.
ID: =:PPPP
DD: oh dear DD: see that statement there sounds a little bit like salt though maybe perhaps not the sort that is meant to be a source of amusement
ID: i need a post-victory fight tho pris!
SA: i think that it's very stupid that high bloods become very offended when I enter their space.
SA: they can't stand the idea i have as much money as them.
SA: that is sufficiently salty.
DD: also i think i understand that i tend to not hold onto angry feelings for very long but i in general am a lot more inclined to be sad rather than mad
ID: i'll take it! that's some salt. fuck them for getting snooty.
DD: and i appreciate the pun there though i am not sure what you mean DD: i dont find you offensive to be around at all
ID: the stereotypical fish daz.
DD: oh this is about stereotypes again
SA: it must be hard to live life with such a fragile ego that because someone is well-tailored and capable of pulling several thousand out of their wallet in cash, you must threaten them as much as possible to feel powerful again.
ID: do i gotta punch someone for you pris?
SA: you do not need a post victory fight you need a post-victory ice cream and bandaids.
ID: =:PPPP
SA: also dazzle I am regularly somewhat salty at Hadean. it is the spice of our friendship.
DD: yes seconding hads though more in spirit of concern rather than desire to actually punch anybody what i mean is that it sounds like you recently had a bad experience
DD: is that why hads is the saltlick
SA: yes but taht's also because he's salty anyways.
SA: ❤
ID: is salt a spice now.
ID: 💚
DD: <3< ??
ID: what.
SA: i did not recently have one, no. It just happens when I leave the loft. I live in West Haven, which is majority high-bloods.
ID: no. definitely no.
DD: platonic spade i suppose but i cannot find it in blue
DD: or purple or green
SA: oh no. It's not like that at all.
SA: I thought salt was a spice... is something only a spice if it grows?
ID: idk.
ID: daz is salt a spice.
DD: i am going to say yes though mostly out of convenience for the sake of making puns and less because i actually know
SA: oh.
SA: well that's as good of an answer as any.
DD: although on the topic of growing i can at least say acid is often used to spice food underwater so
DD: there is at least that
SA: that sounds like. hell.
SA: but i suppose i won't judge i eat scorpions.
ID: ...how does. acid food taste...?
ID: does acid impart a flavor?
SA: is it citrus-y, dazzle
DD: that depends on the acid you use i suppose sometimes it is bitter and other times it is more sour and unfortunately i cannot tell you if it is citrusy on account of i have never had a citrus fruit though it does not taste much like orange candies if that helps
DD: also it is often used to cook food not just season it
ID: huh.
ID: weird.
SA: you should try an orange sometime. they are wonderful
DD: more weird than eating scorpions?? :{
DD: and apparently also squirrels
ID: i like berries the best out of fruit. but they're usually more expensive.
SA: I do not eat rodents.
ID: since they spoil quicker.
ID: i eat squirrels. =:P
SA: horrid.
ID: any port in a storm pris.
DD: i will have to try both oranges and berries in that case maybe even a smoothie consisting of both 😄
SA: do not do that.
SA: Orange is a very particular flavor.
DD: i am taking this landdweller food thing step by step
DD: oh
DD: interesting
SA: citrus pairs well with other citrus.
ID: try orange juice.
ID: that's easy to find.
SA: lemon and lime, for example. Or Mango and orange.
SA: yes.
SA: orange juice.
ID: mango is a citrus? =:????
SA: ,...I always thought it was.
SA: "While both citrus and tropical fruits are grown in warm climates, citrus fruits refer specifically to the genus of flowering fruits in the Rutaceae family, which include oranges, grapefruits and lemons as well as certain other species and hybrids such as the pomelo, key lime and citron. Mango is not a citrus"
SA: now I'm mad at Hadean for telling me mango is not a citrus.
DD: i think i will just buy a pile of fruit
DD: and see which ones i enjoy
SA: and ruining sweeps of disbelief.
ID: ...i mean. mangos are too sweet for a citrus.
ID: was my logic.
SA: are... are oranges not sweet to you.
ID: not as sweet as a mango!
ID: oranges have that citrus taste!
SA: make sure you learn how to prepare them, Dazzle.
DD: you mean you cant eat them raw??
ID: yeah but some of them you don't eat the outsides.
ID: like citrus fruits.
DD: maybe i can go to a fruit restaurant
SA: just putting a mango in your mouthi s not the most brilliant idea.
ID: but you can eat the outside of a mango can't you?
SA: no.
SA: you also can't eat the outside of a banana.
SA: or.
SA: You can but it will make you very sad.
SA: I learned this the hard way.
SA: It was unfortunate.
ID: 'Answer: Although the pit of a mango isn't considered edible, some people do eat the mango skin. The skin is bitter-tasting, but the peel contains several healthful chemical compounds, including powerful antioxidants mangiferin, norathyriol, and resveratrol.'
ID: i have no idea what any of those words mean.
SA: so the short version is it will make you sad.
SA: healthy.
SA :but sad.
DD: i need to be healthier i think but i do not want to be more sad
DD: but maybe the health will be making up for it because honestly most of my sadness as of late has come from my health
SA: are you of poor constitution?
ID: i'll be honest and admit i've never eaten a mango. so i was guessing on eating the skin.
DD: not usually!!!
DD: i am just
ID; adjusting to being on land?
DD: not used to living on the land and everything is very dry and my gills hurt a lot and everything tastes weird so i am also hungry all the time
DD: and also everything is very hot
SA: you would probably be happier in a bay area.
SA: why they let you move to a desert
SA: Is beyond me.
ID: because of the station pris.
SA: yes, but... why put it there.
ID: close to a lowblood settlement.
DD: because it is a remote location where i am unlikely to be found again by the person who previously attempted to assassinate me and also because there is a psionic training station that is located in the area on account of it being a lowblood locale with a high psionic concentration
SA: oh so abducting.
DD: and that is very useful for my research
ID: easy to lure them away from a shitty town to be experimented on.
DD: i mean i am
DD: unsure i would phrase it that way
DD: ... the luring not the town thing the town is pretty shitty
ID: good thing i did it for you.
DD: oh dear
ID: you're poor and life sucks and maybe your lusus is dead and you're scared.
ID: some highblood offering you candy if you come to his station sounds pretty good.
DD: actually i believe most of the recruiting is done through online means
SA: a more polite way of saying it would be that it is often easier to accept being an pet and know you are cared for than it is to be free and struggle.
ID: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my point remains.
DD: and the payment tends to be in caegars and i know that is not what you mean i simply think you maybe are not representing it very accurately
ID: it's still sucky to do.
ID: most of those trolls have to choose between that and death.
DD: i mean it is also kind of sucky to work public service at a cafe but
ID: ...i mean a cafe doesn't screw things in to you.
SA: being a living experiment and test subject is very different from being subject to a screaming indigo about how their latte was not enough foam.
ID: you can leave a shitty cafe job.
SA: ...do they foam lattes...
SA: I dont know.
SA: I have the all the time, and I have never thought about it.
ID: and you're probably less likely to die in a cafe job.
ID: or fry your psi.
ID: and probably get culled for that.
DD: well i mean first of all the only test subjects are the two cerulean trolls i believe and also the people that volunteer to help me out but that part is not mandatory the main purpose of this station is to prepare trolls that have been conscripted for helmservice for an easier transition upon ascension and also accept anybody that would like to volunteer for the service without conscription not
DD: testing things really
ID: yeah well i bet if you asked a lot of wrigglers why they volunteered.
ID: you'd get a lot of 'i didn't have any other option' answers.
DD: hm
DD: i guess i do not know
SA: does it not
SA; unsettle you.
ID: you sure don't! but the first step is realizing you don't know.
SA: that our ships are using an archiac biotechnical method of power when we could built a technical system or a disocnnecting system for them.
SA: My pilot training used my inhibitor to join and disconnect me from a ship without hurting me in the slightest.
SA: and yet this isn't the norm.
ID: man you also hear those stories about them chopping a helms' fronds off.
ID: since they don't need them for anything.
DD: well as a starship technician i kind of have to argue your useage of the word archaic because the biotech we have developed is currently eons ahead of our purely mechanical methods of transportation which are heavily limited by both fuel systems and speed and also i am not sure that you are hearing accurate stories about limb removal that is definitely not a standard practice and would probably be actively detrimental to the process and helmsman adjustment and biowire integration DD: as would be constantly placing the pilot into painful situations upon connect and reconnect though maybe that may be the case withoutdated systems??? DD: the point of helmsman system design is to ensure a fluid and efficient connection
ID: ...huh.
ID: i mean tbh i never really paid attention to schoolfeeding about helms since. you gotta figure that stuff is just propaganda to make you think it's great.
DD: a decent amount of it probably is but that is the case with all fleet propaganda!! which is not necessarily a bad thing to be honest if you ask me personally because focusing on the negative aspects of a situation is never going to motivate anybody when you think about it regardless of what the job it
ID: i mean the ratio of cons to pros of some jobs are a lot easier to swallow than others. =:P
DD: that is very true DD: i would not want to be a garbage person i am not ashamed to admit this
ID: and i like walking.
DD: or a fighter like sipara i am fairly sturdy but i do not like being attacked
ID: if you could not tell by my adventurer lifestyle.
ID: and you can say that i can explore wayyyy more stuff in a ship but i'm pretty sure it is soooo not the same.
DD: haha yes that is true i suppose i do not consider it much considering i am both very fond of swimming over walking and also my experience on starships as a nonpsionic troll involves not very much walking anyways
DD: partially because i am stuck in my coon trying to adjust to orbit but also primarily because there is also not much room to walk
ID: ...i guess since i've already dived in to this ball of squick i might as well ask since you'd know best.
ID: does like. your kind of psi make you better or worse or not usable for a helm?
DD: yes very much so!
DD: there is a psionic ranking system of course in terms of the amount of raw power available but also the type of psionics make a difference for example cerulean psychics and indigos are not functional for ship powering at all and varieties among lowbloods that exhibit nonphysical properties such as clairvoyance are typically not high enough on the actual kinetic energy production to be able to power a ship with any efficiency as conversion to a useable power source is often very inefficient and also takes up energy in the process which rather defeats the point
DD: for example telekinetic type psionics tend to be the most effective for helming while more psychically oriented powers are not
SA: sometimes hybridization allows multifaceted psionics but it's also very rare in natural occurance.
SA: i can pilot a starfighter with my telekinesis as long as the ship and my inhibitor are programmed to allow the link through.
Sa: But an entire ship wuld be beyond me.
SA; and for the most part starfighters rely on a psion's ability to generate shields and manipulate other variables for a quicker reactions time, but not flight itself.
DD: there are also augments that assist with that!
ID: hahahah okay can this be enough helms talk now.
ID: i've exceeded my comfort zone.
DD: that is part of what the psionic training facility that i am part of helps with-
DD: oh dear my apologies
DD: i will stop!
SA: 😃
ID: i mean i asked so it's fine.
ID: just. new convo now plzkthx.
ID: ...i mean i should volunteer a new subject huh.
ID: pris did you have dinner?
ID: both of you for that matter.
ID: miss hungry because i don't eat.
SA: ...
SA: maybe.
ID: =>:I the ice cream you had earlier isn't dinner btw.
SA: i had a fruit salad.
DD: dinner??
DD: ...
DD: oh dear
DD: i am afraid i lost track of time
DD: i was going to say i did have dinner but that feels as though it was a long time ago and it occurs to me that that may have been dinner yesternight and it is possible that part of my discomfort with my health is because i am actually very hungry
ID: i'm gonna make you both set alarms to eat. =>:(
ID: a fruit salad and ice cream isn't enough for a night pris.
SA: mrmrm.
SA: I'll be back in a bit.
ID: if you get lonely while eating call sips' mobile and i'll steal it to vid chat. =:P
SA: well I may as well call it now then.
SA: i am.
SA: go find it.
ID: woofbesat, fetch. i see how it is. =:PPP
DD: i unfortunately tend to not notice my alarms it has been somewhat detrimental my friend used to ahve somebody come pull me away from my work and i thought it was sillybut now i am realizing it was probably very necessary
ID: get one of those bracelets that vibrate as an alarm.
ID: they might work better.
DD: but also that is my cue to go find food before i keel over and die so goodbye it was lovely talking to you and also that is a good idea i should find one of those
ID: ...damnit now the chat is empty again. =>:(
VC: Not quite.
VC: I'm taking a rrest on a courrierr trip, what's everryone else up to?
ID: uh i sent all the hungry skeletons off to eat because they all forget or think that a fruit salad is a meal.
ID: so they're doing that. and i'm just sitting here twiddling ym thumbs and watching pris eat on vid-chat on another mobile.
ID: ....is it rude to text someone while watching another troll in a vid chat.
SA: i'm talking.
SA: asshole.
SA: that. that wasn't serious
VC: Oh, I don't think I've met you before, SA.
SA: Hello.
SA: I am prisma.
ID: =:P i can multitask pris!
VC: I'm Cennef. And you and Hadean apparently know each other well, I take it?
ID: yeah we're buds.
ID: pris is cool, so be nice to him. =:P
SA: cennef. it's nice to meet you.
VC: He's yellow, what reason do I have to _not_ be civil?
VC: It's not like he's one of this room's silly highbloods.
VC: You seem well-mannerrred, so I agrree in turrn.
ID: he can speak kinda highblood-y sometimes but it was just how he was raised so don't pick on him. =:P
VC: Mannerrs and phrrassing of some things isn't an exclusive highblood trrait. I harrdly would.
VC: Pherrres talks like he's trrrying to sound cerrulean sometimes and that doesn't botherr me.
ID: i mean glad you understand that. some lowbloods get so offended when you use a 'highblood' term!
ID: like saying tub is gonna turn you blue.
VC: Ha. I may not carre forr highbloods, but - oh _rreally_
VC: Using theirr language isn't exactly a sin.
VC: That's rridiculous.
ID: you've never met a lowblood who got all snooty with you over it?
ID: the 'uhm, did you mean ABLUTION TRAP?' types?
VC: I suppose I have now that I think of it, but they arren't exactly trrolls I spent a lot of time arround.
VC: My ex quads werren't like that at all, norr arre any of my currrent frriends.
ID: wise move. there's having a grudge against highbloods and then there's overcull.
VC: I rreally only have a grrrudge against _one_ highblood, but I do lack fondness forr them in generral.
SA: i overcull teal bloods.
VC: Though perrhaps it might be prrrudent to stop talking about it in case any of them do come in.
SA: they have always patronized me.
SA: 😉
VC: Pfft, what
VC: I know you'rre joking, but I don't rreally get it
ID: hahah, it's a chat thing. we joke that teals are the worst because they're in the middle so they lash out more.
VC: Ohhhh
VC: To be honest, I have only met one tealblood outside of deliverries, which don't rreally count.
VC: He was...verrry odd.
ID: that's a tealblood for you.
VC: Well, he wasn't a lawtroll orr anything. He was some sorrt of perrforrmer.
ID: ...huh. was it the dumpster troll.
ID: ...do you know what i'm talking about. probably not.
VC: ...he cerrtainly _belonged_ in a dumpsterr but otherrwise no, I do not.
VC: Mine talked like some sorrt of flowerrry idiot and called himself barrd.
VC: Is that what this dumpsterr trroll did.
ID: yes!
VC: Oh my god.
SA: why is there a known dumpster dweller.
ID: he got ceruleans mad about historical bulge piercings.
SA; what dessert should I get?
VC: _Oh my god._
ID: and they threw him in a dumpster.
ID: ...the fluffy one.
VC: For once. I am on the bluebloods' side.
VC: _What is wrong with him._
VC: Correction.
VC: How many things arrre wrrong with him.
ID: and then he started dueling them in the dumpster.
VC: Though I'd probably be -
VC: _Highbloods._
ID: until someone came and rescued his hide.
ID: it was hilarious.
VC: That's completely rrridiculous.
ID: it was. but that made it hilarious.
ID: so what are you delivering...?
VC: Sorry, I was getting back on the road. I have my phone on talk-to-text now. It's some sorrrt of book collection for this olive.
ID: you're fine. how are you traveling? and that sounds. boring.
VC: Haha, I have no clue. They could be about stunning adventurrres, for all I know. I don't usually get told the details of what I deliverrr, unless they'rre imporrtant forr trransit.
VC: I rrride my lusus.
VC: She's not exactly a hoofbeast orr anything, but she can go at a decent pace with a trroll as small as I am.
ID: heyy a troll after my own pumper. though my lusus is a variety of hoofbeast.
VC: Ohh, what kind?
ID: antelope kind. but one of the big ones. he can carry me and my stuff no problem. and we have similar rocking racks.
VC: Pfft. Do you now.
VC: I have decently sized horns myself.
ID: about time. like this chat is mostly nubhorn central.
VC: I can prrrove I am not nubhorned.
VC: Ignorre the goofy exprression, this is just what I had on frrond. Also unforrrtunately I should pay attention to the terrrain now, it's getting rrough.
ID: huh. sorry i've not got an image right on hand to share. and i'm not in the prettiest shape for selfies, so you'll just have to take me at my word. =:P
VC: Haha
VC: Well I fully expect one laterrr
VC: But underrstandable - ow
VC: I rreally _should_ stop talking, dammit
ID: your lusus bad at navigating?
SA: the fluffy one
SA: that didn't tell me anything...
ID: point the camera at the menu for me.
SA: there...
ID: uhhh. the lemon tart thingy. since you said you like citrus.
The city of Himmel was alive as always, people moving about streets and such like a well maintained circulatory system. A few stragglers here or there taking short cuts through an alley way or two but for the most part trolls were highly aware of what they were about or where to go. The city was a few hours treck inland of Provenence and meant more so for trains or cargo of any other sort.
A large lake parked off to one side bringing in decent temperatures so citizens didn't have to be baked alive on concrete streets all the time. Beyond that the buildings were tall and majority of shops seems either staples or odd attempts at being hip and ontop of newer trends.
Contemporary.
Speaking of which a particular indigo stood with his own little acoustic guitar behind one of the shops, a ritzy coffee shop that offered you whatever your little heart could desire! Although an alley way behind it isn't exactly as....glamorous as the interior of the shop but oh well he'd already set up the time and date for his own little private meeting and sent these co-ords to his favourite maroon.
Leaving Ashley to carefully leave his jacket folded off to the side, sleeves rolled up, hair perfectly coiffed as usual, and waiting patiently while playing on his phone. Pestering Hadean occasionally as well for 'being late' when it was actually still not quite the meeting time anyway. He was just THAT particular.
rebatrolls-05/17/2017
Traveling to a fight was quickly becoming the worst part of fighting, in Hadean's eyes. Why couldn't everyone just live in the same damn area for easier punching convenience? Between waiting for Sipara and Laledy to get sprung from jail (He was still a little salty, but the amount of time they'd been stuck there had dulled it quite a bit,) figuring out where the fuck everyone was going and how they were getting there... It was a mess. But hey, they all got there in mostly one piece. Maybe a little windblown, but what could one expect when they rode on a damn bike? At least didn't get stopped by any legislacerators, Hadean considered that a sign. Clearly fate itself wanted this fight to happen! And Hadean wasn't about to question a little bit of luck when it was finally working out to his advantage for once. The coordinates and photo Ashley had provided seemed to match up with the location Hadean found himself at, he noted with a little bit of relief. He hoped he didn't look too eager for any waiting purple eyes as he hopped off Prisma's bike, trying to work out the kinks from sitting on it for so long. It was time to get pumped! After all, this was a damn redemption fight. He had something to prove to the world here. Once he was sure his legs weren't about to fall off he decided to take point, heading in to the alleyway while leaving his friends to do... Whatever they had to do with motorcycles. "Be right back, won't start the fight without anyone~!" Finding Ashley wasn't too hard at least, Hadean was sure he could spot that damn hairdo from a mile away. But why did he look like he got lost on his way to a guitar jam session instead of waiting on a fight? "Is that a fucking guitar? I came for a fight, not to join hands and sing kumbaya." He was a little put out by how much effort he had put in- he had painted up his mug for this? Well, he guess a fight was a fight. "We're gonna have an audience. So that, like. No one culls anyone. Okay? Good."(edited)

"I don't believe that--" He barely managed to get it in before Hadean's sharply dressed self (Prisma had to admit, he was still patting himself on the back for the decision to send him off to the tailor, even if he did get him chewed out for drinking) disappeared around the corner. There's a heavy, deflating sigh that leaves him, shaking his head in a what can you do sort of way while kicking the stand up and arranging it appropriately within sight of the alley. His gloved hands linger on it far longer than they should, eyes staring blankly into space. This was actually happening. Hadean, in all his overly rambunctious ways, was dragging himself into yet another unnecessary fight. Yes, he had an explaination... but that neither justified or made sense of it. It was a bandaid on a festering wound of mentality, and it takes so, so much effort to follow the red blood. There's a twinge of irritation, too, with the crackdowns and the arrest of Sipara and Laledy and everything else. It was foolish, the entire thing was foolish. He didn't understand the sense -- or lack thereof -- of the entire thing. And, furthermore, there's a blood-simmering spite that wells up from his stomach when his eyes fall on Ashley finally. But it was Hadean's fight, and the last thing he wanted was to intervene in a way that made him feel weak or childish or anything else. Instead, Prisma folds his arms, leaning against the alleywall and keeping a venemous gaze on the indigo. There aren't even words to offer up to Hadean's opponent -- the only things he has to say are bitter and acidic. "Make sure you trash him, though, Hadean," The cheer in his voice at addressing his favorite was... unsettling against the contrast of his expression and attention to Ashley.(edited)

Honestly, by the time Boopis was done schmoozing the policeradicators, Sipara had sort of expected Prisma to have put a stop to the fight. But no: a few hours later, she's snickering as Laledy staggers off of the bike, and everyone's standing in the shady-ass alley of some bougie coffee shop. As far as things go, it wasn't the worst place to fight! It's secluded enough to keep people out, quiet enough not to draw eye, and big enough to fit everyone in. Mostly big enough. That guitar was taking up enough room for a whole 'nother person. Whatever. At least Hadean looked nice. And the purple was gangly enough that.. she was pretty sure he could take him, if he didn't break out the voodoos. It was a glib thought: of course he was going to have 'em, he was a fucking indigo, and this was a fucking wretched. Why didn't Prisma just cuff him to the damn bed? Sure, Hadean would've howled about it. But if he wanted to fight highbloods so much, he ought to at least be making money. There's no reason to sulk, though, not when the fight was right there. And if he dropped vooodoos.. well, at least Lal wouldn't be bothered. "Yeah, no culling, that's not fucking sportin'. Hey, Hads, don't forget to go for the horns~," she called, sliding in next to Prisma, and tugging Laledy along. (Tugging was a strong word for it, when she was practically glued to his arm. He couldn't see. She had to be helpful.)
Fawnprince-05/17/2017
Ashley wasn't exactly please by any means at the commentary. Where was his jovial cheering on the sidelines? This wasn't exactly fair in any sense of the word....Really all Halvea told him was to not die since she couldn't be assed to get a new secretary right now and that he had a lot of work to catch up on when he got back considering the timing. Blah blah, he let's out a sigh. He'll just have to be his OWN hype then! He puts on the cheesiest smile he can, beaming and whips his guitar around to his front. " Course babe, we can't have a good jam sesh without an audience! There's more than I was promise but that's fine sweetheart. " Ashley's eyes dart up and down a bit, taking in Hadean's attire and appearence before leaning to the side a bit to check out his little crew. Sneering for a moment at the discombobulation of everyones outfits. Really they at least could've all dressed somewhat similiarly. oh well. He's just pleased Hadean isn't in say....sweatpants. God he'd just LEAVE if that was the case. " Glad you clean up real nice though Hadsy, really does a boys pusher some good." A hand is placed on his heart for some dramaticism then put back on the strings calmly strumming out a few little chords as he double checked it was all nice and tuned. But truly he was wanting get a gauge on reactions for just a sample of his powers. Not good to go in blindly of course with all your eggs in one basket. He sang out each note a bit for each strum, double checking and harmonizing each properly.
rebatrolls-05/17/2017
Hadean knows his friends aren't exactly happy about his chosen fight. But in his eyes they were just being wrigglers! Sure, he was a purpleblood. But it wasn't like he wasn't aware of the dangers! Hadean knew how much muscle a highblood could pack, even one that looked like a beanpole. He was prepared, his psi was fully charged, and he was ready to rumble. He kept his scowl up at sweetheart, chin raising at that stupid smarmy smile. Maybe he could knock some teeth out. Give him a fat lip to remember him by even, that sounded fun. The sneer that lit Ashley's face was just another nail in his coffin in Hadean's eyes. Of course he was going to curl his lip, but Hadean knew they were all awesome. "Fucking precious diamond in the rough right here, just needed some polishing." He kept his voice dry, focusing momentarily on solidifying energy under his clothing as armor. It was a trick he had used before with Emerel, but he knew Ashley would need more if he went swinging fists. Hadean was just hoping a paper-pushing purple wasn't as skilled a fighter as his last opponent. He's confused why the fuck he has a guitar, and why he's playing it. Did he miss something? His thinkpan skips a few beats though, with each strum. What was that? Were those voodoos? Hadean wasn't used to this feeling, more familiar with the bog-standard clown. But if he was feeling voodoos, he figured that meant the game was on. And against highblood endurance, he wasn't looking to draw this out. He moved forward, focusing his psi to his hand in a familiar weapon- a staff probably wouldn't cull. If he wanted to keep his hands busy with the guitar, Hadean was more than happy to go swinging for his knees.
Fawnprince-05/17/2017
Oops he either got tired of Ashley killing time, or he struck a chord. ( OHHOOHOHO) But regardless he wasn't stupid enough to stay still, he'd tightened his strap enough before hand to make moving a tad easier. It does cause a momentary cease in strumming but you can't stop his mouth. Can't even stop his mouth in regular situations why would he stop it when it mattered? He lets out a little chuckle, hurriedly stepping back, but not catching the swing quite fast enough to dodge effectivley. Whatever little hop he'd tried was just barely enough to make sure his knee caps weren't harmed but did get a fair amount of hopping out of him as ankle got caught. A hiss leaving his mouth. Chuckling again he strikes back up another hum, strumming a few chords again but louder and more rhythymacly. Starting up his own little diddy. " Ohhhh~ Dear little Hadsy~ That'll sure be the night when you actually land a swing! That'll be the night oh yes! When you actually land a hit it may even be next sweep we just don't know but it'll be quite the night honey!" He even decided to throw in some little dance-like movements in, distancing himself from Hadean without making a run for it.
rebatrolls-05/17/2017
Hadean is a little satisfied when he gets his chuckle to turn in to a hiss. An ankle hit wasn't what he was going for, but maybe it would slow Ashley down. Hadean didn't know what he was doing with the guitar- why wasn't he fighting? He didn't get it and it made him wary. Was this just a game to him!? "How about you stop fucking singing and fight!?" That comes off a bit more snarly than Hadean meant for it to be, but he was getting angry. He came here to beat a troll up and feel like he regained some dignity after his last fight. He didn't come to be toyed with! The dancing does not help either, and he isn't going to tolerate the space. In his mind, if Ashley wanted to be an annoying little pipsqueak, he'd hit him until he changed his tune. (Heh.) He goes for another swing, but a motion that he's done countless times before suddenly feels off. He doesn't understand why he's swinging inches away from where he had targeted, why his aim was so batty. Was he in his thinkpan? How? ...Was it the music? He didn't know if that was a thing. He pulled back a distance just to watch him, weighing his options and trying to see Ashley's next move.(edited)
Fawnprince-05/17/2017
If he could, he would start laughing outloud non-stop. Really! Look at this, that miss, that request? Even that smidgen of confusion he's got going this is everything Ashley was hoping to get out of this. Hadean needed to learn a little respect for this 'paper pusher'. He was moving UP in the business world, but not even that! He wanted to show Hadean what he actually had a passion for. A little rock n roll~ Apparently he hadn't dropped enough hints back when they were planning this whole tiff out. Unfortunate! Ashley wanted to actually give him a little fair warning but by looks of it....well... " Hadssyyy HADSY Of course I'm fighting~! Hadean babe, everyone fights some how..Inside...outside~! Themselves--" Ashley really didn't like the distance between them anymore, seeing as Hadean had backed off too. He made sure to start moving closer, almost tempted to get so close as to try dancing with Hadean even. Would that be too cheeky...who knows! Whatever he's going to try leaning back and continuing to serenade the maroon. " Don't you like this little song I wrote for you oh Hadean~?"May 18, 2017
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean decides it has to be the music. He's too smug about his little jeers, they mean something. Like the worst subliminal thinkpanwashing in advertisements ever. His blood is boiling at that look on Ashley's face, how proud of himself he seems to be. But if it's music, just blocking it out should work ust fine. Summoning up his psi was harder than it should be, it felt like his thinkpan was moving through sludge. But if Hadean was anything, it was stubborn. It took him longer than he would have liked to form two maroon shells around his ears, psi solidified to block those vemon-laced sound waves. Thank god for the amount of maroon he was already wearing, he didn't have to worry about Ashley crying that he clashed. Being blocked off from sound wasn't exactly something Hadean did often, but he was willing to do what it took to win. And if his next swing with his staff was a little more vicious than the first few, well. Ashley deserved it for being smarmy.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
" OHH~ GAH!?" Before he could break into further singing the colliding staff stop him. Breaking the voodoos flow and forcing him to stumble off to the side. Ashley takes those few precious moments of balance regaining to be confused. He didn't TELL Hadean to hit him. Why would anyone allow themself to get hit in a fight?? He's not THAT desperate yet. God that'll leave at least some bruising what the fuck dude. Once rebalanced he spins on his heel a bit to glower at the psiionics user. Earmuffs? Really?? Rude! Rude as ever. Knowing it was useless anyway Ashley still decided to yell out his frustrations. " I go to the trouble of serenading you with a song babe and this is what I get?! Winter wear?!" Well. Whatever. Maybe he's just not loud enough. Ashley had doubts about hadeans psi as he did most lower hues. He'd never tested that theory until now really but ehhhhh it's fine. Right? With increased gusto and mezzo forte he picks right back up on singing. Hands playing rapidly, not ready to give up.
" Dear Hadsy~ won't you take those off and play nicely~? "(edited)
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean got way too much satisfaction at that nice solid contact. He almost wishes he could hear the moment his singing turned in to pain, but the sight of him fumbling would have to do. He grins back at that glower, letting his enjoyment at hurting him show bright and clear. Hadean didn't mind letting him know he was enjoying his pain! Maybe it'd even unnerve the shouting little prick. Hadean let him go back to singing, deciding to go sly about this. He thought he was too good to fail, Hadean was happy to use it against him. He had no idea what he was singing, but he hoped it was something to get him to stop swinging. He let his staff droop slowly, let himself play possum as he let the staff fade so he could take some slow steps towards Ashley. He let himself wobble a bit, head tilting as he tried to gauge how well Ashley was taking the bait. He just wanted to get close enough to give him one good smack. In the nose, preferably, but... The throat would work to quiet him up, wouldn't it?
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Watching Hadean closely Ashley kept up his playing. Growing more and more excited as he got pretty into his song. Leaning towards the maroon blood as he bellowed out each lyric. Watching. Waiting. Observing to see if he'd follow proper prompts. Eyes ever so slightly tinting with a ruddy hue when prompt after prompt is unfulfilled. So, whats a troll to do when his audience is ignoring him? The obvious of course, he rears back for a moment and headbutts him with full force. Yeah sure it'd stun Ashley a bit with recoil but hey it wasn't his hands or voice so that's what mattered to him. Him and his poor half baked plan of action. " Listen up Hadean! I'm not at the climax yet it's rude to skip out like that sweet heart ! Playing me for a fiddle. Real mean honey" he didn't sing out that portion. Wasn't even sure if Hadean could hear it but ahhhh his ego.
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean wasn't prepared for a headbutt. Who went ramming their skull in to people? He was busy watching his limbs and considering maybe Ashley using his horns, not... That. It sure as fuck hurts! But at least he doesn't get him in the face, Hadean wouldn't have appreciated being the one with the broken nose. He snarled out a curse though, taking a few steps back just to try and get some distance. Try and assess the damage and be thankful he had a nice solid skull on him. But he sure was getting sick of Ashley treating this like some sort of damn game. His next snarl has a lot more edge to it, lips curling back to show off his teeth. Hadean had been trying to play nice, but that was over. He was going to make Ashley take this seriously. He flexed his fingers as he drew up his psi, staff reforming before it expanded in to a razor-edged battleaxe. It was about as close to a default slashing weapon as he got, and he hoped as he swung it that Ashley would wise up and stop his damn singing.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Oop. Ah well guess he still can't hear, unfortunate Ashley was hoping this could've been resolved without gashes that threatened his wardrobe. He weighs his options here on what to do. Goal number one would be to get him able to hear again, and goal two is to keep his own wardrobe safe. The sweater was real cashmere he can't ruin it! Taking a deep breath Ashley rests his arms on his guitar and looks around the alley way for a moment before quickly kicking over a trash can and getting it rolling towards Hadean. Honestly not the most graceful or whatever thing to do in this situation but. Well. Hadean didn't need to know he didn't exactly HAVE a strife to summon up. It's not every night someone is actually able to cover their ears effectively on the spot. Also just to mock Hadean he stops singing but whistles a bit instead.
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean wasn't pleased when Ashley decides to kick a trashcan at him- was he still trying to play!? Hadeanw as getting himself awfully riled up on the idea of not being taken seriously, he was damn sick and tired of it. And sick and tired of that guitar too. He has to dodge the trashcan, frowning at the distraction and trying to redy himself for a follow-up attack from the yuppie purpleblood as a plan formed. If he wasn't going to put the damn guitar down, he'd ruin it. With that idea in his head, the next swing of his axe was aimed solely at that stringed instrument of douchbaginess.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Despite every part of his mind saying move FASTER, he just doesn't. He moves as fast as he physically can but it's just not enough. Swiveling would've been faster to move his percious instrument out of the line of fire but why would anyone willingly turn their back to an axe? He really does enjoy having an intact spine, it's pretty great! The sound that errupts from the splintering instrument is top tier, stock sound. Twanging of strings and smashing of wood. It's not a cheap guitar, no but really even ironwood would struggle to take a direct axe hit surely. The momentary silence from Ashley that follows is pretty horrowing however as well. " Ah.....AH....." He stutters to find words, looking at the masacared, what he considers, CHILD OF HIS. Then comes the horrible scream as he pulls his strap up and off his head to let the wood fall down with a few clangs and clunks.(edited)
Vii-05/18/2017
This entire "fight" was a farce, and it's enough Prisma has to refrain from dragging his hands down his face in embarrassment. Even with the attempted psionics - voodoos, for indigos? - it was... humiliating. And blood boiling, once it began escalating. Certainly he didn't want Hadean in any sort of fight, but to be in a fight where the other wasn't even willing or able to use a weapon? There's a low hiss that escapes between his teeth, prompting him to take a step away from Sipara and Laledy. Hadean was turning this into a real show, and he didn't want to be there to pull him off this Indigo pissbaby when they finally cracked over their guitar-- It's just before the scream that he whirls on heel, striding back to the entrance of the alley. At first. For air, but there was something... there. With the crack downs, it was probably police but --? Why would they be surveying Himmel? it seemed quiet enough. He should go back to the fight but Sipara could surely handle... Hadean would be fine as long as he could -- and there it was again. A hot flash down his spine, Something was watching them, and he abandons the alley entirely to find it. Surely the police didn't come back for Sipara and Laledy? Or did their hounds detect Hadean?
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Ashley looks back up at Hadean, essentially tunnel visioned at this point. There's no strife to summon, and he can't use his voice. But if Hadean wanted to REALLY fight, like REALLY REALLY fine then. He'd play along. He'd more than play along even, he'd win. So he does what any sensible troll would do when faced with a troll with powerful psiionics and there's no weapon in your own hands. Tackle them!!!
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean can't hear that scream, but he knows that look plenty. He finally hit a nerve. The guitar was gone and Ashley had discarded the corpse, finally focusing on him with a look other than amusement or disdain. That was what he was here for! Anger! Passion! The lust to shed some fucking blood. He didn't even notice Prisma's disappearance, not when he had a whole bunch of scrawny purpleblood tackling him. He goes down but it's fine, that's what his armor is for. He just had to hope it actually held up under purple strength. Instead of focusing on keeping his ass safe like a normal damn troll, he decided to abandon the axe for a pair of psi brass knuckles to swing at that stupid face that was suddenly too close, holy shit.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
He was quick to dig his well manicured nails into Hadeans shoulders. Hissing and barring teeth before taking a hit to the cheek. Hands refusing to Let go of the new death grip he had on Hadean but the force was plenty enough to break his glare. If he was a more fanged troll there'd be severe issues with biting himself, being unblessed in that department seems to have saved Ashley hide this time. Minus ten for intimidation points though. He couldn't keep his thoughts straight on how to attack next and ended up settling for trying to ram Hadean down against the ground. Mind fogged on how to steady his strength, what amount to use or even what could be considered appropriate for this situation. A part of him didn't care! Why should he! This...LOWER BLOOD destroyed his most prized possession!
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Damn claws did not feel that great in Hadean's shoulders and neither the strength in those deceptively scrawny hands. Damn purpleblood, he took a hit to the face like a champ and just kept going as angry as ever. But then that was what highblood rage did, wasn't it? He would have gone for another swing, but the feeling of being lifted and slammed back down was one hell of a distraction. The crack of his skull against the ground was a disturbingly familiar one, brought back the ghosts of the beatdown that had driven him in to this fight. Was this going to be a trend for him now? The very thought had him boiling even through the daze of impact. He hissed, reaching up to claw back at Ashley and to try and prevent another slam like that. He hoped he had a bit more experience in grappling as he tried to flip them in to a roll. He wasn't sure how much better an angry purpleblood was under him than over him, but he was willing to take a try.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
There's a second attempt at smashing his opponent into the concrete but before he can force more contact he had to turn his attention to the suddenly flipping world. He let out more hisses, knuckles threatening to whiten as his grip tightened on the maroon. He didn't know WHAT was keeping him from digging in harder but the resistance he felt only served to fuel his rage. " GOD Hadsy you really need to get rid of all this dead skin. " Ashley taunted, squirming underneath the maroon to try getting his feet underneath. Hadean needed to buy him dinner before this sort of thing would be allowed! Yeesh!
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Ashley was strong, but thankfully he was light. Hadean grinned when he came out on top, digging his claws in past that sweater in search of skin. Ashley was spluttering but Hadean wasn't letting his earplugs go away- who knew if his words had the same effect as his music? Ashley was squirming but Hadeant hought it was only kind to give him a taste of his own medicine, jerking him up to slam against the ground. Not with as much strength, but he just wanted the satisfaction. "How about you give up before I bloody your fucking face!?" That was probably a bit louder than he meant for it to be, but. Hopefully that just made it intimidating!
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
The knock to the back of the head wasn't lethal but not being prepared for it along with the prodding of fingers into his shoudlers left Ashley momentarily shocked. Acting on reaction more than anything as he swung a punch at Hadean before finally getting his feet under neath the guy to kick him off with force, probably scuffing up that pretty suit but oops! Weirdly enough in the back of Ashley's mind he wishes he'd helped Hadean take the jacket portion off at least and set it aside with his own but that odd piece of thought gets reclouded over immediatley. Remembering his lost loved one laying shattered only a few feet away. " Oh shut UP!" He yells back, again, useless but he's too prideful to not respond.
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
The satisfaction didn't lost too long, unfortunately- but a purpleblood punching a guy in the face could shatter a lot. Just... Hopefully not Hadean's jaw. He was still reeling when the kick sent him soaring, but at least between his suit and his armor the alleyway floor didn't tear up anything important. Just maybe some of his remaining pride. He forced himself to sit up, working his jaw just to make sure everything was still in its place. He thought a molar might be lose, but... That was okay. He'd either heal it or replace it. His mouth was full of the taste of blood again so he spit it to the side, forcing himself back to his feet. The garbage can that had been tossed at him was still nearby, so he decided to give it a kick towards Ashley. Nothing like rotting garbage to get a primma donna back on their feet, after all.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
With the weight finally off him Ashley took in the damage to his sweater. It wasn't in SHREDS of course but to him even the amount of damage Hadean did was enough for him to peel it off and discard of the damned thing. It was getting too heated for it anyway, he tried to rationalize withhimself. The sound of rolling tin however caught his attention again, looking at the source and hopping up to avoid it. Gross?? Also it was rude to copy. Ashley glared over at Hadean, breaking out into a smirk then laughing a bit at the bloodied mouth he'd ended up giving them. " OH sweetheart oh no~ I'm SOOOO sorry honey. Let me fix it." Ashley taunts again, giggling in between words. He hadn't gotten to do an actual fight in so long it was actually almost fun! Just like normal trolls say it is. Ah conformity~ A few steps were taken towards Hadean, standing back up straight and fists clenched.(edited)
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
It was damn fun to make him scramble away from the trash can, Hadean was grinning at the sight bloody mouth and all. But that's what he got for getting busy with sweater removal! He should have been more like Hadean, he had tested extensively to make sure he wasn't going to overheat in his outfit. Just another sign that for all his strength, Ashley didn't think things though. Not that Hadean could talk too much on that subject... He context of his words is lost on Hadean, but he could recognize giggling when he saw it. Why the fuck was he still giggling? That gangly mess was coming back for more, so Hadean decided to meet him. A little application of his psionics was enough to lengthen his claws in to something longer, six inch razor sharp points that he had no qualms about using, feinting a hit at his face before sweeping low instead, across his stomach. He wanted them both to bleed.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
The giggling didn't stop, in fact it evolved into full on cackling. Hollow, adrenaline fueled, laughing. Almost melodic in a sense maybe if he had actually intended for it to be but otherwise it was unsettling to say the least if Hadean could actually hear. At least they had a lovely audience to hear it! He took the farce swipe at face value and stepped back in an attempt to avoid it. It wasn't nearly enough to step away from the lower swipe however, feeling the slice of psi claws dig into and cut a gash into his torso. No his organs weren't going to spill out like an old roman honorable death but well, one his shirt was ruined and two, there was indigo blossoming up and dripping out now. Ashley looked down to assess the damage momentarily pausing in his cackling to gasp at the slice. His skin was unmarked besides THIS new set of additions. It only fueled the hate in him further to realize the intense after care he'd have to deal with to keep it from scarring. Off reflex he puts a hand over the cuts. Pointless, it didn't need pressure, and it only made a mess of his hand but it was weirdly a comforting action. LIkely since he didn't have to look at it now. Ashley was quick to hook a foot behind Hadean's ankle and yank as hard as he could. Those claws weren't a joke and he wasn't about to let them get any closer.
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
That bright purple was what Hadean wanted to see! Punching him had been satisfying but there was just something so enjoyable about making a jerk bleed. Of course, he hadn't been only aiming for the graze of claws, but... Hey, this was a no-cull fight. He had to keep his temper in check, he didn't need to cull anyone tied to the legislacerators. Those stupid overpriced shoes sure did do a good job of tripping a guy up. Hadean snarled as he went back down, holding those claws in front of him in case Ashley went pressing the attack. He wanted more damage on the purple bastard! But then, he was sure Ashley was thinking the same about him. He kicked out at an ankle, hoping he might get lucky. It wasn't as bad being on the ground if he wasn't the only one, after all. Maybe a little grappling, a knife to the throat might be enough for him to tap out. Then Hadean could win.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Unfortunate for Hadean the Indigo wasn't as predictable as he tended to give off. Or well he could be if he was in a better state of mind vs what's going on right now. Pure blind unbridled rage with terrible cackling as a cherry on top. He's quick to grab the ankle of the foot launched at him. Claws again digging in as he gripped tightly. Mouth filling with words to taunt the non-hearing opponent but exploding as more laughter. Indigo jeans or just him losing it? It was anyone's bet. Another set of claws follow the first set right into hadean's leg. Followed by a swift tug. Ashley wasn't exactly one with enough raw strength to just chuck someone straight up but he had enough strenght to muster up to at least swing Hadean to the side and toss at one of the alley walls. He needed to tire him out. Immediatley. Get those STUPID headphones...earmuffs...WHATEVER off him.(edited)
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Kicking him wasn't a good idea, Ashley was quicker than Hadean would have given him credit for. And more willing to let go of his new wounds, of course. He tried to yank his leg back but that grip was tight, claws digging deep to splinter through his armor and cleave through flesh. Of course, that wasn't the worst of it, no. Hadean got to have a very short flying lesson. There was no avoiding impact, all he had the thought to do was curl his head and shoulders in so he didn't think his thinkpan splatters all over the bricks. He landed hard, and- ohh boy. He could feel how shattered the armor was on his back, how much of the impact still went through. A quick wiggle of fingers and toes was promising for spinal cord damage at least, but he knew he'd be one hell of an aching mess as the bruising came. Right now it was dull, thinkpan pumping chemicals to keep him able to fight. Getting up was one hell of a struggle, but Hadean wasn't letting himself stay down.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
There was a momentary set of claps from Ashley as he watched Hadean rise again. " Nice sweetheart! I'm so proud of you honey!" But, he wasn't ready to be the one to call timeout. He was huffing and puffing a little from the effort of that throw. Grossly enough the strain of what muscles needed to do such action caused more bleeding out of his wounds. Staining into his pants. When the adrenaline of this all runs out he'll need to nurse all that, launder immediatley, and be sure to maybe look into sewing it up...Dermal or deeper was going to be an issue a band-aid couldn't simply repair. Again he wasn't done though! Ashley charged at the maroon, feinting a punch before setting a hand against the wall. Other fist actually making contact, he'd read something or whatever about some sort of solar plexus. Okay he didn't read he skimmed, and no he didn't know where it was but??? Eh details, details. " Wish you could hear me Hadsy, honey haha~"
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
What a fucking dick. He was clapping after sending Hadean in to a wall! The rage helped against the pain a little bit, enough for him to muster a glare. At least the sight of all that indigo was nice. Shame he hadn't gotten a little deeper, it would take him too long to start getting weak from blood loss this way. And ohh fuck, he was charging. Hadean pressed back against the wall, but he didn't flinch at the feint- the hit to the stomach still landed though, and though his armor was still mostly solid there it still hurt, helped choke the breath out of him. This was too familiar- getting pinned in and whaled on. Hadean probably should have learned from the first time, but his blood was up. There was blood in his mouth, cool indigo on him, and- fuck it. He snarled as he reached for that damnably maroon tie, using it to haul him in as he lunged forward. Maybe if he had remembered the audience he wouldn't have gone for biting Ashley's mouth, but. That was for Future Hadean to deal with.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Wh- Ashley's brain scrambled to process what the actual fuck Hadean was doing, wading itself through the rage addled mind to try garnering a hold on real thought finally. Processing power going into trying to figure out why his mouth stung. HIS MOUTH and why was Hadean so close to his face? That sobered him up pretty fast actually, gut reaction telling him to bite back or at least attempt to and to press forward. Pulling back would lose him a lip more than likely. Hand that was formerly aiming for the maybe solar plexus fisting into Hadean's outfit in case he tried to make a break for it. Hand against the wall migrated to one of Hadean's earmufflers, clawing at it now that he was close enough to finally do so. He'd be damned if Hadean remained deaf for the entirety of their first interaction. That aside.... Whatever this was turning into Ashley was a part of it now so there was that he guessed. There was a lot of charged and mixed feelings over this.
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean wasn't nice about sinking his teeth in- most trolls didn't like the idea of getting a chunk of lip taken out, he had Ashley about as close to pinned as he was gonna get in this situation. And hey, he wasn't hitting him. That was the problem with letting trolls close to soft fleshy bits. He did notice he had both hands busy, but that worked just fine with Hadean. He let go of his tie, smoothing his hand up. It took a little more effort than it usually would to form a knife, but he didn't hesitate about pressing it against Ashley's neck as one muffler finally gave up the ghost, crumbling under Ashley's insistence. He let go of his lip to give him a wide indigo-stained grin, ignoring that cool blood slipping down his chin. "Give in, or I'll give you a niice cut. Won't be so pretty then." It was a fucking dirty trick. But Hadean was alright with that.
Fawnprince-05/18/2017
Ashley kept clawing until he felt his nails hit against flesh and hair, taking in a fistful even when he was being threatened. Jaw a little slack , partlydue from not exactly enjoying the taste of bloodin his mouth his own or otherwise. He weighed his options here. Trust that Hadean is calling a bluff and will keep this no-culling? Or get sliced and ...yeah get sliced and that's that...OR...... Thirdly. The hand fisted in Hadean's clothes, sturdy and well made he mentally adds, lets go delicatley touching at his own neck and searching to put it over hadean's. Locking eyes with the warmer troll. Gripping a bit, hinting for the knife to be lowered. " And lose a new toy? Hadsy, honey you think so lowly of me to think I'm dispensible...." There was a temptation to give a sing songy lilt to his own words but....he resisted and spoke like a normal troll. No funny business. " Just when this was getting interesting babe." mistakenly Ashley' bit at his lower lip trying to be all ~sensual~ or some bullshit but yep he is. Definitley cut up there, and hisses from the accident.
rebatrolls-05/18/2017
Hadean digs the knife in a bit when he feels that cold hand on his flesh, even against the squeeze that followed it until there was a glint of indigo. Stop no-cull rule. Things were easier when he could just drain a troll dry. Ashley had so much life in him too... He'd make a damn good meal. "I don't have to open you up all the way, Ashy. You're purple, if I was careful it'd be easy enough to just carve you a little. Of course, if you keep it up, I could always get a little excited and slip..." Calling his bluff only worked when Hadean had something to lose from it. And he wanted to win, damnit. "It can still be interesting. All you have to do is admit that I could have slit you open and had myself the grossest fucking indigo shower there ever was. Say I win. And maybe I'll give you some more of my time in a way that's not trying to gouge your neck open, hm?"May 19, 2017
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
There's a soft gasp from Ashley at the stinging feeling of flesh being cut into. Using any usual jive or excitement in his voice would likely cause it to get worse so he ended up speaking lower, mumbling almost. Voice a lower rumble than usual so only Hadean would be able to hear. Hand ever so carefully trying to pull the knife away. " You're excited by me, honey? That's so sweet.... I'll gladly spend the rest of the night with you babe~" Carefully. Ever so carefully he lilted the last few words. Carefully humming a few bars of what could be a song after. Anything to get that knife away. ANYTHING.
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
There was only so much he could resist against a highblood trying to move his hand back from his vulnerable neck- but what Hadean could do was just keep making his knife longer, keeping that point close to his skin no matter what. He was prepared for the singing, had tried to steel himself against the effect, that haziness. He just fed in to his pain and anger to try and overrule it, lips peeling back as he gave his angriest roar. It wasn't anything like the notes of a highblood rage, but there was still plenty of anger in it. He was tired with the messing around, sick of Ashley treating this like some big fucking game. "Say you surrender right now, or I'm slicing you open. If you sing, I'll make sure you can never make another fucking sound again."
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
There was a little whisper of ' Losing doesn't taste good does it?' as Ashley took in a small inhale, being sure to not guillotine himself. Sorry Hadean he just couldn't be gutted today. Hand gripping tighter on Hadean's with as much force as he could muster while pulling it away. Not a side motion but more towards Hadean himself and away from Ashley's own neck. No he wouldn't dare slice off Hadean's head but the more real he could make a threat himself the better. As a little coup de grace he decided to sing a little gentle Lullaby to Hadean. Demanding he surrender. Pressing ever so closer to the red hued troll. Forehead against Hadean's. " Sweetheart~ Let's stop this fighting ~ We know it's fruitless....."
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
Damn purpleblooded strength. Try as he might, there wasn't much budging Ashley- the difference in strength was just too much. He was too limited by being unable to cull the bastard, the threat of what would happen if he did loomed too heavy. He was pinned with a knife against his throat, Ashley all up in his space. And then came the damn singing, catching in his ear and sinking claws in to his thinkpan. His arms stopped fighting against Ashley, the knife flickering out of existence as he gave up the energy. Was it fruitless to fight? Was his whole fucking life fruitless? Why the fuck did he keep losing?
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
Ashley gave a last final squeeze dangerously skirting on using too much strength. With his rage calmed the pain of his gash was steadily catching up to him. A stronger, more battle hardened Indigo likely would've been able to keep going no sweat but it was Ashley. Not a true subjug of any variety. A sigh interuppted his song temporarily he tried to continue but hissed again at the feeling of an overly warm body against his icy cold wound not being the most comfortable feeling. He refused to let this all slip from him however, with how Hadean had treated him his ego demanded the last laugh here. The option of ramming his mouth against the others and biting as hard as Hadean had came to mind. So without thinking he did just that. Hand leaving the side of Hadean's head to claw at his suit, it'd be rude to claw at his head of course but Ashley was desperatley beginning to need a distraction from his clawed self.
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
The feeling of surrender faded a bit when Ashley's song stopped, but Hadean didn't go swinging again, just blinking hard against the sudden vertigo. He didn't get too much time to dwell on the thinkpan whiplash though, not when there was coolness against his lips, followed by the hot splash of his blood and pain. And boy was that familiar too, history happily repeating itself. Right down to his damn clothing getting destroyed. He couldn't pull away, but this wasn't like with Emerel- he wasn't helpless, he didn't want to be helpless. So he swung at Ashley's middle with a hiss, hoping he didn't destroy his lip.
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
The sudden strike sends him mentally realing, biting down harder than before, hand gripping harder than before and hand raking at Hadean for some kind of stable ...ANYTHING. Only his mouth lets go eventually letting out an awful groan of pain then huffing as he tried to regain breath. Losing to Hadean was becoming less ego damaging and more of a painful idea based solely off the possibility of not getting to do it again? Was that weird? Ashley hoped it wasn't weird he didn't fight often but it was just thrilling maybe too thrilling. Hm. Regardless, he tried to headbutt again. He was too tall to go for much but the semi-slouch that came from the hit to his weak spot had him aim for HAdean's nose. " Oh fuck o-off hadsy." He sputtered out.(edited)
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
His lip feels like it's on fire when he bites harder- Hadean would be rocking the 'made out with a blender' look again for a while. But then he kept biting first so really, he's asking for it. At least he lets go before he bites it right off, and Hadean gets to enjoy that groan. It's something. It shows he's not just fruitlessly hitting himself against a brick wall, he'd take whatever he could take right now. He wasn't expecting another damn headbutt, and oww. His tried to turn his head in time but failed to do anything but avoid a break. He cursed when it immediately started to fill with blood again though, just adding to the mess of his face as he swung for Ashley's middle again. It worked before, after all. "You first." That came out a bit more slurred and stuffy than he meant for it to, but he got the point across.
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
Another pained groan, more dragged out, more pained. There was going to be serious issues if he kept taking hits there. There was serious issues already but....more concerning issues. His meat did not need to be beat like this. His knees began to buckle at the pain, but he refused to go down alone, literally trying to drag Hadean down with him in any manner he could. A hand letting go of hadean's clothes and going for that hair of his. The other grabbing for a sleeve as he started to deadweight. He was a mess. Grappling like this, semi-bloodied, glasses likely askew at this point, hair maybe having acquired some blood from the headbutt. A disaster. But he didn't want to think of any of that right now. Just a way to get this to be done with.
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
There was very little of Hadean's body that didn't hurt in some capacity now. He felt like someone had taken a meat tenderizer to every part of his back, his face was just a mess and mix of blood... But he wasn't giving in. Even with as little in the tank as he had, he wasn't just laying down and letting Ashley beat on him. Getting dragged to the ground, on the other hand... That was a different story. He wasn't very heavy usually, but Hadean was tired. Laying down might have felt good if he hadn't had to fall to get there. He hisses at Ashley, at the hand in his hair, but it's strained. The adrenaline is fading fast now as he tries to paw at the bloody mess that is Ashley's stomach. "Give up already..." Fuck. Did he have to be nice? "Fucker. Don't hit me again and I'll... Let this be a tie." Another damn tie. But wasn't that better than the risk of losing?
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
Ashley makes sure to keep Hadean close. Huffing and puffing with each touch at his wound. Almost wheezing at times. It took more energy than he would've liked but he glowers at Hadean. " ....let it be a tie? You??....Babe..." He tugs at Hadean's hair harshly. Groaning again at his stomach simply burning. " Just submit honey. You roughed me up good, dollface."
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
The hair yank gets a slight rumble, weakened by how sore he was. But he was trying to be nice and this fucker was throwing it in his face! "I'm not a fucking dollface. Bulgemunch... I caused more bleeding than you did... We keep talking and you'll eventually get weaker and weaker... Just. Accept a tie... Give you a fucking rematch when we're better..." He thought that made sense.
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
" With that new....busted nose you got I think we're even...." Ashley nods tiredly. Fine. A tie. in his mind he feels he still did a better job but whatever. Stupidly enough he moves to bonk his forehead against Hadean's again. Not a head butt but a tap that he just leaves lingering. Augh Hadean looked disgusting. Their blood just did not mix into a nice color. No ones did really but Ashley made sure to note that this was a bad look. " Tie, Babe." Again, gross but Ashley gives a pity prize of a nip and a peck to Hadean.
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
Hadean grumbles at the bonk, but allows it. It's the least he could do after all, since he finally got the asshole to bend a little. Maybe the next fight would end with him actually using his damn name instead of nicknames, but... Wriggler steps he supposes. This was just the step of letting him know that even a Maroonblood could wreck his shit. The nip and peck get him a dirty look, and he's quick to scoop up some of his blood in his hand before he reached over to pat Ashley's cheek. "Next time I'll be ready for you to be a cheating little fuck."
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
There's a weak laugh from Ashley. in response. It's interuppted obviously by another groan of pain but once that's over he does enjoy the look he got from Hadean. Point one for him~ " You're the cheater asshole..." A grimace at the bloody pat then he shifts slightly. More blood dribbling from his wound. Hands slowly letting go of Hadean as he pushes himself up to sit on his knees. " Let me clean up your messed up face honey. My place is nearby."
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
"Fuck off, I didn't try fucking thinkpan jacking you. Slimey fucker." Hadean watches him move with a frown, more than happy to keep his carcass parked for a few moments longer. The pain was definitely starting to sing now as he finally sat up, spitting more blood to the side as he mulled over the offer. He knew he must look like a fucking mess. It was probably dangerous for him to be seen walking around like this on his own... Legislacerators were still out in force after all. And.... Crap. He didn't want to get his friends in trouble. Speaking of friends... He glanced over to them, giving Sipara and Laledy a wave. Where was Prisma? Did he get too upset by the fight and leave? "How close is close. Y'got medical shit?" At least walking down the street with a purpleblood would probably ward off most legislacerators. He hoped.
mar-05/19/2017
At some point, she left off on the commentary. But the fight calmed almost as soon as it flared, and Sipara let out the breath she was holding when Hadean waved at her. He looked like a mess, sure, but he was fine enough. A little blood never hurt anyone! And they were talking, from the looks of it, which meant it wasn't not something she'd have to jump in on. Good. If she was going to play four squares with Hadean, then it wasn't going to be as third wheel to a blueblood. Eugh. "You two done shacking up in an alley?" she calls out, patient. "'cause, Hads, if you're not gonna cull 'em, I gotta step.Pri ran off to puke in a dumpster, and I kind of want to, like, make sure he didn't fall in."
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
"Done for now, thanks Sips~" He thought it was maybe a little cheeky to blow a kiss to her, but he was in a mood. And a little buoyed by the tie, he'd be honest! It felt good to give as good as he got, even if it hadn't ended in a complete victory. Better than absolute ailure. "Tell Pris I'm sorry I scared him off, would you?" He thought that was a fair enough apology, even if he had the feeling Prisma would be feeling a little put off by him for a bit. He'd win him back over. He hauled himself to his aching feet, pausing before he offered a hand to Ashley. "C'mon, up." Man, he hoped his cool new outfit was fixable...
Fawnprince-05/19/2017
Ashley looked around at the mess made while Hadean spoke to his in Ashley's opinion ,cronies , frowning at his smashed guitar. It was unrepairable in this state and he wasn't keen on bringing the corpse back home with him. Nice. Fuck Hadean. That sweater might be salvageable though. And his blazer avoided it all still nicely folded and tucked away where he left it. He looked at the hand offered him, it was in poor taste but he waved it off. Letting out a terrible his as he pushed himself onto his feet. " Close as in a few blocks away, babe. I paid good money for it, nice view. Large. Don't worry about anything I got it. " Sobriety was damning as he realized he probably looked way worse than planned. Stepping around a bit to grab his sweater and blazer , tempted to put both on to help cover up his stomach wound. But blood was harder to get out than he would've liked. Even worse he could FEEL it congealing on his skin. UHG. Holding his things in his arms, glasses put back right and hair.....well he had attempted to make it look playfully tusseled instead of ruined, Ashley shoots Hadean a cheesy, bloodied smile. " coffee's at my place too. You made this more violent than I'd planned honey. "
rebatrolls-05/19/2017
He tried to be nice and got rebuffed, how rude. He found it a little bit hard to be angry about it though- lifting Ashley would have hurt. "Gee whiz, aren't you mister important highlood with a big fancy apartment. Catch me if I start swooning at the fucking opulance." Well, maybe he'd have some food. Hadean was hungry after the ride over and the fight. He rolled his eyes as Ashley started fussing over himself, like it was possible to make it look like they were doing anything but fighting. Hadean knew he was a fucking trainwreck, but that was what a shower was for. Might make Prisma feel better to see him not covered in gore anyways. He shoots Ashley back his own bloody grin, straightening up even if it makes his aching back protest. "Sorry I didn't just let you make me dance around and hit myself, fuckwad. Told you you shouldn't underestimate me. Now lead the way." He'd have to steal that damn tie sometime at the apartment...

VD: o: pretend you didn't see that! we're having some TECHNICAL QUIRK DIFFICULTIES right now 😮
VD: o= ugh!!! 😮
II: Haha, oh my
II: Well, I'm not quite _here_ since I'm technically at a lecture, but this speaker is dreadfully boring
II: You would think someone who specialized in colonization and diplomacy law would be a fascinating sort of person!
DD: omgggggggggggggg i would be okay with vd claiming this chatroom!!! DD: it would make it about fifty times cooler than before!!! i mean not that its not cool now just that shes definitely cooler and it would be an improvement
II: But they're hideously dull.
ID: nah ii, that sounds hella boring.
DD: i am seconding id!
SA: just quit using the colon with the o.
II: I was hoping they would have interesting stories about aliens, or exploration!
SA: you will look far less suprised.
II: All they have done is drone about minor policy details, which are relevant I suppose but nothing I could not simply read about myself.
DD: well if they are boring details i suspect they figured you wouldnt be especially inclined to read about them yourself so they should say them to you instead so you cant escape!
DD: unless you escape by ignoring them and chatting online instead i suppose but there is no helping some circumstances
II: I always read my briefings.
II: No matter how dull.
II: But going to a lecture is different, I expect some sort of personal flair.
DD: im sure you do but does everyone
DD: its a lecture isnt it i dont suppose youre the only one in there
VD: gosh, sa, that's about what i'm ready to do. VD: it's a shame! that quirk is my THING. VD: but oh well! VD: gotta adapt to the medium!
ID: some trolls just love the sound of their own voice. doesn't mean they're interesting.
SA: 😮
DD: nooooooooo vd 😢
II: Haha, hardly. I am mostly surrounded by teals and a few bluebloods.
SA: i suppose there is no beating it.
DD: rip the quirk
II: But none of them look particularly thrilled either, except those who I suspect are trying to curry favor.
II: And they look rather glassy.
ID: big fish little pond huh ii?
VD: ii, this may be a pretty wild suggestion, so hold onto your pants, but. VD: have you thought about escaping out the window?
SA: some trolls simply sound monotonous but they say very important things.
SA: like me
SA: full stop.
ID: hahaha yeah ii, just dive out the fucking window.
II: Sadly there are no windows in this conference room.
II: Otherwise it would have occurred to me.
VD: and don't cry, dd! the quirk SURVIVES. online, that is! on my stream. VD: winky face!
SA: that is. not at all subtle.
DD: well then take a vent DD: or a ceiling panel!
SA: are you streaming this chat?
ID: fake your death ii. it's the only way.
VD: aww. crawl out under the tables to freedom!
II: I...strongly doubt I would fit through one of those.
II: Or manage to go under the tables, haha.
II: ...though faking my death _is_ sounding appealing.
II: Or at least faking being unconscious.
ID: faking your death is fool-proof.
DD: and ahaha omg DD: im sorry! DD: i was trying not to make it weird but yes oh dear i love your stream very much and i would just like to say that im very pleased that STARship helps make it possible!!
VD: what? no! chats are boring! VD: technically, i might be streaming just a LITTLE. VD: but don't worry, this is not exactly the sort of hard-hitting content that gets my viewers going!
SA: I.
VD: unless ii fakes their death!
ID: you either succeed or they find out you're faking and cull you for realsies.
SA: well, I'm done here for an hour or so.
II: Well if I do, I shall be sure to film it for you.
II: I am nothing if not considerate.
VD: awww. you're a real doll!
II: Haha
DD: ... also maybe if youre ever interested in upgrading well be releasing a new system for synthetic neural synapse that helps streamline wetware-hardware connection and im sure you dont ever have lag but if you do i mean
II: Oh, are you a tech expert, DD?
II: How charming!
DD: i!!! DD: kind of!!
DD: you could say that!
DD: STARship is my company!!
DD: co-company??
VD: ... as is dd! VD: STARSHIP is the big hit that makes it all possible, it is true. VD: why, without them, where would we be? filming with cameras, like a bunch of cocoon-wetting pupas? =:B VD: nah!
VD: oh!
ID: oh god is this just a chat of highblood nerds now.
II: Yes, we have invaded
II: Terribly sorry
DD: well its not when youre here!
DD: 😄
VD: yes, exactly! VD: you are saving us all, id, you valiant hero, you.
DD: wait that sounded like i dont want you here and that is the opposite of what i intended
DD: yes what vd said
ID: uh-huh. totes got my feels injured by that declaration dd, but i guess you patched them.
II: Hahaha
DD: though really its not as though ive gone on at particular length about my work at anybody as of yet i mean i would like to think i am more considerate than that to both those unfamiliar with my jargon and also to my patent legislacerators
II: You don't deal with lowbloods much, do you, DD?
II: Many of the ones I know are not exactly fragile
ID: no ii, i'm suuuppperrrr fragile.
II: Hah!
ID: got a broke ass arm to prove it. =:'(
II: And I'm the governor of Provenance.
DD: i mean not really aside from the lovely members of station 11 that are helping me test my latest prototypes but also i didnt say that because he is a lowblood i said it because i was afraid i hurt his feelings
DD: though there are many physiological and psychic differences between highbloods and lowbloods it is a common misconception that they extend to the psychological! DD: for the most part anyways i mean there are some differences but
VD: i would love to take you up on your sweet offer, dd - mx dd - but i am just not sure i need it! VD: my visual hookup is state of the line. top of the rack! VD: and besides, i think i would miss all of my modifications. =:B can't get THOSE storebought!
DD: what i am saying is that i think that would have been a jerk thing to say to anybody!
DD: if i had meant it the wrong way i mean
ID: what i'm getting from this is that dd is a jerk.
DD: and oh of course i mean i know it is state of the line i am afraid i just got overexcited and-
DD: no i am not!!
II: Ah, I think I would call them...inexperienced?
DD: at least i am not trying to be 😦
II: In some social aspects.
ID: accidentally a jerk.
II: I don't think you are, DD.
DD: what did i do that was jerkish?
VD: hahaha. oh, gosh.
II: It's just plain you haven't dealt with lower castes much.
VD: y'all talk really fast, don't you?
ID: yeah we're hella touchy about you highbloods bringing up our differences. =:'(
DD: i have been told i talk very quickly and at great length my apologies if it is excessive
II: Hahaha
ID: and also apparently being used as guinea pigs for you.
II: Well, that is standard protocol I'm afraid.
VD: no, no, it is positively charming! VD: i just have got to stretch out all of my conversational muscles to keep up!
DD: and really?? DD: that has not been entirely my experience but also workplace sensitivity said that its good not to say all lowbloods are touchy or not touchy about everything in general because that is a bit of a stereotype regardless of which way you go!
DD: and oh dear now i am flustered
DD: thank you though!!!!
DD: that is very flattering
DD: and what do you mean guinea pigs?
DD: i do not eat lowbloods
VD: i.
ID: ....man.
II: ...do you eat guinea pigs, then?
ID: i mean, good on not fucking eating us.
ID: guinea pigs as in making us test your shit.
DD: i mean i have recently had pork yes!!
II: That...oh dear
II: That's not a guinea pig
DD: oh
DD: um!
II: That's just a regular oinkbeast.
ID: ahahah woowwww.
II: Guinea pigs are small and adorable and not really good for meat.
VD: oh, ii, don't drag the poor thing! VD: who hasn't looked at a little rodent and gone: well, shoot! that'd be delicious on a platter!
II: ...myself?
II: I say that mostly because they aren't really big enough to be a proper meal.
DD: i have to admit i am not certain what is common fare for eating when it comes to the landdwelling castes
ID: i mean where you find one guinea pig you'll find more.
DD: i have spent most of my time here thus far lamenting the profound lack of fish!!
ID: they travel together.
DD: i tried to get some sushi but i think the crab was fake
II: Gracious, DD, you almost make me want to take you for dinner somewhere, though surely that'd interfere with your work.
VD: oh, i don't know about that! VD: i got in a hive once that had a guinea pig just about the size of a house! VD: mean little critter, too. it nearly took a chunk out of my poor leg.
ID: 'got in a hive' sounds ominous af.
VD: i think everyone'd be better off if dd had gone and eaten that one. 😮 u o=
VD: oh, fiddlesticks.
DD: no thats fine i can work at any time but its not any time that i have the opportunity to make a new friend! DD: as long as you dont feed my guinea pig i suppose x))
II: Haha, I would never. Have you heard of Civitrecce, DD?
DD: oh no whats wrong???
DD: and no ii i am afraid i have not but i am also afraid i have not heard of most places that are not located underwater or in orbit!
VD: haha, it is only ominous if you want it ominous, id. VD: which is to say, i'd explain, but i'd hate to break the sense of suspense you're building here!
DD: except troll chicago but that was in a musical
DD: i am very in suspense!!
ID: i mean i'm just imagining you break in to hives for funsies.
II: Fair enough! It's my home city, though I am rarely there. It boasts many fine restaurants, including those tailored to the elite, so they have fine seafood.
VD: getting warmer, id! =0 u 0=
II: It also has a spaceport and land travel hub, so it has plenty of trains heading there.
VD: yessss, success!
DD: omg!! DD: in that case i would absolutely love to visit DD: you dont suppose they have any shops that sell nice moisturizer do they because i am coming to realize that this hotel does not come equipped with a salt bath and my gills are drying out and its becoming quite painful and DD: oh dear but thats me just being a complainer now!
DD: what did you do vd??
II: Oh, of course they do.
ID: hahah woow what did you expect being in the desert though dd?
II: ...I'm sorry, break into hives?
VD: 0= i got my quirk working again! =0 VD: 0= look at this, it is just like in the vids. =0
ID: text it vd breaks in to hives to murder for funsies.
DD: omggggggg i love it!
DD: and she doesnt MURDER anyone!!
DD: and i dont know ive never been to a desert!
VD: 0= what nooooo. 0= VD: 0= anyone can murder people! that's not impressive at all! =0
DD: expected it to be like the tropics!!
VD: 0= no one's going to watch that! =0
ID: so what do you do then.
DD: only the coolest stunts ever!!
II: Do you cause property damage and enter without the owners' consent.
VD: 0= hahaha, what is this, an ama? =0 VD: 0= because man, i love those. =0
ID: the fuck is an ama.
VD: 0= property damage is for wrigglers, ii! =0 VD: 0= the KEY to making it fun for the whole clade is breaking in without breaking anything, taking some stuff, and leaving before anyone can even grab their trident! =0
VD: 0= an ask me anything! 0=
VD: 0= where people.. well, gosh, ask you anything. =0
II: I see.
ID: ...so you stream breaking in and stealing from folks.
ID: highbloods.
II: _I_ do not condone this.
ID: 🙄
VD: 0= oh, don't worry, ii, i think you're pretty swell! 0=
DD: oh come on ii its not as though it really hurts anyone and besides if they didnt want their things stolen they should have installed better security systems!
SA: you sound like the sort of person that steals the remote control batteries and watches the hive dissolve into chaos.
VD: 0= and it's - yes, exactly! =0
DD: or worse ones i suppose since part of the fun is the challenge of a good security system
II: It is still illegal.
VD: 0= to both of those! =0
SA: "it's not like it really hurts anyone" "if they didn't want their things stolen they should have installed better security systems"
ID: highbloods pris.
SA: there is so many things. wrong. with that sentence.
VD: 0= i'm helping people improve themselves through a little TLC. 0= VD: 0= and by helping them put off doing their lethal bar paperwork! =0 VD: 0= it's a hard job, but gosh, someone's gotta do it. =0
II: The kind of logic used by all sorts of criminal rubbish.
SA: help me, Hadean.
VD: 0= it's not really a crime, if you think about it! =0 VD: 0= why, you could probably even say it's a public service! =0
II: Yes it is and I find it particularly appalling that someone of your blood would do such a thing.
II: Shame on you for disgracing your caste.
ID: yeah vd you're setting a bad example for us lowbloods.
ID: ii if you ever catch me stealing it's because vd made it look cool.
II: Ha
II: _Clearly_ .
VD: 0= am i a disgrace, ii? =0 VD: 0= because 1m viewers per session says that an awful lot of people think i'm a shining example! 0=
II: This troll isn't a suitable role model for a blind grub.
ID: also quick fact is it stealing if you're looting a corpse.
VD: 0= i am not quite sure of what, though, now that i think about it. =0 VD: 0= gosh, i should do a poll. =0
II: Your viewers are likely average bored citizens - no, not technically.
VD: 0= ewww. don't touch corpses! =0
ID: great!
SA: no it's just grave defilement.
VD: 0= that's how you get hornrot, id! =0
II: I mean, to be fair, I'd consider it wasteful to not. Unless they have quadrants who would like the body or belongings back.
II: Then it would be disrespectful, but not illegal.
ID: if they're recently dead it's fineeee.
VD: 0= oh, yes. =0 VD: 0= breaking into hives is wrong, but touching dead bodies is perfectly fine. 0=
SA: i'm sorry, did you go looting corpses today?
VD: 0= ii, i think your morals are a little questionable! =0
VD: 0= i think you're setting a bad example here! =0
II: Morality isn't the problem here. It's the law.
ID: not today. but some times a troll has to find some quick cash!
ID: yeah vd.
ID: i'm immoral but i'm legal.
II: Morals don't enter it. Luckily, I really do not care what you think, since you are a criminal.
II: Moreover, a _stupid_ criminal who talks about their crimes in an Imperial server.
VD: 0= well, isn't that just a knife straight to my heart? 😢 =0
SA: please it's not as if the police will come hunt them down for blasting it in a defunct server.
SA: they are a high blood.
SA: who... actually cares.
ID: ^^^^
II: I don't care for their blood. I care for their blatant immaturity and defilement of the legal system.
II: They ought to be disciplined.
SA: as long as they're looking from a caste below them the police will turn a blind eye.
VD: 0= haha, yeah, i would not put it exactly like that, but. =0 VD: 0= close enough! =0
II: _I_ am not below them.
ID: so a firm slap on the wrist.
ID: aka what any highblood ever gets.
ID: unless they fucked with a higherblood.
II: I am two castes higher, and this is wrong.
SA: then call the police and we'll wait.
VD: =0 oh, don't worry, ii! =0 VD: =0 i said i'd never steal from your hive, because we were being downright frondly. =0 VD: =0 but let's be honest here! =0 VD: =0 i wouldn't steal from your hive because you're an awful stick in the mud, and i don't think anyone'll be quite impressed by your collection of troll twilight books! 0=
SA: 😮
VD: =0 u =
II: It's hardly that simple, as I'm sure you know, but I will certainly be filing this - haha, what. Oh that's amusing, considering I have no interest in that series and in fact recently derided it.
ID: also is attempted but not fully carried out murder a crime? just asking random questions i've always wondered with someone who knows law at hand.
SA: Hadean i am aggressively elbowing you in spirit.
II: Mm, technically, but it also depends on a lot of other legal codes.
VD: =0 it's only ever a crime if you get caught, id! =0 VD: =0 or if you stream it live, every night, at 6:00PM IST! =0
ID: i'm not murdering anyone pris, i'm just curious.
SA: "asking for a friend"
II: It varies by area and specific caste restriction, though I'm in favor of investigating as many attempted murders as possible.
ID: no, asking because i have a lot of free time on my hands to ask these questions!
SA: i hate you :l
II: Ignoring the small crimes usually leads to getting complacent toward the bigger ones.
ID: =:P
SA: 💚
ID: so chop the hand off the thief to send the murderers a warning kind of thing?
II: Pfft, how barbaric. Hardly.
ID: so like, then. what's the worst crimes a troll could commit?
II: Difficult question depending by what standards you're asking.
II: Castewise, the murder of a tyrian, though even that's a thorny issue given that the Condesce generally appreciates _fewer_ challengers, though there are exceptions for non-heir or heiress fuchsias.
VD: =0 oh, i know this one. 0= VD: =0 early culling a heiress! 0=
II: Please ignore VD, who is not a legal expert, and an idiot.
ID: shots fired.
VD: =0 so don't spear any princesses, id. 0= VD: =0 that's an awful big glitch to make. 0=
ID: i have yet to run in to any princesses but i'll keep it in mind.
II: But if we're talking more generally, destruction or alteration of Imperial property is a big one. That causes us a lot of issues every sweep. On a wider scale, sabotage of the fleet itself.
SA: oh i have.
SA: but they were already dead when I got there.
VD: =0 well, i say give ii all the attention they're so desperately craving. 0= VD: =0 after all, it'd be mean to steal their limelight! 0= VD: =0 even if they are droning like the speaker they were just complaining about. 0=
VD: =0 wow! 0= VD: =0 really? 0=
ID: oh i get elbowed over asking about murder, but you can talk about a dead princess?
II: I suppose it's easy to interpret my giving of facts as attention craving from the person who clearly rotates their life around that very thing.
SA: well, I wasn't involved in it.
ID: i wasn't involved in murder either but iiii still got elbowed.
SA: (also I was not serious)
SA: why would i casually asy.
SA: I found a dead heiress.
VD: =0 what? booooo. 0= VD: =0 i was excited to hear about a heiress! 0=
II: Even if you were, it's hardly my business. Fuchsia disputes are above my station.
ID: uh because you do cool shit?
II: Unless the culling was done by a lower caste.
SA: oh do you really think so?
VD: =0 there's a girl who streams and CLAIMS she's tyrian. 0= VD: =0 but i am pretty sure it's just make-up! 0=
ID: i mean dangerous but cool shit.
SA: claiming ones relation to a tyrian heiress is. unwise.
SA: 😊
II: There are violets who play at being tyrian, heaven knows why. Such a thing is not only dangerous but incredibly silly.
ID: no one here is destroying property or sabotaging the fleet ii.
ID: so what about crimes that you actually see?
SA: Oh, well, there goes my weekend plans.
SA: thank you, Hadean.
II: Haha
ID: =:P np, np.
VD: 0= gosh, id, way to be a regular buzzkill. 0= n =0
ID: that's me. head buzzkill.
II: Sometimes I deal with ones involving Imperial property, but often it's far more ordinary work. But I'm afraid we're breaking for snacks, so I'm going for a bit.
ID: well bye.
ID: snacks can be entertaining at least.
SA: ... breaking for snacls...
ID: highbloods need their snack breaks pris.
SA: oh. yes.
SA: silly. me.
ID: otherwise they get cranky! =:P

SA: 😂
SA: look at you, IJ.
ID: i did not have a guy spend twenty hours jabbing a needle in to my face to be told it's paint is2g.
II: Haha, why would they be paint? Even if they were, that's not half-paint, it wouldn't be at all suitable.
SA: wait.
SA: you actually had that tattooed onto your body.
SA: I assumed it was just. birthmarks.
ID: yes.
AA: ikrn?
SA: i.
IJ: Teal is a perfectly fine color. IJ: An> you aren't allowe> to wear excessive amount of face paint while on the job. It can get in your eyes an> can cause temporary blin>ness.

DD: oh dear
ID: no one dies, you just have to make the choice dd.

ID: i mean. burn them to ash?
SA: and many places superstitously view rainbow drinkers as culturally unacceptable despite the Imperial stance they are not real.
DD: i dont think you can get prions from kissing someone and oh dear i dont think rainbowdrinkers are really supposed to be like corpses! DD: they are walking and talking people after all and i do not think a corpse could have hair as nice as lestat or eyes as piercing as edwards
SA: so.
SA: No it would be encouraged to murder them.
DD: this is a very troubling conversation oh my goodness
ID: welcome to this chatroom almost every night dd.

SA: 🖕
ID: no damning sips for one whole night, she earned the privilege by letting me use conditioner.
SA: she can be damned for twenty minutes.
DD: well maybe you did not have very good sushi id DD: i tried the sushi out here and it was probably fake or at the very least very unfresh and really its much better when you have it properly made with fresh caught fish DD: also i just very much enjoy fish in general on account of eating it a lot of the time!
DD: and oh dear
SA: excuse me.
SA: I have excellent taste.
AA: wtf, don't i earn the prnivilege by spending an hourn brnushing yrn headfluff??
ID: that too.
AA: >:{
ID: i told you it tangles like a bitch.
ID: i t o l d you.
SA: i brought him the sushi he ate. and i am very particular about food.
DD: then maybe it is simply not to ids tastes to eat fish that wouldnt surprise me given it is probably not a part of his typical palate
ID: that's probbbsss it.
ID: i'm used to eating burgers.
ID: and squirrels.
SA: oh i've wanted to --
DD: oh ive never had a burger but ive seen them on tv a lot!
SA: ...how.
SA: I would die
ID: there's only so many things to eat in the middle of the desert pris. D:<=
SA: so fry a scorpion?
AA: you told me, but i told you it'd be, like, way bettern if you let me brnaid it. >:P AA: but w/e, w/e, it's way less tangled now, gj.
SA: leave the mammals alone...
AA: dd, go eat a burngern.
DD: !!

ID: just bite the fur off and went to t o w n.
SA: what
AA: that's the RN E A L landdwellern expernience.
AA: ain't got nothing like it.
DD: maybe i should i have been holding out in the hopes of maybe being able to get something i am used to delivered here and it has mostly resulted in me living off of lattes which is not a very good diet especially when i am attempting to be productive
SA: 🐴
DD: and they always look very good on tv though kind of weird i guess!
ID: burgers are the fucking best.
DD: theyre so..... cooked!!!

SA: I don't. know what i expected.
ID: =:P
DD: well im sure fish carry diseases too but i eat those raw all the time DD: maybe it is a matter of constitution??? DD: regardless i will definitely go eat a burger once i am done with this module do you think they would make me one without cooking the meat
ID: probably not.
DD: oh dear 😦
ID: the meat will not be. fresh.
AA: n, absolutely.
SA: actually yes.
AA: just thrnow yrn weight arnound.
DD: um!!
SA: Improperly prepared sushi can bear a number of worms and viruses.
AA: be like "I want this so frnesh it's strn8 off the hoofbeast" and they'll T O T E S go w/ it.
DD: that sounds very concerning i have had the un-fresh fish here and i am not sure i want to have the un-fresh thing i havent had yet!
SA: I wouldn't do that to Hadean.
SA: I ate sushi at the same place before I brought it to him.
AA: would you have known it's full of wornms, tho.
ID: pris has the money for the fancy stuff sips.
ID: like. pris how much did you pay for your current outfit.

SA: however, I made roughly $3500 today.
SA: catching that indigo.
SA: so.
ID: see?
AA: hads li - >:1
SA: also yes because I would have gotten the worms too.
DD: what if maybe they can cook it like a little bit but not all the way do they do that
ID: man i should have let you wire me some cash. =:/
SA: that is caled a rare burger.
SA: you missed your chance, Hadean.
DD: oh!!!!!!!! DD: so those are a thing!!!
SA: besides what was it you said about taking advantage of people.
SA: and I should watch out.
SA: :p
AA: n, too late, yrn in the brnoke-ass rnust squad, hads. AA: no take-backs!!

SA: it's all the rage now.
DD: and yes i have but i thought that meant you have a lot of the same outfit and you style it differently

ID: and style it exactly the same.
AA: omfg.

ID: sips could use some bows!
AA: fuck off, i've - oh my god.
AA: bows, like. AA: in yrn headfluff?
DD: i mean unless you are making fun of her fashion sense in general which strikes me as a little bit mean i am sure that you dress just fine!!
DD: and yes!! DD: and also i have one on my back!
DD: like at the top of my shorts its very fun to twirl with and it is nice and gauzy in the wind its almost like swimming again!
ID: sips, you twirl right?
AA: i
AA: have nevern twirnled so much in my goddamn life as i would, uh, with a bow.
AA: >:?
DD: i mean if twirling is not your thing i am sure we can find you something else its not like the style i like for myself is what everyone else likes to wear
ID: we'll find a style all your own sips!
DD: yes exactly!! 😄 ❤
AA: hahaha. >:}
AA: well, y, as long as we find one forn hads too. AA: did you know he's got fluff down to his glutes??
SA: oh, yes.
DD: yes i saw earlier when we were doing selfies and i think you said that you are the one that brushed it and i wanted to say that you did a very good job and it looked very beautiful!
ID: sips has a funner figure to shop for i think. we should focus on her.
SA: please, style it too.
DD: and yes we can find a style for everyone you and me and id and sa!!
ID: she's famous y'know.
SA: we could loop braids and put a bun in the back.
SA: very chic.
DD: and oh dear is she i am sorry i did not realize
SA: woodland chic, even.
ID: she needs famous fashion flair.
DD: omg!!! that sounds very fun maybe we could get some bright colors
DD: and something more flowy for id though i guess not so much that it is elven even though i admit that is the thought i had between the hair and the braids and such
ID: ...flowy.
SA: oh so.
DD: do you not like flowy we dont have to do flowy i just thought it would look nice with your hair maybe
SA: legolas.
SA: it's your favorite, Hadean.
ID: pris. D:<=
SA: alright, alright.
ID: i need stuff that won't get caught up on stuff.
DD: omg haha we can totally do something like that!!
ID: i do a lot of climbing and fighting and stuff. adventurer and all.
DD: oh that makes sense you are an adventurer after all!
DD: i suppose we will just have to see when it is time to pick out items what you like best and what matches with it !! ^_^
SA: Oh, look.
SA: I just had an extended case come up for this perigee.
SA: I'll be stuck in Provenance, I suppose.
SA: I'm very sorry.
ID: D:<= what a fucking shame.
AA: whaaaaaat.
AA: >:'{
DD: oh!! 😦 DD: that is very unfortunate but maybe we can do another time! DD: i hope it is not too much work for you i recall you mentioning you finished another case recently and really that seems like a lot of effort so i definitely wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!!
SA: ...yes.
SA: it was. exhausting.
AA: it's okay, dd, we can all totes go shopping next time in prnovidence.
AA: why, i hearn they've got the best burngerns on the entirne continent.
AA: full of, like, hoofbeast meat, and blood, and shit.
SA: ...
SA: you know what, I changed my mind.
SA: I won't take that case.
AA: >;0!
AA: dd, show me pics of yrn bow, btw.
DD: i do not think i want to eat anything that is full of feces!
AA: ..........
AA: ..........................
DD: and omg! DD: yes one moment!
AA: >:??
DD: and oh dear i am sorry i think i misunderstood the terminology that you used
ID: no actual shit in the burgers. don't worry.
DD: it is late and i am a little bit tired i am afraid!
ID: unless you go to the reaaallly cheap places.
DD sent thefluffiestbow.png
DD: but yes oh my goodness that all sounds very fun and we should totally visit sa!
SA: i believe that's beyond cheap, Hadean.
SA: no. No please don't.
DD: oh
DD: um!!! DD: sorry
SA: Providence is full of. Crime.
SA: and trafficking. yes.
DD: oh dear
SA: It would be very unsafe for Sipara or Hadean to visit.
DD: oh dear!!
ID: we're strong rusties, we'll manage.
SA: 🤦
DD: are you sure you are doing alright then sa i mean that sounds like a lot of trouble!
AA: aww, prni, therne's no need to get all concerned abt us. AA: we'rne strnong independent rnusties and we'll manage. besides, we'rne wornrnied abt Y O U.
AA: that city sounds RN O U G H.
SA: i am quite alright, thank you.
AA: also. okay. ngl. AA: that's a qt fucking bow.
ID: clearly we should go visit to give you some support!
ID: but if you're soooo concerned.
ID: we can go to the port city dd mentioned.
SA: Yes.
SA: yes let's do that.
DD: omg haha tyvm aa i am very happy you think so!
DD: and oh dear maybe it would be good to go to the city! DD: sa sounds like they maybe dont want to be in their city all that very much and it would be a good chance for them to get out!
SA: no, I rather like my city, thank you.
ID: i haven't seen the ocean in like. 3 sweeps.
SA: I have a view of it from my loft.
DD: i am very confused about who wants to go to what city now!
SA: it becomes less. awestriking. when you see it every day.
ID: we're going to the port city that is actually a port. and not riddled with crime.
AA: .. idk, but you ppl sornt it out. AA: i gotta get a trnuck tmrnw, and. idk. wherne the fuck you get those.
AA: so i'm gonna go figurne that out. >:?
SA: a ... dealership?
ID: do i have to sit in the middle.
DD: i suppose id did just decide where we were going so that is that!
SA: --
SA: oh that will be. good.
AA: y, lal alrneady called windowseat, soz.
ID: gdi.
ID: i hope it's roomy. =:I
AA: i do not have sa's mad buxxx, so, like, lmfao. AA: y. let's hope. >:}
AA: crnoss yrn frnonds!!
ID: my horns are gonna scrape the top of it probably. =:'(
SA: I'd offer you all a ride but I only ride a motorcycle.
DD: oh dear that sounds uncomfortable!
DD: maybe we could go to a salon and have your horns polished if they get scraped id!
SA: I think he meant he would scrape the felt off the roof.
DD: hornicures sounds nice it has been a while since i have had one after all it is a little bit embarrassing to go into a salon with broken horns
DD: and oh well they are nice regardless!
ID: what's a hornicure.
DD: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DD: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DD: its when you go to a salon with your friends and you have them sand your horns and polish them and glaze them!!
DD: and sometimes you can put on really cute designs or accessories like rings and
SA: You know.
ID: hahahah sand my horns.
DD: its really very very fun!!
SA: as we do, Hadean.
ID: i had them polished like a week ago. for the first time.
DD: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DD: we are definitely getting you a hornicure!!!!!!!!!
DD: you will love it!!!!!
SA: in all seriousness, I need to go lie down again. I am rather dizzy.
ID: =:I does it hurt.
SA: i will see you all later.
DD: oh dear that sounds very alarming maybe it is because you were working so much
DD: i wish you a restful sleep please be well!
ID: ...yeah... rough night. =:I bye pris.
DD: and no they do not hurt at all! DD: it sometimes pinches your cuticles a little bit if the people doing it are not very experienced but we will go somewhere good to make sure nobody hurts you! DD: i want your first hornicure to be really really nice!
ID: uh how often do they deal with floating horns.
DD: ....
ID: perhaps i am not cut out for hornicures.
DD: probably not very often!!
DD: well they could still do your other two horns!!
DD: and i am sure doing a floating horn would be even easier since it is not that big and has no cuticles!
ID: i mean my floating horn is like. bigger than sips' horns combined.
DD: well it is not bigger than both of your other horns combined and i am sure they get plenty of customers with very large horns so it should not be a concern dont worry! ^_^
ID: i mean... i guess.
DD: really you do not need to be afraid i promise they are very relaxing and soothing and make you feel really super nice!!
ID: i mean really i'm just a lil wary of your willingness to wanna do this stuff with some rusties.
ID: we're a little. out of your lane.
DD: .... oh
DD: um!
DD: what do you mean??
ID: i mean. why do you wanna hang with us.
DD: because you guys have all been very nice and introduced me to burgers and you seem like a lot of fun!
DD: and i havent gone shopping or gotten a hornicure with some friends in ages and it seems like it would be a really nice time!
DD: and also you need more than two outfits!!!
ID: i guess that's a better reason than most have.
DD: oh dear
DD: i am sorry if i have reminded you of bad past experiences i promise i am just looking to make some new friends and you guys have seemed very friendly so far
ID: it's fine, a rust just has to be a lil wary.
ID: i mean. we're the same shade as the trolls you probably have testing your stuff. whatever that is.
DD: i understand!!! DD: at least i think i do??? DD: um! DD: i do not want to say the wrong thing!
DD: and actually there are mostly yellowbloods in the facility though there are some brown and maroonbloods around and some olives and there is even one cerulean psychic roaming around!!! DD: or maybe two DD: um i admittedly cannot really tell if there is one or just two that look very similar it has been very confusing
ID: pfff you must mean gliese.
ID: and... not-gliese.
DD: oh does that mean there are two??
DD: that is a relief to know i was beginning to think that i was going to talk about them at one point and get it wrong
ID: yeah there's two, dw.
ID: but yeah. facility stuff can make some of us rusties a little wary.
DD: well if it makes you feel any better i am not working for them they have just volunteered to allow me to offer to their participants who would like to try out some of my new prototypes that are in the troll trials stage!
DD: they are all very safe and such the only issues are with connection speed
DD: and integration capacity!
ID: if you say so. i have no idea what that stuff means.
DD: it mostly means that when things go wrong it just makes people feel like things are going really slow or not all the way until they disconnect!
DD: but i cant really go into more detail than that
DD: because it is technically still in beta!
ID: ...that does not really clear up the confusion but okay.
DD: but yes i am not fleet i am a member of a private organization and i do not think i am actually old enough to work for the empire
ID: man now they're drafting young seadwellers.
ID: does no wriggler get a break these days.
ID: what happened to leaving a troll be until they hit ascension.
DD: wait what
DD: are you being sarcastic or did you misread what i wrote?
DD: i am having a hard time telling over the internet!
ID: that's my charm dd, i'm sarcastic and truthful at the same time.
DD: !!!!
ID: mostly truthful-y rn tho.
DD: that sounds like a very confusing sort of charm!
ID: you get used to it.
DD: but yes i suppose then i should clarify that i said that i am not conscripted at all!
DD: and am likely too young to be so
ID: but you're... working for a company that works for the fleet?
DD: in fact my best friend and i have started our own company and it has grown to quite a large size!! DD: the fleet has actually purchased a contract with us recently
ID: looks like some hazy ass lines right there.
DD: oh no we are working with the fleet and it is our honor to due so but it is our own startup and it is contract-based product supply!
DD: i do not work with the fleet directly even the pr things are mostly my good friends strong suit i am mostly research and development
ID: if you say so. seems like a confusing mess to me.
DD: well!!
ID: but i'm not a. researcher.
DD: there is working for somebody as in you are hired buy them
DD: and then there is them coming into your restaurant to buy a meal
DD: in the latter situation you are not working for them they are simply making a purchase!
DD: that is what we are like!!
ID: oh. okay.
ID: i guess you must be good, if they're buying from you and not like. an adult.
DD: i try to be humble most times but it is true that we are very very good!! DD: though i muse credit my good friend with a lot of it because admittedly the product does not make the company and there are plenty of fabulous inventors around that have gotten nowhere so it is their talent at management that has gotten us this far
ID: sounds like a complicated balance of you making good stuff and then being able to sell it well.
DD: yes exactly!!!
II: Management does tend to factor more into successfully selling products than pure talent, I'm afraid.
DD: it has probably been obvious as of late but i am not the best people person so i am very grateful to my friend for putting up with some of my silliness in the past and handling the business side of things
II: Not that I am doubting DD, but unfortunately surface appearances are usually what trolls consider when buying.
DD: i do not think i would have even thought to sell any of my work without them!
II: Oh, don't be so hard on yourself, DD.
II: You are perfectly pleasant
II: Merely a bit unpolished
DD: oh well i am very glad that you think so haha i am glad that i have not misstepped too much yet
II: DD, trust me.
DD: and that is one way of putting it!! DD: but hopefully i will be able to polish myself more soon and maybe the first step is going to get our horns polished id >:D
II: I have moved in highblood circles since I was a very young troll, and have observed _far_ greater errors than any you've made.
ID: maybe you two should go on a. hornicure trip.
DD: but we are already going on one together!! DD: you do not need to have them that often but maybe some time later ii and i can besides we are already going to a restaurant in civitrecce ^_^
II: We can certainly go for a hornicure trip afterward, if it wouldn't be too much time out of your schedule!
ID: i mean me and sips are traveling rn, we won't be back in port port for a while.
DD: well yes and i would love to but it would be pointless since id and i are already getting our horns done but maybe we can do a movie or our claws instead or something??
DD: and that is okay id i am not free at this exact moment anyways and admittedly i do not actually know when people want to hang out
DD: i was hoping it is kind of soon so that i could have my first burger with you guys but i suspect that i may have to break and go eat before then!!
ID: yeah def go eat.
ID: try some chicken tho.
ID: and rice.
ID: chicken and rice are good together.
DD: okay! I have had rice with fish so hopefully rice with chicken is just as good!
DD: speaking of which i should probably go do that right now to be honest my stomach is positively hurting now that i pay attention to it and i have had nothing but trollbucks all night!
DD: ...day!
DD: hopefully there are places open this late!
ID: you'll find something i'm sure. g'day.
DD: good day!!!! ❤ i am very excited to go shopping with you!
