Attention citizens.

You havve made the stupendous mistake of kidnappin one Commander Orphaner Dualscar, destroyer a wworlds an' scourge a the stars.

In light a your obvvious ignorance, and the admittedly pleasant surroundins, I'll be generous. You havve half an hour to explain wwhere I am, howw I got here, and wwhy, and to showw me the exit. It's the ocean, I can make my owwn wway from there.

I'm wwaiting. Don't fuckin disappoint me.

One last wwarnin: I'm not a vvery patient troll.

[OOC: I'm happy to do action tags/prose in the comments, too. Anyone who wants to run into him in person can find him wandering the main thoroughfare around the Lamufao, using his starfish phone thingy to monitor the network]

D --> The Signless
D --> Please
D --> I follow the path of the Archeradicators
D --> Who are loyal to the Empire first
D --> And their commanding officer second
D --> As you are neither of those things, I owe you nothing

[Never mind that the Archeradicators currently consist of Darkleer and... Darkleer.]

[devwocean]

I am the Empire here, obvviously.
Since I'm a fuckin fleet commander, an in blood I am second only to Her Imperial Condescension, an the only sea dwweller here wwho can make that claim, and She is not here.
Wwhich makes me the fuckin Empire as far as you're concerned.

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> No, it doesn't
D --> You're some fleet captain who keeps to the seas
D --> You're in competition with the Archeradicators
D --> There's only one adult troll I swear allegiance to
D --> And you're not him

[devwocean]

And wwho is it, then?

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> If he wants to tell you who he is, he will
D --> Until then, I'll keep his confidence

[devwocean]

It's all right, I knoww noww.
Evveryone's pointless incivvility is so fuckin aggravvating.

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> For the record, you weren't e%actly civil when you got on the network and started making demands
D --> So it's kind of ironic that you're complaining about everyone else's lack of civility now

[devwocean]

Wwhat wwasn't civvil about wwhat I said?
Firstly I wwas directin my comments at the citizens a this city, not at you or any a the other kidnapped trolls.
As should be self-evvident if you actually bother to read wwhat I said.
Secondly, there's nothin uncivvil about askin questions particularly considerin the situation I find myself in.

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> You were barking orders and acting like we were all members of your ship's crew
D --> It's like it never occurred to you that we might have other allegiances

[devwocean]

Seems to me you're bein ovverly sensitivve, wwhelp.

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> Seems to me like you're rude and overbearing, just like your descendant

[devwocean]

Then he's not as infected by all a you rebels as I feared.

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> I'm hardly a rebel
D --> I've never even spoken to the Signless
D --> My loyalties are to Darkleer

[And Gamzee, and Karkat, but he sees no reason to get into that.]

[devwocean]

And Vvantas?

[stayb100ponyboy]

D --> My connection to Vantas is none of your concern

[devwocean]

I disagree.
But your refusal tells me wwhat I need to knoww.
