AA: Miss Appel0f?
AA: Y0u haven't g0ne and disappeared 0n me n0w have y0u
PH: You've been s?ending way too much time around Scammy. >:|
PH: What's u?, Cymmy? ?roblems??
PH: >:) Me? Disa??ear? ?erish the thought!
AA: Ah, there y0u are
AA: I can always c0unt 0n y0ur particular meth0d 0f typing t0 ar0use the pr0per disgust necessary t0 live
AA: S0, h0w have y0u been?
PH: Ha! I am a bastion of stability and ?ur?ose, es?ecially for others. I su??ose it's fine as long as the disgust ...aroused... is ?ro?er! >:)
PH: Im?ro?er disgust is so eeeeasy to come by
PH: in these troubled times. >:(
AA: -0-f c0urse
AA: But I meant m0re t0wards y0u, as in h0w have y0u been? We haven't had a p0lite, pr0per chat in quite s0me time
AA: H0w have things been f0r the highbl00d with s0 many things t0 w0rry ab0ut?
PH: Do you want me to be honest or do you want me to lie?
PH: I'd be ha??y to ?rovide whichever answer you're more interested in. >:)
AA: I w0uld prefer h0nesty
AA: But as we all kn0w y0u make the final ch0ice
PH: Hee! ?eo?le always say that. Ironically, I'm ?retty sure it's usually a lie.
PH: Honestly, I ...
PH: ... am torn between...
PH: ... two emotions. I guess. I'm sad for Alternia. But I'm ?retty intrigued by the ?ossibilities. >:)
PH: You'd think that with the world ending, the universe im?loding, Everything Being Destroyed, the ?ossibilities would get narrower! And, sure! There's a lot of blinds?ots and a lot of darkness, buuuuut!!!!
AA: But?
PH: What do you mean, 'but'? Isn't it obvious? But the game isn't what we thought it was, so who knows what it could be? There's something there, and I can't wait to find it! >:)
AA: -0-h, I th0ught y0u were actually g0ing s0mewhere with that
PH: Hee. Wellllllllllllllll. Basically, the gathering of shades, the a??arition of blindness, the obfuscation of ?ur?ose, cou?led with the hammering into our think?ans of Destiny, Destiny, Destiny, Fate, Fate, Fate, ?ur?ose ?ur?ose ?ur?ose, THIS is your ROAD, those OTHER roads are CLOSED ...
PH: ... lends itself to more flexibility than you'd think.
AA: The 0nly r0ads I see 0pen are d00med 0nes
PH: See, Cymmy? So YOU should be glad for blinds?ots >:)
AA: Hrm
AA: Well, I'm glad t0 see y0u're s0 happy, n0w that there are 0nly, what, six 0r seven tr0lls left alive t0 ship?
PH: I
PH: You
AA: Pr0blem?
PH: I am aghast. I am com?letely undone! I am feeling very nearly faint, Cymoth, my vision is blackening, the back of my hand is almost ?ermanently glued to my forehead, because clearly that is the only ?ose a??ro?riate to this moment!
PH: GOSH, you can be silly.
AA: If I c0uld still sigh in displeasure I w0uld be d0ing s0 hard en0ugh t0 shatter this c0mputer screen
AA: Y0u are s0 very mel0dramatic
PH: Admittedly, shi??ing you, TT, LA, S?, AE and C? WILL get difficult, but hey. There are always the s?rites. And ghosts. And im?s. And the voices. I don't know if you've heard them yet. >;) And ?otential clones, I su??ose. Maybe some of the winged things around my land. They seem semi-sentient.
AA: Speaking 0f shipping, and 0ther r0mantic endeav0urs
AA: I hate t0 admit this but I c0me t0 y0u asking f0r advice 0n such
PH: And you, Cymmy, should really work on your sense of drama!
PH: ...Oh reeeeallllly?
AA: Yes
AA: Really
PH: My attention is all yours. >;)
AA: Right well
AA: It's quite simple in the0ry
PH: Sim?licity is highly overrated, but do go on.
AA: I find myself flushed f0r a certain tr0ll, and I need advice 0n ar0using flushed feelings in him
PH: Him, hmmmmmmm? So lA, s? or c?.
AA: Ugh, d0 y0u really need t0 kn0w?
PH: Do you really think there's some kind of vague 'Do this, and then X will be flushed for you' rule? I mean, I su??ose it's ?OSSIBLE to ALCHEMIZE something that works like the ?otion in
PH: Two Scientists Who Always Thought They Might Be Best As Moirails If Anything, But Were Too Socially Awkward To Even Accom?lish Much In That Quadrant, Learn That The Im?erial Drones Are Coming Soon, After Dodging Them For Swee?s By Doing Research On Monkeys, Then The Male Greenblood Troll Doctor ?layed By Troll Tate Donovan Visits A Gy?sy Mutant Mustardblood Who Uses Her Disconcerting Love and Hatr
PH: ed ?owers To Distill A ?otion Ca?able of Ins?iring Total Hatred And Total Adoration De?ending On How It Is Used, He Shares It With His Brownblooded Doctor ?artner, Who Has Been Strung Along By An Avaricious Seatroll Dallying Far Below His Station, There Is A Slow Realization That ?als Were Flushed All Along, A Fli?flo??ing Black Then Red Romance, Many ?ail Filling Wacky Hjinks, And A Scheming Tro
PH: ll Who Gets Their Hands On The ?otion, Followed By A Hilarious Mob Chase Scene, With Even Troll Co?s Loosening U?
PH: Vague advice isn't really very useful >:)
AA: Alright fine
AA: Kyarib
PH: KYARIB! REALLY!
PH: Huh!
AA: He's s0...angry
AA: It's ad0rable
PH: He IS ?retty cute. >:)
PH: Not very bright, but very cute. You like him because he's 'angry,' huh? How strange! >:O We've been ?als for swee?s, and 'angry' isn't really how I'd characterize *him*. Have you been tormenting him about the veracity of his piratehood? >:)
AA: -0-h n0t intenti0nally
AA: I simply made it kn0wn that I questi0ned his claims t0 being an amazing swimmer
AA: And n0w he endlessly asks me t0 delete the chat l0gs and never speak 0f them t0 any0ne
PH: Hee!!!!! When I was servering for Ezreki, he trolled me to say a rustblood might go around s?reading lies and slander, reviling his name, dragging it through the gutter only such lowblooded FILTH could reach.
AA: -0-h did he really?
AA: That's s0 cute
PH: MmmmmmHmmmmmm.
AA: -0-h my y0u d0n't think he hates me, d0 y0u?
PH: Wellllllllll, Cymoth. Shall I ?aint you a ?icture of the situation? >;) An enLIGHTening ?icture? With my most radiant truth-revealing ?en???
AA: -0-h g0 ahead
PH: ?retend that I am obsessed with being a ?irate. ?retend that I am far from any dream of water, that I have never seen it with my own two eyes. ?retend that I eat what I think a ?irate would eat, that I drink what I think a ?irate would drink, that I add salt to my water because surely ?irates occasionally drink saltwater, don't they? Swill on seatroll ?iss and lusus blood? Naturally! ?retend that
PH: I want nothing more, that my four-chambered cardiovascular system yearns, ?um?s true sea blue, for all that is the ?irate's life YO HO!
PH: Are you ?retending that, Cymmy?
AA: -0-h fine, yes
PH: Good! >:) Now ?retend that aloooooong comes a BIG, HULKING, CLUMSY BRUTE, a savage, unso?histicated, bully, who doesn't encourage my strange obsession, who calls me out on what I ?retend is true, because it's the only ?ractice I can get...
AA: I supp0se that's me y0u're insulting there
PH: ... a troll who can clearly see this thing that is so im?ortant for me, and chooses to ... Insinuate that what is im?ortant to me? Isn't mine. That I'm a fake, a fraud, a liar, that this obsession I cleave to with everything I am is actually something I know nothing about
PH: ... tell me, Cymmy. If you were me in that situation -- the ?retend one! -- would you think <3 <3 <3 OMG
AA: I'm n0t stupid, I w0uldn't think that
PH: Would you think <3< <3< <3<????
AA: Perhaps
AA: W0uld he n0t see that as a h0pelessly crude attempt at blackr0m?
AA: -0-ne 0bvi0usly n0t w0rthy 0f pr0per attenti0n
PH: 1.) How interesting. You think striking at the core of someone's self image -- an image they value -- isn't dastardly and villainous enough to set u? a rivalry? >:) I mean, that certainly shouldn't be the ENTIRE basis for a black rivalry, because that would just get tedious, it would have no staying ?ower!
PH: But it's ?retty cruel.
PH: 2.) This is Kyarib.
AA: Hrrrm
AA: But a small p0int
AA: I 0ffered t0 teach him t0 swim
AA: And while he denied n0t having kn0wledge 0f being able t0 swim
AA: He said yes t0 swimming less0ns
PH: Annnnd...?
AA: I'm n0t sure
PH: Let me ask you a question.
AA: -0-f c0urse
PH: If YOU were to feel your blood boiling to blackest ?itch, your heart ?um?ing wrathful, unrelenting hate, your thoughts wandering toward oneu?smanshi? and ?ain-giving and contest, would you not want to occasionally be around your black sweetheart?
PH: Would you not wish to interact, so that you might have more to brood u?on?
PH: And if you were an awkward, ?athetic sort of troll, would not a swimming lesson from someone who outted your secret and ri??ed a?art your delusions, delusions you still attem?t to maintain, be a ?erfect ?lace for such a thing?
AA: Hrrrrm
AA: I'm n0t quite sure if I feel any hatred f0r him, h0wever
AA: And what I want is red, n0t black
AA: What sh0uld I d0...
PH: Hee. Well, you know those quadrants are very volatile. Just because he's feeling black NOW... well, IF he is... doesn't mean he won't feel black later. I confess, I find the idea of hating Kyarib very foreign. I don't think it's the quadrant he first thought he'd fall into, either.
PH: He asked me to make him a "?inkish" shi?, back before the a?ocaly?se ha?/ened. I've been too distracted to work on it. >:(
AA: Awww
AA: I h0pe y0u have time
PH: Well. You're at something of a disadvantage, because Kyarib is ?retty dumb, and dumb trolls get an idea into their think?ans and then a kick from a hoofbeast wouldn't dislodge it.
PH: BUT!
PH: You have an advantage, in that Kyarib is ?retty dumb, in a cunning sort of way. >:) Try dressing u? as a ?irate. Sim?le, but ?robably effective.
AA: Y0u already did give me the eyepatch
AA: Well
AA: A reas0n t0 wear 0ne
PH: Of course, he miiiiiight take every encouraging thing you say as mockery, since you "know the truth," and a dee?ening of your black romance.
AA: He might
PH: Hee, Hee! It was my ?leasure. >;)
AA: ...
AA: Let's stay 0ff that t0pic f0r n0w
AA: I've been wanting a PLEASANT c0nversati0n f0r a while n0w, and as much as I l0athe t0 admit it, it's been fun talking t0 y0u like this
PH: Ahahaha. Romance is always fun to talk about. >:)
AA: Indeed
PH: You know, hel? him build a shi?. To sail in. Do you still sew?
AA: Yes
PH: ?irate shi?s need brutal flags. ?ersonally, I recommend a rainbow for the height of badassery, but then I'd have to thieve it from Kyarib, and I might actually feel a twinge of conscience if I were to thieve a love-flag from a would-be ?rivateer, so maybe work something out more suitable. Like a hook crossed with a ?arrot skull. >:)
PH: Of course, you know. Still ?lay the game. Kill im?s. Talk to your s?rite. Solve the myriad unfathomable riddles. Figure out your role.
PH: Do you know your role yet?
AA: In the few c0nversati0ns I've had with my sprite, that inf0rmati0n has bec0me kn0wn
AA: Y0u refer t0 the title, c0rrect?
PH: MmHmm! What'd you get stuck with? Scribe of Gloom?
AA: Haha
AA: Env0y 0f End
AA: Needlessly dramatic
AA: What did y0u get? Thief 0f Eyes?
PH: Needlessly dramatic? How is the drama inherent in that time needless????
AA: But the end is always the w0rst part 0f anything
PH: And, hee. No?e! I only ever took yours, you know. Well, and there was what'shisname's. I don't remember his name. But I didn't really thieve HIS eyes, either. He was ?erfectly willing to scoo? them out himself when given a bit of motivation! >:)
PH: I'm going to miss Alternia. >:(
AA: I'm n0t
AA: That's a place that needed an ending
PH: Why?
AA: Hrm
AA: Just
AA: L0wbl00d stuff
PH: Or was that official 'Envoy of End' s?eechificationing going on there? A sort of 'take my word for it, I s?eak for the End, I am the End S?eaker, I Messenger For the End, It Is Me' bs?
AA: Haha
PH: Blaargh. Lowblood stuff.
AA: N0, I haven't heard the v0ice 0f the Grand End itself
AA: I speak f0r n0 0ne but myself
PH: i.e., Boo Hoo, I Whine Therefore I Am, ?lease End My Misery? Fuck. >:( Maybe I should have devoted more time to culling.
AA: Ah, there's the Appel0f I remember
PH: I just think it's kind of boring.
AA: S0, h0w is it?
AA: I mean
AA: H0w H-0-RRIBLE is it being s0 high 0n the hem0spectrum?
AA: It must be endless t0rture
AA: G0d, having t0 live in the m0st luxuri0us h0mes?
AA: Having the strength t0 d0 what y0u want?
PH: Well, the main drawback is other trolls giving you mooneyes. >:P
AA: -0-h it must be terrible
AA: Y0u p00r thing
PH: 'Oh wow, your blood, it's so ?ur?le. ?lease bore us all by talking about it.'
AA: ssssssshhhhh
AA: N0 talking
AA: -0-nly c0mf0rt n0w
PH: Holy cra?, do you hear that???????
AA: Are y0u making a j0ke 0r is there actually s0mething t0 hear
AA: Because I've heard the "S0und 0f n0b0dy caring" and all 0f it's variati0ns
PH: Hee! Of course there's something to hear. It's either the crescendo of swee?ing music ?laying during our "comforting moment" with a chorus of eunuchs trilling 'Fuck you' in harmony?
AA: -0-h that's a new 0ne
AA: Brav0
PH: Or it's the sound of lil' Cymmy learning how to use her sarcasm wings. So very cute! >:)
AA: If 0ne listened cl0sely 0ne might hear their furi0us buzzing flaps 0ver the h0riz0n
PH: Well, I'm sure they'll get stronger the more you use them.
PH: They'll take you all the way to the Moons of -- oh. Have you sle?t yet?
AA: Yes
AA: Why?
PH: So you're Awake now?
AA: I assume fr0m the capitalizati0n that that's supp0sed t0 mean s0mething
PH: Hee! Yes, indeed. You are learning to ?ay attention to im?ortant clues! Things That Are Ca?italized Often Do Mean ?ortents And ?lot Relevant Hooha! >:)
PH: So you haven't gone flitting about the Moon?
AA: Ah, s0rry
AA: C0mputer tr0ubles
AA: N0, I have n0 kn0wledge 0f m00ns
AA: I assume y0u speak 0f a specific 0ne
PH: MmHmm. The moon that you're su??osed to Wake on. Your s?rite might have more information. It's very strange, if you've sle?t and didn't also wake!
AA: What's this m00n like then
AA: And why are we supp0sed t0 wake 0n it?
AA: Als0, my Sprite...av0ids me
PH: There are two moons. To go along with the whole battle between Light and Darkness for the seed of ins?iration thing. >:P But you should be slee?ing on one -- a myth for the ?eo?le of that Moon. Though if you are the Envoy of End, I su??ose it would make sense if they tried to kee? you aslee?. Unless they all want The End To Be Nigh. Which would be ?retty silly.
AA: Right
AA: S0 I have a d0uble s0mewhere 0ut in all that space?
PH: Oh! Understandable, I guess. The avoiding, that is. >:P I sort of wish my s?rite would try to avoid me. Instead he -- it -- is just ?retty cree?ily hel?ful.
AA: Really?
PH: Well, not a double -- it IS you, but like, another body I guess? I don't know if it goes and does stuff while you're awake here. >;)
PH: Really to which ?art?
AA: -0-h, t0 any
AA: I'm n0t sure why any0ne w0uld be afraid 0f me
AA: It's n0t as if I'm str0ng en0ugh t0 be danger0us
PH: Well, if you're heralding the End, that's kind of scary. Don't be disingenuous! >:) If I'd known and thought it might have hel?ed, I would've ri??ed out your heart and forced you to choke on it.
PH: Then again, the end times are kind of interesting, so eh.
AA: Well we d0n't kn0w what end I am meant t0 be the env0y 0f
AA: It might simply be the end 0f s0me malev0lent f0rce?
PH: Hee! ?retty o?timistic!
AA: Eh
AA: I'm pr0bably d00med t0 just be the End 0f happiness
AA: -0-r j0y
AA: -0-r r0mance
PH: 'Hello, Malevolent Force. I am Cymoth, and I have a stern letter for you. Your time is u?. Uh, also, I haven't been ?aid yet in game treasure, soo...'
AA: Haha
PH: Ahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahhahahaaha.
PH: 'I'm ?robably doomed to just be the end of ha??iness or joy or romance.' Did you really ty?e that? >:P To think, I thought your sense of dramatics was underdevelo?ed.
AA: My sense 0f depressi0n is unmatched
AA: I c0uld be apathetic at y0u s0 hard that y0u'd c0llapse int0 uncaring dust
AA: If I ever wanted t0 b0ther...
PH: Boo hoo, I'm one of the seven trolls who esca?ed the a?ocaly?se and I get to create something new, oh wait, scratch that, no boo hooing, that im?lies too dee? an attachment to what's ha??ening, maybe I'll just "meh."
AA: Haha
PH: >:) ?retty good, eh?
AA: Y0u are quite...inspiring
AA: In an aggravating s0rt 0f way
PH: I'm a res?onsible troll. >;)
AA: Hrm
AA: Y0u've g0tten t0 y0ur land, c0rrect?
PH: MmHm!
AA: D0 y0u mind telling me what it's like?
AA: I've desired a g00d chitchat 0n the nature 0f 0ur vari0us realms f0r a bit n0w
PH: Sure!
AA: First 0ff, what's the title 0f the land y0u g0t saddled with? The sprite menti0ned the name 0f mine. "Steel and F0lly."
PH: Steel and Folly? Ooo, sounds like it would be full of Troll James Bondian Factories full of fire and brimstone and acid vats and tra?s!
PH: Mine is 'of Falls and Radiance.'
AA: Huh
AA: The Land 0f Steel and F0lly is n0thing s0 interesting
AA: Just an endless inh0spitable desert full 0f c0llapsing, r0tting buildings
PH: The Land of Falls and Radiance is full of cascades. Some are of water, all lucent, streaming, roaring, but others are of shadow and light. Some fall from too high to see, and some are falling below the ground. The ground shifts. There are ruins everywhere, and stairs that twist u? in mazes, going -- I'm not certain. There are a lot of canyons, of cliffs and walls, of little hidey holes and sudden
PH: dro?s in the ?ath.
PH: There are also a lot of rainbows. >:)
PH: And stars, and like -- sometimes this weird shining, which you'd think would be blinding, but isn't really. Oh! And there are these winged creatures all around. They look kind of like trolls, but smooshed with birds. There seem to be different kinds? I don't know. They're scared of me right now. >:\
AA: That s0unds nice
AA: I've 0nly f0und 0ne living creature here
PH: You? >;)
AA: He, maybe she, is rather...small. And frail. And I'm n0t really sure what it is.
AA: But it's cute and it likes t0 give hugs.
AA: -0-r maybe it's trying t0 break my neck.
AA: I'm n0t sure.
PH: Uh. Use your grubcam?
PH: Your com?uter does have one, doesn't it?
AA: Erm
AA: N0t sure, let me check
PH: Or whatever you're using.
AA: Yes, it d0es
AA: Right, it's 0n
AA: Can y0u see?
PH: Wow, Cymmy. Nice. You LOOK like the a?ocaly?se ha??ened, that's for sure.
AA: Haha, very funny
AA: Stuff happens when y0u're dead
PH: Being dead?an serious with that shit, Cym. It sure is a, uh, Look though. >:P
PH: I think it's just a lizard. I wouldn't let it get too close to your tongue. They're known for their attraction to tongues.
AA: I swear if y0u keep 0n saying that I'm lying...
AA: Wait what n0w?
PH: Oh no, not the dreaded ellipses of dread! Holy fuck! Don't swear on THEM. And, you know: Lizards. Certain breeds like to go for the tongue and suck out all its juices then ?lant worms in your throat. >:P Ez had a lizard lusus. Fucked u? shit ha??ens around lizards.
AA: I d0n't believe y0u
PH: Ahahahaahaha!
PH: And let that be a lesson, Cymmy.
PH: ...
AA: H0ld 0n
AA: I need t0 rem0ve it
PH: Uh, 'And let that be a lesson, Lizard.'
PH: D:<
AA: Right
AA: N0w that that's d0ne with
AA: What were we talking ab0ut?
PH: Hee. Hey, hey, Cymoth. Cyyyyymoth!
PH: I bet that was a malevolent entity.
AA: Yes?
AA: It was just a lizard
PH: You just totally envoyed the fuck out of it. Nice going, Li?less! >;)
PH: And ?sht. You never know when a small thing will be a big thing.
AA: Lipless?
PH: I honestly don't remember what we were talking about, but looks like I've got one of the big monsters to deal with! Weeeee, more Echeladder awesome for me! Later, Cym!
AA: Alright
AA: See y0u ar0und

PH: Two Scientists Who Always Thought They Might Be Best As Moirails If Anything, But Were Too Socially Awkward To Even Accom?lish Much In That Quadrant, Learn That The Im?erial Drones Are Coming Soon, After Dodging Them For Swee?s By Doing Research On Monkeys, Then The Male Greenblood Troll Doctor ?layed By Troll Tate Donovan Visits A Gy?sy Mutant Mustardblood Who Uses Her Disconcerting Love and Hatr

PH: ll Who Gets Their Hands On The ?otion, Followed By A Hilarious Mob Chase Scene, With Even Troll Co?s Loosening U?
PH: Vague advice isn't really very useful >:)
AA: Alright fine
AA: Kyarib
PH: KYARIB! REALLY!
PH: Huh!
AA: He's s0...angry
AA: It's ad0rable
PH: He IS ?retty cute. >:)
PH: Not very bright, but very cute. You like him because he's 'angry,' huh? How strange! >:O We've been ?als for swee?s, and 'angry' isn't really how I'd characterize *him*. Have you been tormenting him about the veracity of his piratehood? >:)
AA: -0-h n0t intenti0nally
AA: I simply made it kn0wn that I questi0ned his claims t0 being an amazing swimmer
AA: And n0w he endlessly asks me t0 delete the chat l0gs and never speak 0f them t0 any0ne
PH: Hee!!!!! When I was servering for Ezreki, he trolled me to say a rustblood might go around s?reading lies and slander, reviling his name, dragging it through the gutter only such lowblooded FILTH could reach.
AA: -0-h did he really?
AA: That's s0 cute
PH: MmmmmmHmmmmmm.
AA: -0-h my y0u d0n't think he hates me, d0 y0u?
PH: Wellllllllll, Cymoth. Shall I ?aint you a ?icture of the situation? >;) An enLIGHTening ?icture? With my most radiant truth-revealing ?en???
AA: -0-h g0 ahead
PH: ?retend that I am obsessed with being a ?irate. ?retend that I am far from any dream of water, that I have never seen it with my own two eyes. ?retend that I eat what I think a ?irate would eat, that I drink what I think a ?irate would drink, that I add salt to my water because surely ?irates occasionally drink saltwater, don't they? Swill on seatroll ?iss and lusus blood? Naturally! ?retend that
PH: I want nothing more, that my four-chambered cardiovascular system yearns, ?um?s true sea blue, for all that is the ?irate's life YO HO!
PH: Are you ?retending that, Cymmy?
AA: -0-h fine, yes
PH: Good! >:) Now ?retend that aloooooong comes a BIG, HULKING, CLUMSY BRUTE, a savage, unso?histicated, bully, who doesn't encourage my strange obsession, who calls me out on what I ?retend is true, because it's the only ?ractice I can get...
AA: I supp0se that's me y0u're insulting there
PH: ... a troll who can clearly see this thing that is so im?ortant for me, and chooses to ... Insinuate that what is im?ortant to me? Isn't mine. That I'm a fake, a fraud, a liar, that this obsession I cleave to with everything I am is actually something I know nothing about
PH: ... tell me, Cymmy. If you were me in that situation -- the ?retend one! -- would you think <3 <3 <3 OMG
AA: I'm n0t stupid, I w0uldn't think that
PH: Would you think <3< <3< <3<????
AA: Perhaps
AA: W0uld he n0t see that as a h0pelessly crude attempt at blackr0m?
AA: -0-ne 0bvi0usly n0t w0rthy 0f pr0per attenti0n
PH: 1.) How interesting. You think striking at the core of someone's self image -- an image they value -- isn't dastardly and villainous enough to set u? a rivalry? >:) I mean, that certainly shouldn't be the ENTIRE basis for a black rivalry, because that would just get tedious, it would have no staying ?ower!
PH: But it's ?retty cruel.
PH: 2.) This is Kyarib.
AA: Hrrrm
AA: But a small p0int
AA: I 0ffered t0 teach him t0 swim
AA: And while he denied n0t having kn0wledge 0f being able t0 swim
AA: He said yes t0 swimming less0ns
PH: Annnnd...?
AA: I'm n0t sure
PH: Let me ask you a question.
AA: -0-f c0urse
PH: If YOU were to feel your blood boiling to blackest ?itch, your heart ?um?ing wrathful, unrelenting hate, your thoughts wandering toward oneu?smanshi? and ?ain-giving and contest, would you not want to occasionally be around your black sweetheart?
PH: Would you not wish to interact, so that you might have more to brood u?on?
PH: And if you were an awkward, ?athetic sort of troll, would not a swimming lesson from someone who outted your secret and ri??ed a?art your delusions, delusions you still attem?t to maintain, be a ?erfect ?lace for such a thing?
AA: Hrrrrm
AA: I'm n0t quite sure if I feel any hatred f0r him, h0wever
AA: And what I want is red, n0t black
AA: What sh0uld I d0...
PH: Hee. Well, you know those quadrants are very volatile. Just because he's feeling black NOW... well, IF he is... doesn't mean he won't feel black later. I confess, I find the idea of hating Kyarib very foreign. I don't think it's the quadrant he first thought he'd fall into, either.
PH: He asked me to make him a "?inkish" shi?, back before the a?ocaly?se ha?/ened. I've been too distracted to work on it. >:(
AA: Awww
AA: I h0pe y0u have time
PH: Well. You're at something of a disadvantage, because Kyarib is ?retty dumb, and dumb trolls get an idea into their think?ans and then a kick from a hoofbeast wouldn't dislodge it.
PH: BUT!
PH: You have an advantage, in that Kyarib is ?retty dumb, in a cunning sort of way. >:) Try dressing u? as a ?irate. Sim?le, but ?robably effective.
AA: Y0u already did give me the eyepatch
AA: Well
AA: A reas0n t0 wear 0ne
PH: Of course, he miiiiiight take every encouraging thing you say as mockery, since you "know the truth," and a dee?ening of your black romance.
AA: He might
PH: Hee, Hee! It was my ?leasure. >;)
AA: ...
AA: Let's stay 0ff that t0pic f0r n0w
AA: I've been wanting a PLEASANT c0nversati0n f0r a while n0w, and as much as I l0athe t0 admit it, it's been fun talking t0 y0u like this
PH: Ahahaha. Romance is always fun to talk about. >:)
AA: Indeed
PH: You know, hel? him build a shi?. To sail in. Do you still sew?
AA: Yes
PH: ?irate shi?s need brutal flags. ?ersonally, I recommend a rainbow for the height of badassery, but then I'd have to thieve it from Kyarib, and I might actually feel a twinge of conscience if I were to thieve a love-flag from a would-be ?rivateer, so maybe work something out more suitable. Like a hook crossed with a ?arrot skull. >:)
PH: Of course, you know. Still ?lay the game. Kill im?s. Talk to your s?rite. Solve the myriad unfathomable riddles. Figure out your role.
PH: Do you know your role yet?
AA: In the few c0nversati0ns I've had with my sprite, that inf0rmati0n has bec0me kn0wn
AA: Y0u refer t0 the title, c0rrect?
PH: MmHmm! What'd you get stuck with? Scribe of Gloom?
AA: Haha
AA: Env0y 0f End
AA: Needlessly dramatic
AA: What did y0u get? Thief 0f Eyes?
PH: Needlessly dramatic? How is the drama inherent in that time needless????
AA: But the end is always the w0rst part 0f anything
PH: And, hee. No?e! I only ever took yours, you know. Well, and there was what'shisname's. I don't remember his name. But I didn't really thieve HIS eyes, either. He was ?erfectly willing to scoo? them out himself when given a bit of motivation! >:)
PH: I'm going to miss Alternia. >:(
AA: I'm n0t
AA: That's a place that needed an ending
PH: Why?
AA: Hrm
AA: Just
AA: L0wbl00d stuff
PH: Or was that official 'Envoy of End' s?eechificationing going on there? A sort of 'take my word for it, I s?eak for the End, I am the End S?eaker, I Messenger For the End, It Is Me' bs?
AA: Haha
PH: Blaargh. Lowblood stuff.
AA: N0, I haven't heard the v0ice 0f the Grand End itself
AA: I speak f0r n0 0ne but myself
PH: i.e., Boo Hoo, I Whine Therefore I Am, ?lease End My Misery? Fuck. >:( Maybe I should have devoted more time to culling.
AA: Ah, there's the Appel0f I remember
PH: I just think it's kind of boring.
AA: S0, h0w is it?
AA: I mean
AA: H0w H-0-RRIBLE is it being s0 high 0n the hem0spectrum?
AA: It must be endless t0rture
AA: G0d, having t0 live in the m0st luxuri0us h0mes?
AA: Having the strength t0 d0 what y0u want?
PH: Well, the main drawback is other trolls giving you mooneyes. >:P
AA: -0-h it must be terrible
AA: Y0u p00r thing
PH: 'Oh wow, your blood, it's so ?ur?le. ?lease bore us all by talking about it.'
AA: ssssssshhhhh
AA: N0 talking
AA: -0-nly c0mf0rt n0w
PH: Holy cra?, do you hear that???????
AA: Are y0u making a j0ke 0r is there actually s0mething t0 hear
AA: Because I've heard the "S0und 0f n0b0dy caring" and all 0f it's variati0ns
PH: Hee! Of course there's something to hear. It's either the crescendo of swee?ing music ?laying during our "comforting moment" with a chorus of eunuchs trilling 'Fuck you' in harmony?
AA: -0-h that's a new 0ne
AA: Brav0
PH: Or it's the sound of lil' Cymmy learning how to use her sarcasm wings. So very cute! >:)
AA: If 0ne listened cl0sely 0ne might hear their furi0us buzzing flaps 0ver the h0riz0n
PH: Well, I'm sure they'll get stronger the more you use them.
PH: They'll take you all the way to the Moons of -- oh. Have you sle?t yet?
AA: Yes
AA: Why?
PH: So you're Awake now?
AA: I assume fr0m the capitalizati0n that that's supp0sed t0 mean s0mething
PH: Hee! Yes, indeed. You are learning to ?ay attention to im?ortant clues! Things That Are Ca?italized Often Do Mean ?ortents And ?lot Relevant Hooha! >:)
PH: So you haven't gone flitting about the Moon?
AA: Ah, s0rry
AA: C0mputer tr0ubles
AA: N0, I have n0 kn0wledge 0f m00ns
AA: I assume y0u speak 0f a specific 0ne
PH: MmHmm. The moon that you're su??osed to Wake on. Your s?rite might have more information. It's very strange, if you've sle?t and didn't also wake!
AA: What's this m00n like then
AA: And why are we supp0sed t0 wake 0n it?
AA: Als0, my Sprite...av0ids me
PH: There are two moons. To go along with the whole battle between Light and Darkness for the seed of ins?iration thing. >:P But you should be slee?ing on one -- a myth for the ?eo?le of that Moon. Though if you are the Envoy of End, I su??ose it would make sense if they tried to kee? you aslee?. Unless they all want The End To Be Nigh. Which would be ?retty silly.
AA: Right
AA: S0 I have a d0uble s0mewhere 0ut in all that space?
PH: Oh! Understandable, I guess. The avoiding, that is. >:P I sort of wish my s?rite would try to avoid me. Instead he -- it -- is just ?retty cree?ily hel?ful.
AA: Really?
PH: Well, not a double -- it IS you, but like, another body I guess? I don't know if it goes and does stuff while you're awake here. >;)
PH: Really to which ?art?
AA: -0-h, t0 any
AA: I'm n0t sure why any0ne w0uld be afraid 0f me
AA: It's n0t as if I'm str0ng en0ugh t0 be danger0us
PH: Well, if you're heralding the End, that's kind of scary. Don't be disingenuous! >:) If I'd known and thought it might have hel?ed, I would've ri??ed out your heart and forced you to choke on it.
PH: Then again, the end times are kind of interesting, so eh.
AA: Well we d0n't kn0w what end I am meant t0 be the env0y 0f
AA: It might simply be the end 0f s0me malev0lent f0rce?
PH: Hee! ?retty o?timistic!
AA: Eh
AA: I'm pr0bably d00med t0 just be the End 0f happiness
AA: -0-r j0y
AA: -0-r r0mance
PH: 'Hello, Malevolent Force. I am Cymoth, and I have a stern letter for you. Your time is u?. Uh, also, I haven't been ?aid yet in game treasure, soo...'
AA: Haha
PH: Ahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahhahahaaha.
PH: 'I'm ?robably doomed to just be the end of ha??iness or joy or romance.' Did you really ty?e that? >:P To think, I thought your sense of dramatics was underdevelo?ed.
AA: My sense 0f depressi0n is unmatched
AA: I c0uld be apathetic at y0u s0 hard that y0u'd c0llapse int0 uncaring dust
AA: If I ever wanted t0 b0ther...
PH: Boo hoo, I'm one of the seven trolls who esca?ed the a?ocaly?se and I get to create something new, oh wait, scratch that, no boo hooing, that im?lies too dee? an attachment to what's ha??ening, maybe I'll just "meh."
AA: Haha
PH: >:) ?retty good, eh?
AA: Y0u are quite...inspiring
AA: In an aggravating s0rt 0f way
PH: I'm a res?onsible troll. >;)
AA: Hrm
AA: Y0u've g0tten t0 y0ur land, c0rrect?
PH: MmHm!
AA: D0 y0u mind telling me what it's like?
AA: I've desired a g00d chitchat 0n the nature 0f 0ur vari0us realms f0r a bit n0w
PH: Sure!
AA: First 0ff, what's the title 0f the land y0u g0t saddled with? The sprite menti0ned the name 0f mine. "Steel and F0lly."
PH: Steel and Folly? Ooo, sounds like it would be full of Troll James Bondian Factories full of fire and brimstone and acid vats and tra?s!
PH: Mine is 'of Falls and Radiance.'
AA: Huh
AA: The Land 0f Steel and F0lly is n0thing s0 interesting
AA: Just an endless inh0spitable desert full 0f c0llapsing, r0tting buildings
PH: The Land of Falls and Radiance is full of cascades. Some are of water, all lucent, streaming, roaring, but others are of shadow and light. Some fall from too high to see, and some are falling below the ground. The ground shifts. There are ruins everywhere, and stairs that twist u? in mazes, going -- I'm not certain. There are a lot of canyons, of cliffs and walls, of little hidey holes and sudden
PH: dro?s in the ?ath.
PH: There are also a lot of rainbows. >:)
PH: And stars, and like -- sometimes this weird shining, which you'd think would be blinding, but isn't really. Oh! And there are these winged creatures all around. They look kind of like trolls, but smooshed with birds. There seem to be different kinds? I don't know. They're scared of me right now. >:\
AA: That s0unds nice
AA: I've 0nly f0und 0ne living creature here
PH: You? >;)
AA: He, maybe she, is rather...small. And frail. And I'm n0t really sure what it is.
AA: But it's cute and it likes t0 give hugs.
AA: -0-r maybe it's trying t0 break my neck.
AA: I'm n0t sure.
PH: Uh. Use your grubcam?
PH: Your com?uter does have one, doesn't it?
AA: Erm
AA: N0t sure, let me check
PH: Or whatever you're using.
AA: Yes, it d0es
AA: Right, it's 0n
AA: Can y0u see?
PH: Wow, Cymmy. Nice. You LOOK like the a?ocaly?se ha??ened, that's for sure.
AA: Haha, very funny
AA: Stuff happens when y0u're dead
PH: Being dead?an serious with that shit, Cym. It sure is a, uh, Look though. >:P
PH: I think it's just a lizard. I wouldn't let it get too close to your tongue. They're known for their attraction to tongues.
AA: I swear if y0u keep 0n saying that I'm lying...
AA: Wait what n0w?
PH: Oh no, not the dreaded ellipses of dread! Holy fuck! Don't swear on THEM. And, you know: Lizards. Certain breeds like to go for the tongue and suck out all its juices then ?lant worms in your throat. >:P Ez had a lizard lusus. Fucked u? shit ha??ens around lizards.
AA: I d0n't believe y0u
PH: Ahahahaahaha!
PH: And let that be a lesson, Cymmy.
PH: ...
AA: H0ld 0n
AA: I need t0 rem0ve it
PH: Uh, 'And let that be a lesson, Lizard.'
PH: D:<
AA: Right
AA: N0w that that's d0ne with
AA: What were we talking ab0ut?
PH: Hee. Hey, hey, Cymoth. Cyyyyymoth!
PH: I bet that was a malevolent entity.
AA: Yes?
AA: It was just a lizard
PH: You just totally envoyed the fuck out of it. Nice going, Li?less! >;)
PH: And ?sht. You never know when a small thing will be a big thing.
AA: Lipless?
PH: I honestly don't remember what we were talking about, but looks like I've got one of the big monsters to deal with! Weeeee, more Echeladder awesome for me! Later, Cym!
AA: Alright
AA: See y0u ar0und
