[Filtered from the Condesce, Dualscar and Grand Highblood]

HEY, THIS IS THE SIGNLESS.

I HAVEN'T REALLY POSTED TO THE NETWORK IN A WHILE, AND I'D APOLOGIZE, BUT I REALIZE THAT NONE OF YOU PROBABLY TAKE MUCH JOY IN SEEING MY EYE-BLEEDING BIG-LETTERED CANDY RED TEXT, ANYWAY. SOME OF YOU, PARTICULARLY THE TROLLS, ARE PROBABLY WEEPING FROM YOUR OCULARS ALREADY, REACHING FOR THE KEYBOARD TO SPEW YOUR VITRIOL AT ME FOR EXISTING.

BUT DON'T WORRY. YOU'RE SUFFERING FOR A REASON.

Her Imperious Condescension
Orphaner Dualscar
The Grand Highblood Subjugglator.

If you know these names, then you know that to encounter any of these trolls is dangerous at best, and very likely to be fatal.

To be honest, I feel partly responsible. Since they arrived in the tower, I have tried to show them that the hemospectrum doesn't give them the right to cull indiscriminately, that there are other ways of dealing with people that are more constructive, and even beneficial to them. All three of them have rejected this notion, and while I do have hope that they might come around eventually, we cannot allow them to simply continue to treat the tower - and the people here - as their own personal sporting arena.

But I'm just one troll, and I'm not a very big one. I need help, I need a plan. And taking revenge upon them is not going to make a positive difference in this situation.

So please. Is there anyone here who can do something to, at least temporarily, make them stop killing? Maybe if they can start to feel what it's like to be powerless, they can begin to relate to those of us whom they have held down for so long.

I don't want to hurt them, and I believe anyone else in this tower who engages in violence should be dealt with in the same way. This tower is our home, at least for now, and if we are all going to live here, I think it's time to lay down some groundrules, and figure out how to enforce them.

I'M TRULY SORRY IF YOU'VE FALLEN PREY TO ONE OF MY SPECIES.
I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY BY THIS IS 'WE'RE NOT ALL LIKE THAT'.

[touchofgenius]

Don't worry, I've kind of noticed the farther you are from purple, the less likely you are to kill me for no reason.

[benigncancer]

HIGHBLOODS PRIDE THEMSELVES ON THEIR STRENGTH AND THE BETTER ABLE THEY ARE TO CULL AND OPPRESS OTHER TROLLS, THE HIGHER THEY'LL RISE.
I GUESS.
ALSO THEY TEND TO BE MORE LIKELY TO GO SHITHIVE MAGGOTS.
BUT IT'S NOT UNIVERSAL. WE HAVE PURPLES AND BLUES HERE THAT DON'T GO AROUND KILLING PEOPLE.

[touchofgenius]

Yeah, and the fishy princess is a pretty nice girl from what I've heard of her.

So where do you fall on the blood color caste system? I've honestly never seen one of you guys type in such a bright red.

[benigncancer]

FISHY PRINCESS?

I'M A MUTANT, ACTUALLY.
I'M NOT ON THE HEMOSPECTRUM.

[touchofgenius]

Uh, yeah. The one with the Pisces symbol? The one who's up at the very top of the hemospectrum?

So bright red is a mutation, but purple and pink are completely natural colors. Sounds legit.

[benigncancer]

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE CONDESCE, BECAUSE SHE'S DEF--
OH!
YOU'VE MET THE HEIR, HAVEN'T YOU?
I'VE NEVER MET HER!

THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH.

[touchofgenius]

Well I've definitely never met anyone named the Condesce so I'm guessing I'm talking about the heir. You should talk to her if you get the chance, she's pretty sweet.

Granted, I'm seeing this from a human's perspective which has me thinking that any color blood other than red is pretty strange, so my sarcasm is more ignorance than any right to be snarky. ...And snarky is hard when the person you're being snarky at doesn't get angry.

[benigncancer]

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING HER.

YEAH, HUMANS HAVE THE SAME COLOUR BLOOD AS ME.
IT'S SO WEIRD...
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON I'D EVER MET WITH MY BLOOD COLOUR UNTIL I GOT HERE.

[touchofgenius]

Well, it makes sense. You trolls created Earth, from what I've heard.

[benigncancer]

YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD THAT.
BUT I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND IT.
AND I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT MEANS HUMANS WOULD HAVE BLOOD LIKE *MINE*.

[touchofgenius]

I'm guessing that means you were the one in charge of making people.

Or your heir was or whatever.

[benigncancer]

I THINK YOU MEAN MY DESCENDANT.
I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE.
I WAS THE LEADER THE LAST TIME AROUND, I THINK.
KARKAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO WIN.

[touchofgenius]

You win and you get to make a whole new species? Shit, I want to play that game some time.

[benigncancer]

I THINK YOU MAKE A NEW UNIVERSE, YEAH.
AND RULE OVER IT AS GODS.

[touchofgenius]

Actually, in our case, you rule over it as constellations and astrological signs. So slightly less glamorous.

[benigncancer]

I DON'T THINK IT'S GLAMOROUS, EITHER WAY.
CONSIDERING IT'S ALL DOOMED FROM THE START.

[touchofgenius]

Well that's. Dark.

[benigncancer]

BUT TRUE, UNFORTUNATELY.
AT LEAST SO FAR AS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TELL.

[touchofgenius]

I know the feeling, trust me.
