♓ Video ♑ (color coded so you know who is who)

[haircestor]

[The video feed flickers on to show a lovely adult troll, tyrian colored eyes matching her tyrian painted lips. Thick black hair down to the ground that seems to wrap around her figure. She, all together, looks rather bored, like this is some tedious effort she doesn't want to deal with.]

Hello, Vatheon.

[A smile touches her features, one much softer than most would expect! Less condescending than her title implies.]

I feel now is a good time to introduce my presence and-

[She turns her head away from the video for a moment, something obviously caught her attention. The video becomes shaky as she walks quickly.]

Grand Highblood?

[The video doesn't turn from its original position, but a low rumbling voice can be heard offscreen:]

Well, my lady. Didn't think I would be all motherfucking finding you here so quick-like and shit.

You s)(ould )(ave more to say for yourself t)(an t)(at.

[haircestor]

[Condescension leans against the GIANT known as The Grand Highblood, an amused look on her face as she moves so he is in view as well.]

Oh! Hello again!

Video;

[rebull]

First of all. [A sly look. He's already gotten out a lot of his freaking out, and is now sitting in what looks to be a tree, very very high up. Summoner leans forward a little, tilting his head back, face stern and lips pursed. Yeah, calmer, but the fury in him is still bubbling up in him.]

[But, he smirks, a sinister smirk, eyes half lidded.]

Because I'd rather address the clown bastard before the old hag; Nice chucklefuck. Nice. A drooling dog on a chain till the end. 'Grand Highblood,' what a splendid title you get for serving someone like a good little troll. Religion making you as delusional as ever I see.

[A shrug, face going stern again.]

And then you, my shriveled sea scum guzzling seedflap. When are you going to just fall apart already? Too bad you had to show your tyrannical fish face here to do it. Why don't you just drop though.

Drop off the face of whatever celestial orb we're currently planted on.

[For someone who just slept for a week, Signless looks remarkably tired.]

Say whatever you like to them, Summoner, but please, be more respectful of his religion when you're talking to Gamzee.

Video;

[grandhighblood]

[Just sort of peers into the screen from a little distance away, since he's being addressed first here and all. He sort of wipes at his mouth, grinning, even though he knows he's not being literal about that shit (he doesn't drool, thank you very much!). Then narrows his eyes, getting a better look at this troll...that he's never actually seen before--]

And you finally motherfucking show yourself, shit-blooded rebel. [The insults are just kind of rolling off of him for now.]

[haircestor]

Hm. I'd prefer not to! Hehe! But who knows!


[And on that day not a single fuck was given!]

[Dad.

Dad. I know you're mad at me but look at this face.]

Please be careful.

voice; private

[aim_exorable]

[Yes, he knew that she was here. Yes, he has been trying to prepare as best he can. But Darkleer is still terrified when he sees her on the network, hears her voice. Even with his time in Vatheon, even with what he did to earn the title 'Expatriate', every fiber in Darkleer's being is saying Get on your knees for your Empress and repent, filth.]

[Some trolls have their own take on religion, the subjugglators being the most notable example. Darkleer never has. Until his exile, his every act had been for that terrifying, all encompassing thing the Empire, and for the seemingly even more distant and frightening figure that was the Empress.]

[But when he sees Summoner on the network- of course he would react to this, brilliant fool that he is- Darkleer forces himself to speak, voice tense but still doing its best to keep any emotion out.]

Lysunder. Please. Be careful.

[devwocean]

You can at least be CIVVIL!

[Video]

[heartandsoul]

[...So GHB interrupted and all but hey, it's a troll she's never seen before and this looks like a pretty important one. But maybe a psycho since highblood adults seem to be like that. Although she does look like Feferi.]

Hello, ma'am.

[Video]

[haircestor]

[A pristine brow raises out of amusement.]

Hello!

[0_0]

So, you are her?

[Just... :|]

Hm.

WE CAN HANDLE THIS, KARKAT.
REMEMBER HOW TERRIBLE THE GRAND HIGHBLOOD SEEMED WHEN HE WAS HERE AT FIRST?
AND WE TOOK CARE OF THAT BY WORKING TOGETHER.
WE CAN DO THIS.
DON'T WORRY.

vid - either or both can tag.

[faithqueen]

[Minnie was going to say something but. Linefaces as best she can at the language used.] Excuse me, I do not mean to be rude, but would you please watch your language?

[grandhighblood]

[Perplexed look....what is up...with all these mice bitches all telling him what to say?!?!?!]

Heh heh, no. It's all how I motherfucking talk, just as natural as breathing in the wicked H2O.

Hi!

_{[Potential danger? What danger? CAN'T BE TAMED.]}

[ex_fintastic398]

Don't bereef anyfin s)(e says!

In Action. NO I AM NOT SORRY.

[knightime]

[What, you think he stays in his house all day wasting his life away?

That was V-day man. He's out and about. Got his camera around his neck, and snapping photos once in awhile. He honestly knew GHB was around, but he knew next to nothing about the Condesce.

Which is why when he accidentally backs into her, he doesn't think about it much.] Fuck, sorr- [Turning around. What...] -y...

FUCKIN FINALLY GOT TO THIS SUGARCHEEKS

[haircestor]

[The condesce lets out a soft startled noise before looking at the pink creature that bumped into her. She puts on another one of her smiles that she is afraid is going to freeze on her face if she keeps doing it, oh god her cheeks are starting to hurt!]

It's alright! Might want to pay better attention next time!

[invoker]

[Mitsuru tilts her head ever so slightly, she's met a few of the trolls but this one just seems of an entirely different class.]

I assume you are new.

[haircestor]

You could say that, yes. I assume you are not?

video;

[withoutasign]

[The video feed shows Signless, looking very calm and serene. His hood is down, his bright red eyes on full display, and when he reaches up to brush some hair out of his eyes, his wrists are unbandaged, the ugly scars standing out against his gray skin.]

Condesce. Grand Highblood.

[Perfectly calm, neutral, and unafraid. Yeah, that's right... here's the heretic mutant rebel you had hunted down, tortured, and killed, and he's not afraid to look you in the eye or address you by name.]

video;

[haircestor]

[Condesce gives nothing she actually feels away as the idiot shows his ugly face!]

Hello, Signless. It's been a long time.

[A pause.]

Despite me thinking I already know the answer to what I'm going to say, I'm going to say it anyway- I'm sorry for all that happened to you. What I have done to you and your comrades! The injustice and suffering you had to go through. Words may not mean much, but they are worth saying!

[Did she really just say that to the mutant blooded rat bastard? Yep she sure did.]

[haircestor]

Hello! [She giggles at him, waving.] I'm well! It's a shame no one believes me but that won't discourage me! I did many horrible things and I should expect no different reception.

How are you?

[video]

[fighting4afuture]

[Trunks tilts his head as he looks at the screen. Yup, that's definitely a very interesting looking...alien? He doesn't know for certain.]

You don't seem very enthused about being here, really.

[video]

[haircestor]

I prefer it much to where I came from, I simply have been here for a while! Do you enjoy it here?

Video;

[closedcircuit]

Welcome to Vatheon, as I presume you're new.

[Also, she hasn't actually introduced herself, but that doesn't stop Ky from doing so.]

I'm Ky Kiske, and I hope that you find your stay here...bearable.

Video;

[haircestor]

Thank you! And not quite, I've been here for a while, this is my first time communicating though.

It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm the Empress to Alternia, my homeworld.

[She smiles pleasantly, she's getting better at this.]

I hope I will too! Hehe!

[video] Here have some non troll CR :D

[chosen_gigolo]

[Well the big one is scary beyond all reason, but the one with all the hair is fairly attractive in an exotic way. Zelos can think of quite a bit of fun that can be had with that much hair, and he has been curious about alien anatomy-

It's really been way too long, geeze.

He forces himself to think logically, reading what he can of others' responses to the Condesce's post. He gathers she's regarded as a despot, a tyrant to their race, but a penitent one. He's aware his read on people is always incredibly thrown off by the SFC - he can get a much better handle in person - but his own experience gives him pause when regarding the tyrian Troll's claims of reform.

He was given a second chance to do right by his friends, why shouldn't she be given a chance to do right by her people?

He puts on his best smile and noble manners and opens a message.]

Good day, Your highness~♥ Welcome to our little bubble under the sea.

[Video] Casually bad touches all over the place omg

[haircestor]

[Man, Condesce is always dtf with her strange alien junk, boy you don't even gotta worry, shoot.

She's aware almost immediately he's been doing some snooping or he wouldn't have known she is royalty. It makes her smile. This one is rather charming, pleasantly so, it's a large difference from how she's been treated by everyone aside from her subjugglator, Dualscar and Psiioniic.]

Well thank you! It is rather quaint, isn't it? I adore the atmosphere here! [Giggles!]

accidental video;

[bestestfurrend]

[So when Feferi tells her to take a look at the Network, she can hardly believe that the Empress really is there. Their luck can't possibly be that bad, can it?

But...oh...that is most certainly definitely for sure her, not to mention the Grand Highblood, and Nepeta doesn't even realize it but her fingers slip on the device, sending out a brief video of the shocked look on her face.]

[haircestor]

Hmm, is everything okay little one?

[video]

[hexywitch]

[Have an extremely wary Lily, testing the waters.]

You must be Feferi's ancestor, then. My name is Lily. Welcome to Vatheon.

[video]

[haircestor]

That is correct. Pleasure to meet you and thank you.

[She's sort of warn out from this.]

[Video]

[the_demonmaid]

[That. Was. IT. The Demoness clicked on the video, her mouth set in a snarl as this time? She accidentally almost flooded the screen with light]

Get. Out.

[Video]

[grandhighblood]

[Just staring at the video. He barely squints, quite fascinated by this one. He still wants to know if she'll stop long enough for him to be able to catch a glimpse of her eyes. Or something. Anything that would give her color away!]

[text]

[aim_exorable]

[At least things have been settled with Summoner, and Equius... hopefully he will understand, hopefully he will be able to let Gamzee know. Because while he does not know the specifics of how this conversation will go, he knows that he is prepared to say a great many unpleasant things in order to make this convincing.]

[And that's why he won't make this private. He wants the others to know what he's doing. Maybe they won't understand, but... he's prepared for those kind of consequences. So Darkleer takes a deep breath and simply types out his response.]

D --> Empress
D --> I apologize
D --> While I have seen you mention that you no longer wish to be treated as royalty
D --> I woefully have no other title with which to address you by
D --> If there is anything I could assist you with
D --> Anything at all
D --> Then I would be more than happy to do so
D --> I doubt you would remember one as insignificant as myself
D --> and am unsure if the Grand Highblood has mentioned my being here
D --> But I am the Expatriate Darkleer
