LUNAR FESTIVAL | DAY FOUR | ELDERS & WOLF SPIRITS

[paradisamods]

[A new day brings new elders. They are certainly unlike the elders of previous days.

There are also a great number of spirits wandering the castle grounds. They are not elders, but wolves. They shift between spirit and corporeal, appearing quite menacing to some. Still, they wander about with little to no acknowledgement of the residents.



A rather peculiar day indeed.]

How funny... [She moves closer to the figure, looking up at him curiously and respectfully. What would that mean? That he's made up, or he was erased on purpose. Curious indeed.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

H...howw is that funny?

[He sounds just a little embarrassed, cause maybe he's aware of how hypocritical that sounded.]

Troll culture is deep an' complex, I wwouldn't fuckin' expect anyone here to get it anywway.

[payback]

If he's not there, he must either be made up, or everything that mentioned him might've been suppressed, don't you think? [She's standing up close to the Signless now, looking into his face.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Then it wwas probably for a good reason.

He probably fucked up completely somehoww on a vvast scale, so much that noone wwanted to fuckin' remember howw badly he screwwed up.

Simple as that.

[Staring at the signless now too, except...well, he just looks bored.]

[payback]

[She rolls her eyes to herself there. Aradia and Nepeta are much cuter, aren't they?]

You're as much of a grump as Karkat.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Eridan is totally the cutest.

JUST LOOK AT THOSE GILLS.]

Don't start comparin' me to Kar.

I am nothin' like him.

[payback]

[But that personality...]

Would it help if I said you were grumpier?

[caligulas_aquarium]

...are you doin' this intentionally or are you just fuckin' stupid?

[payback]

I'm stupid, of course.

1/2

[caligulas_aquarium]

[...]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Wwhat.

[payback]

I said I'm stupid. Obviously. [She smiles at him kindly.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

...

I get that.

But...wwho the fuck admits they're stupid.

Wwho the fuck admits anything bad about themselvves to another person.

Wwhat the fuck is wwrong wwith you? I didn't even think stupid people did that.

[payback]

I just like laughing at the completely floored expression on your face.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...

Okay.

I'm just...gonna assume you're makin' fun of me.

An' leavve it at that.

To wwhich I respond fuck you, fuck you, fuck you times a thousand.

[payback]

You are correct, I am making fun of you, yes. But don't take it too hard.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...howw the fuck wwould I not take someone insultin' me so hard?

It is by nature a bad thing.

Jegus. You really are dumb.

[payback]

Come on now. Has no one ever teased you before?

[caligulas_aquarium]

I'vve been mocked, ridiculed, insulted, argued with a shit ton of people wwhich a' course invvolvved a lot a' name callin' and put dowwns.

But no, I don't knoww wwhat the fuck teasing is. It sounds fuckin' stupid if it invvolvves bein' insulted an' not reactin' badly to it.

[payback]

You probably don't have a lot of friends, huh.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...wwhy the fuck does evveryone keep askin' me that!?

[Scowling again jcdhflv;as]

I'll havve you knoww I havve plenty a' friends.

Just...I met them all here that's all.

[payback]

[Hmm, that was a bit of a low blow wasn't it? She looks amused still, but not entirely unkind, diverting some attention from the Signless to look at him.]

You know, learning to laugh at yourself a little is a good thing to do. For one it means you don't take it so hard if someone else laughs at you.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...

It's not that easy.

[payback]

[A little shrug.]

It just takes practice. It makes rolling with the punches that we get here that much easier, too, if you can look at them being funny sometimes.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Oh fuck, the human girl doesn't get it.

Big fuckin' surprise there!

Troll society is different, you can't just take all that kinda shit an' not react okay.

Makes you look fuckin' stupid an' wweak an' wwhatevver the fuck else. If you'vve spoken to Tavv you'd get it, he's the poorest representation a' our entire race here an' all he does is 'roll wwith the punches' as you call it.
