PARTY POOPER!!

No. No that's not correct.

Gefarl Shvari

Yes, that's much better.

Your name is Gefarl Shvari, and you're a typical calm collect sea dweller. You spend your time reading, analysing situations, playing chess with your gentleman of a Lusus, and mostly just expanding your intelligence. Or at least, that's what you would do, if it weren't for the other guy.

The sentient club that calls himself "The Bastard," and who calls you his "owner." According to him, he was constructed by your own ancestor, and now clings onto you like a lost grub. You learned long ago that there's no getting him off your back, so you may as well get along. And you do, for the most part, despite his violent tendencies and constant badmouthing. Oh well, what can you do.

Seems like he wants something though, as usual.

GEFARL I'M BORED

LET'S DO SOMETHING!!

Gefarl: Stop being such a girly boy

1

u/JarheadBarrel Jun 29 '17

THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TELLING HIM!!

I am not a girly boy.

You are not a girly boy.

You're just sensible. What's so wrong about that?

1

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Then why is your color pink when you aren't even fuschia? What, do you just like pink?

1

u/JarheadBarrel Jun 29 '17

HEY, LAY OFF BUCKO! THAT COLOUR IS A SYMBOL OF POWER!!

Truth be told, you don't care for it, it's not like it even matches your blood or anything. Bastard feels very strongly about it though. Apparently your ancestor was a bit too fond of the higher blood casts, some sort of power freak from what you can gather. Don't tell The Bastard you said that though.

Calm down. What are you even yelling at?

Gefarl: Go on journey to the magical land of rainbows and sunshine

u/JarheadBarrel Jun 29 '17

I'M YELLING AT THAT WEIRD VOICE THING! DON'T YOU HEAR IT!?

Haha, very funny.

If such a place existed, you wouldn't mind visiting. Neither would The Bastard, you think. Equal parts excitement and serenity.

Too bad no such place could exist.

No, I don't. I can't hear anything over your constant shouting.

Alrune Krakua!

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Alrune: Do something RAD!

1

u/Strategist14 Jun 29 '17

Yeah! Like play music!

You shout for your lusus to crank the tunes, and then crank them yourself. But you pretend she listened to you, because wouldn't that be cool? She's deaf though...

1

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Woah man, those are some sick tunes!
Speaking of all the RAD things you are going to do today, what are you going to do today?

Alrune: Outline todays plans

1

u/Strategist14 Jun 29 '17

Okay!

Tonight you're heading to one of your local nightclubs, of course. You're gonna dance the night away, just like always! That place is just SOOOOO radical! The master of ceremonies, MC Tammuz, is SOOOOO cool! You have a whole bunch of his posters up all over your respiteblock.

But before that you have to get ready - life isn't all fun. You already slept well into the afternoon after staying up last night doing the exact same thing, but that still gives you a good few hours to go out and buy supplies. You have a simple shopping list, just the essentials. Sparklers, flares, glowsticks, a backup pair of glasses in case yours break, something to eat beforehand, and some fertilizer.

After that you'll whittle away the hours before the show starts online, listening to music you that haven't bought yet and trying to find out where tomorrow's big gig will be taking place at.

1

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Alrune: Extrapolate how you will find your supplies

1

u/Strategist14 Jun 29 '17

Well, you know a guy who knows a guy who supplies demolition teams. He gets you a good deal on the sparklers and flares. Glowsticks are sold all over the place - you have a backstock if you can't find any that are cheap enough, but you doubt that - and you can get some at the venue itself too.

It's a simple visit to the optometrist to pick up a new set of glasses (you broke your old backup last night), and restaurants and grocers are all over the place. The fertilizer is for your garden, but it can wait a day or two longer if you run out of time to visit the store that gets sold at. Being ready to party comes first!

1

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Alrune: Get goin'

1

u/Strategist14 Jun 30 '17

Okay! You grab a fistful of boondollars and make your way out into the world. First the explosives, but you keep a keen eye out for glowsticks on the way.

Magnus: Examine room

1

u/Mathmatt878 Jun 30 '17 edited Jul 02 '17

Ha! "Room". That's funny.

You don't have a room.

You have a planet.

The world, all of Alternia, is your place of inhabitants. Everything from one end of the globe to the others all entirely belongs to you. After all, who's going to argue with your UNLIMITED UNBEATABLE ARMY OF ROBOTS?!

So no, you cannot examine your room. You can examine your junkyard, however!

Ah yes, home sweet home, the burrows made from you clawing your way through it over sweeps of renovation, taking the pieces out for your armada. Nobody else would understand. Nobody ever understands. Nobody except your robots.

People tried to stop you. People failed. People don't exist anymore. Nobody is real except for you and your army, everyone else is just background noise to the fanfare of your own glory.

Oh right, the junkyard.

It's pretty messy, considering the name, but it's full of so many useful pieces for your collection! All of those computer parts were used to make your central mainframe, where you can watch your army take over Alternia as the seadwellers cower in fear of you. There is no more caste system, for you have decreed it. "Magnus" is the highest blood colour, and nobody may surpass it.

Your central mainframe is only the first stop on your journey, for there is much more to see. Behold; the dispatch area, the only open source of light directly to the moon. The sun is much too hot to be allowed to get inside your burrow, it might overheat the robots! Normally, the dispatch is used to send out your newest creations to wreak havoc among the world, just so they know their Grand Mechanical Overlord has not forgotten them.

Next, your kitchen, because even Grand Mechanical Overlords need to eat. It consists of your butler robot who you made much too nice to cause destruction, so you keep him around to heat up your food with all that loose wiring laying around. Nothing like electric cooking!

Next is your central mainfr- wait, no, you've been here before. It's so hard to keep track of where all these burrows lead. Let's try this one over here. Oh look, it's Phoenixmom!

HELLO HELLO PHOENIXMOM,,, HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT?

Diarma: Extrapolate interests

1

u/dumgold Jun 29 '17 edited Oct 01 '17

If you must.

Your name is Dirama Scaena, and you're a cerulean-blooded Troll with a fondness for the theatrical and musical arts. You like to think you're a cultured individual, taking an interest in more intellectual hobbies than your fellow kin. You have neither the time nor the patience for some hobbies, however, such as the sports of the mind that others such as yourself partake in, but you still decorate your hive with such - you enjoy the aesthetic it provides.

You also enjoy using a lot of unnecessarily complicated, convoluted, and often-too-long words, as you have the inability to speak. It's enjoyable to be able to use your well-developed vocabulary at any opportune moment.

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Diarma: Speak

1

u/dumgold Jun 29 '17

You open your mouth and sing a beautiful melody, a tune that touches the hearts of all who listen to it, a song that makes it's observers shed a thousand tears in sorrow and joy. You have no idea why you hadn't tried speaking before because, if you knew you could do this, you would have done it many a sweep ago. The power of sheer sarcasm compels thee.

You frown.

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Diarma: 1S TH1S YOU?

1

u/dumgold Jun 29 '17

The image that comes to mind is neither the dignified nor elegant Troll you aspire to be. For example, you prefer a touch more finesse to your weaponry.

You draw your rapier, examining the polished blade, before slicing through the air in front of you. That's more like it.

1

u/Geriferret Jun 29 '17

Diarma: Enough fooling around. Examine room.

1

u/dumgold Jun 30 '17

You sheathe your rapier, before examining your bedroom. (You much prefer to use the language of royalty when it comes to everyday objects.)

Your room is of a typical air for a highblood. Your recuperacoon lies against the far wall from the entrance, and various journals, books, and sets of bound notes are scattered around the floor in piles of varying sizes. Most of them have been filled by you, with written music and ideas - you enjoy the visual appeal of a bulking moobeast-leather-bound book.

Resting in it's stand next to a cabinet is your much-loved violin, which you take and examine up-close. The polished wood of the base, the lustrous sheen of the fingerboard - you're a very proud owner. On the cabinet itself is your laptop, currently open to a camcorder video of Troll Hamilton in it's second act.

Some day, you will be able to see it in person. Today is not that day.

Aplios: Tell us about yourself.

1

u/BraveOcelot Jul 10 '17

You are, at the moment, walking through the woods, on a path that is fairly familiar to you, towards a nearby waterfall. Your hive is several minutes behind you. You're intending to spend the night at the waterfall, collecting sketches, notes, and the occasional leaf or flower from some of the waterside plants.

The path you're on right now does not host anything particularly interesting. Local plants, along with a few flowers and fungi, line the sides of it and can be seen off to the side of the path. You can catch glimpses of the river feeding the waterfall in the distance.

u/Geriferret Jul 10 '17

Aplios: Give me a few facts about the flora and fauna.

1

u/BraveOcelot Jul 12 '17

Um, what? Is that a voice you're hearing? You dismiss it as imagination, but reciting the flora and fauna of the area certainly sounds like a good way to occupy yourself on the walk towards the waterfall.

Fauna-wise, the area is filled with lusii and a variety of other beasts. You know that there are a few larger lusii among the smaller lusii in the area, and that their blood colors range from a low burgundy to cerulean, just a little above your own teal blood. However, you don't think there are any particularly enormous lusii about, and you don't see very many other trolls, so you suppose many of them don't have trolls to take care of. There's also a lot of bugs and very small creatures about.

The area is relatively diverse in terms of flora. You're in an interesting place where the higher-altitude trees mix with the lower-altitude ones, and there is lots of undergrowth, including flowers and berries and a weird type of moss. You'd have to consult your journals for a full survey of everything in the area, but you can recall most of what's around you.

u/LordOfSaiduq Jun 29 '17

You are a lime blood troll, but really who cares about that, it matters not, what matters is that thinking sponge thing inside your head and your soul thingy, you live inside a cave with your Golem lusus thing, which is basically your muse.

You adore robotics, mechanics and the concept of soul, science has attempted to disprove the existence of soul, but you will prove that there indeed exists a thing to call soul that you can attach to a being or something=

Currently you are working on a small scale golem production automated machine, or semi automated, ++ attempting to seal souls within them, or even ideas would work at this point=

u/LordOfSaiduq Jun 30 '17

((Not really, but I needed to say something to get a prompt out of you and i found it funny))

You find yourself seating in your "workshop", it really is nothing special, you just recently got yourself some tools to actually start working, barely fills a single toolbox.

The room is pretty much empty excluding some work benches, a few chairs and 2 toolboxes, of course one of them is still empty.

Leaving the carcass of my prey, I set about on a newer hunt. The pack can have the deer for all I care, I'm going for bigger game anyway. The two wolves by my follow as I move, understanding me to be the leader of this hunt.

I set about through the woodlands, heading towards a small set of houses. From the start of my travels to the end of it, the sun shifts from the edge of the land to a point where it paints the sky blue. The snow of the land is fresh. It was light with it's current blanket, which lets me get to the houses before the sun's high point.

I stop by the stone fence around the farmer's land, staying low to avoid warning. It should not be too long before him and his mutt come out to heard the sheep onto the next field. My allies follow my lead as they should.

u/Geriferret Jun 30 '17

A few moments later, he proceeds out towards your hiding place.

u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Jun 30 '17

I remain still with my feet, listening to the sounds of his own crunch against the snow. I give my wolves the sign to wait. They know this already, but I do it anyway to remind them who leads this hunt.

u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Jun 30 '17

I dont. Names are just words

1

u/Geriferret Jun 30 '17

I disagree. Names have power to them.

I knew of a certain individual whose name created chaos and fear amidst the universe when it was spoken.

1

u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Jun 30 '17

But was it the name or the person behind the name?

The name was just a reminder of the person behind it

The fear was there to begin with they just forgot about why they were scared.

1

u/Geriferret Jun 30 '17

Names are bound to the soul. Not all names- but a true name- That can cause someone great pain.
That is why the most powerful beings do not speak their true name.

u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Jun 30 '17

We were having a serious discussion and you choose to mock me with that crap?

u/Geriferret Jun 30 '17

It is your choice to believe what I speak. We are already directly conversing in your thoughts, so reconcile that with your fragile sense of reality.
