First Sermon [Text]

[iron_infidel]

[Upon his arrival there had been no access to such a network and now that The Signless had found such a device. Now he would be sure to use it to his advantage. He had been informed that their were others here that were of his species. There was even another 'him.' Using his instinct he goes to the network, to introduce himself, and let others know of his presence. Hopefully there would be no repercussions.]

[Network Post]

I give a humble welcome to those who are residents in this tower. I have come to this network to ask a favor.
To start out, I do wish to apologize if I am disturbing any of you.
I am speaking to all of you, but I wish to inquire about the location of those of my species.
That species being, Troll. It is that I am and all I ever have been.
I wish to find who I can and gain information about our location and the different universes that we have come from.
I have already found a considerable amount of information about this neighborhood, consumed the required nutrition and made a few friends.
Unfortunately I have not made contact with any of my roommates and have been informed that they do reside there. I believe my room number is 01-14.
It is not required to meet you, for this I am certain of, but I would like to know the residents I will grow accustomed to seeing daily.

Recently I have seen a increasing amount of disarray and new arrival confusion on the network.
If I may, I am willing to offer assistance to anyone in need.
Given the situation we are all currently in, there is no gain in a solo effort, if we are to leave this place and find a new life for ourselves.
This why I am willing to offer my help.
Do not be shy and I do thank the tower for their time.

[ He's kinda tired, but he figured a conversation wouldn't hurt. Plus, that color was enough to capture his attention. ]

hI,
i'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE I CAN HELP OUT WITH THE INFORMATION YOU SEEK, bUT, i CAN GIVE IT A SHOT,

[iron_infidel]

[pushedaround]

aND, wELL, iT'S NOT REALLY A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE, sO, i THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS PLACE, iS NOT REALLY SAFE,
aND THAT YOU NEED TO BE, cAREFUL, aROUND HERE,
,,

[iron_infidel]

I had suspected something like that. I was informed primarily upon my arrival by my lusus that this place is not kind.
Alternia would be grubsauce in comparison I'm assuming.
It was a poor metaphor, but those aren't truly my thing.

[pushedaround]

oH, oKAY,
i'M SORRY,
i DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE, bUT, wHO ARE YOU?

[iron_infidel]

I am called The Signless.

[pushedaround]

hI,
i'M TAVROS,
nICE TO MEET YOU, i GUESS,
}:)

[iron_infidel]

It is a pleasure.
If I may inquire, I am right in my assumption that you are a troll as well?

[papshooshing]

OH MY GOD.
TURN DOWN THE FONT COLOR, YOU'RE FUCKING EMBARRASSING ME.
IF I HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS SHIT AGAIN, I SWEAR THAT I WILL FUCKING *BEG* TO BE IN ON THE NEXT ROUND OF EXPERIMENTATION.

Oh Karkat you precious baby

[iron_infidel]

How does such a color embarrass you? Your color is so bland and grey.
I do apologize if my color offends you, but I do not wish to *turn* it down as you request.
I am proud of it, it makes me unique and who I am.

sob

[papshooshing]

BECAUSE FUCK COLORS IS WHY.
THE WAY THAT YOU'RE FLAUNTING YOURS AROUND IS WHAT'S EMBARRASSING HERE.
ALSO?
IT'S NOT AS UNIQUE AS YOU THINK IT IS.
IF ANYTHING THE HEMOSPECTRUM IS IN THE MINORITY HERE.
EVERYONE ELSE ONLY HAS ONE GODDAMN SHADE.
SO, REALLY
IT MAKES TYPING IN OUR BLOOD/EYE COLORS COMPLETELY FUCKING REDUNDANT.

no shoooosh no sobbing

[iron_infidel]

I am aware that it is a minority, but I am not showing my color because I wish to make a statement that I am a mutant or one who has this color.
The color is not important. This you are correct about.
This is why I do not hide my color and instead display it.
I do not wish to be classified as that of a mutant, but simply as one who has a blood color and a troll as well.
It seems though that you prefer to hide your color.
Why is that?

[papshooshing]

WELL FUCK.
I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU HAD SOME SERIOUS THINK PAN ISSUES.
IS YOUR MEMORY STARTING TO GO BAD IN YOUR OLD AGE?

[iron_infidel]

No it is not.
You did not answer my question. Is there a reason you are avoiding it?
Or is it simply that you do not wish to speak about such a topic?

[papshooshing]

USE YOUR FUCKING THINK PAN.
*IS* THERE A REASON THAT SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY DO THE FOLLOWING:
A. AVOIDING THE TOPIC
B. NOT LIKE TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING TOPIC
HMMMM!
LIFE'S JUST FULL OF SHIT AND MURDER MIRACLES.

[FORGET TEXT, SHE'S GOING STRAIGHT TO YOU ROOM SIGNLESS!

Disciple knocks rapidly on his door. Preparing herself for either poor disappointment or a joyful shock from this dreadful tower.]

[Action]

[iron_infidel]

[Lucky for her by this point he has returned to his respite block and hears the knock on his door. Given he knows very few within the tower, he is quick to assume that the knock was perhaps for one of his roommates. Still, there was no need he shouldn't be polite and invite the visitor in. Needless to say when he saw her there was a moment of silences as he became overwhelmed with joy and mild disbelief. Even his worry surfaced and in the moment he was stunned.

The Signless is speechless and stands looking her over with his eyes, never once reaching out to touch her.]

Disciple...you are here, present in this tower? Or is this a mere trick of the eyes?

[Action]

[bloodwriter]

[During one of the tower's cruel events and while dealing with the mental aftermath, Disciple had learned that her Signless had disappeared. From there on she tried her hardest to "forget"; mostly by training herself so that she won't show much emotion, all the while getting stronger to protect others.

But that all failed when she previously saw his text and now his speechless body in front of her. She began spilling tears and grabbed him in a fierce hug. Feeling his body and smelling his familiar scent assured her that it was him, and she finally let loose a tired smile.]

Do not worry Signless, for it is truly me. I am here now and I will not fail you once more.

[Action] Tears ;;

[iron_infidel]

[He allowed himself to embrace her and hold her steady in his arms as a wave of relief washed over him. A soft hush sounded from within his throat and he gently ran a hand along her jawline, coming to cup the side of her face. Pulling back a bit so that he could stare into her eyes.]

You have not failed me, my love. I am glad to see you safe while at the same time I am torn to see you in such a place.

[Action] I am loving this <3

[bloodwriter]

[She closed her eyes as he traced her jawline and gave a relaxing sigh when he cupped her face. It was as if all her worries were erasing, especially when hearing his kind voice.]

The same could be said to you. As much as I love being within your presence, I do not want you to suffer as much as I have. But let us not dwell on that. What's done is done.

[She walks out of his arms and into his room.]

Tell me, are you coping well? What do you remember?

[Action] Omg me too! <3

[iron_infidel]

[He turns on his heel to follow her into his domain. Softly he shuts the door behind him, letting it click gently into place. ]

I have been coping well, yes. I have met some of the younger trolls, a spunky old bark beast and I have discovered that my lusus is here as well. They are all well.

I'm not sure what I remember since you did not specify. [He drops a small smile.] I am blessed with many memory's my dear, but I do not know which you are inquiring about.

[Action]

[bloodwriter]

[She brightened up at the mention of Rosa.]

Yes, I have been extremely grateful for her for being with me in this tower. I honestly can say that I would not last as long as I would have without her kindness.

[She then giggled embarrassingly.]

Excuse me, I should have been much clearer. It's just...seeing you like this now has made me so happy, I cannot think straight.

That is not a nice way to explain someone. Unless they are indeed a fool, but I do believe you meant it as an insult.
