[It takes a while for Terezi to absorb what she's sensing. That flash of rainbow didn't help. He's all upside down and wrapped up and she's having a hard time figuring out what he is. But colours? Those she can do]
Can't smell anything black. [Licking the screen. It's probably as well he can't see this] Can't taste anything either. Just a lot of vanilla milkshake.
[Well now. Matthew would be quite intrigued by the strange critter if he could see her, but unfortunately, they will have to be blind buddies until his eyes work again.]
You can smell colours?...And no black? Those jerks! I told them, I don't wear anything but black!
Heh so you've heard of us? Or does my natural awesome just translate really well over these things?
[He's in for a shock when he can see her]
Humans all smell the same. Well, no. If I can be bothered, I can distinguish stuff that makes them stand out from each other. But basically one human smells the same as the next.
You don't throw creatures into dungeons, Miss Troll! You get them to live there and then you throw adventurers in.
[And now, for some hardcore coincidence!]
Trolls are noctural bipeds, famously aggressive and don't work very well with each other unless a strong leader forces them to. Usually with grey skin, they have horns and sharp teeth. They tend to be lean but tall, and rely on tools and their own strength rather than magic. Generally considered extremely dangerous thanks to their ability to recover from serious wounds easily and their craftiness.
How'd I do? There's more but I'm not saying all of it at once. [More as in. Mostly the stuff that doesn't just happen to be the same.]
[And as she listens. Nocturnal, good. Aggressive...well yes, Karkat probably qualified as the unless there...skin, horns, teeth, all good. Height was variable but that was a pretty good description from someone she'd never met before. Shame he can't see her jaw drop]
That...okay, who've you been speaking to? Karkat? One of the others? Maybe you know one of the humans we were trolling.

Yep. Taste them, too. It's how I see.
[A pause as she sniffs a little more]
So why do you smell like roast porkbeast?

[He shrugs...because he's as helpful s she is.]
I dunno what I smell like. Probably because I was shot with a giant laser? I think I'm missing most of my skin.
Reply
[Because everyone can learn to "see" like she does, right?]
That must be it. I've never been shot by a giant laser but that must be why. So why'd you do a dumbass thing like that?

[Maybe not, but Matthew will work out how to do echolocation in a while. After I'm done with getting lost jokes.]
I was fighting in the Universal League of Magic Fighters semi-finals. My opponent blasted me point blank at the last moment. Almost had her too.

Bleh, boring. This way's much better.
[Oh hey that would sound familiar had Terezi actually been in the room when crazy stuff started going down]
Tsk, careless. And violent, too. Don't always get that from humans. Assuming that's even what you are...it's hard to tell from here.

Hey, it wasn't careless. I spent 45 minutes fighting without a scratch! And yeah, I'm a human. I'm just sort of...wrapped up right now.
Reply
[But hey, if it turns out it works, huge props for her!]
Still careless if you got hit in the end. And yes, you are and it's confusing. But I thought there was something familiar about you.

[Of course, his idea of a troll is vastly different to her, but. Whatever.]
Familiar? Familiar how?

[He'll roll with it.]
Well, I guess I can understand that. I have to pay attention to tell the difference between some creatures even when I can see them.

And you'd better not try throwing me in any dungeons, got it?

Wait, you mean there are more trolls here!? Cool! I've not met one before you!
[And he don't smell like lies, no sir.]
