witchesreign | [BBS] Beware Bored Striders

I got the abilities of my other half for a while... the ones I lost when I got myself merged. It was... interestin'.

[Having the powers of a highblood when in the body of a human... yeah.]

My goodness. You must have had an even better time than the girl I found in my bathtub. [not for the first time is she glad she got skipped over for this stuff]

...Say what?

Teleportation is apparently ridiculously difficult to master. [it was an incredibly amusing morning]

...I would imagine so. Sounds like a blast.

I certainly had a good time. Her, likely not as much. I'm not really the sort of person you'd want to meet in a situation like that.

[He laughs.] And you take some sort of strange pride in that, don't you?

[It's hereditary.]

Hubris is an integral part of my psyche, dear brother. I can't help but allow it to run rampant no matter the actual quality of what I take pride in.

Right. Hubris, etc. etc. I'm totally with you on this.

I thought you might be able to climb on board diagnosing me with terminal arrogance.

I just figured that went without saying.

I think it goes without saying that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to convince you to believe I possess any trait, so long as it's a negative one.

Hey now. Don't go sayin' shit like that.

You almost make me sound like some sort of disrepectful douchebag.

You? Heavens forbid I ever impugn so harshly against your pristine honor. I'll have to flay myself a few times for even accidentally bringing such charges upon your person.

Honor, huh? Don't know how much of that I got left.

...Hey, um. Sudden change of topic and all, but... what all do you know of troll relationships?

[she frowns a little and rolls her eyes] Enough to know that I've been solicited for participation in them far too many times. Why?

Oh I dunno, it's just... It's harder to look at this shit as a human. Trolls don't have families and shit. They're all born from the same mothergrub and looked after by sentient animals.

I was just thinkin' of propositioning moiraillegiance with you, but I don't all know how that'd work if you're supposed to be my sister and all.

None of us are likely candidates to be held up as model human beings in the first place, although I'll certainly admit that there are nuances to troll culture that are difficult for an outsider to grasp. [she spins the bottle cap of her soda, contemplating as it whirls on the table]

That said, if your largest worry is about familial relationships impeding...[she slaps her hand down on the twirling cap with a grimace] I haven't exactly been adhering very strictly to the mandates of genetic kinship lately anyway. This wouldn't throw me any further into the fire than I already am now.

Don't be too hard on yourself in that respect, sister. It ain't like this is somethin' that's been known to us for too long.

I suppose not. Still, you'd think I'd be able to at least have the presence of mind to follow something so simple. [she chuckles a little]

Yeah, well...

[Sudden hugs are go.

Don't mind him. It's the troll making him do it.]

[she starts a little at the unexpected contact, but doesn't draw back. after a moment she returns the hug, albeit hesitantly]

Well indeed.

Will you up and consider this shit, maybe?

Of course. I'll give it close scrutiny and return with a decision I'm comfortable with.

Aight. Cool.

[He pulls away now, brushing back his hair with one hand in a manner that doesn't do much to help return the chill facade.]
