001 ♍ In Which An Introduction Is Accomplished Via Textual Communications

[mamadonna]

I Am Informed By The Practitioners In The Infirmary That It Is Recommended That I Remain Confined To This Slab They Mistakenly Believe Is Conducive To Slumber, Despite Its Lack Of An Appropriate Sopor Baptism, But I Find The Inactivity To Only Inspire Further Restlessness.
It Has Taken Some Time For Me To Familiarize Myself With This Contrivance, So I Hope You Will Forgive Any Missteps I May Take As I Practice My Initial Attempt At Bipedal Mobilization With It, As It Were.
As An Example, I Seem To Have Forgotten My Manners; Here I Am, A Perfect Stranger To The Majority Of Individuals Monitoring This System Of Messages, Rambling On Mindlessly Prior To Accomplishing A Proper Introduction.
I Pray You Will Consider Forgiving Me For This Unconscionable Oversight.
I Am The Dolorosa.
You May Be Already Familiar With My Little One, The Signless, And I Bear No Shame As I Inform You That I Am His Lusus, Though That Is Rarely The Title I Prefer.
But It Is Hardly Myself That I Bear Interest In Hearing About In This Venture--Well, Reading May Be More Appropriate, I Suppose--But I Would Like To Learn About Each Of You.
Until I Am Granted Opportunity To Greet Such A Collection Personally, I Suppose This Will Have To Be Sufficient.

[mamadonna]

[ oh, but "little one" is reserved for any who she perceives to be younger than her (or, at the very least, shorter...which is most people tbh) ]

And It Is For That Reason That I Bear No Shame In It, Neophyte Redglare.
It Is, By No Means, A Conventional Arrangement, But It Remains One That I Would Maintain With All Enthusiasm!
Nonetheless, It Is A Pleasure To Make Your Acquaintance, I'm Sure.

[... fucking wonderful, just what the tower needed more of.]

Orphaner Dualscar. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[whether or not she's heard of him, even. if only sarcasm could better translate to text!]

[mamadonna]

[ Oh jeez. Ψiioniic had mentioned that this guy was here. ]

No, I'm Afraid.
It Very Much Isn't A Pleasure, Actually.

[mamadonna]

Is This How Humans Accomplish Such Things?
Strange Beings, They Continue To Be.
Though I've Only Met The One, Actually, Aside From Those Likewise Situated In The Infirmary.
Have You Been Informed That They Are Fully Capable Of Withstanding The Light Of The Solar Orb?

[orphans]

[wow rude??? it's one thing to lie about but to be upfront about it]

Havve I already managed to offend your ovversensitive shame globes?
Or is it that the color of my text automatically marks it prime for the reception of impudence?

[chronomancer]

[Oh, wow, that's. That's a very... familiar hue. Well, no sweat. Even after... disturbing conversations with certain ancestors. Just. Gotta play it cool. Yes.]

...hello

[Just kinda running his eyes over this at first. It's... definitely curious to see another person with this color text on the network. Apparently a different person? Aren't jade bloods supposed to be really uncommon or something. Sitting here and thinking on it, he can't recall ever meeting one...]

[...wait. 'I Am His Lusus'?? THE SUFFERER'S????? Typing without reading the rest of this post: definitely a good plan]

wHAT,

[mamadonna]

Merely The Fact That I Have Very Unfortunately Suffered Such An Introduction Previously.
Though In That Instance It Did Not Pretend To Any Sort Of Lofty Air Of "Sophistication" Or Politeness.

[mamadonna]

And I Would Offer Similar Greetings To You, Also.
What Nomenclature Do You Claim To?

[mamadonna]

I Beg Your Pardon?

[mamadonna]

I Should Imagine There To Be Much Information Available, If Their Population Is So Thoroughly Spread As That.
I May Be Somewhat Envious, Really.
It Was Long Before I Was Able Even To Personally Witness The Night's Sky In A Visual Manner.
I've Since Had Some Curiosity Of That Of The Day, But It Was Never A Risk Worth The Undertaking.

[orphans]

[pauuuuse.]

Then you are already one of my slavves.
From wwhat time do you hail?

[entropied]

N0 0ne will read all of that.

[mamadonna]

"Are" Implies A Current Status.
True As That Description May Have Been At A Certain Time, It Was No Longer Before The End.

[mamadonna]

Well, I Suppose That Is The Risk I Run In Attempting Such A Message, I Am Not Entirely Familiar With The Etiquette Expected When Doing So.
We May Consider That Point A Stumble, To Continue The Earlier Metaphor.
But It Is The Section Towards The End That Deserves The Majority OF The Attention, I Would Think.
May I Ask Your Name, Then?

[entropied]

I d0n't have 0ne.

[mamadonna]

Oh My!
Such Unfortunate Circumstances Cannot Be Expected To Sustain Themselves Long.
Surely, You Must Have Something You Are Called?

[mamadonna]

...
Suffice To Say I Was Not In The Best Of Health Upon My Arrival.

[grandhighblood]

Well well well.
WHAT DO WE ALL MOTHERFUCKING HAVE HERE?
More affiliates of the Sufferer, it all seems.

[orphans]

Before "the end" of wwhat?
If you wwere my slavve before arrivval, then you are still my slavve here.

[entropied]

[Nothing she likes or wants to admit to, at least, and Summoner is the only one allowed to call her Coleta!]
