[At around five in the afternoon or so, an anonymous message will go around the network.]
Hello.
I appear to be stranded on an unknown planet with alien lifeforms.
If I could have the name of this place along with further information on its inhabitants and its relation to the Alternian Empire, that would be most helpful.
Thank you.[It's best

D--> No one knows where it is in relation to Alternia
D--> Uh
D--> If you're from Alternia, I'm going to assume you're a troll
D--> We're the minority here
D--> Everyone will think you're the alien
D--> Just fair warning

That is a view which is completely understandable.
[Give him a moment, Equius. He is kind of staring enviously down at such blue text. If only he could be as open... Wait.]
I realize that this may be a strange question to ask of a stranger
But why do you use the quirk you have just displayed?
Reply
D--> Because it's my quirk
D--> Why else
[Sorry, bro... you're getting Dense!Equius this morning.]

As far as I am aware, that quirk is in use by another troll already.
It is very unusual for another troll to use it.
Reply
D--> And he lived a long, long time ago
D--> It's my quirk now
D--> What's your quirk, anyway
D--> Your typing is so... plain
D--> It's not even in color
[Suddenly STRONG filter!]
D--> If you're worried about your b100d color, it's not such a big deal here
D--> The humans don't care, and there's only a few trolls left anyway
D--> So if you're red or brown or something, it's c001
[Gamzee would be so proud of him if he could see this!]

I thought anonymity would be the best course of action until I were in possession of more information.
[He'll match that STRONG filter of yours, Equius. To see those words written down, by one of his blood... It is strange. It makes him think of-
And then he remembers he doesn't like thinking about her, so he quickly focuses once again on the text.]
What you say is quite peculiar.
After all, the troll you rightly speak of is still alive and... well.
D --> I believe I would know
For I am he

D--> What
Reply
D--> I believe I have the right to know the name of the troll who would use my way of typing
Reply
D--> Him
D--> The E%patriate
D--> Darkleer
D--> Can I
D--> Can I see your face
D--> Can we switch to video
D--> Please

[Kind of... still jumpy over here...]
Reply
D--> That's reasonable
[And after only the slightest of hesitations and fumblings, Equius manages to get his SFC feed switched to video. Here's your ancestor, Darkleer, looking nervous and jumpy and excited all at once.]
Here I am.

Look at that. He broke his horn, aha ha, and his teeth are probably all- yep, he's missing teeth. Just like when he was young and still fumbling around. It's hard being a dangerously STRONG troll, and luckily for Equius, Darkleer completely understands.
After a moment of gaining control of himself, Darkleer changes his feed as well.]
Indeed. There is no doubt within my mind at all. You are my descendent.
[While he's not showing it, he's both relieved and worried. Considering his own track record...
Needless to say, yeah, he has a lot of faith in those myths about ancestors and descendents.]
