#pumpkins dont movwe on their owvn. cmon guys this is easy.#ic

i fer one think vwe should embrace this revwolutionary newv idea that evwerything is a person and should be treated like one.

#vwhy the fuck not? its not like it could make the vworld vworse.#ic #mobile post

quelledquetzlcoatl replied to your post: vwork is something someone doesnt vwanna do but...

why do it if you dont want to do it.

so ya can eat. i said that already, ya gotta pay attention.

in most societies, food costs money. ya get money by vworkin. so ya vwork so ya can eat.

#some people hunt their owvn food or find it but thats not the norm.#and moneys good fer other shit too.#quelledquetzlcoatl #ic

vwork is something someone doesnt vwanna do but they do it anyvway so they can eat and livwe comfortably. usually ya vwork fer someone else and that person gets to say vwhat you can and cant do vwhile yer vworkin.

#generally its a shitty practice.#quelledquetzlcoatl #ic

It takes awhile. It’s one thing to say you’ll find a transportalizer; it’s another thing to actually do so. That’s one of the downsides of living such a transient lifestyle, you guess.

So perhaps it’s a little unexpected, by the time you start to unload your backpack onto the pad and send things through, one useless junk item priceless heirloom at a time. You never actually get the go-ahead from your contact, nor do you ever actually ask for it.

The first thing you send is a bookend with a bronze finish, which you know to be fake because it definitely doesn’t have a metal’s weight to it. It looks real good though; it’s some variant on a cholerbear, with four arms up to brace the books and two legs planted firmly on the base.

You realize the irony in trading a bookend for a book, but aren’t gonna bring it up yourself.

Just in case that’s not enough, you also send through a decorative plate with only one chip in the side, right through where the grimly painted lowblood and her lusus were about to hand an unknown item to the unknown troll to their left. The paint’s fading and the carvings are worn smooth in places, but you can make out most of the daisy chain of trolls. It’s tasteful, you think, with your limited knowledge of art -- it’s just too bad you don’t have a stand for it.

You throw in a gambling coin, too. Nobody you know uses those because they don’t have any real worth, but some of them have neat symbols and make good conversation pieces. This one has a knife on one side and a shield on the other.

You figure that will probably be enough. You pick your bag up again and retreat to a safe distance to wait for your share in return.

I suppose that vvas a silly question 8ut it is quite mindblovving to grasp.

It’s likely a mixture of all of the a8ove, if you really think a8out it.

hey, im free to blowv yer mind anytime.

like i said, im no scientist, or theorist evwen. all i knowv is the sun doesnt kill me and the nights fuckin dark.

#hell yeah.#not so much into bein called cute though thanks.#8ioluminescent #ic

8ioluminescent:

Really novv. That sounds interesting… so can you see during the day or hovv does that vvork? I’m genuinely curious.

It’s Vriska. The pleasure’s all yours.

itd make it pretty damn hard to get around if vwe couldnt see vwhere vwe vwvere going, yeah. i dont knowv howv it, uh, vworks, because thats just sort of the vway it is and has alvways been, as far as i knowv.

maybe yer sun is harsher than ours or yer atmosphere is thinner or something. i mean, im not a climatologist, but that sounds like a good guess to me.

or vwe could just be totally different trolls fer all i knowv.

#oho yer cocky. nice. im a fan.#8ioluminescent #ic

8ioluminescent:

Is that really such a 8ig surprise. As far as I knovv, all trolls are nocturnal and some just adopt a diurnal schedule for vvhatever their reasons might 8e.

You’re vvelcome, either vvay.

my planets diurnal actually, so its sort of a surprise, but hey, different sun strokes fer different sunny folks.

anyvway, im cronus, and its a pleasure, im sure.

#fer you but also fer me. ZZ;)#8ioluminescent #ic
