[This is one clever little newcomer who has quickly figured out the system. Well, the SFC system at least. He adjusts it slightly so he is looking straight into the camera. He is very obviously New Here. Mostly on account of being slightly wet and covered in towel.]

So. Yeah. Hey. I'm sure you get this all the time but I'm new here.

[pause, mumble]

Wow, that sounds like it is some kind of support group. "hi everybody, I'm the Once-ler and I'm stuck in a fishbowl."

Anyway, I was reading the pamphlets-- Great stuff really, very informative. I uh, think there were a few typos. And you might wanna hire a new illustrator, cause yikes, but really, thanks. It helped a lot. Wouldn't wanna be stuck in a kooky underwater magic fish bowl without some information, am I right? Haha.

[S i l e n c e.]

Anyway, I just got one question...

What is up with these towels?

[And he goes back to drying himself off again, muttering a little under his breath.]

Wow, a thneed would work so much better for this.

Oh, so now there are scientists involved too. Do you have any evidence for that?

D --> Of course
D --> I could send you the files
D --> Enlighten some of your ignorance and disbelief

I'll have you know I have an appropriate level of scepticism and disbelief for the situation at hand. Unless you just believe everything some dude texting in a weird colour tells you.

[If you do, he has something to sell you.]

D --> I am only telling you what anyone else could
D --> Including those who wrote that pamphlet

D --> Also
D --> Blue is hardly a strange color
D --> Do they not have such a shade on your homeworld?

Blue? What is this... bluueee you speak of?

But seriously, it isn´t just the blue. It´s the blue and the font and that... What is that in front even... Is that like the worst sad emoticon ever?

D --> How could it be an emoticon?
D --> There isn't a face
D --> You are not particularly bright, are you?

D --> The color represents my blood
D --> The bow and arrow are a part of my quirk
D --> All trolls have their own unique quirk
D --> And while we are not the majority
D --> (which you should be incredibly thankful for)
D --> We are common and talkative enough that you will run into us fairly often

Well, the D would be the mouth. It is a sad mouth, obviously. The -- would be the eyes. They are not lined up. (That's why it is the worst emoticon) And the > Wait. Oh, I get it now. This is mess with the new guy, isn't it? Well, go one then, sir troll. Tell me about your bridge and stuff. That's what you guys do, right? Sit under bridges and stuff.

D --> Different troll

[And very briefly, there's video. Hi, Once-ler. Darkleer will just be staring down impassively at you, glasses in the way of his eyes. But the horns and grey skin and pointed ears and the sharp teeth when he talks... Those are visible.]

We are Alternian-born.

[And then he snaps back to text because not in the mood for using his voice.]

[all my girly screams, oh my.]

You're... grey.

D --> I hadn't noticed

At least you don't have a moustache. Haha... ha... Forget I said that. So. You're a troll. That's... really something.

D --> While we are on the subject matter
D --> If you see a troll that is extraordinarily tall
D --> With enormous hands and claws
D --> Spiraling horns
D --> Facepaint
D --> Indigo eyes
D --> And a disgusting unwashed tangled mass of hair that no doubt has the remains of small animals inside of it
D --> You should avoid him
D --> He is the most likely to kill or maim you

Okay. Got it. Troll with face paint, not good.

D --> The large troll with facepaint
D --> The small one is relatively harmless

There's two of them? Wait, when you say small, how small is small? Like... Barbaloot small or am I completely in the wrong ballpark here?

D --> Yes
D --> There is also another troll who uses my way of typing
D --> And looks similar to me
D --> That would be my descendent Equius Zahhak
D --> There are also two seadwelling trolls who look alike (save for their facial scars)
D --> And two olive-blooded trolls with horns similar to the ears of a cat

D --> There were others to match their descendents but they are gone now
D --> Thus they are of no consequence in this discussion

D --> Gamzee however is simply a little over six feet high
D --> The Highblood is more near eight

That is not small. A foot is small. Maybe a foot and a half. Six feet is not small.

D --> Hmm
D --> Maybe it is because I am taller than him then

Dare I even ask how tall you are?

D --> Over seven feet
D --> Most seem fairly short to me, particularly here
D --> Besides six feet is smaller than eight

Yeah, most people don't really get up to that height. I mean, I'm pretty big and all. But I'm only, what, six something?

D --> Most humans
D --> Trolls are quite varied
D --> If it reassures your fragile state of mind
D --> Then our former heiress is considerably shorter by a good few feet

Wow. I hope you are not the PR troll here or something, cause you need a little work there, buddy.
