[ Private to Lust ]

I'm going to take you up on the offer. Just kick us out when you can't stand our presence, but I can't even fucking walk straight half of the time because of these damn growing pains.

So I guess yeah. Just thanks.

[ /end ]

When John wakes up, I am going to thank him for those earplugs. Do you know how fucking peaceful it was riding the train this time around? Maybe that's because a certain someone wasn't trying to start shit every time he batted an eyelash. He's your problem now, Megido.

Now. If I get one more fucking thing that has a Krabby on it, I swear that I will gouge the senders eyes out with my Alakazam's ( or really Vriska's, I guess ) spoons. Yes, haha. I'm a Cancer. Haha, Krabby and crabs. Yes, we all get the goddamn joke. However, let's take a moment to really examine that.

[ Karkat kind of eases the camera over to his Crawdaunt. ]

THIS is probably closer to what my Lusus looks like. He wasn't some scuttling little beast.

Moving on...

How the fuck do you raise a blind Pokémon? He just keeps biting at everything!

[Looks like a Crawdaunt...hmmmmmmm. Jake quickly sketches something before switching on the video feed.]

Something like this, you mean?

[Say hi to a quick sketch of crabdad, Karkat.]

[ pause. such a long pause... ]

Nix the long tail there and... Yeah. That's pretty fucking spot on.

[hoperaider]

Oh, then I know what you're talking about!

[Yay he's happy about this!]

I didn't know trolls had creatures like these guys.

[usedshooshpap]

Mine was kind of unique for... Reasons, but yeah. We don't have parents, Jake.

Those creatures are the ones that raise us. They become sympathetic towards us due to scent while we're still grubs.

[hoperaider]

Yes, I think Aradia touched on the concept of parenthood being somewhat foreign.

[Thinking...thinking...aha!]

Oh, then that must be why they don't take to humans very well! Or, at least, some of them don't seem to mind me all that much.

[Video]

[usedshooshpap]

It's not just foreign. The thought is terrifying. Adults don't exist on the planet. Trolls in their adulthood stage are fucking scary and you would never want to cross one.

[ sage nodding here. ]

It wouldn't surprise me? My Lusus might, but only because humans have the same blood color I do. Some beasts are friendly. Others would rather eat you for dinner.

[hoperaider]

Really? ...Well, with someone like the Condesce, I suppose that shouldn't be surprising.

Ah...yes, I have to deal with those seagoats sometimes and they get pretty nasty. The fairy bulls are friendly enough, and the centaurs don't mind me as long as I stay out of their way. The cats are a 50/50 chance depending on their moods.

[usedshooshpap]

Yeah... Um. Do me a favor. If you ever talk to Gamzee, do not bring the sea goats up, okay? That's a very, very sensitive subject.

Now, given that I believe Tavros' Lusus was a bull, I shouldn't say that I am surprised they are overly friendly. If I remember right, Centaurs are kind of special for bluebloods like Equius.

[hoperaider]

Right, lips are sealed on that.

[Hm, he's seeing a pattern here.]

Goodness, it's starting to look like my island houses the same creatures your planet had! What about dragons? There's one that usually flies above it...which was how I became unconscious in the first place.

If what Dirk Strider told me is true, then the Empress had been slowly bringing them over.

And yes. Dragons. Terezi's Lusus was an unhatched dragon.
