017 ♐ Audio: Huff and puff. Or maybe more stomp and snort.

[musclebeast]

[There's a kind of mechanical whining on the feed when it opens at first, as if from a smaller machine, a higher pitch whir and him which eventually silences, only to be replaced by a few taps and once again more whining. After a few moments there's a sound similar to a sigh though- seems to border on the more frustrated end. An adjustment- perhaps to the mic, and the small mechanical sound seems to have drawn closer to what's being spoken into, or visa versa.]

I'm finding it to be exceptionally distasteful- the lack of culture here at times. The lack of something with tradition and true exceptional craft. I admit though, that I've been aloof to the the network lately, so maybe I haven't noticed some kind of creative stirring in this usually excremental pool of iniquitous and sassy degenerates.

[A pause, more mechanical whining, a breath.]

So I guess I'll give it a chance- though some I am aware of, minimal, so extremely so- of a few examples- but those who I'm not aware of- those that harbor some kind of artistic worth in this jambled mess of space and time riff raffs and stolen hoi polloi. To you I command to make known to me what types of artistic sway you or your worlds have. Preferably something held with extensive regard.

And don't start anything, let's keep this professional. I don't want to be made angry.

[musclebeast]

D --> Dirk
D --> Ignore his meddling

[uncops]

He's a friend of yours, I assume.

[musclebeast]

D --> No
D --> Unless by that you mean my enemy, my rival
D --> Then yes
D --> And it's my advice you discontinue any contact with that code diving brat

[uncops]

Wait.
Code diving?

[musclebeast]

D --> Sollu%'s interests lie mostly with husktop software
D --> Like your associate, Ro%y
D --> The two were moirails for a brief period

[uncops]

You're serious.
That's news to me.
I'm happy for her.
Assuming your rivalry isn't telling of a shitty personality on his part, she deserved someone good to her.

[musclebeast]

D --> They seemed to get along well
D --> Which I'd hope, you need to be completely compatible with all your quadrants, especially your moirail, they're e%tremely important
D --> Though it was interesting seeing a human obey the laws of quadrants as she did
D --> For the best, our romance is much more fulfilling

[uncops]

I'm not so sure about that.
Seems a bit difficult to maintain, and probably prone to human jealousy.

[musclebeast]

D --> Trolls can e%perience jealousy just as easily
D --> But that doesn't quite make sense, one quadrant being jealous of another is ridiculous, the emotions linked to each are incredibly different

[uncops]

Yes, but does any one quadrant rank higher than another?
If not, what if it were to happen regardless?
That's when you get those overdramatic Spanish soap operas, and those were never any good.

[musclebeast]

D --> No
D --> And that shouldn't ever happen
D --> If it does, it's because that troll is poor at managing his relationships and should be culled
D --> All of them have a purpose and rank highest in that purpose
D --> A troll can't be e%pected to release all his pity and hatred in the same place
D --> And who he is with shouldn't be e%pected to deal with all of it
D --> We're very complicated

[uncops]

So I see.
I'm not sure how much more I want to know about these quadrants.

[Cause he can barely handle just the one humans deal with.]

As fascinating as the cultural exchange may be.

[musclebeast]

D --> It's e%tremely fascinating
D --> But I respect your right as a lesser form of life to realize this is above you

[uncops]

I'm not sure whether I should feel insulted or humbled or even if those two emotions need to be mutually exclusive in the first place.

[musclebeast]

D --> Humbled, of course

[uncops]

Hah, I'll take your word for it. In the meantime, I'll be headed over soon to see your goods.
