Do any of you guys ever get homesick? I mean, I haven't been too homesick, [that's a huge lie--she misses everyone back home more than she can say] but I can't imagine it's easy for the majority of us.

...unless your home was shitty, I guess.

Sounds like a boring purpose to me, and not an enjoyable one to boot. Why would anyone want their purpose to be fighting for these guys?

[caligulas_aquarium]

'Cause some of us--

[Eh.]

There's that human mentality again. For your information for trolls wwar is fun. Wwe revvel in that kinda shit. Glory a' battle an all that. Wwe're practically raised for it from the vvery start of our livves.

Ain't nothin' borin' about it.

[skirtcladgunner]

[This time, she does correct him, though in slight bitterness--] Elemental.

And what kind of glory is there in battle if you're forced into it? You're not getting anything out of it. These assholes are using us, or did you not get the memo?

[caligulas_aquarium]

I'm gettin' plenty outta bein' here an' it ain't none a' your business wwhat that happens to be, so don't act like you knoww.

[And then the inevitable;]

Wwhat's an Elemental.

[skirtcladgunner]

Whatever. If you like being a pawn to these assholes, that's your business.

[...]

We're people with control over a specific element. Humans don't have the kind of power we do. [...it feels alien, that "we." It wasn't long ago that she thought she was human as well.] Back home, whether it's because we were blessed with magic by a goddess or a mutation is up to individual interpretation~

[caligulas_aquarium]

So if it wweren't for that, you'd be human, right?

[skirtcladgunner]

I think so, but where I'm from it's enough of a difference for the two to be in separate categories.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah, that's a load a' load of shit if you ask me. You look like one an' you sure as hell think like one, so I don't get the deal here.

Evven the lowwer rungs a' troll society, for howw useless they are an' wwhatevver powwers they got, are still considered trolls.

The fact you guys go around makin' such a big deal outta nothin' baffles me.

[Because there is obviously a difference between troll discrimination and human discrimination and the former is superior and not wrong in any way!! spoilers no there isn't]

[skirtcladgunner]

Or you're just arrogant~ one of the two. If I can't act like I know what you get out of fighting for these guys, then you can't act like you know how the differences between elementals and humans work either. Blaring hypocrisy like that makes you look like an idiot, you know~

[...]

Besides, while I said that the origin of our powers is up to interpretation, I'm one of the few who knows the truth. [Unfortunately.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

I don't care.

As far as I'm concerned you're human.

[skirtcladgunner]

And as far as I'm concerned, you're being obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious. Do you make it a habit of talking to people just so you can be contrary~?

[Except she's a brat, too.]

Besides, even if I were human, there wouldn't be anything wrong with it. Shitty behavior is an individual thing, not a matter of race.

[caligulas_aquarium]

I didn't say it wwas. If anythin' I got more human friends than I evver did troll friends, so I'vve nothin' against 'em.

[Loosely though; he still thinks they are inferior but for now he'll play along for the sake of keeping his relationships intact.]

I just don't see the big deal about it is all, an' I ain't rememberin' all this categorical shit wwhen I can just think that's another human but wwith powwers an' get on wwith it.

[skirtcladgunner]

Right, right. Sorry. You just do that, troll boy. More power to you, I'm not going to actually get angry over it! ...just tease you a little.

[If she were actually angry, he'd probably know--if anything, right now she's just fucking with him like the brat she is.]

Though I have to know--do you ever talk to your human friends about their sentimentality? I'm curious~

[caligulas_aquarium]

No, it's nevver come up.

Wwhy?

[skirtcladgunner]

Like I said before, I'm curious. Would you say the same to them if it came up?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Obvviously.

[Though he would be sentimental regarding one of them, the rest aren't exactly irreplaceable in his eyes.]

[skirtcladgunner]

Oh, I see. Guess you come down heavy even with your friends, don't you?

[Brushes some of her hair over her shoulder.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

It's called bein' honest; I just call it howw it is. If they can't handle it, it's their problem.

Kind of a thing trolls do all the time, really. Wwe don't really consider the wwhole dancin' around sensitivve subjects thing.

[skirtcladgunner]

There's a difference between being honest and being too harsh, you know!

...really, now? What other things do you trolls do?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah, an' if they find it harsh they can go find themselvves someone else to hang out wwith.

[...]

You're pretty much askin' me to list a lotta shit, you sure you wwanna knoww.

[skirtcladgunner]

Hahaha! You really do cut out the shit, don't you?

Well I am still curious, so why wouldn't I want to know?
