0026 [Accidental voice]
[The feed clicks on, Polly's Guide having been bumped while she rummaged in her backpack for a notebook.]
I don't really need to take notes, sir, I'm good at remem--
[She is interrupted by a reedy voice in a decidedly supercilious tone.]

[Polly looks around at the racks and racks of floofy white confections of silk and tulle and lace. With a very deep frown she absently adds:]
She's supposed to wear white.

[Sniffing the screen now she can get a better look]
Well that's definitely a lot of white. No matter how much that male you were talking to tries to bullshit otherwise.

And I guess other planets too. My people never did it--Mother said it wasn't wise to promise anyone forever.
[She brightens.]
I thought so too! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

[Forever's a long time. Besides, the only adults she knows are the ones who are off away fighting and thus not raising the troll kids]
Nope. Whole lot of vanilla milkshake right there. Well.
[And here she licks the screen]
Near enough as to be all the same anyway.

[Polly blinks, tilting her head at this. She's never seen anyone lick the screen, before...]
Vanilla milkshake?
You mean... you can taste the colors...?

... [She considers the possibilities of this for a moment.]
It must've been awful, when you met the Vogons...

[she shrugs at that]
It wasn't pleasant. But I've dealt with worse.

[She blinks, a new thought occurring.]
Do... Do I taste like something...?

[She takes another long sniff and then licks the screen again for good measure]
Gingerbread. Definitely gingerbread.

[Before she can elaborate, Terezi's prognosis registers, and she smiles.]
I had gingerbread, once! It was really good!
[She tilts her head thoughtfully.]
What do you taste like, then?
[ooc: For any other two characters, this conversation would be very... very... awkward. :-|]

Then I suppose it's a good thing for you to taste of...and smell of.
[Ooh, interesting question. She pauses a moment then licks the back of her hand]
Not much. Really, teal's not a very exciting colour. But maybe that's because I already know what I look like.
[Which technically should apply to the others too but then since when has she ever made sense?]

I dunno, I think it's pretty!
[She regards Terezi with grave contemplation, thinking of Kiriko.]
Is it hard, not being able to use your eyes..?
Reply
Well obviously, it's an awesome colour. It's just not very exciting.
[And a nonchalant shrug at that question]
It was, at first. Before my lusus taught me how to use taste and smell instead. Now it's pretty much the best thing that ever happened to me.
[And she doesn't sound like she's joking]

But what's a lusus?
