[network] @gardenGnostic; video; FYI trolls are garbage; Day 88 [open]

[eclecticbassist]

[ Well, Vriska got right down to business being terrible. Jade figures she should warn everyone to expect similar bullshit in the future, so in true PSA form she's talking to the camera; her dog ears are held back in distress. ]

Hi, everyone. So... what happened yesterday was awful-- what happened to Vriska, I mean. I guess I wanted to explain why she would agree to be... you know, murdered. On camera. [ Insert long-suffering sigh here. ]

You've probably noticed that she is not human. She belongs to a species called trolls, and they are, um, pretty messed up; that stunt she pulled might even be tame by their standards. Violence is basically a troll's first response to a problem, in excess. They're melodramatic like that. [ She makes a huffing noise that was supposed to be a humorless laugh. ]

Oh, and there are two more here; you might want to avoid them if you're squeamish. I doubt they will pick any fights with other species, though, so don't worry about anyone... else coming after you. Just be careful not to become collateral damage.

And look out for the horns, I guess.

[ Kinda fucked up how accustomed Jade has become to this nonsense. ]

do you mean the numbers thing? theyre not really codes
some trolls just replace certain letters (and sounds, in vriskas) case with numbers

[0thingsonmymind]

*???*

they arenot
code?

*They--well, mostly Terezi's--looked like code. Granted code he hasn't figured out yet, but still code.*

[eclecticbassist]

nope!
just kind of hard to read ;P
it is a social thing

[0thingsonmymind]

*??????*

why
?

[eclecticbassist]

it is just something all trolls do
a custom
kind of like shaking hands

[0thingsonmymind]

sha king han ds ?

*You cannot be surprised.*

[eclecticbassist]

[ Of course not. ]

it is something lots of people do when they meet for the first time
but anyway shaking hands was obviously a bad example
i guess typing quirks are like......
not covering your face :P
just something people do

[0thingsonmymind]

iam not sure
i
getit

*Covering his face had DEEP MEANING, alright. He's not sure if troll typing could be the same level of important.*

[ UMMMMM fish puns are clearly the key to all life's mysteries??? Cod, Brian. ]

i think everyone else feels the same way about some of YOUR habits, hehe
you cant explain why, but things like how you type are important somehow right?
not doing them would feel wrong
maybe that is how typing quirks feel to trolls

[0thingsonmymind]

*Don't be silly. Clearly its replacing letters with numbers that'll give you the meaning of life.*

ifyou say so

*He's still not sure he gets it but he doesn't think he'll get anything else from this line of questioning.*
