Your wworlds havve been destroyed. WWhat part of that message wwas unclear?
Abandon the childish notion of evventual return; it's avversivve to behold.

[filtered to ahri, chidori, and the signless]

If you are still unawwares, I must advvise against exploration of floor twwenty-four.

[filtered to her imperious condescension]

except not, so just have a few milliseconds of static before hanging up!!! if returned, he'll get back to her once he's paced the room thirty or so times.]

[evocation]

[Totally judging.]

That sounds complicated.

[orphans]

It is.

[no use beating around the bush about it!!! even if it's simple for him because h e h what else is he good at.................... the answer is nothing. also they are probably arriving at that floor soonish.]

I don't expect humans to be able to comprehend it.

[evocation]

Oh? So I'm not an abomination anymore?

[orphans]

[p a u s e. actually stops in his tracks a moment. let's let the condescension sink in for a moment. petulantly:]

I thought we'd moved on from that.

[evocation]

[She smiles.]

I'm only curious.

[orphans]

[weighing his options here. jesus fuck friendship is hard if it requires staying on someone's good side. like what the FUCK who invented it.]

Depends. Will you become terribly offended if I answer with anything but the negative?

[evocation]

Yes.

[At least she's honest!]

[orphans]

[well there we go.]

Then no, you are not.

[evocation]

Now if only you weren't saying that to stay on my good side!

[orphans]

Should it be otherwise?

[evocation]

Ideally you would actually believe it.

[orphans]

[should he be honest here or... what...]

I do not think you anymore abominable than any other human.

[honestish.]

[evocation]

[She... Considers this...]

Why do you find humans so terrible?

[orphans]

[instantly:]

Because they differ from the ideal.

[evocation]

[HE IS GETTING SUCH A LOOK RN.]

[orphans]

[what








it's true]

[evocation]

Trolls are the ideal, then?

[orphans]

Naturally.

[evocation]

[She's just kind of... Grinning.]

[orphans]

[??? confused






SNEERS]

[evocation]

[She wrinkles her nose at him. Mature friends tbh.]

[orphans]

[horf]

I do not understand what the expression is meant to imply.

[or he can, just thinks it preposterous.]

[evocation]

Does it need to imply anything? What if I'm only teasing you?

[orphans]

[in all seriousness:]

There is nothin' to tease.

[evocation]

[She smiles again.]

I disagree.
