[ There's a very distressed young troll on the phones today, talking quickly and nervously. ]

Umm... I have something to tell efurryone! It's been bothering me a lot lately, and... I think it's time to be purrfectly honest!

[ The cat puns drop for a moment and she speaks almost in a whisper, tone deeply ashamed: ]

I'm a communist.I'm not really

[misterwwizard]

Nep what the fuckin' hell are you on about?

[tacklepounce]

[ There's a moment of hesitation here, because -- even if it was a while ago -- Equius did tell her to steer clear of Eridan. Still, for some reason, she can't put the phone down for long. ]

It doesn't seem right to keep secrets from my friends...

[ :(( ]

[misterwwizard]

[A chance to be the hero for Nep and be the shoulder to cry on? Eridan's all about that. Even if he only has his own interests in mind.]

Well if you're flounderin' about worryin' yourself all up over secrets you can fuckin' tell me. I mean the ocean's pretty fuckin' good at hidin' things so by default I'm pretty fuckin' good at it too.

[tacklepounce]

I guess it's mostly the communist thing... and some dumb romance stuff.

[divine_ace]

...What's wrong with a pail?

[tacklepounce]

[ blushing bright green over here ]

Umm, I guess I forgot humans think of it diffurently, or that the process is diffurent-- I guess it makes more sense fur trolls.

[divine_ace]

--Oh! You're not human? Are you an alien?

[tacklepounce]

Hehe, I guess so! I'm a troll. Purrhaps you've met some of us?

[tapshoetomove]

That's all right, we all have to come clean about this communism thing. Uh, whatever it is.

[tacklepounce]

Are you one too? I never knew I was, but now that I realized it, I can't believe I kept it a secret fur so long!

[tapshoetomove]

I never knew I was one either! It feels great to finally admit it!

[tacklepounce]

Yeah! I don't think we have them on Alternia, so maybe I just never realized beclaws I never got to meet anyone else who's one!

[mothersome]

[ Pretend I have an icon of Kanaya worried. Because she is Very Worried. ]

Nepeta, please calm down. It's okay to falsely believe in ideologies you do not understand as long as you remember that you truly do not believe them at all later.

[tacklepounce]

[ Nepeta just stays generally upset. ]

Umm... I think you're right! But it's all really confusing right now.

[mothersome]

You're right, this whole situation vexes me with all the sudden announcements of one's most personal and embarrassing information and whatnot. There's no good in dishonesty but there's a difference between exercising deceit and tact.

[tacklepounce]

Is it working on you as well? You're not a communist too, are you?

[worstvikingever]

I still don't get what was so wrong with you buying that bucket of paint.

[tacklepounce]

It's... kind of embarrassing to talk about! I don't know why I said that.

[worstvikingever]

From what I've been hearing... and saying... or something... anyway, I guess there's something in the air or something that's making us all tell our secrets and stuff.

[tacklepounce]

It does smell funny... but I don't feel any diffurent.
