[seadweller]

Hmm.. okay.. I guess I will just have to wait for them to show up, then!

[She probably seems a lot more cheerful that one should in this situation, but hey, being here beats being dead right?]

So what happens in this place? Why are we here?

Anenomeone stands for anyone!
)(ee)(ee I was making a pun.
38)

I just explained to t)(e girl I met about t)(e buckets, it is an instrument in reproduction and I don't want to )(ave to explain it!

[seadweller]

Toy? What?

[onemistress]

[Okay what. What. She knew women were sometimes told odd things when it came to what happened between a man and a woman.

But no version of that coming of age right ever involved a bucket.]

Forgive me... what? A bucket? I -- how?

Oh, I get it now. It's sort of cute. [Yeah, not touching the 38) thing. He doesn't know what smileys are.

Oh. Oh. Uh. Yeah, he doesn't wanna know.] That's...fine, you don't have to explain. I'm good with just that.

[chrysalis_ex]

I feeling they might.

[ Considering how death isn't a permanent thing here, then yes, it's better. ]

We're here because we're...toys. [ Grimace. ] And nothing much happens except during the weeks when Libitina "plays" with us. It could be from anything, like messing with your heads, to ghosts...and other things.

[action]

[seadweller]

So we're just meant to stay here and wait for someone to do cruel things to us?

Can't we just leave nd go back to where we came from?

GR-EAT!
So, w)(o are you a anyway?
My name's Feferi it's nice to meet you!

[seadweller]

[Actual tint of fushia blush appearing on her cheeks now, is she actually going to have to explain this?]

Couples' genetic material is placed in it, then the drones carry it to the Mother Grub, alright!

I don't really want to talk about it any more...

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

They won't let you go back, that's the problem. People have tried one way or the other already... [ It's a frustrating thing to be like a sitting duck. ]

[action]

[seadweller]

So I just have to... stay here? And do nothing?

[historyrabbit]

The name is Lavi, I'm the redhead in that video I linked. Nice to meet you Feferi.

[gatherstoys]

You toy.

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

...Ah. Sort of... [ Apologetically. ] We're just the entertainment.

[seadweller]

I'm not a toy thank you very much, I'll have you know I'm actually royalty.

[seadweller]

O)( t)(at was you?
Nice to meet you properly t)(en!

[seadweller]

That sounds... boring. What do you do to stop yourselves from going crazy?

[onemistress]

[Elizabeth just keeps staring and then clears her throat pointedly. If she was matter of fact about it as possible.]

Then I can see why there's been... this mistake. Humans do not... create children in such a manner. At all.

[...]

Ever.

!

[seadweller]

Troll life is very different to human culture! I don't know about all the differences, just little bits I learned when talking to some human kids!

!!!

[onemistress]

Oh I think if that's the first indication... then there is a lot more for us both to figure out.

[she shakes her head. Oh dear this was going to be strange.]

Well, in any case, I am sure it can be taken away from you if it bothers you. Aside from that, it's a pleasure, my lady. I'm Elizabeth Tudor.

!!

[seadweller]

Hi, Elizabeth! I'm Feferi!

Hehe, this is my first time speaking to an adult human, it's really strange! But exciting, glub!

~!!!~

[onemistress]

Feferi? What a lovely name.

Ah, well. We do change a little as we grow up. Hopefully become more mature, but in my experience not always.

Has someone explained this place to you yet?

!*!*!*!*!

[seadweller]

Thank you, I think Elizabether is a really pretty name too! Trolls don't have names that are that long, they all contain six letters!

They did, I met a really nice girl who came over and explained it all to me.

!i!i!i!

[onemistress]

Really? Why ever not? My name is hardly that long, and it's fairly common.

Well I suppose that's the best start you can have here. Are you hungry at all? Things are a bit bare here, but it's at least edible.

[seadweller]

It is just tradition. We get rid of our names once we reach adulthood anyway, in exchange for a title.

..I am a little hungry, actually. I haven't had the chance to eat in quite a while, what do you have?
