[The face of an odd gray-skinned girl with yellow eyes and candycorn horns appears for a few seconds-- she's trying to figure out how to work this communicator and she doesn't actually realize it's recording her!]

Purrhaps if I hit this button furst--

[What is roleplaying.

He tries to focus on the blip of video first.] A... troll?

Ah... You're in the City.

[... Okay, so apparently she talks about herself in third person. He can deal with this.]

Me neither. [He grins awkwardly.] It's a pretty dumb name, I know, but it's what I was told when I got here.

There's... not a real way out. Not yet. But there's plenty of places to stay until the deities decide to send you home. And-- if you don't like the sun, there's places open at night, too.

What's your name? Or should I just call you AC?

Sorry, I don't have things like this where I'm from. A lot of it is still new to me and I've been here for a couple of months.

[Not years, though. Like Natalia...]

I think I get it, though.

Hey, um... You're a troll, right? Do you know Karkat?

[otpurr]

:33 < yes i know karkitty!
:33 < does that mean that you knew karkitty too? :oo

[He smiles at Nepeta, but it's a little sad all the same.]

Yeah. He left the City about a week and a half ago... He was staying with me.

[DON'T LOOK SO SAD LUKE... 8(

With that, she turns on the video instead.]

That wasn't too long ago! Were you a good furiend of his?

[chosenfake]

[HE CAN'T HELP IT, HE LIKED HIS ASCH REPLACEMENT.]

When I asked him about friends once, he said that sort of thing doesn't exist in troll society. Still... I helped him out, and he helped me out, and he was a really good listener when some other friends of mine left.

He-- he called me 'beacon head'. [SNORT]

video;

[otpurr]

Furiends do exist! They are just considered a disease. Karkitty is very good at listening when his furiends need it!

[She giggles at that beacon head thing. SOUNDS LIKE KARKAT...]

Why did he call you beacon head??

video;

[chosenfake]

Friends... a disease?

Nevermind, I don't want to know. Any world that looks down on making friends isn't one I want to imagine.

[YEP...]

I'm pretty sure it was my hair. I guess he wasn't used to it.

[otpurr]

I don't like it a lot either! I have the best furiends.

[... Especially Equius. THERE IS SOMETHING SHE MUST ASK.]

Luke, have you purrhaps seen someone that is STRONG and has a broken horn? I have been looking for him but I can't find him!

video;

[chosenfake]

Mm. Friends are really important.

[hjklfdf that's so cute]

No, I haven't. But there's someone else who writes with a lot of eights.

I can keep an eye out for your friend, though.

[otpurr]

[Oh... :(( SHE PURRHAPS LOOKS A LITTLE SAD FOR A SECOND.]

Okay! He sweats a lot sometimes too and sometimes he can be a little furrious, but he is very impurrtent to me!

[AND OH HE'S SEEN FRISKA...]

Her name is Vriska! I've been talking to her too.
