Sollux, I know you and the bird lady are still sleeping but you need to know! There are so many pails, just sitting here for everyone to see. It's appalling!
And a few days ago,
[Her voice drops to a whisper.]
I saw an imperial drone.
What are we going to do?
We're all going to get culled if we don't find flushed and caliginous pairings in
!audio,

[Real smooth there Makoto. That wasn't nervous and awkward at all.]
I'm Makoto.
[She drops her own voice a little.]
What's a drone?

[Oh God. What did that woman put in her ear!? Makoto claps a hand to the side of her head.]
That sounds bad. What do they look like? The drones?

But it's not bad if you have both pairings! It's only if you're perhaps missing a pairing that the imperial drone will cull you.

[Come on Kevas, if you're any kind of troll, you must know about troll romance.]
We're all going to get culled.

...what? Shit, really? Where did you see it?
*Oh, fuck, after everything else there's this?! He doesn't even know if it'd work with non-trolls and he certainly doesn't hate or like Nepeta in that way!*

I thought perhaps it was a carpenter droid. But then it tried to shoot me.

Okay, try to calm down, we can deal with this. Was there just one? Maybe we can find somewhere to hide.
*Those mutant cross would make good body guards. Sollux wonders if the hole is still open.*

[Except... Hiding somewhere... With Sollux... And all those pails. BLUH! GROSS!]

CULLED?
[Does it ever END? She realized she was transmitting audio again, but is too upset to write at the moment.]
What are these pairings? Were there notes for this too?!

[Only the ones Karkitty wrote... The bird-lady won't know who Karkitty is.]
Not here.
The pairings are kismesissitude and matespritship. Um. Bitter rivalry and mating fondness. You have to have both or you get culled when the imperial drone finds you.
[Sollux should possibly have told her this. Oh well!]

[She might be a well traveled bard, aware of a number of cultures and could speak several languages, but she was having a bit of an issue figuring this out.]
You will be killed because you don't have a mate?! and a Rival? And this drone is here? Is it an arranged thing?
Reply
[Hence the problem, bird-lady! Pay attention!]
Arranged?
