[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 could do that.

Urm, quite a bit. I usually have to slash my arm to get it to last over an hour. And I guess the other problem is that it won't work as well if the blood spilled isn't mine, since I'd be the one who drew it.

It's still something that might help for a while, at least. Urm, until something more workable can be figured out.

Though I'm not sure how well it'd work on trolls? Your trolls are not what I'm familiar with.

I'd like to try it out, if you don't mind. I'm Yori.

THE 22ND FLOOR?
Hopefully they won't mind chalk drawings.

[When Signless arrives on the 22nd floor, there's an albino kid with terrible dress sense crouched on the floor with some pieces of chalk. Around him is a mostly complete magic circle that he is focusing intently on, muttering the lines for the spell to himself as he writes them down on the floor.]

Oh! Urm, the Signless, yes?

[Don't...mind the feeling of someone staring into your head Signless, even if isn't exactly strong. Yori kind of can't help it, and focusing on someone helps with dealing the noise he gets from the rest of the tower.]

These are the wards, urm. And I'm almost done.

Oh, urm, thank you. Just stand outside the circle while I finish this...

What is it?

[...Which is more just a formality when he can cheat and know Signless' question already.]

[...should he lie but no lying is bad and the Tower isn't the same as home! But at the same time Signless is the first one to actually notice the mindreading, or at least the first to notice and make it known.]

Urm. Yes? -- I'm not really looking into it, much.

[And it relieves Yori because he doesn't like people being afraid of him.]

...Yes.

Urm, I guess so. Back home, most people don't know about it. Or they wouldn't believe it right away. It could be a lot worse.

[Not that this doesn't mean he hasn't already had people react badly to knowing their mind is being read.]
