Hey.
[Cassel gives his tablet an exaggerated wave.]
So I was talking to Winter earlier, and she agreed to make an app for me. Whatever it is will interface with the technology around town wirelessly, or so she says, so we can use it on the servers in town hall. You know, assuming we ever get there. Anyway, she didn't actually give it to me yet, but I'll keep you all updated.
[A shining beacon of positivity. He sighs, raking his hand through his hair.]
In other news, my feet are fucking freezing, because no one gave me the heads up that I'd be taking the vacation from hell in the middle of Bumfuck, Alaska, so I need some shoes. Or socks, whatever, I'm not picky. I'll trade for them, but don't waste my time and try to scalp me. [There's the slightest pause.] Uh, thanks.

OK YEAH IT ISN'T IDEAL BUT THE IMPERIAL DRONES ONLY VISIT ADULTS, SO THAT GIVES YOU TIME WHEN YOU'RE YOUNGER TO FIGURE THAT SHIT OUT.
UNLESS YOUR KISMESIS OR MATESPRIT DIES LATER, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO.
private
i wouldnt want to live a lifelong fuck or die scenario
i mean how does that impact relationships
do people just stay together even if theyre unhappy because the other option is death
how do you guarantee you have the right relationship in time
and having to have two of them is even worse because thats just more complications
at least the other quadrants sound freer with no sex or death involved but how do you even relax enough to enjoy the relationship if you have that kind of pressure waiting behind you
private
FROM WHAT I'VE GATHERED, YOU DO YOUR BEST.
AND YES I REALIZE THAT'S AN UNSATISFYING ANSWER BUT IT'S NOT LIKE ANYONE ON ALTERNIA HAS ANY REAL EXPOSURE TO THIS SHIT OUTSIDE OF WHATEVER MEDIA WE HAVE ACCESS TO.
THAT'S WHY THE STUFF I OUTLINED ELSEWHERE IS SO IMPORTANT AND WHY WE NEED AUSPISTICES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT'S ALL REALLY COMPLICATED AND, AS YOU NOW KNOW, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
private
im not really sure what to say at this point that isnt like
me stomping all over your culture in my horror at it
i know its what you grew up with and you cant really help that so im not like
judging you personally about it
but im really glad i didnt have to deal with that kind of situation
private
THANKS, I GUESS? FOR NOT GOING ON ABOUT HOW AWFUL IT WAS.
AND I MEAN, WHATEVER. THAT'S THE WAY THINGS WERE.
[And he probably wouldn't have survived long enough for it to matter to him personally, so. lol]
private
sorry
private
private
private
YOU'RE TRYING. THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
Re: private
[Unlike Dave, he feels fundamentally like he's bad friend material.]
is there something good from troll society that you miss
if you want to talk about a positive
private
MOSTLY THE ROMCOMS. EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TALK HERE.
AND MY GAME GRUBS. TROLL INTERNET. SPENDING 12TH PERIGEE'S EVE WITH MY LUSUS.
[His friends.]
STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? OH AND THE FOOD, SINCE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NO CHANCE AT ALL I'M GETTING ANY GRUBLOAF IN THIS PLACE.
private
i miss my old music and tv shows and even my dumb glitchy xbox games
but whats 12th perigees eve
or a perigee for that matter
private
private
and after troll will smith i cant really complain
what kind of lusus did you have though
you said nepetas was a cat right
private
HE WAS A BIPEDAL CRAB MONSTER.
private
this place is pretty boring during downtime so i have to pass my time somehow
but if were going to get to know each other at all i kind of have to ask this stuff unless i want to stay totally blind on how your culture works
which would probably lead to a bunch of mishaps considering just how different some of it sounds
like the crab thing
how does a crab raise a troll baby i cant even imagine
private
ANYWAY, THE NUANCED DISTINCTIONS ARE [BLAH BLAH BLAH NO ONE KNOWS] AND OUR LUSII BRING BACK BEHEMOTH LEAVINGS FOR US TO DECORATE.
[This is clearly the important part.]
HOW OUR LUSII HAVE THE FAINTEST CLUE WHAT TO DO WITH US, I DON'T KNOW. CENTURIES OF BREEDING, I GUESS? YOU'D HAVE TO ASK KANAYA.
private; thanks Hussie
but im just going to like
not ask what a behemoth leaving is
it sounds weird and not in a pleasant way
but ok
if kanaya shows up ill ask her the lusus stuff
i gotta grill her about rose anyway so theres another thing for the agenda
private; every time
JUST BE AWARE THAT KANAYA ABSOLUTELY CAN AND WILL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU PISS HER OFF.
private;
private;
NO BUT SHE NEVER FORGETS A GRUDGE AND THIS IS HER MATESPRIT YOU'RE PLANNING ON INTERROGATING HER ABOUT.
TO BORROW YOUR PHRASE, DON'T BE A DICK TO HER.
private;
im just worried about my sister
private;
A pause, then—]
I'M NOT SURE KANAYA UNDERSTOOD THE IMPLICATIONS ANY BETTER THAN I DID.
private;
the grilling here is metaphorical
gotta manage those heat on those coals or else that burger turns black
theres a difference between charbroiled and charcoal
but if kanaya was her girlfriend then she probably has the best chance of knowing whats up with rose
like whats on her mind and so on
and maybe i just want to get to know my sisters gf in general
private;
[And that's more or less what he'd figured, but even so... god. Even stretched out over the course of three years instead of a few hours, he should have known what his team falling apart looked like.]
I THINK YOU'LL LIKE HER. KANAYA'S REALLY COOL.
