==> Slaier: Explore [/size][/b] So begins the Legend of Slaier. (Now available on your Grubtendo Entertainment Grub for the low low price of 20 boondollars) The make a long story short, you happened upon some monsters in a sealed off room. Come to think of it, the monsters would explain why it was sealed off. But, more importantly, the sprays of candy red blood are mesmerizing. You have never seen a shade of red this beautiful. The blood both excites and perplexes you, it isn't a color normally found among the red blooded trolls on Alternia, yet it isn't so close to tyrian purple that you would normally like it. You have no idea why you feel this way or why the monsters bleed such a strange color.
You begin cleaning up the mess you made, AKA stuffing the corpses into any nook they will fit in, you stop to scoop up some of the blood in a small vial and store that in your sylladex.

==> keep following the noises Actually they've stopped by now, but you know the general direction they came from. And hey you aren't actually even going anything since you got pretty much every room you had access to clean so why not explore a bit finally? Otherwise you'd probably just sit around and be self-destructive, although in all fairness you're going to do that anyway. ==> hey look at that door You mean the one that's not attached to the hinges? Okay yeah sure. Looks like something happened there and you can sort of hear some sounds coming from the room. You just hope it isn't some terrible monster or something. Or at the very least, it's a small terrible monster. FAILOW: hello? FAILOW: is sometone there?

==> Slaier: Emerge [/size][/b] You exit the room. Candy red stains cover your hands and pants, but otherwise you leave the room as clean as it was before you kicked the door in, if not more so. You hear a familiar voice and look in the direction it came from. Sure enough, it's Faillow, the chocolate blood who knows no fear. It occurs to you that you're STILL shirtless and wearing Strern's blood, you hope he doesn't think you're a monster.
Not that he wouldn't be right, you just don't want him to think it.
[/justify] SLAIER: Faillow. SLAIER: It's been a while.. SLAIER: How have you been? [/spoiler]

==> oh its just the highblood Thank gog. He isn't as terrifying as most of the monsters around here. But on closer inspection, that is to say using your eyes to look at him, he appears to be covered in colored liquids that may or may not be blood. FAILOW: oh FAILOW: hi FAILOW: uhm FAILOW: are you... FAILOW: okay? FAILOW: cause you sort of look like uhm FAILOW: sopmething happened maybe FAILOW: unless its none of my business of course You really hope that isn't blood. That red though... Trolls shouldn't have that color of blood, so it might just be from the monsters. He was killing monsters. Yes. You're just going to keep telling yourself that.

==> Slaier: Reassure [/size][/b] You consider how to best explain. A test? Is this daring, death defying troll testing you? Seeing if you've got the stones to confess crimes that certain traitors perceive you to be guilty of? Of course he is. This is a troll who grew up telling Rainbow drinkers that they could go right to hell with one of his horns lodged up their asses, the mere notion of him being frightened by you is laughable.
[/justify] SLAIER: Not to me. SLAIER: But many things happened to the cerulean blood, the most recent of which involved me cutting his arm off. SLAIER: However, I assume you mean this..fascinating red? SLAIERS: The monsters, they were filled with it. It got all over me when I burst them like fleshy troll pinatas. [/spoiler]

==> that is not very reassuring You haven't met the blueblood though that you recall, though, so you aren't too concerned. Maybe they deserved it. Maybe Slaier is actually just a psychopath murderer. Who knows? As long as he isn't psychopathically murdering you it's all okay. FAILOW: oh FAILOW: well then FAILOW: i guess thats mostly okay FAILOW: its sort of a nice color FAILOW: it must be getting sticky though FAILOW: you should probably clean it off soon FAILOW: you know before it stains anything FAILOW: and stuff And also because you need to appease your borderline neurotic need to keep everything clean.

==> Slaier: Shrug [/size][/b] You haven't had a chance to wash since you dealt with Strern. You back into the room you just came out of, you recall that it may have had something like a sink that you could wash your hands in. Within mere moments you reemerge, all bloood save for the X on your chest cleaned off, you even managed to pull your backup pants out of your capchalogue. You are, however, still shirtless, you are beginning to like the feeling of the meteor's acrid air on your skin.
In the back of your mind, you are still impressed with Failow. You tell him you cut off a troll's arm and his first concern is that yo might feel uncomfortable covered in blood. That's what a real friend is, you know that much.
[/justify] SLAIER: I'll take care of the cerulean later. SLAIER: It's become something of a conversation starter for me. SLAIER: Also a warning. The warning being that I am fed up with this fatalist attitude everyone seems to have, and also that I am slightly interested in painting my body with blood. SLAIER: Not sure why that last one is even a thing for me. SLAIER: Probably caught something from Caegar. SLAIER: Anyway, what are you even do-that's a stupid question. You're still cleaning? [/spoiler]

==> thats not even healthy For one, blood is sort of icky and should stay inside the body. And second, you never know what diseases things are carrying. Plus just going around murdering things is a bad habit to get into. Not that you're going to tell him that. Better to not piss him off because he's waaay stronger and more terrifying that you. FAILOW: kinda but not really FAILOW: i sort of got everythiong i could get to clean FAILOW: so ibve been wanderiong around FAILOW: looking for other stuff to clean FAILOW: and FAILOW: stuff FAILOW: but uhm FAILOW: you havenmt actually killed anyone right? FAILOW: besides the mosnters i mean FAILOW: because i dont think it would be a very good idea to start killing our teammates FAILOW: and stuff FAILOW: just in case we ever go get off this rock

==> Slaier: Confess [/size][/b] How do you answer that without seeming like a psycho? You hesitate for a moment. You haven't killed anyone, yet, but the thought is there, and you're completely willing to kill anyone at this point. It seems that violence and fear are the only things these trolls respond to, because trying to be friends and encouraging them to have hope that they could be Jack didn't fucking work at all.
[/justify] SLAIER: I haven't killed anyone, no. SLAIER: I'm not an idiot. SLAIER: Most of you are somewhat useful when it comes to combat. SLAIER: And I dare not harm the jade blood, he is quite literally the key to our future. SLAIER: But I could see myself spilling some indigo blood, a lot of it. [/spoiler]

==> try to make him calm down Using the word "make" very loosely here. More like slowly coerce him into being less violent. Because, really, as much as you're pretty sure you;ll destroy your team anyway you'd really rather avoid unneeded bloodshed. FAILOW: uhm FAILOW: maybe you shouldnt FAILOW: you know... FAILOW: hurt anyone else? FAILOW: i mean FAILOW: were probably all gonna end up dying horribly anyway but FAILOW: its better if we dont kill eachother FAILOW: right? FAILOW: maybe there is a way off this rock FAILOW: but well never know if we all end up dead Plus dead people are kind of a pain to clean up. Gotta get rid of the blood and the bodies and whatever else is laying around. And that's no good. You don't like it. You don't wanna see your team dead and horribly maimed, even though it's probably going to happen anyway.

==> Slaier: Be irritated [/size][/b] He said it. There it is. That attitude. Like there's even a slight chance that you'll let your team die. The very notion is ridiculous. You reflexively take your smaller scythe, King Crimson, out of your specibus and point it at Failow.
[/justify] SLAIER: Faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilow SLAIER: That line of thinking is taboo. SLAIER: Implying that we can't win is taboo. SLAIER: Thinking that we'll lose is taboo. SLAIER: Doubting me is taboo. SLAIER: Am I making myself clear? [/spoiler]

==> cringe Yeah he's a terrifying bad ass. That's just a fact. Also he has scary weapons. Why did you not take the time to alchemize some nice weapons for yourself? Oh right, LAND OF FUCKING HOUSEWORK. You never got much done. You didn't even finish your quest. You are the worst at this game. FAILOW: s-sorry FAILOW: i cant help it FAILOW: its just sort of FAILOW: my thing FAILOW: you know FAILOW: hope and all that FAILOW: and the fact that we dont have it FAILOW: besides FAILOW: killing me wouldn't even help any FAILOW: itd just bne one less person to get stuff done FAILOW: and then nothing wouild get cleaned FAILOW: and that would be bad FAILOW: awful even FAILOW: catastrophoic FAILOW: dirt everywhere You just cannot shut up, can you?

==> Slaier: Calm down [/size][/b] You do, there's no point in attacking Failow. You call King Crimson back into your specibus. You need to stop going for the weapons as soon as someone doesn't do what you want. Failow doesn't deserve death, he's just a brownblood who's seen too much shit in his life, he knows what death is, just like you.
You raise your hands in apology.
[/justify] SLAIER: Sorry. SLAIER: But, in all seriousness, this has got to end. SLAIER: We can beat Jack, I know it. SLAIER: I've fought a lot of fights in my life, I know what an unwinnable fight looks like, this isn't it. SLAIER: But we need to accept that we CAN win. And I seem to be the only one who is doing that so far. SLAIER: It just pisses me off to no end that no one, not even our hero of Hope thinks we can pull this off. [/spoiler]

==> shruuuug At least he put away the weapon. You probably should provoke him anymore though, just in case. Even if there isn't much hope left anymore. FAILOW: but it just doesnt seem like theres a lot we can do anymore FAILOW: we messed up FAILOW: we lost FAILOW: and now were stuck on a rock in the middle of nowhere FAILOW: but FAILOW: uhm FAILOW: ... Actually it's a stupid idea and you aren't really sure you wanna discuss it. The only thing worse than losing hope is losing it twice. Not that you have much else to lose than hope at this point anyway. FAILOW: what if we can help the humans win their session? FAILOW: maybe they can get us out of here?

==> Slaier: Be excited [/size][/b] You smile in elation. You throw up your hands and then quickly cross them over your chest.
[/justify] SLAIER: What the hell do you think my plan is!? SLAIER: Just sitting here? SLAIER: We need to get the humans here, preferably as God Tiers. SLAIER: If we have that many God Tiers on our side, we can kill Jack. SLAIER: One hundred fucking percent, Failow. [/spoiler] You uncross your arms and pinch the bridge of your nose lightly.
[/justify] SLAIER: But they're not like us. SLAIER: They're not a race of warriors like trolls are. SLAIER: And, for some reason, they have the nerve to look down on our culture, as if we're insignificant. SLAIER: That's why I plan on conquering whatever sorry homeworld they make at the end of their session! [/spoiler]
