[bullsit]

Uh. I don't think, I am feeling anything other than ordinary, except maybe sort of, surprised, by your face, and its expression.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Do your people usually look so gray? With bull horns? . . . And some other things?

[bullsit]

[After a minute of awkward staring

Tavros just snorts.]

Yeah, that is what we look like, except, all of our horns are different, so I guess I am the only one with the bull horns, heh, at least that I know, maybe there are others with, um, extremely large horns too, but I don't really know them.

It's, um, okay, if you think I look sort of funny, and like a monster, because I think you look sort of funny too, since you are way too pink, and also have weird nubby teeth, and no horns, and really strange audial canals, and are generally just a funny looking, um, human.

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh! . . . Oh, I was so worried . . .

[Lucas breathes a sigh of relief as his glow dies away for good.]

I thought . . . I-I thought I changed you somehow. I feel really dumb now. But I'm so glad . . .

[bullsit]

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry, please don't, um, leak, or anything, I didn't mean to call you funny looking, at all, and you aren't dumb, and oh gosh, please don't, oh no.

[a_gentle_boy]

I-I'm not leaking . . . !

[The word is so funny that he can't help but giggle helplessly for a few seconds, unable to stop himself.]

I was so scared! I thought . . . something so dumb. That my PSI had turned into a transformation beam or . . . you know. A-And then I thought . . . That maybe it was kinda cool and I could disguise myself o-or turn Grady into . . .

[The longer he laughs, the more he can't stop.]

[bullsit]

Heh, I guess, that is actually pretty funny, and heh, woah, this turned kind of silly, hehe, I think--

[fuck it this is just a giggle party up in here can't contain this silliness any longer YOU HUMANS ARE JUST TOO WEIRD.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[After a little longer of that, Lucas wipes his leakage away and sighs again.]

You're not at all what I was thinking when you described yourself, you know.

[bullsit]

Oh, sorry, I guess I am not really used to, um, describing myself, at all, and I forget, that we have seen humans before, but they have probably not seen Trolls.

. . . Uh, what did you think, I was supposed to be like?

[a_gentle_boy]

. . .

L-Let's just say a lot less human-like. And rocky.

[bullsit]

I think, actually, it is more the humans that look, um, Troll-like, since we created your universe, and all of that, heh.

Um, I didn't think we'd ever actually, see it, or anything, and I guess I'm not that great at being a Tyrant, at all.

[a_gentle_boy]

What, really?

[Lucas blinks at him for a few seconds in astonishment before he shakes his head a little.]

Actually . . . I don't think the universe I'm from is the same one. But you really have the power to do something like that?

[bullsit]

Oh, okay, I guess that I am not, uh, a tyrant, over you or anything then. But, um, yeah! It was part of this game we played, except at the end, everything went sort of badly.

Though, I guess everything is okay now, since we are here, and everything, even if it is during a weird time, and stuck in this really small town, but something must have happened.

[a_gentle_boy]

Creating people is a game . . . ? But, um. I don't think this town is part of the world you created, either.

[bullsit]

You, uh, don't think so? I guess, that I am learning, that there sure are a lot of humans, from different universes, and they are all, um, very insistent, we did not make them.

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas smiles a little at that.]

Mostly, it's because we don't have anything like trolls in my world. But also . . . I've, um, met the person who created mine. 'Person' in the loosest sense of the word.
