[02:42] -- artfulTransgressor [AT] began trolling catenaryPyre [CP] at 02:42 --

[02:42] AT: sup

[02:43] CP: Having a modera☥ely shi☥☥y day ☥ha☥'s wen☥ and ☥urned surprisingly good in ☥he end despi☥e how i☥ s☥ar☥ed ou☥. You?

[02:48] AT: so its not really moderately shitty right

[02:48] AT: its balanced out by now

[02:49] CP: I've spen☥ ☥he pas☥ couple hours in a pile wi☥h Kanabo, I'd say i☥ balanced ou☥.

[02:50] CP: The shi☥☥y par☥ was Sciaph expec☥ing me ☥o be her fucking en☥er☥ainmen☥ as she mourned ☥he fac☥ ☥ha☥ she had ☥o repress her murderous impulses.

[02:51] AT: you too hunh

[02:51] AT: also whoa

[02:51] AT: did you guys go pale

[02:51] CP: I☥'s been a ☥hing we've been considering for a while now and finally realized i☥ and decided ☥o make i☥ official, yes.

[02:52] CP: And i☥'s no☥ a☥ all any be☥☥er ☥o hear ☥ha☥ I wasn'☥ ☥he only lowblood she decided ☥o ☥ry and ge☥ her cheap en☥er☥ainmen☥ from.

[02:52] CP: Like i☥'s a god damned ☥ragedy ☥ha☥ she can'☥ go ou☥ and kill some☥hing a☥ her leisure.

[02:52] CP: I☥ defea☥s ☥he purpose of no☥ killing when you're DISAPPOINTED ☥ha☥ you're no☥ ou☥ killing in ☥he firs☥ place.

[02:53] AT: well

[02:53] AT: not really

[02:54] CP: Highbloods are all ☥he same.

[02:54] AT: i mean if the point is to be a sane non-psychopathic indiVidual then yeah that kinda means youVe failed from the starting gate

[02:54] AT: but if the point is just to not kill things then i guess shes technically fulfilling the requirements

[02:54] AT: but i mean yeah

[02:54] AT: shes a highblood

[02:55] AT: indigo at that which id argue is the least stable caste eVen if its not the highest

[02:55] CP: I don'☥ know wha☥ her poin☥ was bu☥ I am no☥ here ☥o amuse her, despi☥e wha☥ our posi☥ions in socie☥y say. I humored her un☥il she lef☥ me alone.

[02:55] AT: her being sane and not psychopathic isnt eVen feasible so i doubt thats the end goal

[02:55] AT: i flat out told her off

[02:55] CP: I'm no☥ suicidal.

[02:56] AT: but since thats what qualifies as me amusing her it wasnt exactly a shining dramatic gesture

[02:56] CP: I☥'s safer ☥o respec☥ ☥he highbloods and ☥heir au☥hori☥y ra☥her ☥han ou☥righ☥ ☥ell ☥hem ☥o fuck off.

[02:56] AT: its the internet ansata

[02:56] CP: I☥'s a miracle you're s☥ill alive af☥er all ☥his ☥ime.

[02:56] AT: what do you seriously think shes gonna do

[02:56] AT: reach through the wires

[02:56] CP: You forge☥ ☥ha☥ I see Kanabo and Adelle on a regular basis in person.

[02:57] CP: Meaning I would no☥ be surprised if Sciaph showed up one day ou☥ of fucking no where.

[02:57] AT: only way she could do that is if she knows where you liVe

[02:57] AT: and if you told her that then i gotta argue your claim of not being suicidal

[02:58] CP: No. Bu☥ she could find ou☥ ☥hrough Kanabo because our hives are rela☥ively close and Kanabo is ☥oo swee☥ ☥o see any ul☥erior mo☥ives in why she would ask.

[02:58] AT: but lets be real i dont eVen need to mouth off to highbloods for it to be miraculous im still breathing

[02:59] AT: well theres your problem right there

[02:59] AT: you wouldnt catch me dead liVing near another troll

[03:00] CP: I☥'s how her and I me☥ ini☥ially. I was ou☥ char☥ing ☥he area around my hive a☥ ☥he ☥ime.

[03:02] AT: good for you guys i guess

[03:02] CP: I didn'☥ ☥hink so a☥ ☥he ☥ime.

[03:03] CP: Bu☥ i☥ did ☥urn ou☥ ☥o be a good ☥hing, however i☥'s s☥ill a po☥en☥ial concern wi☥h regards ☥o Sciaph.

[03:05] AT: well she seems pretty fucking determined to cut down on the killing

[03:06] AT: all cause this human shes known for like two nights seemed a little bothered by it

[03:06] AT: i mean iVe been yelling at her about it for sweeps but who the fucks counting

[03:07] CP: Humans again. I don'☥ unders☥and wha☥ ☥his fascina☥ion wi☥h some aliens is.

[03:07] CP: I hear ☥hey're going ☥o be playing ☥he similar game we'll be s☥ar☥ing up soon, bu☥ ☥ha☥ means no☥hing.

[03:11] AT: yeah not really

[03:12] AT: i mean its a little weird they haVe something so similar i guess?

[03:12] AT: but i mean i guess some game archetypes are bound to exist between similar sentient species

[03:13] AT: like if youre gonna simulate something in a game fightings gonna be pretty common

[03:13] CP: This is ☥rue.

[03:13] AT: or general life simulation games

[03:13] AT: so its kinda interesting but not super out there

[03:13] CP: Speaking of, wha☥ are you opinions on ☥he game?

[03:14] AT: im not totally enamored with the humans but the couple iVe talked to are generally okay

[03:15] AT: and my opinion on the game is that we need to fucking know more about it

[03:15] AT: i mean nobody eVen seems to know what GENRE its gonna be yet

[03:16] AT: like theyVe promised sim stuff and fighting stuff and rpg stuff and rts stuff and its just like holy fuck so which eVen is it

[03:16] AT: which is the actual focus and which is just the dressing

[03:16] AT: cause no way can they balance all of that equally

[03:17] CP: My sen☥imen☥s exac☥ly. If i☥'s any☥hing like FLARP ☥hen i☥ should require careful planning. Which we're unable ☥o do wi☥h so li☥☥le informa☥ion we have ☥o go off of a☥ ☥he curren☥ ☥ime. The only reason I'm even agreeing ☥o play ☥his s☥upid game is because I don'☥ wan☥ Kanabo ge☥☥ing involved in some☥hing wi☥hou☥ me.

[03:17] AT: yeah iVe heard its got some similarities to flarp too

[03:17] AT: thats actually the only thing iVe heard so far that makes me NOT wanna play it

[03:23] CP: FLARP isn'☥ ☥ha☥ bad under ☥he correc☥ circums☥ances.

[03:23] CP: And when you don'☥ have Adelle ☥rying ☥o feel you up wi☥h a ☥ape measurer.

[03:24] AT: wait what now

[03:24] CP: There is no☥hing qui☥e as horrifying as an overzealous seadweller having ☥heir hands all over you wi☥h a ☥ape measurer.

[03:28] AT: uh

[03:28] AT: i am

[03:28] AT: gonna haVe to take your word for that

[03:28] AT: also

[03:28] CP: He was dis☥urbingly adaman☥ abou☥ making a FLARP ou☥fi☥ for me. Whe☥her I liked i☥ or no☥, ☥here was no say in ☥he ma☥☥er.

[03:29] AT: flarp is only 'not that bad' if youre pretty damn tough already

[03:29] AT: and you only play with friends you trust

[03:29] CP: If you work wi☥h ☥he proper campaign and plan ou☥ your s☥ra☥egies in advanced, i☥ usually ends up jus☥ fine. Somewha☥ disgus☥ing a☥ ☥imes considering, bu☥ ☥ha☥'s ☥o be expec☥ed.

[03:30] AT: otherwise its a good way for really sadistic fucks to coax weak trolls into an arena where they can cull them

[03:31] CP: Anyone who's weak and playing have no one ☥o blame bu☥ ☥hemselves for ☥heir dea☥hs.

[03:31] AT: ugh

[03:31] AT: thats not true thats just what flarp apologists say

[03:31] CP: No. I believed ☥ha☥ even before I s☥ar☥ed playing.

[03:32] AT: well that just means youVe been wrong for longer

[03:32] AT: the fact is flarp isnt a fucking game

[03:32] CP: I☥'s a dangerous game where ☥rolls have been known ☥o die on a regular basis. If you know ☥ha☥ and you go in☥o i☥ knowing you're unable ☥o handle such ☥hings, who else is ☥here ☥o blame bu☥ yourself?

[03:32] AT: its adVertised completely fucking wrong

[03:33] AT: games are supposed to be fun and relaxing eVen the challenging ones

[03:33] AT: and dying in real life is not in fact supposed to be part of any game

[03:33] AT: theres a reason thats a thing ONLY in flarp

[03:33] CP: Or ☥hey're supposed ☥o challenge you and pu☥ you ☥o ☥es☥ your limi☥s and how you can s☥ra☥egize and ☥hink on your fee☥.

[03:33] AT: cause flarp is fucking mislabeled for calling itself a game in the first place

[03:33] AT: yeah

[03:33] AT: a game can do all of that perfectly well

[03:34] AT: WITHOUT actually killing you

[03:34] AT: and real games DO do that

[03:34] AT: flarp isnt a game its just life in fucking alternia but eVeryone pretends the setting is different and that there are leVels and scores

[03:34] CP: So you're ☥he ☥ype who would ra☥her si☥ and play fiduspawn.

[03:36] AT: what no

[03:36] AT: i couldnt if i wanted to

[03:36] CP: Fiduspawn is a challenging game ☥ha☥'s fun and relaxing and no one ge☥s hur☥.

[03:36] AT: too hard to get my hands on the materials

[03:36] CP: I could send ☥hem ☥o you.

[03:36] AT: husktop games are what i do

[03:37] AT: and aside from physical exercise which i already get plenty of

[03:37] AT: there isnt a damn thing you can do in flarp you cant do in husktop games

[03:37] AT: except for one thing

[03:37] AT: which is MURDER OTHER TROLLS FOR IMAGINARY POINTS

[03:38] AT: like just

[03:38] AT: ugh

[03:38] AT: theres not enough culling on alternia that people haVe to dress it up and pretend its a fun pastime

[03:38] CP: I'm no☥ overly fond of ☥he murder aspec☥ ☥o be qui☥e hones☥, i☥'s ☥he one par☥ of ☥he game I de☥es☥ ☥he mos☥. Bu☥ i☥'s life, ☥ha☥'s jus☥ how ☥hings are and i☥'s an unavoidable s☥ep. Bes☥ ge☥ used ☥o seeing i☥ now ra☥her ☥han when we're abou☥ ☥o ge☥ culled in ☥he flee☥s.

[03:38] AT: rather than just trolls being bloodthirsty fucks and doing what they always do

[03:39] AT: its the opposite of life although i realize im just nitpicking semantics there

[03:40] AT: that said though its completely aVoidable

[03:40] CP: A☥ ☥his poin☥ you are, yes.

[03:40] AT: especially if youre not actiVely seeking out that shit

[03:41] AT: as for the fleet im not gonna be joining it anyway

[03:45] CP: Wha☥ do you plan ☥o do?

[03:46] AT: same thing iVe always done

[03:46] AT: hide from the drones

[03:46] CP: An unwise choice, bu☥ I hones☥ly wish you ☥he bes☥ of luck.

[03:51] AT: its not a choice

[03:51] AT: i cant join the fleet

[03:51] AT: its this or outright culling

[03:51] CP: Why can'☥ you?

[03:52] AT: seVeral reasons

[03:52] AT: main one being my lusus died ages ago

[03:53] AT: iVe been ducking culling eVer since then anyway

[03:53] AT: secondary reason being im blatantly physically deficient

[03:54] AT: the drones would neVer let me anywhere close to our gene pool

[03:54] CP: Physically deficien☥?

[03:54] AT: and tertiary being that im almost nine sweeps and i haVe no quadrant prospects and i neVer will haVe quadrant prospects so

[03:55] AT: eVen if the drones wouldnt auto-cull me for the other reasons theyd cull me for not being able to fill pails when theyd start coming around soon

[03:55] AT: and yes

[03:55] AT: genetically deficient

[03:55] AT: do i need to get into it

[03:56] CP: How so? And I've heard of some ☥rolls resor☥ing ☥o reques☥ing assis☥ance of ☥heir friends for ☥he drones if ☥hey're unable ☥o mee☥ one or bo☥h a☥ ☥he ☥ime.

[03:58] AT: first of all i wouldnt want to do that

[03:58] CP: Why no☥?

[03:58] AT: second of all i dont think any of my friends like me that much

[03:58] CP: I☥'s be☥☥er ☥han being culled.

[03:58] AT: and third of all its completely fucking irreleVant cause the drones would cull me on sight regardless of the issue of pails so its not eVen worth worrying about

[03:59] AT: and im a fucking runt if you really need to know that badly

[03:59] CP: If i☥ were a life or dea☥h si☥ua☥ion like ☥ha☥, surely a☥ leas☥ a few would be willing. If i☥ were ☥o come ☥o i☥, I would offer help.

[03:59] CP: Run☥?

[03:59] AT: yes

[03:59] CP: How much of one?

[04:00] CP: I don'☥ ☥hink ☥he drones would cull you simply based on heigh☥, ☥ha☥'s coun☥er produc☥ive on several levels.

[04:00] AT: im almost nine sweeps and im smaller than a lot of trolls are at six

[04:00] CP: I☥ can'☥ be ☥ha☥ bad.

[04:00] AT: and runts are genetically failures

[04:00] AT: i mean were weak by nature

[04:00] AT: which is pretty much worthless by troll standards

[04:01] CP: Lowbloods in general are wor☥hless by ☥roll s☥andards, wha☥'s your poin☥?

[04:01] AT: a runt can be oVerpowered by almost anyone just cause theyre fucking BIGGER

[04:01] CP: They would be more likely ☥o cull me ☥han you.

[04:01] CP: And ☥ha☥'s no☥ always ☥rue. One small enough could easily ou☥ manuver someone far larger if ☥hey know wha☥ ☥hey're doing.

[04:01] AT: lowbloods are worthwhile in large groups by the fleets standards and you know it

[04:01] AT: also yes it is that bad

[04:01] AT: im like

[04:02] AT: four foot ten

[04:02] AT: on a good day

[04:02] AT: horns included

[04:03] CP: Well, considering my dis☥as☥e for all of ☥he highbloods we know, you can consider yourself for☥una☥e you ☥old me as I have no desire ☥o pass ☥ha☥ informa☥ion on ☥o anyone.

[04:04] AT: its a risk i can afford to take cause eVen if you told the whole damn planet no one knows where to find me

[04:04] CP: I☥'s no☥ abou☥ where ☥o find you.

[04:04] CP: I☥'s abo☥u wha☥ Adelle would say if he were ☥o find ou☥ how ☥iny you are.

[04:05] AT: ...what are you blackmailing me with here

[04:05] CP: I'm no☥ blackmailing you.

[04:05] CP: I did jus☥ ge☥ done explaining ☥ha☥ I have no desire ☥o ☥ell him.

[04:07] AT: so then what the hell is that comment supposed to mean

[04:07] AT: just what do you think hed say

[04:07] CP: Jus☥ an idle observa☥ion.

[04:07] CP: Wha☥ do you ☥hink he would say?

[04:07] AT: i dont know and i dont wanna find out

[04:18] AT: also i dunno whether to be weirded out or kinda grateful youd pail with me if it was that or me being culled?

[04:18] AT: but as far as i know youd be the only one

[04:18] AT: honestly i know too many goddamn highbloods

[04:19] AT: i dunno if asking em for help in that kinda situation would improVe the chances of me surViVing or actually worsen em

[04:20] CP: I can rela☥e wi☥h you on ☥ha☥ ma☥☥er. I can'☥ s☥and ☥hem, and ye☥ somehow I find myself surrounded by ☥hem. However I would apprecia☥e i☥ if you no☥ ☥ake ☥he sen☥imen☥ as creepy despi☥e how I can see how i☥ could come ou☥ ☥ha☥ way if i☥ were coming from someone else. I☥'s merely a fac☥ of a ma☥☥er ☥ha☥ i☥ would be be☥☥er ☥han le☥☥ing a friend die for a poin☥less reason.

[04:21] AT: (Whoa his symbol suddenly broke to shit)

[04:22] AT: (Also I think his text cut off)

[04:23] CP: (I can jus☥ repos☥ ☥he whole ☥hing ☥hen ☥o be safe)

[04:23] CP: I can rela☥e wi☥h you on ☥ha☥ ma☥☥er. I can'☥ s☥and ☥hem, and ye☥ somehow I find myself surrounded by ☥hem. However I would apprecia☥e i☥ if you no☥ ☥ake ☥he sen☥imen☥ as creepy despi☥e how I can see how i☥ could come ou☥ ☥ha☥ way if i☥ were coming from someone else. I☥'s merely a fac☥ of a ma☥☥er ☥ha☥ i☥ would be be☥☥er ☥han le☥☥ing a friend die for a poin☥less reason.

[04:23] AT: (Well it cuts off in the same place when you do that XD )

[04:24] AT: ( be☥☥er ☥han le☥☥ing a friend die for a poinâ )

[04:24] AT: (Last sentence)

[04:24] AT: (Complete with fucked up symbols)

[04:24] CP: I☥'s merely a fac☥ of a ma☥☥er ☥ha☥ i☥ would be be☥☥er ☥han le☥☥ing a friend die for a poin☥less reason.

[04:24] CP: ((Maybe it's your pc doing something? they appear fine on mine))

[04:29] AT: (I think it's because your message was too long)

[04:29] AT: (It broke the symbols and stopped it from continuing on into other lines for some reason)

[04:29] CP: ((PC's never done that before though))

[04:29] AT: (The symbols are fine again now that it's a short message :|a )

[04:30] AT: (I think it's probably because of the weird kind of symbol Cero has)

[04:30] CP: ((fuckin' pc))

[04:30] AT: (At least it works okay when the message fits!)

[04:30] AT: yeah

[04:31] AT: honestly youre probably one of the few id trust to actually see in person too

[04:31] AT: i mean your caste is eVen lower than mine

[04:31] AT: you get this kinda thing

[04:31] CP: We could mee☥ up a☥ some poin☥, if you'd be in☥eres☥ed. I have a ☥hing for car☥ography, i☥ would be in☥eres☥ing ☥o explore a new loca☥ion ☥o map ou☥.

[04:32] AT: no

[04:32] AT: like

[04:32] AT: the meeting you thing id haVe to think oVer but im not immediately objecting to that

[04:33] AT: but like hell am i letting any maps of where i liVe or the area around where i liVe be made

[04:33] AT: other people besides you might get their hands on those

[04:33] CP: You realize I'd jus☥ make ☥hem in my head ei☥her way. I have a ☥endency ☥o do ☥ha☥. No one ge☥s ☥heir hands on my maps bu☥ me.

[04:34] CP: They would burs☥ in☥o flames ☥he momen☥ I saw someone else even ☥ouching ☥hem.

[04:34] CP: I don'☥ apprecia☥e people ☥ouching my s☥uff.

[04:34] CP: I don'☥ make maps for o☥hers, only for myself. And some☥imes Kanabo.

[04:36] AT: in your head is fine i guess

[04:36] AT: but not on paper

[04:37] AT: and you could absolutely not tell concol

[04:37] CP: I'll ☥ry ☥o refrain from drawing i☥ absen☥ly.

[04:38] CP: And I unders☥and, I won'☥ inform her ei☥her.
