Hello.
I appear to be stranded on an unknown planet with alien lifeforms.
If I could have the name of this place along with further information on its inhabitants and its relation to the Alternian Empire, that would be most helpful.
Thank you.[It's best

Also slightly worrying. People hide their color for a reason.]
I request that you keep your vulgarities to yourself.
I have no reason to give you my name, especially considering you have not given me yours.
For the information, at least, I thank you.
[A shame the effect of a snort is rather lost in text. Oh well.]

However, I am under no obligation to cooperate with such a crass example of a troll, Karkat Vantas.
My name is of no consequce as it is anyway.

I see.
Thank you for the information, Highblood.
I will make certain to remember it.
[Even if he understood, like, a small bit of it. But that's almost normal with indigos.]

Really, the little device is fascinating. It's hardly a particularly advanced piece of work; in fact, he even finds a few flaws in it that would cause it to turn on and off sporadically without its owner (aka him) even noticing if he hadn't decided to fiddle with it now. It helps him relax, which he certainly needs after exchanging words with others on its network. He's just in the process of putting it back together again when...
That title.
Darkleer promptly goes stiff, and his fingers clench his tool tightly. Fortunately, it's been modified to withstand his strength- one of the few things that can.]
...Executor no longer.
[His movements are slow and hesitant as he stands up, matching her height if not more quite easily. As he turns around, he feels his vascular system twist about quite painfully. Ah.
He knows who this is.
It does not make his feelings any easier to decipher.

I apologize; I was unsure as to how to properly address you.

I imagine the proper term would be 'Expatriate' now.
I... did not expect to see you in this place given your.. punishment.

D--> No one knows where it is in relation to Alternia
D--> Uh
D--> If you're from Alternia, I'm going to assume you're a troll
D--> We're the minority here
D--> Everyone will think you're the alien
D--> Just fair warning

That is a view which is completely understandable.
[Give him a moment, Equius. He is kind of staring enviously down at such blue text. If only he could be as open... Wait.]
I realize that this may be a strange question to ask of a stranger
But why do you use the quirk you have just displayed?
Reply
D--> Because it's my quirk
D--> Why else
[Sorry, bro... you're getting Dense!Equius this morning.]

As far as I am aware, that quirk is in use by another troll already.
It is very unusual for another troll to use it.

[This city is still so very strange to Siegfried, as he's hardly been in it a few hours. Armor, however, is one of the first familiar things he's seen in the city, or at least, he would have thought it to be familiar. It catches his eye, certainly. Then, as he inclines his head politely, he takes a proper look at Darkleer, as well. And it's a bit hard to be polite when facing someone who would be considered a monster in your world. He is unable to restrain a soft gasp.]
...What are you?

This armor is indeed mine, as it carries my mark. As for what I am? I am a troll, of Alternia. I would think it obvious, but I can only suppose that the Condesce has not greeted your planet yet.
[Fortunate little creature.]

[He relaxes somewhat; for all that this man calls himself a troll, he doesn't quite match the prince's idea of one, and he doesn't seem hostile. Siegfried might only have his one reaction to blame for any coldness he receives. Still, his tone remains wary for other reasons. It is important for him to fathom any information he can find in this place.]
What... planet do I have? [He isn't familiar with more modern concepts of the cosmos, he thinks in terms of "worlds," without much thought to their position.] And is this Condesce who brought me here? Does she mean to harm my people?
[Or his princess, most importantly. He himself comes last on the list.]
Reply
[And then set her immensely powerful fleet onto them when all is said and done. Darkleer does not mention that.]
I do not know what has brought me here. It does not seem to be the work of the Condesce, so I assume it is not her actions which have lead me to be in this place.
I have attempted to look for answers- [He gestures to the SFC.] -yet I have only found some.
