... Ah? If it is a green sun you're looking for, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to find it anywhere around here. [ a giggle. ]

[heardeadpe0ple]

Oh, I know that!

I don't think humans had a green sun. I don't know what color their sun is though, just that it probably isn't green.

[freedomofwomen]

It's generally seen as yellow.

But.. talking about it that way though and the way you were speaking in your initial phone call, you're not human. So what are you instead, hm?

[heardeadpe0ple]

I'm not human. Well I am right now! This place took my skin color and horns away. I'm usually a Troll.

[freedomofwomen]

A.. Troll?

[ For a moment she's quiet, but then she laughs again. ]

Not the kind that hides under bridges, I'd hope!

[heardeadpe0ple]

Hide under bridges?

That doesn't make any sense! Trolls don't hide under bridges. We build hives and live in them!

[freedomofwomen]

Ah, they don't? [ She sounds a little curious, but most of it is mostly just teasing and slightly playing around. ]

That's the strange thing for me.. I've always heard stories about them hiding under bridges and jumping out whenever someone would pass by.

[heardeadpe0ple]

Oh no. We don't do things like that. That sounds silly indeed! I believe these human stories are quite inaccurate of Troll culture.

We do not hide under bridges or jump at people who pass by.

And if we did, they'd be dead! [Troll society is pretty bleak.]

[freedomofwomen]

Hmm, it seems I have to adjust my view of this 'Troll culture' quite a bit. Everything I've been told so far has been a lie?

[heardeadpe0ple]

If these trolls are anything like us, then yes. We built our own hives with our lusus. We don't live under bridges. Although I guess we fight for survival, but that probably has nothing to do with jumping out at people!

[freedomofwomen]

Fight for survival? That part sounds a little bit cruel though, especially since you don't sound that old.. Is it something like a war?

[heardeadpe0ple]

No. That's just how the culture goes. Survival of the fittest is the term I think.

I'm six sweeps old.

[freedomofwomen]

So it's more like the animal world in that case, hm? Luckily humans have outgrown such a thing long ago..

And ah, I'm afraid we don't count in these.. 'sweeps'.

[heardeadpe0ple]

I don't know much about human society. I don't really quite understand how everyone survives. Maybe I'll get to figure it out now that I'm here.

I'm thirteen in human years I believe.

[freedomofwomen]

We just do, I suppose. ... Ah, most of the time, that is. [ a chuckle. ] As long as there aren't wars or anything of the sort.

That's still fairly young.. and yet you're already forced to compete for survival?

[heardeadpe0ple]

Well, I don't think it was that bad. I always had fun. Especially with my friends. I guess I was kind of a downer when I was dead though. Fatalistic and everything. I'm not anymore though.
