Hello?? Eridan, are you there? Or anyone, really! I think Trollian is broken! My husktop has been acting fishy since I woke up, and it looks weird. Anyway if you're out there, I need to talk to you! I didn't think we were starting this soon, and I might have enjoyed the courtesy of a warning! It's fantastic so far though, and the AI is super realistic! What are we supposed to be doing again?

Please feel free to use my troll text permissions post liberally, and I can have her use voice and video only! You can also ask her ICly to drop the quirk, color and puns. Feferi is wandering around so let me know if you would prefer action tagging! ]]

D --> It is simply my duty as your engineer
D --> I wish I had been quicker in the matter concerning Dualscar

[privatejack]

[p2iioniicii2t]

2iir?
II do not under2tand.

D --> He attempted to commission you for common household chores
D --> You
D --> The Helmsman of the Battleship Condescension
D --> The psionic responsible for powering and running an entire first class starship
D --> Reduced to doing drone's work
D --> I doubt he has cared to inform you of this
D --> But you will not have to do such trivial things
D --> I am constructing a robotic companion for him which will do what he needs it to do

[p2iioniicii2t]

That you con2tructed a replacement ii2 undoubtedly iideal.
II had liittle confiidence iin my abiiliity two perform properly a2 a dome2tiic 2lave.

D --> A seadweller such as himself has undoubtedly relied on drones to get most of his work done
D --> It is quite problematic for the rest of us
D --> In all honesty

D --> If he does anything that distresses you
D --> Inform me immediately
D --> You have permission to engage your psionics if the situation is truly in need of them
D --> His blood may outrank mine
D --> But in terms of keeping your wellbeing in perfect working order for our Condesce
D --> My priorities outrank his
D --> I will not have a technologically incompetent seadweller coming in and making a mess of things

[Darkleer isn't quite sure why the thought of Dualscar meddling with the Helmsman gets him so worked up. But the idea of him forcing him to do laundry or sit at his heels or the various other things he knows arrogant seadwellers do with their slaves...]

[It gnaws at the back of his mind and makes him want to grit his teeth. It's not normal; he doesn't get quite like this even with his inventions. The only thing that remotely compares is his bowkind, which he allows no one to touch but him.]

[privatejack] i swear i don't mean to go on thread tangents like this

[p2iioniicii2t]

What kiind of dii2tre22 ii2 a level valiid for your con2iideratiion?

you know what i'm not even sorry

[aim_exorable]

D --> Any

i know, oh i know

[p2iioniicii2t]

IIt ii2 not that II object 2o much a2



II do not liike iit when he touche2 my horn2 iin front of other2.
IIt ii2 not my place two criitiiciize, however.

[ Or at all, really. ]

[aim_exorable]

D --> He touched your horns

[p2iioniicii2t]

II beliieve iit two be a habiit two reward obediience.
IIt ii2 dii2tre22iing two have an actiion liike that wiitne22ed by other2.

[There is a momentary pause as Darkleer goes to take some scrap metal and promptly digs his fingers into it. The material bends easily for him, and he hisses between his teeth.]

[The other two, younger inhabitants of the hive may notice a small scrunched up ball being accidentally left behind in the living room, which Dural frets over. Darkleer? He'll be in the backyard. For once, his room feels too constricting.]

D --> He's attempting to needlessly establish dominance over you
D --> The cur

all of this is still private whoops;

[p2iioniicii2t]

II do not mean two challenge hii2 authoriity, hiighblood.
II promii2e you that.

gosh, voyeurs peeping on our pale shenanigans!

[aim_exorable]

D --> I am not blaming you for anything Helmsman
D --> Do not worry
D --> This is that arrogant seatroll's fault and his alone
D --> Tell him that a touch to that area is forbidden
D --> Engineer's orders
