Hey, it's Vriska. Quick question. Does anyone need anything destroyed? I don't know, like a 8uilding or something.
I will also accept applic8nts to get their luck stolen. You won't die or anything, 8ut you will have a pretty shitty time for a few days! If I had to guess, you'll pro8a8ly stu8 your toes or drop your food or stupid things like that. I will do my 8est to make sure you won't get hurt.
It's for a good cause! ::::) If I have more luck we might 8e a8le to find out more a8out the stupid mysteries of this crap town! Plus, I might 8e a8le to help some people? Who knows! We'll seeeeeee.
Thanks, I guess!

What the fuck is a choco8o?

[photoshooter]

h/o.

[hypertoxic]

Uh.
So........
It's like........
A 8ig yellow cluck8east that sings?

[photoshooter]

they don't sing but they do have a jingle. "i want to ride my chocobo all day" etc. it's cute.

[hypertoxic]

What I'm hearing is that you definitely know how to sing this jingle.

[photoshooter]

duh.

[hypertoxic]

So when do I get my serenade? I expect only the 8est, you know.

[photoshooter]

it wouldn't be right if i don't do it with feeling, wait until i get all my color back. p sure it won't take too long. i swear i'm getting some back but it's really hard to tell when i'm kinda white to start with.

[hypertoxic]

Alright, alright.
I always thought it was pretty easy to tell, myself! You humans with your weird peachy skin tones. You all look 8izarre to me, even if I politely decline to 8ring it up most of the time.

[photoshooter]

some humans are a lot darker, human skin color can go all the way to almost black. hair too. i'm lighter than almost all of my friends, i always have been. it's one of the hints i came from somewhere else.

trolls don't have different skin or hair colors? or even different shades?

[hypertoxic]

Really? Huh. Aliens are fucking weird!
Nope. We all have gray skin and 8lack hair. Unless you dye it, like this one tool I know used to do.
What sets us apart is the color of our 8lood. I am a cerulean 8lood, 8y the way. This had important implications in my culture, which no one gives a shit a8out anymore, thank god.

[photoshooter]

i. w8 you've only met white humans? i mean wait.

......actually you're right, i guess most people here are pretty fair skinned too. i've probably only met one or two people here with darker coloring than like, gladio. THAT'S weird. believe me there's definitely more variety on eos at least. i guess i could ask someone else about earth.

ii. hang on so like

you guys are separated by something that only shows up on the inside?

[hypertoxic]

I mean, 8efore I got here, I knew a grand total of four humans. So yeah, I kind of assumed you were all pretty pasty. Who knew I'd get my shitty assumptions turned 8ack on me! No one saw that coming.
Haha. Yeah, you could say that, 8ut 8lood color shows itself in different ways. As we get older, our eyes will fill in with the pigment of our 8lood. Plus, different castes have different powers and a8ilities.

[photoshooter]

oh. huh. then i guess

idk. i feel like if it's like that, people might get along better as kids, but then as you grow up and get different, it all falls apart. human kids, they can be pretty awful to each other from the start but then you're supposed to learn better.

[hypertoxic]

Hahahaha. That's a nice thought, in a way. I guess you could say my friends were like that, 8ut trolls in general definitely aren't. We don't start nice, and we definitely don't end nice!
To 8e honest, I always thought humans were very soft, since they all seemed pretty averse to violence and killing.

[photoshooter]

[...]

not all of them.

maybe not even most.

[hypertoxic]

....
Well, that sucks.
Shows what I know, though!
I h8 to say it, 8ut I wonder if humans and trolls aren't so different after all.
