TROLLSLUM CAFE X: Already? Seriously?!

[Captain Whosit]

(#IX lasted only 4 days... seriously, you guys. )

Alright, I would just like to start out with a little message. I would like to remind everyone of the big bolded stuff at the bottom of this post. I know that trolls, and some of the other creatures that have been appearing, can tend to be rather rowdy, but I have become a bit concerned lately that it sometimes gets out of hand. I just want to remind everyone that the intent of the Cafe is to be a place to get some free-form, social RP going. Obviously, some rough-housing will be inevitable, but please avoid using characters who are likely to provoke hostile responses by their very nature. I would like the general emphasis to be on social interaction, rather than anti-social interaction.

I do not want to be a cop, but I do want to make sure that this thread is an inviting place for everyone. So, please, do have a good time, but try not to go overboard. I would like the Cafe to be as inviting to new players as possible.

Every where you go, there's places like this; a comfortable place, dimly lit, with coffee and couches and books on the shelves and free wifi and, I don't know, a soup of the day. After the sun comes up they put up the shutters and sell alcohol. It's homey, unless your homelife involves caves and monsters that eat people, which it probablv does, because you're a troll.

It's a good place to have a seat and a cup of coffee, and make a friend, which in your language is the same word as enemy, because... you're a troll.

((And if you are maybe a human, which is a thing that doesn't exist, in another univere pretending to be a troll, maybe this is a good place to roleplay in a casual, social, variably canon setting or try out a new character. Please don't poke the setting too hard and please don't go on any murderous rampages. Honk.

EDIT: Feel free to NPC service when you order something, I can't watch this all the time or reply to every comment. For that matter feel free to assume your troll works here and fill someone's order if you want.

EDIT2: OKAY GUESS WE NEED SOME RULES AFTER ALL.

This is really intended to be a loose social setting for people to fool around and chat and try new characters. It is a not great place for a big brawl in the middle of the room that everyone pretty much has to react to. If you are playing a character who is inevitably going to try and hurt people and provoke this kind of thing, you should really think long and hard about bringing them in here for that reason. If a fight comes up in the course of RP, please take it ''outside' instead of disrupting the whole room. It being in the thread is fine, but it should be set somewhere where new people or people who don't want to be involved can ignore it, please. ))

Dorgaea stared.
He put his weak, bloody hand on Rogers shoulder to try and comfort him.

(( Alright! Ignore my derp in the last thread and just lemme dump the post here instead! ))

Wielkych stares sadly at his face. "I don't-t know if you really think that. I really don't. But, I..." She lays down sideways on the couch.

"I don't know. Do you really like me and not... me? Or is that just something you do for the sake of..."

She buries her tears in the couch. Fuck, she hasn't cried ONCE in her goddamn life. Must be 7 or 8 sweeps of dull pleasure coming back to haunt her.

Also, she's not believing anything. Hell, she's not supposed to.

Vidan kneels down on his knees beside her.
"i dON't lIe. eVEr. i dON't kNOw yOu vERy wELl, bUt wHAt i sEe is sOMEONe tHAt i lIKe. sOMEONe tHAt i wANt to hELp.

He shrugs.
"dON't cARe. sTILl wANt to hELp."

Vidan kneels down on his knees beside her.
"i dON't lIe. eVEr. i dON't kNOw yOu vERy wELl, bUt wHAt i sEe is sOMEONe tHAt i lIKe. sOMEONe tHAt i wANt to hELp.

He shrugs.
"dON't cARe. sTILl wANt to hELp."

Wielkych smiles into the couch. She slowly sits up, then stands and hugs him.

"To tell the truth, I thought you were cute since I first s-saw you."

She sighs.

"I just thought... that you we-were a total..."

Her mind reels Fuck what the hell do I do now um dammit the glasses are cute that's it

She kisses him.

"Dammit, the glasses are as cute as you are."

((FIRST THREE POSTS(pfft OP doesn't count), ALREADY GOT A KISS IN

HOW'S THAT FOR A RECORD))

[redRevolvers]

Dorgaea stared.
He put his weak, bloody hand on Rogers shoulder to try and comfort him.

...It's okay. It's in the past, now.
The truth is, it's not all that okay, and it hasn't been since the moment you pulled the trigger.
It's why you're so protective of Rhys. You're not about to lose another one. Never again.

[inexplicableSigns]

((oh wow i typo'd my own characters name :T))

Virdan manages to avoid chuckling and returns the kiss, wrapping his arms around her as he stands.
"i dON't gIVe tHe bESt fIRSt iMPRESSIOn, sORRy~ bUt tHANk yOu~ i tHINk yOu aRe cUTe tOo~"

[scintillatingMoniker]

((BTW, how old is Alunas? I've generally assumed that she's pretty young, or is she just very small?))

)...i-i guess(
)but like i just said i hardly ever talk tO yOu and i like talking tO yOu!(

Salom smiles. It's a nervous smile, but a smile nonetheless. He is trying to be nice.



Oh, um... t-thanks. Uh... T guess we don't... talk that much.... Um... dtd you want... to talk about somethtng tn parttcular...?

((OK, making new thread NOW. Hang on.))

((I've retconned it a few times, but quite young, yeah. Not as young as, say, razel, but still younger than most other fantrolls))

)ummm(
)well what have yOu been dOing recently? ive talked abOut my dreams enOugh i think..(

[Monster X]

((oh wow i typo'd my own characters name :T))

Virdan manages to avoid chuckling and returns the kiss, wrapping his arms around her as he stands.
"i dON't gIVe tHe bESt fIRSt iMPRESSIOn, sORRy~ bUt tHANk yOu~ i tHINk yOu aRe cUTe tOo~"

Wielkych can't hold in the laughter anymore, and she starts giggling.

"Wow, I've, hehehe, never actually shared any emotions but hate and anger until-til today... Um. Heh. Heheh."

She leans onto him.

"Sorry for being so, heh, untrusting. It's just, I've basically not known many good people in my-in my life. Um."

[potatato]

Dorgaea notices the blood he got on Roger and lifts his hand.
Soorry.

[redRevolvers]

Dorgaea notices the blood he got on Roger and lifts his hand.
Soorry.

That's alright, I can always get this thing washed.
So, are you feeling any better now?

[Captain Whosit]

)ummm(
)well what have yOu been dOing recently? ive talked abOut my dreams enOugh i think..(

Well.... Salom thinks for a bit. T've pretty much been followtng my usual routtne.... Um... T read, T hang out on my computer, uh, T vtstt frtends somettmes and, um... sttll tratn wtth Shtvta.... and, uh.... He shrugs. And T've been comtng here a ltttle btt more lately.... T guess.

[potatato]

Dorgaea looks less frail.
Yeeaah.

[scintillatingMoniker]

)that sOunds nice(
)whO is shivia? i dOnt think ive met her befOre(

[inexplicableSigns]

Virdan nodded, holding her.
"i fIGUREd as mUCh. wELl... tHe pASt is wRITTEn, bUT tHe fUTURe is a bLANk pAGe. i'm tHINKINg we sHOULd wRITe yOu sOMETHINg nICEr... gOOd eMOTIONs, gOOd pEOPLe."
He kisses her forehead.
"sTARTINg wITh lOVe, hOPEFULLy, aNd sTARTINg wITh me?"


Siapa, sitting in a booth, wakes up. Her eyes are red, and she grows a pair of short spiky horns. Cimson is awake.

[Captain Whosit]

)that sOunds nice(
)whO is shivia? i dOnt think ive met her befOre(

Ah, um... no, T don't thtnk you have.... She's my... good frtend. Salom really has no desire to discuss his flushed feelings with Alunas. She, um, doesn't come by here very often.... Her... work... keeps her occupted.... Her "work," of course, being the slow eradication of every other troll on Alternia, but again, no need to mention this to Alunas. But, uh, that's not too tmportant.... What, uh... um... have you been meettng any new people bestdes, uh, Mttrah...?

[scintillatingMoniker]

)Oh yes! i made a new friend tOday, they are a glOwy yellOw thing called lemmOn(
)and i knOw it wasnt a dream because rOger tOld me and he is truthful(

[Captain Whosit]

A... glowy yellow thtng...? Lemmon...? Ts... ts that a ghost or somethtng...?

[scintillatingMoniker]

)umm... i didnt ask actually(
)i hOpe nOt, that wOuld be sad(

[Monster X]

Virdan nodded, holding her.
"i fIGUREd as mUCh. wELl... tHe pASt is wRITTEn, bUT tHe fUTURe is a bLANk pAGe. i'm tHINKINg we sHOULd wRITe yOu sOMETHINg nICEr... gOOd eMOTIONs, gOOd pEOPLe."

Siapa, sitting in a booth, wakes up. Her eyes are red, and she grows a pair of short spiky horns. Cimson is awake.

((Sorry, nipped off to the store for some Dr. Pepper))

Wielkych smiles. "I'd love to start with you, just as much as I love you. Hehe!"

((FFFFFFFF- there goes my last quadrantless troll now what))

[Rio]

Anahia sits down. She looks kind of spacey today.

[Captain Whosit]

T... suppose so.... Though, T don't thtnk that tt's too unusual for there to be ghosts.... T, uh, wouldn't have guessed tt even a sweep ago, but T've met, or have heard of, at lot more ghosts that T ever would have thought....

But... yeah, tt ts sad when trolls dte.... Though sometimes it is for the better, he thinks to himself. Some trolls seem to change for the better after death... and some are just better off dead. These grim thoughts are interrupted when he spots someone else he knows come in. Maybe he'll say hello to her later.

((Honestly, if you want a troll to remain quadrantless, don't bring them here.))

[Monster X]

((Honestly, if you want a troll to remain quadrantless, don't bring them here.))

((Yeah, I know, I was just noting the speed she gained a quadrant with compared to when I started really RPing her.))

[scintillatingMoniker]

Alunas just nods and makes a little mmhmm noise.

)lemmOn was tOO happy tO be a ghOst i think...(



The mute has been glaring at Siapa for this entire time.

Man, you're good at holding a grudge.

[Captain Whosit]

((I am almost, almost tempted to make a new troll just to never fill a quadrant. But that sounds like too much work.))



Well, uh, maybe you can ask, um, Lemmon, next ttme you see... uh... htm? Her...?

[inexplicableSigns]

((Sorry, nipped off to the store for some Dr. Pepper))

Wielkych smiles. "I'd love to start with you, just as much as I love you. Hehe!"

((FFFFFFFF- there goes my last quadrantless troll now what))

((... quadrantless? What is this? I don't know what that is at all :T))
"gOOd. nOw... hAHAHa. hOw do yOu fEEl aBOUt pUTTINg tHe bACKROOm to tHe tESt?"
gfdvirdan!

Cimson blinks and changes to Lemmon, walking up to Salom and her new friend!
"HI AgaiN NeW FrienD AlunaS!"
