[There is a considerable amount of green showing on the screen of your communicator: the camera focuses on a very fashionable jade green scarf, before being pulled away from the person in question and placed on the table in front of them. Well well well, what do we have here?
At first glance, it may appear to some that the communicator has focused on one Kanaya Maryam, but upon closer look, it becomes obvious enough that the troll currently on screen is older, taller, and has much bigger horns: that is because this troll lady is indeed far older than the trolls Death City is familiar with, and is, in fact, one of their ancestors.
The Dolorosa sits up straight and poised, dressed impeccably for someone who, until very recently, held the role of a slave on a dangerous gamblingnant’s ship. She smiles slightly as she addresses the DEMISE network, adjusting her scarf so that her sign-- ♍, embroidered carefully in black thread-- is more visible.]
What an odd predicament I seem to have found myself in. An entirely new world, inhabited by a species far too different from my own... and yet, despite our many anatomical and presumably intellectual differences, the thirst for violence and war remains a common trait. I do so hope that Death City does not reveal itself to be as dangerously close-minded as Alternia, however.
[She speaks calmly; there is a certain gentleness in her voice that sounds almost motherly, even as she speaks about violence. But as much as she would love to preach about equality and the teachings of the Signless, there are other things she must do right now: meeting the descendant of her dear Ψiioniic, as well as her own; she has already met Karkat and Nepeta, after all.]
I have a request, if I may be so bold upon my arrival: it is my desire to meet two young trolls who were brought to this world before me. [At this, she raises a sheet of paper where the symbols for Gemini and Virgo were drawn, in yellow and jade green, respectively.] It is of utmost importance that I am allowed the opportunity to make their acquaintance.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[There’s a slight bow of her head at the camera before she reaches forward to turn the transmission off.]
