[TIME FOR AN ENTIRELY TOO LONG MULTI-CHARACTER POST.

seasides is in the kitchen... what a boring guy. with things set up kind of how they used to be, and people once again relying on the kitchens, he's made his way to the main one to cook up some stuff to stash away in the fridge and freezer for others!

fading is not amused. he's trapped in a cage in a section of hallway made of white sand and marble. the cage isn't very big, which has him stuck sitting, and looking rather grumpy. there's no visible lock on it.

skybright is currently pushing herself in a training room, magic drained and looking half ready to collapse where she stands. there's a first aid kit sitting on a bench nearby, several bottles (elixirs, mostly) sitting empty next to it.

ghastlydawn hasn't been seen much, but she has been around. super disappointed with the change in the DR still - she grew up in the open world version, after all - she's been exploring to keep herself from lingering on her thoughts and getting even more homesick than she already is.

before is... pinned to a wall with several familiar knives. he doesn't look more than a little beat up, and mostly amused! he's got no idea why a Larxene attacked him, only to do barely anything aside from pin him there, but he can't move his hand enough to pull any of the knives out, and he doesn't want to rip his jacket. oh well.

islandflower is sitting in an outdoor room, a simple-looking field with several slightly battered targets some distance away, taking a break from practicing magic. the door is open and she's well in sight, but she's rather distracted reading.

fromshadow has found something that looks like it's fresh out of Halloween Town. it's a gloomy, mist-covered room, the door opening to a large clearing amidst spindly frost-coated trees. the clearing is filled with row upon row of gravestones, but each and every one of them marks an empty grave, the spaces all cleanly dug out but not even holding a coffin. he's standing just inside the doorway, too wary to actually go and check it all out.

conflagrate, who I totally didn't forget about, is in one of the closets. this particular one seems to hold clothing for both male and female, and she's just sort of absently browsing the men's button-down shirts at the moment. for some reason, all her clothing has gone and vanished from her room-house-thing, so she's rebuilding her wardrobe.]

In the time of your ancestors, I suppose?

[That probably means something entirely different to both of them.]

I guess so.

[it's not like he even knows who his parents are, nevermind further back (aside from his grandfather). and yes, it's probably waaaaay different.]

You're a very simple race.

We could be seen that way, yeah. Though I don't really know anything about yours, so I can't really compare.

Maybe I should tell you about us. Explicate the details exactly. But you might not absorb everything with your human understanding.

That almost sounded insulting.

[but he just seems amused.]

Praxis. It's nothing personal.

[Not that she's about to apologize for it.]

[he's tempted to comment on her use of 'x' words. they're not eXactly commonplace, so going out of one's way to use them kind of sticks out.]

It's fine.

[Oh, he should. She knows.]

What do you know about us?

Not a whole lot, honestly. A bit about the... romance thing? Quadrants? But other than that...

With all the triumphs and biological superiority unique to our race, you only know about our quadrants?

[that startles a laugh out of him. dang, are all trolls so full of themselves?]

I'd never even heard of your race before Halloween.

[More or less. It gets worse as you go up the spectrum.]

Right. But why that? Did he tell you? The one that calls himself Red?

No, he didn't. My Riku told me a bit, but it wasn't much.

Right. The human clone with my memories. Is that all she told you? Romance?

[She sounds very amused by this.]

No, she told me a bit more than that, but that's all I recall at the moment.

[The amusement keeps up for a moment, then she frowns, leaning back.]

She was explaining what happened during "Halloween", wasn't she?

Yeah, she was.

[with the whole.

thing.

with the-

yeah.]

I wanted to explain that, but I never saw you again. He's fickle. I think if I hadn't jumped in he would have gotten himself killed again by flirting with your Riku.

[She shrugs.]

Even if we have a more advanced system for romance, it's not normally put on display.

That's probably because she hates the non-troll version, and not in any sort of romantic way.

I figured that out. Too bad that's a turn-on.

I don't even want to think about that.

[he drags a hand over his face. ew.]

[She smirks and leans back in her chair.]

Is your version that bad?

Well, for one thing, where you and your Hachibi are both trolls, the non-troll version isn't human. He's a demon that's sealed inside my Axel.

...really.

[She seems disappointed, but only because that sounds boring to her.]

Axel and Hachibi confined to the same body?
