[005 ★ text] backdated to before labyrinth stuff

If anyone's looking for Xander, Dawn, or Aradia, they've left. I'm sorry.

I need something to do, so. If anyone who's run into a demon-slash-monster in the tower could reply with what they know about it, I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to try to put together a list of all the ones we know of, so we can be prepared and maybe know their weak spots in advance when we run into them.

You can use this form if you want, but you know, whatever you want to say is fine. If someone else has already described it, could you reply to their thread and say where you saw them, and add anything they missed? Thanks, this'll really help.

oh god why do we have so much CR

[benigncancer]

I SAW A
IMPERIAL DRONE
ON THE CAFETERIA FLOOR ONCE, THOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COUNTS, TO BE HONEST.
THE PLACE WAS PACKED WITH MONSTERS, THAT DAY, I THINK I SAW YOU THERE, TOO.

LMAO DID YOU REALLY TAG ME WITH EVERYONE what are our lives

[guiltapalooza]

An imperial drone? I think I missed this part of the crash course on troll culture. If it's dangerous, I'd say it counts.

Oh, that day! Yeah, there was some serious horde of Mordor going on that day. I don't know if I could even remember everything I saw.

I really had no choice tbh

[benigncancer]

OKAY, WELL IMPERIAL DRONES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE BANE OF ANY SOCIALLY AWKWARD TROLL'S EXISTENCE.
TROLLS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE BOTH A MATESPRIT AND A KISMESIS BEFORE THE IMPERIAL DRONES COME KNOCKING AT OUR HIVES WITH THEIR FILIAL PAILS, EXPECTING A DOUBLE DOSE OF GENETIC MATERIAL TO TAKE TO THE MOTHER GRUB.
IF THE TROLL DOESN'T HAVE THE PRE-MIXED MATERIAL TO OFFER, THEY'RE IMMEDIATELY CULLED.
OBVIOUSLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME, IT'S EVEN MORE TERRIFYING.

my fabulousness was too much for you

[guiltapalooza]

Filial pails-- what???? Is the word filial there really necessary? Also, holy crap, you get killed for not having sex?!

I'm speechless. Type-less. Tell me you at least have some kind of biological reasoning to justify being forced into that. Do you have Pon farr?

Truth

[benigncancer]

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED, AND YES, WE ARE.

WHAT'S PON FARR?

[guiltapalooza]

And you saw an imperial drone. Here. What would it even be doing here?? There's no mother grub for them to bring the stuff to!

Pon farr is this thing in Star Trek where Vulcans undergo a wild blood rage every seven years and have to have sex with a mated partner or they die. It's pretty infamous in certain fan circles.

[benigncancer]

I REALLY DON'T KNOW, AND I DIDN'T STOP TO ASK IT.

UH, NO, TROLLS DON'T HAVE THAT.
WE JUST PAIL WHEN WE WANT TO, WE DON'T GO INTO HEAT OR ANYTHING.

[guiltapalooza]

I'll write it down, but that is officially disturbing and confusing.

Well I had to check! This could be vital information for me! But, it's a relief. That, you know, you don't.

[benigncancer]

THAT'S FOR FUCKING SURE.

SO I'M GUESSING THAT HUMANS DON'T GO INTO HEAT?
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, IT'S WAY MORE LIKELY THAT YOU, AS MAMMALS, WOULD DO THAT, COMPARED TO TROLLS, WHO ARE MORE INSECT-LIKE.

[guiltapalooza]

Okay, point, but no we don't. We get other things from being mammals, like having absurdly high body temperature compared to you guys. Even when I used to hug Aradia I could feel the difference.

[benigncancer]

NOW THAT TEMPTS ME TO GIVE YOU A HUG NEXT TIME I SEE YOU.

[guiltapalooza]

I wouldn't say no. You know, just for scientific research purposes. Comparative biology is a very important field.

[benigncancer]

I DEFINITELY OWE YOU A HUG, THEN!

[guiltapalooza]

I'll put it on the books.
