==> try to respond Highbloods make you nervous. Everything makes you nervous. And you really don't know what to say about yourself, though you suspect that as soon as you open your mouth it's not going to shut for a while. FAILOW: well uhm FAILOW: i used to live in the desert with my lusus untiul he died FAILOW: but im prolly better off without him anyway because he pretty always almost mursdered me whenebver he went on a rampage around the house FAILOW: and he made messes everywhere FAILOW: though the sand helped wioth that a lot FAILOW: sanfd is pretty terrible. have you ever been to a desert?: yuou probably havent. theyre kinda like an ocean i guess but more... FAILOW: dirty FAILOW: and FAILOW: uhm FAILOW: i like hgames like minesweeper and solitaire and stuff FAILOW: even though i really suck at them FAILOW: but it kinda seems like i sucked at this game too FAILOW: i dont think i was useful at all. if anything i uhm FAILOW: antihelped ==> shhhhh He doesn't need to know how terrible you are or why you hide out away from people. As far as he's concerned you're just the whimpy little clean freak that lives in the bowels of the an asteroid, not the horrible troll who makes everyone miserable.

==> SI: Shudder [/size][/b] The DESERT. Cacti fucking LIVE there. You are PRETTY SURE that the desert on Alternia is where RAINBOW DRINKERS reside. Holy crap, is this guy a wimp or REALLY HARDCORE?
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Oh jegus. Ohhh...Oh fuck. SLAIER: Nope, nope, nope, fucking never ever. SLAIER: Cacti are all up in the desert. I would never meet them on their own territory. SLAIER: Fuck. SLAIER: That. SLAIER: Noise. [/spoiler] And then he brought up games. Ohhhhh man, you are about to unleash a veritable TORRENT of information.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: GAMES. SLAIER: I love me some games. SLAIER: You don't even know how good I am at Negaman. SLAIER: Or Troll Snake. SLAIER: I think I have ALL of the high scores on Troll Snake. SLAIER: Wait, where the shit did you get games out in the desert? SLAIER: You didn't..you didn't get them from Rainbow Drinkers, did you? [/spoiler]

==> be terrified more Oh gog no those things are scary. The desert was scary. FAILOW: oh no FAILOW: those things are really scary FAILOW: i mean ive only seen them a few times but i know there was at least one pretty close top my house FAILOW: but she usually stayed away from me FAILOW: except this one tiome she came obver and wanted to borrow a cup of my blood and oh my gog that was terrible FAILOW: if my lusus hadn't been there she prolly woulda just killed me FAILOW: but the worms were scartier than the rainbow drinkers. soince there werre more of them FAILOW: always tunneling into my basement. FAILOW: the more i think about it the happier i am alternias gone ==> reminisce with self You'd rather not. You still have nightmares about the desert. And the worms. And the rainbow drinkers. And sometimes rainbow drinkers riding worms. Other than that there wasn't actually much out there besides all the sand. All of it.

==> SI: Marvel at courage [/size][/b] Rainbow Drinkers are "scary"? Rainbow Drinkers are TERRIFYING. What kind of hardass are you dealing with? You've met lots of brave trolls, most of them were your blood color, most of them died. You knew that certain lowbloods were kind of amazing, what with their insane psionic abilities. Truly, Failow must be a credit to his caste if Rainbow Drinkers are merely "really scary"
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: I am honored to be able to call you friend, Failow Luunas. SLAIER: No doubt you have slain many hated cacti in your desert prison. SLAIER: I expect great things from you. [/spoiler] Wouldn't it be awkward if you were mistaking a socially awkward coward for some paragon of troll virtue? That would be fucking AWFUL. It might even drive you to KILL.

==> inquire about plans
Surely he must have some sort of plan to destroy the hated flora. Perhaps he even has some sort of army. Maybe more of those green things. Wait, what is that green thing even doing now?
==> ohshitexplosion
You remember the creeper and turn around to see what it's doing. As it's picking up the last of the junk it makes a low hiss and begins blinking. You should um, probably get the fuck away from that, bro.

==> SI: Solve Problems [/size][/b] Time to get shit done. You casually grab the creeper and stuff it into what you assume is a garbage shoot. The creeper's explosion is strong, but not strong enough to do much damage if it's hurtling into space. You are satisfied with this solution.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: I solve practical problems. SLAIER: Like an Engineer. [/spoiler] You don't even know what an Engineer is. Dumbass. You look at Failow, he was probably going to do horrible things to the creeper, you bet his specibus is insane. It's problem some kind of cactus destroying bomb. You should probably just assume that you are correct and not go down that line of questioning.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Now that the creeper is out of the way. SLAIER: Is there anything you'd like to talk about? SLAIER: Or, I could think of something if you'd like. You pay absolutely no attention to the skeleton shaking explosion several floors below you. It's probably nothing that you need to worry about.
[/justify][/size][/spoiler]

==> questions You find that explosion mildly alarming. What if it released some of those things growing in the tubes? It definitely broke things. Hopefully you just never stumble across wherever it ended up. FAILOW: uhm FAILOW: where have you been stayinmg? FAILOW: i havent really seen anyone since i got here FAILOW: kinda just... FAILOW: figured everyone was dead or on another rock or something

==> SI: Describe living quarters [/size][/b] Ohhhhh man. Your respiteblock is fucking amazing. You just know Failow is going to be impressed! You prepare to lunge into a lengthy explanation about your kickass domicile.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Well, I pretty much have an entire building to myself. SLAIER: Sure, it's relatively small. SLAIER: And I had to literally tunnel through one of these fucking rocks to get to it. SLAIER: But it is AMAZING. SLAIER: You see, I found an entire building full of these tubes. SLAIER: With like monsters and shit in them. SLAIER: But more importantly, there was WATER in the tubes! SLAIER: So I broke them all and flooded the entire upper section of the building and made that my home for now. [/spoiler] Aweeeeesome~

==> oh god what That sounds like a huge mess. Glass everywhere. And moss and slime growing in the water. And whatever dirt there was (there is always dirt) making mud and asdf no. That sounds positively terrible. FAILOW: are you sure thats safe FAILOW: i mean is that even water thats in those things? FAILOW: and all that glass... ==> note to self You will have to sneak in and clean it later.

==> SI: Be embarassed [/size][/b] Oh gog. He thinks you're FILTHY. You keep your emotions in check, that is what you do. Now. After Lofora broke your anger button, you are now a cool motherfucker. Failow had no way of knowing how deadly serious you take aquatic cleanliness.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Glass? SLAIER: Jegus no! SLAIER: I cleaned all of that shit up, made some awesome stained glass windows out of it. SLAIER: And yes, I'm sure it's water. [/spoiler] You point at your fingillthings, you're not sure what they are or what they do, but they make a good visual for you being a fucking trout or some shit.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: I would like to think I'm somewhat of an expert on telling water apart from poisonous liquids. SLAIER: Considering I am an aquatic lifeform. [/spoiler]

==> apologize profusely Of course he can tell what is and isn't water, he lives in the stuff. Why wouldn't he be able to tell? Gog, you're stupid sometimes. Well, most of the time. You figure maybe you suffered some sort of trauma as a wiggler. Or Minesweeper dropped you on your dome when you were still tiny. Tinier. You are still tiny compared to pretty much every one. FAILOW: im sorry FAILOW: really i am FAILOW: ive just never met an aquatic troll before FAILOW: and i dont really know anything about fish either FAILOW: or liquids FAILOW: i got very little of that out in the desert FAILOW: since it had to come all the way from town FAILOW: and sometimes the worms and stuff would break the pipes FAILOW: then i had to ride my lusus all the way to town to bring back a few barrels of water FAILOW: that was pretty awful. he hated being used as a mount You just cannot shut up. Your lips will have nothing to do with silence.

==> SI: Feel like a douchebag [/size][/b] You feel horrible. Of course he wouldn't know what you can do in regards to water, he lived in the fucking desert! You feel as though you are about to vomit, this is no way to make friends. Here you are, bragging about your aquatic crib and Failow grew up in hell on Alternia with Rainbow Drinkers all up on his bulge and fucking wrigglebeasts breaking his pipes and whatnot. You are ASHAMED.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Gog, if anyone has anything to apologize for, it's me. SLAIER: I guess I'm too used to hanging around highbloods. SLAIER: All of them are either fully aware of what I am and stay the fuck away. SLAIER: Or are all up on my knob trying to get on my good side. SLAIER: ALL OF MY SIDES ARE GOOD. [/spoiler]

==> doubt that, then believe him, then be depressed. in that order. He's a terrifying fish monster. You didn't even know terrifying fish monsters had good sides. You didn't know highbloods had good sides either. They were always just preaching about castes and how much better than you they were and stuff. It's not your fault you're the bottom of the food chain. But he does actually seem like a pretty nice guy besides the breaking things. He's probably much nicer than the other people you've met so far. Which is to say almost no one. You hardly even spoke to the troll who brought you into the game, and you barely spoke to the person you were the server for. Wow you are bad at that communication thing. You are just bad at everything in general. Every single thing. Except cleaning, you suppose. Dirt doesn't stand a chance against you. FAILOW: no its fine FAILOW: its totally fine FAILOW: i just dont know how to uhm FAILOW: interact with people i guess FAILOW: even trolls in my caste dont like me much FAILOW: you should be glad people could at least handle being around you and stuff ==> be awkward You were already doing that.

==> SI: Be awkward [/size][/b] Awkward? What the hell is an awkward? Bad at interaction? He lived in a fucking desert with shiny zombies, of course he's awkward! You, though? You imposed isolation on yourself. Shit, you never thought you'd have so much in common with a lowblood.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: I, uh.. SLAIER: I know how that feel man. SLAIER: I am actually pretty bad at this whole social thing. SLAIER: I killed far too many trolls and fed them to my lusus. SLAIER: So everyone is all scared of me, and I just kind of... SLAIER: Hid. In a giant underwater skull. Guarded by a giant underwater dragon. SLAIER: I only really talked to Baltyr, and even then those conversations were few and far between. [/spoiler]

==> not sure if should feel bad or continue pity party You've never even murdered anyone. That would be normal troll behavior. You're just a coward who causes people to off themselves. Which is probably much worse, actually. You don't mean to. You're just... terrible. Awful. Pitiful. The worst at existing. ==> change subject And stop feeling sorry for yourself, you pathetic piece of filth. FAILOW: what kinda lusus did you have? FAILOW: i heard highbloods have really cool super strong ones FAILOW: and youre like a super duper highblood so you must have something ultra neat
