Chapter 6; Video

[[The feed opens with...a rather irritated looking troll, who looks oddly familiar in her lavender squiddle tee. She remains quiet and takes a sip from whatever warm drink is in her hand, while in the background a jumble of excited babbling can be heard from what sounds like John. After a few more moments of that, the troll on screen fans out the

[video] despite the fact that she's in the villa, too. honestly, these kids...

[eclecticals]

[This is Jade, who is still very much human; she's wearing a spiffy new outfit and looking pretty happy about it.]

Oh, wow! Both of you are trolls? That must be really weird!

And... [At this point she begins to speak a bit more quietly-- this next part is directed to Rose. That doesn't mean John can't overhear it, of course.] Please try to make sure my brother doesn't do anything too stupid. [See this, Rose? This is a PLEADING LOOK.]

[video] what is speaking in person?

[howiehorns]

Weird, but awesome.

[Yeah, he's pretty satisfied with this curse. Also he totally missed that last part.]

What about you Jade? It...kind of looks like you went God Tier or something.

[video] a foreign concept, that's what.

[eclecticals]

I did! I think. I am not really sure what I can do yet, though...

[video] one day they'll learn how to do it.

[howiehorns]

Space powers, right? Hm...I wonder if you can like move stuff around or something. Oooo maybe you can make black holes! You should definitely go try and see what you can do, though!

[Seriously, you should have been trying like...10 minutes ago. What are you doing standing around talking to him and NOT using your powers?]

[video]

[mauvesympathy]

It's Vatheon.

[Just. This face. This face and a simple answer.]

[video]

[howiehorns]

...Soul?

[Sounds like Soul. Kinda looks like Soul. It's probably Soul.]

[video]

[mauvesympathy]

Yeah, hi.

[/facehoof
Second time he's gotten that reaction, goddamn.]

[video]

[howiehorns]

Hehe, you got turned into a pony too? Cool! How's that going for you so far?

[video] I'll be a bit slow to respond.

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya stares at the video feed for a few moments before clicking to respond.]

Rose, you don't look like I had expected you to look. Somehow seatroll never even occurred to me.

[What does occur to her is that she just revealed that she'd contemplated the results of this curse before.]

N-not that I thought about it too much before. It looks good. And you are both well, other than John doing whatever it is he just ran off to do, right?

Video; That's alright! <3

[grimhorns]

...like you had expected? You had expectations for what I would look like as a troll?

[[How interesting.]]

Thank you, however. We are indeed, yes. How are you fairing, Kanaya?

Video; Yay~

[meddlefussyfang]

[Blinking, realizing what she slipped, and slightly embarrassed now.]

Well, Yes. If you remember I was first aware of the---oh wait no you don't. Um. You put up a FAQ for sGrub on a remote server at some point, and it was accessible to me during our game. So my first impression of you was from reading that, and I hadn't yet considered that you would be of a different species. And I spent some time thinking about what sort of person the writer must have been. That's all.

[So awkward.]

That's good to hear. I'm well enough so far. I'm a little surprised in that I thought humans were rather... weaker than trolls, overall, but I haven't experienced any such disparity.

Eridan, that's not nice. It's not like any of us had a choice in the matter of what we turned into. Plus, it's only temporary so chill your gills.

[And speaking of no choice in changing...]

Also, why the text? Come on, I want to see what you turned into!

[howiehorns]

Okay, well if you don't want to show me then can you at least tell me?

[You're no fun, Eridan.]
