Evenin'.

[sup tower, how's it goin'. have one (1) very very ticked off aquatic troll staring at the screen. even if you were used to seeing his species, he's a bit.. notable. mostly due to the fact that he's the kind one can instantaneously recognize as a villain-type. maybe it's the crazy collar. or the sneer revealing perfectly serrated teeth. or the deep, jagged scars running diagonally across his face.

something like that, anyway. point is, like most other arrivals, he's not exactly delighted to be here.]

If someone would be so... kind as to further explain the situation I find myself in, that would be appreciated. Perhaps I'll even spare you if it seems useful enough, hm? That said, if any 'a the imperial forces are here, now would be the time to make yourself known. If not, it should already be established I have little patience for cowards or traitors.

Consider this your warning.

[yep, and it's off. no "thank you for your time" or any of that nonsense, apparently.]

(ooc: action to anyone who wants it! he'll be wondering about the second floor. a warning, though: chances are, he's going to be out for blood.)

What makes you think a little civility won't get you what you want a little easier?

[It's an honest question, and she cants her head a little at him curiously as she awaits his response.]

Gutterbloods.

...well. I guess you must not want answers after all then.

[Rude.]

Good luck, Orphaner.

Exactly what I mean.

You have to threaten them to get answers.

No, you really mustn't.

[She purses her lips a little at that, and then lets out a slight sigh.]

Would it be too much to ask that you actually ask instead of demand, though?

Naturally, I would have to ask the questions.

Well ending things on a threat isn't really too encouraging.

If you had any sense 'a self-preservation, it would be.

I think if you're going to threaten someone with death, it should probably be someone else!

[Her smile is slight and pleasant, but her tone is just the barest bit dismissive.]

But if you really do have questions, I can try and answer!

[he raises an eyebrow at that, but dismisses her as simply being delusional. wrigglers.]

Tell me about our "saviors".

They don't really show themselves here. The humans that are around the tower aren't the ones who brought us here, but trying to get them to tell us who did doesn't really work. They just kind of ignore us.

[She shrugs a little, corners of her mouth twitching.]

So there's not really much to be said about whoever brought us here except that maybe the term 'savior' is a little bit of an exaggeration..!

And a "human" would be...?

That seemed to be what they were tryin' to imply. However, that was also sardonic.

We made them! Well- my friends and I did. They're the strange, pinkish bipedal creatures around here!

And you know I figured as much! I was really just reinforcing the fact!

I see. [beat. that sure does raise a bunch of questions, but he'll start with most pertinent to him:]

How strong are they?

[translation: "how easy are they to murder?"]

Do you?

[She smiles a little wider, though it falters at the question- don't think she doesn't know what that means.]

Well, it varies, really! Some are stronger than others. I really would rather you didn't try and hurt any of them though- they're not really all that naturaly violent. Not like Trolls are.

I don't plan on goin' outta my way to cull 'em. But if they do get in my way, then they will be.

Well, that's better than nothing I guess!

[She hunches her shoulders up, leaning forward a little.]

I hope you keep that attitude in mind when it comes to the rest of us too.

If they show proper respect, then I won't have to.

[She can immediately think of at least four trolls who certainly won't and sighs.]

Please don't. It wouldn't do for us all to star culling each other left and right when there are already so few of us left...

[And when it's already happened once, but she won't mention that.]

Tell them that.

[Her patience isn't unlimited, and she's just reached the end of it.]

You shouldn't expect respect from anyone if you're not even willing to show a little consideration! But if you do try and hurt anyone...

[Aradia might be small, but she knows how to use what she's got, and her expression as she trails off says she won't hesitate to intervene.]

[even if he can read it, he'd still like to hear it.]

Oh? Then what?

Then you'll have to be stopped.

How unfortunate that ones of your caste are so prideful, they can't even curb it for the sake of their life.

I think you're misjudging whose pride is the problem.
