[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: He didn't mind her using his horns like handlebars- they were practically in the perfect position and shape for her to do so. It made it easier to make sure she was secure, after all. Kurloz decided he would simply take a long walk around before he would take her back indoors. It was pretty peaceful out. In fact, he decided to head towards a particularly flowery environment. 16:47:29

Karkat: *Karkat had been wandering for some time by now. The mutant troll was quite unsure of where he was heading to, or what he could expect. Step by step, he could finally see something in the distant fog. Squinting his eyes, Karkat stood on the tip of his shoes, trying to get a better view.* WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING? *Wary yet curious, Vantas stepped further... only to notice that the "thing" looked like a huge mansion.* WHY WOULD SOME DOUCHE JUST LEAVE THIS BUILDING ENSEMBLE HERE? *Karkat deeped in further, noticing that the entrance doors were unlocked. He grabbed the knob of one and walked in, still wary about his surroundings.* IS IT EVEN INHABITATED? 18:36:35

PORRIM: Ah, the so+und o+f a Vantas. Fo+r Po+rrim, their vo+ices were unmistakable. Po+rrim sto+o+d up fro+m the table in the dining area that she had been drinking tea at, heading to+wards the entrance. She was pretty sure that was the directio+n she heard his vo+ice co+ming fro+m, at least. Peeking thro+ugh the do+o+rway, Po+rrim lifted called o+ut to+ him o+nce she spo+tted Karkat. "Hello+, Karkat." Fro+m the lo+o+ks o+f things, this must be a new o+ne. "No+ need to+ be nervo+us, this place seems relatively harmless. I can't say the same fo+r so+me o+f the visito+rs who+ have been appearing, tho+ugh..." Po+rrim trailed o+ff, walking into+ the ro+o+m. 18:59:53
Karkat: (( Canon Porrim, right? Dead and all 19:03:11

[color=#416600]MEULIN: She was trying not to kick her feet since he was using them to hold her, she did enjoy seeing some of the sights around as she had mostly been in the woods or inside. She did pester a lot of other trolls but this was nice, she would see in the distances some flowers a lot of variety. She would purr during the detour, enjoying all the scenery. [/color] 19:04:21
(( most are dead unless stated otherwise and i know there porrim is in fact dead so lol 19:04:51
Karkat: (( Aighto, thanks 19:05:07
Karkat: *Karkat stopped as soon as he heard a feminine voice, whom he did not recognize, coming from the hallway. Taking up a good dose of courage, Karkat quickly followed the voice's source; just to stumble upon a troll bearing a black dress. What stood out the most, though, were her dead, white eyes. Karkat definitely did not recognize that girl, albeit she had a vague resemblance with Kanaya.* WHO ARE YOU, AND HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW MY NAME? 19:11:46

Karkat: *Karkat stood a bit dumbfounded as Porrim offered him some tea. Deep down, though, the mutant troll wasn't rude enough to decline an invite. He sighed briefly, grabbing a chair and taking his seat.* NICE TO MEET YOU, PORRIM. I GUESS.. *He put two fingers between his eyes.* FOR MY OWN THINKPAN SANITY, PLEASE DO NOT MENTION EVER FUCKING AGAIN THE "OTHER ITERATIONS" OF MYSELF. THEY'RE A BUNCH OF SQUAWKING, DROOLING MOUTH-GAPED ASSHOLES! *It was pretty clear that Karkat never had pleasant talks with his "other selves". He sighed once more, grabbing his own teacup.* ANYHOW, I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE BROAD CONCEPT OF "DREAMBUBBLES", BUT I MUST SAY THIS "MANSION" IS A FIRST. ALSO, YOUR HATCHNAME IS ODDLY IDENTICAL TO ONE I KNOW. 19:37:25

PORRIM: "Very well, I'll do+ my best to+ keep that in mind." Po+rrim shifted in her seat so+ that she wo+uld be able to+ face him o+nce he sat do+wn. "Yo+u co+uld say that I'm 'related' to+ the Maryam yo+u kno+w, mo+re o+r less." She tapped her nails against the table, adjusting the strap o+f her dress idly. It seems every Vantas- no+ matter what iteratio+n- is generally no+t a fan o+f their 'o+ther selves.' "If it makes yo+u feel mo+re co+mfo+rtable, yo+u can think o+f me as Kanaya's ancesto+r- I wo+uld have been, in ano+ther timeline, after all. That's neither here no+r there, tho+ugh, co+nsidering we didn't even gro+w up o+n the same planet." She laughed slightly, leaning o+n the table a little. 20:00:52
♋: As he feels more and more of her memories, Signless did not seem to react with hesitation. His dreams of a bright future for trolls turned to nightmares as his life grew colder. In more ways than one, it was easier to hear her story than continue rotting alone. Like Signless had said before, he was not particularly averse to suffering. He was beaten and tortured for sweeps, mutilated. In her transfer of energy she would feel the vast emptiness imposed by his own memories. She would come to know adverse pains, and experimental horrors. She could feel her blood drained and returned through her veins, and her skin flayed piece by piece. In an instant she would know her ribs to be cracked open and turned around, her musculature exposed by blade and blunt trauma. One more than one occasion he had been stripped naked and beaten until all his bones had broken. In their discovery they would find no mutant powers in his blood but perhaps an undying hatred- so resilient in fact it bled out of him like ooze while she filled his head with new memories. [br] [br]He blinks a few times and looks away from her, the weight of their shared experience setting into him a bit more heavily. Her early life disgusted him, and seeing her do unspeakable things to his mother figure in her timeline almost made him want to kill her on the spot. But she seemed... rehabilitated, in an odd sense. He looks away from her and slowly puts his feet up on a chair, trying to think. 20:17:52
ROXY: Roxy found herself wandering the mansion by herself for a while and rather quickly felt that, despite the fact this was a constructed reality, the space was feeling rather stuffy. She headed downstairs and out the backdoor, wandering off into the local ecosystem of various memories and thoughts mashed together. It wasn't too long before she stumbled upon what appeared to be some sort of botanical garden with trees, flowers, and shrubs of many varieties. In hopes she'd keep herself entertained for a while, she began reading the plaques and signs giving information on the individual plants. She stopped at one bed of flowers, noticing the beautiful shade of pink "Hm. Amaryllis belladonna, also known as the 'Naked Lady Lily.' That’s a lil quirky." She giggled to herself, crouching down to examine the petals "I don’t really see it tho.." 20:18:19
♋: [color=red]"I can... empathize... surprisingly. However I do stand by what I said. I was a much better leader." 20:19:37
Karkat: (( Back! 20:25:57
PORRIM: ((weba! 20:27:14
Karkat: *Karkat sipped his own share of tea as he was learning a little about Porrim. To say the least, his thinkpan was blown away... though all of that did make some sense. He looked now a bit more open and less stressed, perhaps because he associated Porrim to Kanaya, one of the few trolls that Karkat could genuinely deem as "friends".* HUH, I GUESS ALL THOSE STORIES ABOUT BEFORUS WEREN'T TOTAL NEIGHBEAST CRAP. SPEAKING OF WHICH... HAVE YOU EVER MET KANAYA BEFORE? 20:31:02
[color=#6a006a]CRONUS: after the vwalk in vwith arenea and her vwalking off god knowvs vwhere, he vwould find himself vwandering again. hes been doing that a lot lately, especially since he’s been nervwous of falling objects and kurloz. a newv section of the bubble had popped up, so he decided to invwestigate. vwhat could possibly go vwrong! it vwas a nice looking garden area and did his fins betray him did he hear the vwords naked lady? vwalking ovwer to roxy and trying to pretend he knowvs vwhat she’s talking about. “hey, vwhats up doll. something about naked ladies?” [/color] 20:31:15
PORRIM: Po+rrim no+dded, tracing a finger alo+ng the rim o+f her o+wn teacup. "Yes, Kanaya and I have had quite a few co+nversatio+ns, actually. I haven't seen her in a while, tho+ugh." She tho+ught back to+ her co+nversatio+ns with Kanaya. Mo+st no+tably, o+f co+urse, was her having taught her ho+w to+ co+ntro+l her rainbo+wdrinker glo+w. It'd been a while since then, tho+ugh. "At least, as far as I can tell. It's no+t like there's any real indicato+rs fo+r the passage o+f time here." She giggled slightly, lifting her cup to+ take ano+ther sip. 20:43:46
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz had spent so much time practically neglecting Meulin, he felt as though he should spend some proper quality time with her. There was no real way for him to recover his ability to speak, even if he removed his stitches, but they were still able to communicate just fine without it. Once he made his way into the fields of flowers, he waded through them a little before kneeling down so that Meulin could hop off. 20:46:02
PORRIM: ((cant sto+p thinking abt ho+w funny it wo+uld have been fo+r po+rrim to+ walk in o+n mindfang and evil signless (no+t go+ing to+ do+ that but think o+f the funny) 20:49:31
Karkat: YEAH, UH. I WONDER HOW SHE'S DOING. *Karkat finished drinking his own cup of tea, subsequently cleaning his mouth with a napkin.* I'VE BEEN WANDERING FOR ONLY GOG KNOWS HOW LONG IN THIS ABSOLUTE CESSPIT OF FANFARE BUBBLES AND FEVER DREAMS. UGH... *The mutant troll massaged his forehead with his right hand.* TO BE BLUNTLY HONEST, I LOST THE TRACK OF TIME. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SWEEP OR BILUNAR PERIGEE IT IS, AND FRANKLY I DON'T CARE. *He decided to stand up from his chair and take a look around. The place had some resemblance to a living room, with bookshelves, cushy sofas and, of course, the table he and Porrim were sitting around.* DO YOU SPEND YOUR EXISTENCE ALL ALONE IN THIS MISERABLE PLACE? 20:50:32

PORRIM: "Of co+urse no+t. I think I wo+uld have left ages ago+ if I was left here all alo+ne fo+r so+ lo+ng." Her eyes fo+llo+wed him as she refilled her o+wn cup with tea, dro+pping a sugar cube into+ it. "Several o+thers fro+m my gro+up have also+ been aro+und- as well as a few o+f the versio+ns o+f us that [i]wo+uld[/i] have existed, had we been sent to+ Alternia." Po+rrim paused to+ take a sip o+f her tea, trying to+ gather her tho+ughts to+ try to+ remember who+ all exactly she had seen. "Hmm... I kno+w I've been spending quite a lo+t o+f time in particular aro+und [i]my[/i] Vantas. Kurlo+z and Meulin are presumably o+ff do+ing their o+wn thing, as per usual... Cro+nus is...

She tapped her fingers o+n the table, pressing her lips to+gether fo+r a mo+ment.

[color=#005682]♏: This was not surprising to her in the slightest, she could tell he had a harder life considering his warped perception of their world. His past was not only messy but downright horrendous, though her facial expression never changed from her regular stoicism. The effects of sharing weren’t unheard of and outright happened often, being on the other end of torture was not new to her. Some of these methods were foreign even to her standards, She did enjoy watching some people suffer for crimes they had committed against her in the past.[br] [br] Even though her face was still staying stoic, she had started crying. She hadn’t noticed at first but when she did, she would put her hand up towards her face and wipe them off. She wasn’t feeling particularly upset, so it had to have been his sadness affecting her. “I may have pride but I'm not prideful enough to argue with you a8out this seeing as I now know exactly how stu8orn you are.” She would sigh and take a seat next to him at the bar again, She has no reason to argue or fuss.

[color=#FF0000]♋: Their clothes were surely dry by now, and the Sufferer had been sitting outside of the water long enough for himself to dry off, as well. He donned his righteous leggings and his cloak, gathering Disciple's clothes for her, as well. Approaching her, he helped her put her clothes back on, as well. "I suppose we should try to figure out how we will be decorating our new home? Although... I'm not sure either of us have a very strong skillset for that." The Dolorosa usually was the one who did the decorating, after all. They'd never had to really worry about it before. 21:03:22
[color=#416600]MEULIN: The flowers looked beautiful, her eyes lit up seeing so many of them, She would carefully get down from atop of him, She was oddly gentle for someone being related to a disciple. Once both her feet were settled on the ground she decided to grab his hand and hold it. Using the other to sign. (^･ω･^) < THIS PURRLACE IS BEAUTIFUL, SO MANY DIFFURRENT KINDS OF FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE! > The excitement inside her making her squeal a little bit. [/color] 21:05:51
Karkat: THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW, I GUESS. THIS PLACE ISN'T AS DEAD AS I THOUGHT. *Karkat crossed his arms on his chest, glancing at Porrim's teacup. She must really like that sort of stuff.* IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE GOT IMPORTANT BUSINESS, WHICH WOULD MAKE ME FLIP MY SHIT TWICE, TO DO. A LITTLE "TOUR" OF THIS PLACE COULD HELP, IF YOU COULD. *Surprisingly enough, Karkat was acting as polite as he could be around Porrim; perhaps due to an association with Kanaya.* 21:07:01
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz nodded in agreement, gently lacing their fingers together when she took hold of his hand. He lifted a hand to gesture towards some flowering trees, starting to walk again. This sort of place was easier to appreciate with Meulin around. Perhaps it was just because it usually the sort of place he would be found in. <WE CAN COME BACK HERE SOMETIME.> He signed with his free hand, careful to have made sure she was looking before doing so. 21:08:49
[color=#416600]♌: She had no issues letting her matesprit drag her out of the water and clothe her, it’s not like he hasn’t done that before and will do it again. Though she did want new clothes these ones looked odd to her but close enough for now, as long as he is happy she is happy. “I agree, but what do we use furr decorations? We have never had a purrmanent home befurr.” She wasn’t wrong, they moved around a lot.[/color] 21:09:31
PORRIM: There simply wasn't much else to+ do+, so+ she had taken to+ enjo+ying so+me tea in the do+wntime. "I'd be mo+re than happy to+." Putting all the tea things into+ her sylladex, she pushed herself to+ his feet. "The interio+r seems to+ change a little depending o+n who+'s aro+und, but the layo+ut tends to+ stay mo+re-o+r-less the same." She explained a little, her fingertips trailing o+ver his upper back as she walked past him to+ walk into+ the hall. "The kitchen is co+nnected to+ the dining area, acro+ss the hall fro+m here. Whatever yo+u can think o+f that wo+uld be in a kitchen is in there, including any ingredients fo+r things yo+u might decide to+ lo+o+k fo+r. I can make yo+u so+mething, so+metime, if yo+u'd like." Glancing back at him, she wo+uld pause to+ make sure that she wasn't getting to+o+ far ahead o+f him. 21:13:08
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She would be able to remember where this is, even though her memory sometimes got foggy there were specific places she would always remember, most of them involved kurloz or mituna though. She would keep pace with him looking around at all the different wildlife and colors, she was easy to please sometimes. (^･ω･^) < YES PURRLEASE, THIS PURRLACE IS QUITE A FIND, HOW DID MEW FIND IT AND WHEN DID MEW FIND IT? > she knew the answer was probably when he was doing something secretive but she was going to ask anyway.[/color] 21:14:31
[color=#FF0000]♋: "I'm not too sure..." He paused for a moment, looking around. "Maybe some carefully placed vines and flowers? We should probably prioritize some basic furnishing, though. This place allows us the leisure to have that much, after all. I can try my hand at building a few things, perhaps." He prattled on a little, taking hold of her hand as he started walking back to their cave. 21:14:53
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: His free hand lifted in a shrug before he adjusted himself to sign back to her. <I FOUND IT DURING MY IDLE EXPLORATIONS. AIN'T NO PLACE TO BE LEFT MOTHERFUCKIN UNDISCOVERED. THREE IS PLENTY OF PLACES THAT I'M SURE YOU WOULD ENJOY.> Granted this place often had new areas popping up, Kurloz was always pretty quick to find out and check it out. Getting around bubbles was something of his specialty by now. 21:19:17
[color=#416600]♌: She would nod in agreement, though they might need some help maybe later though. “We could steal some of the furnishings in the other hive, I don’t think they belong to anyone.” They don’t but stealing is wrong and you know this disciple, try again. Walking back with him, letting him talk about everything.[/color] 21:20:33
Karkat: *As he listened, Karkat finally got a better understanding of the place he was standing in. He walked in the kitchen which, somehow, reminded him of the cooking corner that was in his Alternian hive.* HUH, THAT'S... KIND OF COOL, ACTUALLY. *He glanced at Porrim again, nodding.* I THINK I GOT THE GIST OF IT. *The mutant troll gave one last glance to the kitchen, before looking at Porrim again.* IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD SEE OR KNOW? 21:26:08
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She was paying attention to his signing but she was also a little lost in thought for a moment. She isn’t surprised that he spent most of his time away from her exploring, he’s told her that many times. she would reply back. (^･ω･^) < MEW HAVE TWO MORE PURRLACES TO TAKE MEOW? > She is content for now, but going other places later sounded like fun. [/color] 21:31:31

The enviro+nments o+utside seem to+ also+ change a little, but o+verall there's practically separate eco+systems that so+rt o+f exist side-by-side in the different bio+mes. It's no+t to+o+ unusual fo+r the bubbles, tho+ugh. There's a variety o+f sleeping blo+cks o+n the upper flo+o+rs, so+me have human beds and so+me have recuperaco+o+ns." She paused to+ turn to+wards him again, resting her hands o+n her hips.[br] [br]"This place seems to+ attract quite zany individuals, so+ I sho+uld at the very least warn yo+u abo+ut that. I'm sure yo+u heard sto+ries o+f yo+ur ancesto+rs o+n Alternia- the versio+ns o+f my gro+up that we wo+uld have been- so+me o+f them have been sho+wing up here.

[color=#FF0000]♋: "Of course not. Even if it doesn't belong to anyone, we should never stoop so low as to steal from another place. Besides, wouldn't we be missing the opportunity to add our own personal charm to everything if we just took from someplace else?" He shifted his arm to adjust his cloak a little. "I don't think we would be being authentic if we simply copied our interior from that other hive, anyway. I'm not sure how well the furnishings from inside there would hold up inside a cave, anyway..." 21:44:20
Karkat: HMM. *Karkat paused a little, putting two fingers on his chin as he hummed.* I GUESS MEETING MY ANCESTOR WOULD BE A HELL OF AN EXPERIENCE. YEAH. *He looked at Porrim again and nodded as he put one hand on her right shoulder.* AND.. THANK YOU, I GUESS. IT'S NOT LIKE I'M NEW TO ANY OF THIS, THOUGH. I HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF ZANY PEOPLE BACK ON ALTERNIA, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THEIR SHENANIGANS TOOK A HUGE TOLL ON MY SHAMEGLOBES. *He briefly paused, before speaking once more.* I THINK I'LL LOOK AROUND HERE THEN, DO YOU MIND IF I GIVE YOU A CALL IF THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED? I FEEL LIKE I CAN TRUST YOU. 21:46:22
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz nodded. There were a lot of unique places in this bubble alone, even if they changed slightly as different people came and went. He was sure that she would enjoy a lot of them. Meulin always did like exploring, after all. <YES, BUT NOW IS NOT THE TIME. I WILL SHOW THE PLACES TO YOU WHEN THE TIMING IS RIGHT.> 21:46:28
ROXY: Roxy stood back up straight and turned to face Cronus once she'd heard his question "Oh you know it, not the kind yer probably looking for tho. LOL." She proceeded to gesture to the flowerbed with a smirk across her face "I'm wondering how they came up with the name... N-E-ways, what're you up to? Besides asking strange women about naked ladies, of course." Snrk. She continued to look around the garden, staying within the vicinity of Cronus so she could examine the signage while listening to whatever he had to say. 21:47:55

[color=#6a006a]CRONUS: vwell it vwas vworth a shot, no skin off his teeth they say. “fair enough.” he vwould look ovwer at the flovwers she vwas gesturing tovwards, huh they did kinda look like naked ladies. vwell in a vweird flovwer vway. “ thinking about vwhat to say, because sounding like a covward forced to do magic and being hit by a toolbox is probably not the vway to flirt vwith someone. but he doesn’t knowv vwhat she likes, vwhat a dilemma, he’s going to pretend to knowv exactly vwhat he’s doing or saying. “i vwas chilling at the bottom of a lake for a vwhile, met up vwith arenea for a bit and vwandered ovwer here. howv about you kitten, anything cool you’vwe been up to lately.” he vwas gonna followv her around, he did not havwe much else to do.

[color=#416600]♌: She put on a fake pout for a moment before giggling, she knew the answer was no. “Alright, no stealing. But we should get propurr help then, we don’t know what we are doing.” She was not wrong, it would be better to find others to help them in their new home excursions and to give her a new outfit. “We can always try new things, it has never stopped us befurr.” She would grab his hand with a smile walking with him. [/color] 22:20:05
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She loved exploring, but she hadn’t got to explore much recently because she was busy drawing mimes in the dirt and having a tea party with his mirthiful.

[color=#FF0000]♋: He paused for a moment, cupping his chin in thought. "Yes, and I imagine it would be nice for you to get some proper clothes. Those don't suit you particularly well. Of course- You still look fantastic. I can just tell when clothes aren't particularly comfortable for you." Signless turned, heading back towards the large hive. "I suppose we can start there, first." 23:46:21

♋: He watches as her own constitution is grizzled by the acceptance of pain. It wasn't something he had intentionally pushed upon her, rather it seemed like the natural progression of sharing such emotions. [color=red]"I don't want praise."[/color] He modestly looks away, trying to spare himself from any gaze of admiration she might have held in her eyes for the moment. [color=red]"I'm an evil man. I am the most evil troll I've ever met, and the empress personally oversaw my execution. I know what I'm capable of..." [/color] Tears begin streaming down his cheeks, but he just wipes it away and swallows the lump in his throat. His want for a new empire led to the deaths of so many that he was considered a war criminal. He knew the tragedy of his actions, and sought no pity. [color=red]"Stop feeling bad for me. This world was always ugly, I just knew what it took to keep some semblance of beauty when watching the horror. I don't want anybody to care about me anymore, I just want to burn- it feels better than remembering who I've failed." [/color]Signless sighs once more, this time he looked over to Mindfang. Seeing the extent of her love and confidence in life made him feel a bit endeared to her, as hard as it was to admit. He hadn't felt anything in so long, longer than she had been alive maybe. [color=red]"Whatever.... how's the fucking weather?" [/color] Tears dry across his face, and with a shy gaze he grins at her, waiting. 23:57:55

[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz held a finger in front of his mouth in a hushing motion, guiding her through the field of flowers until they reached a large tree stump. He released her hand, lifting the stump to reveal a small tunnel. Pulling her in after him, he let the stump fall back down to cover the hole as he guided her through the dark until they reached a well lit crystal-filled cave with some glowing plants on was was like a small island surrounded by water. He guided her over to a large tree that spanned across the whole roof of the cave, all the little flowers on the tree glowing. 00:31:18
[color=#005682]♏: She was never going to praise him in the first place, Why praise someone for being wreckless and full of hate for the things he should have cherished. She was only going to listen to him, the irony of it all when he accused her of making him the therapist. but alas this will happen with unstable individuals like him. She did not need to explain herself any longer, he saw everything. "Why should I feel 8ad for you?" She wanted to know the real answer of why he assumed she should even consider feeling bad for someone she barely knows, knowing someone's past does not necessarily mean the future will 8e the same.[br] [br]She was always considered a ruthless cold blooded monster, no matter how hard she tried no matter what she did it was always the same. So when she finally had the summoner and lost him again that was the breaking point of her finally feeling defeat in the bubbles. She was lost in thought until he suddenly went from balling his eyes out to suddenly talking about the weather, considering what they just did. She knows he manipulates people, however he’s not as good as he thinks he is. She believes lady luck played a part in his downfall, lady luck is a brutal mistress. Looking out the window of the tavern, then back at him. “The sea's 8rewing up a storm, she might even take out several ships in her wake. This is only the 8eginning” [/color] 00:32:38
[color=#416600]♌: She was only wearing them because they were the only ones properly available at the time she got them, he should know he’s the one who found them. “I would hope beclaws they are comfortable but not worth using during hunts or fishing. They weigh mew down.” She would follow him. “Sound purrfect!”[/color] 00:35:54

[color=#77003c]@lance FEFERI ==> Does the cuttlefish not entice? Look at it now, all floppy frills and bulging eyes that glare piteously at this internally monologued rejection. It goes for a yawn, which for a cuttlefish consists of splaying its tentacles like a horrible flower. “)(mm! Didn't I? I mig)(t recall saying somefin about )(UG-E plans. T)(e )(UG-EST plans for my new -Empire on t)(e ruins of t)(e old one, w)(en t)(e SGURB dust settled and Glb'golyb was D---EAD.” She giggles lightly, as if discussing her cancelled summer vacation. ”Oar did I forget to mention it?” [br] [br] “In t)(e end, everyone was too busy admiring t)(eir personal oceanfront to )(eed your wise s)(outs.

[color=#008282] @lance ♎ ==> Put a hot air balloon over your hotbox circus tent and take your fortress of solitude skyward. Redglare steps out after the Highblood, snorting at the way he squeezes through the doorframe. He’s truly dreamed himself a palace for ants. “you 4r3 corr3ct. 3v3ry cup th1s s1d3 of th3 dr34msp4c3 w1ll b3 t41nt3d by 4ll our coll34gu3’s brut4l psycholog1c4l compl3x3s. truly grody stuff.” She affects a cold shudder. “now you und3rst4nd why my off1c3 m4ch1n3 1s such 4 pr3c1ous 4rt1f4ct, 4bl3 to sp1n 4 doubl3 3spr3sso from pur3 4r4b1c4 w1thout 4ny 4dult3r4t1ng 1m4g1n4t1on involv3d 1n th3 proc3ss.” [br] [br] Outside, the panorama smells like terrible, terrible nature. A matcha latte’s worth of unchecked vegetation. She elbows him, which given their respective heights, is a literal poke to the ass. "forthw1th, 4 br13f j4unt to th3 ***34rly b1rd***, kurz. 1 h4v3 4 coupon book!" She signals with her cane to something truly horrific. A bus stop. [/color] 00:40:59
@bones HORUSS ==> "Neglect?" This prompts him to take another glance back at his depression sweats. There’s still Gura. She is big eyed and emitting anime sparkles, and is very much not a horse. Under Porrim’s watchful ministrations, perhaps this is the last accursed anime shirt to survive he and Rufioh and Damara’s halcyon days. Here stands a piece of walking history, and it has vertical blush lines. Hey, it’s comfy. “Aha~ But on the contrary, I’m perfectly happy never, ever being acknowledged at all! But nevertheless! I do plead your forgiveness for making you feel guilt-ridden with such untoward manner of dress.” [br] [br] He’s rambling, looking desperately for a way out. The stairwell beckons. It’s possible that Porrim has never seen Horuss’ eyes before, without the tinted welding goggles in the way. Hereupon he gives her the softest most pleading look. “Well, I daren't 100k a gift hoofbeast in the mouth, not when you're so graciously shoving it down my throat like this. But certainly you must need a moment to trot off in search of your trusty tape measure! A smith cannot work happily without her t001s! Haha.” He’ll hear it from her later for ditching her, but the Void in him is confident she won’t find him for at least a few weeks. “...Shall I go and fetch them for you?” 00:41:15
