Hold your brightly colored horses, mun.
A little excitement doesn't mean you should go off without a plan.
We've both got work to do before you can introduce me properly to a certain spunky pegasus.
It will have the same emotional impact then as now, so there's no reason to rush the inevitable.
By the way? This doesn't really count as a plan.
I'm only going along with it because you could use more practice.

And yeah, I know. You can't get enough of my ink.
It's pretty sweet, but you'd get more mileage out of iconning that shit instead of just staring.
Just a suggestion.

Dirk, meet Equia

[strong_female]

D --> I rather enjoy watching those small muscle beasts.

[dirkinmypocket]

Tell me, are you swept away by the magic?
It's well written for a show of its kind and is an interesting look at culture.

[...Yeah, he loves the whole show unironically, but admitting that is hard.]

[strong_female]

D --> I just enjoyed the feminine muscle beasts
D --> Although I will admit it has e%pert writers in comparison to even some troll programs

[dirkinmypocket]

So, unless our wires are crossed, you just really like ponies.
I can see the appeal.
Friendship is Magic has ponies by the score.

[strong_female]

D --> That w001d be the sum of it, yes
D --> Also I find this conversation interesting
D --> You are one of the first humans I have had an e%tended conversation with.

[dirkinmypocket]

You're not the first non-human I've spoken with, but the last ones weren't very forthcoming.
Are you proposing a cultural exchange or some shit?

[strong_female]

D --> I suppose that may be interesting

[Though of course trolls were the best.]

D --> However I believe you have met at least one of my kind here

[dirkinmypocket]

Yeah, but the jury's still out on that one.
Why don't we get this show on the road and start with the exchange.

[Which is his way of admitting that the other one made him a little uncomfortable.]

[strong_female]

D --> Very well
D --> Then I suppose the first item I should mention is that your class in troll society is based on b100d color
D --> Although I am aware that in the case of humans your b100d is all the same.
D --> It is also common to use one's b100d color as one's font color.
D --> Only one ruffian I know of breaks this rule.

[dirkinmypocket]

So, you're saying that you're blue.
Unironically.
Well isn't that amusing as hell.

And yeah, you're right about humans having the same blood color.
It doesn't mean we don't have class, but that's determined by wealth and political power.
Of course, usually the two are pretty much synonymous.

[strong_female]

D --> Correct

D --> Oh I see
D --> Humans are interesting, I thought you didn't have a class system at all in place when I learned about your lack of blood differences.

[dirkinmypocket]

I'm pretty sure nowhere in the universe is safe from social stratification based on one attribute or another.
Yours is just more colorful than most.

[strong_female]

D --> I suppose not
D --> Is there anything you wish to share about your culture before I continue?

[dirkinmypocket]

Nah, I'm good for now.
Let's get this show on the road, lady blue.
What else can you pull up from the depths about your culture?

[strong_female]

D --> Well where humans only have one romantic relationship trolls have four
D --> Although only two of those are required for the reproductive process

[dirkinmypocket]

I think I'll have to step in right there and argue that point.
We only have one label, but it doesn't do the magnitude of relationships it contains justice.
Then again, I've never been a believer in labels.
The people involved will know what it truly is and screw anyone who doesn't understand.

[strong_female]

D --> Oh I see
D --> Still my mundane assures me that there is at least one relationship you humans do not have out of the four quadrants.

[dirkinmypocket]

I'm not all that surprised that there are differences.
I was just pointing out the fallacy of assuming one label meant one type.

[strong_female]

D --> Okay
D --> Well the one that my mundane assure me you do not have is a kismesis.
D --> Which is someone who is your hated rival.
D --> But also one of your two lovers in troll society.

[dirkinmypocket]

In the movies you could argue that hate-sex is sometimes a thing.
But yeah, a relationship out of that just wouldn't fly.
You've got me there.

[strong_female]

D --> I see
D --> And then the one you most definitely have is a matesprit.
D --> A relationship founded on companionship.

[dirkinmypocket]

Companionship is a good way to describe a lot of human relationships, but I get what you're going for there.
Yeah, we've definitely got that one.

[dirkinmypocket]

Your powers to turn any comment into flirtation continue to astound, Lalonde.
But we'll leave that metaphor aside, because what went down, exactly?

[unavoidabubbly]

i am the hottest biatch that ever wass
u know my mad skillz & madrigogs

frigglish was sassacrushjed
im soooooooo stupidd
he wus just stting there

[dirkinmypocket]

I'm fully aware of your many and varied talents.
I expect nothing less than the highest echelons of scientific skill from you.
But I will admit that some of your other skills do take me by surprise from time to time.

And, by sassacrushed you mean that book of Jane's?
Let me guess, you were trying to prove your abilities in the face of her continued skepticism.
My condolences on your loss, but it was probably meant to happen, considering how that process usually works.
He lived a good life, and I know he loved you with his every cell.

[And goddamn he's awful at this comforting thing and he knows it, but he's trying.]

[unavoidabubbly]

3:

i cud use a hug
rnt u could give me 1 when we meet up in the sesion

[dirkinmypocket]

The day you fail to keep me on my toes is the day I start to really worry.

If I could transportalize myself there and give you one now, I would.
Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until we've both entered the game for this comfort-giving scenario to go down.
But it will happen; I wouldn't leave you in the lurch.

[unavoidabubbly]

[dirkinmypocket]

That's right. We're just a BFF quadrangle.
And I could be better, but I could be worse.
I'm just going with that flow. Planning and adapting.
