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.]

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.

[payback]

You're not on your home planet anymore, so you know, maybe your rules are a little obsolete. In that case it seems like you're the one who doesn't get it, since you're stuck on revering something that isn't even relevant anymore.

[caligulas_aquarium]

I'm tryin' a' keep the culture an' shit alivve okay.

It's a lot fuckin' more than any other troll is doin' here.

[payback]

It certainly seems like the ones I've talked to have adjusted better than you.

[caligulas_aquarium]

They never gavve a fuck in the first place, that's wwhy.

An' it's not about adjustin' I could adjust just fine if I fuckin' wwanted to.

In fact for the most part I havve. I'm just not so wwillin' to givve up my fuckin' heritage, it's important shit.

[payback]

[... Well, that she can kind of understand. Although.]

What makes your heritage such hot stuff if you don't have any of the history behind it?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Look, it isn't like I don't havve anythin' to go by. A' course wwe keep track a' the important stuff.

I havve plenty to wwork wwith, alwways havve.

[payback]

But you don't even know what this might be about.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Then clearly he isn't important.

Look, it's really fuckin' simple alright. Status quo stays in place all the time.

Sea dwwellin' trolls, land dwwellin' trolls, evveryone else in that order.

Therefore I'm really fuckin' important.

[Though really he's desperately holding onto the one thing that gives him any sense of self worth.]

[payback]

... But that's ridiculous. [Sorry, Eridan.] Not to upset you, but around here at least, it's not what you say that makes you important, or how important you were before. You make yourself important or not by what you do. You can't just twist people's arms until they revere you.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Hm...It'd been that way a while now even before the castle. Thinking about it frustrates him, but...]

Don't care.

Really could not givve twwo fucks.

Or evven one.

I havve no fucks to givve.

[payback]

[... A shrug.]

Then I bet you'll have trouble getting the treatment you feel like you deserve.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Still don't care.

[He clearly does, but...well he can't argue anymore, it's kinda going around in circles.]

You care about it more at this point than I do.

[payback]

[She doesn't mind circles.]

The statue? Well, sure I do. Did you want to talk about something else?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Nope.

Wwe're done here.

If you wwanna keep talkin' go for it but as a noww I'm just not listenin'.

[He'll fold his arms and just...stand there.

SO MATUREEEEE]

[payback]

[Haha, oh Eridan. She looks a little amused but she turns back and studies the statue a little more, apparently having no trouble with ignoring him.]
