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]

[devwocean]

Is that your opinion?

[devotional]

More like an assertion of fact.

[devwocean]

I don't think so.

[devotional]

This is no longer Alternia.
Purrlease do not act as if it is.

Vatheon is diffurent.
Can't you set your angrrr and purrejudices aside?

[devwocean]

The Signless' Disciple, I'm guessin.
I'm discovvering the differences, here.
But just because this has happened, due to your corruption an fantasies, doesn't mean it's right nor that I'll approvve of it.

[devotional]

You've guessed correctly.
This purrlace does not need your appurroval, and by the same token, you are not owed its appurroval either.
Howefur, I beseech you...
Purrlease leave our conflicts from Alternia behind you, at least fur now.
Can we not live as equals, if even fur a short while?

[devwocean]

You could just as wwell ask us to livve as hoofbeasts, if for a short wwhile.
It wwouldn't givve us hoovves.

[devotional]

Purrhaps, but I would expect you to at least have a modicum of reason.
What good will it do to continue as we have here, in a compurrletely new world with endless possibilities?
Please, Dualscar. Have you even considered it?

[devwocean]

You are all the mad ones!
Wwhat wwe do not need right noww is to throww awway evverything wwhich made our race strong and powwerful and great.
There are wwhat, a feww dozen of us, many of wwhom are not evven of breeding age?
And apparently wwe are the last of our kind.
Wwe don't knoww wwhy wwe are here, nor wwhat wwill happen to us.
Monsters attack the city regularly, yet there is no standing army.
Havve YOU considered wwhat is at stake here?
I havve not offered vviolence to anyone, though I'm bein treated like a potentially feral animal at best an a fool at wworst.
Don't tell me to consider things like I am nothin but a child wwho needs to be guided.

[devotional]

Furgive me, I did not mean to make assumptions.
It is because of those factors that I feel we should stand united, as equals.
Together we can weather any storm this purrlace throws at us...
Though, frankly, it is a lovely place on the whole.

[devwocean]

Wwhat's so lovvely about it?

[devotional]

Efurything.

[devwocean]

Doubtful.

[devotional]

How can you hope to comment on something you haven't efur experienced? I would think you would be fond of this place, being a seadweller.

[devwocean]

I can comment based on the things I'vve been told already by those who'vve been here longer.
An wwhile I must admit the surroundins are vvaguely pleasin, I'm givven to understand there are sea monster attacks, an curses.
So your statement a it bein' completely lovvely is just plain exaggeration.

[devotional]

You may think so, but this purrlace has given me much to be happy for.
Fur that, it is lovely.

[devwocean]

Isn't that wwonderful for you.

[devotional]

It could do the same fur you, if you let it.

[devwocean]

Howw can you all be so evverfuckin optimistic all the time after all you'vve suffered?

[devotional]

It is all a matter of faith and unshakable belief in what is right, I suppaws.

[devwocean]

Fantasy an foolishness, you mean.
