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.

[Signless isn't prepared for that, and yelps as she drags him by the cloak, getting himself tangled in it as he flails.

After a moment, he manages to uncover his face, and flops back onto the sleeping rectangle, gasping]

I missed you, so much.

[When he's busy trying to untangle himself, Disciple makes a leap to bounce right on the bed. She soon starts to settle down, and stares warmly at him.]

I missed you just as much. It was very hard being away from you. [She crawls right up to him and snuggles within his cloak.] I even miss being under your cloak! It brings fond memories~.

[He chuckles, and god it feels good to laugh. He can't help but pounce her and cuddle her close again, pressing a kiss to her lips]

I can't wait to tell Psii and Rosa you're here!

[She softly squeals when he pounces on her and starts purring at his loving affections, returning them joyfully.]

Yes! We should have a fun get together soon! We can go hunting, play games, or anything you want.

[A pause]...but I dunno which floor is appropriate for this...or whom we might encounter...

[He grins at her purring and strokes her hair softly, giving her pets and snuggles eagerly]

There are some good floors. The meadow is always free of monsters, and usually the entertainment room is safe enough. There are a few people to be careful of, but I think you know who they are. The Grand Highblood, Dualscar, and the Condesce. Everyone else I've met have been nice.

That sounds great! I am sure once we pass them messages to meet us there, they will happily accept!

[She becomes upset when hearing that they were here, but tries to brush it off.]

It is good to know that not everybody is like those three. I will make sure to try to avoid them as much as possible.

[When she begins to realize what she says, she cringes at herself.]

Not that I am ignoring your recent message! It is just that...I am afraid I will be weak to my anger and cull them multiple times for what they did. ...and I know that is the last thing you want.

[He pets her hair a bit, soothing her with a soft shoosh] I know, it's all right. It's hard not to be angry. We need to remember that they, especially Dualscar and the Grand Highblood, are as trapped by their society as we have always been. But I don't blame you for feeling that way.

[She sighs in relief at his words and thanks him.

Pretty soon, with them just lying within her soft rectangle, she starts to feel tired. She still tries to look at him, but feels her eyelids becoming heavy.]
