[ Someone clears their throat. ]

Hello? I understand this should let people hear what I’m saying. I hope I’m doing it right, I’ve never used one of these before.

Well, in any case, I was told I aught to introduce myself, and I wouldn’t want to be rude. My name is Daine. I just… arrived in this city this morning. Some friends of mine have been able

I Havent Really Attempted Seeking Employment At This Point
Ive Mostly Been Making As Effective A Use Of The Stipend As Possible So Far
But What Sort Of Things Do You Enjoy Doing

Daylight Hours
I Particularly Enjoy The Sun
Beyond That I Have No PreferenceKanaya Maryam

Perhaps Yes
Though Come To Think Of It My Friends Want Me To Go To This Prom Event
So There Will Apparently Be Some Preparation Involved
Especially If I Expect To Have Them Arrive In Suitable Outfits

Some Gathering Of Other Adolescents To The Best Of My Knowledge
Mentions Of Dancing And Formal Ensembles Have Been Made
Which Was Enough For My Friends To Convince Me To Attend

[just_daine]

you enjoy that sort of thing? i think i would feel rather out of place at a formal event with lots of people like that.

[tastesrainbows]

I Much Enjoy The Assembly And Design Of Such Outfits
And There May Be Someone There I Wouldnt Mind Dancing With
Though I Imagine It Could Be Overwhelming Without Friends Present

We Were Somewhat Isolated When I Was A Child
So Unless I Wanted To Fight Through Hordes Of Undead And Make The Three Day Journey Through The Desert
I Had To Learn If I Ever Wanted Any Clothes
My Mother Was Always More Interested In Burrowing And Had Trouble Fitting In The Hive Anyway

[just_daine]

if its not too rude of me to ask, what manner of creature are you? before you were rather like a vampire bat. ive never heard of a thing that grew up in hives but burrowed as an adult. or anything that grew up in a hive and could speak common, for that matter.

Oh Well Im An Alternian Troll
Or I Was Before Arriving Here As Now I Appear To Be Human
My Mother Wasnt My Biological Ancestor But Instead She Lusus Who Chose Me Upon Birth
Though Mother Grubs Like Her Were Vital In Our Species Reproduction

[just_daine]

so a lusus is a mother grub who helps your species reproduce?

text;

[tastesrainbows]

Not Exactly
It Was A Mother Grub That Elected To Be My Lusus
But Thats Not A Very Common Thing To Happen At All Actually
A Lusus Is Simply A Caretaker Who Chooses Us While Were Still Wigglers
Theyre Responsible For Our Upbringing Until We Reach Maturity
But Can Consist Of A Variety Of Species And Each Species Often Gravitates To Wigglers Of A Certain Blood Color

[just_daine]

ah, i think i understand. so alternian trolls have a lot of different colors of blood?
