♓ 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.

She'll never be ignored, Signless, you know this. Especially with followers here. They'll feed into it and she'll merely reach out to gain attention again. Whether that be by continuing this fake bullshit or by resorting to her familiar sadistic tendencies we all so well know.

What she wants to so make us think otherwise, make us believe that she truly does not care about this place. LIES. I will NOT BE SILENCED.

[Can't be tamed.]

And what is your long-term plan, then? What do you propose we do, in the face of this adversity?

[rebull]

I will dedicate my life to making sure nothing happens.

You would give up everything for that? Aradia, Darkleer, Psii, myself?

You're almost as devoted as the Grand Highblood, if that's the case.

[His gaze narrows, but that's his only physical reaction besides speech.]

My devotion to this cause stems from my love of all of you. This is my life, this is my purpose, I had already accepted it before I ever came here and had merely hoped I could keep it behind me until I returned.

I am fine with never seeing any of you again if it means your safety. I am fine with death if it means my friends and loved ones will remain alive.

[Raises his chin slightly.]

I would take my own lance to my chest if it meant I could succeed in this goal.

[That... is really touching, actually. Signless thinks it's a bit misguided, but still touching.]

Then I pray it never comes to that, my friend.

Do not waste your prayers on me, Signless. Use your time to think of the others.

[withoutasign]

There's always time to pray for you along with them, Summoner.

So bit it, if that is your wish, Signless. [Stone facing at you now, man.]

[withoutasign]

It is.

[Warm, understanding grinning at you now, man.]

I'll come see you when I'm in the bubble.

[rebull]

I would prefer if you didn't.

[withoutasign]

That never stopped me before.

[He really doesn't have much of a response to that. Just a stern glance.]

It should.

[withoutasign]

But it doesn't.

Foolish.

[withoutasign]

That's what everyone says.

You would do well to take it to heart in certain situations, prophet.

I have no intention of getting myself culled, Summoner. There are too many souls, both troll and human, who need me here.

Video; filtered

[rebull]

It pleases me to hear that.

[withoutasign]

The same applies to you, you know. There are many here who would be heartbroken if anything were to happen to you.

[rebull]

Heart broken, maybe so. But alive is what I am concerned with. Alive and living, not just surviving.

Death isn't permanent, Summoner. Not here, and not back on our world either.

[Stare. No response.]

[withoutasign]

[Stare right back.]

[rebull]

Stop it.
