the first [voice]

[dualscars]

Evenin'.

[sup tower, how's it goin'. have one (1) very very ticked off aquatic troll staring at the screen. even if you were used to seeing his species, he's a bit.. notable. mostly due to the fact that he's the kind one can instantaneously recognize as a villain-type. maybe it's the crazy collar. or the sneer revealing perfectly serrated teeth.

[ONE DAY.

One day she will learn that not every noise needs to be investigated]

...oops.

[n o p e not so fast. fast, however, is the sword that thinly embeds itself in the wall adjacent, blocking her from further escape. overly dramatic? justttt a little bit. follow its hilt and the hand gripping it, and you'll eventually see that the highblood is no longer frowning as severely. instead, it's been replaced by a smirk.]

My, my. Seems I've got both a coward and a traitor in my midst.

[discipleo]

[Wow overdramatic aren't we. Does having purple blood lead to drama. Disciple feels this is so.]

It's not cowardly to try to avoid culling.

[dualscars]

[all the drama, all of it. he twists the sword from the wall and points it toward her, though it's angled slightly downward. and, mockingly:]

Some would argue otherwise. Wouldn't it be more noble to fight for your life, or is that against his teachings too?

[F I N A L L Y someone who isn't a lowblood and worthless.]

Good evening, Orphaner.

[dualscars]

[holy cod, the first voice he expected to hear from this little device was not the empress's. however surprising, it's particularly unmistakable to him. excuse the fading shock in his voice; nevermind the giveaway expression.]

... Your Highness.

[and despite only being video, have a low bow.]

[video]

[cullionfish]

[Just the response she was looking for. It's about fucking time. Her bloodthirsty, sharklike grin spreads wide in delight, preening ever so slightly despite being on camera.]

About time this worthless hole gave me something of value to work with.

[video]

[dualscars]

[the smallest of swallows. all right, so the butterflies he gets is more than a little offputting and makes it hard not to.. well, look like an overgrown wriggler in front of her. goddamn. she receives the smallest of smiles in return, though it vanishes in light of her words.]

I take it the lowbloods have not been showing the courtesy you deserve?

[ video ]

[timegame]

...wow. No wonder Eridan has no manners!

[What is self-preservation?]

[ video ]

[dualscars]

Manners? Those would be reserved for ones who deserve such.

[ video ]

[timegame]

What makes you think a little civility won't get you what you want a little easier?

[It's an honest question, and she cants her head a little at him curiously as she awaits his response.]

[dualscars]

Gutterbloods.

[He overheard the troll speaking and didn't think anything of it, but as he comes around the corner and looks at him, he can't help but stare. Either Eridan got scarred up and big and a lot less lame, or this is his ancestor. And he really isn't sure which.

Oh well. Time to find out. He saunters up, really not worried. What's he going to do, shoot him? LOL.]

...Hey?

[Action]

[dualscars]

[not today!! nevermind the double ahab's crosshairs within this place, he opted for a rusted cutlass. attempting to destroy his room with laser beams and finding them ineffective was a tad disheartening. so yes turning to the source of the voice and staring right back, because gee, don't you look familiar!

also nevermind the putrid yellow blood already making his stomach churn in revulsion. he raises an eyebrow at him, weapon at his side.]

... You are?

[Action]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Oh damn. If Eridan didn't recognize him, that meant this wasn't Eridan, it was some ancestor of his, which was a bit scarier. Sollux struggled to cover his nervousness and cocked his head]

Thollukth Captor. You?

[dualscars]

Orphaner Dualscar.

[he presses his lips together in clear disdain for the troll in front of him. even that blasted lisp! if it weren't for the empress's orders... it wasn't as if the empire needed any more mutant filth poluting the genetic p--

he wipes the thought from his mind.]

You have some gall addressin' a superior so casually.

[it's not meant to be a compliment.]

[hiivemiindiing]

Here cometh another one.

[dualscars]

"Another one". Specify.
