I Can See By Now That I Am Not The Only Member Of My Species Here And No Less Confused Than Anybody Else
Even If I Have Never Been Much Of A Sylph The Presence Of Space Is Reassuring I Guess
Maybe On Behalf Of Trolls I Should Apologize For The One Who Has Apparently Been Our Representative But I Refuse To Take Responsibility For Him
He Can Hang Himself With His Own Pompous Overbearing And Self Important Noose
I Am Not Bailing Him Out Or Attempting To Make Reparations For His Attitude I Dont Got To Do Anything About That
My Questions Are A Bit More Mundane
What Is There To Do
I Will Not Waste Time With What Is The Point What Was The Purpose Of Bringing Us Here I Dont Expect There To Be A Satisfying Answer To That
But What Is There To Do Productively
I Appreciate The Vast Amounts Of Materials With Which To Keep Myself Entertained But
It Feels A Little Limiting
Are There Any Spaces In This Ship Which Are Not Solely Devoted To Ship Functioning With The Mechanics That Implies Or At Least Make Some Passing Attempt For An Environment
More Specifically Are There Any Plants At All
Barring That Fabrics
I Think I Will Start To Become Very Restless If I Dont Find A Way To Keep Myself Occupied

What Allowances Do They Make Regarding Diet

[REGULAR TEXT: I can see by now that I am not the only member of my species here and no less confused than anybody else.
Even if I have never been much of a sylph the presence of space is reassuring I guess.
Maybe on behalf of trolls I should apologize for the one who has apparently been our representative but I refuse to take responsibility for him.
He can hang himself with his own pompous, overbearing and self-important noose.
I am not bailing him out or attempting to make reparations for his attitude, I don't got to do anything about that.
My questions are a bit more mundane.
What is there to do?
I will not waste time with what is the point, what was the purpose of bringing us here, I don't expect there to be a satisfying answer to that.
But what is there to do productively?
I appreciate the vast amounts of materials with which to keep myself entertained but...
It feels a little limiting.
Are there any spaces in this ship which are not solely devoted to ship functioning with the mechanics that implies or at least make some passing attempt for an environement?
More specifically are there any plants at all?
Barring that, fabrics?
I think I will start to become very restless if I don't find a way to keep myself occupied.
Also, er.
What allowances do they make regarding diet?]

There are two points in which you are correct. I am and adult and a fugitive, of sorts. Coincidentally, the one who bore your sign before you is someone I happen to owe my life to.

It is still confusing to me why young trolls seem to fear adults. This is not something I am accustomed to, as there were many young ones I had met on my travels. As there is some apprehension, allow me to come to a compromise which will also answer all of the questions my responses ignite.

[ Eridan has already seen him, actually. so have a few others. there is no one here that wants his life and thus there is no reason to always be hidden. so he turns on the video feed, a soft smile still on his features. ]

I apologize for what you may see as deception. Now it should be obvious why I could not offer a sign in return. There simply is none for someone like I.

text; I'm so sorry for the delay, I got so sick

[She doesn't turn on her own video just yet. It's a bit of a shock, you see, like looking at Karkat through a mirror that would age him just a few sweeps.]

Oh
I See

[She doesn't, exactly, but it's getting clearer.]

You Are Karkats Ancestor
I Dont Know That He Ever Even Believed That He Had One As Far As I Know He Thought Himself Alone
He Has A Sign Though Would That Not Be Yours As Well
And You Knew My Ancestor
I Am Finding Myself At A Loss For Words Here I Did Not Actually Think I Would Learn Anything About Her Let Alone Meet Someone Who Knew Her Or Someone Directly Related To My Friends

video; it's all right!

[sermonize]

I hear that I am. If you are the ones that escape Alternia and he is the one that leads? Then yes, he and I are of the same blood. How he would come to have a sign, I do not know. My visions only show me so much, you see.

[ he smiles, all warmth. her ancestor... his 'mother' as humans would say. ]

Though the reason that I know your ancestor so well? She would be the one that raised me.

[vestalvogue]

What

[And she finally fumbles around, trying to turn on the video.]

Are you saying my ancestor was your lusus?

[Only the Dolorosa probably never glowed like a lightbulb, nor probably ever allowed herself to look so flustered and surprised. At least, Kanaya would imagine her that way.]

[sermonize]

[ that is... well that is interesting and no, he can't say that she glowed like that... ]

Yes, she was.

[vestalvogue]

[It's a long story Sufferer.]

How is that possible?

[sermonize]

She found me in a crater and decided that my best chances of survival were if I was to be raised by her hand. After all, I could not have a Lusus of my own.
