You take the cup and quietly think over what he said. A bard? A bard didn't sound so...harmful? But Gog,Void sounded like the definition of destruction,thinking back to Devone.
"If you're not the bard,then who are you?" you also ponder quietly on whether you should wait for him to be distracted in order to strike him down or just activate your Strife Specibus now and have it over with.
You were going to have a panic attack if there was anymore touching involved.

[aL]: I MEAAAN! I'D LIKE TO HAAAVE MY MOIRAAAIL BAAACK! BUT THAAAT DOESN'T MAAATTER! I'M FINE WITH STAAAYING AAALONE!
[nB]: I'm really sorry for your loss!!!
[nB]: But that shouldn't stop you from moving forward!!!!
[nB]: It's better to have trolls cheer you up instead of moping around in shadows!!!
[nB]: For the sake of your deceased moirail,keep fighting!!! Make the new universe a better place,make them proud!!!

You listen intently,playing close attention to the details. You soon come to realize you shouldn't destroy the darkness. The candles were enslaved,or at least that's what you understood. They needed the void,they said. You refused the idea of void ever being helpful,considering it's influence on you but.... Hm...

You think for a second. What was your problem? Oh yes, emotions. That's it.

Wispy presses up against you, and you stroke her silky fur. Gordon perches on the ground next to your feet. It's nice being surrounded by your animal friends. It feels like you are back at your hive before the world ended. You close your eyes and imagine yourself there.

iF: the. rude. one. who. lets. others. die. BECAUSE. THEY. ARE. ANNOYING.
iF: i'm. annoyed. by. you. but. i'm. not. blocking. you.

It's not your fault! They're just mean! You repeat these things over and over again to your crowbar. Your crowbar is the only one who listens to your problems. It always understands.

"Well, I'm not much other than a troll who likezz muzzic, but I guezz I do kind of have a 'zztory.' Before Devone, I had another moirail, Parxux. Zzhe zzomehow zznuck her way into the game, but we kinda made up a while ago."
You scratch the back of your head nervously before continuing.
"I may or may not have a slight fear of the dark, which zzoundzz totally crazzy, yeah."
Wow, this might be your first time admitting that, you don't think you've ever told anyone that. You were nocturnal and everything, but the dark just made you want to curl up and cry for some reason. That was probably the main reason you didn't sleep, especially after you pushed Parxux away.

You force yourself to smile, showing off your large fangs.

As you wander, your hand suddenly brushes against something familiar. Oh, your hive window! Maybe you could finally get a clue as to what your planet wants you to do exactly. You find your way to the front door and slide right on in.

Pifrim Xaneez, at her hive. Tags - Emprin

You stare at Emprin, wasting time. The room is slowly getting hotter, even though you're pretty far beneath the ground. You fidget with your clothes before you realize what she's doing.

Speaking of the game and hosting makes you think again. You had not hosted anyone which meant you had not saved anyone which meant by extension you killed someone. But maybe if there were some trolls still alive down on Alternia you could fix that? You stare down at your husktop pensively and begin to scroll through the tags, searching for ones you do not recognize.

[iN]: just go lok at something else.

You don't exactly want to be seen right now, not even by yourself. Purrg's amusement tended to correspond exactly with your humiliation. You pull out your mirror and hiss violently. It's...um...it's...manageable. You can uh...you can work with this you're sure. Oh who were you kidding, your hair was absolutely ruined! Half singed off and the rest sticking up in static-y clumps; no wonder your luscus had laughed. "okay i get it the universe hats me. im a horible trol. can we be done now?" Whatever cosmic being that is hellbent on your destruction doesn't answer so you just jam your fedora violently over your head and mope, all thoughts of quests and productivity forgotten

Emprin Dediso| Tagging- Pifrim | Location- her hive

Your fingers are just about to brush up against the light when your husktop rings and you abandon your apparent quest of self destruction in favor of your only friend.

[cQ]: When uuu put it that waaa touching it could be a bad ideeea.
[cQ]: But it could also beee the best ideeea tooo, whooo nos?

You listen to your friend anyways and start hunting around for something good to poke with. You grab the blanket off your luscus's bed and drag it over to the light. You take a deep sniff of it (it smells like moss and buzzy things) before tossing it over the glowing orb. The room flashes brightly before going back to normal, your blanket now floating a few inches above the ground like some sort of ghost. "Uh hiii? Miii naaam's Emprin hooo ar uuu?" The ghosty thing turns towards you but says nothing. Okay... Well you aren't about to give up. "Ar uuu a gost? Were uuu somwon i new?" It shakes its head but at least it's listening now.

[cQ]: Iii think Iii hav a new friend?

You push your headband out of your vision and almost squeal at the mess in front of you. There were dried red splotches everywhere, and you could only assume those came from your lusus earlier. You inch towards the bookcase you had always pushed aside and plucked a book out. A giant slash ran across it diagonally, one you're pretty sure matches the one on your outfit. You slowly open it up to stare at the pages. Red ink seems to practically crawl across the pages, somehow familiar. You have no idea who wrote it, but you do know that it certainly wasn't you. You prop yourself up against the side of the bookcase and decide to indulge a bit, or at least as much as you can. It'll just take a while for you to get used to reading it instead of feeling or hearing it.

Pifrim Xaneez, at her hive. Tags - Emprin, Rowwen

You finally get yourself together. You're supposed to be cool and collected, level-headed and intelligent. There's no use wasting time, slowly getting closer and closer to your doom. Throughout the chambers of your tunnels, muffled rumbling echoes through the walls.

I blew any dust off of the disk, before inserting it into my husktop, and switching back to Trollian, wondering who to talk to next, while I waited for the disk to download.

No matter what the universe throws at you you'll always be better than this guy. Such a thought makes you feel much better and you cock your new hat more confidently. Let people paint you as a bad guy, who cared? You most certainly did not! You get the sudden urge to write something about that but you hold off, Arados is probably still watching you all stalker-y like. Instead you decide to doing some stalking of your own and pull up your SGrub window, watching Cervie wriggle around their hive at a zoom level that makes it so you can imagine the red marks to be something other than blood. You grab a book from the shelf and drop it on your freind's head. Didn't you have something else you were supposed to be doing? Something important; like questing? Nah.

You skip over the parts about ascending tiers because apparently you already told yourself that, thanks to those bubbles. You pick a note off of a page scribbled in what you assume is your own handwriting. It says something about not giving up, but you're quite sure you never wrote that. Why would you feel like giving up anyway? What would you give up on? You crumple it up and toss it in a nearby trashcan, barely hitting the rim. This planet was so confusing.
You set your book aside once you hear your husktop ringing, and open it up to respond. Look who finally came crawling back!
